We don't know what daisy-seed costs.

The parable throws some light on the
cost of a paint half whitewash. White
wash, mixed half-and-half with paint, is all
paint i'll look and feel; indeed nine-tenths
of the ''paint" tn the stores is part white
wash: some half, some more, some less
Paint has to be spread with the brush,
the surface prepared, the ladders scaifolds
pulleys and ropes arranged and moved,
there's a great deal of labor in putting
paint on; it costs S2 to - gallon to do 1t
What does it cost to paint whtewash'
lust the same. llalf-whitewash? ust the
same 1t doesn't seem worth while, for the
whitewash does harm, not good,
Will the paint hold the whitewash fast'

Il Gets Its Name From the Cutting,
Not From the Stone.
The true nature of a cameo is very
orally. Most people think ii is the stone
itself, when in reality the method OF
cutting rs what produces the cameo.
The real meaning OF the word is un-
known, its derivation having never
been discovered; but. correctly speak
ing canoes are small sculptures exc.
cutcd in low relief on some substance
precious either for It's beauty, rarity or
hardness.
There are emerald canoes. turquoise
canoes. shell canoes, coral canoes.
Indeed any substance that lends itself
10 carving in such minute detail can
be used for cameo cutting, and nearly
all precious stones. except diamonds.
have been so used for intaglios. but
never for canoes. Emerald is the most
common precious stone from which
canoes have been made, and there are
some very fine emerald portrait cam
eos i'm existence, notably those OF
Queen Elizabeth in the British muse
um. Shell capeos were first made In
the fifteenth century.
Banded onyx is generally used for
cameo work because of its hardness
and coloring. and il is this fact that has
caused the misapprchcnsiOn the stone
being used so much in making canoes
that II has now become better known
as cameo" than by it's right name

THE WISH OUTLOOK

This remarkable word has served
as IA stimulus to the campaign now be-
ing waged for the society for the crea-
ton of the field secretary fund by
Drs. Berkowitz and Rosenau. They
have received good sums in Louisville.
Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Balti-
more and Washington. They will con-
tinue their canvass work and it is
probable that they can extend the trip
through the South for this purpose
within the next ten days or two weeks.
The lantern-slide activities of the
society are also showing remarkable
vigOr. Itineraries have been made up
which include such divergent points
as Mississippi, Utah and even such
western points as Seattle, Washing
ton.

immigrants and upon their arrival
promptly to forward them to divers
points in the great American Hinter-
land, extending from the Gulf to the
Dominion line, from the Mississippi
to the Pacific No difficulty is being
found to obtain for all who reach
there remunerative employment at nu-
merous centers. In, fact, the newcom-
ers are rather eagerly sought after
throughout this territory. Galveston,
with it's system of railroads extending
in every direction like the five fingers
of the hand, is admirably situated as
a point of entry and distribution.
New Orleans, Mobile and some Of the
South Atlantic ports could no doubt
be utilized to advantage for the fur
ther extension of a movement which
has for it's purpose DETECTION of the
stream of immigration from the North
Atlantic seapOrts and distribution
of the newcomers over the large in
land area where there is not alone bet
ter and more room for them, but
where they are eagerly wanted and
where they would be much better sat
isfied, than they are likely to be in
the overcrowded tenements of New
York and other nearby coast towns.
1t has been claimed that to make
IL movement as here outlined abso-
lutely successful, it will be necessary
to establish through legislation some
thing like a port limitation, restrict
ing the number which shall be per-
mitted to enter each year through
New York and other North Atlantic
ports. 1t is perhaps not even desir-
able that such a restriction be i'm
posed, but ways and means can no
doubt be found to make an entirely
effective regulation of immigration
which shall tend, not to restrict, but
to lead the inflow into channels where
it will continue to result in the great
est good to the greatest number
