quarters if it hadn't been for the wise
policeman who arrested a boy with a
bag full of knobs. All the women
swore that their husbands had been
pinching the knobs themselves as an
excuse to stay out all night. But the
arrest of the boy furnished evidence
to the contrary.
What if there we're fifty knobs stol-
Ell and only dozen or so recovered?
Every husband can assure his wife
that their knob was one of those that
were stolen. It's swell alibi.

New York, Dec 2.-Serious freight

immigration is governed by the law

North German Lloyd. when there
is a demand for labor in the United
States immigration is at it's height;
when there is no demand for labor,
and retrenchment is the order of the
day the immigrant returns to his home
in the old country.
The abandonment OF construction
work by many of the great railroads
OF the country, together with the cur
tailments being made in the great
manufacturing centers is largely re-
eponsible for the outward flow of for
eigners just now. OF course, there
are always a number who go home in
the winter, but this can not account for
the vast numbers who are returning
at the present time.
The foreigner reasons that with the
money he has saved he can return to
his old home and spend the winter
months cheaper and more pleasantly
than by remaining. perhaps in idle
ness, in this country. If conditions
warrant he will return in the spring

flows. Sometimes it looks as thugn
thousands are coming in and none are
returning. Just now they are leaving
the United States at the rate of $4,000

lustration of how the immigration
problem is solving itself
Within the last few days steerage
rates have been materially advanced
but seemingly without checking the
outward rush.
