Immigration TIDE

Thirty-Five Thousand Strangers from

NEW YORK, May lS.-The tide OF

ton from this side, but has travelled
To all the countries that send intmi.

Back in the panic days OF 1907 the
tide started to flow the other way.
over 5000 emigran1s left the United
States every day, panic-stricken. They

was stampede and II began a long
! time before the rest of the country
saw any danger.
! How do they know that times are
going to grow hard? Because they
can't get jobs easily They take their
savings. in panic times. and go to
their homes, where they can get more
to eat for their money.
Il say one foreman of an Italian
crew who was travelling with bis
whole gang Of 500 men back To Italy
Times are going to be hard here he
explained.
But today this Ellis island barom
eter says that the prospects In the
! United States are excellent. For
many months the mails have been car
rying this message from toiling folks
in this country to their friends in
other lands. The result today is that
this great rush is made up of people
who want to share in the present and

I Is that none OF them plan to go onto

BUSINESS METHODS THAT

A Detroit Woman Gives Her impress

The observations OF a Detroit wo-

to buy and did not inquire what my
husband die before giving me the
prices on the articles.

tainly pleased me. Every one | en-.
countered seemed In splendid disposi-

The gentleman who waited on me did
net sell me any furniture. | told him

simply looking around and that a
friend had sent me there to get the
price on rugs. I have found in ny

some store will cut the price and feel

The Age of Iron

These times in which we live are
often called the iron age because our
civilization depends to SO great an ex-
tent upon iron and steel. Our railroads
our steamboats, and batt1eships, our
machinery, our "sky scrapers, even
our reinforced concrete, use vast GUAM
titles of iron and steel. without iron
and steel civilization could hardly con-
tinue on its present lines.
Now comes the learned Professor
Rinz and says that the worlds known
supply of iron ore, in all lands is only
S.O00,O00.000 tons. and that at the pres
ent rate 1t will all be gone before the
close of the twentieth century.
But let us not begin to worry about
1t. Other scientists have an idea that
the. interior of the globe may be almost
all iron; and some way will surely be
found to tap these hidden stores when
the surface ore is exhausted
