"Hanqar," the Alrehip Word.

Hangar" denoting a shed for air
ships, is taken from the French. who
use it also to denote a shed for cars
and wagons, especially among farmers.
The word is not Celtic. 1t was much
used in the Middle Ages to denote the
service exacted from country people in
forwarding government couriers. We
first hear the word in the fifth century
before Christ. in Eschylus. Herodotus
and Xenephon. They got the word
from Persia, where 1t denoted the
kings courier. This word, ''angaros,
whether originally really meaning a
messenger or a burden, should not be
confounded with the term. angel"
which is Greek, while ''angaros" is Per
sian. English dictionaries will throw
light upon the subject in the article
"angariation." Few words have shown
greater resistance than this Persian
postal term.

A million South Europeans come
to the United States every year
for a century what will the aver
age American be like at the end
of that time? What will be the
effect of these millions Of fertile peo-
pie upon the ultimate product OF the
melting pot? If the American blood
becomes largely that of the peasants
Of those down-trodden countries will
the dominant traits of the present be
lost? ~
These are questions that are raised
by the figures issued by the commits
sioner of immigration, for those tg-
ures show a striking accentuation OF
the immigration tendency that has de-
velOped with in the last decade. SO
far has the tendency gone that for the
fiscal year recently closed 1t is shown
that SO per cent. of all corners have
been from the races Of South Europe
and Eastern Asia. The men who are
wont to look far ahead in the prob
lens of national we'll being are be-
coming alarmed with the record of
edCH succeeding season.

dency to continue the present Ameri-

tinctly different races as Japanese,
Chinese, MeXicans, Africans.
The point is therefore that the
whole influence of immigration is
toward breaking down the American
citizenship as it exists today by put
ting in it's stead the blood of races
that heretofore have had nothing to
do with its making. These people
have been coming to America for such
a short time that the effect that they
are destined to have in the course OF
amalgamation is an absolutely I'M
known quantity. If the stream of i'm
migration continues in accordance
with the present tendency the Amer

Diverting the Tide.
The necessity OF adopting some
means to divert the tide of immigra
ton from the congested centers to the
country, where advantages not to be
found in the larger cities are afforded.
Is also a subject deserving of serious
consideration.

which alien steerage arrivals were
destined, their professional occupa-

which they were members. Attention

III more Ways tnan this Ellis island
is the great Interrogation point OF
America. One of the most serious prob
lens that the United States has to
solve today is how to put up the bars
high enough to keep out undesira bic
and Objectionable immigrants and yet
to let in those that will be useful and
valuable citizens in the years to come
There are many phases to this big
problem. Another is how to distribute
the aliens throughout the country and
to keep them from crowding into the
already densely populated portions Of
the big cities there to become L men
ace rather than benefit.
