ABOUT MR.. ESTES.

The University News, of Ann Arbor,
Mich, has the following to say OF Mr..
l.. A. Estes, who is the son of Mrs.
G. ID. Bailey. living on South Fifteenth
street. and is quite we'll known in the
city:
"Of the class of 1910 graduated from

writing and publishing the first book
falls to Mr. l.. A. Estes, of Richmond,
Indiana, the youngest member of the
class. 1t is a technical book on
Earthquake Construction for Zones of
High Seismicity.'" 1t is very bright,
keen, simple discussion and has
aroused great interest among those
who believe that concrete is the COM
ing building material.
The American Architect devotes
two columns to the review of this
book and says that Mr.. Estes has fur
nished some new ideas for Earth
Proof Construction" which promises
to be of great value to the world. MIR.
Estes is also frequent contributor
to the American Exporter, Engineer
ing News, Etc. He holds a very re-
sponsible position as assistant TO the

Uncle Sam Can't Exclude the Chinese

exclusion act, according to the report
of Commissioner General of Immigra-

smuggling Cinnamon into this country
has been growing in spite of the in
creased efforts OF inspectors Most OF
the Celestials are coming across the

only a small proportion remained
there. In the past five years immi-

others have been smuggled across the
American border.
Mr. Keefe will advise Secretary
