Our foreign trade is showing some
very satisfactory results. In April our
exports aggregated nearly $200,000,O0
and our imports $144O00,000, an excess
of exports amounting to about $4,000
900, against $16,Ooo,oOOta year ago. For
the ten months of the fiscal year the
excess of exports has been $4,000, 900
against 1924, 100000 one year ago. This
liberal and larger excess of exports
places us in an exceedingly strong
position as regards our foreign trade,
and will go far toward payment for
the securities which we were obliged
to take as a result of the European
selling caused by the Balkan war. Our
exports in April were $20,00O,0O0 larger
than year ago, when the total was
100000, or the largest for April
on record.

A QUESTION OF ASSIMILATION.

A QUESTION OF ASSIMILATION.
The future Of this country lies In It's
ability to assimilate and Americanize
the thousands of foreigners who an
nually come to this land of promise.
Our laws are framed to enable the
building up OF homogeneous civiliza-
tion-a country OF one people despite
the many different races that make up
it's component parts. Care must be
exercised, therefore, that we do not
bite off more than we can chew. as
it were, in undertaking to Americanize
all who come to our shores. Just as
soon as we give free rein to some race
that cannot for some reason or other
be made to fit in with our clv1llzatlon'
religion, customs and everyday Hfe,
then the United States are in danger.
and the bands that hold them together
will rapidly weaken.
While the course taken by Cali
fornia in legislating against the
Japanese may not meet with approval
everywhere, nevertheless the people
there are taking the right course as
they see 1t. They do not want any peo-
pie to step in and dispossess them OF
their lands, crowd them out and sup
plant them.
Neither does anyone else. The
country at large does not want to see
California become Japanese state.
Not that they do not respect the
Japanese, but because they feel that
America is for Americans, and in spite
Of all that can be said to the contrary,
the Japanese cannot, and will not, be-
come Americanized. They cannot join
us in our churches. They will not adopt
our customs and forget their own
traditions. They cannot intermarry
satisfa ctorily for their offspring at the
best will be considered halfbreeds..
It therefore behooves the country to
appreciate the fact that what 1t can
not Sassi1niiate, 1t must keep out, just
the same as the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he

AeoUr GOOD COOKING.

It is a most unfortunate fact that
there are many women today VINO
boast that they cannot cook meal to
save their lives. They seem to hold
the opinion that the art OF cooking
belongs only to servants, anC that IT
is a confession Of plebeianism to admit
an ability to prepare an appetizing
meal. Not that every woman should
feel It her duty to do the cooking for
her family regardless of her finan cial
ability to employ servants to do Il: II
every woman in this land we're con.
fined to her kitchen, progress would
pause very perceptibly. ),
Nevertheless, to be a good COOK
should be the boast Of every woman.
She who has not learned to do the
work herself has no right to direct
Others. When she is competent, the
meals are wholesome, whether she
does the work herself or merely
directs it. The result is a happy hus-
hand. healthy children, and prosperity.
This is the way one man puts 1t:
ga wife can cook her husband into
. successful career If she prepares
wholesome. palatable breakfast for
him he leaves the house in good
spirits, smiling and confident. He ap-
proaches his work with vigor. He
radiates hopefulness and cheer, so
that everyone near him works all the
harder, as we'll as all the easier. En-
thusiasn1, good nature, confidence,
bexet success in business.
ION the contrary, il the husband
leaves home grouchy, after having had
an ill-cooked, soggy breakfast, he
radiates gloom over the whole office
force. everybody near him becomes a
crouch, There is nothing but friction
in the work. No one cares, no one
wishes for success - and success
doesn't come" ..-.:-

Madame Recamier was celebrated
French beauty specialist who flourish
ed during the reign Of Napoleon Bona
parte and died at the age Of Is years
without having contracted a solitary
wrinkle. In order that she might not
run out of initials, her parents named
her Jeanne FRANCHISE julie Adelaide
Bernard, with the result that her visit
ing cards looked like the pedigree of
a thirty.second degree Mason.
At the age of fifteen years, Mrs. Re-
camier was married to/a French bank
er,, in order to lift mortgage from the
family cook stove. After having at.
tended to this, her husband disappears
from the pages of history, leaving be-
hind him a large, thick income and
very little else. He was subject to fits
of melancholy, owing to being obliged
to open saloon in his house and see
ing his wife surrounded by members
Of the French nobility in knee pants
and white silk stockings. AS he was
not what you would call a literary bud,
he would go upstairs and play solitaire
while his wife ran the saloon. He
had a sad life.

MADAME RECAMIER.

From all accounts, Madame Reca-
mier put in most of her time at the
photograph gallery, sitting for full
length portraits in kimono and a
bewitching smile. She evidently had
this smile copyrighted, for it appears
in all of her pictures. 1t is said that
between keeping up the saloon and
paying for his wife's photographs,
Mr.. Recamier had hard time making
ends meet. -a
Madame Recamier is best known,
perhaps, as the composer OF, a skin
food and complexion renovator which
she used with so much success that
when she was sixty years of age she
was proposed to by every stranger
who visited her saloon. One time the
Emperor Napoleon saw her complex
ion just after it had been re-varnished
and invited her to become q member
of his court, and on her refusal he
banished her from the country and
revoked the license Of her saloon.
She opened up again, however, after
the administration changed hands, and
for years did a hourishing business
in belle letters, original poetry and
other intoxicating fluids.
