In a telegram Ia Governor John

view OF President Wilson that the
California legislative bill might be
construed as a violation OF the
treaty obligations with Japan, and u
this. the Federal government recog-
nizes the riehi OF California to legis-
late according to It's own judgment,
but the message counscled caution.
Information from official circles
indicated clearly that the provisions
In the assembly bill will be regarded
here as distinct discrimination
against the japanese. The language
OF the senate bill. however, was ap-
proved by the President, as SPECIAL
states already have such measure
in force, prohibiting ownership OF
lands by any who have not expressed
their intention OF becoming citizens,
and may still exclude Japanese from
land ownership. because the courts
hold they are not OF white or Airi-

mating because II will not directly ap-
ply to the japanese alone.

PALESTINE OF TODAY.
Land Once Flowing With Milk and

Land Once Flowing With Milk and
Honey Now Barren.
One of the most remarkable illus
trations in all history of the i'll eff
fects of the disappearance of forests
may be observed in Palestine, says
the Christian Herald In the days
when Joshua conquered the Promised
Land Palestine was a wonderfully
fertile country, a land flowing with
milk and honey. The Lebanon noun
tains were heavily wooded and a
large population was supported in
comfort.
The general devastation of the for
ests brought about, however, a grad
ual deterioration of the country. The
hills of Galilee, which had long, serv-
ed as pasture lands for large herds
of cattle and sheep, are now sterile.
The Jordan has become an insignifi-
cant stream and several smaller
streams are now completely dried
up throughout the greater part of
the year Some few valleys in which
fertile earth washed down from the
hills has been deposited have retain
ed their old fertility. The land today
supports only one-sixth the popula-
ton of the time of Solomon.

If has been the custom in Georgia,

The introduction of modern meth
DDS and machinery has increased
enormously the economic efficiency
of labor. Today it takes man an
hour and a half to make a pair OF
shoes with the help of machinery. In
1850, by hand labor, the time re-
quired was Is hours.
One man can now turn out yard
of body Brussels carpet in 30 min
utes. The same task, by hand labor,
used to require four hours. Former
Iy it took 80 hours to make set of
buggy harness; today the time occu-
pied is only 90 hours.
Sixty years ago one man could
manufacture So pounds of laundry
soap in an hour. With the help OF
, machinery he can now make 1900
pounds within that time. Or, if he
| is skilled in such work, he can put
| ND a dozen cans of tomatoes in two
and a half minutes-a task which
would have occupied three-quarters
of an hour in 1865, when the vegeta-
Bile canning industry was in its in
| fancy.
In 1850 it took half an hour to
make one sewing machine needle;
today it takes three-quarters OF a
minute A skilled hand can now turn
out 1000 cigarettes in an hour by
machinery; in 1880, by hand labor,
100 an hour represented pretty near
| ly the maximum rate of production.
Today one man can make 1000
loayes of bread in nine hours at a
cost of $1.65 for labor. Half cent
! ury ago the same task occupied 2S
hours at an expense for labor OF
$3.50.
The people of the United States
wear 100000 dozen pairs OF stock
ings in a year-of which number
$4,000 900 dozen pairs are socks and
100000 dozen pairs are silk hose,
affected by lovers of luxury This
industry occupies the time of no.
600 wage earners, so that the aver
age output per worker is 572 dozen
pairs per annum.
The average person engaged in
such employment makes in year
1920 felt hats, of which no fewer
than 100000 are purchased and
worn in the United States. 1t IS
machinery, of course, that renders
so great an output possible, and the
same is true of carpets and rugs OF
which our manufacturers produce
S2,OOO,OOO square yards in twelve
, month.
Sixty years ago one man could
grow enough crops to feed perhaps
half a dozen people Today two men
can plant and harvest enough wheat
to supply 1000 persons with bread
Thanks to modern machinery, the
labor of one man today in the mines
will produce three times as much
coal as in 1850 with half the loss ny
waste. A similar increase OF pro-
duction, due to improved apparatus
and methods, is found in iron ana
other kinds of mining. Gold and sill
yer are by no means exceptions. In
deed thanks to the cyanide" and
other new processes, as much gold
has been taken out of the earth in
the last 25 years as was mined in the
previous 400 years.
