Can Aliens Own Land7

Editor The Star. In an editorial
OF Saturdays issue Il IL Implied
that none but citizens OF the Unit
ed States may hold land In this
state. Cynthia Grey, IN the same
issue. also states that none but CIT
izens may acquire land In the Unit
ed States except by mortgage.
Now I submit that this lnforma-
tion Is misleading, In face OF the
fact that in Ballinger and Reming-
toms Annotated Codes and stat
utes OF Washington, General stat
utes. volume 2. page 1898, para
graph 8775, the following Is eX-
pressly stated:
ANY alien. except such az by
the laws Of the United states, are
incapable Of becoming citizens OF
the United States. may acquire and
hold lands, OF any right thereto, by
purchase, devise or descent, and he
may convey, mortgage and devise
the same, and II he shall die intes-
tate. the same shall descend 10 his
heirs; and In all cases such lands
shall be held, conveyed, mortgaged
or devised, or shall descend. In
Ike manner and with Ike effect az
N such alien were a citizen Of this
state or Of the United States
This paragraph Is in APPARENT
conflict with Article 2, section 80
Of the state constitution, but n
such a law vas not intended TO be
applicable, why was It placed on
the statute books?

time becomes a problem to his or to

ure true no matter what the financial
condition Of the one left alone.
A lover of lovers discovered in
happy rhyme that this world is built
for two; the little garden seats are
for two. the little swings hold only
two, there is room In the little boat
for just two, and the little paths are
just broad enough for two to walk
together. Had this lover of lovers
gone further into natures plan,. he
would have learned that this world
is built for two in more than its
romantic aspects.
Every home is for two primarily.
Every burden, every humiliation.
Every joy that comes to home was
meant to be divided by two The
sorrow is too great to bear, the hunil-
iation too bitter to endure, and the
joy loses half its flavor when expert
enced by only one. When the chill
dren have grown and have left the
nest. one could not ask greater boon

left together to live life over again in
mutual memories.

rests for an hour while she has her

she dresses for luncheon, and after
she has went to the eats once more
she is whirled away in electric

HINTS
FOR THE
HOME

DO not use too much force in polish
ing shoes. A gentle brushing with
a soft brush is better than the vigor-
Gus work of the bootblack. Never
allow the thick crust of blacking on
your shoes Wash it off occasionally
and apply a little castor oil; then
polish over in an hour or two.
A towel attached to the kitchen
apron saves many steps for the busy
linen and sew a loop of tape on one
corner. Slip this loop over the apron
band. and you will always have a
towel ready for wiping the hands
upon.
When lining a basin with pastry
for a beefsteak pudding, cut a piece
of the pastry away from the bottom
about the size of half dollar piece:
then put the meat in, and the pud-
ding will take an hour less to cook
than If there were no hole in the
paste.
For getting rid of black beetles in
the kitchen, mix thoroughly together
equal parts of sifted sugar and p1as-
ter Of Paris. Place the powder in lit
tie heaps on the floor, where the
beetles mostly come. In short time
they will all have disappeared.

1t is now such an easy matter to

woman need longer tolerate super

A thick paste made with little

move the remaining delatone it will
be free from spot or blemish. To
