thousands OF undcsirables find en-

Yet the United states government is
waking up to the seriousness of the
problem. The immigration bill. upon
which Congress will pass during the
present session, provides for a more
rigid examination OF undesirabcs at

provision would have worked TO de-

she did not care to retain. There Is,
nevertheless, a fallacy in our system OF
handling immigrants in that we have

The bill further provides for inter

tuition of Midhat Pasha, and it found
favor but for "A few years. Its author
became the subject of it's opposers
vengeance and died by the hand of an
assassin in his prison cell in 1883.
Prior to this date. when the powers
were upon the point of stepping in, the
constitution was revived and intcrven-
tion STAYED off. Later the same thing
happened. the constitution proving an
effective remedy for abuses time after
time. Yet its period of existence was
always brief. Talk of the partition of
Turkey frequently was rife. But the
powers found in Add Ill Hamid clever
schemer. Germany wanted railroad
in this direction, England in that;
privilege was continually being sought
by the powers, each with her own pc
culiar purpose. Abd-ul-IIam was al
ways ready and played one power
against another in such way as to
BATTLE attempts at reconstruction of
the national policy.
In June, 1908, England and Russia
were about to step in with a program
of reform in Macedonia which they
were prepared to enforce if necessary
with arms. Then the revolution of
Young Turks took place and the con
stitution of Midhat Pasha was Olsen
tombed. Again this forgotten instru-
ment served to stave off intervention
Yet it was soon again forgotten. In
1910 member of the party of Union
and Progress addressed his copatriots
and referred to this document. He re
minded them that the constitution gave
equal rights to Mussulmans, Christians
and all citizens, but further stated that
such a guarantee was impossible, "for
first of all, the holy law is opposed t.
it; all our history, the sentiment OF
hundreds of thousands of true believ
ers is opposed to it, The reaffirma
ton of the traditional policy of theiI
fathers had its effect, for the soldier,
were quick to catch the spirit of this
address. The massacres that followed
were as terrible as many of the former
attacks upon Christians.
So with this seesawing back and
forth between the old regime and the
progressives, with cry for education
on the one hand and cry for its sup
preston on the other. it is not sur
prising that Turkey, upon attempting
to stem the tide of wrath that mani
tested itself in the present upheaval
should find her bullets ineffective
against the enemy. Should the wal
drag on with the Young Turks in con
troll, or should the old regime still play
for time in the hope that something
will turn up to save for Turkey the
key to her national integrity Adrian
ople, the outcome, though perhaps de-
layed, cannot but be against the dcs-
potism of race that has failed to
keep up with the pace of civilization.

In the normal human being every
influence that tends to raise the inner
bodily heat tends likewise to call. forth
response on the part of the skin. The
moment the blood becomes overheated
the skin opens up all it's pores and
sends out a stream of liquid perspira-
ton. AS the latter evaporates from
the skins surface the extra heat is dis
sipated. The body cools and the nor

point. On the other hand. as soon as
the external influences are such as to
lower the general temperature of the
body the skin responds by shutting up
its pores Heat is thus conserved and
