SHOW
IOWA IS GAINING
PREDICTION IS THAT HAWkEYE
STATE WILL BE FIFTH IN NUN.
Der OF AUTOMOBILES.

The prediction is being made that
Iowa will rank fifth in the number Of
automobiles owned and operated by
citizens of the state. This will surely
happen, the experts declare, if the
present rate of gain is kept up. Last
year Iowa ranked sixth. 1t is expect
ed that this year the Hawkeye state
will pass Pennsylvania and possibly
it.
There were 1,229,53O automobiles
registered In the United States in 1918.
New York stood at the head Of the
states in the ownership Of motor
vehicles, having 121,793. California
was second with 1875. Ohio third
with 90,522. Illinois ranked fourth,
having 79,247, and Pennsylvania 49,
924. Iowa was sixth with 7O,224.
The farmers of Iowa own more auto
mobiles than the rural population Of
any other state. New York, California,
Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania have
many large cities where the ownership
of autos runs high, while Iowa has few
large cities.
During January the state automobile
department issued 23,97S more auto
plates than it did in January, 1913.
In January, 1918, the following num-
Der of plates were sent out: Automo-
biles, GLASS; motorcycles, COS; deal
ers, S4S: extra dealers, 1,252-a total
of 24,16O.
Last month tho department issued
the following number of plates: Auto
mobiles, 42,300; motorcycles, 1901;
dealers, 1,425. Nearly $4,000 vehicles

0TTUMNA GIRLS
ARE SUPERIOR
TEAM VANQUiSHED
IN BASKETBALL GAME BY
SCORE OF 81 TO 10.

The Ottumwa high school basketball
team Of the girls won hard fought
game from the Bloomfield team Sat
urday night by the score of Al to Is.
Although the score may indicate an
easy victory for the Ottumwa team,
nevertheless Bloomfield put up a fine
game. At the end of the first half
Bloomfield was slightly ahead but in
the second half Ottumwa hit its stride
and won. This is the first year that
Bloomfield has played basketball and
credit Is due the school for turning
out such a good team and for putting
up such a fast game. Ottumwa has
played basketball for several seasons
and thus had the advantage over the
visiting team. Miss Lillian Deskin
was easily the star for Ottumwa, as
she made seventeen baskets. She has
become so accurate in her shooting
this year that she seldom misses a
chance. Miss Riley was probably the
star of the visiting aggregation al
though Miss Mccoy ran her close
second.
After the game masquerade hall
was given the Bloomfield team by 4e
Ottumwa girls. An enjoyable time,
was spent and the Bloomfield girls are
loud in their praise of the hospitality
shown them by Ottumwa.
The lineup for the teams was:
Ottumwa-Lillian Deskin, Martha
Williams, forwards; Ruth Wood, CEN
ter; Eva Brouhard, side center; Gladys
Avery, Helen Evans, guards.
Observation-Disclosures Riley, Winnie
Mccoy, forwards; Miss Walker, cen
ter; Mary Pillam, side center; Verna
Fenton, Mary Owsley, guards.
The score of the game follows:
Baskets-Deskin, IT; Williams, 8;
Riley, 2; Mccoy, 3. Free throws
Deskin, 3; Riley, 3.
Both teams were pleased with the
referee work done by Miss Anderson
of Bloomfield.

CEDAR RAPIDS CHURCH
WILL HAVE NO DEBT

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 16.--The new I'm
maculate Conception church which is
to be built this year at Third avenue
and Tenth street, will be consecrated
free from debt at the time of its dedi-
cation.
Only once before in the annals of
Catholic church building in Iowa has
such feat been accomplished. The
Catholic church at Petersburg, a small
but wealthy German settlement in Du-
buque county, was consecrated without
debt when it was dedicated some few
years ago. That church cost complete
$S5,O00 The new church to be erected
here will cost about $4,000.
The fact that Very Rev. J. J.
Toomey, pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception. will be able
to say the first mass in the new church
without having to make an appeal for
funds to apply on an Indebtedness was
made possible by the energetic work
the past three or four days by ninety
men of the parish, who started out
to raise $4,000 exclusively in their
own congregation. 1t was a whirlwind
campaign.
One of the most impressive features
was the presence at the meeting of
Rev. Father Clement Lowrey, who
built the present Immaculate Concep-
ton church forty-four years ago. At
that time there were but thirty-fiye
Catholic families in the parish and
Rev. Father Lowrey declared the
undertaking was as big, if not bigger,
than the undertaking to build the pro-
posed new church.

JAPANESE PROXY
MARRIAGES HIT
THE IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER
SAYS Y. s. NEED NOT REcoo.
S. NlZE CEREMONIES.

Washington, Feb. 16.--Commissione
General Caminetti of the bureau of i'm
migration in his first annual report,
submitted to Secretary Wilson, recon-
mended certain notifications of the
Chinese exclusion act, and expressed
the opinion that great care should be
taken with the "seamen's bill pending
in congress, declaring that the sea
mems bill on the one hand and the
immigration and Chinese exclusion
laws on the other cannot be properly
enforced unless their terms are
brought into substantial and practical
accord"
Commissioner Caminetti made no re-
ference to the general question of
Asiatic immigration, other than COM
ment on "aliens employed on vessels"
and what he says is the danger of
Chinese and other Asiatics getting in
unlawfully by serving as seamen and
deserving.
AS to Japanese immigration, he ex-
presses doubt as to whether the "pho-
tograph" brides after having gone
through a marriage ceremony by
proxy, recognized as legal in Japan,
are really entitled to admission. He
says he does not believe "any such
marriage is binding upon the United
States in the administration Of immi-
grafton laws; and also that there is no
treaty with Japan, or other arrange
ment whatsoever, that provides for the
recognition by the United States Of the
so-called marriage of woman in Jap.
an with man who may be in the
United States at the alleged date Of
the same He says there seem to be
need of repetition and emphasis of the
statement in the former commissioner
generals report, which declared that
the practice of admitting such women,
"opens the way for the introduction in
to continental United States of large
bodies of common laborers-females,
it is true, but none the less competitors
of the laborers of this country; and
this practice must necessarily result
in constituting large native born jap
anese population-person who, be-
cause of their birth on American soil,
will be regarded as American citizens,
although their parents cannot be nat
uralized."
Despite the fact that everything pos
sible under the existing law is being
done, said Mr.. Caminetti, to prevent
the entry of Chinese not entitled to be
here. Chinese laborers are constantly
gaining admission, in the guise of
minor sons of merchants. students, ma
tives, or sons of natives"
mo one would dispute the propriety
and advisability of permitting young
men of the Chinese race to obtain
higher education in this country" he
adds, provided the privilege is SO safe
guarded as to prevent it's abuse. But

e. J. Shook of Ottumwa. The sub
ject was "a Few Reasons Why l am
a Christian" 1t was one Of the very
best addresses ever delivered in the
town and it greatly encouraged the
new recruits in the Lords army. At
the conclusion of the address the en-
tire number present arose and sang a
song arranged by the pastor especially
for this occasion entitled "A Song of
Friendship and Loyalty This song
was dedicated to the First Methodist
Episcopal church of Buxton. At this
juncture the ladies of the church
served most delightful lunch. The
balance of the evening was spent in
games of various sorts and proved to
be one continuous round of socialbility
and Joy. There were approximately
200 people present and they all unite
in declaring that the standard of en-
tertainments and sociables now being
