States admitted aliens through its gate
ways at the rate of more than a hundred
thousand per month-enough people to
populate the entire city of Albany. These
human beings came from forty-eight
countries of the globe and ran the gamut
Of type from the fair-skinned Celt to the
wrinkled, grim-visaged Hindoo.
Into New York state poured enough to
populate the city of Buffalo: Pennsylva-
MIA received an increase In population
equal to that of the city of Portland,
Ore: Illinois acquired enough new resi-
dents to fill another Nashville. Tenn;
California received as many aliens as
she had residents in her city Of Pasa-
dena, and Massachusetts, a number suf
fcient to populate another Lowell or
Cambridge.
Separating the human dross Of this
mass and redistributing it is only the
first OF many great problems which con-
front officials in dealing with such a
throng of citizens-to-be Aliens who have
been lucky enough to pass the physical
and mental tests that qualify them for
admittance must be transported to Sec
lions of the country where they can
ind employment.
The bureau of immigration is about to
institute a new process simplifying this
distribution. 1t will be countrywide in
effect and influence. Instead of confining
the office of distribution to New York
city alone. as it now does. branches with
officers in charge will be established in
other ports Of entry and the leading
cities.
The bureau has made an appeal to
every foreign language newspaper print
ed in this country to help it in the promo
tion of this new scheme. These papers
will print lists of farm employment op-
portunities. gathered from the farmers.
Then each alien landing at city may
see at once what sort of occupation can
be obtained nearby.

PARCEL POST EXHIBITS AT
COUNTY FAIRS THIS FALL
Authorized by BurIeson to FamiIiarize
Farmers With Postal Facility.

To meet a widespread demand parcel
post exhibits will be feature at many
of the thousands of county fairs and
other rural gatherings to be held in
the United States this fall. Postmaster
General Burleson has authorized post
masters at all county seats to provide
for the exhibits.
The purpose is to use an opportunity
which, it is believed, offers an excel
lent means Of showing the rural public
how to take full advantage Of this CON-
paratively new postal facility. Scores
of the .postmasters took the initiative
and wrote the department asking per-
mission to install and conduct such
visual demonstrations of the parcel
service.
More particularly the county fair dis
plays will give farmers an object les
son in the working Of direct exchange
between country and city Of the less
bulky articles Of farm production.
Sample packing boxes and containers
such as have proved satisfactory in
experiments conducted Jointly by the
postoffice department and the Office Of
the markets Of the department of ag-
riculture are to be placed on view. Lit
erature describing in detail how best to
serve the necessities Of city consumers
will be distributed by postal employees,
who will conduct the exhibits.
An appropriation is not available to
meet the costs Of preparing and main
tanning postal displays of the kind.
But the department is Informed that
in the majority Of cases space for the
governments use can be had free Of
charge. Suitable exhibits of sample
containers and shipments can be pre-
pared at little or no cost. Postmasters
are authorized to give as much of their
personal time and attention to the
preparation of the exhibits as may be
necessary.
