ALIENS SHOULD
RESPECT LAW
Bureau of Naturalization in Letter Says
This is First Principle in Training
for American Citizenship.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Responding 10
numerous inquiries the bureau OF natur-
alization yesterday issued general
letter relative to its views as to the
course which should be followed in train
ing the alien population in American cit
izenship.
While pointing out the impossibility
OF laying down any hard and fast rules
on the subject, the letter declares that
the prime requisite is ability to speak
the English tongue.
1T is through this medium alone" it
says, that aliens can acquire prac-
teal knowledge both in and out of the
schools, of our institutions. This will
lay the necessary foundation for instruc-
tion in some simple outline of American
civics, tho duties and the obligations as
well as the privileges and immunities OF
American citizenship.
"Above all, in this connection they
should be taught that the supreme au-
thority in this country is the law and
that the first duty of an American citi-
zen is obedience to that law, even though
IL may seem an unwise or Objectionable
law; the remedy in the latter case being
through constitutional methods to modi-
fy or change the law, but that in all
cases the first duty of American citizen
ship is obedience TO the law as written"

as in normal years. In only one re-
respect are conditions changed While
the wine drinkers are drinking as much
wine as usual, they are drinking cheap
err brands. The result is that the So
called "small wines" are growing scarce.
There is still fair amount of Bordeaux
on hand, but the cheaper Rhines and
Moselles are near exhaustion, and the
German red wines are practically all
gone. As a result, the prices of these
cheaper wines are just now beginning to
rise.
Of the better grade wines, however.
there is no lack and the prices have
not been raised. This is particularly
true of Bordeaux, of which, according
to competent authorities, Germany pos
sesses an adequate supply for at least
two years. There are also large sup
plies Of port on hand. Comparatively
little Italian wine is drank in Germany.
Its lack this year will be chiefly felt
in Austria and in certain districts of
Southern Germany, which ordinarily i'm
ported considerable quantities of Ital-
ian clarets for mixing with domestic
wines. In view, however, of the prom
ised big domestic yield, the want of
these imported wines will not be so Sc
riously felt as would be the case in an
average year

Artificial Preservatives Not
Necessary.

Fruits and vegetables can be kept in
definitely if they are sterilized by heat
and properly sealed, and there is no ex-
cuse, in the opinion of the experts of
the department, for running any risk
by using preserving powders, which may
be injurious TO health. The use of such
powders in addition TO the possible in
jury TO health encourages uncleanly or
careless work in canning. Reliance is
placed in the efficacy of the preserving
compound instead Of upon cleanliness
and heat
The department has issued bulletins
that give specific directions for the pre-
serving and canning Of fruits and vege-
tables without the use of preserving
powders or canning compounds. These
bulletins may be obtained without cost
from the department of agriculture. APP

Force Strike

1 Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. 24.--About 800
women and girls, 900 of them employed
in the George G.. Batcheller Co.'S. shops
and the remainder at the Crown Corset
factory, struck yesterday to enforce a
demand for readjustment of working
conditions similar to those now in force
at Warner Bros. another corset factory
| This includes besides the eight hour day
modification of certain charges and aboli-
| ton of the fine system. 1t had been
hoped by union leaders and officials of
the company to stave off the walkout
until to-day at any rate, pending con-
! ferences between the two sides. T.. L.
Russell of New York City, president Of
both companies, arrived yesterday and
was in conference with Mrs. Mary Scully
Of New York and other labor leaders.
Further conferences will be held, through
which, it is hoped, an amicable adjust
ment of the trouble may be made.
Various conferences which it was hoped
would smooth some of the labor troubles
here were arranged for yesterday. There
is to be conference between the strik
ers' committee and Waldo C. Bryant of
the Bryant Electric Co. The strikers
at the international Silver Co.'S. plant
did not return to work yesterday al
though the eight hour day and time and
a half pay for overtime, which had been
asked for, had been granted. The strik-
ers say that certain changes in shop con-
ditions which they desire have not been
made. The Metropolitan Automobile g.
Carriage Co. announced that beginning

ly prevailing. Meetings were also ar
ranged for between officials and employees
OF the Star Shirt Co. and the Siemon

The Wolverine Motor works. employ
ing about 40 men, has adopted the eight
hour schedule, with no reduction in
wages. The Electric Cable Co., employ
ing 300 men, which shut down on Friday
after its employees had made demand
upon it reopened yesterday and all men
returned, as they found that the com
pany had granted the eight hour day and
time and half pay for overtime.
There was no change at the Lake Tor

CANNING COMPOUNDS
DANGER TO HEALTH
Housewives Warned that Use of Pre-.
serving Powders Is Harmful
and Useless.

Information has come to the depart
ment that the canning season has
brought the usual demand on the part
of the housewives for salicylic acid and
boric acid These preparations are
sometimes sold in the form of powder
under various trade names and are rec
commended by the promoters for use in
preserving canned goods In home can
ming. In the directions for use the
housewife is told to fill the jar with the
| fruit or vegetables, cover with water,
and add a teaspoonful of the preserving
powder. While it is true that these COM
pounds may retard the decay of the
fruit or vegetable, it is pointed out by
the experts of the department that their
use may be attended by serious disturb
ances of health. Salicylic acid is well
known as a poisonous substance, and
one of the evils which may accompany
its use is arrangement of the digestion.
1t is therefore plain that its extensive
use in food may lead to disturbance
OF digestion and health.
The federal food and drugs act pro-
hibits the use of harmful preservatives
in foods that enter interstate commerce.
The food law of nearly every state in
the union forbids the sale within the
state of foods that have been preserved
with harmful substances. Neither the
federal or state food laws apply to foods
that are canned in the home and con-
summed there. 1t would seem, however,
that the housewife would not knowingly
use, in the foods she provides for her
family, substances that she could not use
in foods for sale without violating the
law, because these substances are in
iurious m health

BIG WINE YEAR.
Is Promised in Germany II Unfavorable
Conditions Do Not Develop.

Berlin, Aug. 2i.-Unless the late sum
ner and autumn bring some extraordi
narily unfayorable weather, the yea
1915 promises TO be remarkable for TIN
production OF German wines. Not fol
twenty years have the prospects along
the Rhine, Moselle. and Saar been Sc
glowing, and IL looks as ii the "l0l5er'
will come to dispute honors with tn,
famous 1888" the best vintage Ger
many has had in many a decade.
The 1911 vintage was much above
the average, but with this exception
the years since 1893 have been called
thin and acidulous. Wines OF the 1911
vintage are naturally scarce and dear
so it is high time in the interests of
both the wine growers and wine lovers,
that another banner vintage should come
along.
The long drouth this year in Germany
was particularly favorable for the vine
yardists. The dryness and high tenn
peratures not only furthered the devel-
opment of the grapes but also presented
conditions highly unfavorable to the de-
velopment of the various diseases and
insect enemies of the vine. The latter
circumstances were particularly fortu-
nate this year in view of the reduced
force of laborers available for the care
of the vineyards.
At this writing the crop is nearly
month further advanced than ordinarily
Hence, when the grapes become ripe and
the police officially close the vineyards,
even against thir owners, to prevent
gathering before the crop becomes "edel-
rief" LITERALLY, "noble-ripe,'') the berries
will have much longer frost-free period
than usual in which to develop those
qualities necessary for highs grade wines.
One result will be that the 1915 vintage
viii produce an unusually high percent
age of so-called mature wines" that is,
wines to which no sugar needs be add
cd.
Not only does the quality promise to
be the best since 1893, but the quanti-
ty will be equally satisfactory. For the
gathering of this bumper crop there are
available thousands of war
prisoners from the wine districts of
France, skilled help offering complete
substitute for the German laborers at
the front.
The war has caused much less disturb |
ince of conditions in the wine trade than
might have been expected. In the first |
lew weeks the consumption fell off great
y, but conditions rapidly improved and
many of the leading VINE dealers de-
,lare that they have as large business

AGE OF SMALL SCHOOLS.
Athletic Supremacy of the Big Insti

Athletic Supremacy of the Big Insti-
buttons Seems to Be Passing.
New York, Nov. 2.-The halcyon
days when the Big Three" in the
eastern collegiate world-Harvard,
Yale and Princeton-used to pick on
their smaller brethren during the
football season, seem fast slipping
away. The well known "woim' has
completed a somersault.
Hardly season passes now that
some little college with a handful of
students and a million dollars worth
Of grit and pep doesn't hand either
Yale, Harvard or Princeton a swift
kick in the Stats on the gridiron.
This year, eleven huskies from
down Virginia way turned the trick on
Yale Last year, little Washington
and Jefferson did it, the year before
that Colgate smothered the Blue. And
going still further back, it is found
that the Army, Brown and Lafayette
all have taken a whack at the Big
Ones in the last half dozen years.
This tends to revive that somewhat
moss-covered question of whether the
trend of the times isn't toward the
smaller schools. Athletically it seems
to be.
In schools such as Harvard, Prince
ton or Yale there are far more fell
lows of athletic ability in the student
body of four or five thousand than
there are places on the team. So the
budding young prep school athlete
with lot of ambition to make the
team" would rather go to the smaller
school where his chances are greater
