The Word sMixpah." !"

The Word "Mixpah."
The word "Mizpah" is the name Of
several places in Palestine. The one
with which its connection is best
known, however, is the heap Of stones
and the pillar set up by Jacob and his
brethren as witness Of the covenant
between Jacob and Laban. The heap
of stones were a boundary and also
an altar. The use Of the word ''Miz
pah' as an inscription for memorial
rings is based on words occurring in
connection with the setting up Of the
stones by Jacob and his brethren.

ROOSEVELT TO ADDRESS AMER
ICANIzATION MEETING.

Philadelphia, Pa, January 19.-The
assimilation of aliens within the bor-
ders of the United States into full cit
izenship and realization of their du-
ties and responsibilities is the great
est step for internal preparedness for
national defense, according to the
publicists who are gathered here for
the National Conference on Immigra-
tion and Americanization The speak
ers are led by Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, who will be the climax of the
two-day session, speaking to the full
delegation at a big public meeting to-
morrow night
The convention opened this morn
ing with an art exhibition showing
the contributions of foreign races to
American art dinner will be given
to the civic workers today by Mrs. E.
T. Stotesberry of this city, who is
vice chairman of the committee. To-
morrow the delegates will discuss the
means and measures which should be
taken to Americanize the great for
eign mass of our population and iden-
tify it with the native born. Govern
ment officials, governors, heads of
great industries and colleges, philan-
thropists and patriotic citizens will be
heard. Colonel Roosevelt will sound
the final note in his usual vigorous
language, pointing out the pressing
need of social and economic prepar-
edness to meet any unusual conditions
OF the unsettled times.
While Congress is in the midst Of
discussion as to military and naval
defense measures, Colonel Roosevelt
will point out that ships and armies
unsupported by internal prepared
ness will avail little. The Colonel
conceives of internal preparedness as
the promotion of internal unity by in
sistence on the same ideal OF Ameri-
can citizenship, the same language.
the same American standards of living
everywhere throughout the country;
the naturalization of industry or the
adoption of national point of view for
business, whether for peace or war;
railway preparedness, both as a prac-
teal defense measure and a perma-
nent business philosophy; industrial
organization, with reference not only
to war industries, but also to all 9th
ers; the actual liberalization of all
public functions such as health de-
partments. etc, for emergency; and
above all, a national point of view on
the part of the average American cit
izen.
