ALL AVAILABLE LAND GONE.

Commissioner of immigration Howe
Predicts That United States Will Be-
come an Emisrant Rather Than an
Immigrant Nation at the End of Hos
tillties In Europe.
New York. A prediction that the
United States would become an "emi-
grant" rather than an Immigrant" ma
ton at the close Of the war was made
by Commissioner Of immigration Fred
eric G. Howe at the Sunday evening
forum Of the Free synagogue
Mr.. Howe took the stand that immi-
grafton was purely an economic ques-
ton and declared that 1t had been
such from the beginning. He said that
those who opposed immigration did so
because they desired to limit the COM
petition Of unskilled foreign labor;
those who favored the wide open door
did so because it made labor cheap.
He said the immigrant no longer
went to the farm because all the avail
able land of the country had been tax
en- up, hundreds of millions Of acres
being held for purely speculative pur-
poses.
''The immigration problem never ex-
listed so long as the land was free for
the asking" said Mr.. Howe, land 1t Is
this scarceness Of land which makes
immigration an economic question.
at IS a matter Of freeing labor on
one hand from the competition of the
incoming labor groups from Europe
and of insuring to the immigrant an
opportunity to work for himself rather
than for an employer interested In Sc
curing his services at the lowest pos
sible cost.

Mr.. Howe also discussed the servant
question. He said that since the war
there had been practically no servant
girls coming to this country and that
many OF those who were I'm service had

offices. while others had married or

TEACHING INDIANS IS
THIS W0MAN'S HOBBY
Mrs. MoIineux Declares Red Man Can
Be Led, but Will Not Be Driven.

Salt Lake City.-To have mothered
one or possibly two tiny lives through
the strenuous days of early infancy is
q task that most women consider plen-
ty, but Mrs. Elizabeth Molineux, until
recently teacher in the United States
Indian service, has the distinction Of
having mothered whole tribe Of Pluto
Indians, and claims the satisfaction Of
having raised them, old and young,
from a condition bordering on the
squalid state where they consider
cleanliness next to goodness and, one
and all, are heartily In favor of both.
Mrs. MolineuX recently resigned her
ervation In southern Utah and is In
Salt Lake resting preparatory to going
to Ketchikan, Alaska, to take charge
of the Episcopal church's mission
school there. She is a guest at the
home of the Right Rev. Paul Jones,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese Of
Utah, while here.
Indians have become a hobby with
this diminutive little Scotchwoman.
She speaks their languages and In her
eight years of service with the Indian
department has been intimately asso-
ciated with the trials and tribulations
that beset poor Lo on his native heath.
Mrs. MolineuX is an ardent church
woman and attributes her success in
dealing with Indians to the fact that
by blending religious teachings with
the three RS" she has dismissed dis
trust Of her from the minds Of her
charges and has always been regarded
by them more in the light of friend
than a teacher. She. declared the In
dian mind to be susceptible to teaching

Sometimes pupils wonder why they
do not get along faster in their mu-
steal studies-why they do not accom-
plish more.
The following article may throw
some light on the subject.
WHY DO NOT GET ALONG
FAsTER7
BY Charles w. landon.
1t is not unusual to come across a
pupil who has practiced regularly
with the best of intentions but who
fails utterly to get good results from
the work. This is due largely to lazy
practice. My mother once said to me
when | was boy. Charles. do you
know that lazy folks always have the
most work."
Lazy practice is a common curse
with many pupils. Lazy practice
means practice with the mind half
awake and the badly moving careless
ly in response to the mind. The pupil
who is wide awake every second of
the time, who is fired with the zeal to
make every movement of every nerve
and muscle count, is the one who in
variably succeeds in the end. Here
are some tests which may help the
reader to find out whether his practice
is real practice or lazy practice.
Do you find your practice hour
grow duller as the moments fly by.
or does the work become more and
more interesting SO that you hate to
give 1t up like an interesting play or
IA good book?
Do you blunder over notes on the
Ileger lines without sitting down and
learning them thoroughly once and
for all as you learned the staff in the
first place?
Do you make bluff" at playing
a chord decorated with bewildering
chromatic signs or do you fix in your
mind what the chromatic signs really
are?
/ Do you ignore the dots after the
notes, failing to realize that the dot
calls for even more careful attention
than does the note itself?
/ Do you prepare" the position oil
the thumb in playing runs or do you
let it go hopping and twisting its way
over the keyboard?
! Do you make foot rest of the
pedal, instead of employing 1t prop
erly to color each changing harmony
Do you pound away with stiff
arm and wrist never paying any at
tention to the harmonies?
Do you listen to the "Piano Slam
bangor" at the picture show and pra!
devoutly that you may not fall init
the evils of his ways?
Do you make mistakes and thel
permit yourself to play the piece owe
and over again without remedying tn
mistake?
Do you form an idea in advance o
how the passage should go or do yol
just lump in" a piece and flounde
around with the hope that It may al
come out right some day?
Do you strive to read Chopin's in
ner thought in a nocturne as 20,
would strive to read Tennyson's in
poem?
Do you find real Joy in your prac
tice? Remember George Sand said
"Work is not mans punishment, 1t 4
his reward and his strength, his glor,
land his pleasure"

The Alimentary Canal.

A Frenchman who has made an ex-
animation of the food canal in mann
mails has measured the length of it in
280 specimens that belong to thirty
species. He has found that the ratio
between the length of the canal and
the length of the body is smallest in
the ~carnivorous animals, larger in those
that are called omnivorous and largest
in the vegetarians. In other words.
the length of the food tract seems to
vary with the digestibility of the kinds
of food that are consumed. The rule
holds true in birds as wei as in ami
mails. In man the alimentary canal
is about thirty feet long, usually from
FIVE to six times the length of the body
