CbA uGlIS -Os IJl ( MT. W. A. Knox,
 Principal of the Pubic school,

 Dear Sir:
 The Bureau desires to bring to your attention, for consideration, the matter of the establishment of a public ev- ening school where adult foreigners who are candidates for naturalization may receive training fn English and civics. In 1910 there were ASA for eign born whites in your city If these are familiar with our language, they may yet need instruction concerning our institutions and government. The Bureau incloses a memorandum show ing the nature and extent of the aid available to the public school author ities from the Department of Labor, thru this Bureau, in the education of these people, and another memoranda um showing why schools should be started. Please peruse the inclosures, and advise the Bureau when conven- tent of the probabilities Of opening such school. Ii nothing can be done this year, it is urged that you consider the matter for next year The best time to start is during the dull season when the men have come to town and are not able to work at taeir respect i've occupations.
 Very truly yours,
 Commissioner of Naturalization.

 Your letter a few days ago and con tents noted.

 In all there will be only about el- even votes cast here unless they come in from North Arm, but you may look for the majority in favour of our man. You did not give me much foundation to work on, tell me who he was, or where he lives, etc. I have told more lies to these fellows that rny chances of ever seeing the Pearly Gates ia mighty slim. But it is all in the life of live politician. I expect check from the Old Man any day and will send in my campaign expenses to you We haven't been paid so far this win ter.
 With best wishes to Mrs. Sharpe and family, and success to our friend 1ssac,

The government is sometimes
asked. Why does not the United

British or French high-powered ma
chimes and manufacture them?'
British and French machines. as a
rule, are not adapted to American
manufacturing methods. They are
highly specialized machines. requir-
ms much handwork from mechanics
who are in fact artisans. 1t would
require year or more to teach
American manufacturers and their
mechanics TO turn out such highly
specialized airplanes.
With the completion of final tests
OF the motor-tests which satisfied
and gratified both expert engineers
and army officers-progress already
has been made toward organizing in

new machines, and deliveries will
begin within a comparatively short

was the aid rendered by consulting
engineers and motor manufacturers,
who gave up their trade secrets under
the emergency of war needs.
realizing that the new design would
be a governm ent design and no firm
or individual would reap selfish
oenetit because of it's making, the
motor manufacturers, nevertheless,
periodically revealed their trade Sc
erets and made available trade pro-
cesses of great commercial value.
lhese Industries have also contrib
uted the services of approximately
zoe of their best craftsmen.
