LET FRESH AIR HELP
LICK THE GERMANS

Fresh air is needed if one is to keep
in the best health. Especially is it
needed in the sleeping room. No one
can stop breathing; it has to go on all
the time, showing that the lungs must
have continuous supply of air and
fresh air is what the lungs need and
not foul air. If one should try to
keep up fire by feeding the air from
the chimney back into the fire he
would soon see the fire fail. The fire
takes out of the air just the same sub
stance that the lungs take out Of the
air and puts into the exhausted air
the same things that the lungs do,
When blacksmith wants to make the
fire burn faster he pumps in air and
when a person works hard he has to
breathe faster and the body becomes
warmer. Just as the blacksmith feeds
fresh air into his fire so should we
provide fresh air for the lungs if we
want to keep the lungs and the rest
of the body in good health and in con-
dition for doing good work.

European war-onIy 298,826 immi-
grants came to our shores, as against
1,218,48O for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914-the year before the
outbreak Of war. In the first year Of
the war, the fiscal year 1915, 326,700
immigrants came.
There were thus 27,874 fewer i'm
migrants during the second year of
the war than during the first.
For the past six months the stream
Of immigration has been increasing
again, and for the period July l, to
December 81, 1916, 193,8O3 immi-
grants entered the United States. If
this rate is maintained for the pres
ent siX-months period, the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1917, will see a total
Of $4,000 immigrants, an increase
over both the previous war years.
THE largest part of our immigra-
ton from the nations at war in the
past six months, said Commissioner
Uhl, has been coming from Italy.
Next to Italy, comes the United King

A fiat is a place with no room for
expansion, intellectual or chest.
It requires thin furniture and
narrow wife. The rooms are so small
you have to walk sideways when you
wear your winter clothing. And it's

Theft Bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. MT. Lowe was accompanied by Robert c. Jewe, of Los Angeles who is the owner of . Super-Six purC hased here in NoVen- Der and stolen on the coast few months later. Alfred Jaynes, con Victed of bootlesgirg in Phoenix a few days ago, is alleged to have stolen the Hudson which he used as a moving bar room.
 It is said that Harry Heinz heard of his friends trouble on the coast and hastily took Buick that did not be- long to him and started across coun- try. He was apprehended by Deputy Sheriff Harry De Winton and placed behind the bars where he was cordial ly greeted by Jaynes.
 According to Lowe the men belong to gang operating between Caiifor- , nia and Arizona. The average thefts in Los Angeles. he says, are one a day.
