to phrase the language so as to cx-
clude all aliens gin any way excluded
or prevented from entering the United
States"
Applies to Whole World.
1T applies to all the world" he said.
1T does not in my judgment touch the
treaty of 1911 (the treaty with Japan
which is modified by the so-called
gentlemen's agreement) at ALL They
desired that we not make allusion to
the gentlemen's agreement and we've
made none. We have cast no ref1ec-
ination. The gentlemen's agreement
will go right on ii Japan chooses to
uphold it."
The literacy test provided for in the
bill excludes from the United States
all aliens over IS years of age, physi-
cally capable of reading who cannot
read the English language or some
Others language or dialect, including
Hebrew or Yiddish. Any admissible
alien, however, or any citizen of the
United States may bring in or send

years of age his wife, mother, grand
mother, or unmarried or widowed
daughter If otherwise admissible, re-

ton, Representative Gardner of Mass

 lords. the days are all that could be asked for and the nights are so con- ducive to a stroll in the open that no wonder the State Fair Carnival at night Is the scene of the vast throngs bent on seeing the best that the outdoor amusement world has to offer.
 When visiting the Carnival one is surprised at the magnitude of the Wortham Bros. Shows. whom the fair furnish all amusements for the fair week. The old time fake shows and freaks are noticeably absent and in their places are real live curiosities that are both educational and interesting. for instance, Donald McGregOr, known as the worlds greatest giant, chal- lenginging all men for perfect physical development McGregor actually stands feet 2& inches in his stock ing feet. his body is perfectly in ac- cordance with his great height. His daughter, Baby Alma, weighing in the neighborhood of 300 pounds at the age of sixteen, is another guaranteed curi- osity. then there is May Joe, healthy child of twelve years of age with three separate and distinct legs, fifteen toes 1 and one body, this living curiosity has been the subject of much discussion in the medical world.

 IN CONTRAST.

Whether or not it was pre-arranged, it YVES, nevertheless, enc Of the most effective sights at the fair, according to those who visited the educational building yesterday.
 At the entrance of the building sat a Hepi Indian weaving a monster bas- ket. Seranna was, after the manner of the Indian of the reseryat tion, cor setless. She wore a makeshift waist, full gathered skirt and about her shoulders was a huge bandana. Her hair hung loosely
 At the exit of the building sat Mrs. Julia Roberts the wife of prosperous Pima rancher, who was engaged in lace making She wore a shirtwaist suit and her hair was neatly arranged on the top of her head. She said she was making torchon lace and compared the faces of Switzerland and Italy, re- marking how little time American women gave to lace making, except, of course, crocheting.
 In its art the Apache basket was as handsome ss any exhibit at the fair, and It's maker unquestionably took pride in 1t. She. however, belongs to the Indians of yesterday who must be few in number. judging from the work displayed by the boys and girls rep resentlng every tribe in the state. She sat stolidly at her task and what she thought or felt not one of the sight seers in tho building knew.
 Mrs. Roberts manner was in marked contrast. Educated at the Sherman Institute she Is great advocate of education for the Indian. She is keenly alive to all that is happening in the world today and her ambition is to give her own little daughter the ad- vantages she has enjoyed and many more.

 Almost amusing was the number of persons found whe thought that the regulation would be observed if they turned to graham bread net knowing, apparently, that graham Is simply a coarses form of wheat product. Gen erally the restaurants made a speciality for the day of corn mullins, corn bread and rye bread, and the public seemed well content, even expressing pleasure over the change from the accepted routine of years.
