immigration Promises to
Set New Record-SmaIIest
Since the Colonial Days

When the present fiscal year ends,
June 80, it - highly probable that q
new immigration record will be set
the smallest since colonial days, says
the Washington Herald.
Immigration statistics Of the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January !,
1918, only 57,715 came to America, and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled to a few thousands.
' The war, Of course, is responsible.
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number of
immigrants. That is Japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to Amesica. Japanese
this year Will reach 1900
as against 1925 in 1917, Sill In 1916
and 5000 in 1915: During the first
half of this fiscal year COOS Japanese
arrived and they've been coming over
at the rate of more than thousand
a month. H..
Italy, which before the war sent
over seven times as many Immigrants
as Japan then did, this year will send
less than a third as many.
Mexico, which sent 16,438 immi-
grants in 1917, will send less than
three thousand this year.

Magazine Writer'S Closeup
of Our General Pershing, as
a Man and American Soldier.

What of General Pershing, who may
one day have as great an army as any?
The question Is asked as often in Eu-
rope as in America. It is not, think,
known in America how deep first i'm

der have made ON the British and, in
deed, the French, writes w. Beach
Thomas in Harper's Magazine.
When he landed in England in June,
1916, one of the British newspapers,
whose correspondent had been for a
long while in his presence, compared
him with Moltke, who was silent in
seventeen languages" What General
Pershing, the master Of several Philip
pine dialects, said was little and good.
When General Joffre shook his hand in
Paris O few weeks later-a scene wor-
thy of q great historical memorabilia

shing will think first and act after
wards" At all junctures the general
has been cool and prompt and deter
mined. His colonel in Cuba wrote Of
him, "He is the bravest and coolest
man under fire I ever saw in my life. :"
His own recorded maxims are few &; but

importance of a Tan Coat
Depends on How Acquired.

Tan Is the result of the action Of
chemical rays or Of the ultraviolet
rays Of the solar light on the pigment
Of the skin. It proves nothing, says
an authority, but that the skin has
been exposed to Photographic rays Of
one kind or another. The skin Is also
tanned by exposure to the rays Of a
mercury lamp. but such tan has moth
ing to do with health.
Tan Is important and of meaning
according to the circumstances under
which 1t Is acquired. Acquired at sen
or by the sea as a result of life and
exercise In the open air, 1t is sign Of
health, because 1t accompanies general
effects which are lacking in the condi-
tons of electric tan.
Electric tan is accompanied by no
multiplication of red corpuscles in the
blood, such as exercise produces, in
surins a renewal of physical strength.

Ants in the Kitchen.

In regard to the question as to how
to get rid of small ants In a kitchen,
the Indiana state entomologist says ::
zone Of the best remedies is to make
a strip Of four ounces Of sugar to one
half pint of water, and after this strip
has boiled add one ounce of sodium
iuoride. Moisten a sponge with this
and put It In a can that has some
holes punched In It; then place this
where the ants are most numerous.
The idea Il to get the ants feeding on
this and In that way carry some back
to their nest. If they stop feeding,
move the can back a short distance
and they will again start eating. The
can should be kept moist with this
strip and the ants will soon disap-
pear" sa.--~. -.F

Underground Railroad and
Useless Caucus Room, Two
Extravagances at Capitol.

!, One of the curiosities of the capitol
Is the miniature railroad that connects
the senate, via underground passage,
with the senate Office building, relates
Washington correspondent. The cars
of this railroad operate on a monorail
by electricity.
. The road is about $50 yards in length
and has double track. When one
car is at one end Of the track the other
car is at the other end, and vice versa.
The railroad was intended originally'to
aid senators in making speed from
their Offices to the senate chamber. Roll
calls do not require much time in the
senate and there is danger that If
roll call is asked when a senator is in
his Office he will miss the roll call I'M
less he uses the electric car. That
saves him about ten or fifteen seconds
time. y ~. d. Is, -.
The road is open to the public and
1t costs nothing to ride. AS a conse-
quence messenger boys, clerks and
janitors use the railroad freely, while
senators, except on days when the
weather is inclement, prefer to walk in
the open air between their Offices and
the senate chamber.
Besides the initial equipment, the
road entails an expense of about $50
weekly for the employ Of two opera
tors and probably half that amount for
electricity. This would make a yearly
expense of $1,000 as a very conserva-
tive estimate. AS matter of fact the
railroad probably costs more like $4,000
or $1,000 a year.
The senate has another extravaganza
that is almost an eyesore. This is the
palatial caucus room that cost no one
knows how many thousands Of dollars
when the senate Office building was
constructed. The room is finished
throughout in marble and has immense
crystal chandeliers. It has the largest
seating capacity of any room in the
capitol except the hall Of the house
and the senate chamber.
Yet the acoustic properties of the
room are so bad that it is never used,
and it stands there as an expensive
monument to some ones mistake in
planning the senate Office building. OF
course a person would ordinarily pay
no attention to such a thing as bad
acoustic properties, but in this room 1T
cannot help but be noticed.

Find Markets for
Canned Goods \
.
By de y. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Housewives and members Of can
ming clubs are urged to study their
market at the beginning of the season
and pack according to the local de-
mands for different products. They
are advised by the bureau of markets
Of the department to secure orders for
canned goods before putting them up.
Small lots Of nonstandardized prod
ucts are difficult to sell except among
local buyers and are not purchased by
the army, navy, commercial dealers
or any department of the government.
Many appeals to the department OF
agriculture to find market for home
canned goods have been made during
the past year and often the Gamers
believed that the government was In
the market for such goods. Subject
to whatever regulations may be made
by the federal government, the mar
keting Of food products will proceed
in the usual manner and the bureau OF
markets points out that proper grad
ing, standardizing and careful prepa-
ration for market are especially nee
essary in handling canned goods, jams,
jellies and preserves. s.
Home-canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
home table. 1t is good policy. say the
specialists, for the housewife to pro-
vide a reasonable surplus beyond the
probable home consumption for the
next crop year. e.
While the bureau Of markets Is CIV
ing aid to producers on marketing
problems It says that 1t Is dimcult to
place producers of small quantities Of
different kinds Of products In touch
with buyers and urges home and club
Gamers to learn the marketing end OF
their business Just the same 3s pro-
ducers in other lines of industry.
