The naturalization laws are very strict for
the forelgn-born man. In order to become a
citizen he has to make five tests: He must
speak English, he must be of good character.
he must have lived here five years, he must
prove that he is "attached to the principles of
the Constitution" and he must take the oath
of allegiance to the United States.
But what about his wife? Bless you her
citizenship was mushroom growth. She didn't
have to answer all sorts of tiresome questions,
not she! She just simply woke up one morning
and found herself citizen (that is, provided
that she had lived in New York State for five
years.. All this refers to the married women.
Single foreign born women must apply for cit-
zenship in their own right, but they have to 20
through the form of naturalization like that
of the men.
Think of it, these immigrant women who
have automatically become citizens can now
vote upon candidates and measures of which
they haven't the slightest knowledge or under
standing, but which are Of very vital impor-
tance to the American people. Of course this
will all be changed when the august body at
Albany gets around to it, but meanwhile the
work of enlightenment and education must go
on, and that with all speed for, remember No
vember is only six months off!

PEOPLE KICKED ONE DAY
AND CHEERED THE NEXT

Washington, Dec 9.-There was q
pretty noisy time about political cir
cles in Washington in the few days
just previous to the departure Of the
president, and the sounds about the
Tower of Babel were perhaps no less
confusing than the clatter of protest
that arose in the capital when the
president gave out the names of the
peace party, with his own name at the
head, and only blank spots where the
surnames Of senators and big chiefs
In the republican party might have
been reasonably expected.
Then came another day when the
promised masterpiece" of Mr.. viii
son, in his address to congress failed
to please, and the newspaper reports
that on former occasions recorded
that "all arose except Senator LaFol-
1ette and cheeTed the ringing words
of the president" now related how

MISSISSIPPI RIVER
TRAFFIC SITUATION
Government Approves Building
Of Forty Steel Barges.

St Louis, Mo-. Nov. 1s.--Traffic On
the lower Mississippi m assured Tor the
future in the opinion Of James r
Smith. president Of the Mississippi
Valley Waterways association. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Smith. who has re-
turned from washington. the war In
dustries board has approved the build
ing OF forty new steel barges and six
to supplant the inadequate
now In use, half Of which
must be released to the United States
river maintenance fleet next summer.
Mr.. Smith went to Washington
when he learned from M. j. Sanders.
river director. that no progress was
being made toward supplying the
threatening the future OF the river
plans. Mr.. Smith said that Director
General McAdoo told him that the
steel could not be spared. He insist
ed that river traffic development was
az essential as the building OF ocean
going vessels since it would relieve
railway congestion and permit mid
western products to reach the sea. The
logic Of this was admitted by Mr.. Nc
Adoo, who insisted however, that TO-
900 tons of steel could not be spared.
II then told him." said Mr.. Smith,
that the barges could be made OF a
kind of steel not suited for use In
shipmaking or locomotive building;
that we could use metal of low tensile
strength. and this would actually be
better for the barges as 1t could be
worked easier. Mr.. McAdoo then said
that il could convince him Of this
we might have the steel. That ac-
ccmplished, had to convince at least
fifteen other officials in the war indus
tries board that 1t was feasible to use
cheaper steel and that but 10 ,008 tons
would be necessary. l had arranged
with ST. Louis steel mill to equip
its plant for making the plates.
THE first boat must be delivered In
sixty days. All c%them must be COM
p4eted within twelve months. Tho
