OPEN MEETING OF
HISTORICAL CLUB
Guests Enjoyed Fine Musical Pro.
gram and Interesting Address by
Prof. w. G.. Beach

The annual open meeting of the
Historical club was held Saturday
evening at VanDoren hall. Mrs. A.
A. Rounds, president of the club,
presided. a short musical program
was rendered, including two songs
by Miss Zella Melcher, a trio, violin,
piano and cello, by Miss Dorothy Nc
Masters, Miss Mary Sanders and Gil
bert Robinson, and two songs by
Miss Valley Bigby.
The address was delivered by Dean
w. G.. Beach, who took for his sub
ject Some Phases Of the Immigra-
ton Problem
Dean Beach discussed the move
ment to the United States Of foreign
ers from different countries during
different periods. The first great in
fluX of foreign born, he said, consist
ed to a great extent of farmers, who
sought farm lands and came to take
advantage of the opportunity of max
ing a good living from our fertile
soil. During the second immigration
period, the vast majority of foreign
ers who came to this country were
wage earners, who settled in the
cities to avail themselves of the in
dustrial opportunities. This class of
immigrants was so great he said,
that at the present time three
fOurths of our Industries are manned
by foreign-born people. The vast
majority of these immigrants live in
colonies and do not assimilate, one
of the great problems of the govern
ment at the present time being to as
simulate them.
While the foreign-born people pre-
sent a great problem, said Dean
Beach, as a matter of fact they have
contributed very materially to the
progress of the United States and
are the classes from whom the
poets, writer's and philosophers OF
ancient and even modern times. to a
lesser extent, have come. The idea
that these people are degraded sim
ply because they are poor" he said,
lis erroneous, and should be cor
rected"
Dean Beach called attention to the
fact that in Chicago there are repre-
sentatiyes of 26 different nationali-
ties, and predicted that after the
present war there will be tremen-
dous influx of foreigners.
The address was as interesting as
it was instructive and held the close
attention of all present.
Following the program coffee and
Hoozerized cakes were served and a
very pleasant hour was spent in So
cial converse.

HONOR
3O-YEAR MEMBER
II. Lanning, Charter Member of
Evening Star Lodge, Granted Life
Membership by Fellow
LOdgemen

A life membership in Evening Star
lodge, No. 26, Knights of Pythias,
the first ever granted by that organi-
| cation, was presented last Monday
evening to r. Lanning, charter
member of the lodge, who leaves
| Pullman in the near future, after
! having given freely of his time and
talent in the interests of Pythianism
during the entire 80 years of the life
of the local lodge. In respect to the
man who has eXemplified the word
and the spirit OF the great fraternal
order which is founded on friend
ship, charity and beneyolence, during
his entire connection with the order,
a farewell reception in honor of Mr..
and Mrs. Lanning was given in the
Pythian hall Monday evening.
The life membership, hand scrolled
and beautifully framed, was present
ed to Mr.. Lanning by Judge Thomas
NELL, who voiced not only the feeling
of the lodge membership but of every
citizen Of Pullman in his glowing
tribute to the aged Civil war veteran
who has won his way into the hearts
the community during his long resi-
denCe here. Mr.. Lanning became a
mem Der of Evening Star lodge upon
its institution on May 6, 1888. He
was elected master-at-arms at the
first meeting Of the lodge and served
the organization faithfully and eff
ficiently in every official capacity
Later he was elected a trustee, in
which capacity he has served con
tinuously for many years, his work
being largely responsible for the re-
markable growth of the lodge in
numbers and its present solid finan-
cial condition.
Mr.. Lanning responded to the pre-
sentation remarks, thanking the
lodge for its consideration and ex-
pressing keen regret at being obliged
to leave the castle hall which has
meant so much to him during the
past 80 years.
A large number of members of the
lodge and their ladies attended the
farewell reception. Music for the
occasion was furnished by the Ha-
Waiian orchestra. with several num-
bers by the lodge trio, Messrs. Metz,
Thorpe and TIiX, and piano solos by
Lynn McKnstry.
A feature Of the evening was an
interesting talk on local Red Cross
work by Mrs. f. w. Thorpe, chair
man Of the Pullman branch. Mrs.
Thorpe took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to express her deep thanks
and appreciation to the lodge for the
magnificent check turned over to the
Red Cross as a result of the recent
"Forty-nine' carnival, which Melted
over 500. She told of the great
humanitarian work that is being
done by the ladies of Pullman and
displayed a number of the articles
that are now being called for in
great quantities.
Refreshments consisting of ice
cream, cake and cocoa were served

COMMITTEE Is THANKFUL
TO LOYAL CTTIZENS

The committee in charge of the
Third Liberty Loan drive in Pullman
and vicinity desire to express their
sincere thanks to the patriotic peo-
pie who have responded so promptly
and Cheerfully in subscribing for Lib
erty Bonds. Their patriotic action has
enabled Pullman to go over the top
and raise its full quota of the loan,
without sending out any soliciting
committees. The full list of those
who subscribed during honor week
and are entitled to a place on the
roll of honor will be published. The
committee urges all to refrain from
any criticism of people, unless they
know all the facts. Some persons
did more than their share in sub
scribing for bonds of the first and
second loans, others have put all or
part of their funds in war saving
stamps. The committee will prepare
list Of those who have shown them
selves to be financial slackers and all
whose names appear on the roll of
honor are considered to have done
their full duty.

WARNING TO PERSONS PUTTING
OFF FILING INCOME RETURNS

In sounding final warning to the
thousands of persons who are putting
off until the eleventh hour the filing
of their income tax returns, the col
lector of internal revenue states that
these taxpayers are not only making
it inconvenient for themselves, but
are actually working a serious hard
ship on the Government at this eriti-
cal time.
There are comparatively few busi-
ness days between now and Monday.
April l, the last day allowed by law
for reporting Federal income liabil-
ity," said the collector. "I regret to
say that there are close to 100000 in
dividuals in the first California dis
trict, which includes Nevada, affected
by the new income tax law who have
thus far failed to respond to its re-
quirements."

ish character that assures fine enter
tainment. That Miss Hall will be

assurance in advance that large and
immensely pleased audience will
mark the arrival of "Bluebird day."
In ''The Charmer" Miss Hall will play
the part of little girl whose faith
in fairies permits her to accomplish
some wondrous results-although it is
not fairy story by any means. Grip
ping entertainment, a photoplay re-
plete with stirring scenes and
crowned with the happiest of endings,

In addition there will be presented
