New York, November 17.-Predict-
ing more changes in the population
of this city, as well as of the whole
country, than have been experienced
here ever before in history, emigra-
tion experts today declared that
within the next few years a ire
mendous tide of emigration was sure
to set in, from these shores back t.
! the land of their. nativity, by hun
dreds. "a, of |, thousands, of Italians
French and other most, desirable o.
our immigrant classes. On top of la /
Dor uncertainties and other post
conditions, the. Institution of prohi

reason for leaving this land adyanc !

and laborers of continental patron
age While New Workers feel that
thohsands, of the holsheyiki brand of

ne1Theo Recusrents Rpmor.
That Herbert Hoover is to be
siezed upon 3as a candidate for the
presidency ahg both the republican
and democratic parties. is still a re-
current ruInor shere. that has come
to be considered less nwild as it Is
repeated again Fandoz again. Though
leaders of both parties scout the sug !
gcstion, the obvious advantages for
fighting all lawless elements by the
regular parties combining on com
mon candidate are admitted by the
most astute political sages. Where
1ust this practice has been followed
in congr essionals and legislative cam
paigns, it is getting to be not so very
hard to consider 1t on a presidential
proposition. 1ss6p
Those Camionette Crusaders.
Invading the darkest corners of the
coal and steel fields with their cam
era courses to teach true American,
ism, speakers and filmers from the
National Catholic War, Council are
now boarding the bolsheviki in their
darkest denss according to recent re-
ports to headquarters here. While
their reconstruction program has
been endorsed by the, labor leaders.
these eamionette crusaders for an
honest understanding of the nations
ideals do not propose to allow the
red rioters to warp the ideas OF. the
most foreign and ignorant workers
in these trying times. Before many
more months of this national civic
educational campaigns are over 1t is
promised that the story of what
America really means Twill be con-
yeyed to thousands of the people up
on whom the riotous element seek
to prey with untrue doctrines.
The Construction Costs.
Counting the costs of building any
sort of structure has much more
than doubled since pre-war days,
the boss builders of this town de-
clared today that many of the pros
pective jobs were figured at over
hundred and thirty per cent increase
over the price for exactly the same
eonstructio9 four years ago. Though
labor costs have risen greatly, the
contractors 4 find that the price OF
materials have gone up tremendously.
Since q, large part of the population
of offices and apartments here will
soon be- unhoused unless new con-
structionIi is vigorously pushed in the
near future, everyone is hoping that
these almost prohibitive costs will at
least begin to be lowered.
The Rural Roadhouses.
Passing up the old roadhouses that
used to be overrun with Sunday and
holiday automobile trade, the motor
lists OF this town are just beginning
to flock TO scores of farm houses
along the suburban stretches where
sweet cider is sold straight from the
spiggot Since hundreds of cars are
seen parked in the front yards of
these farm houses, it seems certain
that this sort of farming pays huge
profits to the new barnyard bonifaces.
If the same lcider could be bought
few years older, it is believed that
the roads would be blocked about its
storehouses.
