Of washerwomen reminds me of an
other habit which is exclusively, as

French. The women here always
wash clothes outside by the banks

never use hot water, nor boil the

teen or twenty women grouped to-
gether on the banks of some small
stream washing clothes together 1t
seems that they not only wash clothes
at a gathering like this, but argue
domestic matters and exchange gossip
as well. In fact, it is not unlike our

Next Years Number Plates

MONTPELIER, Aug. 21-Pursu-
ant to the change in the new laws
governing the size of number plates,
Secretary of State Harry A. Black
shortly after the Legislature was ad-
journed, ordered the plates for 1920.
These will be shorter than the old

inches, as provided by law, was used
while the height of the letters is lit
tie more than the law provided. The
color will be black and white. 1t is
expected the shipment will reach here

ceived notification that the order is
nearly completed. A sample has al
ready reached the office. These will
cost about $4,000 less than the number
plates ordered this year. 1t is, expect

DRASTIC BILL
TO- RESTRICT
IMMIGRATION
House Com. Frames Bill
Which Will Bar Out Japs
and Control Traffic

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-A new
method of dealing with the incoming
alien problem is embodied in a bill
being prepared by the House Immi-
grafton Committee. 1t is regarded as
the most drastic measure of the kind
ever presented to Congress.
Adoption of the bill would mean
its trainers say, literal fulfllment of
the so-called "gentlemen's agree
ment" between the United States
and Japan with respect to immigl;a-
ton and would keep out Japanese
coolies.
Under the oot-Tokihara agree
ment, Japan is obligated to send no
coolies to this country, but it charged
the records disclose that they arrive
by the thousands, with passports as
merchants, students, and the like.
Once here it is alleged, they remain,
send for picture Brides" raise fam
lilies and their children become citiz-
ems of the United States by right of
birth.
Representative Albert Johnson, of
Hoquiam, Wash, chairman of the
House immigration Committee, in
charge of the preparation of the bill
says the requirement that aliens land
ing at American ports must have
passports with time limit will
break up the great inflow of foreign
ers. The bill provides that aliens
coming within exemption clauses of
the present law must obtain pass
ports from their own governments,
vised by consular agents of the Unit
ed States, and limited as to time.
But the bill does not stop there.
Aliens, who under present laws are
eligible to citizenship, would be per-
mitted to come to the United States
without passports providing they
state in writing their belief that
they intend to reside here and be-
come citizens. They must agree to
register at least onct a year, failure
to do so being, cause for deporta-
ton. Failure to take out first papers
at the end of two years residence,
also is cause for deportation.
After taking out papers, aliens
must remain here five years for final
citizenship, with a time allowance off
for knowledge of the elements of the
American plan of government and
proficiency in the English language.
If an alien does not require citizen
ship in eight years he is sent home.

BIG SALE OF
BLOODED STOCK

The auction of the pure bred Jer-
sey herd at the Brondale Farm, East
Hardwick, Tuesday and Wednesday,
means the breaking up of one of the
finest herds of pure bred Jerseys in
New England. This herd has been
built up by many years of careful
breeding and it is a serious loss to
Caledonia county to have this herd
broken up.
Many fine animals are being sold
of which large number will go out
of the state. 1t seems too bad that
these beautiful animals should be
taken from their ancestral home and
distributed broadcast over the United
States, when there are so many
farmers in this immediate vicinity
who need just this sort of foundation
stock. The first days sale of these
pure bred animals netted nearly $780,
900.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-With
the designations of more than three
hundred permanent officers of the
regular navy already submitted to
the department and more arriving
daily, Acting Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt today began work on pro-
posed legislation suggesting a sub
stantial pay increase to enlisted men
and officers of the navy and marine
corps. High ranking officers believe
the efficiency of the navy is seriously
threatened by the situation. Most
of the designations are from younger
men who receive seventeen hundred
to three thousand dollars annually.
Most of them are capable of earning
much higher salaries in civilian life.
