WAR VETERANS IN
 FAIRBANKS PICTURE

Though Douglas Fairbanks picture, "His Majesty, the American" which will be shown at Lang's Theatre Mo- vember IT, is as peaceful film as the lively Douglas can make, he was ma terially assisted in making it by a lot of Uncle Sam's fighters.
 The director of the picture is cor poral Joseph Henabery, this being his first motion picture work since his return from the Army.
 The camera staff is under the su- pervision of Lieut.. Victor Fleming, late of the United States Signal Cops and who incidentally went to France with President Wilson on board of the steamship George Washington" on the Presidents first trip over, in charge of the Governments photog- raphers.
 Billy Shay, who assisted in the editing of the film, received military decorations in France and as though this were not enough military aid fer Douglas, three hundred returned sol- diers were given work in the con struction of the French village which is used in the picture and wnicl cost something in the neighborhood of $40, ,000.00 to build.

Deferential

At cricket match played in the park of a well-known baronet it was found necessary to secure the services of one of the footmen as umpire. In due course the baronet went in. He stopped the second ball with his leg, and the cry of "How's that?" was raised.
 It was the footman on whom the de- cision rested, and, turning to his mas ter, he said, in half apologetic tone:
 "I'm afraid I must say Not at 'ome,' Sir John."
 "Not at home?" retorted the baro- net; "what do you mean?"
 "Well, then, Sir John," replied the footman, "if you will lave it, I mean that you're hout!-London t-Bits.

Couldn't Fool this Kid

Johnny paid his first visit to farm the other day. All his life he had liv- ed in the heart of great city, and when he suddenly came in sight ot a haystack, he stopped and gazed ear nestly at what appeared to him as a new brand of architecture.
 Say, MT. Smith," he remarked to the farmer, pointing to the haystack, "why don't they have doors and win dows in it?"
 Doors and windowsw smiled the farmer. "That ain't a house, Johnny, that's hay"
 Don't try to josh me, MT. Smith!" was the scornful rejoinder. Don't you suppose I know that hay don't grow in humps like that? ?"-Minne- apolis Tribune.

REPORT SHOWING MANY
 MEX|CANS COMING TO US.

Nearly twice as many Mexicans came to the United States during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, as in any previous year since 1900, ac- cording to figures received here from the immigration office in Washing ton.
 The number of Mexicans who mov- ed into the United States during the last fiscal year was 28,S44. For the same period ending June 30, 1918, the number of Mexican immigrants was 17,602. In 1907 the number was 16,- 438.
 When the illiteracy bill was passed in 1917, excluding foreigners who could not cad and write it was ex- pected that there would be lull in the Mexican influx. But the result was just the opposite. In view of the in- creased immigration, immigration authorities say they can't understand why there is shortage of unskilled labor
 Immigration figures received here show that from most countries immi- grafton has greatly decreased since the war. German immigration in 1919 was les than it has been for 25 years. The total for the fiscal year of 1919 coming from Germany was 1887. In 1915 the number of 20,729 and in 1916 it was 11,555.
 In the year just preceding the war the number of German immigrants was 1871. French immigration last year was 12,958. The number of Chi csc that came into America last year was 2062.
 The total number of immigrants coming into the United States in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, was Al, ,132. Of these 83,272 were men and 57,S60 women. During the same year immigrants leaving the United States for, foreign countries totaled 123, ,622, a number somewhat larger than usual The year 1907 probably showed the biggest immigration ever registered in the United States, the number for that year being 1,285, ,349. The year 1914 was a close second, with total immigration of 1,218,480. The total number of immigrants entering the United States since 1920 is 33,200, ,103.

RED CROSS GIVES FULL ACCOUNTING
War Council Tells How Millions Contributed by Public Were
 Used For Relief.
BIG TASK IS DESCRIBED
In Twenty Months $154, ,o0o, 900 Was Spent Overseas and $11s,ooo, GOO
 In the United StateS

Washington. Especial. l.)-Through a complete report of the work of the American Red Cross In the war by Chairman Henry P. Davison, on be- half of the war council, the organiza. tion on the eve of Its annual enroll ment of members during the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November ? to II, has rendered an accounting of the many millions given 1t by the Ameri- can people to help our fighting men and our allies. The statement is, in part, as follows:
 "The war council of the American Red Cross is now prepared to make complete accounting to the American people of money contributed and ex- pended, as we'll as the work done by the American Red Cross during the period in which the war council was in control of it's affairs. The war council was appointed May 19, 1919, and went out of existence February 2S, 1919
 Tt was the practice of the war council to give complete publicity to It's policies and finances, but 1t Is only now that picture of the war period as whole can be presented. It is the feeling of the war council that a report in this summarized form should be made directly to the public which provided the money and gave the ef- fort which made the American Red Gross success
 "A statement of the American Red Cross effort and finances since the I war council relinQuished its control will be made to the public through the executive committee, and 1t is i'm. portant, therefore, that the fact that this report covers the period only until March 1, should be carefully noted"
 Following are certain round figures covering American Red Cross partici- patton in the war, as revealed by the war councils report:

FOREST SERVICE UNDER ATTACK

Henry S. Graves is forester of the forest service, the bureau of the department of agriculture which con- trOls the national forests. Bills have been introduced in congress providing for the repeal of the act of 1905 which transferred the national forests from the interior department to the agri- cultural department The national forests were created out of the public domain in 1905, and the forest service was established to apply to them the principles of scientific numbering and grazing. It was believed that the na- tional forests would soon become self supporting. The forest service now gets an appropriation of about $6.OOO,- 900 year and it's deficit is about $2OOO,OO0 year.
 The agricultural department has been waging campaign to get the control of, the national parks trans. ferred to it from the interior depart ment. The interior department has

 so as to enable these persons to vote at the election to be held october 9th. next.
 The law relating to the admission of electors was changed by the re- cent session of the Legislature. Sec ton 5Il of the General Statutes be- fore the recent amendment provided that sessions should be held on Satur- day of the second week before the annual town meeting held in 1919. This section was amended by Chap fer 30 of the Laws of 1919 so as to have sessions held on Saturday of the third week before the annual town meeting.
 Section 564 provides that the se- .lectmen and town clerk shall not be in session in any town for the pur- pose of admitting electors, except upon days prescribed by law and they shall not sit as a board for the ad- mission of electors after s o'clock in the afternoon"
 IL is my opinion that the seIectmen and town clerk have no legal power to hold a session to admit persons to the electors oath on Saturday, Sept 27, as it is not the Saturday of the third week before the annual town meeting Although this session has been advertised to be held on Satur- day, the 2Tth, any action taken by the se@Ctmen and town clerk in the way of admitting persons to the elect ors' oath would be null and void. and even were the oath administered -to any person, such person would have no legal right to vote at the coming election.
 You have further asked my opin- ion as to whether a legal and binding agreement could be made by all the candidates at the coming election which enable persons on the ito be made' list to be sworn in by the se- Iectmen and town clerk at a session on Sept. 27.
 In regard to this question, I beg to state that it is my opinion that such an agreement on the part of the candidates would have no legal effect and would not validate the election at which these newly made voters should vote. Such an agree ment would be contrary to public pol icy and void, and would not in any way help out the situation.
 The position of your Town is sim liar to that of a. great many other towns in the State and it is extremely to be regretted that a large number of citizens in your Town and all over the State will not be able to vote. because the amendments were not sent out from Hartford to the Town officials in time so that they were not aware of the change in the law until it was too late to act for the coming l election.
 Very truly yours.

POLICENrEN'S STRIKES.

Meanwhiles without conferences, but solely by the force of public opinion bearing upon a situation which was vividly exhibited and clearly understood, the right of po- licemen to strike has been emphatic ally decided in the negative. When the the Boston police repudIated their oaths to support the public law of their State and City and left ths or dered life of the community unguard- ed, the American public, accustomed to and tolerant of the breaking of contracts by labor unions, experienced a feeling of revulsion in the face of which the failure of the "strike" was inevitable.
 While the police forces of some fif- teen cities of the country have been unionized, the Boston episode has gained general acceptance for the judgment, even among the policemen themselves, that such strikes are tan tamount to revolution.
 The whole theory of our jurispru- dence is that behind the organic and statute law of the land stands the organized force of the people, an in tegral part of the machinery of gov ernment, which cannot be destroyed or self-eliminated without destruction of the legal fabric which presupposes its existence and operation. The dls- ttnction between employees of the pub lie and employees of private employ CTS seem likely to become a funda- mental proposition in future discus sions of economic disturbances.

RANDOLPH AND CLAY
 DUEL WAS EXCITING
 SPORT EVENT IN 1926

Probably the most exclusive A. c. in the world is the American Con Hress. As entry Co Annapolis can be had only by appointment so member ship in the National A. c. is obtained only by election. The Constitution provides for limited membership subject to the choice of the fight fans in the various states. Consequently the athletic contests are kept on a high plane, but occasionally as in CLsry club a member gets in by changing merely his ceUuIOid collar to linen
 In the course of our examinations of this exclusive club We come upon tAe Randolph-CIav rookus. John Randolph chose Cawsons. Va. in l7-g tf his place of entry into the nun dane. Wi-h BandoIph's birth C8w- sons must have died, as it has not been heard of since. Randolph early manifested a sterling honesty. but n'i-h3Hr7 pruphes.cd that Honest J'hn' would some day get into rrol- n.e through the cutting remarks of h.s sharp ton-ua. Clay. whose -frsr . Hgnlker was Henry, also sprang from I Virginia. In fact he sprang SO hard he landed in Kentucky. the state which during the wet period in American history was famous for it's . bourbon. T. was claimed by eminent nourhono'oElsts that had Clay been n'r" during the modern dry age. many of his liquid phrases of eIo- Guence would have been lost to so- c.ety. However that may be. Clay's 'I'q7enco won him membership in inc National A. C. from Kentucky. and Kentucky never had occasion to regret it
