Slipping out of her airy spring

girl across the way, looking at the
light gray coat over the crair back.
Everybody else has hesitated about
admitting it was spring yet.

IMMIGRATION LAWS.

There have been demands of many
kinds for changes in immigration
laws. 1t is by no means new ques-
ton and while certain reforms have
been instituted it is certain that the
time has not arrived when those seek
ing them will cease their efforts. New
conditions following the war will call
for new changes. Whether they will
call for immediate legislation is Il
matter that must be decided by con-
gress.
In this connection it is an inter
esting programme that is mapped out
by a national committee for construc-
tive immigration in which it is advo-
Gated that there he a complete sus-
pension of all labor immigration for
two years or more, that it be regu-
lated thereafter on the percentage
principle, that there Be an annual adj
mission of a certain per cent. of those
of each people already naturalized,
that there be created an immigration
commission to determine annually
the rate within the specified limits
with power to admit or exclude labor
under exceptional circumstances, that
examining officers be sent to ports
from which immigrants sail and
steamship companies be given resula-
tons that needless hardship from the
administration of the law may be
avoided, that the standards of quail
fication for citizenship be raised and
the privilege of naturalization be
given to all who qualify. that the
citizenship of wife and husband b.
separated and that the laws dealing
specifically and differentially with tbs
Chinese be repealed.
These suggestions are the result Of
a. study of existing conditions. Some
have moro merit than others but they
will doubtless receive attention Is
| they should in making any changes il

OLD TURKISH TRADE UNIONS
Guilds Formed Of Members of Various
Industrial Vacations Common
In Constantinopie.

Whatever may be the eventual gov
eminent of Constantinople, the count
less guilds or corporations created by
members of the various industrial vo-
cations followed by the population will
probably respond slowly to the change.
In Constantinople, says writer on
Turkish life, every trade and calling
has its own union. many of which are
of long ancestry: the esnaf. or guild,
of the shoemakers, for example, Is
said to have been granted power to
judge and punish its own members for
public offenses as long ago as the six
teenth century, in return for some
service which it then rendered Sulei-
man the Magnificent Organized for
the common benefit as traders or work
erS, the members of the guilds are adj
mitted irrespective of race or religion
SO long as they follow that particular
occupation. The business Of the or
ganization Is conducted in lodges, the
officers Of which have been held re-
sponsible for the good behavior Of
members. Although future conditions
in Constantinqple wial doubtless modi-
" them, the esaafs will probably COO
unue to be power.

HAVE SIMILAR FINGER MARKS
Important Discovery Made by CALI
forna Professor as to PeouiaritIes
OF Family Groups.

Prof. ]. \. Larson, instructor of
physiology in the University of Cali
fornia, announced a new discovery in
connection with finger prints which is
likely to have remarkable influence
on many important cases that con-
Germ the law courts of California.
Briefly, Professor Larsons discovery
indicates that similarity of finger
prints among members of family is
sufficiently marked to enable scientists
TO trace family groups and determine
positively whether given individual
is really member Of the family to
which he claims relationship.
The importance of the discovery in
probate cases such as the Slingsby case
is obvious
Should DR.. Larson's new discovery
be accepted by law and science, the
Slngsby decision may be reversed, as
we'll as many other analogous cases.
DR.. Larson's Investigations began In
1913 at the Boston university.
"Since that time 1 have examined
prints of members Of approximately
100 families" he said, land l am salts
fed in my own mind that such q
means of Identification is possible. l
am preparing detailed reports of my
work now in order that science may
be benefited by my discovery. Before
l complete this however, I expect to
investigate the prints Of fifteen or
twenty additional families so as to re-
