dav. when a aviator on the New York

in March another aviator on the same

the air mail service as an appendix to

that the Senate has added 81 100000

The immigration Barometer.

The ebb and flow of immigration
which have generally been regarded
as an accurate barometer of industri-
al and political conditions in America
and Europe, are somewhat puzzling
just now, though it seems to be clear
that the tide has definitely set in this
direction. Two thousand Italians ar
rived at Ellis Island last Wednesday
and the same number on Thursday and
the weSpbound passenger ships from
Italian ports have been filled for some
time. But so have the ships bound for
Italy.
1t would seem as If the information
upon which these movements are ordi-
narily based was conflicting if a psy-
Geological explanation were not avail
illogical explanation were not avail
able. 1t is said to be habit OF the
typical Italian immigrant TO spend one
year in three in the United States, ac-
cumulating savings to spend in Italy
in the other two years. The cost of
living, however. has increased proper
tionately more in Italy since the war
than insAmerica and the old habit has
had to be revised. The lure of the
home country remains, and whatever
may be the economic condition over
there the Italian is bound to make his
belated visit, but he seems likely now
TO make his visit unusually short.

Russian Jews has almast ceased. I. was

but in recent months departure from
Russia by way of Scandinavia, it is
said, has been comparatively easy. Pas

truth about Russia will one day clear

THE CHANGES IN TOM AND JERRY
Or Joe, and the Thousands OF Others
Who Used to Pay Tribute to
Old John Barleycorn.

There's Joe johnson looking in at
the shop window of Washington
street tailor. He used to 90 to school
with us, but we need not cross over TO
avoid him. A few years ago, and for
| 10 wears before that, he used to cost
me about So a week, for ! never re-
fused to help him when he was sober.
| bought clothes for him and got work
, for him. but he could never hold a
place long because of his Incorporate
habits. Even six months in hospital
for inebriates did not cure him, al
though he has been more steady since
the treatment.
Look at him nowl He has come to
me for help but twice since last June,
but he has come several times to make
social call He called 10 days ago to
tell me that the new suit of clothes,
new hat, and new boots he was wear
ing were all paid for out of his earn
ings. He looks like a gentleman and
behaves like a gentleman, as he did in
our school days. He will never be
president, but nav that he cannot get
liquor, there il every prospect OF his
being self supporting and selfrespect-
ing for the rest OF his days, and he is
already past so.
Then there is Jerry Mcguire. Jerry
runs a printing press. lie formerly
averaged about three days of work a
week. when he was working at all. he
lost count of how many times he was
arrested for drunkenness. Even in the
coolest weather he had no overcoat to
1. L., rat most his
money
After July |. 1919, there was great
change in Jerry. He began to take
some interest in his work, in other
people and in himself. Last Christmas
he bought Sd fountain pen as a pres
ent for the stenographer. He works
full time every week now, and with
overtime last week he got $50 in his
envelope. He puts his surplus cash
each week in the savings bank, where
he has already accumulated over $500
in few months, and although he is no
Beau Brummel. he is warmly and com.
fortably clad in cold weather.
OF course the stories of Joe and
Jerry are little different from those OF
thousands and perhaps millions OF men |
before and after the coming OF prohl- |
bition as a boon TO victims of the drink |
habit.

South Lends Money to New York.

According to Mason Harker, presi-
dent of the United States Mercantile
| company, who has made an extensive
| trip through the South, that section
of the country is in highly prosper
Gus condition. In a statement to the
New YorA Journal of Commerce he
said THE South has come to the
front to stay. One outstanding feat
ture of the South's condition is the
fact that they are loaning their money
to New York at the rate of So par
cent and lots of it, whereas they fer
merly were heavy borrowers from New
York at greater rates of interest: The
fact of the matter is that condition.
are so very good that small banks in
Georgia and other parts Of the South
have been declaring dividends of from
Is per cent to 80 per cent on capital
of S25, 900 up.
This prosperous condition of the
South undoubtedly causes the extraor
binary demand and high prices of all
classes of wearing apparel, as well as
foodstuffs, as the people in the South,
who formerly used to live on salt pork
and dress in homespun, are now eating
the very best cuts OF meat and the best
fats, and dressing in silks, satins and
the finest OF woolens- The fact that
the people have the money and are
spending it should have a tendency to
make general business conditions In
the United States very good for some
time to come.

southerner is now look for is to sell
