Americanzation That Has Been

Thirty-three million people have made the long
voyage from alien shores since it pro-
CLAIMED that all men are born free and equal, and
liberty's eternal fire was kindled first on American
soil! 1t is if half the former German empire should
embark for America, all of pre-war England except
the county of Kent 1t is if all the population of
all of the of the United States west of the Mis-
sissipp plus that of Alabama should have come bodily
to America.
History records no similar movement of popula-
ton, which in rapdity volume equal this. Com

down on the idea. The explanation was that it was
only the territories Of the conquered powers that
being disposed of and that it would not do to break
up the allied world also and redistribute it. The
Protestants Of ireland have delegation this
country to combat the Sim Fein movement.
Ireland was one of the few countries that was
made more prosperous by the war; S. S. Mcclure, the
well-known publisher, who has just returned from
visit to Ireland says he found "a paradise The peo-
ple he states well dressed and well housed" the
banks have money than they know what to do
with; the farmers have 100000 head of cattle, and
they sold as much food to the allies since 1913
either the United States Argentina did.
Now that Ireland is so prosperous the Irish are
anxious than ever to run things to suit them
selves. The British and the Unionsts contend that it
would not do to give ireland her independence, as
this would expose Great Britain attacks from that
side Ireland would be unable to defend herself and
would easily be conquered, it is argued.

than 1000 900; Great Britain, with little less
than 100000 and Scandinavia, with something less
than 100000 have, together with Germany, contri-
buted more than half the total immigration to. our
shores since the beginning Of the Revolutionary war
When take the German immigration of the
United States between 1776 and 1890 and compare
it with that from other countries somewhat startling
result and usually unsuspected is disclosed The
total arrivals of aliens in those IA years aggregated
IS 89 900, of whom more than 100000 were Bri-
fish and Irish and 5,125,00O- were Germans, which
shows that alien of every three arriving in
America during more than century of our existence
was German. Only the United Kingdom shows a
greater proportion
"Since 1890 the trend has been very different
With more than 100000 immigrant arrivals since
that date, only 100000 have been Germans If
from this number proper reduction made for those
who returned to their homeland and those who have
died since their arrival will be seen that there are
fewer than 100000 former subjects of the kaiser in
this country who have not been here more than 26
years. Of more than 100000 people of German
birth and immediate ancestry among us, less than
100000 fail have the background of birth or long
residence in America behind them.-Exchange.

How Not to Get Lost in the Arctic

We were in country which none of us had pre-
viously seen, and there rver-courses land
marks that could be thoughtessly followed away from
camp with the assurance that you could with equal
thoughtlessness follow them back again. In that
of weather it is of the closest observation
and the most careful reckoning to find your way home
to camp. AS you advance you must notice the speed
with which you walking and the time you pro-
ceeding i'm any given direction, and you must know
exactly what ang to the wind you travelling.
furthermore you must check the wind occasionally,
either by your pocket compass by snowdrft the
ground, that it isn't changing, for unnoticed
change in the wind would throw otherwise careful
reckoning completely out of gear The method of such
hunt if you are leaving camp in unknown topogra-
phy is first to walk around the hill for our hunting
camps are commonly on high hilltops-and examine
each face of the hill carefully enough so that you feel
sure that if you strike any point of it within half
mile of camp you will recognize it on the return.
When the topography of the half-mile square or so
surrounding camp has been memorized you strike
perhaps right into the wind perhaps at an angle OF
fortyve ninety degrees to it, and travel straight
for hour two hours according to the degree of
confidence you have in your ability to get back If
game has been found, you turn at some known
angle Commonly right angle) to your original course
and walk in that direction carefully estimated dis
tance perhaps far you did in the first direction
If then nothing has been found you again, and if
you this time also make rightangle turn, it easy
to calculate at what time you opposite camp and
one hour two hours walk away from it. Turning
third right angle will face you directly for camp
and if you have been careful you will land within half
a mile of your mark, or within the area which you
memorized before starting. But should you miss it,
you will know, at any rate, at what time you
close to it, and by carefully thinking the
you will how walk around in circles squares
of continually increasing size until you find place
you know.-Vuhjalmur Stefansson in Harpers.

The Lever of Thrift

Archimedes the father of arithmetic, discovered
several of the principles upon which modern mechanics
are founded. Among these the principle of the
lever Down the long ages since Archimedes lived
and worked mankind has made of the lever in
practically every great forward stride that applied
mechanics has made in aiding civilization.
Archmedes is credited with the declaration that
if he could lever long enough and place to
rest it he could move the world. No one has ever
undertaken to demonstrate this proposition but today
it is pretty well accepted as fact The lever has
demonstrated its power.
Modren civilization, struggling to lift the world
from poverty and ignorance, has long sought lever
powerful enough for the material moral and spiritual
uplft of the peoples. 1t has sought everywhere for
the material, moral or spiritual force that would
generate the world. Throughout the world today
and governments struggling grasp the lever
that they hope will lift the world to the heights where
mankind will find peace and contentment.
The lever that will lift the world has been found.
1t is thrift The power that lies in individual saving,
in thought for the morrow, in earning little and
spending little less, in building up out of todays
earnings fund that will care for the needs of the
future, of the greatest forces in the world today
Through thrift the individual may win to ma
teral and spiritual success With the lever of saving
he aid his brain and Drawn lift his life of
the slough of debt and poverty and place it the
broad smooth highway to financial freedom With
the lever of thrift he pry away the financial
worries which burden him down and hamper him in
his search for happiness and content.
The lever of thrift lies at every mans hand. 1t
is beside every and child in the daily way about
the world with investment in Government savings Sc
curities You command the vast power of thrift,
the power that will lift the world-Thrift.

on an idea of wide intellectual appeal
is William J. Hurlbnt's sensational

of ideas and custome.
The heroine does not believe in mar
riage In Paris she found much sym

no sense a preachy play, but tells
worthwhile story with moments OF
dramatic intensity and abundance OF
quaint humor, The star is Gladys
