KILL OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Arioi of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt of One of Their Order to Raise
 Child as Sin.

Lovers of laughter, song, music. flowers and birds, the Ariof of Tahiti killed their own children at birth, and looked upon the attempt of a member of their order to rear child as a sin. While religious causes were given for this by the leaders and, no doubt, believed in, the real cause, Frederick O'Brien tells in the Century, wax natural one whereby the species. to prevent over-population of the South sea island, destroyed it's own. With perfect health and no enemies, the island would soon have had hard time finding food.
 The Arioi were wandering minstrels, actors, priests and wonder workers to which belonged both men and women.
 The natives of Tahiti who have es- capped the blight of civilization are living proofs that at one time the race was one of the most beautiful iE the worlds history, while investigators declare that arts and civilization > ere brought to high plane hundreds of years ago.

Judge Was Likely Dead Right When He Told the Elderly Lady About
 His Gown.

The judges of the Marion county courts recently adopted and published rules relating to formal openings of court sessions, requiring all persons in the courtroom at the time to stand. This and the other requirements are designed to insure dignity and deco rum.
 An elderly woman employed at the courthouse accosted one of the judges in the corridors of the building and complimented the bench on its atti- tude in conducting court.
 'In fact, judge" she added, "I think all of you judges ought to do like some of the big Eastern courts and wear gowns"
 Without batting an eye the judge replied: "I do wear a gown about one third of the time."
 'Why, never saw you in one," the woman said.
 "And you never will," gravely an- swered his honor as he proceeded to his courtroom. chuckling to himself Indianapolis News.

Chicago, May l5.-According to q
Washington dispatch TO The Chicago
Tribune immigration on a large scale
is forecast by reports from Europe:
More than 10000 aliens in nearly all
European countries except Germany,
Austria, Hungary, Moslem Turkey and
Russia, have applied for permission to
migrate to America, said the dispatch.
american Conslls are passing on the
applications as rapidly as possible. The
latest figures show that for several weeks
immigrants have been arriving in this
country at the rate of 100000 a year,
FIVE times as many as entered last year
and half as many as in 1914, when the
peak of prc-war immigration was reached.
''The renewed influx of foreigners is
welcomed by employers, who believe
that immigration will relieve the labor
shortage The American Federation II
alarmed for fear that the competition
of immigrant labor will lower wages and
is pressing its demand for the suspension
of all immigration for several years.
"The House committee on immigration
is at work on regulatory measure Tor
consideration at the next session, but the
indications are that instead of n suspen-
sion of immigration the only legislation
will provide for the wedding out of un-
desirables before they leave foreign
