Known as LATEST Of Birds.

The LATEST of birds is the frog
mouth. He sleeps all day, and at
night, instead of flying about In search
Of food, he sits ON limb and literally
waits for the insects to come and feed
him. He is such sound sleeper that
you can push him off his perch with
a stick and not wake him. He inhab-
it's Australia and the islands of the
Indian ocean. In size the frogmouth
resembles the whippoorwill, and gets
his name from his wide mouth, which
serves as his insect trap. Too lazy
to fly for his food, like other birds, he
crawls along the limb Of tree, open
ing his wide mouth and swapping it
shut, catching what flies and gnats
come within his range. At night he
perches with his mate ON the roofs of
houses, on fences, or stumps. Only
after the sun goes down does he show
any inclination to move about.

The labor shortage in this country is
held to be due to the suspension of i'm
migration since the outbreak of the
war in 1914. Of the one million or
more aliens coming to the u. S. an
nually during the previous years, al
most one-half remained in this country.
But between 1914-1919 the aggregate
foreign increase amounted to less than
half a million persons. On the basis of
this information there is now short
age of emigrant labor, two thirds of it
unskilled, of nearly 5000, 900. In these
figures no cognizance is taken Of the
expansion of American industries and
farm areas, nor of the diminishing pro-
ducing energy of the labor units during
the five year period. The shortage is
real and many view it with good deal
of concern. The Federation of Labor
does not share in this apprehension.
It's leaders, moreover, advocate that
laws be enacted stopping immigration
altogether during period of two years.
During the excitement of the war when
there was an almost general fear of
radical foreigners, this program was
looked upon with favor, even among
farmers. The tide is turning. The
war situation and the more earnest
than wise Americanization plans fOs-
tered in many quarters have started an
outward flow of foreign labor which to-
gether with the falling off in the num-
Der of arrivals is seriously depicting
our labor supply. To remedy the sit
uation it is now advocated that our i'm
migration laws be revised, especially
the literary test clause of it, so as to
admit labor that is otherwise desirable,
even though ignorant. A so-called
inter-racial council has been organized
in the East which intends to urge these
matters before congress. The council
asks that bureau of assimilation be
created to handle the immigration prob
lem and take care of the interests of
the emigrant. The fear has taken hold
that the U. S. is in badly with the emf
grants from Europe, and that the emf
grant classes over there are going to
Brazil, Australia, Canada and South
Africa, where inducements are offered
the aliens, appealing more strongly to
the emigrant than anything our coun-
try is able to offer, as matters now
stand between the American people and
the foreigner. One thing is certain,
and that is that the literary test will
not exclude the dangerous foreigner.
File generally comes with an equipment
of languages and other knowledge that
make him safe landing. But why re-
peal the literary test at all? Why open
the door to illiterate Europe? Keep it
open to the European who is not litter
ate, and make him feel at home here.

The pride in the educational system
of our state sustained rather sharp
jolt the other day when the Russell
Sage foundation announced the results
of a survey of the school systems of
determining their comparative efficien-
cy. The findings are that Wisconsin
appears as No. SO in the list of states;
Iowa, Utah, Michigan, Ohio, Colorado,
Indiana, Minnesota and many others
having been given the preference. The
chagrin is complete when we hear that
Montana is No. l. The last one on the
list is South Carolina.

dams had horror Of what they called
the pest spot of Lake Chapala, near
the shore at Tizapan. They would not

that the water was oily. Then, after
a time, they cautiously began to paint
wooden boats with this oil. which
proved so effective in keeping out the
water that it became the general Gus.

this was petroleum gushing up through

large globule weighing about %

SECRETARY HOUSTON has published
some figures throwing light on some of
the causes of the FL. G. L. The follow
ing Bit of information is illuminating:
Concerning extravagances, Mr.. Hous-
ton quoted from report he had re-
quested from the government actuary
in which it was estimated that upwards
of $4,000, 600, 900 bad been spent on
luxuries last year. In detail the ex-
penditures, in part, were as follows:
For candy, $1,000, 600. 600; for chewing
gum, $50, 600, 600; for cigarets, 81, 0O0,-
600; for soft drinks and movies, about
$3.50, 900, 900 each. 81, 500, 900, 900 spent
for soft drinks and movies during 1919,
and another round billion for candies!

READING and hearing what folks
write and speak these days, one is led
to think that this is most unhappy,
corrupt, godforsaken and despicable
nation. 1t is a shame the way we carry
on. There are wrongs to right and
serious evils to combat, but under the
dome of the eternal sky, where is there
better place right now to live in con-
tentment and happiness than here? Do
not let us make it vice to be content
and a virtue to be discomfort.

Cause of BreathIessnesa

Breathlessness is caused by insult
6ciency of the heart either from lack
Of proper exercise or from disease.
The heart fails to pump the blood to
the lungs fast enough and according

ulates the breathing center. This
