LlTERACY TEST
 BARRING MANY
 FROM COUNTRY

New York, March 2.---Representa
 House Immigration Committee, today
 asserted that the literacy test is bar
 ring from the United States thou
 sands of desirable immigrants and
 helping increase the cost of living
 An average of per cent of the inn migrants arriving at New York are sent back because of the test, he said
 and a full third of the prospective inn migration afbandons it's intention tc come here when it hears of it. Siegel said 12 Italian girls who came to America to marry American sol-
 diers now are being held at Ellis Is land because they cannot pass the lit-
 eracy test, which does not succeed in
 keeping out of the country thousands of immigrants of the undesirable
 kind.
 The test cannot be enforced against | il1iterate immigrants who cross the border from Mexico because of the in adequate force of immigration inspec- tors available and because public sen timent si against it in the order states where laborers are needed in great quantities, Siegel said. The need for domestic servants and | workers in the garment trade could | be filled by illiterate immigrant girls, | he added, explaining that there seemed 1 to be few native born girls of foreign
 percentage who will enlist in these lines l of work.

GASOLINE PRICES ARE CONDEMNED
 AS EXCESSIVE E

London, March 2-Existing prices of gasoline are condemned as grossly excessive,'' in a report submitted by a committee apponted under the pro- hteering act to investigate prices. II says the concentration of control or the supply in hands of enormously powerful combines constitutes such dangerous power, if improperly used, that it is imperative the governments should give attention to it. Recom- mendation is made that oil prices be regulated by the League of Nations under international agreements.
 The standard Oil Go. and the Shell Corporation are named in the report as the combines mainly concerned, and it is declared the existing price of 23 pounds f. o. b. New York is much too high. It is said that the committee had been informed that the price ought not to exceed 7. 10a per ton. High prices are attributed to powerful financial interests taking advantage of a tendency of demand to outstrip supply, and grave danger of a permanent world famine of mo- tor spirits is foreseen. The report for this reason, urges the British gov- ernment to foster the production of British motor fuel.

WILL NOT CLOSE
 STORES UNTIL ALL SUPPLIES ARE GONE

The War Department authorizes publication of the following statement from the Office, of the Director of Sales:
 The Director of Sales announces that no Army Quartermaster Retail Store or branch store, of which there are at present IT in operation in various parts of the United States, will be closed until it's supply of items has been practically exhausted or until it's overhead expense exceeds 10 per cent of it's sales receipts. More than 90 per cent. of the items adapted for sale through the Retail Stores already have been sold. The supply; therefore, hay ing been greatly diminished, particu- larly of those items for which there is the greatest demand the expense of operating these establishments is ma terially increasing.
 After the stores have been closed, a new method of disposing of the bal ance of the Quartermaster Corps sur plus stock will be put into effect. Lists will be prepared covering the remain ing items and giving a description of the material, location, and quality. In all cases the minimum quantity on which bids will be received will be fixed as the smallest practical ship ping unit, regardless of the total quan- tity offered. This method will make it possible for the small retail dealer to purchase direct without making ii necessary for the material to pass through the hands of the manufac- turer, joihber. or wholesaler. Each bid will be closed on a specified date, and . the utmost publicity will be given.

COUPLE GLAD TO BE ON WAY
 TO AMERICA

Paris, March 2-Among the pass engers an board United States Shipping Board vessel which left Lis bon on Saturday was a newly welded couple, to whom the sight of the disappearing shores of Portugal must have been most gratifying. They were the chief mate of the ship and his bride, who were married during a brief stay of the ship at an Irish port and after a courtship lasting less than three days.
 After securing a special marriage license, the chief mate sailed on his ship for Lisbon, and when he arrived there he introduced his bride to the captain, saying, according to advices she had come to that port from Ire land by way of France and Spain The captain agreed that the bride could go to America as a stewardess and it seemed to be flair weather ahead for the couple. A few hours out of port, however, an accident oc- cured in the engine room, and the ship had to return to Lisbon for re pairs, during which time the mate and the chief engineer had a bitter quarrel. This resulted in the en- gineer telling the captain the mates wife had been a stowaway on board the vessel during the trip from Ire land.
 Incensed by this breach of discip- line, the captain sent the bride ashore After cab1egrams had passed between Lisbon and Washington, in which il was pointed out the young wife could not be left stranded in a foreign lanG and the mate would demand his dis. charge, it was finally agreed that tht couple could go to America on the shin
