self-searcEing scrutiny is good for soul and conscience, laying bare the failures and pointing the way to better achieve ment. America is no exception to this rule. America has. in a measure, failed in her attitude toward the foreigner com ing to her shores seeking better things for it is to be supposed that to find happier life is the motive when a man casts off his moorings from his native land to seek asylum among strangers. America has held to an attitude of aloof- ness and cold commercialsm in her treat ment of the immigrant and the immigra- tion problem. The human element has been lacking. The friendly welcome, the neighborly spirit, have both been absent. The foreigner has been allowed to hold to his own group, keeping aloff from Ameri- can influences, and remaining a foreign element which is more or less dangerous, in the proportion that its ignorance is worked upon by the demagogue and the agitator.
 America is waking up to her failures, but in her attempt to meet the situation there is too much patronage and com descension there is too obvious an at. tempt to educate" and to "Amercanize" in much Of the America nization work be- ing done. This is not as it should be. The spirit of friendlness, the sympathy of human hearts, should characterize our intercourse with these strangers whom we need and who need us. And if this spirit of friendliness is in our hearts it cannot help but get out to them. What we feel in our hearts we give out un- consciously to others, and we must search our own hearts and see that this spirit of friendIincss lies therein before we can successfully solve our so-called "im- migration problem"
 This is the spirit which has animated the Daughters of American Revolution in

all their varied work of many years for the assimilation of the foreigner. Our society has been giving it out wherever a local chapter has interested itself in it's foreign neighbors. It is the spirit which animated our ancestors when they helped one another with the house "rais- ings" and "husking bees
 The time has come when the national society as a whole must go forward with some big, concrete work in which we may all unite to establish better rela- tions with these strangers within our gates, that the spirit of America may en- ter into their hearts.
 It has semed to me that this can best be done on the incoming steamers, and at the points of debarkation, such as El- lis Island, where the immigrants are re- ceived like commodities, tagged and lab eled and shunted off to their various des- tnations.
 If the spoken and the written word of welcome could be the first thing that greets these desolate, homesck ones-a friendly hand, holding out a book of needed, helpful information-how differ ently. how warmly would they feel to- ward this land and its people. To this end I made the following recom- mendation to your national board at it's June meeting:
 There is this one concrete work which your president general desires to recom- mend-this is the financing of manual of information in several languages for free distribution to the immigrant on , landing upon these shores, modelled upon the plan of the wel-known Guide to the United States for Immigrants, published some years ago by the Connecticut D. A. R.. said annual to contsin the constitu- tion of the United States, the American creed the pledge of the flag with rules for the correc. use of the flag, an address of welcome from this society, and all practical information concerning our
 laws and government; our schools, banks government securities, everything, in short, which he needs to know in order to lead the life of iaw-abiding American citizen.
 She would fursher recommend that the states raise a 2o-cent per capita con tribution toward a fund for this purpose to be known as the immigrant manual fund.- said contributions to be paid to the treasurer general and the work carried on through the patriotic education and Americanization committee."
 This was unanimously adopted by your beard of management. Our desire Is 10 start work as soon as sufficient funds are received to enter upon the preparation of the manual which must be compiled bv an expert under our supervision. Therefora, I hope that each state regent will place this matter Before her state as soon as possible in order that each state may contribute it's share at an early date for upon the preliminary success of the first year depends our continuance of this manual as an established publi- cation of the society.
 That the national society, Daughters of the American Revolution, should be the first to welcome these potential Amer jeans is simply our rightrul share III the great work of holding our nation to the Americanism of it's founders-our ances- tors. ANNE ROGERS MiNOR,
 President General.

me no good at all--my pains got worse instead of better. I began taking the Vegetable Compound and felt change from the first.

 It hardly seems possible that there is woman in this country who will con tinue to suffer without giving Lydia E.

Yet Town on lsIani of Tutuiio, in American Samoa, Is Worth Attn
 ton of Tourists.

PagO Pago, on the island of Tutll- fla in American S:Inoa. would prob ably be an easy winner in competition for the leaSt-knoUn town of it's size under the American flag.
 Most Americans never heard of Pa%o PagO; yet it has an excellent hnrhor. is an important naval cOaling station, and Is governed by American naval officers.
 The island of Tituila is one of six little tropical atOlS which constitute American Samoa. They are all noun tainOus and are picturesque with their jungle-cOvered steeps and their great palm groves sheltering little white na- tive towns.
 These natives are a peculiarly at tractive people, as any American Jackie who has spent while ar Pa%O PagO will tell you. They are kindly, hospitable, and full of fun, while some of the women, especially the half castes, are really beautiful.
 The favorite native diversion, strangely enough, is cricket. which was taught the Samoans by British mis- sionaries long ago. <and has well nigh Supplantcd all the really indigenous sports. But the Samoan has made of cricket a thing after his oWI harharic heart. He plays with 10 or 70 mon on side, so that q grand scr.mmag' is inevitable; he roots with tom. on and with intense excitement: and the winners always perform a "Serpcntine. which has all the characteristics of a savage war dance.
