Immigration to this country is increasing but
Ito some extent it is the return of aliens who
were reservists that is accountable for this in
crease. An interesting tabulation of facts is
furnished in the first news bulletin issued by the
number Of people are on the move from country
to country the world around and that we are
getting proportionately less than our pro rata
number of immigrants Italy is fostering the
emigration Of large numbers Of her people to
France for work in the coal mines; not only are
opportunities for work at good wages many,
but the promotion of French coal production is
of direct advantage to Italy. The Portuguese
government has considered measures to put a
stay on emigration from that country; great
numbers Of farmers are leaving Portugal But
we are not getting many Of them; they are go
ing to Brazil We are losing rather than gain
ing in the number of Firms, more of them re-
turning from the United States to their land or
to Scandinavia than coming from Finland to US.
Even the Swiss are on the move; the normal
number Of emigrants from that country before
the war was less than one thousand; now five
hundred Swiss have left their land
in the past eight months, majority Of them
coming to this country. 1t will interest people
who are watching immigration to know that the
great proportional increase in our immigration
this year promises to come from Asia's near
east; we are getting twelve times the number Of
Syrians that we used to get. There is a restless
shift Of peoples everywhere. We have yet to
see how it will affect u.s.

WHAT RUSSIANS ARE

Chicago Tribune: Civilization
In central and western Europe
and in the United States has its
foundations upon life as devel-
oped by the Romans. The Roman
political control disappeared. but
the very peoples who came IN at
Its weakening were modified and
governed by the Roman system
OF life. The Romans gave the
world law as Europe and America
now know it. The architecture
OF civilization as we know 1t Is
Roman architecture, and that
means that it has existed with
the fundamentals consistently
developing for a great many
centuries.
The development OF this stluc-
ture and the contributions of the
Romans, to the languages of
Europe, particularly Of western
Europe. give continuity to life
and reliability to the changes
which each nation has made in
its own particular life.
The changes from century to
y OCA&LAly anu IAOm 6CACA 0tAOA ~
generation, in law. in language, in
habit, in political process, have
not been violent They have not
come by the Introduction of
strange and overpowering inf1u-
ences, such as would be registered
by wave after wave of alien con-
querors or by the excesses OF
utterly destructive revolutions.
Changes have been natural evO-
lutions, with the English, for In
stance, from Roman law to Eng
lish common law, from monarchy
to democracy. etc. progress an
evolution, with each event related
to the past and distinctly a nat
ural growth from the past, all
resting upon enduring fundamen-
tails.
The people who are living In
civilizations so produced forget
that the architecture has this
solid basis. and they look at the
Russians as if expecting that
peoples with a totally different
history could present the same
development or were capable OF
the same political evolution.
Russia in its barbaric days
came in contact not with Rome
but with Constantinople. and as
western Europe drew it's solidity
from Rome. Russia drew its con-
fusion from Asia. Russians took
their institutions from invaders
from the valley of the Amur,
from nomadic Mongol tribes, from
Heterogeneous masses Of people
emerging from central Asia
The conflict of mortimer and
Asiatics produced no institutions
OF political validity, none that
could develop logically from
savagery to civilization, from bar
barrie tribal autocracy to democ-
racy. The conflict Of moslem

The temperament Of the Russian

with its possibilities of cruelty,
credulity, love, hate, violence,
darkness, soul consciousness,
fatalism. and instability.
1t made possible the unbroken
czaristic government, with us
cruelties Of repression and the
violence of anarchists, with their
cruelties Of direct action. II
made possible the continued sub
mission OF the great masses or
people to ignorance and laziness.
It caused the lack of purpose
and design which weakened the
Russian peoples.
It made them incapable OF In
dividual development in initiative
and in the application of ordered
schemes OF life. 1t made them
individually violent and individu-
ally submissive, savagely cruel
at times, childishly affectionate
at others. 1t developed rich and
deep personalities and no valid
scheme Of society. When the
Russians wanted order and
scheme they had to rely upon
Germans.
There was nothing stabilizing
In their psychology. They did
not reach back to a great
scheme Of order and law such as
the Roman scheme, but into .
thousand tribes.
Naturally their revolution,
when It came, had no balance. 1t
had only violence, to destroy
everything and recreate every
thing. an experiment so naturally
evolving civilization would have
been capable of undertaking. The
Russian had no restraints be-
cause he had no traditions Of
self-g0vernment. He destroyed
not only the monarchy but the
institutions which might even in
Russia have been the beginning
OF democracy. He destroyed
them, and. with his natural bent,
adopted another autocracy, which
was no less cruel. no less re-
strictive of the individual, and no
more concerned with its rights
than the czaristic autocracy had
been.
The confusion of old Asia rules
in new Russia, with its flashes
of barbarity, its lack Of form, its
flashes of inspiration and exalta-
ton. its willingness to fight and
execute, its heedlessness of life,
disregard of property, and aban-
donmont of all the principles
with which the civilizations Of
Europe and the United States
have found they can make
community and nation.

Kidding the caIifornians.

Chicago Tribune: We are unable
to tell exactly what is happening in
Los Angeles, but it seems to be hav-
ing earthquakes. 1t may be only
that the people have been patting
themselves on the back little more
enthusiastically than before, but some
thing has been causing building SHIN
mics and brick sprinkles.
The mayor of Los Angeles has re-
buked the tourists for looking sky
ward apprehensively and skipping in
out of the rain occasionally, but when
bricks get so ecstatic over the climate
that they dance in the air people who
have been accustomed to less exhil-
arated life, to more solid even If
duller life. cannot be blamed for tax
ing more Of an interest in the phenom-
enon than would be taken by the in
habitants.
In mosquito country the residents
frequently do not mind them. We
presume that familiarity with brick
spr1nlles comes with time, and a
citizen who is beaned goes about his
business and thinks nothing OF It.
The Califofnians are wonderful
breed of people, and we do not wonder
that an enthusiastic Frenchman wants
to introduce the strain in France by
marrying their men to French widows.
It would be wonderful breed for a
nation which may have to furnish bat
tlefields. A rain of bricks and small
shells would mean nothing to quake
proof citizen.
We suggest that Los Angeles make
a q r,f iCr, ~ 70
lists could be attracted to see a CULVER
Just as they are attracted by Babe
Ruth. If Los Angeles is afraid of
the business soundness of this, we
suggest that each time there is
quake some discreet citizens start a
few fires. That is the best REPUTATION
of silly tourist who thinks he was
in an earthquake.

Keeps Hair in Curl on
Hot or WINDY Days

Here's a hair curling secret that is
decidedly worth while" Just apply
a little liquid silmerine before doing
up the hair, using clean tooth brush
for the purpose, drawing this down
the hair fnom crown to tip. In three
hours you will have as beautiful curls
and waves as you could wish for
The waviness will look SO natural
no one will guess 1t was artificially
acquired. And it will last ever so
long, regardless of heat, wind or
dampness.
You can obtain liquid silmerine at
any drug store and few ounces will
last long time. 1t is neither sticky
nor greasy and is pleasant to use.
1t is doubly useful because of also
serving as a beneficial dressing, keep.
ing the hair soft, silky and lustnous.

Serpent Mound q Puzzle.

Detroit News: The serpent effigy
mound, near Chillicothe, Ohio, the
strangest earthwork left by the
mound builders, is one of the most
striking and puzzling creations that
Is to be found in the Scioto river
valley. Over all the mound is more
than 1900 feet long, and depicts a
serpent of several convolutions, Jaws
extended, and an oval within the
grasp of the huge jaws.
The groundwork is from two tn
four feet in height, and from three
or four to twenty feet in thickness.
Within the oval, beyond the extended
jaws. a2archaeologists have found an
altar Of stones, remains of creations
and copper ornaments.
An old Indian fighter who died IN
the west several years ago, nearly
100 years old, declared he had heard
a story In his younger days of a tribe
of strange Indians in the Scioto val
ley who each year held a fall festival
and gave great pow-wow on a
snakes back. He said he never could
understand the meaning of the story
until later in life when he heard OF
the mound builders. His recollection
Of the story. had it been given to
students of the mounds. might have
served to give them new theories ON
which to base their research work.
He said the strange race were sup-
posed to sacrifice a certain number
Of children born under the first full
moon of spring. For this the mound
builders might have used the stone
altar which has been found.

IMPORT RECORDS BROKEN.

Our favorable trade balance for the fiscal
year which closed June thirtieth, last, was
81, 1854, 100000 smaller than for the fiscal year
1919, and the lowest since 1916. For the first
time in the history Of the country our imports
exceeded FIVE billions of dollars So 239, 900 900,
to be exact. While exports exceeded $4,000
100000 in value, it viii be found on study of
their nature that exports consisted very largely
of raw materials for use in manufacturing, and
manufactures for further use in manufacture
Ing about forty five per cent. of the total for
the two classes and machinery with which to
fehabilitate Europe Raw cotton exports alone
amounted to nearly ST. $780, 100000 in value, and
that great deal of that cotton is being return

Fact that our imports of cotton manufactures
for 1920 were nearly double in value our imports
Of those goods under the protective tariff year

tale, for it is to be borne in mind that the value
