EUGENICS AND OUR
IMMIGRATION LAWS

Recognition by congress that lmml-
grafton constitutes one of the great
est of the after-war problems OF the
United States makes timely sugges-
ton In regard to controlling the great
influx of foreigners to this country,
advanced by DIR. Alexander Graham
Bell, In communication TO the Ma
tional Geographic society.
"Why should not congress provide
for an clinical survey of the people
of the United States" he asks.
I'VE should have definite and reli-
able information concerning those for
elgn elements which are beneficial to
our people and those which are harm
full.
"The problem OF improving race
Of human beings is a most perplexing
one to handle. The process of Inn
provement must be slow where the
forces concerned act from within and
are not amenable to control from with
out. Under the best conditions II
would require several generations to
produce sensible results; but IN the
United States we have, In the new
blood introduced from abroad, an Inn
portant means Of Improvement that
will act more quickly, and that is emil
nently susceptible to control. All the
nations OF the world have been con-
tributing elements to our population |;
and we have now, and now only, the
opportunity OF studying the process OF
absorption before It is complete.
"The grand spectacle is presented
20 our eyes of new people being
gradually evolved In the United States
by the mingling together OF the differ
ent races Of the world In varying pro-
portions. 1t ID Of the greatest conse-
quence to us that the final result
should be the evolution OF a higher
and nobler type Of man I'm America,
and not deterioration OF the nation.
ITO this end the process OF evolu-
ton should be carefully studied, and
then controlled by suitable immigra-
tlon laws tending TO eliminate unde-
sirable clinical elements, and 10 slim
ulate the admission OF elements as
simulated readily by our population.
and that tend to raise the standard
Of manhood here"

up the ladle. swings II over to the
pouring platform, where It, In its turn,
is tapped and its purified fluid run
OF into molds.
Great care has to be taken In han.
ding these Indies, for the presence of
few drops of moisture when the
hot metal is poured into one might
cause an explosion and loss OF life.
just before they receive the molten
metal the ladies are heated nearly
white hot In order that the steel or
Iron may not chill I'm them.
AS fast as they are filed the ladies'
are swung out over the ingot molds
and the liquid steel is run into them
and allowed to cool and take It's solid
form. II is as IL water were poured
into molds and set In a refrlgeratlng
machine to freeze into blocks OF Ice.
The only difference Is that the freez-
Ing point Of steel is away above the
boiling point Of water.
There are two other important
types Of steel furnaces-the cruclble
furnace and the electric furnace. In
both OF them the idea is to keep all
hurtful gases and other impurities out
and TO regulate the addition of alloys
and oxygen destroyers to a nicely. In
crucible furnace the metal Is placed
In graphite clay pots, covers are put
over them, and the pots subjected to
great heat. Silica is gradually alb
sorbed out OF the clay In the pots and
transformed Into silicon by coming
into contact with the carbon In the
steel. The silicon In It's turn absorbs
the oxygen and thus qulets the froth-
ing, foaming contents Of the kettle.
"The electric furnace acts In much
the same way, its heat being so pure
that there is no necessity OF putting
the steel In covered pots to keep out
gases and other impurities. An cleo
tric arc, established between huge
electrodes and the surface OF the
Stag, produces the heat In such a
furnace. by varying the materials
used In the formation OF the Stag any
impurity can be worked or and the
glowing steel left as pure as crystal.
The alloys are then mixed with the
steel and It is made 1T for any use
desired. II is drawn of into ladies'
and poured into ingot molds, where
II hardens, ready to be worked up In
to those things that constitute ihe last
word In fine steel"

HOW STEEL is MADE

In the two years since the end Of
hostlllties In the World war, the coun-
tries suffering most from the conflict
have been importing steel 10 the ex-
tent that their finances will permit !;
for this substance Is needed 10 patch
the Industrial injuries inflicted by the
war. Some OF the important methods
employed In the making of steel are
described in the following cOmnuni-
cation to the National Geographic
society. by william Joseph Shownlter;
"An Open-hearth furnace looks
good deal like an ordinary bake-oven;
but when one looks In through the
water-cOoed door, vast difference
appears. Instead Of pans OF fra
grant, fat lOaves Of baking bread.
there is an imposing pool Of fiery liq-
uld as bright as the filament OF a
high-power tungsten lamp, so dazzling
that It can be examined with safety
to the eyes only by those using col
ored glasses Tinted here and there
with streaks of soft blue and dainty
pink, II looks like melted stick candy.
"In preparing a battery of open
hearth furnaces for a charge. finely
ground dOlomlte Is shOveled I'm first.
This melts like glass and fills up all
cracks and crannles caused by the
powerful heat OF the preceding charge.
Then a little train rolls up before the
battery. and an electric crane dumps
box after box OF scrap metal from the
cars into the furnaces on some dis
lance is a great steel tank lined with
firebrick and full OF liquid pig metal.
when the scrap has melted aud the
contents Of the cauldron are cooked
enough; when the impurities have
been driven out and tolled away. the
fiery broth is seasoned as II were,
with the proper amount OF carbon
splegel, ferromanganese. tungsten, fer
rosllIcon, vanadlum, or whatever is
necessary TO give the desired char
acter TO the resulting steel.
Then comes the tapping Of the fur
mace. An electric crane lifts a great
ladle into position. a workman Jams
crowbar through a clay-plugged hole
at the base, and out flows the fren-
zied stream into the ladle. The Stag
rises 10 the top like oil on water and
oyeriiows. congealing on the outside
Of the ladle. Then the big crane picks

MEXICO. A MODERN BABEL

President Obregon, who has just
been installed as chief executive Of
the Republic of Mexico, rules over a
population OF many tongues. This
multiplicity OF languages Is not due 10
wholesale immigration as In the Unit
ed States but to failure TO "Mexi-
canlze" a large part of the Indian
populatlOn. The causes Of many OF
the revolutions which have disturbed
the progress of Mexico can be traced
TO this diversity Of tongues and the
differences I'm thought and Ideals that
necessarily follow.

bESSARABIA, SHAPED LIKE
A PITCHER WITHOUT
A HANDLE

houmania, since the conclusion OF
'he world war the largest of the
states OF southeastern Europe, owes
much OF this increased area TO its re-
cent annexation of Bessarabia, pre-
Vlously a part OF Russia.
Bessarabia, the former Russian
province lying between the Pruth and
the Dnlester rivers, and bounded ON
the south by the Danube and the
BLACK sea, might be likened In shape
to tall, slim pitcher, without a ham
die. 1t is completely bounded by wa
ter except at very narrow point at
the mouth of the pitcher. The Dnles-
ter river forms the eastern boundary
Of the province. Flowing out of the
crown lands at Galicia, the river runs
east In general direction for approx
mately fifty miles. Then Il turns
southeast for ninety miles to Dniester
bay, an arm Of the Black sea, some
hfteen miles from Odessa, Russla's
principal port on that inland body Of
water. The Pruth river, flowing out
OF Gallcla, runs east for about twenty
miles, then turns southeast for a hun
dred and ten miles, and then slightly
west Of south to Its confluence with
the Danube.
Bessarabla Is little smaller than
Vermont and New Hampshire togeth-
err Its greatest length IL 275 miles,
while Its greatest width is 175. II is
mostly fiat, except for some we'll
wooded off-shoots OF the Carpathian
mountains In the northwest. II might
be said to be the vineyard Of Russia,
being great producer Of wine. The
population Of 100000 is made up OF
Moldavlans, Little Russians Poles,
Roumanlans. Bulgarians, Jews, Arme-
mans, Greeks, and Tartars. More
than 100000 Of the inhabitants live
on the soil. The capital is Kishlnef.
which is located almost at the center
OF the province. To the west of Bes-
sarabla lies Roumanian Moldavla, and
to the east the Russian province Of
Podoga and Kherson.
The original inhabitants OF Bessa-
rabla are believed to have been Chm
merlans, after whom came the Scyth-
ians. Because 1t was the key to one
of the approaches toward the empire
Of Byzantium, the province was in
vaded by many successive races dur
Ing the early centuries OF the Chris
tian era. TraJan Incorporated IL with
The province OF Dacia, and In the next
century the Goths poured into IL, TO
be followed in turn by the Huns, and
Avars, and the Bulgarlans.
In the seventh century "A Thraclan
tribe, known as the Bessi, settled
there and gave 10 the land its name.
Between 1711 and 1912 II was the
great bone OF contention between the
Ottoman Turks and the Russians.
The Russians lost and recaptured II
five times I'm that century. After the
NapoleOnc wars, II was definitely an
nexed to Russia, and Its frontier
pushed southwark so as TO include
the delta OF the Danube.
AS result OF the Crlmean war,
Moldavla was given DobrudJa and
other territory, but under the treaty
of Berlin in 1873, following Russia's
mastery of Turkey and the congress
Of Berlin, Russia secured all OF the
territory east NJ the river Pruth. Bes-
sarabla rema'nc' part Of Russia
from that time until the dlsmember-
ment of the cars empire, following

Removing Dirt From Walls.

= Ordinary plastered and paper
ed walls and ceilings should be
cleaned with wall brush or a
broom covered with soft cloth,
such as cotton flannel. Light
overlapping strokes should be
used; heavy strokes rub the dirt
in. Cotton batting is good for
cleaning places that soil more
quickly than the rest-for ex-
ample, the wall over radiators,
registers and stoves. The wall
should be rubbed lightly with
the cotton, which should be turn
ed as it becomes soiIed.
There are commercial pastes
and powders for cleaning wall
papers, but, in general, these
should be applied only by an ex.
pert. An amateur is likely to
have a streaked wall if he at.
tempts to use them.
The so-called washable papers
used in kitchens and bathrooms
may be cleaned with a dampen.
ed cloth. but water must be used
sparingly; if it seeps in, the pa
per will be loosened. Varnish-
ing the paper in these rooms
will make it more nearly imper-
vious to moisture and steam and
will prevent it from peeling

When The Democratic Party Wilt
Be Dead
Gradyville, KY.

Editor News
This is a little poem that has
been published broadly since our
defeat last fall and for the ben
eft of those who think the Dem
ocrat party is dead, we want to
say that the party has, been de-
feated before, many times and
often yet, it has survived a half
dozen other parties.
From the day of the great JEFF
ferson through thick and thin in
defeat and victory, the Demo-
crat party has never thrown out
the flag of truce to any political
organization. Then for a fact,
friends, the following things
will have to happen before De-
mocracy will be dead:
When the terrarin knit wooden
socks
And the hare is outrun by the
snail;
When elephants walk upright
like men
And doodle bugs travel like
frogs;
When the grasshopper feeds on
the hen,
And feathers are found on the
hog. ...
When thomas cat swim in the
air,
And elephants roost upon trees,
When insects in summer are
rare,
And snuff never make people
sneeze;
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ride;
When the foxes lay in the land,
And women in dress take nc
pride.
When dutchman no longer beer
drink,
And girls get to preaching on
time:
When billy goats butt from the
rear,
And treason is no longer a crime
When the humming birds brays
! like a mule;
