EUCENICs AND OUR
IMMIGRATION LAWS

Recognition by congress that imlni-
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 DR.. 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
eign elements which are beneficial to.
our people and those which are HARM
full. 80
'"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 It
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 emf
nently susceptible to control. All the,
nations Of the world have been con-.
tributing elements to our population;
aid we have now, and now only, the
opportunity Of studying the process Of
absorption before it is complete.
'"The grand spectacle is presented
to our eyes Of n 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 IL of the greatest cOnse-
.quence to- us that the final result
should be the evolution of a higher
and nobler type of man in America,
and not deterioration of the nation.
ITO this end the process of evolu-
ton should be carefully studied, and
then controlled by suitable immfgra-
ton laws tending to eliminate unde-
sirable ethical elements, and to stim-
ulate the admission of elements as
Simulated readily, by our population.
and that tend to raise the standard.

HOW STEEL Is MADE

In the two years since the end Of
hOstilities in. the World war; the cOun-
tries suffering most from the, conflict
have been importing steel to- the ex-
tent that their finances will permit;
for this substance is needed to patch
the industrial injuries inflicted by the.
war. Some Of the important methods
employed in the making Of steel are
described in the following commune
catiOn to the National Geographic
society, by William Joseph. Showalter:
g IAN open-hearth furnace looks a
good deal like an ordinary bake-oven;
but when one looks in through the
watcr-cooled door, vast difference
appears. Instead Of pans of fra
grant, fat loaves of baking bread,
there IL an imposing pool Of fiery liq-
uidUas bright as the filament Of a.
hlgh-power tungsten lamp, so dazzling
that 1t 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, 1t looks like melted stick candy.
I'm preparing a battery Of open
hearth furnaces for a charge, finely
ground dol0mite is shoveled In first.
This melts like glass and fllls up all
cracks and crnnnies caused by the
powerful heat Of the preceding charge:
Then 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 and the
contents Of the cauldron are cooked
enough; when the Impurities have
been driven out and tolled away, the
fiery broth Is seasoned % It were,
with the proper amount Of carbon,
spiegel, ferrOmanganese, tungsten, fer
srosilicon, vanadium. or whatever Is
necessary to give the desired char
acter to the resulting steel. Il

lied stream into the ladle. The Stag

up the ladle, swings It over q. the
pouring platform, where 1t, In It's turn,
is tapped and its purified fluid run
OF into molds.
Great care has to be taken In han
ding these ladies. 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 in them.
"As fast as they are filled the ladies'.
are swung out over the ing0t molds.
and the liquid steel is run into them
and allowed to cool and take it's solid
form. 1t is us IL water were poured
into molds and set In q refrigerating
machine to freeze into blocks Of Ice.
The only difference is that the 'freex-
ing point of steel is away above. the
boiling point Of water.
There are two other important
types of steel furnaces-the crucible
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 ab-
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 Its turn abs0rbs
the oxygen and thus quiets the froth-s
ing. foaming contents Of the kettle.
1.-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 ont
gases and other impurities. An elec-
trio arc, established between huge
electrodes and the surface Of the
Stag, produces the heat in such al
furnace. By varying the materials
used in the formation of the Stag any
impurity can be worked off and the
glowing steel left as pure as crystal.
The alloys are. then mixed with the
steel and it is made At for any use
desired. It Is drawn of into ladies'
and poured into ingot molds, where
1t hardens. ready to be worked up Inc
to those things that constitute the last
word in fine steel.''

MEXICO: A MODERN BABEL

President Oregon, who has lust
been installed as chief executive of
the Republic Of Mexico. rules over u
population of many tongues. This
multiplicity of languages is not due to
wholesale immigration us In the Unit
ed States, but to failure to "Mexi-
canize" u large part Of the Indian
population. 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 in thought and ideals that
necessarily follow.

BEssARABIA: SHAPED LIKE
A PITCHER WITHOUT
A HANDLE

R0umHniA, since the CONCLUSION OF
the World war, the largest Of the
states Of southeastern Europe, owes
much of this increased area to its re-
cent annexation of Bessarabia, pre-
viously part of Russia.
Bessarabia, the former Russian
province lying between the Pruth and
the Dniester rivers and bounded on
the south by the Danube and the
Black sea, might be likened in shape
to tall, slim pitcher, without han.
die. 1t is completely bounded by wa
ter except ut a very narrow point at
the mouth of the pitcher. The Dnies-
ter, river forms the eastern boundary
of the province. Flowing out of the
crown lands ut Galicla, the river runs
east in general direction for approx
mately fifty miles. Then it turns
southeast for ninety miles to Dniester
bay, an arm of the Black sea. some
fifteen miles from Odessa, Russia's
principal port on that inland body of
water. The Pruth river, flowing out
Of Galicia, runs east for about twenty
miles, then turns southeast for q hum
dred and ten miles. and then slightly
west of south to it's confluence with
the Danube.
Bessarabia Ia a little smaller than
Vermont and New Hampshire togeth-
err. Its greatest length is 275 miles,
while its greatest width is 175. 1t, is
mostly flat, except for some we'll
wooded off-shOots of the Carpathian
mountains in the northwest. 1t might
be said to be the vineyard of Russia,
being great producer of wine. The
population of 2.5OO,OOO is made up Of
Moldavians, Little Russians, Poles,
ltoumanianss Bulgarians. Jews, Arme-
mans, Greeks, and Tartars. More
than 2,OOO0OO Of the inhabitants live
OH the soil. The capital is Kishinef,
which is located almost ut the center
of the province. To the west of Bes-
sarabia lies Roumanian Moldavia, and
to the east the Russian province of
Podolia and Kherson.
The original inhabitants of Bessa-
rabia are believed to have been CHM
merians, 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
tinn era. Trajnn incorporated it with
the province of Dacia, and in the next
century the Goths poured into it, to
he followed in turn by the Huns, and
Avars, and the Bulgarians.
In the seventh century IL Thraclan,
tribe, known us the Bessi, settled
there and gave to the land its name.
Between I'LL and 1912 it was the,
great bone of contention between the
Ottoman Turks and the Russians.
The Russians lost and recaptured 1t
five times in that century. After the
Nap0leonic wars, 1t was definitely IN
neXed to Russia, and its frontier
pushed southwark so as to include
the delta of the Danube.
AS result of the Crimean war,
MOldavia was given DObrudja and
other territory. but under the treaty
of Berlin in 1873, following Russians
mastery Of Turkey and the congress
of Berlin. Russia secured all of the
territory east of the river Pruth. Bes-
sarabia remained part of Russia
from that time until the dismember-
ment of the cars empire. following
the Russian revolution.

his hand on the door Of his car.
"It's about great pal Of mine.

and half dragging, half carrying his
