A HOLIDAY wELcoME:-

For months we have placed a limit on
the number of aliens who can enter the
country, after it has been determined
that they meet the desirability require
ments. This restriction has served to
keep out millions who would otherwise
have f1ocked to this country. That we
have checked the tendency of large
number of those who would have been
anxious to get away from European
countries and the conditions following
the war will not be disputed. The fact
that employment conditions were not
good in this country would have made
no difference. The ideas gained regard
ing this land Of plenty would have been
sufficient to counterfeit any temporary
condition, and the chance to have gotten
in WOULD have been improved That the
country is the better for the restrictions
must be admitted. With the reduction
in admissions and the increase in the eff
forts for Americanization better results
should be shown in the assimilation Of
those that have been admitted.
With the coming of Christmas there
were thousand immigrants held at FL
lis island because of the monthly quota
regulation. 1t didn't take much to real
lie that Il would be far pleasanter for
them anc their relatives if they were
released. temporarily at least. but It
would have been a matter easily lost
sight of in the rush of such business.
Happily it was not. Secretary Of Labor
Davis realized their predicament under
stood that they were there in all probable
.ty through no fault of their own and in
view of the fact that the monthly quota
was simply a regulation and not law
he lifted it in their cases for period
Of three months and they were allowed
their liberty in this country.
What the three months will bring forth
no one knows. They are subject Of
course to return and be deported if such
Is the decision reached. Whether they
will ever be recalled Is a question. 1t IS
possible for congress to authorize their
admission and such a plan may go
through. At any rate they have had a
chance to spend Christmas with relatives
and in the remainder of their 80 days
will have a chance to see and under
stand more about the country.

READ YOUR CHARACTER

Clothing

Clothing
How much of mans character can
you. read by his clothing?
Has q woman's fur coat any signifi-
canoe to you other than the fact that
it is fur coat of probably such and
such a price?
Of course, it goes without saying
that a person who is neat in his or
her attire is likely to be neat and or
derby in all things. The simplest of
mental processes tell us that. But the
analysis can be carried a great deal
further.
For the most part the significance
of the clothing is of the negative
kind. but none the less valuable in
helping US to arrive at character I'M
Outstanding. Clothing, for instance,
Smay not prove selfishness, but it can
disprove it, for though people who
dress luXuriously are not necessarily
selfish, yet selfish people nearly al
ways crafty themselves by dressing
well. So if you see q man whom you
you suspect of being selfish. look at
his clothes. If he doesn't put good
clothes on his back he's not selfish,
though he may be avariciouS (there' s
quite a difference in the meaning of
those two words).
Refinement may be clad in thread
bare clothing, but that clothing is near
ly always well fitting and well brush
ed. Vivid colors nearly Always go with
vanity. Conservative, sober clothing is
an evidence of prudence. Prudent peo-
pie don't always dress this way, of
course, but those who do usually are
| prudent.
Carelessness of dress will tell you
little. 1t may be due to so many causes,

THE FOREST SERVICE.

of the forestry bureau from the depart

who feel quite az strongly as he does
hat there should be no such move made
but that the forestry bureau should re-
main where It is and where it has been
soing its best work since the scandal
that stirred the country back in 1905
when it was placed under the agricul-
lural department.
There should be no backward move

that Is what might be expected should

Forestry ia only one form Of agri-
culture and it is of the utmost import

WHERE OPPOSITION is NEEDED.

High in the list of the things that are
sure to bring forth a protest is child
labor. It is proper that it should be.
Child labor Is not what it has been, al
though there are plenty of places whers
there is a grand opportunity for better
nent. Reforms in this direction have
been many and happily they are still be-
ing urged.
The national child labor committee
which is carrying on 2 powerful work
has been directing attention to The long
hours and the Injurious work that is re-
7uired of children. No one will sub
scribe TO the idea that there should be
en- play and no work. any more than
.hey viii endorse the plan Of all work
and no play. There is value attached to
the plan Of keeping idle hands out of
mischief and IN teaching them personal
responsibility but that does not justify
the employment of small children at
hard labor during long hours or at work
tra- is likely 10 prove injurious. For
That reason the national child labor COM
mittse is engaged IN a most praisewor-
thy effort
There are states where the eondt-
lions in regard to child labor are regret
table. They are some better than they
have been but they need to undergo rad
Ical Improvement and It is only by the
constant effort Of the opponents Of child
abor that It will finally be obtained.
The southern states are the worst in re-
gard 70 child employment. They not
only believe in it and practice it, but
they resist in every way the efforts to
stop it. Government reports would also
indicate that the beet fields of the west
showed many under IS At work there and
more than 200 under 10, but when Il
is also shown that one child in eight is
employed in agriculture it. is evident
that such employment does not consti-
tute steady work for long hours the year
around. Whether it is on the farm or
In the city the child that has certain

- not being harmed If common sense is
lsed Rather Is he getting training that
Is for his own good.
Such however can hardly constitute the
,hild labor against which organized eff
forts are being made. Denying children
a proper schooling and putting them &c
work along with their elders because
their labor Is cheap is what is opposed
and it certainly calls for the strongest
kind of opposition.

department where regrettable conditions
developed before.
1t is difficult to see where any advan-
tage would be gained by the proposed
transfer, and if there is no advantage
in the change the sensible course seems
to be to indicate approval of the better
ed conditions and hope through a con-
tinuance of the same policies to witness
a steady improvement.
At the time of the transfer of the bu-
reau there appeared to be in danger the
best interests of the country in regard
to forest lands. Never was there a time
when there was need for closer attention
to our timber supply for the future than
exists right now. We need to give it all
possible encouragement and protection

to consider well what is involved before
any questionable legislation is given ap-

FROM LUCILLE'S DIARY

Ever since Burling Preston and
Jimmie Hayslettes set up their bache
lor apartment have been wishing
to make some little contribution to
their housekeeping and the other day
when I was having afternoon tea
with Nell Clay, I asked her for the
recipe for the delicious marmalade she
always serves with tiny slices of toast
at her teasI thought few glasses
of it would be just the thing to give
the boys.
Its an old family goody that we
are rather chary Of said Nell, smiling
at me- It's sort of Clay speciality.
I'd love to give you glass of it, Lu-
Gle, but it's one of the traditions OF
the clan to keep a few of our. French
great grandmother's delicacies' secret.
well, of course, had 1 know twas
an ancestral rite Ishould not have
asked you for the rule, Nell l said
laughingly. It's so very nice that
thought 1 should like to make some
to give away to some friends of mine
who couldn't possibly make any such
toothsome dainty for themselves, but
I can make something else for them
all right, poor dears.'
"Oh, if you want it for charitable

danger of it's becoming common.
suppose we are a little ridiculous about
our heirloom recipes.
The making of that marmalade, with
all it's different fruits to be prepared
in different ways, proved to be hard
task for me, and l found it necessary
to enlist the help of Cousin Fannie, tc
whom cooking comes naturally. Indeed
l became so nervous by the time thai
we finally got it on the stove for the
last boiling that 1 simply had to e.
upstairs and lie down with a book t.
soothe myself.
I had read only one chapter wher
l had to rise to answer the telephone
1t was Aunt Rachel wanting Cousin
Fannie to meet her in one of the store!
to help her select new furs.
