RESTRICTION WORKING WELL

For number Of months now the re- strictive immigration law has been in effect. Attention to the change has been directed chiefly to the manner in which it was being enforced and the hardships that were imposed upon those coming to the shores because of the lack of understanding of the failure to give sufficient publicity to the manner in which the bars had been put up.
 From the standpoint of the effect the regulation is having it is interesting tII note that Cor @ fsioner Husband of the immigration bureau finds that the re- striction is having the desired effect, tha tthe unskilIed labor IS almost shut off and that these coming now are al most identical with the tide of immigra- tion for the two decades before 1900, and because of the quota arrangement | coming mostly from northern Europe. 1 What this means IS shown by the com missioner's report wherein he says, I'm migrants from northern Europe are mainly professional persons, small bus 1 mess men, farmers and clerks"
 | This would indicate a higher type of 1 immigrant but what seems to be quite as important is the fact that those who are coming are not settling in the con- gested centers but are apparently look ing for an oDortunity to grow up and develop with the country elsewhere
 This seems to be indicated by his re- port to the effect that Few of the i'm migrants now propose to remain perma- nently in the city. A large !roportion are going west of the Alleghenies The number of farmers is very large"
 The immigration law is for a limited period intended to meet conditions fol lowing the war, and considering thC amount of unemployment here at the present time it would appear that it was
 doing well, especially when the norma
 flow of immigration is about a hall
 million a year of unskilIed workers.

Tongue Glove.

A glove for the tongue has been
newly patented by Galley Guise OF
Riley, Ind. He calls it a tongue
shield" and it is designed to enable
the wearer to escape the unpleasant
ness Of castor oil or other bad tasting
medicine.
/: The co~ntrivance might be said to
have the shape Of a miniature slip
per without any heel portion, but when
paeed over the tongue Is inverted.
The tongue is inserted into, the "toe"
part and the back part of the sole
extends over the top Of the tongue to-
ward the throat.
The device is made Of thin sheet
rubber, so as to be liquid proof, and
ia so constructed as to fit the tongue
snugly without discomfort. When
medicine Is taken it passes into the
throat without affecting the sense OF
taste, so that all unpleasantness Is OBJ
waited.

MAXIM Gorkyn a Pseudonym.

Maxim Gorky," who was reported
to be on his way to England on q
visit to H. @. Wells, but Is still held
I'D by the Bolshevist authorities on the
frontier, is Alexei Pyeshkof, the poet
and chronicler Of pariahs and vaga'
bonds Of Russian society.
"Gorky" means "bitter." The full
name, Maxim Gorky," may, perhaps
be read to mean "the bitterest Of the
bitter" The pseudonym effectively
symbolizes Pyeshkof's attitude to
ward life, for his fiction Is distilled es
sence Of the disappointed.
He was not at first a Bolshevik, and
he seems only to have Joined the Boil

BIG WASTE OF GOOD Fooy
Sudden Cold Snap Trapped Millions OF
Herring in Narrow Neck OF
Alaskan Harbor.

What is declared by Captain Brunn
and officers Of the steamship North
western to be the greatest fish tragedy
ever enacted, to human knowledge, oc-
Cured ut Rawack bay. Prince d
Wales island, January 80, when at one
stroke more than 2,OOO,O0o,0oO good
sized herring lost their lives, a Ketchi-
kan (Alaska) dispatch to the New
York Sun states. The crew related
their remarkable experience Of sail
ing through miles of dead fish.
They said Klawack bay was full OF
herring three days before the North
western arrived, when a sudden freeze
caught the fish in the narrow-necked
harbor before they could escape to
sea. The freeze came with great sud-
denness and severity and about SIX
inches Of ice formed in the harbor.
Millions of herring at the entrance
could be seen dumbly fighting to get
out to sea before the inclosed waters
were frozen.
1T may sound like a fish story" said
Mr.. Bradovich, but the fact Is that
the greatest chance in the world for
obtaining good fish without a stroke
Of work was lost. For days a few
persons tried to put some of the her
ring away for the summer, but made
no inroads on the supply. The near
est Indians, who would have appre'
ciated the fish, we're 300 miles away. =

Rabbit Leather.

Samples of rabbit leather recently
sent to this country from Australia
have been examined and tested by the
United States bureau of standards.
with a view to determining the utiliza-
bility Of such skins for shoe uppers or
other purposes.
The leather was found to- have only
about one-fourth the strength of calf
skin and to tear rather easily. It has a
great advantage in point Of cheapness
and might perhaps serve for uppers Of
fancy shoes that are not expected to
stand much wear. The experts are Of
the opinion that 1t could be used to
advantage for Innings and novelties.
