THE HASkiN LETTER

Your attention is invited to the
daily letter by Frederic j. Haskin
which will appear regularly in The
Palladium. The author of this fea-
ture is a newspaper correspondent
whose special articles on current
affairs, politics, social economy,
travel and other subjects have been
given wide publication throughout
the United States in recent years.
In the course of his investiga-
tions he has been sent by the
great newspapers into all parts of
the world, and he has had the bene
fit of the most varied and extern
sive observation.
His work has invariably been
notable for care in securing facts
and for rare skill in narrating
them. 1t has won him the conf
dence of presidents, statesmen, dip
lomats and party leaders.
Written for busy people to read,
these letters are brief. accurate, in
structive and entertaining. They
deal with facts, rather than opin-
ions, and leave the reader to draw
his own conclusions.
The boy or girl who will read
these letters regularly, and who re-
tains even small portion of the
information they contain, will soon
have a fund of knowledge of gen.
eral affairs which will prove a val
| liable addition to a scholastic edu-
| cation.
The man or woman who will
keep a scrap-book of these letters
will soon have a most valuable ad,
! dition to a reference library.
Read these articles for a while
and you will get the habit.
The Haskin letter has more regu
lar readers than any other daily
newspa per feature in the United
States.

be pleasant for the United States, but
it is fine for the immigrants. No
wonder our latest alien newcomers are
not worried about finding jobs. They
have the strength Of their respective
nations behind them.

The Immigrant Finds a Backer

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The wide

in this country is proving no check
to the incoming tide of aliens. The

similar, if less desperate, depression
here.
While most of them are destined to
join friends or relatives, the great
majority have no definite assurances
that they will be able to obtain work.
The absence of any such support,
however. does not seem to bother
them. They are more than willing to
take their chances with the 100000
Americans now out of jobs. Their

a case of jumping from the frying pan

National headquarters of the Knights
of Columbus is organizing for the

launched by the X. of c. on Septem-
Der 1st. The contest, which carries
prizes totalling $500. is the largest
of its kind to be organized in this
country, and is aimed to produce chap
tiers of American history which the
K of c. will distribute in their
S1.000,000 campaign to popularize the
study of the country's story from
original sources.
Supreme Secretary William j. Nc.
Ginley, of New York, has selected a
special staff of workers to receive and
give preliminary readings to the avail
anche of manuscripts which it is
expected the contest will produce.
To Stimulate Interest.
It is expected that upwards of 100,-
900 college students receiving history

Knights through their 1000 subordin-
ate council units to encourage enroll
ment in the contest among public

Plight Not so Bad.
| Thus il may be seen that the plight
of the newly arrived immigrant is by
no means as narrowing as some are
wont to depict it. Compare it, indeed,
| with the lot of the average unemploy-
ed American workman, who, lacking
! this racial clanishness, is an isolated
unit in the community, and its superior
advantages will be apparent.
| In the past, perhaps, before large
| foreign colonies were built up in all of
our big cities, the immigrants struggle
was unduly arduous, but since the war,

The Homeland Helps.
Before the war, the chief European
nations were too powerful and SELF
lcomplacent to worry over the emigra-
ton of their surplus population. The
Western Hemisphere, they felt, was
more than welcome to it. There was,
/ they decided, no necessity for def
mite emigration policy. The war, how
ever. revealed two disagreable facts /;
that each nation was harboring dis
loval aliens within it's borders, and
that it's own loyal sons on foreign
soil had been ignored until they We're
