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 to
wholesale immigration as in the Unit
ed States, but to a failure to "Mexi-
canize" a 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.
'From Sonora to Yucatan, more
than fifty separate dialects are
spoken" writes Frederick Simpich in
a communication to the National Geo
graphic society.
"All the inhabitants of the West
Coast, however, with the exception
of some hill tribes of Indians can un-
derstand Spanish.
'Of these Indians the 5000 Yaquis,
with their crude Bacatete hill forts,
their weird ceremonial masque dances
and their warlike attitude, are easily
most conspicuous. Many are enlisted
with the federal army or employed as
ranch hands and mine or railroad la
borers.
''The Yaquis with the federal troops
are termed 'Manzos,' or tame Yaquis
those in the hills, wild and hostile,
are the Bronchos' The latter are a
vagrant lot, robbing ranches for food
and animals, carrying rawhide drums
and waser gourds, wearing sandals of
green cowskin-living by their wits.
Pressed by hunger, they subsist as
well on burros as beef.
''These burros, the short and sim
pie animals Of the poor thrive by the
thousand on the West Coast. Many

EUGENICS AND OUR
IMMIGRATION LAWS

Recognition by congress that immi-
grafton constitutes one of the great
est of the after-war problems of the
United States makes timely a sugges-
ton in regard to controlling the great
influx of foreigners to this country,
advanced by DR.. Alexander Graham
Bell, i'll a communication to the Ma
tional Geographic society.
"Why should not congress provide
for an ethnical survey of the people
Of the United States" he asks.
"We should have definite and reli-
able information concerning those for
eign elements which are beneficial to
our people and those which are harm
full.
'The problem Of improving a race
Of human beings is most perplexing
one to handle. The process of i'm
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 i'm
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
to our eyes Of a 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 is 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.
''To this end the process of evolu-
tion should be carefully studied, and
then controlled by suitable immigra-
ton laws tending to eliminate unde-
sirable clinical elements, and to stim-
ulate the admission of elements as
simulated readily by our population.
and that tend to raise the standard
of manhood here"

is tapped and its purified fluid run
off into molds.
Great care has to be taken in ham
ding these ladies, for the presence of
a 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 ingot molds
and the liquid steel is run into them
and allowed to cool and take its solid
form. 1t is as if water were poured
into molds and set in a refrigerating
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 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
a 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 its turn absorbs
the oxygen and thus Quiets 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 off and the
glowing steel left as pure as crystal.
The alloys are then mixed with the
steel and it is made fit for any use
desired. It Is drawn off into ladies'
and poured into ingot molds, where
it hardens, ready to be worked up In
to those things that constitute the last
word In fine STEEL"

HOW STEEL is MADE

In the two years since the end of
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 communi-
cation to the National Geographic
society, by William Joseph Showalter: :
"An open-hearth furnace looks a
good deal like an ordinary bake-oven; !;
but when one looks in through the
water-cooled door, a vast difference
appears. Instead of pans of fra
grant, fat loaves of baking bread,
there is an imposing pool Of fiery liQ-
uid 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, it looks like melted stick candy.
"In preparing a battery Of open
hearth furnaces for a charge, finely
ground dolomite Is shoveled In first
This melts like glass and fills up all
cracks and crannies 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. Off some dis
tance is a great steel tank lined with
friedrich 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 as it were,
with the proper amount of carbon,
spiegel, ferromanganese, tungsten, fer
rosilicon, vanadium, 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
a crowbar through clay-plugged hole
at the base, and out flows the fren-
zied stream into the ladle. The Stag
rises to the top like Oil on water and
overfows, congealing on the outside
of the ladle. Then the big crane picks

And everyone smiled and cried with
joy as the cool waters of Mother
Ocean refreshed them.
"Just suppose" said one of the
waves who had wandered off, "that
we had never come back! We would
have been so unhappy and we wouldn't
have been of the slightest use. Here
is where we can do our part on the
long, hot days and when it is cold we
can rest and play and laugh and sing
of all the joy we give when it is
warm"
Home" said another one of the
waves, "home, ocean home, is the
place for the waves and let every
one hear our story so those who may
think that they must go out into the
world and over the earth in order to
be great and fine and in order to be
happy will hear that it is at home that
they can be greatest giving simple
happiness to many"
Mother Ocean gave great ball that
night. The wind came and danced
and sang, the waves all danced, the
sea-shells laughed and sang and
through it all Mother Ocean kept
smiling and singing to herself:
Away from home,
They wanted to roam,
Away from the ocean deep.
And did not say No.
But l let them go,
Though many salt tears did ! weep,
But now they are home,
They no longer will roam,
Away from the ocean deep,
And they will say No.
If suggest that they go,
So now 1 can sing and not weep"
And ever since that day none of the
waves have ever wanted to leave their
Mother Ocean to adventure over the
earth. And if you will listen to them
Is they are having their make-believe
fights with the rocks or having a
great old argument with Mr.. Wind or
playing hide-and-go-seek with the Mist
Grandchildren you will notice that
their voices are glad and gay and mer-
ry and that they do not sound as
though they wanted to leave the
ocean.
And they sound as though they so
much enjoyed their ocean life.
If ever any other waves grow tired
they ask to hear old Mother Oceans
story Of the adventures of the waves
who left the ocean; and when the
story is over they sing to Mother
Oceans great delight this song:
Away from home,
Wen never roam!
Well always happy be,
For the deep blue sea,
Is the place that we
Love, and our dear King Foam!
And Mother Ocean we adore,
Wen never leave as those waves of yore,
Who so unhappy were away
Longing for the ocean night and dayv'
And since that time they never have
left Mother Ocean!

BESSARABIA: SHAPED LIKE
A PITCHER WITHOUT
A HANDLE

Roumania, since the conclusion of
the World war, the largest of the
states of southeastern Europe, owes
much of this increased area to it's re-
cent annexation of Bessarabia, pre-
viously a 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 ham
die. 1t is completely bounded by wa
ter except at 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 at Galicia, 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 hun
dred and ten miles, and then slightly
west of south to it's confluence with
the Danube.
Bessarabia is a little smaller than
Vermont and New Hampshire togeth-
er. Its greatest length is 275 miles,
while its greatest width is IT'S. 1t is
mostly fiat, except for some we'll

mountains in the northwest. 1t might
be said to be the vineyard Of Russia.
being a great producer of wine. The
population of 100000 is made up Of
Moldavians, Little Russians, Poles,
Roumanians, Bulgarians, Jews, Arme-
mans, Greeks, and Tartars. More
than 100000 of the inhabitants live
on the soil. The capital is Kishinef,
which is located almost at the center
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 Cim-
merians, after whom came the Scyth-
ians. Because it 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 it with
the province of Dacia, and in the next
century the Goths poured into it, to
be followed in turn by the Huns, and
Avars, and the Bulgarians.
In the seventh century a Thraelan
tribe, known as 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 it
Napoleonic wars, it was definitely an
nexed to Russia, and its frontier
pushed southwark so as to include
the delta of the Danube.
AS a result of the Crimean war,
Moldavia was given Dobrudja and
other territory. but under the treaty
of Berlin in 1878, following Russia's
mastery of Turkey and the congress
of Berlin, Russia secured all of the
territory east of the river Pruth. Bes-
sarabia remained a part of Russia
from that time until the dismember-
ment of the cars empire, following
the Russian revolution.
