THE IMMIGRATION BALANCE.

1t is good to learn that in the past ten
years the native population of the United
States has really gained on the foreign
population In the decade from 1910 to
1920 according to the new census report,
the foreign-born contingent increased
only about 100000 altogether, while the
native born increased about 1850, 900.
Moreover this natural increase in the
number of natives was almost exactly as
much as the entire foreign population
living in this country when the census
was taken last year.
The result was a reduction of the per-
centage of foreign-born from 14.5 per
cent in 1910 to 1897 per cent in 1920,
or a reduction of about one-tenth in the
proportion of foreigners to natives.
If this record were repeated for few
decades, there would be no foreign-born
in this country worth speaking of. That
would be unfortunate. in the long run.
America will always need some new
blood. For the present, however, the ma
jority of Americans are clearly in favor
of continuing the unintentional restric-
ton due to the war and holding down
the immigration a little while longer by
legislation. The country can well afford
to stand pat on the recent gains made by
the natives until such a permanent i'm
migration policy is worked out as will
guarantee the safety of American insti-
tutions and ideals hereafter and insure
that those foreigners who are admitted
viii find a country still worth being adj
mitted to.

The department of agriculture gives
the following timely advice Keep your
garden free of trash" Specialists of this
department place special emphasis on
this advice because neatness, cleanliness
and order in the garden help in the fight
against insects and plant diseases. They
recommend that the residue of a garden,
such as corstalks, tomato vines, potatoe
tops, etc, be burned promptly so that in
sects and disease spores may not be har-
bored by such rubbish. As soon as any
crop is gathered, remove the trash,
spade up the ground and plant something
else if not too late. Frequent cultivation
will also help to destroy weed seeds as
soon as they sprout.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"cocKNEY"

a S USED by writer's of the
4 n word "Cockney" meant a
molly-coddle, an effeminate per-
son. child that had been 'tcock-
led" or coddled too much by
its mother. Then. because the
men who lived in a city were sup
posed to be less virile and
strong than those who lived in
the country, the rural population
commenced to apply the term
TO residents of London and
other cities throughout Eng
land. Gradually this meaning
was restricted and localized I'M
til It was applicable only TO Lon
doners, or. as one writer of the
period phrases ii. particularly
to connote the characteristics in
which the born LOnd0ner is sup
posed to be inferior to other En-
glishmen." The opposite term
the one applied by the townsmen
to the farmer-was clown"
meaning a -lout, an uncouth, i'll
bred man.
Today, the name of Cockney
is applied generally TO London
ers but specifically to those of
certain station-'Arry and
'Arriet being typical Of the class
which is supposed TO drop its
his and TO replace them where
they do not belong. But any
one who has come in contact
with the C0ckney as he is today
will testify TO the fact that ii
is a far cry from him to the
"cockney" of the Elizabethan
period. The London Cockney
may not be well-educated or
super-refined in his speech-but
he is emphatically not a milk
sop.

England and Prohibitlon.

Strenuous efforts are being made i'm
England to put the booze business on a
plane so elevated that prohibition can
not topple it over - The abolition of
the common public house-the pub -
so -called-and of the lower type of tav-
ern is going on apace over there. Large
British brewers have combined to erect
and conduct inns in such a fashion that
people will find in them the kind of So
cial and literary centers our forefathers
found; eating and drinking places such
as Dickens and Samuel Johnson and
their fellows frequented -
The good old days no doubt sound
best when they re far away, but the
brewers are acting on the sentiment the
appeal holds. One large firm of manu-
facturers has awarded prizes TO young
architects for houses in which refresh
ments may be supplied au =" hours in a
clean, comfortable and cheerful environ
ment." There are rest and recreation
rooms included, with facilities fer let
ter writing, so that the work ugmaa
and his wife NAV use the tavern as
club.

THE JOB AND THE MAN

. NE of the greatest troubles with

n NE of the greatest troubles with
~ the average man is that he does
not get excited frequently enough.
Excitement is only MULTIPLIED
ENTHUSIASM.
The man who lacks enthusiasm
doesn't get far, whatever road he tray
els.
one of the chief faults of snail is
that it never has the sensation of ex-
element.
1t crawls along in a seemingly aim
less fashion, and having reached the
nowhere for which 1t was headed, ii
stops to contemplate its effectiveness.
Nobody is ever interested in a snail,
and only the dullard copies him.
If you want to see enthusiasm and
excitement in animal life, watch an
ant. Everything interests him. Every
thing has meaning for him. Every
thing he sees or feels is a matter of
investigation and study.
He is excited all the time and ac-
complishes something every minute.
Every boy and every man ought TO
be excited about what he is doing.
He should be so intensely interested
in it, so thoroughly in love with the
task and its accomplishment, that its
finish should find him thrilled with
enthusiasm.
Can you imagine Edison working
without enthusiasm and excitement?
Can you conceive the feverish eager
ness with which Calico worked
through the night on that first crude
telescope and with what excitement
he took his first look through it toward
the far-off stars? Yet that telescope
was not as powerful as the opera
glass you carry TO the theater.

ment Nine. Curie looked upon the
first tiny speck of radium which she
had distilled from the tons Of mate

ACCOMPLISHMENT
The real wages of work is the salts
faction of production.
The man who makes a machine Of
himself, who finds no interest and no
basis of enthusiasm in his daily task
is little better than the OK.
There is no labor so mental and no
task so hard that it has not in it
reason for enthusiasm.
The scrub woman whose knees are
calloused and whose arms ache from
her lowly labors may still find dis
tinct pleasure and an actual enthusi-
assn when she sees the glistening
cleanliness accomplished by her hands.
The teamster can be enthusiastic
about his horses and his wagon. The
office boy can get excited about the
rush of Business where he is employed.
Everybody has some reason to get en-
thusiastic and excited about their
work. If they have no reason they
are either following the wrong voca-
ton or they are looking on the world
and its doings with distorted vision.
If your present work doesn't en-
thuse you, if you cannot get excited
and happy about it, find something
else to do. Get another job. Find
something that will stir you up and
