Bear river marshes continues to grow
until about the first Of September;
during the latter part Of August the
increase is rapid, as hordes Of young
ducks that have been reared on the
uplands and along small streams and
lakes in the mountain valleys begin
to arrive. Between the 1st and 10th
of September there is sudden dimi-
mutton in the numbers and at this
time fully twO-thirds of the ducks
leave the marsh The sudden disap-
pearance of numbers of the ducks Is
noticeable and cannot fail to attract
one closely in touch with the daily
course of the wild life on the marsh.
The exodus seems to take place at
night, and bays and lagoons that one
day are banked solidly with rank
after rank of resting foul may "a
hours later show individuals only in
tens where before they were repre-
sented in hundreds. That this migra-
ion is to distant points seems Ger
.ain.

THE LIPS DENOTE
Lips that curve upward denote friv-
olity.
Beware Of the under lip that rolls
outward.
Unusually red lips indicate cruelty
and rapacity.
If woman's lips droop at the cor
ners her husbands life will be per
petual mourning.
The short upper lip with a depres-
sion beneath the nose and an upward
inclination at the corners, complete
the merry mouth.
Cleopatran lips, dark red and full.
which take their name from the fa
nous Egyptian queen, denote cruel
and vicious disposition.
If the corners dimple deeply as they
turn upward, the lips are quick in
repartee. Love and rldicule will be
strong, but not in a malicious vein.

ably, Massachusetts stands fifth among

THE IMMIGRATION 81 Ii.

The new immigration bill went into
t'cG May 28th and will continue in full
force until June 80, 1922
Under its terms, immigration from any
country dIrlDg the period it is III force is
limited to per cent. of the number of
l immigrants from that country who are
al ready here, as recorded in the census of
l9 10. The question has been raised why
III census of 1910 was ken as the ba-
81 of computations rather than the CEN
SD of 1920; but, at the timie the bill YVES
be ing framed, the details of the 1920 CEN
su were not accessible. If 1920 had been
ia ken as the basis, the sliotments to diff
fe rent countries would have varied some
" hat, but the aggregate would have been
very nearly the same, for the official fig
ures, Just published, show that the total
increase Of the alien born population from
1910 to 1920 was only 358, 442, while dur
IN 6 the preceding decade it was nearly
ten times as creator, to be exact, was
5,l5l, 728. The per cent. limit mean
that the total number of immigrants who
VIII be permitted to enter the country
during the next year is about 350000
The new law marks new departure n
national policy. Hitherto, the incomi ng
floods of immigrants have been regarded
rather with satisfaction as proof Of the
extent to which the foreign born recog-
nized the superior opportunities for ad-
vancement which this country afforded.
But the experience of the last few years
has taught US that there are immigrants
and immigrants; and that, while large
proportion of the newcomers might have
the making of industrious and worthy cit
lZens, an unrestricted lmmigrat ton, under
conditions now prevailing in Europe,
would precipitate upon us problems too
serious to be lightly accepted. The over
whelming majorities by which the re-
strictlon bill passed both houses of Con-
gress-in the Snate with only a single
dissenting vote-are sufficient proof that
the need of restriction was fully appreci-
