 the Fate It Deserved

Nn R. WILSON>>killed the immi- WU grafton bill with a pocket veto. The country will applaud, be- cause the bill was not an honest one It straddled the problem and did not face it.
 The bill would have admitted per cent of the foreigners here in 1910 .sccording to nationality. Such bill would have let in more Europeans from southern Europe and the Slay

countries than from Scandinavia and the English-speaking nations. The question of fitness was eliminated by bill of that character. In fact, it's tendency was to give the country more of those difficult of assimila- tion and fewer of those who soon drop into American ways and already speak or quickly learn the English language.
 Sooner or later the immigration problem will have to be considered on its merits. When that is done, there will be no percentages, but drastic application of certain rules of fitness to each newcomer. That is the sim plest of methods, the easiest of oper- ation and the only one that is fair to America.
 This country has plenty of room for the fit, but not an acre or job should be turned over to the unfit.

 Deserved Recognition
 of MT. Harding's Work TT7HE report from Washington that U President Harding will retain W. P. c. Harding of Birmingham as governor of the federal reserve board, is a fine testimonial to the services and ability of Alabama's dis tinguished banker. It also shows patriotic and magnanimous desire on the part of the President to take the federal reserve board out of politics.
 If this determination of the Presi- dent is carried out it will be highly creditable to him and to his admins tration, and it will assuredly do much ito strengthen public confidence in the board itself. The wisdom of estab- fishing the federal reserve board has already been proved. It is one of the strongest achievements of the Wilson administration. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that many of Mir. Wilson's appointments were severely censured, MT. Harding has won the respect of the entire country by his able direc- tion of the board since he became gov ernor. The only attacks he has been subject to came from interests who could not conceal their own selfish motives.
 The federal reserve board should be made nonpartisan. Its duties are such that it's usefulness will be i'm paired or enhanced according as it is kept free from political influences. Although Mir. Harding would receive much larger salary by going into private business, his friends know that he takes justifiable pride in the success of the federal reserve board and if President Harding should re- appoint him when his present term expires, it is probable that he would accept.

Building Boom

T don't think I have ever seen as many new houses going up as at the present time," said J. w. Wedgeworth.
 Tt seems that everywhere you look there iss lumber, and on the car .ine they seem to spring up overnight. Practically all of the new houses being erected are small, and it Is apparent that large houses are no longer wanted, for aousekeepers are trying to have them as small and convenient as possible.
 The servant problem ise largely re- sporsibls for this step. in my opinion. and with small. modern and convenient homes few servants are needed"

Good Showing

Poll taxes collected in Jefferson county during 1920 amounted to $41,- 1877 said James F. Hawkins, county tax collector
 The last payment on this was for- warded to Montgomery several days ago. While the amount is not as large as that collected in 1919, there was a large portion of the taxes that year which was for back taxes. many men paying their poll tax for as far back as 1901.
 Considering everything, we think this was splendid showing and the ertire amount will go to the schools of the county

TWO KINDS OF BOOKS

By Thomas Carlyle.
 I do not know whether it has suffi- ciently been brought home to you that there are two kinds of books. When a man is reading on any kind of~subtect, in most departments of books--in all books, if you take it in wide sense-- he wilkfind that there is division into good books and bad books I am not to assume that you are unacqua in ted, or i'll acquainted, with this plain fact; but I may remind you that it is becom- ing a very important consideration in our day. And we have to cast aside altogether the idea people have, that if they are reading any book, that if an ignorant man is reading any book, he is doing rather better than nothing at all. I must entirely call that in ques- tion. l even venture to deny that. It would be much safer and better for many reader that he had no concern with books at all.

Fourth avenue from Eighteenth location of new white way" said Joe Haverty of the Haverty Furniture company.
 Arrangements are now being made along both sides of Fourth avenue be- tween these two streets.
 This thoroughfare is to be part of the heart of the retail business dis trict within a very short space of years in my opinion. The white way lights will be here ready for the re- tail district of the new day.

JAPANESE ADVERTISING

From the Manchester Guardian.
 Judging from some specimens quoted not long ago in the Journal des De- bats, the Japanese employ a wealth of metaphor when advertising their wares A Tokio stationer announces that 'the paper sell is as solid as the hide of an elephant" fishmonger promises to deliver all orders to GUS toners houses with the rapidi.y of a shot fired from rifle" My extra special vinegar a grocer declares, "is as sour as the tongue of the most shrewish mother-in-law.- A large multiple shop begs the public to Come into our stores. You will meet with an overwhelming welcome. Our assis- tants are as amiable as a father who is endeavoring to marry off his daugh- ters without giving them any dowry. You will always be greeted as cordial ly as spell of sunshine coming to- wards the close of pouring wet day.1

Signs of Spring

"A series of incidents yesterday led me to believe that spring is really on the way" said Fred G. Anderson.
 "A next door neighbor of mine re- ported that her bed of tulips were an inch above the ground. One of my kids said he saw several robins dur ing the afternoon, and I noticed in the morning paper that the motorcycle cops were getting ready to order their summer uniforms.

Girls! Look Out

For soap and water when you wash
your face. They invariably cause
chapped skin, chapped lips and give your
complexion a rough appearance. To
avoid this use a good cleansing cream
instead Of soap and water.
Night and morning cleanse your face
neck, hands and arms with Liska cold
cream for a few minutes, then wipe off
the superduOus cream with a soft cloth.

skfn) If you will follow this advice you
won't have chapped skin all winter,
ana your complexion and skin will be
soft and velvety, and as beautiful as
rose.
There is no better cleansing cream than
Liska cold cream. which can be purchased
at toilet counters everywhere. If your
druggist does not carry it ask him to
get 1t for you. It's wonderful for cleans
ing the skin and protecting the skin
from exposure to sun and wind.
1t is put up in large tubes, the only
sanitary way. You will never know what
real skin comfort is until you have tried
Liska cold cream, and if you don't like
1t better than any cream you have ever
used insist on the refund of your money
Thus you practically get a free trial with

at the toilet counters of all department
stores and druggists and in this city by
