IMMIGRATION
sY OR. FRANK CRANE lcopyright 1921. by Frank CransS

Re the matter of immigration, it would be we'll to note the following:
 l. At present the United States does not need im- migration. We have man-poyer to spare. Some four ona workers into the country only make economic conditions worse lower wages and increase dlstTesS From an economic standpoint, therefore, everything that can be done that consistent with justice with our national honor, and with our duty to humanity.
 2. As to duty to humanity, we must Welgn two considerations our duty ana privilege !o opportunity to the oppressed of older natlons ana second duty to keep nation sound and strong and so as to be able help other countries when necessary
 We should be altruistc enough to assist others, but unless we are selfish enough to preserve our own ism intact and virile we will not be able to assst anybody and will ourselves become burden.
 3. So, aso common sense must find balance De- tween the two ideas both good of CD being place or refuge for the worlds distressed and l2) governing our country for the benefit of our own citizens.
 4 Politically we need to limit immigration for time It does not do for to eat his food too fast and when immigrants pour into country too fast they Swedes Italians, Germans and all the rest may make good citizens but only as they become assimated ana become hundred per cent Americans.
 g. Our political life is already injured by the over activity of certain groups who constantly seek to em broil us with European affairs
 G. Some workable association of nations should take LID the problem of immigration world matter and regulate it.
 '. The right kind of immigrants those who would he of benefit to us-shoud be directed toward other American states where opportunity is still greater for them to assist in building up cvlllzatlon-as Mexico Central and South America.
 In fine our obligation is first to our own people, second to the concord of the world and offeno no other nation, and third toward All men every where"

The human foot Is of the most beautiful and useful instruments conceived, but, unfortunate ly, it is what motorst calls "foolproof"
 There is great deal of misunderstanding about feet We treat them outrageously, either tom fashion may dictate. As result, about third of the population is footed another third walks like hen hot cinders, and the remaining third be said to walk fairly naturally.
 The foot has graceful arch running fore and aft We take this longitudinal arch, turn the toes outward that the heels angle of 45 degrees, and then put all pressure in a skew direction across the arch. No railway engineer would dream of building straight arch bridge carry loads neither across along the arch but irregularly askew it.
 We ought to walk with great toe pointed straight in the direction of Indian do, and spring from the great toe' Instead, most of take off in numbering sort of way from the ball of the great toe.
 The arch of the foot is supported largely by the tendon which under the foot to the great toe itself and this neglect of renders this tendon weak and lax, and depression of the arch The best for weak arch is the practice of raising ones self upon the great toe. that is doing penalty exercise what you should have done all along naturally If you will try when walking keep the feet straight. and end each stride with little spring off each big alternately, you will be rewarded by finding that progress seems easier, quicker, and more buoyant.- London Dolly News.

while 13 per cent of the number re- plying thought s200 would be enough. Those who went above $500 usually jumped swiftly to $1,000, while a third group containing many more men than women, declared they would not marry with less than $1,- 500 in bank
 Every answer placed great em- phasis on the importance of setting aside for savings at least 10 per cent of the income. Evidently experience had shown many of the budgeters the difficulties encountered in perform ing this task regularly. for elaborate schemes were advanced for doing it. One man. for example, said that he intended to pay all of his household bills by check the first of the month. and that the first check he drew would be for 10 per cent of his salary. to be deposited hastily in the savings bank
 On the subject of savings, though. economic experts disagree. Some hold that disaster swiftly overtakes those who do not regularly save their 10 per cent, while others assert that when young people marry on a small income it is mistake to try to save too much in cash. It would be far better in most cases, the latter be- lieve, to put this money into insur- ahce or house furnishings or some other permanent investment. Some savings banks distributing standard budgets for the benefit of their patrons list investments. life insur- ance and household furniture" under the weekly savings item.
 This is largely a matter to be de- cided by personal tasre. In fact. the entire budget is something which must be worked out to suit the in- dividual, there being few standard budgets which can be used without at least minor alterations. The im- portant thing is to have some kind of budget Everybody should have a budget, but it is especially necessary to matrimony, where so much de- bends upon wise and careful finance.
 If engaged couples would spend less time wearing out park benches. said New York magistrate the other | day. "and more time in the public | libraries, absorbing a little informa- ton on household finance, there would be great falling off in divorce cases, in my opinion"

REAL TORS HEAR IF; CITRUS GROWING
 AND FLOOD CONTROL

Addresses on citrus fruit growing drainage and flood control and local marketing were served as desert te one of the best meetings of the year at the luncheon yesterday noon held at the American Kitchen by the Salt River Valley Realtors association. The meeting was opened by Hal Prince, president of the association. who introduced George E. Lilley. as chairman for the day. Irving de R. Miller. secretary of the Arizona Citrus Growers association, spoke on the industry in the valley.
 MT. Miller said the industry in or- der to be profitable should be fol- lowed by those who will make spe- cial study of the citrus fruit. The crop, he said, requires special care and attention to secure the best re- suits from the land. With proper made to yield profit of from $2o0 to $500 a year. The Salt Riverssyalley. he said, is very fortunately situated as to marketing the fruit The valley has about two weeks interim between the time when the California Valen- cia oranges go off the market and the larger California oranges go on, in which to market their product The association. he said, handles about 90 per cent of the orange crop sold outside of the local markets and has always had a market for all the fruit it could handle.
 c. c. Cragin, superintendent of the Water Users association, told of the success of the drainage system in the valley. Instead of the water table raising a foot and a half year. he said. the drainage has so been con- trolled as to reduce 1t two feet a year. Mir Cragin also spoke of the Cave Creek flood and told of the present plans to control the flood
 H. c. Thomas presented plan to the realtors for the marketing ot products of the valley through a cen- trally located public market. His plan. he said was based on the plan of cooperative marketing by the grower direct to the consumer as fol- lowed in many of the larger cities The market, he said, was not to be run for the purpose of cutting prices under those charged by the regular merchants. l.. A. Weiss spoke on ad- vertising for the purpose of present. ing the products of the valley in for- eign markets as we'll as drawing out siders to the valley.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-What is the price of ''comfortable' marriage?

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-What Is the price of "comfortable'' marriage?
 Although several frivolous answers to this question will no doubt readily come to mind, a serious one is badly needed. Divorce lawyers. tell us that most marriages fail because they are badly financed. The family income is unfairly distributed or insufficient Money" declares one of these busy lawyers rhetorically, lis the rock up- on which the majority of marriages go to smash.s
 How then." engaged couples we'll might ask, "can we avoid this com mon reef of matrimonial woe and guide our dispositions and bank ac-. counts safely through the storm?" They well might, but do they?
 The result of a questionnaire rec ently sent out to 1000 young men and women living in the Y. M. c. A. and Y. w. c. A. in New York would indi- cate that they don't. Suppose you wanted to marry someone" this ques tionnaire asked. What weekly in- come would you consider necessary to finance a comfortable marriage?" Then, in parentheses, the young things were reminded that while "comfortable" might mean the pos session of talking machine, it did not include an eight-cylinder car.
 The object of the questionnaire was to obtain exact and detailed figures that could be used as basis in making up standard budgets for the newly married. What did the average person expect matrimony to cost?
 Of the 1000 persons selected. only 200 had given the matter sufficient study to make their suggestions or value. They were lowering on the brink of matrimony and were intelli- gently aware of it's financial prob lems. Of the others, the young la dies seemed to feel that the consid- eration of family budgets was rather premature. As one of them ex- plained, First catch your husband was her motto. In similar vein one of the young men replied, Never bother trouble till trouble bothers you"
 Nevertheless, the s.uestionnaire se- cured a great deal Ve useful informa : tion for the benefit of those who are interested in the relation of money to matrimony. It showed. for one thing, that women are more extrava- gant than men. They require larger weekly income as the basis for n comfortable" marriage than do men but the men are higher in their esti- mates of what is necessary in the way of a savings fund. A weekly income of S71 was the minimum upon which the women thought it safe to get married, but the men felt that 8 "comfortable" marriage could be ar

The coehi.e Criminal Code

We all like Cochise county and proud it. But we have sometimes spoken in disapproval of the way they enforce the law in that jurisdiction But maybe they have another criminal code there else they interpret the state code differently the interpretations always in favor of the criminal there can be no appeal; the supreme court cannot review the Cochise interpretation; the state has no comeback"
 Not many months ago. for instance. 1t was judciay held at Tombstone that shooting tour naments are not in violation of the anti gambling laws. Still. when come to think of it. Cochises attitude toward the antigambling law Is in effect much same that of the sister counties, where gambling cases do not reach the courts The crap shooting case demonstrated that the peace of ficers in making arrests moved at least by the spirit of inquiry.

Spain and the Moore Auain

The conflict between the Spaniards and tribes along Mediterranean coast in Morocco calls attention to part of the world to which have been oblivious for years and especially to the city of Melillia. the Spanish Calais" late bue- tin by the National Geographic Society says of this region:
 This the first bit of African soil taken by Spain. Hardly had the Moors been expelled from their 7Ooyear domination the Iberian peninsula by the reawakened Spaniards latter carried the fight into the enemy's country and captured Melilla in 149s It has remained Spanish hands since sometimes almost alone among Spanish Moroccan possessions.
 Before 1t became Spanish territory Mella had long history. It was of the posts of the Phoe- nicans twelve centuries before Christ. when the Meditrranean their commercial pond and when the Pillars of Hercules regarded the outer gates of the world.

THE COST OF MATRIMONY
ranged on from $50 to $6o a week.
 Budgets According to Sex

ranged on from $50 to $6o a week.
 Budgets According to Sex
 The estimates varied among the men according to their earnings and occupations. Statesmen were inclined to agree with the women that $70 a week was necessary to marital bliss, while professional men felt that $60 would be sufficient, and clerks felt that $50 was ample. Clerks are re- signed to matrimony on a small sal ary. Their estimate was lower than that of workmen.
 The women, on the other hand. showed no class distinctions what soeyer Regardless of varying de- grees of education, refinement and attractiveness. they were all deter mined to keep house on exactly the same scale. None was willing to risk her happiness for less than <7l per week, while one out of every four felt that $100 week would be neces- sary to her peace and comfort. It must be remembered. however. that these estimates are based upon New York prices, which are greatly above those existing in other cities.
 "It is natural that girls should have ambitions which men cannot be ex- pected to share" explained a member of the committee which sent out the questionnaire, "and that they should set the expenses of a comfortable marriage somewhat higher. The la bor and privations of bringing up a family on a small salary fail far more on the wife than on the husband He earns the salary, but she has ta make it stretch, often magically. to cover the cost of groceries and clothes and household comforts Then, too. we must remember that abstract1y and as matter of prin- | ciple. women are extravagant. When a general question on the financial basis of marriage is put before mer and women, the men tend to answer it by figure slightly lower than that on which they themselves would bt willing to marry, and the women by
 a somewhat higher one"
 All Believe in Saving
 | Both men and women showed 8 ! gratifying sense of thrift in declar- l ing saving funds absolutely essential | to the comfort of matrimony. The | wisdom of such a fund to meet un- | foreseen emergencies of sickness, ac-
 cident, and unexpected loss of em- | p,oyment is only too seldom realized
 Men, the questionnaire replies re-
 vealed, place a higher value on this
 wisdom than do women. While | per cent of the girls were willing tt marry a man who had no money 1T bank, only per cent of the mer would consider such a risk. Yet thu amount required by both sexes is ! rather lower than might be desired
 In most cases it was fixed at $500
