At one of the local moving picture
theatres the other evening there appeared
on the screen the figure of President
Harding with large American flag as a
background. All quiet! Scarcely a hand
was moved to applaud either the Presi-
dent or our national emblem. Two or
three minutes later Georges Carpenter,
the French pugilist, was shown, which
brought out quite a spirited round of ap-
plause. There was probably not a per-
son in the audience but respected abso-
lutely the flag and also the President of
the United States. Are we getting so in
different and indolent that we can't
rouse ourselves enough to give as much
of a salute to our flag and the head of
our country as to a prize fighter?

paupers by circumstance and too often
parasites by training and inclination.
They are expedited out of their countries
by governments that do not want them,
and they usually travel on money they
have begged or demanded from America -
Do we really need that kind? Isn't it
far better to check immigration squarely
and frankly for while until we digest
and assimilate the foreign-born popula-
ton already here?
Fortunately the emergency restriction
bill has been passed by congress and
signed by the President. If it is to be

IMMIGRATION THEORIES.

OF course, if America wants to be the
dumping ground for all the scum of
Europe, why then. that is what it wants,
and immigrant-exclusiOn laws are not.
But isn't it true that Americans gener-
ally do not quite realize what the recent
food of immigration means? The views
of those whose minds are fixed on theory
rather than ON facts are admirably typi-
fed by the statement of former member
of the federal reserve board, quoted in
a recent magazine:
1.-The strongest and best man material
of Europe comes here, for it takes a
strong heart and an ambitious character
to tear itself up by the roots, leave home,
family and friends and travel, usually
mid all the unpleasantness of third class,
to the uncertainty of a new life in a new
land"
The writer of the article comments on
this as follows, and it is his comment
based on actual facts gained by months of
study of conditions from the source to
the mouth of this turbid stream, that is
worth noting by the American who has
had no opportunity to see thefthing as 1t
is:
This is one of the old sentimentalist
views of immigration; and it is emphat-
ically not true today.
THE emigrantS- who are passing
through the Northern European ports OF
embarkation are so far as the great ma
iority of them are concerned, the weak
est and poorest man material of Europe,
They are the defeated, the incompetent
| and unsuccesSful-the very lowest layer
of European society. Th( are usually

nr Wilhelm Solf, who is again men
toned as likely to become the German
ambassador to the United States when
diplomatic relations between the two
countries are resumed. has had long and
practical experience in diplomatic af-
fairs and as a colonial administrator Be
fore entering upon a public career, how
ever, he devoted many years 10 a study
of comparative philology, in which subject
he gained a great proficiency. While en-
gagged in study at Calcutta he conceived
the idea of entering the public service and
obtained appointment to consular post
in the Indian metropolis. Later he served
a long term as governor general of Samoa.
At the commencement of the war, of
which, by the way, he was an ardent sup
porter, he held the post of German colon
ial secretary, and after the signing of the
armiStice he, became first foreign minister.

way to make color is by mixing ,
other colors, the cheef thing being to
know wich to mix.

instants a good meel is az follows: red

THE DESCENDING RENT.

During the past few years the man
looking for a house or an apartment to
rent frequently was forced TO offer a
bonus. Today rent concessions are being
offered in almost all of the big cities as
inducements to people to rent vacant
property. The grinding mills have caught
the rent profteer% at last.
1t is true that the concessions and the
more numerous vacancies are usually
noted in high-priced property, but it
means that the whole renting outlook is
clearing. As the expensive places remain
vacant in spite of inducements, their
rentals will be forced down to figures
more in keeping with normal values.
This in turn will react upon all rents.
1t will take time, but it is coming.
The danger is that with the rental
problem easier, the home building i'm
pulse may receive check. This would
be a great pity. Home ownership in
town or country is just as desirable now
as it has ever been. The lessons learned
in the era of imitation were too valuable
to be cast aside. High rents come hard
but they got paid somehow. Happy the
renter who, remembering this as he moves
into cheaper quarters or has his rent
reduced, starts a home building fund
with the difference between the old rent
and the new, or who, if his income also
has been reduced, saves such a percentage
of the difference as can possibly be
squeezed out.

Sonny.

We have a little freckled boy,
His hair is like a flame
He's homely little rascal
But we love him just the same
He Knocked the knob from off the door,
The panel he stove in;
He poured the milk in the vinegar
The whole in the -four bin
He filled the wafer tank with sand.
Put the plumbing on the blink:
The bath tub pipes are all chOked up
80 we battle in the kitchen sink.
But as he's only five years old,
He's really not TO blame;
When we Scold him he only laughs
And we love him just the same.
He's broken up the phonograph;
The records are all cracked:
He knocked the reproducer off
And the case has all been hacked.
He keeps me playing "horsey"
Till | am sore and lame:
The busy little scalawag-
We love him just the same.
The harm he does in driving tacks
I carefully explain.
He's at ii again in an hour or so
With all his might and main.
He draws pictures of his father
On the door and window frame
Impudent little vagabond-
We love him just the same.
To keep him we'll and happy
Is the main point in the game
And if we're really natural
Wen do II just the same
