BY DEE WAY

COHAnlllee demanding tLldt the oars DC
put up to stay for five years against
any more emigrants coming into the
United States.
Lillian has just returned from an ex-
tended trip to all parts Of Europe. and,
as result of her trip she is convinced
that some drastic action is necessary to
protect our country from the hordes Of
emigrants who come here to take away
the jobs that Americans now hold be-
cause the foreigner can live and work
on less than an American can or will.
I'VE should care for Americans first,
was the statement of Lillian, and we
should also have blood tests, made
compulsory, before they sail from their
own land. And when this is not com
piled with, the American consul should
refuse to wise passports. Good for you,
Lillian; go to it; we have needed such
as you to awaken those boobs down at
Washington, for these many years. If
we are to have emigrants, les have
clean ones at least.

In the month Of March there were
100 hold-ups and 90 homicides in the
City of New York, and the Aew York
Society for the suppression Of vice has
recommended that the City of New
York be turned into an armed camp.
Already many of the banking institu-
tons have installed pistol ranges for
their employees and several thousand
pistol permits have been taken out
within the city limits.
A real wave of crime has hit New
York as it never was hit before in all
its history, and alarm is felt that things
may become worse instead of better.
Men are asking the reason why. 1t is
admitted that the vast police force Of
New York is now totally unable to stem
the torrent of crime that has invaded
the City. Police Commissioner En-
right has been requested to permit eve
ry male citizen to carry arms for self
protection.

During the recent rains the streets
Of Beaumont, Tex, were overrun with
all kinds 6f alligators and moccasin
snakes. Hunting parties were organ
lied and a general killing of the pests
was in effect for some time, and an ar
my of the alligators were caught alive
and taken home. The snakes were all
killed as rapidly as possible. These
we're all washed in by the backwateres
Of the Netches river.
