that had the literacy test now given

of this test. Many of them, he de-
clared, "would be far better citizens
than many who meet our present re-

To accomplish the education OF inn
migrants. the Labor Secretary de-
! clared, the work of the bureau Of
naturalization should be enlarged by
providing uniform registration OF

which make for Americanization.

bring into notice the alien who de.
clareS himself or is known to be an
anarchist, whose intentions are hos

other reason an undesirable. Success
sive registrations would give proof Of
the continued resistive or undesirable

then be referred to the Department OF
Justice. Beyond this. q system OF reg

HEART And HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State Journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
of thirty. 1 am keeping house just for
my brother and myself. 1 want a hus-
band. Where can find one? 1 want
good husband to make my home
happy. Please give me your advice.
GRAY EYES.
Good husbands are sent by God and
not found in any particular place. The
best way for you to meet men is to
have your brother invite them to your
home for dinner and to spend the
evening. Perhaps in this way you
would meet the right man. You might
also meet men by attending church.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: How old
should a girl be to have her first eve
ming dress with low neck and short
sleeves? MARYLEE.
A girl should be eighteen before
she has a real evening dress Girlsh
little party frocks are all right for the
young girls. Simplicity is more
charming for youth than decoration

the three means of making books for
the blind. The typewriter has only
six keys, one for each dot that may be
used in a letter. To make a letter, the
proper keys are struck simultaneously,
like a chord. The typewriter is a
more speedy instrument than the
slate, but it is considerably more ex-
L 1nsive, costing about $32.
The third and quickest method of
Braille printing is on a printing press.
There are several publishers and
printers who make Braille books. Most
of their time is used in making text
books for schools for the blind and
standard works in wide demand. The
American Printing House for the
Blind at Louisville, KY. receives fed
eraI subsidy of $4,000 a year with
which to print textbooks and collateral
reading for children in schools for the
blind. This allows about $40 worth
of Braille reading for each blind pu-
pill. Aside from philanthropic gifts
there is no fund for publishing books
for adult blind.
