MANY TOURISTS PASS
THROUGH THE CITY;
ENJOY VACATIONS

Many tourists from different
sections of the country pass
through the city every day, their
cars laden with luggage. Some
have destinations in view, while
others are siphtseers and pleasure
seekers.
When night begins to fall they
locate a suitable camping spot,
which is easily found in Rankin
County, among the hills, spread
their tents and spend an enjoy
able night in The open. Their
meals are prepared over the camp
fire by the littld old stream, and
are just as appetizimg as those
prepared in a spotless kitchen.
We consider this an excellent
way 10 spend a summer vacation.

People who planted gardens
this spring are now being reward
ed for their efforts with plenty
of nice, fresh vegetables. such as
tomatoes, squash, beans, egg

FATAL FALL REUNITES
BROTHERS MISSING YEARS

PITTSBURGH. May 23.-A few
hours after he had been discovered
by his brother, who had continued q
countrywide search for him since he
disappeared from his home three
years ago, George Halter aged thirty
five, died in the Presbyterian Hos
pital from injuries which had been
instrumental in reuniting him with
his relatives.
Physicians when they heard the
story of Halters disappearance, said
that he probably lost his memory
after he left home, and had been un-
able to recall his previous existence
until injuries suffered on Thursday,
when a fall from a third story win
dow restored his memory and en-
abled him to give his name to hos
pital authorities before he became
unconscious. While asleep, Halter
walked to the window Of his room, on
the third floor of a house in West
North avenue.
He disappeared from his home, In
Birmingham street, South Side, in
1919. A search begun by his brother
Victor still was being continued when

U. S. WILL FIX QUOTA
OF NEW IMMIGRANTS

The number Of immigrants who
will be permitted to enter the United
States during the next fiscal year
will be fixed by Secretary OF State
Hughes, Secretary Of Labor Davis
and Secretary of Commerce Hoover
at meeting to be held within the
next few days, it was learned today.
COngI IS has extended the so-called
3 per cent immigration law for two
years and under it's provisions new
quotas will have to be established
for each OF the nations of the world.
The per cent law limits the i'm
migrants for the year from any
foreign country to per cent of the
total number Of people Of the same
nationality who are already in the
United States, as determined by the
census Of 1910.
The new quotas to be established
will be practically the same as these
now in effect, with the exception of
Turkey and some other nations that
were carved up as a result of the
world war.

HOUSE TOVOTE
TOMORROW ON
OILED MILK
Little Opposition Expected to
voigt Bill to Prohibit Its
Manufacture.

The House tomorrow will con-
slider the Voigt bill which is de-
signed to prohibit the manufacture
and interstate shipment Of filled"
or oiled milk.
The measure. which was reported
favorably by the agricultural COM
mittee last August, is directed
against the manufacture OF canned
milk" after the extraction OF the
original butter fats and the substi-
tuition of cocoanut oil and other
ingredients.
1t is claimed by proponents of the
bill that this product as sold under
various trade names contains no
nutriment and is especially injurious
to the health OF children.
With eleven States having passed
laws prohibiting the manufacture OF
oiled milk, II is not expected the
Voigt bill will experience any seri-
Gus opposition on the &oor tomor.

manufacturers OF the product at

who heads the committee has made
arrangements with the postal au-

Of residents filling out the cards
properly and returning them to

A great many complaints have
been made by residents since the

Federal Government. Hundreds Of
citizens have declared that their
homes were not visited at all by
the census takers.
1t is doubtful IL Clarendon will

of a report made by n. d. Mitchell,
committee of the local citizens as
sociation, last night. Mitchell read
a communication from the general

that the great increase in coal
