News Service) "A strong demand
is, being made upon Congress by
many great industries to let down

cheap foreign labor. Many large cor
porations feel the need of getting
more unskilled labor, and find it i'm
possible to do so in the present con-
ditioT Of the labor market.
Against the purely commercial as
pect Of the question are many in au-
thority who question the wisdom of
cheapening manufacturing processes
at the expense of, injecting more un-
assimilatable foreign clements into

Davis points out that the quota law
operates restrictively against coun-
tries which have, in the past, sent US
the lowest and least desirable types
of immigrants, but that those coun-
tries which sent us men who general

After a study Of more than twenty
years, Abbe Moreux has evolved the
theory that earthquakes have some

occurs in cycles of about eleven
years. The middle of the present
cycle is due in 1928. ~
= While convinced. that solar activ-
