Breakdown Seen In
 Immigration Barrier

Washington, April 1e-A serious breakdown in the Governments bar riers against the smuggling of inn1i- grams into this country is threatening. according to Senator Lodge, Repub- lican leader of the Senate.
 Lodge warned that between 400 and 700 members of the Federal Inn migration Service would be suspended between now and July 1 due to lack of funds to pay their salaries. .= This lay-om of trained sleuths. who have spent years in ferreting down inni- grant srnugglers. will be due to the refusal of Congress to pass deficiency appropriation for the service, Lodge said.
 1T think the crippling of the imrni- grafton service through failure to pass a deficiency appropriation is a very serious natter Lodge said. ''It will undoubtedly lead to a great deal of smuggling
 Ut will mean the furloughing of from 400 TOO men, because there will be no money to pay their salaries until July l. when the appropriations for the next fiscal year become avail able"
 Lodge estimated that 10000 Illicit and unlawful immigrants" will be ad- nitted before the immigration ser vice can restore its barriers to nor mal conditions.
 Tt seems to me to be extrava- garce of the worst kind to break up service which at the best is under manned"

Retail Board Bends Efforts To Big Drive

No one knows better than the mer- chants of Bridgeport what the city | has gone through In the past year
 of industrial depression. But the | same energy and enthusiasm they l have put into their efforS to bring 1 increased earning power to the city, l through the Retail Board of the Chamber of Commerce, are now being put to work for the Community Chest
 "The Mercantile division of the drive is getting Its workers together and making plans,' said w: J. Baird, paign, yesterday, with great deal of pride and enthusiasm in its share of the work of raising money for the worthy organizations represented in the chest.''
 ''The stores are planning to have their own organizations take care of this end of the drive, each in it's own store. The employes-in all the stores community effort and the goal is to get 100 per cent. in each one of them.''
 The same pledge cards will be used in the stores. as are used in the factories and the campaign will be carried on simultaneously in factor ies and stores, on May l, and 5. Each subscriber will be provided with a receipt, a button and a window paster, so that when the house to house canvass begins on May 4, there will be no duplication of effort.
 Those who subscribe in the facor ies and stores are therefore urger to wear their buttons and put up their window pastors as soon as received thus protecting themselves against being approached second time in the house to house canvass, as we'll as saving time for the canvassers.
 The form of pledge card adopted for employees in factories and stores will make it easy for every earner to contribute his or her share.
 The plan of graduating amounts from 50 cents to 10 cents a week, covering a period of 25 weeks, gives everyone an opportunity to satisfy his own conscience that he is not side stepping his duty. Not only the poor and sick benefit by the work financed by the Community Chest, but every citizens welfare is increased as the level of community standards is rais- ed.

Eating Their Own Weight.

Imagine for one moment what the
result would be If we ate our own
weight in food each day. The idea
is preposterous, but there are many
birds that do just that. The English
robin, for instance, will easily devour
twice its own weight in the course of
day, and the kingfisher, greedier still,
consumes about three times its own
weight in food per day. 1t Is we'll
known fact that young birds in their
nests have enormous appetites. A very
interesting story was told some time
ago about young bird who tried to
devour Il worm much longer than itself.
Eventually it succeeded, and certainly
looked uncomfortable so much so,
that the worm wriggled out of its beak
again. second time the bird tried,
and was no more successful; but at
the next attempt the bird had learnt
n lesson, and kept its beak closed, with
satisfactory results-to the bird. Par
ticularly If they have been without
food for some time, the buzzard, and
the raven will gorge themselves until
it is difficult for them to fly-a prac-
tice which is also common among vul-
lures and other birds Of prey.

ANCIENT FORESTS OF AMERICA
Continuous Growth Of conifers Once
Known to Have Covered the
Whole Northern Continent.

Long ago, in the early Cretaceous
period, according to Prof. ]. E. Kirk
wood of the University Of Montana, a
continuous forest of conifers and cy-
cads covered the North American con-
tinent. In the late Cretaceous the land
became divided by an arm of the sea
which extended north from the Gulf
to the Arctic, through what is now
Texas and Montana. During this
period was the beginning Of the
marked differentiation Of the eastern
flora from that Of the West. In the
East are the elm, hickory, chestnut
persimmon, sassafras, tulip, Usage or
ange, and magnolia, which are not
found on the Pacific coast; in the West
are the Sequoias, cypress, and giant
cactus, which do not occur East Of the
Rocky mountains. Oaks are on both
coasts, but not the same species of
oaks; the same to large extent is
true Of naples, alders. pines, frs, and
many others. Toward the close of the
Cretaceous there entered many hard
wood types Of modern form.

Bio Results From Small Things.

A British officers wife was respon-
sible for an article of wearing apparel
that Mt the time was far more impor-
tant than collars. AS Sir George Lusk
was about to start on one of his Indian
campaigns, Lady Lusk sewed some
strips of chain under the cloth between
the collar and the shoulder of his tunic
as a protection against saber cuts. 1t
served the purpose so well that the
British army adopted chain shoulder
straps for all ranks.
Accident of different kind set
George Westinghouse on the track Of
his chief invention. While he was on
n railway journey in America the quiet
persistence Of tired looking young
woman who was trying to sell maya
zines to the passengers aroused his
compassion. Out of sheer pity he
bought a magazine, and in 1t he hap
peped to see an article that described
a compressed-air borer, which gave
him the idea for his pneumatic air
