When thoroughly investigated in a

showing up false propositions.

Thursday and Friday,
AS Little Lord Fa1ntleroy, Miss
Pickford tied string to her tooth

Her brother Jack was directing the

The GREATEST GIFT IN THE WORLD
What Would You Rather Have
More Than Anything Else
On Earth?

Every human soul wants SOMETHING
wants it heart and soul Some of US want
Riches; some Power; some, Fame. Others
desire Beauty ersonality-Knowledge
Suppose it were yours to make the choice.
Suppose, by bit of glorious magic, by
touch of sublime hocus-pocus that you
could gain for yourself whatever you
wished. What would you ask?
Before the words came trembling from your
mouth, you would have to determine inc
your own mind the answer to this question:
What is the GREATEST gift in the
word2" For surely you would want tie
most that you could get And if you were
real WISE you would request just one simple
thing:
The ability to make others HAPPY.
Ever since Time began Life has been filled
with ten thousand Worries and cares for
each of us. Blessed indeed, is that man or
woman who can truthfully say, Il have
brought JOY to my fellow beings. | have
carried happiness into millions of hearts.
May Pickford may be Justly proud She
has made humanity smile. She has cheered
the multitudes. Hers is the habit of happ-
ness-the gift divine. In Little Lord Faun-
tleroy, she proves again that she is the
Spirit of Sunshine, the Imp of Good Fun
the matchle star who lifts the shadow and
helps make Life worth while.

TO the census of 1920 the total foreign
white stock in the United States on
January 1 Of that year was 36,S9S, 95S.
by foreign white stock" Is meant the
total foreign born white population
pius the native white population hav-
ing one or both parents foreign born.
Inc corresponding total for 1910 was
AZ,243,382. The increase of the for
eign white stock between 1910 and 1920
was, therefore, 4,155,576, or 1919 per
cent,
The total for 1920 includes 1872.
1o4 who were foreign born and came
70 this country as immigrants, and
22,6S6,2O4 who were born in this cOun-
try, but whose parents, one or both,
were immigrants.
Inc classification of the foreign
white stock by country of origin is
based upon the prewar map of Eu-
rope, partly because Of the difficulty of
adjusting the returns in regard to the
birthplace Of parents so as to agree
with the changed boundaries of Eu-
ropean countries and partly in order
that comparisons might be made with
the figures Of previous census, taken
IN 1910. The names of the several
countries, therefore, indicate the ter
ritory embraced within these cOun-
tries before the war.
The total foreign white stock from
each Of the principal countries of
origin was as follows: Germany.
7,259,997; Ireland, 4,136,395; Russia,
3,Sn,123; Italy, 3,336,945; Austria,
3,129, 1876; Canada, 2,6OS, 1928; England.
2,3O7,112; Sweden, 1,457,3S2; Hun.
gary, 1,110,9O5; Norway, 1O23,225.
OF the 7,259,997 persons Of foreign
stock whose country of origin was
Germany, 1,915,S67 were immigrants
whose fathers were born in prewar
Germany and 5,344,13O were natives
Of the United States whose parents
were immigrants born in prewar Ger
many. These two groups may be des-
ignated, respectively, as the first and
second generation from Germany. Not
all of them are German by race or
stock. as the classification is deter
mined by place Of birth without regard
to racial stock.
The members in the first and second
generations from some of the principal
countries of Europe were as follows
Germany, 1,915,S67, first generation

DEBATERS GOING TO FRANCE
New York WORLDLY


A European trip involving a Sc
ries of debates with universities in
Great Britain and on the Continent
has been arranged for this summer
by the New York University debat-
ing team. The first debate will be
with the University of Edinburgh
late in June. There will also be a
debate with the University of Paris.
In this debate the New York Uni
versity students will open the de-
bate in French and the French de-
batter will speak in English. Speak
ing in rebuttal, each team will use
it's own language. and an interpreter
will translate.
The subject to be debated will be:
Resolved, That the Allied War
Debt to the United States Should Be
Cancelled" The New York Univer-
sity debaters will be prepared to
take either side of the question,
leaving the choice to their oppo-
nents.

LIQUID AIR FOR CRACKING
NUTS
(Science Service)

Liquid air for cracking nuts is
the latest application of science
Experts of the National Bureau OF
Standards were appealed to for a
method of breaking the shells of the
chicha nuts, without damaging the
kernels. They found that it took a
weight of nearly a ton to crack the
nuts, and that after that effort the
meat of the nut was broken in many
small pieces.
Then they applied liquid air to
the problem. They did not freeze
solid a piece of rubber and use it
for a hammer, as is done in the
classic stunt of physics, but they
simply immersed the nuts in liquid
air for thirty seconds and cracked
them easily, without damaging the
kernels. Now the physicists are try
ing to find out whether this method
can be applied commercially on a
large scale.
Chicha nuts are grown in South
America. Their dense strong shells
were used during the war to make
charcoal for gas masks, and the oil
from the kernels is a valuable food,
similar to copia.

A PLANT THAT SNEEZES
lie Petit Parisien, -Paris)

kAS CIlI L al lolCA, al ISJ
The recent discovery of a cough
ing plant has been reported. The
Vulgarisation Scientifique mentions
still another species which sneezes.
The former grows in certain trop-
ical countries and bears a bean-like
fruit. 1t appears to have a decided
distaste for dust, and when a little
is placed on one of its leaves the
respiratory organs of the plant in
fate and the dust is expelled with
a curious noise, for all the world
like a child with the .whooping
cough.
We are not told the name of either
plant and doubtless they are closely
related, if not Identical.
