is deeply concerned over President
Harding's illness, 1t was officially

today to President Harding, hoping
for his early return to good health.
President Harding's illness Is at

press, in official circles and among
the public at large. It is linked
with reparations and the German
crisis in British interest.

Believes President Will Recov-
er-Marion, Ohio, Profoundly
Shocked by News Of Attack.

MARION, Ohio, July 31.-Marion's
anxiety over the illness Of President
Harding deepened today with the
news that he had developed
bronchial pneumonia.
This was noticeable through the
increased flood OF inquiries regard
ing the condition Of the Chief Execu'
tive and the growth of crowds that
stood about bulletin boards solemn
ly scanning every word Of the latest
dispatches from the Presidents bed
side.
Each new indication Of improve
meI1t was quickly spotted and the
news that the President had been
sleeping for several hours following
midnight was pointed to with Ella
ton by the anxious crowd.
This morning DIR. George T. Hard.
ing, aged father of the President
received a telegram from Mrs. Hard.
ing telling Of the development OF
pneumonia, and the disappearance OF
the stomach symptoms.
The telegram was filed last night
and delivered to the Presidents
father today. DIR. Harding was very
much encouraged at the news in
press dispatches that the President
had been sleeping for several hours
and stated that It would give him
an opportunity to gain strength to
fight off the infection.
DIR. Harding stated that he is max.
ing no preparation for a trip toe San
Francisco. The Journey would take
about three days and would be most
wearing on a man Of the doctors
age, especially the heat that he
would encounter on such trans
continental trip.
A constant stream Of inquiries of
the latest news from the sick room
In the Palace hotel at San Francisco
has been received at the office Of the
Star since the Presidents condition
was announced as serious.
President Harding has had very
little sickness In Marion. The last
here occurred some twenty years
ago, when he had some slight at
tacks of indigestion which were &C.
companied by a correspondingly
slight dilation Of the heart.
They were OF short duration and
Mr.. Harding was not confined to
bed at any time during these i'll.
nesses. He always has been the EN-.
bodiment Of health.

$4,000 or ALIEN
HORDES FLOOD
\. Y. PORT
Nineteen ShipIoads' Await En-
try-Nations Sending Grim
lnals Here, Charge.

NEW YORK, July 31.--Nineteen
ocean liners. bearing $4,000 alien i'm
migrants, were off New York today,
ready to dash into port at midnight
to land the aliens under the August
immigration quota effective Au-
gust /.
It was expected that many Of the
quota would be exhausted within an
hour after the arrival of the ships.-
Ellis Island will be swamped worse
than a month ago, when foreign
deluge rolled in under the July quota.
Breaks JuIy's Record.
The rush Of immigrants under the
August quota viii be even greater
than it was in July, the Department
OF Labor was advised today. To re-
lieve the crowded conditions At
Ellis Island, various steamship
companies are diverting their ships
to Boston, Philadelphia and other
ports.
The department, according to
Assistant Secretary Henning, in
tends to make the steamship COM
panies hold immigrants on board
ship until their status has been de-
termined.
ELLIS Island was never intended
to be a detention port and 1t is up
to the steamship companies to care
for these immigrants until their
right to enter the country has been
determined" Henning said. "Critf-
cism of conditions at Ellis Island
are wholly unfair and the blame
for any crowded conditions existing
there is squareiy up to the steam
ship companies who are constantly
gambling on the chance of beating
the other fellow in landing their
immigrant passengers before the
quotas are exhausted"
Sending Criminals Here.
In the rush Of immigrants the
country "is getting too many ped
dlers and not enough farmers, too
many candidates for sweat-shops
and not enough men with trades"
according to q report submitted to
the Department of Labor today by
Mrs. Mural Lynch Crichton. Mrs.
Crichton has just concluded four
months survey OF American immi-
grafton problems in twelve Euro
pean countries.
The report charged that in GER
tain cases young criminals received
suspended sentences on condition
that they emigrate to the United
States.
They may be healthy and strong,
perfectly able to pass the literature
test; and they come here to live
the rest OF their lives and possibly
pro-create their kind the report
said. Some foreign governments
are sending their social made
quates' to the United States, to
avoid. caring for them, Mrs. erich.
ton also charged.
Among the recommendations con.
tanned in the report was one that
the selection of prospective immi-
grants should be made overseas and
not at American ports.

FENWICK BRIDGE FINISHED

The new concrete bridge over Fen
wick creek, at the end of Market
Street, Salem, officially known as
"Fenwick Bridge" was opened for
travel on the 9Th.
1t replaces the old covered bridge,
built in 1881, and cost $4,000. As it
is part of the State Highway System,
the county will be reimbursed for
building it.
Work at tearing down the old lat
tice truss bridge, which cost 81, 900,
was begun in July, 1922. After build
ing began a soft bottom was found
and piling IS feet required to support
the new concrete structure, which is
5000 tons. 1t was to have been com
pleted in 100 working days. but condi-
tions made change of plans and
many delays, because of delay in
supplies and labor. Instead of costing
$4,000, it will be near 100000.
The old covered bridge required the
least repairs of any in the county and
was the most economical.

It's all very well to have an Aladdin
at ones service to change one into a
different parsonage or transplant one
into a different place But it's still
better to be able to do it Yourself
like Harold Lloyd.
Harold never needs to worry about
the formula or the magic words for
summonig the genii or about the
proper way to twist the ring.
All he has to do is to don some
grease paint and the well known spec
mind regarding the person he would
like to be and the place he'd like to
live, he has a little conference with
his scenario writer's.
That's all the magic necessary to
transform Harold Lloyd from like
able young chap into an adventurous
sailor, lOvesick coward, sunshine
doctor, a $500 per week department
store clerk or any other role he hap
pens to fancy.
Just now this mysterious cOmbina-
ton of grease paint, spectacles, and
scenario writer's have transplanted
Harold Lloyd to the wilds of an up-tO-
date department store in the COM
edian's new seven-reel PathecOmedy,

at the Liberty theater Saturday and
Sunday evenings.

The pasture season is long and both

plan to develop the logged off lands
into farms or to reclaim by irrigation
large areas that are still desert but
some day will be watered.
Moreover, the dairyman must pay
every attention to the raising rather
than the purchasing of the feed for
his animals and the production of
eggs, pork, berries and garden stuff,
not only for his own family but some
surplus from which additional income
may be derived.
Poultry farming has had almost un-
precented development in Washington
during the last ten years. This is due
largely to climate favorable for the
industry and attractive to many who
have moved to this section of the
country for climates sake and have
found it easier perhaps to start with
poultry than with any thing else. 1t
is also the result of strong market
ing organization which is able to com
pete on distant markets because of
high quality of eggs, attractive pack
and well organized selling. This In
dustry is still expanding not only west
but east of the Cascades. 1t is IN
doubtedly destined to develop further
in the years to come, especially on the
general farm where the flock can be
handled at minimum of expense,
getting its feeds for large parts of the
year from what otherwise would go
to waste and furnishing eggs not only
for home use but for market. Even
general farming sections will find 1t
to their advantage to strive for pro-
duct Of quality, attractively packed,
shipped and marketed to the best ad
vantage.
