WAR PRODUCTION PROVES
 IMMIGRANTS NOT NEEDED

rely upon the natural increase of our own stock to provide the needed population, rather than to have re- course to foreign elements of uncer- tain value.
 eff, on the other hand we are al the ojtlmum stage, or are actually 1t would be manifest folly to run the chance of increasing the evils by accessions from abroad" ,"
 Prof Fairchild said that if a labor er does not produce more than he consumes there is no net gain to anybody"
 "If he produces more than he con- sumes, there IS net surplus. But this surplus does not go to the country at large, but to certain individuals. And these individuals belong, in general, to those classes which are already consuming at rate far above the average It is,, in fact, from exactly these individuals that the real demand for additional foreign labor comes.
 Unless the. foreign laborer in- creases the average per capita product of the country there IS no general gain from his presence, and there IS not the Slightest reason to, suppose that he does That the actual truth IS just the reverse is. clearly indicated by fig ures cited by Secretary Hoover"
 Prof. Fairchild believes major factor to Americas high standard of living is "the law ratio of men to land"
 s'Any further improvements in this standard are to be secured, not by in creasing this ratio, but by increasing the efficiency of the individual labor CT, by enlarged use of machinery, by technical discoveries, and by otser measures for improving the stage of the arts,' he said.

 To Be Investigated

Washington, Dec. 22-To investigated private detectives and other spies i'll in dustry is the purpose of a resolution introduced in the senate by MT. Wheeler of Montana.
 The resolution declares that various court proceedings and published inves- tigations tend to show that "a large number of private detective agencies are obtaining large sums of money from business concerns and organizations by falsely representing movements among their employees by manufacturing scares concerning radical propaganda and all legged plans for the use of violence ill industrial conflicts"
 These agencies and other interests connected with them" the resolution continues, fare detrimental to peace ful relationship between employers and empoyes, setting up system of espio- mage in industry, thriving on the unrest and fear they create and spreading false rumors and scares to maintain their al legged service"
 Senator Wheeler asks that the sen ate committee on education and labor be empowered to conduct an inquiry into the extent of this system of indus tria espionage in all its ranihcations. s

Are Lawyers Careless
 of Public's Welfare?

New York, Dec. z2.-Because the American bar association "sat supinely by ill the Craig case, Gustavus A. Ro- gers, of a Wall street firm of Lawyers, resigned from that organization.
 Mir Rogers charged the association with lodging the issue It neither, sup ported Comptroller Craig, as a lawyer mjustly convicted, nor did 1t uphold Judge Mayors action
 In letter to President Coolidge apo1- gizing for the. associations failure to act, Hr. Rogers said My feeling IS one of humiliation as to the inaction of my legal brethren in the matter
 In his resignation letter, Mir Rogers declared that the indifference of lawyers to the problems of the day has cost them the high place they formerly occu- pied in the community, and that there is "a growing tendency on the part of the public to hold the lawyer in disrespect'

Urge Better Housing

New York, Dec. 21-In the. hope that this city's insanitary tenement houses may be supplanted by modern structures, with adequate provision for light, air and recreation roofs for children, Acting Mayor Hubert has ordered triple survey of conditions. under which the poor of the city live. The city official said that the tax exemption law, passed by this city, and whie h applies to new buildings, has not helped the. tenement dweller to any. appreciable extent It did not, he said, attract capital into the con- struction of the cheaper type. of tene- ment houses. The building of a. san itary type of low rental tenement is worthy of serious consideration, said the acting mayor.
 Concentration of population has resulted in type of dwelling that has encroached Oh needed breathing spaces. The front yard has disap- peared The back yard is rapidly be- coming a rarity. Children find them selves forced into the streets, which no longer provide safety

New York, Dec 2I.-"The per cap ita production in this country has in creased decidedly during the period of reduced immigration following the outbreak of the war" said Henry Pratt Fairchild, professor of public and social economy, New York Uni versity, before an immigration con ference called by business men
 The speaker quoted Secretary of Commerce Hoover in disproving the claim that more immigrants are need ed in American industry.
 Prof. Fairchild said that practically every scientific student of the prob lem IS in agreement that the hope ot correcting production by emigra- ton is a complete illusion under mod .ern conditions.
 s"The forces of increase are con stantly pressing so hard upon the means of subsistence that the gaps left by emigration are quickly filled up by increases in the birth rate or decreases in the death rate and the size of the population remains the same" he said.
 we are under no obligation to at tempt to relieve European conditions by immigration, for the simple reason that immigration offers no real relief. Europe must find some other means of solving her problems"
 After demolishing the claims Of sentimentaliSts, who would throw aside every barrier to immigration, Prof. Fairchild analyses the statement that Americas industries need more immigrants
 There is little ground for believing that we are under-populated," he said. Even if we are, the situation will be corrected by the, rapid increase which we are at present experincing, and if is rnDhatically wiser policy to

 If cracked ice is to be used in the sickroom, it will keep longer if piece of cheesecloth is tied over the bowl and the ice kept in it. Cover the bowl with another and place paper bag over both. This will save many steps to renew the ice.
 For the bed-ridden who get so tired lying in one position, the following help will be greatly appreciated: Tie stout new cotton cloth strips on each side of the headboard or bed-frame having a large knot in the end o1 each strip to hold. By grasping these supports one may raise up or change position easily. The knots may bt slipped under the pillow when not IF use.
 For tired feet, mixture of baking soda and talcum, sprinkled into the shoes, will give great relief Fol corns and callouses, keep them GOV cred with adhesive tape, renewing al often as the bathing of the feet re moves the plasters. This keeps tht hard places soft.
 In applying adhesive plaster to | wound, use short strips with tape, fastened to the strips, which may b. united, the dressing changed and re tied without disturbing the adhesive at all.

 In explaining the southern migration of New England cotton mills, this hnan- cial spokesman syays:
