percentage Of the willy, crafty, sharp,

from all the world to our shores.
1t is not as it was when your an

elements are organized to come here
where the picking is easier. OF
course many straight, honest. indus
trious people still come, but they are
being swamped in some countries by
the worse element.
1t is our own fault.
We make this country contemplate
by letting other countries select the
people to come.
Through Passport System

lea. We still act the fool consistently,
especially in immigration.
After he gets his passport from his
government, he goes to an American
consul and has it viseed-and then
he can come. The merely formal part
is done by our officials. The essen
tial part is done by the foreign gov

is sane.
We ought to abolish the passport

these officers the task Of selection.

keep out the human poison. And
when any government objects to this,
why the best thing to do is to-let
them object. It's our country after
all, not theirs We have the say. and (

ONE IDEA OF LIFE
Another Scientist Holds Meteor Was Origin of First Living
Creatures Spontaneous Generation Is Also Belief

Neither the theory of Lord Kelvin
nor the theory of vitalism can be
proved~or disproved by scientists at
the present time.
There are a number Of theories to
account for the origin of life upon this
earth which have been named after
the scientists who originated them
According to Phuger's theory, the
formation of the compound, cyanogen,
was the first step in the process.
Cyanogen compounds form basic
part in protein.
A cyanogen compound can only be
formed in the presence Of incandescent
heat. Phluger therefore thought that
these compounds were formed when
the earth was still molten.
Since they absorbed much energy
in the form of heat in forming, he

All proper folk would shudder II they
heard that common phrase,
And they'd look upon the speaker
with a cold contemptuous gaze,
And they'd think his ways and man
ners with vulgarity we're rife
II they heard Bill Hubbard saying,

There's no doubt that Bill is vulgar,
he's a common sort OF chap.
And there's not line paTician in his
figure or his map.
But If you could see the wonder and
the happiness and pride
Which his features are revealing
when his wife is at his side,
You would sense a tender glory that
suffuses all his life
When you heard Bill Hubbard say

Love can make pure golden metal Of

And it isn't words that matter, but
the way that they are said:
And when Bill gives you a knock

spouse
There's almost a radiant halo round
his not-too-lofty brows;
And his voice is full of wonder and
his eyes are misty-dim
AS if dazzled at this fortune which
has come alone to him;
Meet my sweetheart, meet my darl-

storm and strife!"
That's what Bill means when he bids

Another theory is known as Allen S

But many experiments eliminating

Consequently we are faced with
the problem: How did life originate
upon the earth7
The late ord Kelvin, British sci

have been brought to the earth in the
form of some simple organism upon
a meteor which fell to earth or upon
a comet which collided with it.
That. however, only pushes the
question Of the origin of life into
some inaccessible corner Of the uni
verse.
The majority of modern scientists
prefer to believe that life originated
upon this earth shortly after it had
passed through the formative period
