UNCLE TED'S BEDTIME
STORIES
Z: z
American Ideals and Standards
Threatened

They had been playing for all they
were WOrthi First it was in their own
yard, then Freddie's and then all over
the town. To say that they were tired
and hungry would be to put it mildly.
On their wanderings in search of a
kiddies' good time, they had as their
playmates little Giovanni Gisseppi and
his sister Marietta, two Italian chill
dren whose father was a cobbler.
They had never met before and the
black hair, black eyes and olive skin
created a great amount of interest.
Both Ruth and Jack could talk of
nothing else at the supper table and
after the plates were cleared and eV-
eryone had passed into the living room
by the fireplace, the talk continued.
"You kiddies seem to be very much
interested in your Italian chums,"
said Uncle Ted.
'I liked them," answer Jack. "They
talk so funny. But they are mighty
nice"
"Of course, they are nice," answer
ed Uncle Ted. "YOur enthusiasm over
these two children reminds me of
story that might be interesting at this
time. In fact, your enthusiasm is a
good deal like the enthusiasm of I'm
Gle Sam regarding all matters pertain
ing to the coming of foreigners to our
shores. 1 don't mean that Giovanni and
his sister aren't all right. They are
probably fine kiddies. What do mean
is this:
"If we don't restrict in some way
the coming of immigrants, that is, for
eigners who come to our country to
live, the very ideals and standards of
American life will be in danger of be-
ing undermined. You see, it is all right
that we should have people from other
countries coming to our country, but
we should in some way see to it, eth
er before they leave their native land
or byregistr alton and sending back of
undesirables, that the flood of foreign
ers be limited.
Gust think, kiddies. Nearly 28,000,-
900 native born whites of native Am
erican parents live in our cities BUT
there are over 26,000,000 whites of for
eign birth or foreign stock and of
these more than 100000 are foreign
born. The records Of the Department
of Labor show that of nearly 14,000,-
900 foreign born whites, less than half
are naturalized citizens.
"The yorst part to me is that, de-
spite the laws now supposed to be in |
force, we have coming into our coun-
try many classes of foreigners who
should never be allowed to land. We
are supposed to bar all Chinese, in
sane people, blind, deaf, crippled and |
so on, but recent survey of the sit
uation shows that this is not being |
done as it should be.
"a committee of the House of Rep
recently made study of
this very thing and here is what they
found. The foreign born make up
about IA per cent Of our population
but they furnish THIRTY PER CENT

SUPPOSED 10 BE KEPT OUT OF

THE COUNTRY.
"No man has given this situation a
more careful study than Robe Carl
White, Assistant Secretary Of Labor
who is in charge of immigration. Be
ing at the very pulse of the situation,
he realizes what is going on and what
must be done. He knows that the rest
of the world thinks Uncle Sam is easy
and that anything goes.
EVERY one who hears all Of these
facts naturally wants to know what
can be done to help the trouble. Mr..
White feels that there is one plan
worth trying. That is to restrict and
select the immigrants and enroll all
aliens who have come to our shores
in the past as well as in the future.
Let me read something he said recent
ly which tells the story much better
than can.
"'Restrict immigration until we
have had time to absOrt into our ma
tional life the foreigner already here,
and select the future immigrant, see
at least, that he is sound in body and
mind before he starts for America. Say
to the world, as do other countries,
we want immigrants, hove room for
more immigrants, but we reserve the
right to do the choosing, that we will
no longer take those whom you wish
to get rid of. We want only those who
will fit in. This is strictly our soVer-
eign right.
"'Then we should have a law regis
tering or enrolling all aliens until
they become naturalized citizens, in
order that we may help them to be-
come AmericaniZed.'
''Mr. White also points out that
while some people think the registra-
ton of aliens an .un-American thing to
ask, there is also to be remembered
that every taxpayer is enrolled and
that there is nothing evil about that!
whether he is right or wrong, what
he says is worth remembering and
thinking about. Now you see what
your little Italian friends started?
didn't mean to drag the story out but
I do think it is worth while as a ser
ious problem to study.
Goodnight"

AIR GUN Invented FOR
PACKING HOUSE USE

The demonstration of the devices
invented in competitor for the Ten
Thousand Dollar Prize offered by the
American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals of New York
in cooperation with the American
Humane Association . took place in
large Armour Abattoir at Chicago
Monday, one because his device broke
down, the other because of the i'm
practicability of his instrument. The
desire of the Committee had been for
a device, practicable, safe, rapid in
action, and by which an animal could
be instantly and painlessly destroyed.
The operation of the third contest
ants device was therefore watched
with great interest. Representatives
were present from the American
Humane Association, the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, and the Institute of
American Meat Packers, and from the
Armour and Swift Companies. 1t
should be said that the Institute of
American Meat Packers is an organ
ization composed of more that 100 of
the large packing houses of the United
States. The officers of the Institute
had promised the fullest cooperation
in arranging for the demonstration.
This promise was kept not only in the
letter but in the most generous spirit
of good will, the Armour Company
providing every facility for the test
that could be desired.
The third device consists of what
might be called an air gun, operated
by compressed air and driving a bolt
into the brain with the rapidity of a
bullet. The moment the point of the
gun which sheathes the bolt touches
the animals head pressure of the con
tact releases the bolt, which having
dropped the animal without concious
suffering to it, springing back into
place by air compression. This gun,
rightly placed, never failed to accom-
plish its purpose. The first day the
arrangement of the slaughter-pen was
such hat it was difficult several times
for the operator to reach the steer.
The second day, by putting men to
work through the night, the Armour
Company had narrowed the pen, and
greatly facilitated the ease with which
the operator could demonstrate the
invention. After dropping a number
of heavy steers himself, the operator
turned the gun over to one of the
regular employees whose daily task
is the stunning by use of the hammer,
and this man, with no previous ex-
perience, found no difficulty in its
use except on two occasions when he
failed to place the gun at the vital
spot.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS
CONTINUED from first page)

with a sullen and unwashed man at
the door, who called raspingly to
his wife within.
And when she came she was
slattern with disheveled hair and
soiled dress and apron, and she
looked miserable and worn-out. She
prepared a meal which | could not
eat, and when | went to pay for
it | found her sitting dejectedly in
chair looking with kind of dumb
despair at the days washing-up
still to do.
And as | walked up and down the
road waiting for the car, thought
of this woman's earlier life when she
was happy. thought of her in her
courtship, when her husband loved
her and they looked forward to
marriage, and he was tender and
she was blithe.
They probably went to Coney Is
land together, and laughed. And it
seemed iniquitous that such changes
should come about, and that merry
girls should grow into sluts and SLOW
erns, and ardent young husbands
should degenerate into unkempt bull
lies, and houses meant for happiness
should decay and marriages promis-
es all be forgotten.
And / felt that if the world could
not be better managed than that,
nver wanted to see any of Gods
their form again, and the Metro
artistic darlings at the top of
politan Museum could go hang!
