UNCLE SAM
Can Control Admission OF
Aliens

If there ever was such thing as
a domestic question, immigration is
just that.
1t is not the business of any other
nation if America wishes to exclude
their nationals for any reason or for
no reason at all. If we shut out red
haired Italians, while permitting red
haired Russians to come in, or exclude
all of them who do not have wart
on the end of the nose, that is our
business and not theirs. If they want
to return the compliment, that is their
privilege.
Congress should exclude Japanese.
Chinese, Italians, Russians, Scandi-
navians or anybody else it wants to
at any time for any reason or for no
reason at all, provided it's action con-
duces the welfare and safety of the

~ stop In the woods near some ferns
where Mr.. Turtle was resting Good
morning, Grandpa" said Mr.. Fox. Il
expect you must be pretty tired, you
travel so fast.
Mr.. Turtle was slow to wrath. In
the first place he did not mind being
called grandpa, for. he was very old,
and In the NEXT place he was so wise
that he was sorry for Mr. Fox, he was
10 young and fiippant.
''Good morning, Mr.. Fox replied
Mr.. Turtle In digniled manner Il
am not really In need Of rest, but |
like to take time TO enjoy the things

CARRIAGE AND MOTIONS OF THE
HANDS.

vKyHILE the characteristics. ten
w dencies, propensities. ETC., Of a
person may be read best from the
lines, the mounts and the signs Of the
hands, all taken together and to each
assigned it's proper significance, much
may also be learned from the manner
In which the subject carries his or her
hands and moves them.
For example, when the person is OF
an open, frank nature. he will have
little to conceal, and will open his
hand or palm freely to the gaze. The
hand of one whose thoughts and life
need concealment will close more or
less tightly, and the fingers will en-
deavor to hide the palm, as 1t We're.
Note, therefore, whether the subject
seems bent on hiding his palm. even
before he knows that he is under OBJ
servation, and deduce therefrom Sc
creuve nature.

CAN'T SEARCH REC
ORDS

Washington. - The United States
supreme court has ruled that the fed
eral trade commission can not exam
inc records of corporations in the
hope that something will turn up. The
commission must have knowledge of
wrong doing, rather than be privil-
eyed to search in the hope of secur-
ing this information, said the court.
The mere fact that one is engaged
in interstate commerce does not make
mems affairs public, said the court.
This does not apply to railroads, the
court pointed out.

much about how much easier and congenialy you

you are woman you think that the other man whom
you have In mind would have made more of success in
life than your husband you probably center your
thoughts around that girl who always well dressed

It is dangerous line Of thought and if allowed to con-

is not difficult to poison the mind with such thoughts
and rob of peace of mind and the feeling of con-

You do wish to become warped and biased disconnected

Don't you realize that you saw the other ones only

There may be many things about that you remember
which would make far unhappy than the redeem
