Noise Ushers in New Year

The old year was ushered out and
the New Year in by the blowing of
the whistles of every engine in the
yards and roundhouse, together with
the big whistle of the roundhouse,
which racket was kept up for some
10 minutes. a more Internal row
you never did guaranteed to
wake the heaviest of sleepers and
disturb every dog in the neighbor-

each of the fiery locomotives appears
to be challenging the Others to make
the biggest noise. It's an unearthly
row and can be heard for miles
around, and once heard is never for
gotten.

CONTINUED from page u

United States. It's high time some
body called a halt and believe me,
they have surely halted quite a bit
within the corporate limits of the
town of Glenns Ferry. If a man
could only see himself when he is
suffering from this malady and when
he reaches the stage that he thinks
he owns the whole gol-durned town
and can do is he sees fit even to MAX
ing a fool of himself, then it's about
time he stayed at home and made a
man of himself. If he doesn't want
to do that, then he is welcome to
seek other fields where he can spend
his money and go the limit, for
Glenns Ferry as a whole does not
care to do business with that class
Of trash, for the moonshiner has quit
shining so brightly in our town and
a total eclipse may be expected at
any time now!

French name. It means 'tfamoua hoh-

through the early Provencal Alloys, a
masculine name In popular usage. Its
feminine, Aoyse, soon came to be
spelled Heloise and received Its ini-
tial fame through the lovely lady

was the theme Of much sentiment.
The name was taken to Scotland by
the archers, and reached England
through the wife Of the Norman VII

caused the name to be revived with

COLONlZlNC PLAN
OF Japs Will Fail in Amer
ica, Says Johnson

Japan must give up
the hope of colonizing her surplus pop
ulation in the United States" said
Congressman Johnston, chairman of
the house committee on immigration,
in reviewing Japan's efforts to secure
admission to this country for her
immigrants.
Mr.. johnson said the pending i'm
migration bill preserves all treaties
with Japan, and that the so-called
"gentlemen's agreement" with that
country is not treaty. He said a
restrictive immigration act is as truly
a conservation measure as any deal
ing with natural resources.
"Fully sO,OOO,OOO citizens are with
you today in this effort to restrict i'm
migration" he continued. "They are
the descendants of immigrants, eveyr
one of them, and they want bill
which does not discriminate against
them. They want an immigrant ACT
written for the 105,0O0,000 people II
the United States and not for any
other soul ON earth.
"They demand it for the welfare Of
their children, who, in so years, viii
bring our population to more thar
200, 100000. They demand it in th'
hope that conditions in this countr.
will not be like conditions in the coun
tries from which their ancestors came
They know of the present struggle t.
get out Of central, eastern and south
eastern Europe"
Mr.. Johnson stated that 100000 per
sons in Russia have applied for pass
ports to come to the United States
that 10000 are assembled at Warsa,
waiting for chance to emigrate, an
that 100000 Italians are seeking ad
mission to this country.
at has become necessary that tn
United States cease to function as a
asylum" he declared.

CHILD LABOR
Amendment Favored BY
House Judiciary Com
mittee

/ Washington.--The house judiciary
committee has ordered favorable re-
port on the joint resolution offered by
Congressman Foster proposing an
amendment to the constitution grant
ing congress the power to prohibit
child labor.
The amendment is short and easily
understood. Section l gives congress
the power to "limit, regulate and pro-
hibit the labor of persons under 18
years of age"
Section declares that the power Of
the several states to regulate their
own affairs shall be unimpaired by
this amendment except in the case of
child labor, which will hereafter be
considered a federal question.
The amendment is the result of two
failures by congress to regulate child
labor. The first law, passed in 1916
sought tor close interstate commerce
to the products Of child labor. 1t was
in operation nine months when it was
declared unconstitutional by the
United States supreme court. In 1915
congress made its second attempt tt
regulate child labor by levying a II
per cent tax on the net profits o.
establishments which employ children
contrary to certain standards. Thi.
act was also set aside by the suprem,
court.
4 Advocates of the second law wer,
confident the court would uphold thi
Legislation, which was intended to ia:
| the child labor evil out of existence
The court had previously upheld tn
