talnly there can be no hereditary
superiority in thoes of British, leu
tonic or Celtic ancestry over those of
Greek or Roman ancestry.
By all tests so far made if there
IS any superior" race, it is the
Jews. And the Chinese, having long
since starved their incapables, aver
age a good second. But there are
certainly assimilable and non-assimil-
able peoples.
A nation has built up a certain
civilization, based on certain Gus
toms, institutions and ideals. These
may be no better or worse than other
civilizations, but they are different.
1t speaks certain language, and
its people are of a certain physical
race. These things determine the de-
grees of assimilability. Such ma
ton can assimilate almost instantly
others of its own race and language.
= can assimilate rapidly those of the
same race and Of similar institutions,
and of related, through different,
language.
1t assimilates more slowly those
of slightly different race and very
different languages and institutions.
1t may not be able to assimilate at
all those of wholly different ply
steal race.
These are four classes. The Ameri-
can immigration law recognizes the
last three. 1t might be we'll to make
special provision for the first, also.

his doors and went home. Next
morning he found the Yale lock

several hundred dollars worth

tective for almost that much.
Surely these thieves can be caught
sometimes. They leave finger
prints. Some evidence is always
left behind"
Don't blame the police. They
work under orders. Too few of
them on at nights to cover the
town. Too many small cases in
the day, like the sassy negro boys
to give their attention to more
serious things.
Aren't we trying to swallow
camels and choking on gnats?
A horde of criminals are now
on their way South. Most of
them headed for Florida. They'll
work every town en- route,
especially those with inadequate
police protection.
The local merchant pays a special
business license. Too high at
best. He's entitled to protection.
The loss of S 500 worth of goods
is the net profit very often on
ten times that amount, That s too
heavy a burden for most mer-
chants to carry.

seldom catching a criminal be-

places where thieves are caught
are summed.

AN ABSURDITY
OF THE QUOTA LAW

An unattended absurdity of the
quota law was illustrated by the
plight of on Australian lady, engaged
to an American navy officer, who
had difficulty in landing in San Fran
cisco to be married, because she did
not come within the infinitesimal
quota which the low allows to Aust
ralia.
Of course, nobody intended that
the immigrat5 -. law should discrimi.
nate against Australia.
1t is the mere mathematical appli-
cation of formula, designed to dis
eliminate against eastern Europe,
, that shuts out the Australians. The
/ intention was to slow up immigra-
ton from the slowly assimilable peo-
plies, who had been coming faster
than they could be absorbed into Am
erican life, while favoring the rapid
ly assimilable ones. In the case of
! Australians and New Zealanders, it
has just the contrary effect.
NOulu II uOI De pOSSlUlSy Wulle
still keeping to the formula device,
to liberalize the law by a language
test?
! knowledge of English is one of
the elements of rapid assimilation.
There wauld be no danger of swamp
ing us by any probable immigration
from the English-speaking world,
and individuals from other lands who
knew English we'll would be few,
and these few would be either of a
desirable class or would be easily
subject to exclusion on other
! grounds.
1t would do no possible harm to
America to admit very literally all
lEnglish-speaking immigrants; to
keep the present fairly liberal quota
for the rapidly assimilable peoples of
western Europe who do not speak
English but soon learn it; and to re-
tain until we have digested those
now here the present restrictions on
others.

MEAT PROMOTERS

being obtained through the co-operat-
i've program adopted by all branches
of the live stock and meat industry
were revealed to the convention of
the Montana Stock Growers Associa-
tion now in session here by D. A..
Millett, chairman of the National Live
Stock and Meat Boar. Mr.. Millett in
his address, at yesterdays session, re-
ferred to the present situation con-
fronting the producer of meat ami
mails, and spoke at length regarding
the work of the Board. of which he is
chairman.
Under the urge Of n, wa, vast
quantities OF live stock were produced
in the United States he said. Live
stock production, if it happens to be
in excess of demand, cannot be immed-
lately decreased" He pointed out
that livestock producers, therefore,
are under the necessity Of merchan-
dising their product, and that move
ment of this kind is always in keep
ing with the general trend toward CO.
operation in industry.
Continuing, the speaker called at
tention to the fact that the National
Live Stock and Meat Board represents
cooperation in all branches of the live
stock and meat industry, since the
producers, packers, commission men,
and retail meat interests are all rep
resented on the Board. He explained
further that the Board is promoting
the interests Of the industry through
combating erroneous propaganda
against meat; conducting scientific re-
search on meat, through fellowships
at three universities; conducting scien-
tific research regarding the effect of
feed on the quality and palatability of
meat; studying the retail meat trade
through the agency of the Department
OF Agriculture, and educating the CON
sumner through an extensive program
under which millions Of pieces Of lit
erature have been distributed.

he spoke of the fact that though
there is an automobile for every sew

is only one bathtub to every 20 people.
"Our present day bathtubs, water
closets, showers, and kitchen sinks
with their necessary water supply and
sanitary sewers, were unknown in
America until the middle of the last
century" he continued.
1T is true that the ancient peoples
believed in frequent bathings. If that
ancient Egyptian, Pharo's daughter,
had not been believer in the bath, it
is quite possible that Moses would not
have been rescued from his watery
cradle.

a chance if she gives it to a man who
may grow tired of her before he is
in position to marry.
/ Whether or no mans love inereas-
es or decreases with the knowledge
that a girl loves him, depends entirely
on the man. A vain man is fatterel
by the knowledge that girl loves
him. He has such a lot Of respect and
admiration for her superior taste and
her excellent judgment that he mar
ries her. Other girls have saved the
day with tears when the man Of her
choice tried to break away from her.
He sympathized with her so deeply
for losing such fine man that it was
more than he could stand, so he mar
ried her.
Most men, however, prefer to do the
counting. | have a great deal of faith
in the Indifferent treatment. AS soon
as the average man finds he is being
pursued, rather than pursuing, he
loses interest. 1t requires a great deal
of tact to handle the sex that has
never lost the hunter instinct. If she
is wise the girl will not ask when he
is going to see her again, if she wants
to keep his interest.
OF course, the role of indifference
should not be carried too far. 1t must
not be obvious or played blatantly, be-
cause there is a lot of competition
about these days.
AS your young man doesn't seem in
any particular hurry about the nam
ing a wedding date, | should think the
best thing for you to dc is to try the
Indifference role, and along with it,
try going out with other boys. If it
is a question as to whether or not he
could support a wife, and he were
really anxious to get married, he
would insist that his sisters find po-
sitions and support themselves. IL he
really cares for you, and wants to
marry you, he will very quickly decide
what he is going to do when he thinks
he is going to lose you. You have

the line three or four inches deep and
fastening at each end three or four
inches from the edge to avoid too
much strain ON the corners. The
reason the corners of napkins and
table cloths wear out first usually is
that not enough care has been used
in hanging them on the line, and too
much weight and strain came on them
whipping in wind. The other hem
should be brought up and fastened to
hang full so as to blow out like a
sail, thus drying faster.
