"BootIegging" Of Immigrants
to u. S. From Mexico to
Meet Obstacles
BY HARRY WARD.
Iwkawm@tfnwaV News Service.

President Elias Plutarco Gales.
who recently was inaugurated CHIEF
Magistrate OF the Republic OF Mex
leo, is not at all inclined to have
his country serve as the stepping
stone to the United States for aliens
who are unable to obtain legal
entry into this country.
This was the message Acting
Secretary Of Labor 2. ]. Henning
brought back to Washington, after
a series Of conferences with Presi'
dent Gales and other Mexican Of
ficialsf regarding plans for tighten
ing up the border against the
hordes Of aliens who are slipping
across, in violation OF the American
immigration laws.
Europeans Arriving.
European aliens are travelling BE-
tween northern European ports,
principally Rotterdam, and Vera
Cruz and Tampico, Mexico, in large
numbers" said Acting Secretary
Henning. mo one in the least
familiar with the situation will con.
tend Tor q moment that conditions
in North America, south Of the Rio
Grande, are such as to justify
European immigration. It is singu-
lar to note, also. that few: If any,
OF the aliens apprehended are Eng
fish, Irish. German, or Of any other
nationality whose quota under the
present Liquidation is reasonably
large: the majority of them are of
numerical limitation OF which has
been materially decreased by the
1924 immigration act. These aliens
subsequently find their way to the
shores of the Rio Grande. where
they lie In wait for the opportunity
to slip by the immigration forces
who guard the 2,100 miles Of inter
national boundary"
Mexico To Aid u. s.
Acting Secretary Henning said
the Mexican government was
planning to go forward with some
kind Of program that will aid this
Government In stemming the tide
Of aliens drifting across the Dor.
der. AS result Of his visit to
Mexico, which included tour Of
inspection Of American immigra-
ton offices along the border, Hen"
ming expressed confidence that
there would be better cooperation
in controlling the border against
UOOIlSBB1HB Oh dAlSIlS
Secretary Henning said President
Gales believes that ultimately all
Pan-American countries must adopt
the American plan Of restrictive
and selective immigration, and
Mexico is planning to tighten UP its
ports at once against those Eu.
ropeans who merely enter Mexico In
order to gain easy access to the
United States.
with the Inauguration Of PreSi-
dent Gales, Mexico apparently is
headed for a long period Of peace.

Future Man to Lose
Fingers, Toes, Teeth
And Hair

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 3.--
Future man win lose many, II
not all Of his teeth; he will be
absolutely hairless, and he VIII
undoubtedly lose certain OF his
toes and fingers. These are
the predictions, announced here
based on scientific study by r,
e. Raymond, professor Of pale
anthology and geology 1t HaTe
ward University. :.
These changes probably VIII
consume 10000 to 10000 years,
said Professor Raymond. Other
changes, the professor predicted,
will be a frightening and broad
eninR of the forehead and an
enlarging Of the skull to make
room for the increase IN size
Of the brain. A lengthening Of
the face is expected. There Is
little likelihood that future man
will lose his erect position,
height or weight.
6sThe ape man used his teeth
to tear sinews, break nuts and
as weapons Of defense in fight
ing" said Professor Raymond.
Civilization has done away with
these conditions and teeth have
lost their vital Importance. Hair
Il q defense given Us by nature

covering. Man will lose certain
of his fingers and toes, because
