Plea for Alien Wives.

Mrs. Betty Kjelsberg, Norway's
foremost woman social reformer is
striving to unite Norwegian and
Swedish women in a campaign to
bring about freer conditions of entry
into the United States for the wives
of Scandinavian emigrants. Mrs
Kjelsberg urges that the wives of
Scandinavian men in the United States
be admitted irrespective of the quota.
The fornalities of the examination
IF newcomers, Mrs. Kjelsberg declares,
should be .simplified and the examina-
tions should be. in the country of de-
parture and not at Ellis Island. 1t is
quite common, she says. that man
goes over to America, makes good and
wants his wife to follow him. Owing
to the strict limits of the quota he
sometimes has to wait several years,
delay that often breaks up families.

Surgeon Adds $1,000
to Income Statement

According to a story that is current
in medical circles, says the Intransi.
geant. a surgeon declared his income
to the French revenue authorities al
$1,000 francs approximately s2.400),
A few weeks later he sent a bill for
10000 francs (s770) to a patient or
whom he had performed an operation,
Two days later he received from his
tax collector the following:
II am surprised to find that you
performed only three operations last
year. Considering the fee you re-
ceived from my cousin, whose life
you saved and for which I thank
you, do you not think you ought to
put a figure in front of the amount
mentioned in your income-taX declara-
tion?' The surgeon took the hint and
raised his declaration from $1,000 to
t67 900 francs ($6.423).

The fact that extra.territorial rights
have been achieved by foreign nations

the report. 1t is also confined to the
northern part Of China and bases its
complaint upon the mal-admlnistration
Of the governments Of the north by

mention Of the situation with regard

The contradiction of basing the re-
port on the bad actions of the mill

concern the commissioners. Summed
up, the decision to retain extra-ter.

The queen is returning home and

pay her way back. In fact better girls
than Marie are known to have walked
home after joyriding in automobiles.
OUR big butter and egg men are no
~ longer quarreling over the privi-
lege Of serving the queen of Rou-

court intriguers for all they care. A
hundred million dollars would enable
her to buy up every capitalist poIiti-
clan in Roumania and have enough
left over to throw a few "Cotsofa-
nestis." But beneath the intrigues of
rival reactionary politicians and the
illness, real or alleged, of her imbecile
husband, there is reason to believe
that the oppressed masses of that UNI
fortunate country are straining at
their letters.
TT is quite possible that the $780,
4 5000 loan which the queen want
ed to jimmy out of the safes of the
American bankers was specifically
needed to purchase poison gas for the
next revolt of the Roumanian workers
and peasants. But much tho our bank
