DAVIS GETS ORDERS
AFFECTING CANADA.
Regulations Would Control
Border Crossing of Domin-
ion Natives to u. S.

By the Associated Press.
An order laying down definite reg
ulations to control temporary cross
ings of Canadian citizens at border
points such as Detroit was laid before
Secretary of Labor Davis today by
immigration service officials. Under
its terms the general immigration law
of 1924 will be made effective, but
delay before the application of the
more stringent requirements will be
allowed.
For many years Canadians employed
in industrial areas, such as that
around Detroit, have been enabled to
live in their own country and to make
their daily trip across the border
without documents of any kind The
new order will require such a Cana
dian to obtain a passport and q con-
sular visa as non-quota immigrant,
paying q SO passport fee and an $S
head tax. This document will enable
any Canadian-born citizen of Canada
to continue in an occupation on the
American side of the border and live
in Canada.
At the same time a naturalized
citizen of Canada, born in Europe,
will very probably find it impossible
to obtain such non-quota passport.

was approved This will give a direct
connection with Rock Creek Park to
traffic east of Fourteenth street with
out the necessity Of crossing Sixteenth

'DEMOCRTIC DRYS
SEEKING CANDIDATE
Senator Walsh of Montana
Suggested, With McAdoo
DiSinCIined to Run.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

The drys i'm the Democratic party
ARE looking for a candidate. They are
not sure they will be able to draft
William Gibbs McAdoo. He shows a
r7isinclination to get back into the
political arena The latest suggestion,
therefore. is that Senator Thomas j..
Walsh of Montana be given the sup
port of the drys. This idea is ad-
Nanced at a time when the opponents
o6 Al Smith realize that up to now
their arguments about a dry have
been misrepresented as really being
arguments against Al Smiths religion
Senator Walsh of Montana is Of the
same religious faith as Gov. Smith.
lie was popular enough at the iast
Democratic national convention. over
which he presided. to be sought for
Vice President. 1t is fact that the
convention was about TO nominate
ahirn for that office when he recOg-
nized a motion to adjourn. and urged
that the matter be deferred until 1t
could be further canvassed.
Hope to Eliminate Issue.
The viewpoint Of the drys is that
hv offering a dry" Catholic as a
candidate they will help to eliminate
she religious issue and contine the
fight to prohibition. This unqueStion-
ably will be the line of attack unless,
uf course. between now and the next
convention AL Smith makes a state
uent on prohibition which will per-
init the middle-o "drys" TO
sally TO his standard.
Another outstanding dry who is
being talked about is Edwin T.
Meredith of Des Moines, Iowa, Secre-
tary of Agriculture in the cabinet of
President Wilson and a staunch friend
a n
Meredith comes from a part of the
country in which disaffection prevails
against the Coolidge administration.
lie is not known as a radical, but as
a liberal. He is a business man who
has the confidence of business groups
in the East before whom he has made
several speeches in recent months.
Plenty of wet" Candidates.
Mr. Meredith's only handicap is
that the Democrats do not like to
select a candidate from a State whose
electoral vote they rarely if ever
garry.
Outside of Senator Walsh and
Meredith, the drys are really at a
loss for outstanding candidates. There
ere plenty Of wet" candidates. Gov.
Ritchie Of Maryland, Senator Reed of
Missouri, are alternates if AL Smith
doesn't win.
The disinterested political experts
who are not pushing any particular
pandidacy, especially national commit
teemen from Southern States, seem to
think that if any wet is going to be
nominated Al Smith has as good
chance as any. but they are insistent
that a man who has not been identi-
fed with the prohibition fight would
be a much more likely choice.

The immigration law rates aliens
in accordance with their country or

it is probable that Russian and

the Hawaiian islands like poi.
Poi. however, is the Hawaiian stss,

poi. It Is a gray, p~astelike material
made by pounding the root OF the taro
plant. It Is eaten with the fingers
and choice determines its thickness
It may be Of one-hnger, two-fnger -
t~hree-hnger consistency.
The preparation Of lomilomi saIr,u
Is simple. Uncooked salt salmon q
picked into small bits. Chopped
matOes and onions are added. Bv
