POsTFONIlgS TROUBLE

trnitadelphia evening bulletin).
The National Origins scheme faces a postponement
for another year which may well spell its doom as a
method Of immigration restriction. Last year the
house wanted to kill it BY lifting the provision bodily
from the law, but the senate held OFT fer pastponement
from 1927 to 1928. The senate committee On immigra-
tion has approved a resolution rostponiag its applica-
tion for still another year, making il effective in 1929.
The quotas have already had one revision, eniarging
the Irish and other ~alIotmen.s. and a second revision
Is in sight before the time comes for action next year.
To make the plan effective for 1929 action must be
taken IN the short session, and tina. may prove difficult
In view Of the determined opposition that has hecn
shown in two congresses to the plan.
The National Origins scheme proposes to apporsion
the 10000 immigrants to be allowed entry to the ccun-
try annually among the various Municipalities in the
ratio which persons Of each nationality had to the en-
tire population Of the United States in 1929. There ar
two big objections to the scheme: Accurate data 70
determine the 1920 proportions are lacking. and the
plan cuts down quotas Of immigration generally re-
garded, even by strict restrictions, as desirable in COM
parison to the present plan.

The World and All

By Charles P. Driscoll

You have arrived 1t certain age. For the purposes
Of this discussion il does not much matter what age
You have possessed two commodities that are greatly
valued BY human beings-time and money. Perhaps
you still have some Of each Of these commodities. But
what did you do with the time and money you had?
Most persons will say regretfully that they have
misspent much time and money. Arriving at "A certain
age, they say to themselves, well, I am a wear older
but ! am not a year richer. I have wasted my time
and money"
Strangely enough, ! do not have this feeling at ali.
Looking back casually, / cannot say that any Of my
time or money has been wasted. Well, perhaps | should
note an exception. I did pay for a ticket to see Jeanne
Eagles in Her Cardboard Lover" once. However. |
stayed through only one act plus four minutes. 50 that
the waste Of time was not grievous, though I must say
that the waste Of money was more serious.
People are very apt to put too high a valuation upon
their time and money, when they accuse themselves o.
wasting.
Tom Moore. for instance, says:
The time I've lost in wooing,
In watching and pursuing
The light that lies
In woman's eyes
Has been my hearts undoinE.
strongly suspect that Mr.. Moore was vaIuino ~.
time far above its market quotation when he mournea
thus As for myself, ! have never regretted the time
I've loaf IN wocing nor the time expended in watching
and pursuing TIE light that lies in wcman's ewes. !
suspect that time was very we'll spent. I cannot think
Of any manner in which / could have spent Il more
pleasurably Or more p~rofitabIy for my souls peace.
There Is s1ch : thing as wasting time. of course
and one can waste money. But an activity that wopld
be time wasting for one person might be excellent IN
vestment Of time for another. For instance. I canro.
invest my time better than listening to a good svm-
phony concert Now, I know many persons for whom
such activity would be criminal waste Of time.
On the other hand, a bridge game would he s;rfr1

it is essential for carrying out of this

British Governments, which presum-
