Evolution of Immigrant Pictured
 at KiWanis Banquet

The type of the immigrant com ing to America has changed. accord ing to Edwin P. Root, president of the New Haven Clock Co.,, who spoke last evening at the fifth an- nual banquet of the New Britain kiwanis club. MT. Root had for his subject "A Day at Ellis Island"
 He opened his address by calling attention to the manner in which America is favored by immigration laws. He said he existance of such laws tends to prevent such over-con- gestion as is proving the ruin of oth- CT countries.
 "We have no actual poverty in America" said MT. Root. who added that only two and half per cent of the people of America pay the taxes of the country.
 Referring to the educational ad- vantages of America, Mir. Root said nine-tenths of the boys in America have no opportunity to choose their own vacations but that much of their future is matter of circum- stance. "The minister who mands

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 30, 179I.-The protesting prop
erty holders who have heretofore re-
fused to sign deeds in accordance with
their agreement transferring to the
Government land within the Federal
territory on which the new Capital City
Is to be located. today yielded and
signed the deeds. Their previous re-
fuSal has delayed plans for laying out
the new city three months.
Five property holders who were
among those who agreed to sell their
land to the Government refused to
sign deeds when they saw how the
bounds of the city were defined. They
maintained that greater quantity of
land was included in the plan of the
city than they had understood Presi-
dent Washington to have in mind. and
besides. they said. taking land We
never had in contemplation
would only tend to lessen the value of
the rest, as the price of lots
would diminish in proportion as the
number for sale increased"
President Washington desires that
the city be laid out on broad lines, with
plenty of room for future growth. He
is opposed to any contraction of the
plans as drawn by Maj. Pierre Charles
LEnfant.
The President wrote to the City Com
missioners from Charleston. S. c., last
month, expressing disappointment that
"the fair prospect" which was present.
ed when he left Georgetown should be
darkened He added that If he had dis
covered at his conference at that time
with the property holders disposition
to contract my views, I should have
then pointed out the inconvenience
and impolicy of the measure"
The President in his letter warned
that the property owners on the site
of the proposed new seat of Govern
ment had better act in harmony with
the plan or Congress might reconsider
its decision to locate the city on the
Potomac. He referred to what is be-
ing done in Philadelphia TO provide
buildings for the Federal Government
in the hope that the Federal seat will
not be removed from that city.
The signing Of the deeds by the pro-
testing property holders today was a
great relief to the City Commissioners
and all others who have the interest Of
the Potomac site at heart.

THE GARDEN
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS

A garden of Austria has a unique
place in history, for at Miramar, near
| Trieste, Macmillan and Carlotta en-
joyed an idyllic life, not the least of
whose delights was the lovely garden.
The marble palace rose abruptly from
the high, rocky coast of the Adriatic. A
lite bay runs inland, and by its shore
were long lines of evergreens, among
and beyond which were found Summer
houses, beds of lovely flowers, fountains
and marble StairwayS and Statuettes
| which cleaned against the background
of the dark trees, Three years in this
enchanted Spot-followed by the grim
tragedy of Mexico! Is 1t surprising
that the contrast unsettled the mind of
the widowed Queen?
Holland has its formal gardens, trim
and orderly. The cultivation of tulips
has been carried on in commercial
gardens since the sixteenth century.
Holland raised many of the bulbs
which brought such enormous prices
during the tulip craze of 1634-37, when
the whole nation went mad over the
possession of these f1owers-in-embryo
Everybody raised tulips, sometimes SELL
ing necessary possessions in order to
buy garden lands or bulbs. The climax
came when the Semper Augustus
brought $4,000 forms, and the govern
ment was forced to limit the price paid
| for bulbs In time, the usual thing hap
pened, the people began to come to
their senses. Growers found them
selves with many more bulbs than
customers. Numerous small gardens OF
HARLEM have little ''moneyless paths"
sad reminders of the awakening from
the craze. Another is found in the
Tulip House in HARLEM. which was
sold for one tulip. When it was altered
i'll later years, stone was set in, bear
ing carved tulip and the inscription:
1887,
This stone was kept as remembrance
of the famous tulip trade OF the year 1887.
when one fool hatched from another tne
wise without knowledge.
A garden of Sweden probably helped
to win the love of the people for
princess from another country who be-
came one of the their royal family.
Margaret of Connaught, first wife of
the Crown Prince. found an oppor-
tunity to crafty her English love for
gardens at the royal residence Sofiero,
or "Sophie's Rest" on the southern
coast of Sweden. The estate was for
merly the home of King Oscar and
Queen Sophie, who gave 1t to their
grandchildren, the Crown Prince and
his bride, at their wedding. 1t was
made beautiful under the direction Of
the princess, who often worked in 1t
herself and encouraged her children to
do the same. The little gray garden
with its dainty flowers of bluish-gray,
or foliage of dusty gray, and the herbs,
with their many healing qualities, were
favorite spots in this beloved garden to
the princess, She wrote charming
book describing it, THE Garden That
We Made" illustrating 1t with copies Of
oil paintings of her own and photo
graphs taken by herself and the Grown
Prince. The people called her their
Flower Princess" associating her with
the garden she so much loved.

Superhuous Hair.

Again and again women write and
ask me what to do with superfiuous
hair, meaning not only what grows
above the lips, but on the arms and
legs. Now, for under the arms and for
the legs there are all sorts of depila-
tories, but personally I'd suggest buy
ing safety razor, seeing its blade is
sharp, and shaving.
It's perfectly easy, and Ii the razor is
good and the blade well held down be-
tween the two pieces of metal, you can
not cut yourself. Use just ordinary
mild soap and warm water, rub the
skin we'll with the fingers for minute,
then shave. You need no special soap,
nor a lot of lather. as q matter of fact
you could shave the arms and legs at
once after any warm soapy bath
Be more careful with the legs than
the armpits. Run the razor lightly
over the skin. The chiffon weight
stockings we wear these days makes 1t
necessary to keep the legs free OF hair
II the hair Is dark. AS 1t takes at least
three weeks, If not more, for the hair to
grow In enough to be at all noticeable,
this is not a bother. Armpits must be
shaved once week II you wear sleeve
less evening gowns.
Hair on the face, or growing OUT OF
line on the eyebrows, must be pulled
with tweezers. It's perfectly easy. you
need only tweezers, good light and a
clear mirror. But before and after the
operation put peroxide OF hydrogen or

ing the skin antiseptic so no germ
could lodge in the pore where the hair
has been pulled, and to bleach the tiny
hair under the skin, which will some
day grow through. When 1t grows

rub the oil out every day with soft

A visiting actor told us the story
yesterday of an old player noted among
his fellows as wit, but who had the
unhappy faculty of forgetting his lines.
No matter how often he appeared in
play, his fellow actors were on edge for
fear he would fall down" before the
final curtain. Aside from this fault
the man was an exceptionally fine per-
former, and his services were in de-
mand.
On night he opened in a new show.
The rehearsalS had been satisfactory,
and apparently he knew his stuff. All
went we'll until the second act, when
the player suddenly forgot his line
Another actor on the stage whispered
desperately to him, Say something!
Say something! Anything!"
For a moment there was silence, and
then came the astounding words, VIII
killed Cock Robin?" This caused
burst of laughter from his fellow play
ers and nearly stopped the show.
