IDENTIFICATION CARDS TO BE ISSUED TO ALIENS

A new policy of providing all aliens authorized to enter the United States, except those who come solely for the porpose of study, with iden- tifcation cards to be issued by the American Consuls at their ports of departure, has been adopted by the Bureau of Immigration, Department of Labor. It became effective July l.
 The order, prepared by George j.. Harirs, acting Commissioner ol immigration has been approved by IW w. Husband acting Secretary of Labor, and was made public | June Is.
 The identification cards will con | tain the name and the description of l the immigrant and will bear his photograph firmly attached. Similar cards have been issued heretofore only to Chinese Extension of the system to immigrants in general is expected not only to protect the i'm migrant after his arrival but to fa ciltate the work of the Immigratiol I Bureau,

In one part of our country we call a certain fish a rayfish. Tn an other part we call it stinger. That does not do the slightest harm even t0 the fish. Tn certain places man is called wealthy if he has $5O,0OO. In other places he is not called veal thy until he has few million dol Iers. The distinction between these places is that they have different standards of wealth Which is also not worth thinking about.
 But the matter becomes moreser icus when you realize that goodness in one locality is merely stupidity in another, 'good fellow among 8 certain class, a good education from the standpoint of ignorance, IS profound stupidity from thet stanu point of wisdom.

MARMON sales
and PRODUCTION
PASS TOTAL.
Now Leads Whole Industry
in Manufacture of
Straight Fights.

Production and sales of Marmon
straight Fights this year have
mounted, month by month, to so
great an extent that the total out
put in the first five months of the
year was equal to the entire produc-
ton in 1927.
Likewise, the company's activ-
tiles since the Marmon "69" and
"78" were introduced to the public
early this year have expanded to
the point where Marmon now leads
the entire industry in the nanufac-
ture of straight-eight automobiles.
Sales Units Boom
These facts were announced by H.
H. Brooks, general sales director of
the Marmon Motor Car Company, in
a statement reviewing the COM
pany's business from Jan. to June
/ of this year, in which he reported
that sales Of Marmon straight
Fights are maintaining a volume
more than 100 per cent greater than
last year.
In 1927 the company first entered
into the manufacture of straight
Fights and established the highest
record in it's history, not only in
the number of units sold at retail
but in total volume of business.
The new records are the result
of the rapid growth in the popularity
of the straight-eight type of motor
car, now available to all classes of
automobile buyers, and the remark
able increase in the Marmon dis
tributor and dealer organization
which has increased 10 per cent
so far this year, Brooks said. The
company has retail sales outlets in
practically every community in the
United States and is represented in
forty-eight foreign countries.
Foreign Sales Increase
Inasmuch as Brooks statement
was issued as of June it does not
include production and sales in the
month of June, one of the heaviest
buying periods of the year. Marmon
production, therefore, reached last
years total, even though the second
quarter of the year has not yet
ended. June sales are showing an
increase over last year that CORE
spends to the gains made in the
other months of the year, it is
reported.
One of the highlights of Mar
mons 1928 record has been the in
crease in export sales, revealing that
motorists in Europe and other for
eign countries are turning toward
the American type of straight-eight.
The gain in Marmon foreign sales
is even greater than the increase in
domestic business sales abroad this
year averaging 300 per cent ahead
of last year at this time.

School is out and the children are
back on the streets. The summer
spirit is in them and their youthful
caperings are hard to control.
Along with this freedom, to make
matters worse for safety, is the in
creased travel of summer.
Put both together and we have a
dangerous situation, provided we
can cope with it properly. Schools
provide Fairgrounds in summer to
Offset the dangers of the streets.
Cities rope off play streets to keep
the motor car from disturbing the
youngsters.
Yet we can't force the children
to the Fairgrounds or into the roped
areas. There's always some child
that will dart off the sidewalk for
ball, regardless of approaching
cars. And we can't expect them to
think first, in the excitement of
their games.
It is for us, therefore, to think
and be cautious for the children.

TOURIST INFLUX RAISES

MONTREAL, June 20.-Reports
from all provinces received by the
Canadian Good Roads Association
indicate that higher expenditures
will be made this year on Canadian
highways than during any past year
in their history.
The great increase in motor traffic
in Canada, combined with the an

from the United States, are causes
behind the increased expenditure on
highways. Last year the enormous
total of 3,153, 300 automobiles entered
Canada from the United States for

WICHITA TAKES
HONORS AS AIR
CAPITAL OF U. S.
Six Plane Factories Run
Full Blast; Two Others
Build Motors.
Aviation

Bp United Press
WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 2O.-If
there is one city in the United
States that takes its flying seriously
it is Wichita.
The aeronautical industry has
been developed here beyond any
expectations. Figures show Wichita
will manufacture approximately
one-third of the airplanes turned
out in the United States this year.
Six factories, one listed among
the largest in the country, are turn
ing out the latest model airplanes,
unable to meet the demand, despite
improved production methods.
The six, in order to their size
and output, are: Travelair, twenty
planes a week; Swallow Airplane
Company, seven; Cessna Aircraft
Company, three; Swift Airplane
Company, two planes produced to
date, with projected production
of one a week, and Laird Aircraft
Company, one every two weeks.
Produce Many Types
The Wichita factories produce all
types of planes except the giant
tri-motor. Luxurious cabin mono
planes and biplanes, swift little two
seaters, air mail craft-all are
manufactured here.
Incidentally, Wichita boasts the
oldest commercial airplane company
in the United States, the Swallow
firm.
But the factories, important as
they are, are only a part OF the
industry here. There are two motor
companies; the Wichita Blue Streak
Motor Company, and the Quick Air
Motors.
The latter company has erected
a factory, and production of five
motors a day is scheduled. 1t will
have an annual turnover of more
than 100000.
Has Six Flying Fields
A propeller company, transporta-
ton services, repair shop and fly
ing schools also are conferred here.
Wichita offers six landing fields:
the municipal airport, the Cali
fornia section" soon to be made the
citys landing field, Cessna field,
Swift field, and Stearman field.
A recent survey of the industry
shows that today 841 men and wom-

plane factories, as compared to only
forty-two at the same time last
year.
That is exclusive of the numbers
employed in other lines of the air
business.
