During the four years In which immigration quotas have been based upon the census of foreign born in 1890, immigrants from northern and western Europe have represented S9.9 per cent of the total number ad- mitted, as compared with 13.4 per cent in 1914. Immigrants from southern and eastern Europe have represented 1o.9 per cent of the total as against 73.4 per cent in the last pre-war year.
 But a more enlightening angle of this controversy is elicited from q consideration of the percentage of unused quotas of the various na- tionalities during the four years Of the quota year. The widely current ] belief that Europeans were scrambling to get to the United States is not borne out, scarcely a nation overseas having filled it's quotas. Great Britain and Northern Ireland. which gain a large quota increase under national origins. provided an average of 31,196 immi- grants for each of the four years of ! the quota law. whereas they were l privileged to send 34,007 to the , country. The unused quota repre- sented S.3 per cent. Germany. privileged to send 51.227. sent an average of 4S.61s, representing an unused quota of 5.l per cent. The ! Irish Free State had an unused quota of 22 per cent. Italy 7.s per cent. Poland 2.4 per cent. and so on. The only countries which practically broke even with their quotas-vir- , tually sending all that were permit ted to come-were Belgium. Austria and Rumania, but their quotas are less than 1000 each.
 Except for increases in the case of England and Northern Ireland, and the decrease for Germany, and the Irish Free State. the increases and decreases for the other nations are neglible. Both Italy and Poland en- joy slight increases, but the figures are small in comparison with immi- grafton figures in 1914. Italy in that year sending as3,73s persons 10 this country. Poland in that year, of course, did not exist Polish immi- grants being included in those credited from Russia. Austria and Germany
 The national origins plan at first made little appeal in the House of Representatives. where it was firs, brought forward by the late John Jacob Rogers, Republican, of Massa chusetts. when he offered it as an amendment in April. 1924. to the bill then pending. 1t was twice rejected without roll call. and when ap- proved based the quotas on the 1890 census. The final victory of the na- tionaI origins provision was due to the activity of Senator David A
 Reed of Pennsylvania. who offered it as an amendment to take effect after the House bill had been oper- ative three years. Two postpone ments of year each ensued. and re-

NATIONAL ORIGINS IMMIGRATION BASIS

On July 1 the national origins basis for immigration quotas will go into effect. Although there is only a difference of 11,000 between the present quota law and the national origins system, there is wide diff ference between the distribution al- lowed from the various foreign na- tionalities. The present law. admit ting per cent of the total number of persons living here on the basis of the census of 1890. will be switched to the first census of the republic in 17e0. at which time a census of na- tionalities was not included.
 President Hoover. opposing the national origins plan, is helpless to prevent it's application in view of the attitude of 2 majority in Congress. The law as passed and twice post poned, will automatically go into force on July l.
 The complete change in the quota restrictions. according to national origins, is as follows:

"YOU'D BE WILD ABOUT HER IF YOU ONLY KNEW HER"!!

 Alvin: 'Is she? Somehow I've never gotten along with her."
 Edith: Well. you ought to get to know her, because know you'd adore her if you really knew her. She's really an awfully sweet girl" Alvin: Well, I've heard other people say so. too! I've probably been mistaken about her. I'll take your advice and try to know her better"
 Edith: "Of course she's peculiar. sort of. I mean you mustn't mind the unconventional sort of things she says and does sometimes"
 Alvin: "I don't think l would" Edith: No, don't think you would. because you're broadminded and everything but l know heaps of people who abominate her because she says such awful things some- times and does the widest sort Of things, do you know what l mean ?" Alvin: Really? We'll I don't SUD- pose she really means any harm by it, does she?"
 Edith: "Oh. heavens no. my dear. Of course not. only it's just that she makes herself so darned conspicu- ous that people hate to be with her 1 because she embarrasses them to ,, death by these perfectly frightful things she's always doing and say l ing all the time"
 Alvin: II don't wonder" Edith: But I don't mean eny- thing against her. my dear. only l l just wanted to warn you not to be surprised by anything she does be- cause she really doesn't mean a thing by it, my dear. I mean it's | just her way and hope you'll get | to know her because she hasn't hardly any friends on account or being so peculiar and all, do you | know what l mcan?"

stopped and picked her up and

was crying and she told a. story OF
how q mans had taken her out into

and displays Of daring came as

splendid feat of navigation and
at what speed!
A Three Year Walk
We have crossed a desolate,
swampy wilderness, where / half
expected to see prehistoric ami
