REPAIRING
AT FORT

ROMA, April 25.-Fort Ringgold,
founded in 1848, on lands that Gen.
eral lack Taylor used as a base for
supplies for his army on it's inva-
sion of Mexico, where Lee was sta
toned. where Jeff Davis command
ed, where Grant bent under the
heavy bars Of a second lieutenacy,
where the Confederate General
Buell. commanded during the Civil
war, is undergoing a transforma-
ton of color, every building being
painted a canary with red roofs. In
1903 Ringgold together with Brown
and other frontier posts was aban-
doned and given over to the de-
partment of the interior, but when
the border trouble became SO bad
in 1912 to IT, both Fort Ringgold
and Brown were re-eStablished and
have continued to be garrisoned.
Ringgold, said to be one of the
prettiest posts on the border, has not
been given a chance to live up to its
reputation because of short appro-
priations. Now Major Taylor, in
command, has been given funds for
Identification purposes and he is
making good by giving the buildings
Of the post a bright and uniform
color throughout.

K. c. TO TALK
HERE FRIDAY

David Goldstein of Boston is to
deliver a lecture before the Browns
vile council of the knights of CO.
lumbus on Friday evening in the
district courtroom at the county
courthouse here. Goldstein's sub
ject will be What Is Wrong With
the Family?"
The free lecture here is part Of the
Knights of Columbus nationwide
campaign against what they believe
propaganda that constitutes a me-
mace to Christian ideals Of family
lift. Goldstein, nationally known
authority on sociological questions,
will deal with the Christian, the
evolutionary, the socialist and the
modernistic conception Of the origin,
the moral character and the respon-
sibility of the family and its relation
to the state.
He viii review the assaults upon
the family in Russia, Mexico, the
United States and Canada, treating
especially Of the disruptive work OF
writer's and lecturers. Especial in
terest is being taken in his attacks
on the views Of Judge Ben Lindsey
Of Colorado and Bertrand Russell
of England.
Goldstein's talks have been highly
lauded by the press. Following is
taken from the Toronto Globe: In
the development Of his theme
What Is Wrong With the Family
he harried every stronghold Of the
radicals on this continent. His
barbed satire was a match for that
of the Meckens and NathanS Of the
American Mercury tradition; the
logic of Margaret Sangers and other
advocates of birth control he ably
refuted.
In a word Mr. GoldStein

~tellicensia on its own Detard,"

BANKER DROPS
OUT OF SIGHT,;
BATTLES COPS
Relatives Believe Jersey
Man, Missing Five Days,
Is Kidnapped.

EAST ORANGE, N. J., July l.
The disappearance of Willard H
Elliott, prosperous banker, developed
today into one of the most batting
cases on police records here.
Somewhere between here and Pas
sale, Elliott, driving his automobile,
disappeared last Wednesday.
None of his relatives, friends or
business associates has been able to
explain why he should have left
home voluntarily, and today the be-
lief became stronger that he had
been kidnapped.
At the Hobart Trust Company,
Passaic, where Elliott was vice
president and treasurer, his accounts
were found to be in excellent con-
dition. His home life was said to
have been happy and he had no
known enemies.
THE further we go into this, the
more mysterious it becomes" said
William H. O'Neill, chief of police.
Elliott's disappearance came at
the time that the state bank exam
liners were making their regular ex-
animation of the books of the Ho-
bart Trust Company. but the mys-
terry became greater when the bank
finances we're found to be in splen-
did shape
On Wednesday, Elliott drove his
daughter, Ruth. to school, and then
turned the car toward Passaic, pre-
sumably to go to the bank. Several
friends reported seeing him pass
and said he waved gayly at them.
Frank c. Campbell, an official of
the bank, denied Elliott resigned. He
said a successor had been appointed
Immediately because Elliott had
signed the checks and the bank
would be unable to do business if
some one did not take over the
missing mans duties.

RACIAL ORIGINS
IMMIGRANT ACT
GOES IN EFFECT
New Law Increases British,
Cuts Down German
Quotas.
BY LYLE G. WILSON,
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July l. - The
national origins basis for America s
selective immigration quota system
became effective today over the pro-
test of President Herbert Hoover,
who opposed the plan as impracti-
cable.
The outstanding changes effected
by the new system of allocating
quotas are to reduce potential Ger
man immigration by half and to in
crease British and northern Irish
immigration by about the same
margin.
immigration from Scandinavia
will be reduced about one-third by
the new program.
Congress provided for the national
origins quota system in the restric-
tive immigration bill of 1924.
The new system is designed to
proportion immigration in direct
ratio with the present racial origin
Of the American people. Canadian
and Mexican immigration will con-
tinue unchanged by the national
origins program.
Under the new conditions, annual
immigration from the Irish Free
State will be 1882, instead of
%, SGT; Sweden, 1914, instead of
1851; Norway, 2.377 instead of
6,453: Denmark, 1,181, instead of
2,789; Poland. 6,524, instead of 1892;
Belgium. 1904, instead of 512. and
Italy, 1902, instead of 3,845.
