There is no necessity for putting Mexico on the
quota basis at this time, in the opinion OF Senator
David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, who was leader OF
the fight in the senate for the national origins law ana
who has made a study Of the immigration problem IN
the United States.
Senator Reed last week issued a warning agalhS'
anr1vinr the quota law to Mexican Immigration say
to- that srch action might result in serious 1nterna-
+ional combinations and in diplomatic and legislative
difficulties.
rrote to CAPTAIN John E. Trevor Of New York chalr-
man of the American Coalition, made up OF aoout
. hundred patriotic organizations which were ACTIVE
in preventing the repeal Of the national origins law
Some Of these groups have been studying Mexican
immigration to determine whether additional resVrlc-
+,onr : needed to keep large numbers Of Mexicans
from crossing the border to find work in this country
IF these organizations, or their representatives VIII
oon,o - this border country to make their study they
will come to the same conclusion reached by Senator
Reed.
poed IN his letter praises what he terms the "singu-
,sr,v successful" diplomacy Of President Hoover and
Ambassador Morrow in dealing with Latin America
and declares that administrative remedies nave re-
suited in cutting down Mexican immigration by %
per cent.
Residents along the border know this is true, and
although they do not like it, they are agreed II IS
better than the repulsive quota law.
Senator Reed wrote:
"rhere are two things to do right now:
"Ffrst. help the Department of Labor in every way
q strengthen the border patrol and, second keep the
state Department alive to the necessity OF carefully
scrutinizing applications for visas.
"our officials in Mexico and on the ooroer nave
been given to understand that the provisions OF Ia"
-S,ot,ng r. contract labor, health, literacy and the
ocoromic status of the Mexicans entering the United
states from Mexico must be enforced. The immediate
effect of recent instructions has been to reduce the
Number Of visas granted to IS per cent. "A strict IN
ternretation and application of the law should operate
~ hold down the movement Of Mexicans into THIS
country in the future.
"Mv own conversations with the officials chiefly
concerned with this problem lead me to the very
definite conclusion that to single out Mexico Tor re-
~strictive measures might have serious international
imulications and lead to diplomatic, as well as legis-
Iative, difficulties"

Star Lore
The Last Geocentric Astronomer

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter.
Tycho Brahe, Danish astronomer,
who came between Copernicus and
Kepler, found himself unable to ac-
cept the Copernican. or heliocen-
trio, theory. He said that If the
earth revolved in an eliptical orbit
around the sun, each star should
show a like annual orbit equal to
the earth's orbit as seen from that
star. In other words, the stars
should show an annual parallax.
Brahe took up the Investigation Of
the matter at his observatory, but
his instruments, not sufficiently re-
fined, detected no stellar parallaX.
So he rejected the theory which he
would have liked to accept, and re-
manned a supporter of the Ptole-
maic ~(geocentric) theory.

Fried brought to millions of news paper readers the first account of the Florida" rsecue. Once more he told the story fully, accurately and interestingly in his own force- ful and descriptive language. True to his code of the sea. he gave full credit to the gallant officer and sailors who manned the rescuing lifeboat and asked that they re- ceive recognition from the United States government. .l.g.,..
 This mild-mannered mariner who twice has been the central figure in cheating the sea of human tolls does not talk about himself. He would prefer to avoid the acclaim which an admiring world showers upon him. The sea is his life and helpfulness to the distressed it's first law and command. as

France, he selected Dr. Hills to go
 with him as divisional chaplain, a commission that Dr. Hills greatly
 desired to accept. The clergyman delivered many sermons and ad- dresses in which he scathingly de- nounced the Germans for their al- legged atrocities and brutality. In order to get first-hand information he went to France in September, 1917, and made a trip over the ground that the German armies had evacuated. Upon his return to the United States he preached series of sermons on German atrocities, the, marks of many of which he had seen. He said the former kaiser. and not the rest of the world, had caused the word Hun to be applied to the Germans. Dr., Hills later published the ser

BARLEY Of London

To the 500 Men who go to the
Bespoke Bootmakers of London
to Supply their Shoe Wardrobe
If you personally visited all the custom
Bootmakers of London, who make Shoes
for the most famous and fashionable men of
England, sooner or later you would find
yourself in little Shop located at 4o3
Oxford Street, London w.
BARLEY and Sons have been making shoes
for more than 100 years in this same spot,
and hold Royal Warrants of Appointment
to His Majesty the King and His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales. {.
Ifyou asked him what the best dressed men
in London will wear for Easter, he would
probably describe the Shoe as Box Calf
Oxonian, with Punched and Notched" Toe
Cap and "Middling Substance" Oak Bark
Tan Sole.
If you were so bold as to inquire when you
could have them, and the Price, he would
probably tell you to call around in about a
month, and the Price would be three pounds,
four shillings, twopence.
Mr.. Barley might further suggest that for
the more ceremonial occasions, the most
fastidious dressers wear Linen Spat, and
he might refer you to Hawes and Curtis,
haber-dasher to the Prince of Wales.
Now if you insist on being both Bespoke
and Be-Spat-ted with the Genuine Hand
Made English Models, we would be glad
to forward your order to Barley and Sons
for the Shoes, and Allen and Bridge for the
Spats-And we will charge you just what
they charged us-plus the postage and duty.

London is the recognized Source of Mems
Styles-from top to bottom, from hat to
shoes. But Mr.. Average American Citizen
hasn't the time to stroll up Piccadilly, walk
through Old Bond Street and wander down
Oxford to pick out his Easter Wardrobe.
So we sent member of our Style Committee
to shop for you in London. We actually
bought 40 pairs of the Box Calf Oxonian,
described by Barley, and we paid three
pounds, four shillings, twopence ($l5.65)
for each pair so that we could show you in
7S Regal Stores, one Original BARLEY Model
and the Regal Reproduction for $3.50.
The Lasts are identical in measurement and
in appearance, and the Design is the same.
When BARLEY mentions BOX Calf Upper

Black Calf Oxford with Tan Bark Medium
Weight Sole, which is just what we are
using in the Regal Reproduction.
But BARLEY is using practically the same
methods today as he did when he was
making shoes for Queen Victoria-only
four men handle the shoe from the time it
is cut until it is finished.
