res. hoover IN his first message to the American
Congress declared for the repeal Of the national ORR
gin immigration quota basis. Under this basis an
nual migration VIII be cut from the 10000 now
allowed TO about $4,000. Great Britain and Scot
land and Northern Ireland would be given the pre-
ponderance Of the immigration while Germany and
the Scandinavian countries would lose heavily.
A resolution calling for suspension of the national
origins basis was introduced by Sen. Nye Of North
Dakota. This resolution called FOR immediate con-
sideration FOR repeal OF the quota basis. BY a vote
OF 43 TO 81 the senate defeated the Nyc resolution.
consequently It WI Il left with the senate immieration
committee and the committee has voted to postpone
indefinitely rs consideration.
Party lines were swept aside. Reed OF Pennsylvania
led the opposition to the Hoover recommendation
Twenty-four southern democrats, the entire south

Washington Letter
~ HERBERT c. PLUaINIER

WASHINGTON June l9.-For more than II years
Rep. John Charles Linthicum Of Maryland has been
trying to persuade congress that THE Star Spangled
Banner should be declared the national anthem Of
this country.
he has had a bill to this effect before the house
almost continuously since 1918. Little success. how
ever. has been his. Invariably the bill has died in
committee or else has been crowded out in the rush
Of legislation.
But Mr.. Linthicum refuses to be discouraged. Each
session he drops his pet measure In the house hopper.
nc is confident that he will yet get a break.
The Maryland chapter Of tine National Society OF
United States Daughters Of 1912 first interested him
in the proposal. At the request OF that organization
&c introduced the measure for the first time in
March. 1918. War conditions and the accompanying
rush Of legislation, however, prevented his bill getting
very far.
He re-introduoed the bill in April, 1921. but il met
the sam. fate.

WAYS associated with tuberculosis is
bleeding from the lungs. No matter

"HemcptySis" is the term given 10
such expectoration az blood. Not

due TO a serious disturbance.
II may come from bleeding from
the gums or from "A cut place In
the tongue or inside of the cheek. A
crust Of bread or a rough tooth may
injure the delicate tissues and cause
hem0rrhage.
Following a severe attack OF
coughing there may be a rupture OF

If the blood comes from the mouth

tends TO stop the bleeding.
Unless you locate the seat OF trou-
