.AM JACQUELINEE \ kk. ON HER DIVINE E
by RICHARD STARR

SYN0PSIS:- Possession of the necklace stolen by Mrs. Porter Mason disturbs Jacqueline and in her ignorance she contem- plates trouble with the police. On her guard she finds MT. Arthur Carew searching her hotel suite for the necklace. He takes her out to dinner and pro poses on the way home but Jacqueline, with thoughts only for Teddy MOntrose, rejects him. Teddy visits her and she tells her of her fears. They find the necklace has disappeared from its hiding place. Detective McAllister finally calls and tells Jacqueline of her movements and personal history but does not mention the necklace. The police didn't want her after all. That is relief but Jacqueline is worried by Teddy's silence.

pecially built for the Prom, passed the over two hundred persons who attended the event. First greeting the eyes upon entering the large dance saloon was the orchestra pit built in the center of the floor like a light house and manned by musicians dressed in officers cos- tunes. Sailors costumes were worn by the girls serving the punch.
 Overhead along the outside of the balcony was row of port holes on each side and streamers hanging down from the balcony separated the dance saloon and decks. Two search lights threw colored lights over the dancers.
 Words of praise were freely ex- pressed over the success of the dance which was a program affair.

the underground of centuries and max

MEXICAN QUOTA BASIS URGED
BY REPRESENTATIVE

Washington, D. CA quota basis
for Mexican immigration was urged
by Representative Thomas j. jenkins,
OF Ohio, member of the House Com
mittee on Immigration, IN recent adj
dress over the radio. He said, THAT
to restrict immigration from Europe
by way of the front door and to per-
nit an unlimited procession to enter
by the back door is inconsistent and
unwise."
Representative jenkins last year
made q survey of the Mexican border
towns He reported that "the supply
of Mexican labor already here, if
handled properly, greatly exceeds the
demand"
1.-The alien minded citizen, pessimists
and cheap labor advocates are now
playing important parts in opposition
to the only real immigration question
now confronting the present Congress
the restriction of immigration from
the countries of North and South
America"
He scored the Cheap labor" group,
noting that Mexican labor will submit
to working conditions which American
labor has outstripped long ago" He
added:
why should the Government spend
millions to bring under cultivation
lands workable only by MeXicans at
cheap prices when we have millions OF
farmers in all the states of the Union
who must raise vegetables in COMPETE
ton with them and who get no Gov
eminent assistance and who employ
the good dependable white man or the
faithful negro. The farmers of the
Southwest must learn what all other
employers of labor have learned-that
cheap labor is not always the best
labor"

Editorial

In one of our exchanges of last
week appeared an excellent editorial
on the subject of II Heard that con-
tanned much food for thought. The
editorial discussed conditions existing
in small city that do not all apply
to our local rural community, but the
main ideas hold true anywhere.
The first thought expressed was that
anyone can spread almost any report
with the words, II heard" 1t frees
us from responsibility, but if someone
gets excited we can Immediately for
get where we heard it.
The characteristic thing about these
II heard rumors is that in nine cases
out of ten they are detrimental to the
prosperity of the community or the
individuals making up the community.
Ii we only exercised the same speed in
telling of prosperity that we do Of adj
yersity 1t would have a constructive
effect and help everyone concerned
so much more than by repeating the
tale of woe With propagandists wall
ing about hard times it is small
wonder that the majority of us have
visions Of starving to death before
another spring, despite the fact that
more money than usual has come to
the Islanders from their crops this
season Taking lis as a whole we are
an unusually well-fed looking lot, we
dress about as wei as the average,
the majority of us pay our debts reas-
onably promptly, the business OF our
local bank shows an increase each
quarter, it has been some time since
an Island business has gone into
bankruptcy. there are improvements
going on all of the time. so surely
there are heartening things to repeat
that II heard.
With the daily account of human
beings crimes, follies and Weaknesses
that the newspaper provides each day
it is no wonder that we gcs to won
dering if mankind isn't, after all, 9
good deal farther down the scale thar
we like to suppose, but not only in the
newspapers, but in actual experience
we run across things which contra.
dict all this.
We read of sacrifice for others
faithfulness to duty, daily evidence o.
human kindness and concern for the
frailties of the weaker ones. Righ
here in our own community we criti'
else each other, gossip a little mort
than we should wonder what it's al
about, and what we are all coming
to, but taking the bitter with tn,
