We came home happy and bright

seemingly negligible. I had forgotten
everything in this strange fascina-

Bob kept urging me to go. Several

so long that my nerves were frayed.
In q swift glance characteristic Of
him, Bob must have read my mind.
His strong arm gently encircled my
waist and drew me close to him and
before could demonstrate he was
kissing me passionately.
I was q whirl of conflicting emo
tons. My body tingled and chilled
alternately. My loyalty to Jack, our
home, our marriage forced me to at
tempt to get away from Bob's en-
brace but my infatuation for this
handsome brown man weakened my
efforts.
"Oh, Bob" I cried, please don't let
us spoil our friendship. Save me, Bob
from myself for Jacks sake. Oh, we
mustn't"
He held me closer and I felt his
hot breath on my cheek. A thought
that 1t was so coy in his strong arms
caused my face to blush with shame
and guilt. I looked up TO find his
eyes gazing mo mine.

frequently inviting me to go out with

The Fourth of July, Jack had to

U. S IMMIGRATION
SELECTION URGED
Representative Ellis Declares Ma.
tional Sterilization Era De-
mands New Policy.

Addressing the annual meeting of
the Retired Enlisted Mems Associa-
ton of Washington last night in
Pythian Temple. 1912 Ninth street,
Representative Ellis, Republican, of
Missouri declared that the promotion
Of the general welfare of the United
States, as implied in the preamble of
the Constitution, is now contingent
upon selective immigration methods.
Describing the periodic progress of
the United States under unrestrictive
immigration methods, whose continu-
ance. he contends, would menace the
Nation with social and economic
deterioration, Representative Ellis divid-
ed the countrys history into three
stages.
From Washington to Lincoln. he de-
clared, unrestricted immigration was
necessary to pioneer progress. From
Lincoln to Roosevelt-the formative
period of economic stability-the COM
plexity of national problems demanded
various racial types, he pointed out.
But from Roosevelt to Hoover-an era
of gradual national sterilization the
racial tonic of unrestrictive immigra-
ton became too drastic, since in every
field the country needed unification and
not augmentation. he said.
There was musical program, fea-
tured by special detail from the
Marine Band. and the evening pro-
gram was concluded by a dinner and
dancing.
