Two Emigrants to One Immigrant.
CNew York Herald Tribune0

Within easy memory immigrants were being ad- mitted to the United States at the rate of more than million a year The quota law came to the rescue and fully utilized it has turned the tide with impressive effect Immigration during the calendar year 1931 as compared with the previous year. decreased from 180,251 to 43,353, or 759 per cent This greatly reduced influx more than offset by the outflow The number of emgrant aliens leaving the United States for permanent residence in foreign lands increased from 52930 in 1880 to 8957o in 1931 about aliens departed for every immigrant admitted-an uneXampled record for the United States.
 In part the decline of immigration may be vol- untary, many aliens concluding that there is no chance to better themselves here in time of de- pression But the decisive check has been the policy announced by MT. Hoover September S. 1930 and steadily carred out by consular officers, of with holding vsas as the law prescrbes from applicants who might become public charges In the pursuance of that system the majority of immigrants admitted have been near relatives of American citizens and of aliens resident in the United States.
 Thus the problem of immigration depression factor is effeetaaly removed. Of bootegged nlnni- grants there is probably considerable number, but the work of deportation is going on more than 9,2O0 aliens were sent away in the six months from July to December 1881. An alien registration act would facilitate the riddance process On the whole in view of the net results, the immigration law, ably handled by the Administration, has proved it's worth abundantly

HOME IMPROVEMENTS Two-FoLD AID.

Home improvements in 32 cities throughout the country last year proved so effective stimulant to local trade and in reducing unemployment, the Presidents Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership has set up a national clearing house for information on reconditioning of the home and on community campaigns to that end. The Confer ence Committee on Remodelng, Reconditioning and Modernizng, under the chairmanshp of Frederick M Felker, Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. has been reorganized for this purpose It will furnish any information desired to any community desiring to launch similar activ- ties for their own benefit.
 The Committee is prepared to furnish informa- ton to help home make repairs wisely and to furnish plans for campaigns based upon the suc- cessful experience Of towns and cities in various parts of the country Tn several instances employ ment in certain lines of activity was increased as much as 80 per cent, and trade in all lines of busi- ness directly lifted to higher levels
 As MT. Faker recently pointed out home im- provement campaigns appear to offer to every com munity a constructive means of helping itself They supply work and create trade; they are business activities and not in any appeals for charity; they cost little; and they pay the people they in- spire to act The man who puts his home in repair gains trply; in physical comfort. in pride of pos session and in improved porperty value. The Com mittee estimates the annual waste from property depreciation and obsolescenee in this country at s3- 0o0OO0000
 Undoubtedly there are few if any towns or cities in the country that are not behind in the upkeep of their homes For more than two years coincident with the beginning of the present slump, owners of all sorts of property and particularly home owners have been deferring needed repairs. It is plain that the man out of job is in no position to spend any money on property he may own, but the job possessor who is also a home owner can make re- pairs and alterations thus giving job to his less fortunate fellow Now the best time to start this work Labor is ample and wages the lowest in years. Materials needed for the betterments have not been cheaper in almost two decades
 Juneau's home owners not invest more wisely for themselves or for the community than to take advantage of current conditions to make all needed and desirable improvements this year.

Connery of Massachusetts which was recently reported with recommendation for passage by the House Com mittee on Labor Ths Federal Government how ever will not be required to pay old age allowances directly Under MT. Connerys bill @ lump sum appropriation of s10OO00O0 would be made for the next fiscal year to be apportoned among the States and Territories which are paying allowances to citizens of the United States 65 or more years of age

Space-Saving Important

Since hlgn frequency or ultra shooa wave reception requires coils of few turns and condensers that take up little room, space-saving immediately becomes evident.
 This is highly important as it means short interconnecting wires a factor in eliminating stray effects that might tend to increase the capacity and inductance, and thus lower the sets overall efficiency.
 Careful shielding is absolutely esentiaI, and even with it's elabo- rate use some of the signal may be lost due to the fact that the tremendously high frequency, on the order of from 10000 to 60,O0O kilocycles compared with $50 to 150O for sound broadcasting, doesn't seem to stick to the electrical laws obayed by frequsncies of fewer digits.
 For instance two comparatively short wires, if run parallel for an inoh CT so, may give a condenser that will rob the signal of much Of it's punch.
 Tuning coils, with the turns spaced too close together, will pro duce the same effect and may raise the wavelength range above the point desired. The remedy, of course is wide spacing of turns, even up to a qearter of an inch.

Mickey Mouse.

(New York World-Telegram)
 Mickey Mouse has been banned in a Scandinav ian country as mentally unwholesome, and is diagnosed in Germany victim of paranoiacal dementia.
 That would happen Poor Mickey is being "psyched" by the scientific gentlemen whose pre- occupation in life is to delve into any mental quirk that seems to them to be outside the range of sanity as catalogued in their card-index. They are the norm" boys and they bothered by Mickey whose antics lie beyond their comprehen- sion.
 That the gay, mad, little mouse belongs to that fantastic land of which Alice and Bottom and all of the pixies and elves of the Irish fairy tales denizens is nothing to them Nor can they compre- bend that the world of make-believe is real one and that into it creep at times the children of all ages, to whom the nagging cares of work-a-day existence compel some escape
 Mickey mad? His sanity is proven every day to thousands of believers His antics those of the completely free individual the defer of time and gravitation and pain and all of the other laws by which conformists are punished.
 It will be sad time for sad world when the enancipated Mickey is looked upon something pathological. Despite what dealers in 'complexes" and "inhbitions" say. he seems the symbol of freedom, and as such we wish him long and useful life

Choke Coil IsoIated

It is only in the tuning section that particular pains should be taken, as the audio amplifier IS the same for this type of receiver as it is for any other. There is one exception, and that is that the choke coil designed to keep radio frequency current out of the audio circuit must be isolated from the high frequency section.
 This can be accomplished in re- sistance coupled audio by placing the choke between the coupling condenser and the plate resistor of the detector tube. The choke is bypassed by a divided condenser whose middle section is grounded

MeZZanine
The setting for untold romances,
A spacious place and most
discreet,
Brief tete-a-tetes between blithe
dances,
Much whispered nonSe, priced
and sweet.
The haven for unhappy lovers
To whom the fates have been
unkind;
In these dim spaces safety
hovers
And passers-by are wisely
blind.
The lights are low and softly
shaded,
Intriguing and becoming, too,
For those with charms a little
faded,
But hearts as fresh as morn
ing dew.
What tales of every deep emo
ton
These walls might tell, if they
could speak;
Of jealousy, of hate, devotion,
OF love too strong, of faith
too weak!
A setting for untold romanceS:
A kiss, a promise or a tear,
A last farewell, a flirt's false
glanceS;
All these and more each day

In all humanity, and particularly among wo-

Put up a fight for facial
rights as soon as there is evil
dence that a second chin is de-
veloping. If it once establishes
itself, it is not easily dispoS-
seSed of its lodgings. Every
night anoint with heavy
cream. Pick up the flesh in
tiny folds and roll between the
fingers; this form of manipula-
ton dissolves fat cells. More
is to be done. When adipose
cells are crushed, tissues relax,
so it is essential to use an
astringent. Dip a piece of gauze
in witch hazel, place upon the
twin chins, hold in place with
a chin strap which should be
worn all night. Next morning
battle the face with ice cold
water, dry with gentle pats.

The first thing a patient
with tuberculosis ought to know
is that the disease can be
cured.
Instead of being discouraged
or feeling that he is under sem
tence of death. the actual dag
nosiS of the disease should be
signal for courage and hope.
The fact that the diagnosis
has been made, that the dis
ease has been recognized,
means only that all the puzzl-
ing symptoms which had been
hampering his activities and
thwarting his best efforts are
things of the past. 1t means
that the greatest of all dangers
to the tuberculosis patient-the
danger of drifting along-iS
over, and that the beginning
of improvement is at hand.
The second thing the person
with tuberculosis should know
is that the most important
element in treatment is rest.
Not climate, not any drug or
tonic, but complete rest.
Natures method of healing
tuberculosis is the process
called fibroSis. Which means
the filling in of the diseased
spots with fibrous tissue or
scar tissue. And this can be
done only when the diseased
spot is at rest. If the con-
nective tissue fibreS begin to
be laid down and then every
little while are broken up by

a sudden effort or exertion,
the healing process will be in
definitely delayed.
tuberculosis can, therefore.
be treated at home. 1t is prob
ably better to be in a sani-
tarium in order that the pa
tient learn the technique, but
every essential element of treat
ment can be carried out at
home.
If the patient is careful about
the disposal of Sputum and the
observation of ordinary cleanli-
ness about personal articles,
such as forks, spoons, plates,
clothing, etc., there is no dan
ger to other members of the
household from having him in
the house.
How long should treatment be
kept up? In all cases six
months. In most cases a year.
In some cases two years.
How much does sanitarium
treatment cost?
The cost of treatment in pri-
vate sanataria ranger from $25
to $50 a week. To get proper
conditions at a health resort
will demand $75 to $125 q
month. There are a few semi
charitable Sanataria where the
rates are from ST to SIS week.
In city, county or State hospi-
tails the rate is usually from 81
to SIS a week, but, in almost.
all, patients who cannot afford

lie expense.

A distinctive thing about S. SIS. is that it is
made from fresh roots, barks and herbs

by the system. It will not interfere with any
other treatment you may be taking. Its eff

its use for more than 100 years.
Try s.S.S. yourseE-give it to your children!
Get it from any drug store. In two sizes:
