l2 900 900 unemployed has been provided with work Why should we permit Thousands upon thousands tt enter the United States annually for the purpose o
 usurping jobs held by American citizens when we are now burdened with 12G00Ooo unemployed? No other country in the world will permit an alien to take the ob of one of it's citizens there abso- uely no reason why should look after the
 interests of and provide for foreigners and refugees before providing for it's American citizens and unfortunates who are out of employment.
 More isms' are to be found in this country than
 n any other section The battle-ground between the Nazis and Fascists, the one hand, and the Com munists on the other. is to be found right here in democratic America Those proponents of nazi-isnl, gascism and communism have aroused much inter- est and feeling in the United States that large groups ,f Americans are taking sides. and in doing they are being divided among themselves and thus real Americanism is being imperiled These isms' have been brought shores by undesirabes from many corners of the globe The time has arrived when should concentrate thoughts first upon the citi zens of America Our slogan should be- Our citi- zens, our country first
 After all the question is shall we continue to harbor alien criminals immigrants Illegally entered and also keep gates open to unlimited unsolicited numbers while roll of unemployed reaches 12O00 GOO? Shall strengthen and enforce immigration laws or shall allow these laws to gather the dust of disrespect? Shall we feed families Ameri- can families foreign neighbors first?
 What is American citizenship worth unless is gives first rights to Americans to fill the jobs with Amer can industry and business? We cannot give away jobs to foreigners and at the same time provide jobs for unemployed. We haven't jobs enough for both. Even further importation of foreign labor is per mitted from this time will still be unable to give employment to every workman now here who will be here for the next quarter of century No other nation permits citizens of the United States of any other country to enter their country and take jobs and enjoy relief belonging to their nationals regard less of what the excuse for migrating might be.
 There are more -ctizens, aliens, employed in one Midwestern American city in one American in- dustry than the total number of Americans employed in all the other countries of the world. Refugees are coming to shores by the shipload and being rushed into employment with little delay possible They coming under quotas They coming under the permits of temporary visits the number of which has legal limits. These temporary permits extended time after time for the benefit of aliens who hold American jobs"
 All Americans agreed with Senator Reynolds that this practice is wrong All Americans should support legislation which would correct the situation

Straining Hospitality
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

New Yorks telephone company gives emphatic denial to a yarn which had attained wide currency in Gotham and penetrated some of the hinterlands The report that the forthcoming telephone directory would be much smaller than usual because many Sub scrbers had asked that their be not listed They supposed to be stunning visits from Cousin Susie of Schenectady Aunt Mamie of Massillon during the approaching Worlds Fair season
 But it isn't so, say the telephone people, who cer- tanly ought to know. The next directory will be as plump usual probably bit more so because the telephone business is enjoying healthy recovery.
 Thus is scotched a base canard refectng upon New Yorks hospitality It is reassring to learn there is outward sign that many New Workers plotting to shirk their duty perfect hosts, when it hurts.
 Clevelanders appreciate the position of the Gothamites We had right smart fair of own in the front yard two summers hand running and it must be admitted that at times the sweet strands of hosptality's web drawn bit tight particularly when second cousin, twice removed old and happily forgotten fraternity brother barged in with numerous progeny and broad hint that lodging food andIor drink and personal escort to the Expo were expected.
 But by and large Cleveland did its duty and one has no coubt that New York will do the same In some respects the average Gothame's problem is more serious, New York is compactly housed Except in very limited circles the spare bed does not exist or had been compressed into living room davenport This is fact to be remembered by those pondering the practicabiy of revving long neglected friendships with New Workers to the financial strain of a visit to the fair

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS

Chaotic conditions existing throughout the world,
 in particular the fact that the world is armng as
 never before make it necessary for America to con-
 sider program for adequate national defense.
 Senator Robert R. Reynolds, of North Carolina,
 has introduced Congress bill dealing with the n problem of national defense and considering also the z / problem of aliens within ou boundaries
 G Senator Reynolds speaks for his bill, in recent
 Congressional Record:
 Tn considering the subject of national defense we
 must of necessity consider the question Of undeslr-
 able aliens We doubt will appropriate millions . upon millions of dollars for the purpose Of building . LID our Army and Navy and forces to defend our ,ood selves from without Army observers locate e the position attacking enemy; but what about the enemies who will be attacking from within? af'o "There several million aliens in the United States foreigners who here illegally and
 have no legal right to remain here How many of
 these aliens are do not know, because have " made check-up of them.
 "In should become engaged in defensive ,, war would have within midst several million
 potential and spies in the form of these mi e lions of aliens The presence of these during .s would indeed be equally dangerous and de- sb structve if not more than attacks by the enemy
 from without, because the enemy from without could
 be observed by aviators, while these alien enemies within could not be located.
 50 in order that may ascertain the number, -- whereabouts of the several million aliens in the United States have introduced in Congress bill which would bring about the mandatory registration
 and fngerprintng of every alien here, Only by this 2eanS definitely ascertain the number of aliens ' in country, and only by that ascer
 tain their respective locations all of which necessary
 for the safety of the American people and particularly ~ in relation national defense subject in which the m American people thoroughly interested at the nisr present time.
 "A paramount issue in the United States today is jobs There today in the United States 12000000 4'ia unemployed unfortunately and who are ' walking the streets in search of employment These unemployed Americans should be provided jobs before
 any foreigners, refugees from any country, addi-
 tional aliens permitted the United States Immigration is a foreign invasion. Those coming t this country from foreign shores immediately seek employment and it welknown fact that many aAmericans thrown of their jobs and positions
 to make for refugees and others from foreign

A recent census of the American
antelope, or "pronghorn," shows
these animals are decidedly on the
increase. A survey made during
the years from 1922 to 1924 showed
there were only about 26,60O ante
lopes left of the millions which once
roamed the range. The last CEN
sus shows there are now 131 ,555
in the country.
In other words there are more
than five times as many on the
range as there were is years ago.
There is no animal on this con-
tinent more typically American
than the "pronghorn." He is so
distinct from all other antelopes
that he is classified as species,
genus and family all by himself,
says the American Wildlife Insti-
tute.
Antelopes are very vain about
their speed and cannot resist an
opportunity to match their prowess
with anything that runs. They have
long been the swiftest animals on
the range. Any fast moving object
is a challenge and the antelopes
dash along in parallel course until
they are well in the lead, and then
as if to make a convincing display
of their prowess, they dash across
the front Of their competitors line
of travel and soon disappear over
the horizon.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1939-06-22

In addition to their gracefully
curved prong horns, the American
antelope have another characteris-
tic feature. When alarmed, the
skin muscles on the animals rump
throw the long white hairs out into
two brightly conspicuous rosettes.
When the "pronghorn" takes to
flight, these rosettes are visible long
after the rest of the animal has
merged into the protective colora-
ton of the landscape and can be
seen as brilliant white spots dane
ing over the horizon.
When the "Iron Horse" came to
his range the antelope met more
than his match in speed for the first
time. The locomotive was more
than his nemesis in speed for it was
the symbol of a mechanical adj
vance which, by the end of the
Nineteenth century, had threatened
the antelope with complete exter-
mination. The return Of these
splendid animals is a tribute to the
growing and intelligent interest of
our people in wildlife.

BETSY was all agog to have a
- bed with no foot piece and a
padded head to match her spread.
Ingenuity would have to substitute
for money, and she was seriously
considering this and that when the
plumber was called to fix a leaky
pipe.
AS tiny tot Betsy always said,
'Let me WATCH" when workmen
were coming and at 16 she hadn't
grown up much. The plumber took
a fine saw out of his tool bag and
sawed pipe in two just as if it
were wood. Right then something
clicked for Betsy. That old iron
bed in the attic! It could be cut
down. 1t was cut down, as shown
in the sketch.
The top of this bed is padded
with cotton basted to muslin.
Betsy used an old comforter for
padding. Her mind seems to jump
with the greatest of ease from wa
ter pipes to iron beds and from
padding to old comforters.
