Mrs. Kearney didn't think it was
much" She advised throwing a
little water on it-no need for call
ing the fire department.
Young Turner threw a coupe
of glasses of water but mo good, =
SO breaking into the wall with an
axe, then, Turner said it went
'whoof,' and he called the fire
laddies.
Fire Chief v. w. Mulvihill said
it was all caused by a defective Oil
burner. The Kearneys have a grav-
ity feed kitchen range.

STRAND

Shirley Temples first technicolor production "The Little Princess" ar. rived at Warner Bros. Strand the ater and was enthusiastically greet ed by capacity attendance at all performances. The production is based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's great classic and will highlight the current program at the Strand until the final performances on Saturday evening.
 The dimpled star reveals all her charm and radiance in what is easi- ly her finest film by far and also one of the outstanding hits of the season.

(Written Tor the Unlted PreSS) Worlds Fair Feet may be a new ailment this summer, despite ef- forts being made to prevent a re- currence of the epidemic of blisters which marred the trip of many visitors to similar past fairs. The latest addition to the fairs list of comfort-insuring facilities is a corps of pediatristS, who will have headquarters in the six First Aid stations.
 But by needing few simple dos and don'ts, visitors to the New York Worlds Fair and the Golden Gate Exposition should have lite need of such services.
 Be sure your feet are in good condition. Corns, callouses, in- grown nails or weak arches should be cared for by a chiropdist or lpediatrist who also will give advice about shoes.

 Don't expect comfort in pointed toe shoes. Don't wear shoes that are even slightly tight, as feet nat urally expand during hot weather. When you start out, take along an extra pair of shoes and stock ings. Don them at noon. On retir- ing at night, bathe your feet in cold water, then in hot-aletrnating sev- eral times.

AONOO4y, dllO uOCD not seem likely to improve soon in any fundamental way. We have some 10000,00O unemployed who seem superfluous in our economic Set-up.
 This country has been the asy- lum for refugees from the oppres- sions, prosecutions. and stagnation of Europe since the early 17th cen- tury. The Pilgrims, the Puri- tans. the Quakers, the Huguenots, the Scotch-Irish, the Irish, the Ger mans, the Italians, the Jews, the Moravians, the Slavs of old Austria Hungary and Czarist Russia, the Armenians, Syrians and Greeks of Turkish Asia Minor-all came over seeking, and most of them finding, asylum, jobs, end more freedom than was enjoyed by peoples any, where else.
 QUOTAS
 NOT FILLED
 Between 1920 and the present, the total number of immigrants enter ing the United States is slightly over 38,000,000. Just before the World War they poured in at an annual rate of about 100000.
 In 1921 the United States dras- tically changed its immigrat ton pol icy. Until then, any person in good physical and mental health and of good moral character could enter. The first postwar slump with its unemployment, and upsurge of radicalism, and serious capital-la- bor troubles led to restriction. The 1921 law, passed as temporary, be- came permanent in 1924, and has been amended since, the last time in 1929.
 It is called the Quota Law because 1t assigns to most foreign countries quota of immigrants equal to three per cent of the num- Der of foreign-born persons of that nationality resident in the United States in 1910.
 There may now be admitted year. ly 153,774 alien immigrants. The quota for Germany, plus that of the absorbed countries of Austria and Czechoslovakia, would be 3O,- PA.
 Since 1880; however, the number of immigrants has never approached the number allowed. In fact, in most of these years, more immi- grant aliens left, either by deporta- ton or voluntarily, than arrived. In

 If feet or legs tire, try getting the weight of your body on the outer edge of your feet by turning the toes inward as you walk. Lace or strap your shoes comfortably tight. Wear stocking inside out to keep seams from irritating the soles of your feet.
 Whenever possible, while sitting down, put your feet on bench as high as possible. This will allow the blood to circulate in such a manner as to relieve muscle fa- tigue.

 Further, the number is decreas- ing by death, because of the A. 100000 aliens now in this country, more than half are over 50 years old.
 The total allowance for the quota countries during those seven years was nearly 100000. Only 140,000 quota immigrants actually came in, or about II per cent of the quota. The Standardization quota was scarcely touched.
 But the German quota for the year ending June 30, 1889, will be filled 100 per cent. Perhaps 95 per cent of these will be refugees; about two-fifths of them Catholics, Protes- tants, Austrian monarchists, and assorted anti-Nazis, and about three-fifths Jews.

 What sort of people are they? All sorts, of course. Perhaps 150,- 900 of them are children. The adults include doctors, lawyers, sci- entists of all kinds, musicians, art ists, ministers, rabbis, professors, all manner of dispossesed manufactur- CTS, traders, merchants, farmers and shopkeepers, nurses, ex-government officials, engineers, technicians, skilled workers, clerks, notaries- some excellent, some good, some bad, some indifferent. And all hu- man beings.
 Congressional action is necessary to permit entry of more than the 30,000 now provided by law, and dis cussion of such proposals is now ap- preaching in congress. If it were decided to increase the present all lotment by 100000, it would increase the total population only 0.03 per cent; it would increase unemploy- ment only l per cent even if all were unemployed, it would increase the Jewish population by only 2 per cent even if all were Jews.
 This country is unlikely to take all or even majority of the refu- gees. Therefore there must be selec- tion, and preference should prob ably be given to those who possess special skills, together with chil- dren and youdg people.
 On the other hand, we can not overemphasize the importance of continuing this country's tradition as an asylum. If it is given up. something deeply important and precious will be lost in America.
