HAS NEW PROBLEM Bureau of Immigration : Finds Aliens Are Entering Country By Back Door BY WAY OF MEXICO Secretary Davis Informed That Literature is Circulated in Europe. Washington, Oct. 25. —The Bureau of Immigration of the Labor Department, struggling with the requirements of the present immigration law, because of the quota limitations, has a new problem. Thousands of those being turned away from this country are going to Canada and to Mexico in an attempt to come in by the back door, inspection service and available guards at border points are limited in number. They have always had their hands full. There are thousands of miles that are unprotected, and Caucasians slipping across the border are hard to detect. This is particularly true when they are Europtean nationals who learned the English language before essjiying an entry into this country. The problem so far as Canada is concerned lias been largely < ared for by recent orders in council of the I Dominion government just conimunI icated to the Ijibor Department. : These orders provide that no adult can enter Canada with less than SSOO cash in pocket, and that every person over ten and under 21 must have $250. Heads of families must have the cash for every member of the

family brought in. Mexico is, however, a real and serious worry to the labor department. A high official stated today that at thousands of places where one can practically step across the Rio Grande there is real danger of an extended ilicit traffic in aliens. There are, reports to the labor department show, persons on either side of the bolder who watch the policing force and who can domicile a few persons at a time without fear of detection. They are turning this to a profit, in violation of the law. Secretary Davis and other officials have under consideration methods to meet the situation. It is known that word is going back to many European countries that the way into the United states lies through Mexico, and literature advising this method of approach has been apprehended by officials.

“AMERICAN” OPENED ALL DOORS IN RUSSIA (By John Graudenz, United Press staff correspondent > Moscow—(By Mail) — “Americansky correspondenski” was all that was necessary in Moscow to open almost every door for us. Be it the tramcar conductor or tine sentry at the door, the shopkeeper or the population in general in the streets, the Amreican are the highest estimated foreigners in Moscow. Partly this is due to the announcement of the government papers that the Americans were the first and about the only people who came immediately to the rescue of the famine stricken sections without first investigating, whether there really was a famine at all In Russia. The French are today perhaps the most hated in Russia. “Seechas” (one moment) might mean from a minute to a month, or even longer than that. Four American correspondents arriving at Moscow made their first acquaintance witth the word while waiting for an hour at the Moscow station after the official courier, who had accompanied them from Riga to Moscow, left us there with the word “seechas” behind. Major Carroll of the A. R. A., too, has quite a few lessons of the real meaning of the word, whether it was , the cleaning of the house for his [residence and offices, the organization of his food train or for the ar- ! rival of the food itself from Riga. [This, however, was partly caused [through the delayal at the Latvian i side. Nevertheless, the Russians re--1 marked admirably what a remarkable i feat the Americans had accomplished when (he first food train left for Kansan—the famine region—within two weeks after the A. R. A. arrived in Moscow. This slowness is by no means due ,to lack of efficiency. It is due to the | Slavick njature and, secondly, it is [due to hunger. “These people have had a constant boring In their stomiachs for years. It affects the brain and the physical constitution of everyone,” a German diplomat told me at Moscow. There is another word characteristic for the Russian minds. “Neechevo," meaning don't matter, don’t mention it, and can’t be helped. “We probably all will die this winter of starvation. Neechevo.” WANT ADS EARN—S

BUSINESS BETTER ‘ t Says B. R. Inman of Indi- 11 ana Chamber of Com- ’ merce in Statement •l ’ • t PURCHASING POWER II > Os Farmer is Increased ‘ Through Marketing of This Season’s Crops. (UalteU !’»»■■ service). Indianapolis. Oct. 25—(Special to < Daily Democrat) — "Indiana has • reached the point In business re hab- ' illtatlon where signs are giving way ( to salutations—real for sure greet- , Ings to old friend prosperity who has 1 been away for some time," B. R. In- I man. manager of the Indiana State i Chamber of Commerce said today. "Ninety days ago there were signs. Now there are real facts,” he said. i Marketing of this year’s crops has increased the purchasing power of , farmers and this, in turn has stimulated retail business, he said. Excessive cost of factory output and excesive freight rates are the two outstanding things that are holding business back, he said. Here are some of the things upon which he bases his conclusions: Federal reserve discount, rates have again been lowered in some centers. The rise in the price of cotton has greatly stimulated marketing in the south; and as the result, the south’s buying power has been reflected throughout the country. Unemployment is steadily decreasing except in a few industries. Bank reserves have reached the highest point within four years, indicating the availability of ample funds for business expansion. Substantial reductions in the num--1 ber of idle freight cars, indicating a larger movement of the products of ■ factory, mine and farm. It is the report that upwards of 3,000 additional 1 freight cars are being put to work 1 each day. Substantial increase in the produc- • tion of pib iron and an increased dei maud for steel products. Heavy marketing of grain, enabi ling farmers to meet d part of their > obligations and increase their purchasing power. i Increased earnings of railroads ■ and the employment by the roads of 1 nearly 50,000 additional workers during the second quarter of the year. Building contracts for the last few weeks show a marked improvement . in the construction industry.

Spurgin, charged witli stealing a million dollars while president of the Michigan Avenue Trust Co., committed suicide in a Miami, Fla., hotel, according to word received by the state's attorney’s office here today.

MOTOR CLUB PROTECTS OWNERS Several Hundred official signs of I thie Hoosier State Auto association are now displayed at garages, service stttlons. filling stations, hotels, restaurants, chicken dinner resorts and I the like all testify as to the merit of I those particular places, showing their j affiliation with the state motor organ i is ttlon and worthiness of the patronage of motorists generally. Ail! these signs curry the famous AAA Interwoven, these letters standing for the American Automobile Association, having 1,000 Inter-affiliating clubs in the United States. Just to] show that the state association I really is looking out for the inter-1 ests of the traveling motorist it is stated that Just the other day one. of these official signs was removed | from a certain place of business in a' town not far from Indianapolis he-i cause the owner of that place had j been caught doing a lot of crooked■ work witli car owners. On discovery , of this fact, M. E. Noblet, secretary of the Hoosier Auto association ordered the official sign taken away| from that place. “If anybody in the state knows of a place where our sign is displayed unworthily, we will be glad to have that information.” states Mr. Noblet.
