ALLOW FRIENDS TO SEND FOOD TO SOVIET RUSSIA Plans for Aid of Starving Children Announced by Secretary’ Hoover. CAN SEND MONEY ALSO Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. IT.—Agreement between the American relief administration and the Soviet Government of Russia has been reached whereby persons in the United States or other countries can send food supplies to friends and relatives In Russia, according to Herbert Hoover. It, Is estimated that there are 2,000,000 Russians or Americans of Russian decscnt in the United Slates and probably 1,000,000 in Europe outside of Russia "and the arrangement was made in compliance of a large demand from them to assist their friends and rela tives. The procedure, as announced by Mr. Hoover, also provides for additional support to destitute children. Under the plan any one may remit funds by mail only, payable to the American relief administration of New York draft, money order, or certified cheek in sums of not less than $lO and in multiples of $lO through the American relief administration offices In New Y’ork, Washington and London for the benefit of any persons or group in Russia. These remittances must be accompanied by full name and address of beneficiary In Russia and such remittance will be advised to the headquarters of the American relief administration in Moscow. The Moscow office will direct the various American Relief administration childrens’ warehouses to get In touch with the beneficiaries and deliver food to them corresponding in amount to the money paid. If beneficiary cannot be fonnd within •0 days, remittances will be refunded to the purchaser. Advice of delivery of the food will, whereever possible, be sent to the purchaser. Food will consist of eight selections, according to stocks available, from the following commodities: Flour, bacon, lard, vegetable oil, tea, canned milk, hominy, sugar, coaca, rice, beans. Food trill be furnished at cost, but one quarter of the food purchased with each remittance will be handed to the canteens for the general feeding of destitute children; three quarters being delivered to the beneficiary of the remittance. The relief administration has so far established warehouses at Petrograa, Moscow, Samara, Simbirsk, Kazan, and Saratov, and while orders will be accepted on other regions their execution will depend upon arrangements for extending the system. Further warehouses will be established In the course of extension of the general relief to children end if demands for food remittances warrant. —Copyright, 1921, by I’ubllc Ledger Company.
URGE ROOSEVELT DAY OBSERVANCE Legion Asks Posts to Commemorate Anniversary. Observance of Theodorp Roosevelt's birthday on Oct. 27 Is urged upon all posts of the American Legiue in instructions being sent out by national headquarters of the service organization. Tne 11.000 legion units are asked to organize celebrations of their own or to take active part in exercises arranged by other community bodies. “The American Army In France and in the camps at home never had a better friend than Theodore Roosevelt,” tne legion Instructions read, “if in? Iraflrhad his wish he would have fought and died at our side; as it was, he fought the good cause at home until, like the soldier 'on the firing line, he fell fighting, with his face to the enemy. By his vigorous efforts for preparedness he made all Americans his debtors. No one will ever know bow many American lives were saved to future usefulness by his appeals for adequate protection before war came.”, Legion posts likewise are cooperating with the Roosevelt Memorial Association in collecting memorials of the former President. Members of the organization in all parts of the country are surrendIng letters which Colonel Roosevelt had written them, asknowledging applications for service in the division which he tried to form for world war servlet, along with other mementoes of the great American for preservation by the memorial society.

According to Edward J. Ader, attorney for Miss Palmer, Ghe plans tb file suit for divorce from Siegal, charging 'cruelty. Siegal alleges be and his wife could live happily together if it were not for Dempsey. The champion threw out a hint that desire for “a little cheap publicity” might be a motive in Siegal’s suit. “Say, when I marry a girl I won't marry an actress,” Jack assorted. ‘Til go out and get myself an honest-to-goodness girl with bloom In her cheeks.

CHURCH UNION CLAIMS JUST ONE SOLID FOOTING (Continued From Page One.) agreement, via.: that there must be a cause for our existence. The premise of existence leads unavoidably to the conclusion that there is a cause for existence. We may, however, differ as to the nature of that cause. “Writing on the subject of causation Mrs. Eddy says on page 544 of the Christian Science textbook, ‘Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,’ ‘man exists because God exists.’ And Jesus said, ‘Call no man your father upon the earth, for one Is your father, which is in heaven.’ The Lord's prayer is addressed to ‘our Father which art in heaven,’ and at one time Jesus said, ‘I ascend unto ray Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.' ” ' • SPIRITUAL CAUSATION TAUGHT BY SCIENCE. \ “Causation, as understood *by Jesus, and as taught by Christian Science, is spiritual. This spiritual cause Is the one infinite, heavenly Father whom men call God. The scriptures not only* declare God to be Father, but to be the Almighty, the Everlasting I AM, Spirit, Life. Truth, Love. Christian Scientists accept these scriptural definitions of God without reservation, but they also think of God as being infinite good, as supreme Intelligence, or Mind, the one self-existent and eternal Life, or Consciousness. God is thus seen as the only source, origin, cause, or creative Principle, “These scriptural and Christlanly scientific synonyms for Deity give us a better understanding of the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God. From the standpoint of spiritual causation it is readily seen that creation must be spiritual, since effect must always be like cause. If God, the only creator, is Mind, or Spirit, then His creation must be mental, or spiritual. Since God is Infinite Consciousness, or divine Mind, his universe must be a conscious universe The office of Mind Is to think, and the effect of thinking Is thought; hence the universe of Mind is a universe of thought consisting of ideas which perfectly express their divine origin. The only real and enduring universe, then, existing In Mind, partakes of the exact nature of Its Principle, or Creator. It, therefore, reflects *ll the divine attributes, including permanence, immortality, beauty, order, harmony, health, joy, peace, purity, perfection. The universe of Spirit Is governed by aosolute' law, and is held forever in safety and security by the power that created it. This universe, being* infinite and allinclusive, lacks nothing—it is complete. All things In this universe are the expression of perfect Mind,r God, and for His pleasure 'they are and were created.’ MAN CREATED IN’ GOD’S I WAGE. “The Scriptures tell tis in tho first chapter of Genesis that man was created in the image and after the likeness or God. A true likeness is that which perfectly expresses its original. If, therefore, man is created in the likeness of God, he must be exactly like his creator. If God is Spirit, man, In His likeness, must be spiritual. If God is Truth, man, as the Image of God, must be truthful, honest, sincere. If God is Love, man, in his true nature, must be loving, gentle, kind, compassionate. If God is Life, man must be and is the living image of life. This man, the true man, the only real man. is not subject to chance nor change. He is as changeless as his eternal Principles. He is not the victim of lack nor of limitation. He reflects the infinite abundance of Spirit or God. He is not doomed to decrepitude and uissolution. He exists forever at the eternal noontide of being. He is always at the standpoint of limitless opportunity, activity, and supply. “In the second chapter of Genesis there Is, however, an account of creation which presents a very different picture of mar. It says, ’the Lord God formed man of the dust of the around, and breathed into his nostrils tuc breath of life.’ Later it states that the Lord rnadi woman out of a rib which he had taken from the side of man, and this, in spite of the fact that in the first chapter it says, ‘God created man in his own image, in the image Aif God created biui; male and female created he them.’ Both of these accounts of creation could not, of course, be correct, for they are contra dictory. Viewed from the standpoint of spiritual creation as it is recorded in the first chapter of Genesis, the story beginning in the second chapter Is seen to be entirely inconsistent and illogical. Christian Science shows this account to be an allegory written for the 1 purpose of describing a false, materialisi tic sense of the real spiritual creation. | This, however, is. the account about which ! we hear most frequently, even from the- ! ologians, probably because it seems to ! coincide with our everyday experience; ! that is, if we view existence from the | standpoint of material sense. MISCONCEPTIONS FROM
JIAN’S VIEWPOINT. “From the material point of view man seems to be nothing but an organism, with a mind inside of it, a mere machine controlled by a supposed intelligence, which is invisible and which has never been satisfactorily explained by humau philosophy.' Someone may be thinking, 'Why, the explanation is very simple. The brain is the seat of man's intelligence, and it, through the nervous system, controls and regulates the functions and faculties, the movements aud actions of the human body.’ But what made the brain intelligent? What gave it the power to think and to direct activity? Who has ever seen the intelligence that is supposed to be In the brain, and how do we know that it is there ? Many people in the Orient believe tb seat of intelligence to be in the stomach ; and it might Just as well be there as in the brain, for there is no essential difference between the kind of stuff that constitutes the stomach and that which constitutes the brain. Under chemical analysis they would both yield exactly the same product. The difference, then, is oue of belief only; and the fact is that neither the brain nor the stomach can originate the least bit of real intelligence. On page ItiH of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says. ‘There is no Life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind aud its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all.’ This statement may seem startling to some of you. but it is no more startling nor rndical than the declaration of Jesus, ‘lt is the Spirit that quickenefh; the flesh profitetb nothing.’ To the physical senses matter seems -real ami substantia!, but these senses testify truly, even of things in their ‘own realm. Paul evidently knew this for he said, ‘The things which are seen are not made of things which do appear.’ and a modern college professor has gaid of material objects that all wo know about them i8 that they are not what they seem to be. Mrs. Eddy agrees that matter is not what it seems to be, Tiut shd does not leave the subject there and say that is all we can know about it. She explains what matter is, that it exists only as a false, fleeting concept of tbe human mind, as a subjective state of mortal thought, or belief. But Christian Science does not take matter away from ns and leave nothing in Its place, for on page 2H9 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says, ‘Metaphynii-s resolves things into thoughts, and the objects of sense for the ideas of Soul. These ideas are perfectly real and tanginle to spiritual consciousness, and they have this advantage over the objects and thoughts of material sense—they are good and eternal.’ DECURES DISEASE ONLY MENTAL AFFLICTION. “Even slight recognition of the unreality of matter is of great practical value in everyday, human experience. Take, for example, the question of disease which occupies the attention of to many people so much of the time. in the treatment of disease, knowledge of the unreal nature of matter helps one to see that pain and suffering are not conditions of matter, bjit ot thought. To know this Is to falce tie first step In the direction of the permanent eradication of disease. If, as Mrs. Eddy says, the>e is no sensation nor Intelligence in matter, it is obvious that matter cannot be sick or in pain, and that if there seems to be a sense of pain or illness. It must be in thought, and not in the body. This fact having been discerned, the futility of treating conditions, or mental states, with material remedies becomes evident. How impossible it would be to remove an erroneous mental condition by the use of driigs. mineral water, mud baths, or even by means of a surgical operation. Yet every day adds to the list of mental causes for disease admitted by physicians. Among the mental causes for sickness that have been recognized by physicians are fear, worry, hatred, and anger. To these Chriotian Scientists would add envy. Jealousy, greed, dishonesty, and all flagrant and subtle phases of sin. ‘‘Chief among the mental causes for
disease is fear Fear is mankind’s worst foe. Consideration of some of the many things of which people are afraid will convince you of this fact. They are ufraid of food, of climate, of germs, of criticism, of failure, of poverty, of disease, of death. Many other phases of fear, too numerous to mention, are famllia- to us all. And, it may be said that sometimes we Just fear ’fear.’ "Christian Science removes fear by first removing the ignorance which causes fear. A really intelligent or truly enlightened individual could not possibly be afraid. True spiritual enlightenment shows that God, infinite good, is the only real presence and power, and destroys the Ignorant belief in an opposing power called evil.- It Is impossible for one vyho is really enlightened to believe the divine Love, the only creator, would create man in His image, and then make evil conditions to frighten and overpower him. The universe of Mind, Spirit, Includes only those ideas that express Love. It does not include anything that man could fear. This universe of God is the only real universe. There is nothing in it of which man could be afraid; hence fear has no real basis, and, absolutely speaking, there is no fear. “The process employed by Christian Scientists in overcoming fear is the same as that used by them In destroying all discordant, sinful, and erroneous beliefs of the human mind. It is a process of education, or spiritual enlightenment, which substitides as consciousness, right or true ideas*for wrong beliefs. This proces Is a liberating one, and, eventually, it will briug complete freedom from all Ills. Jesus said, ’lf ye continue In my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’ —from ignorance, superstition, fear, and sin—free from the false, material beliefs, or man-made Jaws which seem to hold humanity in bondage. SCIENCE ANNULS SICKNESS AND DISTRESS. “That the asserted laws which are believed to result in sickness, accident, failure, poverty, and distress are not real laws, was proved conclusively by Jesus, as it had been proved to a great extent by the prophets of old. When Peter's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, Jesus rebuked the fever (rebuked the feur), and she was well. Iu so doing. Jesus not only, freed this woman from fear and from /tne consequent fever, but he also Uemononstrated that the medical belief that a fever must continue for a certain time is not a law. Ts it were a law, Jesus could not have healed this woman instantaneously. “At another time Jesus was approached by a leper, who said, ’Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean,” and Jesus stretched forth his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I will, be thou clean,’ and the man was instantly healed. Thus Jesus proved, at one and the same time, his fearlessness of contagious disease, and that the so-called law of contagion is not a law. When Jesus raised Lazarus, he overcame for him the asserted laws of mortality, dissolution, and decay. When he walked on the water, he overcame for himself the so-called law of specific gravity, and proved it to be only a theory. When he fed the multitude, he set aside the material laws of production and of demand and supply. He revealed supply to be the ever present fact, and showed that supply is mental. It was us easy for Jesus to multiply figures. He understood the process to be luataphysk-al. not depending in any way upon matter or material laws. It is neither irreverent nor inaccurate to say that Jesus of Nazareth was at once the world's greatest inea physician and Us best business man. He was engaged in the most important and exalted business there ever was: the business of knowing good and doing good, the ’Father's business.’ Jesus was absolutely successful In bis business. He neither faltered nor failed. He al way* had what he needed when he needed it. When money was needed for tribute, it was found in the fish's mouth.

When he needed to be, on the other side of the lake, he was immediately there His .rules of business conduct were golden: ‘Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you.’ ‘Love toy neighbor as theyself.’ ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things sh.lll be added unto yoq.’ % MIRACLES OF JESUS DIVINELY NATURAL. "The works of Jesus were not miracles in the sense of being infractions of law. They were marvelous to human sense, because it is difficult for the human mind to grasp the divine naturalness of the operation of spiritual law in human experience. But for the very reason that these works of Jesus were divinely natural and lawful, they can be done today by those who 'understand spiritual law and its application to human needs. That is why Jesus could say, ‘He that believeth iu me (he who understands Christ), the works that I do shall he do also.’ And it is a fact that these works of healing through spiritual law are ; being done today by Christian Scientists, to a very considerable extent. Through this work of spiritual healing and regeneration Christian Science is gradually displacing the carnnl mind, which Raul said is death, and is establishing the Christ-miud, w T hich is Life. Jesus said, ‘This is life ieternal, that they might kn >\v thee, the only true God ana Jesus Christ whom thou hast seut.’ So the attainment of immortality does not depend upon dying and going to a faroff heaven or to any other placid It de Sends upon knowing the Truth, right ere and now, the truth about God who i Is Life. CORRECTED IDEAS OF HEAVEN AND HELL. , \ i “It is probably true that thousands have approached the transition known as death In doubt as to whether they would reach heaveu, if not in positive fear that they would go to hell. This doubt and fear were due to the belief that both heaven and hell are places to which one may go after passing through the experience called death. Christian Science teaches 'that the experience of death is only a moment of extieme fear, and that one does not necessarily become less material or more spiritual by passing through that experience. Even after that he will have to go on working out his salvation until, through education and enlightenment, he Is gradually freed from the Illusions of matter and evil. Christis" Science showt that the only hell is belief In the reality of evjl, matter, disease, and death. This hell, obviously, is not It, one place more than another, and the way for one to keep otit of hell Is to keep hell out of , him—out of his thinking, j “Heaven, Jesus said, is ‘at hand.' Ts I this Is true, then it canont. be a place to ! w l bieli one may go through the ’valley of 1 the shadow.' Jesus said again, speaking of .heaven, ’ne ther shall you say lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.’ Ff it is true that the kingdom of heaven Is within, | then it must be a condition of thought, i or consciousness, and not a place. Christian Science teaches that heaven Is liar ! monv. and that it is wherever divine IPrinciplelPrinciple is understood and demonstrated. It can not be attained tyy dying and going somewhere or anywhere. It can only be realized as a state of divine Mind. | Thus Christian *1(01*006 establishes. | through right thinking, the kingdom of heaven, and destroys the only bell that j ever existed, even to human sense, the hell of wrong thinking. ‘There is nothing either good or bad.' said Shakespeare, Tut thinking make* It so ’ And even before that the writer of Proverbs said, ’As a man thlnketh In his heart, so is he.’ Mrs. Eddy writes, ’Sin make* its own hell, and goodness its own heaven.’ (S. &- 11. 198; 18 and 19^, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BRINGS HEALTH. ! “Christian Science brings health and happiness to mankind by removing from human consciousness the belief in dis •use and sin. Jesus said. ’lf I by the finger (the power) of God cast out devils (evils), then Is the kingdom of God come nlgli unto you.’ The ‘flAger of God’ has not, ia the aenturies that have Intervened 6ince the time of Jesu*, lost its
power to cast devils (evils) from the human mind. Therefore, the kingdom of God is brought nigh unto us In Christian Science. Jesus healed all manner of disease nineteen hundred years ago through the activity of tne Chnst-mind. He paid no attention to physical symptoms or conditions, but confined his attention entirely to the mental state of the one who was in need of healing. To the man sick of the palsy, he said, ‘Son, be of good cheer. Thy sins be forgiven thee,’ recognizing that this man’s disability was due to an evil mental state, and that when the sin was forgiven, or destroyed, he would be well, And so he was. “Today, Christian Science, the Christ science, disregarding matter and its supposed laws, healß sickness and sin through the power of this same Christmind. The work of healing, roformation, and regeneration, which Christian Science is accomplishing, results from Truth’s appearing and error's disappearing. It Is natural and beautiful. It Is spontaneous and harmonious, like the appearance of light dispelling darkness Real Christian healing does not. therefore. Involve a fight or struggle. In order to demonstrate the reality and/power of good, and the consequent unrealty and powerlessness of evil, it Is not necessary to men tally ‘bent the air.’ Indeed. It may bo truly said that the more struggle there is In a prayer, or treatment, the less real Science there Is in it. “Because the practice of Christian Science is identical with primitive Christian healing, it is not like mesmerism, hypnotism, mental suggestion, or any form of so-called 'drugless healing.’ Christian Scientists do not depend in healing upon the use of human will power, nor upon any kind of mental manipulation There is no effort on the part of the Christian Science practitioner to ‘control’ his patient mentally. On the contrary, his effort Is to convince the patient that there is in reality but one controlling Influence or power—that of divine Mind. Jesus said, ‘I can of mine own self do nothing. The Father that dwelleth in me, he doetb the works. Christian Science claims no other healing power but this eternal Christ-mind, which healed sickness and sin in the early Christian era, and is healing today, and will continue to heal so long as there Is need of healing.
THOUSANDS RESTORED TO HE.ALTH. I “In the Christian Science text-book there Is a chapter of one hundred pages, called ‘Fruitage.’ This chapter consists of letters w ritten by those who have been healed of chronic and acute diseases, and of various kinds of sin and vice, by the reading and study of Science and Health. Countless others are continually testifying that they have been healed bv the study of the Bible iu the light of Christian Science. Others tell of being healed by the spoken word at Christian Science church services, and at the authorized lectures on Christian Science. The healing has come to them from nothing less than Christ, Truth. Spiritual enlightenment has revealed to them the divine facts of being. These eternal facts, displacing temporal falsities, have transformed their thinking, and what Is known as a normal state of health has resulted But Just In. proportion as they have become spirltual'y enlightened, they have discerned the fact that real health is not bodily, but mental. It is spiritual wholeness or per feetion. Mrs Eddy writes on page VJO of Science and Health, a* follows: ’Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind: nor can the material senses bear reliable testimony on the subject of health.' MRS EDDY’S DISCOVERY OF CHRISTIAN HEALING. “After Mrs, Eddy discovered this Science of Christian healing, she demonstrated Its truth In many wonderful Instance* of healing through spiritual power alone. She then wrote and published the great text book of Christian Science. 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,’ and other books on the same subject. She latfr established the system of spiritual ten< hing and healing which Is rapidly extending into all p uts of the world. She founded The Mother
THE BASEMENT STORE-
Church, The First Cbufeh of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, which Includes all I the activities of this world-wide movement, and of which all other Christian Science churches are branches. She provided this church with a Manual of byi laws, which, she says, if followed In leti ter and spirit, will prove adequate to guide this greut movement throitghout all time. The wisJotn, courage, faithfulness, consecration and Inspiration of Mrs. Eddy's leadership are dally becoming more apparent and better appreciated. SCIENCE DEVELOPS LATENT POWERS. “On page 128 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy say*, ‘The term Science, properly understood, refers only to the laws God and to His government of the universe Inclusive of min. •• * * A knowledge of the Science of being develops the latent abilities and possibilities of man. It extends the atmosphere of thought, giving mortals access to broader and higher realms. It raises the thinker Into bis native air f insight and perspicacity.’ Christian Science, then, is the Science of true living, or real being. For this reason it is equal to the solution of efrery human problem. Earnest thinkers—teachers, philosophers, economists, slid statesmen —are deeply concerned wttu the solution of the many problem* which confront us at this time. The correct solution of these problems i* of the utmost importance to mankind; and It Is a cause for rejoicing that this solution Is *t hand. In the Science of Christianity will be found the right way out of all forms of human discord. Jesus of Nazareth knew more about true economy and harmonious government, than any man who ever lived. ‘‘Today we find discord and unrest on every hand. The world is In an unprecedented state of turmoil, Strikes and lockouts, conflicts and controversies are raging all about us. This is due entirely to the Inherent selfishness of tne human mind and nothing will still the tempest but the Mind of Christ. Many are looking forward, —some hopefully and expectantly—to the establishment of permanent peace. But we cannot overlook the fact tbet there are in all human organizations the elements which make for war and strife, because in all human institutions, whether known as governments, churches, labor unions, employers' associations, schools, or families, may De found the injustice, dishonesty, avarice, and fear which generate war. These evil, mental traits obtain to *ome extent in the consciousness of every individual being. And. obviously, an organization can be no better than the individuals who compose it. Thus it will he seen that the conflict in thought between good and evil, right and wrong, must continue, uudOr the guidance and direction of divine Principle, until every vestige of evil thinking has been displaced by the Mind of Christ; and then shall thev world have peace. ’There is one thought in particular which, if you will carry it away with you from this lecture, will be found most helpful in your daily experience, whatever the nature of your occupation may be. The thought to which 1 refer is this: There is a power always available to you that is greater than any human power, bigger than any person or set of persons, superior to any circumstances This power is the law of Love, the law of divine Principle. It is not necessary to go anywhere to find this law, for It Is ever present. You need not wait for it to become operative, for It is always operating You can rest in the assurance that this law of divine Principle will turn and overturn, adjust and readjust, until the conscious harmony of your being la revealed as an established fact. “Near the beginning of the lecture 1 quoted one sentence from what Is known as the ‘Scientific Statement of Being.’ which will be found on page 46S of Science and Health. This statement is the essence and epitome of Christian Ccience. It may be amplified and Commented upon indefinitely, but nothing essential ean be added to It. I should like in closing to
read this statement In full. It Is as follows : “ ‘There Is no life, truth, Intelligence, nor substance In matter. All is Infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, foi God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God. and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.’”
GOOD ROADS ACT WILL GIVE WORK TO 350,000 MEN Conference Report Provides for $75,000,000 to !>.: Distributed to States. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Publto Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Between 300,000 and 300,000 men will be given employment by the adoption of the conference report on the so-called good roads bill, according to the Department of Agriculture. The report, provid’ng for the appropriation of $75,000,000 to he distributed among States is accordance with Federal aid roads act, is now pending in Congress. Its adoption within a few weeks is expected. As agreed upon by the conferees, the $75,000,000-shall be distributed so as to provide $25,000,000 to the States for road construction immediately upon enactment of the measure and $50,000,000 six months later. In addition, $5,000,000 is to be immediately available for national forest roads and $10,000,000 more on July L 1922. “Thirteen States have reported to the departmen, Jpzt their highway work is being delayed because they have exhausted previous allotments of Federal aid,” the department states, “or that they are holding work planned in anticipation of the new appropriation. Other Stales are preparing enlarged programs of road construction. “Jn virtually all cases, these are the more populous States which receive large allotments and already haWe taken the legislative action necessary to meet the requirements of the Federal highway measure.” Under the provisions of the law, each Slate must make an appropriation equal to the amount coming to it from the Federal Government before the funds are available.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

A copy of the message was received at the local office of the association today. Mr. Tregoe's message says! "Immigration is one of the Nation's big problems, a problem larger than many realize. Attention should be directed to It at the present time, as the rising wave of crime appears to disclose a* large number of aliens who have not become Citizens of the Nation. The question therefore arises, have we been sufficiently careful in our Inspection of the immigrant, and have-the laws of the Nation been carefully applied in determining who should and wdo should not enter the portals of the Nation and become candidates for citizenship. "In the commercial field the crime wst# has been discernible, and very many ol the offender* bear names of foreign origin, and are men who seemingly have troughs from their native countries the lowest of standards and no qualifications at ail for inclusion in our citizenship. "The desirable alien has always had a welcome to our shores and should have, as he will never affect our economic problems or complicate oar labor situations. “It is the undesirable Immigrant who is causing the concern and if by any chance the immigration laws of the Nation are not sufficiently strong and inspections under them not carefully conducted. the>e defect* should be repaired, for the Nation's safety. “Not only at the point of embarkation should the concern of the Nation for ita future citizens be exerted, but at the point of disembarkation should the inspection be very rigid, and the undesirable alien prevented from complicating our economic conditions and trading on the credulity of our people. "Our country at present is very attractive to the peoples of the world, where economic situation* are bearing down hard on living standards and for this reason the importance increases of the rigid application of our immigration luws. "We appeal for this with all the powers at our command, wo seal it Is a subject deserving the earnest consideration of our citizenship and in conclusion, when the desirable alien arrives Into our midst he should be received in tha proper way and be made to realize the rail sp'rit of America. \ “Settling In colonies and thereby congest. ag our larger cities, should ba avoided as far as possible. Aliens whose minds and affections run to the soil and who can help us in unfolding the undeveloped powers of our agricultural States should be especially welcomed.”
