BAR MEXICAN IMMIGRATION [OR Congress to pass a general immigration law holding to a narrow quota all overseas immigration, and yet to leave the gates wide open for Mexicans seems to be and is absurd. * The Mexican is as indigestible an immigrant as any that comes from Europe or Asia. There are Mexican settlements in the United States that are as old as this Government and where the fourth and fifth generation is no more Americanized than the first one was, 150 years ago. So long as the Mexican invasion was confined to the border states and to the agriculture there, and until unlimited immigration into the United States had not set up an acute and chronic indigestion, the Mexican problem was not urgent. Now, however, with Mexicans penetrating into the mines and mills of the North the question becomes serious indeed. Any argument that would bar free and unlimited immigration from southeastern Europe—or from anywhere else—would apply with equal force to Mexicans. It is not toq late for Congress to put a Mexican bar in the immigration bill and it should be done. The Mexicans are not crowded at home. They have a rich and salubrious country. They should stay there while we proceed with our painful task of digesting the immigrants already here.

WHAT IS MELLON HIDING ? TiHE first impulse of an innocent man whose integrity has been questioned is to demand a hearing in order to kill the unjust suspicion. ✓ Secretary Mellon, by objecting to an examination of his administration of the bureau of internal revenue, did just the opposite. 1 " Until he not only permits but demands that the record be fully searched, he cannot complain if his acts are viewed with increasing suspicion. Through President Coolidge and G. 0. P. leaders in the Senate. Secretary Mellon is obstructing the work of the Couzens committee. The Jones resolution, which would empower the committee to employ counsel, is being held in committee by action of G. O. P. regulars. Mellon’s friends should be made to realize that every effort to delay the proceedings is an indictment of the secretary. If he has nothing to hide, now* is the time to prove it. That the truth will remain hidden is the grave danger. If the Senate regulars can. by hook or crook, keep the Jones resolution bottled up until the Senate takes up the tax bill, the purposes of the investigation will fail. The Senate will then recess, instead of adjourn, from day to day, and the tax bill will become law before the committee can bring out the facts that should be known before the Senate acts. Senator Couzens made a fine start with this investigation before he was taken sick. The work should not stop because of his illness. There are other Senators that can take his place, and* if the G. O. P. old guard does not permit them to do so, it will be taken by the public as evidence that the Republican party had some skeleton concealed in the Treasury closet. . And skeletons are poor assets, just before election.

IT’S A BIG IDEA P' RESIDENT COOLIDGE has taken a step that is tine in its i ____ way—one that should have been taken a long time ago. He has appointed a contmittee, composed of' Secretaries Weeks, Work. Wallace and Hoover and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, to formulate plans whereby the national playgrounds may be made available to all. rich and poor, who may desire to play. In other words, his purpose is to organize and direct, through Federal agencies, a grand and general program for outdoor recreation. It is a worth-while idea and the only wonder is that the Government, controlling millions on millions of acres of national forests and parks, has failed uihil now to realize the advantages of placing those magnificent holdings under a well-defined and widespread program that would give to the people their fullest enjoyment. Some of the States have long recognized the advantages of such a program, chief among them being New York, and Syracuse Uni versify has for years maintained a course, not only in forestry, but in fitting students for leadership in teaching the public how to use the forests as playgrounds and recreation retreats. * * , ' • As we say, the project is fine. Its inception, however, would have been more promising and valuable time would have been saved had there been placed on the committee at least one man who knows something about playing in the great outdoors. That thought seems to have escaped the President entirely. ONE nomination for the All-Indianapolis Pest is the'male or female, person who persists in strolling up the left-hand side of the sidewalk. THAT the great American public still has a sense of humor is shown by the interest in latest returns from the passing of Ping, the Paderewski Pooch. NOW if that smoke consumer the inventor claims will eliminate 10 per cent of the fuel costs will only eliminate 50 per cent of the smoke everything will be lovely. “I DO not know how to handle a cigarette or a hip flask,” said Mrs. Magnus Johnson, and, of course, it can be seen at a glance that Washington was no place for her. EX-AMBASSADOR HARVEY has been heard from and he says he is an “independent independent.” He proved that some time ago when he wore those pink knickies. MORE and more we are convinced, from attendance at recent movies, that blacksmiths or sailors write the courtroom scenes, while lawyers or others equally versed in railroading, direct the train wrecks.

ELECTRON JUMPS TO NEW ORBIT S--1 * > /'• 1 . Result Is Wave of Light, According to Quantum Theory, By DAVID DIETZ 2 Science Editor of The Times E r ~~ " LECTRONS, as the reader now knows, are particles of positive - or negative electricity. In ordinary conversation when we speak of electricity we mean an electric current. The electric current is nothing more or less than a stream or flow of electrons. In an electric battery, the chemical action causes the collection of electrons at one terminal of the battery and then forces these along the wire connected to the terminal. The physicist thinks of these electrons -is being "handed” along the wire from atom to atom just as at a country fire the men composing the bucket brigade hand along the buckets of water. Space in the neighborhood of a. wire carrying an electric current seems to behave in a special way. The physicist says that there are magnetic lines of force in the space around the wire. We can prove this by running the wire through a piece of cardboard and scattering iron tilings on the cardboard. The filings always arrange themselves in definite patterns depending upon the direction and strength of the electric current and other factors.

Cause of Magnetism lC magnet behaves very much the same. And physicists now believe that magnetic phenomena are due tq the fact that the atoms in magnetic substances are arranged in such a way that there is an action of the electrons within the substance which corresponds in some general way to the action of the electrons flowing in the wire which carries an electric current. Now changes in the flow of the electric current in the wire, that i in the motion of the electrons, cause changes in the so-called lines of force in the space around the wire. Consequently a sudden starting and stopping of the electrons would cause kinks or curves in the lines of force. When we have a high-frequency alternating current, that is one where the direction of the electron flow changes thousands of times a second, the lines of force take on a wave-like formation and we have electro magnetic or radio waves. The generation of heat and light waves, which are so very much shorter than radio waves, lies within the action of molecules themselves or the atoms and electrons within the molecules. IJght Due to Electrons When a hody is heated the vibration or oscillation of the molecules is increased. In addition, the atoms also are set in greater vibration within the molecule. This results in the generation of heat waves. The generation of light waves is due to the electrons within the atom. Absorption of energy by the atom. Absorption of energy by the outer electrons of an atom forces them Into new and larger orbits. But the inner balance of the atom causes the electron to drop back to its old orbit again. This action causes the generation of light wave*. Scientists were for a long time puzzled by the fact that only certain kinds of light waves could be gotten from certain substances. They were also puzzled by the fact that the light when analyzed closely seemed to consist of little driblets of energy Instead of a continuous flow. This was first noticed by Max Planck, a German physicist, who celled the little driblets in which light energy seemed to exist "quanta” and the theory, the “quantum theory.” This is explained on the basis that the electrons of Ihe atom in assuming new orbits can only take certain definite ones. Each time an electron slips back into its old orbit, it releases a definite amount or “quantum” of energy. Next article; X*-ravs. (Copyright, 1924, by David Dietz)

What does Mavourneen mean? Machree? Macushla ? “My darling;” "my heart;” “dear” or “dearest.” Why do floods follow the destruction of forests? Because the removal of forests destroys the ground cover of leaf-mold, which once absorbed rain and snowwaters, holding and distributing them to the soil. Cleared of forests and its spongy ground cover, the bared soil absorbs comparatively little water, most of which runs off rapidly, swelling streams and flooding and eroding the lower ground. Do automobiles pay enough in various taxes, licenses, etc., to cover most of the bills for highways? In 1922 the total expenditure for highways in the whole of the United States was $898,352,307. In that same year $162,047,823 was paid into State treasuries by motor owners in the way of registration fees, licenses, etc. In addition, they paid $11,923,433 in gasoline taxes. The Federal excise tax on cars, trucks, tires, parts, etc., paid by each purchaser of a motor vehicle, amounted in the year to $104,433,763. Personal property and wheel taxes also amounted to approximately 860,000,000. Os bourse all of this money is not used for roads, but went into the various treasuries. However, a considerable portion was spent on highways.

HOW BONUS WOULD GO TO VETERAN Exact Terms Doubtful —Endowment Plan Is Almost Certain, By C. A. RANDAL* C"“1 ONGRESS expects to pass the soldiers' bonus bill and turn it over to President Coolidge for executive action. About that there is no longer the slightest doube. The exact terms of the final bill are still uncertain, but present indications are that the bonus will consist of an endowment insurance policy for each veteran who served more than 110 days. The House has already passed such a bill. The Senate now has under consideration two propositions. One is an almost exact duplicate of the House bill, and the other provides for immediate cash payments. The Senate expects to turn its attention to the bonus question after the immigration bill has been disposed of. How Flan Works The endowment insurance plan is worked out as follows: Assume that a veteran served 560 days overseas. His basic bonus, at the rate of $1.25 per day of service, excluding the first sixty days, would be $625. Instead of receiving the $625 in cash, he would be given an endowment policy for approximately $1,600, payable in twenty years, or upon his death should he die within the twentyyear period.

The amount of insurance is arrived at by giving to the veteran a paid up insurance policy equal to the amount his $625 would buy if paid in a lump sum for a twenty-year policy. In addition, Congress proposes to add 25 per cent to the amount of the policy. Whereas the $625 would buy, for a man of 27, a twenty-year endowment policy for about $1,280 from a regular commercial company. Congress would add 25 - per cent, making the total $1,600. Veterans who served less than 110 days are excluded from the insurance policy. Men who served sixty duys or less are given no bonus whatever. Those who served over sixty days and less than 111) days are to be given cash bonuses. All others are to be provided with insurance certificates, worked out on the plan outlined above except that in no case are the first sixty days of service to be counted. The reason for this is that when the veterans were discharged from service they were each given a cash payment of S6O. Bonus advocates tfgreed to consider this payment as a. bonus on the first sixty days of a veteran's service. The average size of the endowment policies for the 3.000.000 veterans who served over 110 days will be approximately SI,OOO. The largsrt policies will be slightly over $1,600 and the smallest about $125.

Many Are Dead Os the 4.500.000 World War Veterans who were living on Jan. 1, 1919, nearly 200,000 had died before Jan. 1, 1924. Os the remainder, nearly 900,000 served less than sixty days and consequently will receive no bonus. Nearly 400,000 served more than sixty days, but less than 110 days and will receive cash bonuses. “*The average age of the remainder 3,000.000 is estimated at thirty-two, and the average amount of adjusted compensation is estimated at $382. This sum, plus 25 per cent, will purchase for a 82-year-old man an endowment policy for $962 payable in twenty years. For a younger man the policy would be larger, for an older one somewhat smaller. Pending the maturity of the endowment policies, veterans are to be per mitfed to borrow, after the' first two years, up to 90 per cent of the cash value of the policies. Senate Democrats have introduced a-bill to pay cash bonuses to all “vets,” eliminating the insurance plan entirelyHook and Line By HALL COCHRAN The catch of the season is plenty Os reason why people should ponder and dream. And every one's wishln’ that they could go tishin’ and loaf by thp side of a stream. The bamboo is calling: we’ll ail soon be failing; our lines will be knotted and strung. Desires everlasting to be out a-costing are silenced when fish lines are flung. The whir of a reel makes a fisherman feel that the call of the open and wild is taking him back to the days when the knack of casting was his. as a child. To sit on a dock or a moss covered rock and wait for the bobber to beckon is what makes the dream, as you sit by a stream, the real call of nature, I reckon. Your luck is a chance, sir, but people will answer the call ’cause they can’t help but heed. It's sport just to tinker with hook, line and sinker and that’s ail you actually need.

Science Moralists contend that lies cause more evil In the world than thefts or any other human perversity. Science is now working on plans for making it hard to lie. Truth serums have been invented. But the latest enemy of prevarication Is a simple little instrument called the retinoscope. - The inventor, a New York optical scientist, Dr. W. D. Bates, starts on the generally admitted psychological basis that a lie causes a mental strain. He says this strain in turn causes temporary nearsightedness. The retInoscope reflects a bright light into a mirror. The subject's eye is studied through the instrument while he repeats the doubted statement. If he is drawing upon the imagination, rather than upon memory. Doctor Bates says, the shadow of the retina moves in an opposite direction than the direction of the shifting mirror. The fact that this is a reflex action, flncontrollable, insures the accuracy of the test, according to the claim of the Inventor. It is a test no criminal can dodge, though he may refuse to take a truth serum.

Better Look After That Back Fence

SECURITIES EXEMPTION IS MISTAKE Mellon Is Striking at Public Development, Herbert Quick Thinks, By HERBERT QUICK OVERNOR RITCHIE of Maryland went to the front in Washington against Secretary Mellon's blow at tajc-exempt securities. This is the only official voire yet heard front the States on the new attack on the rights of States, cities, counties and other municipalities to borrow money without being taxed on their bonds, and of the farmers to get low interest through the Federal farm loan bureau. This is the first of a movement in the States, which mifst gTow.

Not Tax Matter The propaganda against tax-exempt securities is riot what it seems. It is not a taxation matter at all, and nobody knows that better than that great representative of special interests, Mr. Mellon. They do not declare their real purposes. If they did they would not get very far. They cloak their objects behind a demand for tax reform, relying on the blindness of the debtor class to the fact that taxes on evidences of indebtedness are always paid by the borrower. The rely on the fact that the borrowing public are fools. But this may not be a universal fact. m Would Kill Progress The object of the Mellonites is to kill public ownership of public utilities; to kill the great super power i plans of the progressives; to kill the : building of roads which will compete with railways; to kill the ability of States, counties, towns, villages and cities to do business untaxed. Give Congress power to tax the present tax-exmpt securities and you give it power to destroy the movements financed by them. You put all our local work, from the State highway down to the schoolhouse in tht next block, under the thumb of -Con gross. You end local self-government except as permitted by Congress. Anc. you change this republic Into a centralized empire.

Around Town Bad weather reduced the usual Sun day crowds at the golf links. It was noticed the Easter crowds in the churches were larger than usual. Any one who has been away from the city very long would hardly recognize Monument Circle? The Guaranty Bldg, and the Continental National Bank Bldg, have done much to change its appearance, and now the Columbia Club Is being torn down and the Hotel English is having its face cleaned. Many citizens are not waiting for paint-up and clean-up week, but have been busy with paint brushes and rakes since the first robing appeared. Don't worry. There wijl be plenty of warm days on which to wear those Easter clothes. If Ali Baba was naif as tough looking as Clifford Richter is in that Shrine show make-up it is no wonder he got away with so many things. Bring on your fishing stories. Let’s see who can tell the biggest one. Once again, let us remind you that the car company has announced that old-time car tickets are not good for 7-cent rides. Judge Sidney S.

“HANI" MOST POPULAR IN WASHINGTON Japanese Ambassador Known by Nickname in Nation’s Capital, By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Meet “Hani.” “Hani” is Masanao Hanihara, Japanese ambassador to the United States. What sort of a chap is he? In the first place people call him “Hani.” Which says a lot. He knows more people and has a wider range of friends than any other diplomat here. Thera is nothing of the “inscrutable oriental” about “Hani.” In fact, he puts on less diplomatic dog than the average third secretary of an American legation, and smiles are far more at home on his face than the owlish look so much cultivated by men of his calling. Well Liked “Hani” likes people, and people like him. He knows America, too. Few natives and fewer foreigners know us better, for he has made the United States his special study, hobby, occupation and pastime for pretty nearly a quarter of a century. There isn’t any detail of American life or custom's he's not familiar with, from chewing gum and hair shingles to our pAsion for bananas. It is said of him that he can even work out tram schedules in an American railway folder.

After graduating at Waseda University in Japan “Hani” became a reporter for a couple of years, then went to Amoy. China, and Seoul, Korea, for two years more as a student diplomat. Always Goes Higher He came to Washington first in 1900, when he was 24 years Qld. He was third secretary of legation then, smallish, roly-poly and beaming with smiles. And though he has been called, to other posts for short periods —he Was consul general in San Francisco for two years—he has always come back here to a higher position than the one he left. He succeeded Baron Shielmra as ambassador after the Washington conference. There is no more important diplomatic post in the world' than Washington, and for Japan it is the most difficult as well as the most important. That's why he was sent here. ‘‘Ham” knows the ropes. He knows! Congress. He's watched its antics’ from the gallery for years. If anybody blundered in the wording of letters sent to Congress bearing on Japanese immigration, it is hard to believe it was “Hani.” It seems, though, that somebody has blundered and -diplomacy must have its goat. "Hani” rhymes with “nanny” and that makes it easy. Too bad. too. Tokio can’t pick a friendlier, better-liked man.
