QUEER KNOWLEDGE OF U. S. IS SHOWN AT NATURALIZATION

Naturalization hearings at the court house Saturday morning revealed the fact that McAdoo 1b vice president of the United States and that we have a "Democrat" form of government. Canadian, English, French and Italian petitioners were heard. Many humorous answers were given to questions asked by Examiner George Mackay. The Italians could not understand English well enough to comprehend the meaning of the questions. When asked how many stripes we had in our flag the answer was "three." The petitioner had in mind the colors. One man did not know who the president of the United States is and another said that his name was "Wilson, but that he did not know what his last name was." Another answered that he had heard of Marshall, but that he did not know who he was. None of them understood the electoral voting system. One man's case was passed because his wife and child are still in Italy. Examiner Mackay stated that these persons must go to night school and learn more about our government. Mr. Mackay said that every effort is being made to Americanize these men and the system ot naturalization is becoming more and more strict. A text book has been issued by the government for use in the schools, particularly in night schools. School boards are expected to co-operate in making foreigners, asking for naturalization papers, Americans before they can take out their papers. Efforts are being made to reach

them through the schools and special j agents. In some large factories the 4 I . - 1 ft . , , I
