An effective bar has been raised against the immigrants from those countries whose presence is least, desired in a republic in which an intelligent populace exercises the right of suffrage. Statistics show that the following countries exhausted their quotas: Italy, Poland, '.Belgium, Hungary, Jugo-Slavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Persia, Turkey, Syria, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Czecho Slovakia and- Roumania. In contrast with these countries are the northern and western European countries which lack 50 per cent of exhausting their quotas. The present immigration law limits the ad
missions of aliens in a year to 3
number of foreign-born persons of such nationalities who resided in this country in 1910. Under the act, 77,000 immigrants from Eng
O THOU, WHOE'ER THOU ART By George Matthew Adams.
I saw jou on a rainbow one day, your thoughts dancing like the shifting colors of an Australian opal now in simple sweetness, as the echo of a chord from the string of a harp touched by some loved hand, now in beautiful fragrance among the day dreams of a garden of flowers. One morning. I walked out into the air intoxicated by a rising sun and saw you waiting and watching in the heart of a drop of dew. At another time, I sat for a rest on a log at the bend of a fence for I was tired from the sweat of the field and there in the tree, from the throat of a songster I beard you pour out your love music that only the winds of the wild may waft. And as I awoke in my tent on the shores of a lovely lake, I heard you repeating a prayer that came to me thru the rustle of the green dressed pines. Across the breasts of modest pansies, from the throats of lilies, intermixed with the gold of the buttercup, as the playmate of the blue-bell, buried in the gray mists that rise from the earth and bathe the bodies of the reaching hills and mountains, running in streams, dismembering and becoming the very ether thru which all the worlds and stars are made to move as travelers O Thou, whoe'er Thou art, I wed my heart to you! I see you in smiles. I know you in storms. I feel you in love. I know that you are around to direct when work is to be. done. ' I heard you In the laughter of a child! O Thou, whoe'er Thou art, take this hand of mine, this thinking brain, this throbbing heart, this hidden soul, and make each a happy, willing, ready servant to go, to do. to become, everything and all that you have planned and wished for them. . ' Refine, fashion all that I am, or am capable of being, O Thou, whoe'er Thou art.

THE
land could have been admitted, but only 40,000 applied. The Scandinavian countries could have sent 40,000, but only 20,000 entered. The change in the source of immigrants shows that 85 per cent of the arrivals 25 years ago came from Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Scandinavian, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, whereas at the outbreak of the World war only 15 per cent came from these countries. General improvement in the social and industrial condition of theinhabitants of these countries accounts for the diminution of immigrants. After the war, the condition of persons in southern, southeastern Europe and Russia was so miserable that millions of them would have entered this country had there not been an effective check. If these immigrants could have been induced to settle in the agricultural districts to help develop the country, especially in the West and Northwest, there might have been an excuse for admitting them, but experience has shown that most of them preferred to colonize in the industrial centers and in the big cities, accentuating the problem of Americanizing them and welding them effectively into our national body so that they would have lost their interest in their native countries and become loyal citizens. The law so far has worked to advantage in

Crisis in Air
Post Office Asks Extra $1,000,000 for 1923 to Experiment in Night Flying.
By FREDERICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 25. The air mail service has reached a crisis in the development. The postoffice department has asked congress to appropriate an etra $1,000,000 for it this year with which to experiment with night flying. The budget bureau disallowed this item in submitting the appropriation estimates to congress. The position is now taken by the postoffice authorities that unless the million is granted and the air mail service allowed to go on with its development it would be better to drop the whole thing on the plea that it is a plaything and not a utility. Either go ahead or quit, is the attitude of the postoffice. If the airplane mail service is abandoned that may be the end of the development of commercial flying in this country. The paradoxical thing is that the postoffice has succeeded with the air transportation of mail to a degree that even the aviation enthusiasts scarcely believed possible as recently as the year 1918. In the spring of that year the postoffice started out to demonstrate by actual test whether it was feasible to attempt to carry mail by airplane. The answer to the question may be read in the performance records of the present year 1,538,000 miles traveled by planes carrying mail, nearly 50,0fD,000 letters carried with a total weight of nearly 1,225,000 pounds, and not a fatality. It has operated with an efficiency record of approximately 95 percent. For 10 consecutive week3 last summer every scheduled trip was started and finished on time. A record like this makes the American air mail service unquestionably the best in the world, and indeed it is so acknowledged to be. The experiment has shown triumphantly that mail can be transported safely through the air. But the same experiment has also shown that airplanes as at present operated, namely, in daylight only, cannot compete with trains as mail carriers as a practical business proposition. Twice as Fast as Mail Trains The airplane, even heavily loaded, and allowing for the time it takes to transport the mail between the postoffices and the landing fields, which necessarily are located on the outskirts of cities, and not adjacent to postoffices, as are the railway stations, is twice as fast as the mail train. But the train has this great advantage it oan keep up its 45 miles an hour for 24 hours a day, whereas the plane is limited to the daylight hours. The train therefore makes up, or nearly makes up, in running time what it loses by speed. Air mail, if it is to be a ' commercial success, must be able to command a much higher rate of postage than train mail. As planes must now be operated, they do not give a service of such superiority that business men will pay for it at a com mensurate rate. When the air mail service first start ed, the postoffice put planes on several runs between cities no great dis tance from each other. The service between Washington and New York may serve as an illustration why such runs were not practicable. It is 225 miles between these two cities. A mail train makes the distance in five hours; a plane can fly it in two. But allow ing for the time it took to get the mail to and from the landing fields, three HAS HE FOUND A CURE FOR ASTHMA? Simple Prescription Gives Instant Relief. Makes Breathing Easy. In new England, where 'Rrnnriiial Asthma, Bronchitis and other diseases o fthe throat and lungs are so prevalent, remarkably successful results are being reported following- the use of a new form of treatment knows at Oxidaze, a physician's prescription. Oxidaze is a harmless but powerful combination of curative essential oils concentrated and compressed into a small tahle.t One of these tablets slowly dissolved before g-oing to bed seems to have the effect of releasing- the muscular constriction of the air passages and regulating spasmodic lung action. This enables the patient to breathe easily and naturally while lving down and to g-et a comfortable nijrht's sleep. So much interest has been shown that local druggists, including A. G. Luken Drug Co., have secured a small supply and state that they are authorized to refund the money paid for the first package if in any case thfs new treatment fails to give relief. Oxidaze is pleasant to take, contains no harmful, habit forming drugs and is not expensive. This makes their test an easy matter. Advertisement.

That Guiltiest Feeling
Mail Service hours became the air mail schedule between these two cities. It was supposed that the planes would so expedite mail delivery that business houses would willingly pay extra postage for the convenience, and this extra postage would pay for the service. Obviously it had to be a day time service, for after the close of business hours the train, which took a letter for two cents, was just as serv iceable as the airplane. Consequently, the planes had to be started in the morning; and the hour of 10:30 a. m. was found to be the latest at which the planes could be dis patched with a guarantee of delivery of mail that same day in New York. But business mea cannot get to their offices and get-off important mail in time tor it to be taken to the starting field for a 10:30 mail plane. After the novelty wore off. the business fell off. and not even by reducing the postage cost could the service attract business. The business man want3 his letters to travel at night, so that if he gets them off by the close of his business day they can be delivered at their destinations the next day. Ihus the mail planes were found to be impracticable as carriers between cities located within 500 miles of each other, and one by one these short runs were abandoned. But there was a chance to give valuable service on the longer runs. As a result, the postoffice has concentrated exclusively on the New York-San Francisco route, and 24 pianes and 40 pilots are now keeping up this service. Auxiliary to Train Service It is possible that the average citizen believes that on this service mail is loaded on a plane in New York, taken a stage of the journey, transferred to another plane, carried forward again, and in this manner finally delivered in San Francisco. But that is not the way it is done. It is used to forward mail which has already been carried part of the way by trains. For instance, the , morning plane for the west leaves Cleveland at 8 o'clock, carrying mail which left New York by train the evening before. This gets the mail to Chicago in time for delivery that day. And all along the route the planes ap merely aiding to give quicker delijry to train mail. The service is advancing the mail over the whole route from 12 to 24 hours, carrying an average of '480,000 letters a day. This is valuable service, but mail goes this way under the ordinary postal rates, and the air service therefore is operated at a big loss. The future of air mails, Assistant Postmaster General Henderson told' the house appropriation committee recently, lies in night flying, a thing which no nation has yet, taken up. The postal authorities believe night flying is feasible. Already the postoffice has equipped at Chicago a night landins field. Its chief feature is a great air beacon light, raised up 70 feet from A Stubborn Cough Loosens Right Up Thin home-made remrdy in won- ! der (or quii-k results.

The performer takes out a papor, holds it to his forehead snd reads the question without seeing it. Some one admits that it is his question, 60 the performer unfolds the slip and verifies it. This is repeated until all the question have been read. The trick is done with a confederate, who drops in a marked slip containing a question known to the performer. The performer takes out an ordinary slip, but reads the marked one. This is identified by the confederate. The performer then opens the ordinary slip and reads out the message on the confederate's slip. Needless to say, he la taking note of the question on the ordinary slip. On the next slip removed be answers the question on the slip which he has just read. He repeats this until all of the slips have been answered,, the marked slip being saved until the last.

A relay of airplanes, leaving New York in the morning, could reach San Francisco near evening the following day. On this run the night section would lie between Chicago and .Cheyenne, and this is the section which it is proposed to illuminate first. The plan embraces a series of 31 emergency landing fields stationed every 25 miles between the two terminals. These fields will be outlined in lights every night. Connecting the emergency fields will be automatic guide lights about three miles apart. It will cost about $1,000,000 to make this airway, but congress is inclined to grant the money, so confident are the postal authorities that when the installation is complete it will give the country a 32-hour transcontinental mail service.
