C. ' i thus being able to direct t^^^^-hore ! they should go in America for their; own and the country's best good. Speaking of her belief in the need to restrict immigration for five years, Miss Russell said: "Europe is ready to release thousands of immigrants, most of them, undesirable, the moment our restric- j tions are lifted. It is for us to stem J such a destructive tide by iegisiauon which will admit to residence here | only constructive labor. We need farm workers, not lower East Side I denizens, which are the sort most! eager to enter here." i Immigration to this country at the' present time is checked, not by the lack of immigrants or boats but by our present quota laws. Those who see restriction of immigration as a solution to too great a proportion of foreigners in our population consider this as proving the* efficiency of the quota law, whle its opponents say that the restriction is entirely one of quantity. and that the 300.000 per year admitted under the present law are very largely of the wrong kind. HON OR WA S VECLI X EI> BY GENERAL PERSHING, j i Wash iregion .?General Pershing declined today to accept a distinguished service cross voted him j by the army, board,' of awards and J which Secretary Weeks had planned to bestow on him at a "surprise party" arranged to take place in the war- cperefarv's office. The general discovered the secret j of the party and- went immediately j to Mr . Weeks' house,'where the- lat-j .ter was at lunch, to deciare his unde- j servedness of the honor. Secreta:*y! Weeks then decided that the general's wishes should be respected and cancelled. his plans for the party. , General Pershing declined the. award of the metal of honor for the. same . exploit concerned, in today's presentation. This yas an incident occurring when he was a brigadier}1 general in the Phliip|>ine Islands in j 1913. The medal which was to have J been awarded him today was in substitute for the medal of honpr and was .voted by the board in the belief ?.?*v *oo :r? : ? that it. was deserved and probably w.QUld, be accepted even .though the higher award had been firmly . de-r clined Pl . , \ j.* r \ y , General Pershing" explained plater that he declined to accept "tAe award . of ,the distinguished service' crjoss -be. / ?i \ * > : J "? cause ha did not consider his %ctao?

The feat <jan pot be safely? called impossible,; |>ut it; is fairly certain that if any chemist should succeed in transforming.ipto gold some, substance that has hitherto been te.. i *:?S* ' i garded as a simple element, the process would be so difficult and costly as to make the gold far more expen- | . I sive than the natural metal. The sil-^ ver-dollar story is probably based on ! the fact that the silver and copper of which our so-called silver coins are j made do contain exceedingly minute i quantities of gold?quantities too J small to be of any practical importance.

"Tell the company to let it stand j and deduct it from what they will owe ! me whep the house burns down." . I ALASKA'S NEEDS. The "paramount, overshadowing need"' in Alaska is a 'simolil'ivd ant' co-ordinated and centralized system j of administration." says Governoi j Scott C. Ei.me, who is now in Washington in the interests of Alaska. The! present order of things in Alaska i: I chaotic and impossible," Governor j Bone said. "Bureaucratic control has j > >?> ' iv/cil nnd oalsied this rich do-I main, which has actually gone backward for twelve years and today i.? at a standstill. A consolidation of \ the essential bureaus under one department here at Washington, with the Administration brought closer home to Alaska, is a prerequisite to progress and prosperity in Alaska. Ii must be made easier for people and capital to gain a foothold in Alaska. The present system is unworkable, unbusinesslike and positively repressive. ''The late Franklin K. Lane, a> Secretary of the Interior, did his best to correct this system and nut Alaska upon the basis of constructive development. but failed. He indicated red tapeism in Alaska will all the powe* at his command. LABEL BI TTER PACKAGES 15-OZ. NET." Secretary of Agriculture Wallace says that his department had discovered that several large butter packers are putting out short-weight packages, but that there is no law to reach them because of the label "15-oz. net" on the package. The unsus pecting consumer, not deeming . it necessary to scrutinize carefully, hands over the price of a pound. PERSONALS. Mr. P. O. McLain's friends were glad to see him over this way Sunday.

WHEAT IN EoEYATOIlS. i i Stocks of wheat in country mills [ and elevators March 1 are estimated \ at 72.504.000 bushels by the United States Department of Agriculture. | j This is the smallest quantity in tinrecord of reports made to the Department for that date during the past ten years, with the exception of March 1, 1018, when the abnormally low stocks of 66.000.000 bushels lcilowed the small wheat crop of 10 17. Average wheat stocks in country mills and elevators March 1 during the past five years were about 01.000.-j 000. Stocks this year are 20 per | cent less than the five year average. Wheat stocks of this class were as much as 155.000,000,000 bushels in 1916 or 112 per cent more than the 1922 figure. Not.a Jackass Exactly.
