New York*~Thlrty three minion on

in the 144 yeara alnce It wua proclaim- _
,?<) Uiat all men are horn free and
?*(|uh I , ami yet It waa estimated at the
race Jit nutloual convention on Immi
gration held here that there
shortage of 4,000,000 Immigrant work
era In thl* country, which wa? given
ns one of the chief reasons for t he
high cost of living.
I "Hlatory record* no similar move
ment of population which in .raiddlty
or volume can e(|uul thin, ' siiyn a bul
letin of the National Geographic ao
rloty. "Compared to It the hordes that
Invaded Kurope from Asia, great and
enormous aa they were, were Insig
nificant.
"Of the 38,000,000 who have come
more than 14,000.000 still live aiqoajE
as, and their children and children'*
children are now In good truth bone
of our bone and blood Of pur blood.
Not long ago America crossed the
100,000,000 line in the number of its
dtJiens, and it Is Interesting to note
the composition of that population.
"To begin with, there are 11,000,
000 colored people. Then there are
14,600,000 people of foreign birth
among us. In addition to these there
are 14.000,000 children of foreign born
fathers and mother* and 0,r?00,000
children of foreign born fathers and
native mothers, or vice vers*. WTTen
all these have been deducted from the
100,000,000 only 54.000,000 remain of
full white native ancestry.
Includes Illustrious Citizens.
"Yet the 35,000, OOO American people
who are of foreign stock that Is, for
eign horn or the children of foreign
born parents ? Includes some of the
most Illustrious citizens of our repub
lic. Even the president of the United
States ha> only one unfceator who was
born lb America, and the list Is long
sud notable of statesmen, captains of
industry, leaders of finance, investors,
makers of literature and, progress,
who have strains of blood not more
(ban one generation on this side of the
sea.,
"An examination of ihe statistics of
American immigration shows that since
the foundation Of our government
? ireat Britain has contributed 8,400, 000
of her people and Germany more than
d.000,000. ' Ireland with more than 4,
<00,000 the rest of Great Britain with
a little less than 4,000.000. mid Scandi
navia. with something less than 2.000,
?KX>, have, together w-lt-b (iermany con*
trlbuled more than lialflif the total Im
migration. to our shores wince the be
ginning of the Revolutionary war.
"When wv take the German linmlgru*
tion or the Hulled States between 1770
it fid IN'.Hiand compare It with that from
other countries, a somewhat startling
result, and one usually uninspected. Is
disclosed. Tl*c total arrivals of aliens
in thus. Ill years aggregated Ift.tMH.
mm. of whom more than O.OOO.OOO were
British slid Irish, and 5.1-?~i.OOn were
r.cruuins. which shows that one alien
out of every three arriving in America
during more than a century of our ex
istence in a Herman. Only Greni
Britain shows a greater proportion.
"Since 1 StH? the trend has been very
different. With more than 17.000,000
immigrant arrivals since that date, only
1.0-3,000 have been Germans. If from
this number a proper deduction Is
made fcr those who returned to their
homeland and those who have died
since their arrival. It will be seen that
there lire fewer than a million former
subjects of the kaiser In this country
who have not been here more than '-tl
yesrs. Of more than H.OtlO.OOO people
of German birth snd Immediate ances
try among us' less than a million fail
;o have a background of blrrli or lontc
residence In America behind them.
Iceland 8end? Many.
"It is Interesting to note the other \
foreign elements that have entered in
to the makeup of American population
?Hnce 1770. What a wealth of blood
that wonderful little inland, Ireland,
has given us More Irish have crossed
the seas to become part of us t litis

Vocational Education.
Along with many other cities, New
York learned that a vast majority of
the children who attend public schooia
do not go to college afterward. From
that auggestlon devolojN>d the Idea of
vocational education which la now ac
complishing wonders. Perhaps more
than any other one agent It la helping
to transform In heart and action the
alien life of the metropolis Into pari
and parcel of our body politic. The Im
migrants' children are being fitted for
that economic Independence which
comes with skilled hands Instead of be
ing sent forth from -school with un
trained hands and poorly trained
minds.
"When cue reflects that seven out of
every nine children of school age in
New York are of Immigrant parentage,
a situation Is disclosed thaNtnlfcht be
termed startling, especially when It Is
remembered that the school annyirf so
large (hat If it marched ten abreast In
close formation the front rank wou,ld
be hoarding a North river ferryboat
when the rear guard were crossing the
Schuylkill out of Philadelphia.
"It Is a staggering tnsk which con
fronts the city In Americanizing such
huge numbers of youthful foreigners.
Indeed, did It not happen that New
York Ik so rich ? with assessed values
greater than tliosfc of the next seven
Wtle* tn -America combined? It might
wetl call upon the national government
for aid. Itn t with such wealth It Is
hearing the hur,dcn alone and Is doing '
it admiirnhiy.
'?< hie might write at length about
striking features of (he New York pub
lic schools which stand among all the
agencies for Aiucrlcanlzing Immigrants'
children. How these schools' take
seventy odd tongues and substitute
good 1'ingllsh; how they, not only labor
to fit boys and girls for Intelligent and
useful places In the country's great in
dust rial system, but also to employ- J
inent bureaus bring the trained pupil
and the open job together; how they
provide evory year for the children of
an added population equal to that of
Memphis, Tenn. ? are achievements and
problems worthy of consideration of
Americans everywhere."
Struck Gas at Six Feet;
Drillers Tapped Big Main
Kinking n well In l?*ei'n hollow',
near Pittsburgh. Pa., drillers for
an oil fttul gas company struck
pas at a depth of only six feet.
The flow was estimated at
000,000 cubic feet dully ami the
roar was deafening.
Wonder at the shallow pocket
and the strong pressure was re
moved when It was found that
thn drillers simply had punc
tured a hip pas main.
In staking ofT the location for
the Fern Hollow company well
the engineers blundered, and the
derrick was built xquarely over
the main.

What a lot of argument there used
to be about a woman driving an
automobile
- , * .
TODAY she can "make a
train" or fix a tire as well
as anybody.
As soon as a luxury becomes
a necessity the point of view
changes.
//
Two or three years ago you
would have listened to more
varying opinions about tires
than you could shake a stick
at. f/Iileages, construction,
treads and whatnot.
It's different now. Tire users
are working towards a unani
mous feeling.
You express it one way ?
the man down the street
another. But sifted down it
amounts to this:
That the only way to settle
your tire problem is to get a tire .
v
of known value and stick to it.
///
?- "<3> ' ; ; '/?.
We recornmend and sell
U. S. Tires because their value
is known .
There's no guess about it.
It was the U. S. quality
policy which led to the per
fection of the straight -side
automobile tire, the pneumatic
truck tire ? two of the gteatest
additions to tire value that
have ever been made.
As representatives of the
oldest and largest rubber con
cern in the world, we are in a
position to tpll you something
about tire values. Come in
some day and talk to us*
