Is the conclusion of C. V. Collins, superintendent of state prisons, who, in his annual report to the legisla ture, suggests that the federal gov ernment, which permits these alien criminals to land on ltar~ shores, should assume the burden of main talning them till they have served their sentence when they should be deported and never allowed to re turn.

Mr. Van Norden saw two women walking along Fifth avenue. One dropped a pocketbook and Mr. Van Norden politely picked it up and re turned it to her. A hearty slap on the back was the somewhat startling and unconven tional manner In which one of the women signalized her thanks. There was a profusion of thanks and bows and one of the women fainted sud denly on Mr. Van Norden’s shoul der. The woman revived and a few minutes later Mr. Van Norden misv ed the $28,000.

The result is a high grade fertilizer costing the consum er only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims worn-out lands in a marvelous man ner if applied broadcast two months ahead of ammonlated goods.
