Field Nurt-e. ~X British Motor Expedition Driving Buicks Nearing London After Trip From Pekin Over Continent FLINT, Mich.. Ju e 16—The Bri- t : sh mot:r expedition which left Pek- n la"t summer in two Buick cars, vith Lc'ndcn as its destination, is -ow on the last leg of its long jour ney, accoid ng to word reciived f om. the travelers. They have traversed lion, Harry E. Hull, in an address before the American Legion, at Cart eret, New Jersey. He reminded his audience of the menace that con fronted the nation at the time of the World War because of the vas L u - assimilated hordes that had crowded into our cities and industrial com munities from nations that were then hostile belligerents. “Our future as a nation,” he raid, “rests upon this zeal—the zeal and determination that the America of the coming century shall reflect a c’tizenship, the like o" which the > world has never known. Tha Ameri canization of Americans is the great task for us to fulfill, to reforge our civilization, and td make our Gov ernment a government for all the citizens of the Republic. “Indeed, our future citizenship must be nurtured and preserved. This means that to it there must be added only the higher type of the foreign newcomer—those whose background is not unlike our own, and who, af ter they have become permanent and naturalized citizens of the United States, will respect government, up hold the principles of the law, health and civilization for which the Amer- .ca n people have labored so zealous ly in the trying yeai’s which lie be hind us. Our democracy must be made safe for all time.” Upon another occasion Mr. Hull said: “Even n the face of the precau- ions which our immigration laws •'ave taken, it would appear that we •.hall need to take even more i n tho future yearn. It is estimated that even now there arc as many as 3,- 000,000 aliens m the United States who came here through illegal means. . . . “Stowaways, deserting seamen, and these who are smuggled in or who manage to creep across the bcrdei's uninspected, comprise a large part of each year’s group which has no right to be in the country, and thus point to the need of added financial assist ance to the Bui'eau in an effort to limit the alien classes to the 161,500 .allowed by law. •‘This great mass of ineligibles is indeed a menace to the nation. Being •acornpete; t to become citizens and aeing a charge upon the country’s resources, whether at large or avvait- ng depertat cn. they are a distinct ab lity to our money and our citi- .enship and should be reduced to a nrrnimum within the next few years. ••Our whole structure as a great aticnal commonwealth rests upon •he uninterrupted cont nuation of all ihc standards social, economic, and x Ltical, which have brought us for- .va:d from our first strike for inde pendence. “With a great national love fer all countries and the alien emissar.es vhich they would send to our shores, we must yet cling to self-preserJa- tion with sufficient zeal to see that our national customs and traditions are r.ot injured; thus our educational and health programs are not men aced by masses who are inherently J§ We have just received a car load || of government tested Calcium Arsen- ate in new drums which we are selling 41 j this week only at 7 cents per pound.

NORMA SHEARER IN AFTER MIDNIGHT 99 (By S. W. Sttfaus, President Ameri can Society For Thrift.) Andrew Carnegie., one of the their trail-breaking world’s greatest exemplars of thrift, French I ndo " ( was once asked which he considered China a part of Siam, down the Malay Peninsula, and thrcpgh led a, Baluchistan, and Persia was the : tiffest part of the ti’ip.

The expedition is now! ioir.twhere between Constantirople i the most important, earning, saving or spending. He replied by asking which of the throe legs cf a stool was the most necessary. It would be well if this under- rtand ; ng cf thrift were wide spread. The three factors in the process of acquiring and using money are inter dependent and it is false doctrine to over-emphasize saving. We sco examples every day wh : ch Mr. aafi Mrs. R. N.

WITH LAWRENCE GRAY, GWEN LEE NOTICE!—This will end all Monday and Tuesday shows un til later. So see this one! ur.wive use otf savings is row said to be greater than the annual growth in nat'oral savings deposits. j With the vast majority of people, the accumulatioss of savings is a slow process requiring great pati ence ar.d persistence. The margin between income and the necessities of life is ;:ct wide. Hence it is all the more unfo: ur.atc that greater attention is not given to the prob- i Icms involved in the proper use of savings. The trouble very largely lie-, in the fact -that people do rot give r.uT- f cien' study to these problems. In cidents are not uncommon where persoi s have parted with the savings j of years on the representations cf i total strangers. Every saved dollar represent:, hard work and great patience. Just as much thought and care should be used in administering it as in acquiring and saving it. If this rule were appl’ed by every one, there would be a tremendous elim ination of lost or wagled-money.: It is the pail of good thrift to be as careful in letting go of your dol lars as you were in getting hold of them. tX* : .
