Q—In the light of present agitation over the so-called McCarran im
migration act, can yon tell ns what per cent of present population
is foreign born, or of foreign-born parents?
A—Latest figures give 22.5% of present population as either foreign
bom or of foreign-bom parents. Some areas run much higher than
others. In New York City, for instance about 56.3% of die popula
tion are foreign bom or first generation Americans. Of course all
Americans, except the Indians, come from foreign bom parentage.
Q—Did all the delegates at the constitutional convention in Philadel
phia sign the Constitution of the United States? ,
A—No. There were 53 accredited delegates of which only 39 were sign
ers. Three men refused to sign—Elbridge Gerry, George Mason and
Edmund Randolph—while 11 others declined to serve or were ab
sent from the sessions.
Q—What happens to the staff of a member of Cengrepa If he dlee?
A—The secretaries and clerks remain cm the government payroll of
six months after a member dies or resigns. In many cases mem
bers of staffs are kept on by the successor Incumbent
Q—What is meant by “pairing’* in votes in the Ho— and Senate?
A—This is a practice used when two congressmen of opposing parties
who plan to be absent when a vote Is taken, refrain from voting
in person, but permit the announcement of their votes on opposite
sides of a question.' The votes are not counted In the total vote
taken. House rules recognized the practice in 1880, and It ia per
mitted in the senate, though not recognized by the rules.
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
As stated here for the past few
weeks, many memories go back to
our train. It rode that natural
ridge or divide between the rivers
Broad and Saluda. And all the 72
miles from Laurens to Columbia it
hardly needed a trestle except at
each end. At most places it is
right on the divide. Water falling
north of it goes into the Broad
and south of it into the Saluda
River.
That made for easy building and
maintenance. Although during wet
times the track got awful soggy,
for they didn’t have ballast then.
And many a time I’ve seen the
mud and water spatter from under
the tires as the train went along.
Often the engine was so muddy it
needed fenders.
Billy Graham,, the engineer, and
Mr. John McCain, the conductor,
were legendary characters in our
life.
Billy was a friendly' fat man
who waved at everyone, and we
all thought he could make that
whistle moan as no other.
Mr. John was a handsome fel
low, with black moustache. And
he was absolute master of that
train. No one questioned his com
plete authority. And he carried a

r^ESPITI aU the rules and regu-
JL' lations, the "substitute” 'in to
day’s average sports contest is a
guy who usually -plays more than
half the game even though ,lie
doesn’t get in on fee llrst play.
■Rie honor 1 of being a '"•starter”
in something to be desired, of
course, in athletics or in everyday
living. Yet a r lot of excellent start
ers somehow or other always fail
to finish the game with the same
speed and enthusiasm they gen
erated at the start It ain’t right!
I’m going to cite bridge playing
to prove my point, and it'a not so
far-fetched as you think.
Our town broke out in a “rath”
of bridge dubs here a few months
ago. Everywhere you looked, nr
went, someone was forming a new
dub—once a week, twice a month,
or once a month. Pick the one
that suited you.
Despite the little woman’s urg
ing, I refused to commit myself to
playing regularly, whether it meant
once a week, every day, or once/
a year. Too many tilings crop up
from time to time that make pre
committments an inconvenience.
I settled by promising to Sub
stitute” from time to time when
regular .dub members were un
able to be present. What hap
pened? The wife promised practi
cally every dub in town we would
"fill in.”
Too late, I have realized my
folly. The wife and I play more
than folks who joined one or two
dubs when they started. And, I
don’t have much of a comeback
when she reminds, "Now, dear,
you promised you would substitute
remember?”
It does get confusing, tho, who
we have to decide which of tv
substitutions we wish to ms 1

Sports Afield
(By TED NESTING)
If you spend much time at all
with small boats you will, sooner
or later, as surely as taxes, fall
overboard. The wise sportsman
will be prepared for it.
There are many ways to great
ly reduce your chances of joining
the ranks of unwilling bathers.
First of all, paint your decks. Var
nish may give your ship that
svelte look, but it has no place
underfoot. There are a number of
so-called nonskid paints on the
market and all of them are use
ful.
Some commercial men throw
sahd on the wet paint. This is
excellent, if you don’t mind wear
ing through your clothes and sur
rendering vast areas of skin in
the event of a spill. •
The best footwear is hobnail
boots. Unfortunately, most cap
tains take a dim view of these.
Rubber soles are the next best
thing. Boots in winter and sneak
ers in the summer. Again, there
are the nonskid varieties. Zack'
Taylor, whose article on boating
safety appeared recently in Sports
Afield magazine, says that he pre
fers bare rubber worn smooth.
But don’t forget that water is a
natural lubricant of rubber.
There is nothing that beats the
timeworn sea adage, “One hand
for you and one hand for the
ship.” This is a primary rule. But
the grab rails of many boats are
deplorable. Tiny varnished wood
splinters or slim chromium strips
are pretty, but they are too mea
ger to hang your life on.
Even worse, you often find
great stretches unprotected where
you have to leave one rail and
lunge desparately for the next
The commercial men use inch
pipe—a welcome fistful and every
foot of it is braced.
Going overboard is a breath-
was loud and mouthy. Mr. John
put him out of there twice. The
third time, he waved his lantern
out and stopped the train. He took^
that drunk by the nap of the neck,
gave him the bum’s rush to the
back door. ^Turned him to the side,
and gave him one resounding kick
in the seat of the pants as he was
leaving for a lunge Into the briers
there by the side of the tfack.
Law suit? We never heard of
such a thing for that Rather -a
medal would have been pinned on
Mr. John’s blue coat.

taking experience and in cold
water your strength will be sap
ped with incredible speed. Add
to these factors the immense
fright that will grip the bravest
mtm alone in the sea and the
power of endurance is reduced
easily by half.
A seasoned guard has said that
he would hardly venture over his
depth alone. “But give me a life
ring, or a plank, and I’ll leave for
England.” A life ring within reach
is as important as gas in the tank.
And it is the wise man who insists
on life jackets for those who can
not swim and who will don one
himself.
