Twenty -*vol Per Cent. of Attlee-t'dt People "Undesirables"—Prof. East Would Bar . LIll But the ?Best Immlgrants. Twenty -live per cent. of the Amer- ican people are "undesirable•e," in that they are unfit to deal wife' lite conditions; of modern life. So staters Prof, William East, speaking en lire "Biology of the Immigretinn Quem' tion, before the population r, ease table at the Institute of Polities In Williamstown, Mass., says the Tor- onto Telegram. In this connection crinis hay. g n road a "Decalogue ov fniniU ration," giving ten arguments for the restric- tion of immigration by the United States, Only recently Prot, East aroused the Ire of Italians when he criticized Count Antonio Cipplelo's demand for emigration outlets for Italy's sur- . plus population. The Harvard pro: - teaser declared that Italy should cure overcrowding conditions by curbing her birth .rate. Southern Italy, with its large families, was the offending portion of that country, and had been sending the "dregs" of Its population to Uncle Sem its recent years. The decalogue of Prof, East Is as follows: 1, Emigration forced as an eco- nomic necessity by population dens- ity affords ens-ityaffords no permau.eut relief to the homeland, because the t4tsuiner birth release re-establishes the old equili- brium. 2. Conditions in the United Slates are to -clay, and will cnntinne to les. - such that newcomers will meet In- .creasingly bitter competition whlel Innst be accepted under ual e filar conditions and often with a illi tris:,e handicap• 3. Inmrigrants who come wire a lower standard of living tend to reduce American stetnderd',; 4.

Thus the head stenographer of Merle & Co., a city mercantile house of ex- tensive business prestige and narrow views as to the rights of their em- ployees. - "Straiueft:t, crime an indignant oho- res. • "And no pity for the week spent away." A rising Storm of protest was speed- ily repressed as the manager' of the establishment chine into the room. There was one exception to the general group—Arline Drury. The others sat with an angry luster of eye. Her bands strayed from her typewriter, nerveless, an expression of infinite die- ' appointment crossed het' features. Arline had lost her mother a year pervious and bad been cast utterly on her own resources. She was not an expert typist and had not acquired even the fundamentals of stenography, Her position, a poor -paying one, had been thrust upon her almost grudging- ly, and became a work of such drudg- ery thnt she was too tired eve- nings to attempt to perfect her- self in taking dictation, To the usual vacation with a fort night's extrit pay Ariine hod looked forward with glad anticipation. She had snapped out a stay at some cheap, , but respectable snorer resort. It seemed to her that alone by herself, mind and body at ease, she could think over pres- ent and future In a clear, coherent way. The double anouncement had upset alt her plans. The circumscribed ; term of leisure seemed scarcely worth caring for. The withdrawal of salary during the period meant deprivation. , She had saved less than 520. When she got home that night Arline count- ed over her little fund and viewed the prospect dolorously._ She had se- leeted a resort, the five hours' ride to which would be qulte a. novel enjoy - trent. She retrnversed the advertise- ments of places nearer the city. Fern- dale—the fare thither was low—if she event on a vacation at ant that must be the limit of fare expenditure. l It was just before noon on Monday that Arline arrived at Ferndale. She found only a lonely station with a gem eral store opposite. She was informed that the real town was two miles die- tint on the lake, comprising a taste tunable hotel and the homes of rich 'people. There were no modest houses where one 'could expect moderate board and lodging, and the hotel was. a 54 a day house. Arline sat down on a bench outside the little depot, glooined and almost homesick, contemplating the necessity of returning to the city. She noticed 'only casually that an automobile had driven up containing a chauffeur aao a matronly looking woman, The tat, ter alighted as she caught sight of Ar• aline and carne straight up to her. "You are Bliss Eve White?" she said half interrogatively. "We have been here daily since Monday expecting you, ' but feared you had found some other appointment. Mrs. Elston needs the care of n nurse greetlty and she will I Indeed welcome you, John, will you take the lady's Suitcase?" and almost before she was aware of 1t Arline found herself In the elite with the good-natured housekeeper of ono of the. show plaices on the lake, telling her enough to know that n fell p id p osl tion was Open to this Miss Eva White. who had not appeared "And why not?" whispered, Arline te. herself, - "If she does not come, what wrong Nilotic by my having a free va- cation and one us°ful and helpful us well," and both hopeful and tempted Arline Drury lent herself to e tleoep tion that was favored by the non•up• 1 pearaiice Me the real nurse that day— end never.

Two weeks went by, a'month. All thoughts of returning to the city were abandoned by Aritae. Harold cams to visit his mother twice a week, and he could not help but feel attracted to- ward the bright, intelligent companion of his mother, to whom she was as at- tentive and thoughtful as au own daughter. Arline defined the dawning of a mutual love, each felled to con - seal from the other, and one day, in tbe lovely garden of white shadows, when he confessed his affection, she bowed her head In humiliation. "I am not Miss, White—" she began; but he interrupted Iter gayly. "Oh, I knew that the first day I inet your" he declared, "for I had received word from the nurse that she could not come. when I found you here, and Try dear mother get rug beet. r each day under your true, 1 only longed to have you remain.

Some surprising things come out of the sea, for it is rich not only in fishes, but in works of art. Remarkable treasures have been dredged from the bed of the Bay of Naples, and only a few months ago a diver sighted a drowned city off the North African coast. Now some poor Greek fishermen at Marathon have raiseda beautiful bronze statue which was lying twenty fathoms un- der the sea. - Experts say it is a charming figure of a boy, eau belongs to the best period ole" Greek art 2,300 years ago. It re-sembles f1 a work of the school Of the great' Praxtteles, and is prac- tically perfect.
