less manner about the house while at home or while
away.
Carry no amount of money about at night, beyond
your specific needs, and wear no conspicuous jewelry.
If you observe these simple rules and do not act in
a manner to arouse suspicion or attract attention,
you will be apt to go through life unmolested and your
home will in all probability never be ransacked for
loot or searched for that which the law proscribes.
But as a citizen and taxpayer, you have a right to
assert your opinion. If outlawry on the part of both
civilians and officers is to be stopped and you in your
home and on the streets are to feel safe against stray
bullets carelessly fired by irresponsible people, it
becomes your duty to assert yourself and help to
create a public sentiment against the common posses­
sion and use of the revolver in America and for the
employment of strictly responsible, physically fit and
agile men for law enforcing officials, who will be
able to enforce the laws of the community in a digni­
fied manner and according to the accepted American
code of law and moral conduct.
If you reason that these things are problems which
you are not expected to help solve, you haven’t gained
the proper vision of your citizenship obligations. Here
is where your native intellect and training of thought
is to be utilized for the benefit of your adopted coun­
try. Study these questions. Remedies may be pro­
posed and submitted for a popular vote before you
know it. Unless you take an interest and learn to form
an intelligent opinion you will not count much where
citizens are called upon to defend the institutions in
government and home that will guarantee the future
of America. Your children will be a part of that
America tomorrow which altogether depends on the
part YOU are taking now!
NORWEGIAN INFORMATION BUREAU
/"JWING TO the recent heavy increase in Norwegian
immigration, due to depressed economic condi­
tions in Norway, a Norwegian information bureau will
presently be established' in New York City. The pur­
pose of this institution is to supply primarily new
arrivals, but also others, with information on Ameri­
can economic conditions and find employment for such
new immigrants and others as are unable readily to
obtain work in their respective occupations. Large
numbers of skilled craftsmen, sailors and marine
transport workers are at present coming from Nor­
way, in addition to farmers and agricultural laborers.
Farm workers go as a rule out to the middle western
states where they soon are absorbed on the farms of
their former countrymen. The skilled craftsmen,
however, must in the nature of things find an outlet
for their ability in the cities, and many of this class
remain in New York owing to lack of funds to pro­
ceed farther inland. It is first of all this class of
workers the new bureau will aim to take care of. The
office is primarily intended to be a local labor bureau,
but it will function nationally upon demand, whenever
it finds itself able to furnish suitable workers to in­
dustries in other parts of the country.

MORE WOMEN THAN MEN COME FROM
HUNGARY
THE women of Hungary are emigrating to America
1 in far greater number than the men of that
nation, according to official reports from that coun­
try recently received. It is shown, for example, that
there were 2,426 women and only 1,748 men in the
total number that emigrated during 1922. Among
the juveniles, girls also predominated, there being
708, as compared with 655 boys. A factor tending to
explain this rise in the number of women is that dur­
ing the war and for some time thereafter thousands
of women who would normally have come to America
to join their husbands or fathers were not able to
make the journey. The war-time accumulation of
such travellers, it is said, is now on the move.
Further classification by the Budapest authorities
indicates that of the 5,537 persons who left the coun­
try in 1922, household workers, of various kinds num­
bered 2,918; miners, 873; laborers, 528; agricultural
workers, 467, and students, 444. Most of these emi­
grants originated in the capital district of Budapest
and in the farming districts. Of those who came to
the United States, 1891 settled in New York State,
834 in Ohio, 709 in Pennsylvania, 464 in New Jersey
7
and 431 in Illinois. The same report maintains that
50.5 per cent of all emigrants from Austria departed
from the former Hungarian province of Burgenland.
The number of those who returned to Hungary after
starting life anew in the. United States is called “ut­
terly insignificant.”
A Home in Good Taste
