Underlying our law excluding cer-

Japanese from citizenship is, first,
the fear that we cannot compete with
their labor, and-Second, the idea -that

the latter which "nettles the proud,

The Japanese, at first content to
" work as hired hands in the sugar beet
fields, the vineyards and v the tr-
--ehards of California, have reached out
for land of their own, more to estab
lish the equality they seek ihai-. from
any great commercial desire to- pos
sess the land. The fact that they
easily form partnerships among
themselves and thus can secure the
first capital required has helped them
In their aim. The additional fact that
an influential Japanese can camr-ond
an almost unlimited supply of his
fellow countrymen's, labor has given

THE PARCEL , POST. MAXIMUM.
Under the parcel post regulations
no package which" exceeds in combin
ed length and girth 12 inches can be
received for transmission by mail.
The dimensions are-to be decided by
taking as the length the greatest dis
tance in a straight line between the
two ends of the bundle, while the
girth is the actus 1 'measurement" by
a tape encircling the parcel at .its
thickest part. Joseph" Becker of Ar
lington, Va., has Jet or' himself .the
task of finding the 'shape" anddimen
Bions of a package having the largest
possible capacity and yet fulfilling
the requirements of the opstoffice de
partment. In a lbtierUo.the Stientific AmerJ

having a capacity of 2,985,984 cubic
inches, would just be mailable, its
girth being 57.6 inches and its length
14.4. But a package 24 inches in
length by 12 inches in height and 12.ciark, San Francisco; W. Lynch, Chi
