January '. ! ; This is the eloquent manner an eastern writer describes J Miliary: Janus, the ancient deity, for whom this month was ii.'med, is usually pictured as having two faces, and this fact is not without its signification. Kxtremely cold days vie with those of milder temperature now, yet withal, the ice and snow and biting winds are not ut all backward in asserting their authority,-- ,' : Winter is no lonci an 'unfamiliar visitor, but an ac cepted guest whose -stay of some weeks' duration is taken as a matter of course. Too bad that the aristocratic sleigh, the; plebeian bob-sled and especially the merry jingle bells are but a memory. But the boy with the coaster is still with us and to watch him take a hill "belly-buster" fash- ipr)' is good for the eyes and better for the heart. Moreover, the skaters are holding carnivals, so heigh-ho for tho river and the lake, the frolic and the fun and the clever capers cut by' steel-shod boots! ' ' January skies at night time are ripe for the enjoy ment of astronomy with the naked eye. Go out of doors at 9 o'clock on a clear evening and the heavens will re cord you lavishly. Almost directly overhead Capella shines wth a steady white brilliance. Toward tho southwest Taurus, the Bull, with his two celebrated clusters, the Jlyades and the Pleiads coruscates. Of all the star groups none is more famous than the Pleiades, seven in number, which, according to an Indian legend, are as so many lovely Children who once danced themselves into the sky and never came back. Orion, the "Colconda of the heavens," is re splendent in his glory, and the starry river called Eridanus, inay be glimpsed west of Rigel, which glitters like a gem on the giant's left foot. And these are but a few of the diadems that stud the heavens on a January night. ' The woods, are drear and stark for the most part and bear -the marks of battle, '. of ' widowhood and every green tome and other tres not deciduous is at a premium..,, 1,'ho cottontails T arc joyous and niuch in evidence in' the field filohg the roadways. Coveys of quail, while not abundant, nrV flushed occasionally by the chance pedestrian only to disappear in a flutter and fluff of brown and a whir of nuiffled music. Hero and there a Junco, or snowbird, is cheerily hopping about. A lonely and somber crow flaps overhead, icawing, as ho goes a raucous note, and in keep ing with tho wintiiiiess of the January landscape. Still The Land Of Refuge For .three centuries a ceaseless migration has knocked at our eastern portals, a migration of men, and women, avid children, a migration that has put behind oppression and misery and hopelcwness, and turns its face with eyes alight to visions of hard work rewarded by independence, self respect, and opportunity. But never has come to Ellis Island a human cargo' more appealing- to pity than that which mingled despair' and hope now bring racing to our shores. In large measure the immigration of today is an immigration that is upurrcd driven by bleak reality. A necessities IS tilC dominating . , .V European lives today, and lucky indeed is the Jamily Uiali has tho means to find escape. . The future of the newcomer as a citizen must be power fully affected hv the dnmiimf i 1 i,j' i j-,..- , ,. , ui u.-. j:iiivuL-iy uuiuu.-ia uiimes Jiuiy iu ineuicieu jui niUniti.i m-r new. arrival who emues i or the sake of greater freedom '" or dmiai-M. ,,t a,,,,.,.!.!, ,,i i !' i i a ' The compilation shown the orl- 17 Uioiitflit and conscience and lor him who comes to es- KIln, (.sthnaied cost or the twen cape starvation. likewise, the immigrant who"' flees politi-j'y K"t pmjecVs to have been cnl oppression may hecoine a citizen essentially different in outlook from the naturalized alien who comes here from economic choice as distinguished from economic necessity. Unfortunately tho lliniidM te newcomers ot 1'JlM will make is overshadowed for the present by heart-burnings as to how many of them will make citizens at all. Consideration of this aspect of im migration is, however, not so much impelled by the composi tion or characteristics of the new arrivals as by the failure of -'many hundreds of thousands now in this country to avail themselves of iiaturalkatH n. A hopeful view lies in the 'fact that the present press of immigration is most powerful from those lands that have produced the most easily assimilable contributions to the making .of an Amer ican people. 1 .1 1 When he makes a particularly good shot at golf, John D. is aaid to give dimes lo those recklessness of age. .
