, I had jio desire whatever to at
tend the last ; "Rummage Sale." I
explained to my mother that there
was nothing on earth I wanted but
a Passion vine, a big ; dictionary,
and a cocoanut, cake, and nobody
ever brought these things " to 'a
rummage, sale.'ibut to the 'long
list of reasons t why 1 should "go,
she added. "Think of the nice peo
ple you meet." j m ' - :
That did the business. They are
nice people or they would not be
doing the work they are, presiding
over a pile of old duds' when; all
out-of-doors is calling, these won
derful ' days. .And how much
warm.. human sympathy they show
toward the feeble old ladies who
come tottering in, there looking
tor . something warm to wear, or
some .little mother hunting soft
flannels for the baby. They'had
a little fun out of it too, for Mrs.
Henry Meyers 1 almost had her
coat purchased by a patron who
knew, a good thing when he saw
It; Mrs. John McNary almost lost
her own favorite pair of scissors
when. a. .woman . hankered U .pos
sess them as an implemeat'for.use
about the garden, while Mrs T. C.
Smith, .Jr.. was obliged to carry
her beautiful carving set around
all afternoon,' v since , -everybody
wanted them 6 ; goi with the
Thanksgiving turkey. There was
plenty for ..everyone to do and I
saw Mrs. s Frederick Lamport en
gaged in the difficult task of un
tying nine hundred Snots in a red
string which was Imperatively
necessary , to the well being of a

UNCEASING MEETINGS
TAKEN AS GOOD OMEN
Considered That This brdir
bates No Insurmountable '
, Obstacle Exists
' .WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. Abso
lute official silence as to the na
ture of continued conversations
today? between 'Secretary Hughes
and Ambassador Jusserand block
ed every effort to obtain' infor
mation . its to , whether progress
bad been made toward . an agree
ment on 'the scope of the proposed
expert infqulry into Germany's eco
nomic situation as it affects . the
reparations problem. '
I . It 'was said officially, however,
that the ' conversations were con
tinuitfg. j '-
' This statement was regarded in
some quarters as significant Inas-
mucb: aslltndicatedsthat
surmountable ; obstacle ; to recon
ciling ' the 'American and French
viewpoints had as yet developed.
French Side Given J -
The ambassador laid before the
secretary, .detailed , explanations
from Paris as to the French point
of view. f ' " ' H-y
In view of this complete silence
as to what haa occurred, specula
tion as to .how .far. direct conver
sations' between Washington and
Paris had served to clear the way
for an ahderetanding .among the
allies, which would result in ' the
extending , of. a "formal invitation
for American cooperation in the
proposed inquiry, was thrown
back upon analysis of .press
cablegram's from Paris and Lon
don. ; j' , . ': ; ;
'Theset despatches were . viewed;
particularly those ; from . Paris de
scribing j French official circles as
more hopeful of ultimate agree
ment among' the allies as indicat
ing - that distinct progress , had
been 'made.
The impression that an laiir
nduneement foreshadowing a def
inite agreement among; the allies
on the language of -the Invitation
to Washington would come from
Paris : in the -event such an agree--ment
reached was based largely
on a feeling that Premier Poin
care might desire to explain his
position j in his-qwn words.
Washington, Silent
; .Washington officials at no time
have been willing -to discuss the
details of the triangular negotia
tions tat the .extent that the for
eign offices in Paris and London
have been willing to do. Taey
have taken the position' that they
must observe diplomatic conven
tions Involved .in the fact that
technically speaking the. United
States-is not a party to the dis
cussion of the. language in which
it may ibe invited to lend Us aid
in the present crisis. . ,
; , The conversations between Lon
don and Washington in-the. first
instance. and now In progress be
tween Washifl;io& and Pirls .are
supplementsry to ; the direct :and
formal nesrotlations among the al
lied governments themselves.
However, great may be the prac
tical effect pf these conversations
toward j bringing , about an agree
ment am oug the allies, officials
feel that they cannot make any
disclosures . ; but . must confine
themseles to , satlng the .'Ameri
can attitude on "points that may
arise in the .negotiations .abroad.
In the Washington viewpoint
the present .negotiations ,4ith
.Paris ' ire in substance a" further
effort to extend American help to
the European powers in an ' ad
raittediy difficult position. They
are de5gned.It is obvious, tohelp

Veterans of Foreign : ; Wars
Listen to Patriotic Ad
dress By Congressman
Elton Watkins
SUGGESTIONS MADE
FOR LEGISLATION
Sever Sees Danger From
Foreign Element in Bord
ers of Nation
; "Immigration Is an economic
and not a political problem and
is the paramount issue today," de
clared Elton Watkins, member of
congress from the third Oregon
district.' in speaking at the armory
last night upon the question of
immigration under the auspices of
the Veterans of Foreign , wars.
"Keep out those who, by their own
conduct, have proven - themselves
unfit for citizenship. They have
made their ' beds ' and we simply
point this out to them."'
As a remedy to the situation
Mr. Watkins urged the naturaliza
tion record as a basis, placing ad
mittance percentage upon the na
tion whose, peoples had seen fit to
become naturalized
Immigrant Tlde Shifts - -
"About 1880 the tide of immi
gration shifted, from these of the
Nordic blood to those from south
ern Europe. , Place every nation
upon an equal basis beginning at
this time, and then admit about
8 per cent of the peoples natural
ized from each country. Approx
imately ,90 per cent of the Nords
become naturalized while only 10
r cent of the Bulgarians become
Citizens. Applying this principle
we would admit on, a basis of
100.000. immigrants 8 per cent of
90.00Q Nords and 3 per cent of
1 0.0 Q0 Bulgarians.
"Another method that I believe
would prove effective and would
also bring the desirable element
to this country would be a system
of investigation abroadJ If a cit
izen of a foreign country desires
to- come to the -United; States let
him go to the American consul
and fill out a personal question
a ire and deposit a sum of money
to be used in investigating his
history in his own locality. It he
knows ?. he is not desirable, the
Chances are that he will not apply
(or admittance. It makes no dif
ference what other nations think
or want. This is our country and
It is our privilege and ; right to
conduct our own affairs as we
desire. : - -v. '.i -.
Competition Impossible
' That between 58 and 75 per
cent of persons employed in the
basic industries ot the industrial
centers in the east are foreign
born was a statement made by the
speaker. Over 50 per cent of the
people of the New England states
and 66 per cent each in Jew York
Citv and Chicago are of foreign
birth, he said. A survey made ot
Oregon institutions several years
ago showed that 20 er cent of the
Inmates of penal institutions and
40 per cent of inmates of the in
sane asylums were of foreign ex
traction.. This reaches as high
as 75 per cent in some states, Mr.
Watkins declared. Competition
with this class of people. oIng
to their low standards 6f "liring
and environment, was' held impos
sible. ' V: ".';' ' "V" ;.s .
i "Industrial centers swing elec
tions and the foreign : born man
holds the destiny of the country
In the hollow of, hihs hand," Mr.
Watkins declared in closing. It
.is Impossible to obtain legislation
Without compromise and .pressure
must be brought upon congress to
obtain legislation regulating ; im
migration. This can be brought
about through such organizations
as the Veterans of Foreign Wars
and the American Legion-' Insist
that the foreign born feel from the
time of his landing inthfa couii
try ' until he la placed beneath the
soil that he! must be an American
in every sense of tlie word."" ,
