IMMIGRATION BILL
GETS WILSONVETO
Literacy Test Makes For His
Disapproval a Second Tims
BIG NAVAL WEASURE READY
Tremendous Total of $351,000,000 Ap- |
propriated by House Committee For |
Construction of Warships.
President Wilson vetoed the iggi-
gration bill passed recently by con-
gress, because of its literacy test pro-
vision. |
It was the second time that Presi- |
dent Wilson had vetoed an immigra-
{ion bill because of the literacy test, |
and for the same reason similar meas-
ures were given vetoes by Presidents
Taft and Cleveland.
The administration’s
defense budget began to take final
shape in congress when the house
passed the fortifications bill, carrying !
a total of more than $51,000,000 for |
coast defenses, and the house naval
committee completed its 1916 naval | but when he came to the words ‘to
appropriation bill with a total of more
than $351,000,000.
The army appropriation bill,
in the house military committee,
which is expected to complete it next |
week. Estimates for the army reach
a total of more than $600,000,000, ex
clusive of numerous deficiency meas-
ures resulting from the border mobili-
zation and the rising cost of war ma-
terials.
The only other military legislation
pending is the universal military train-
ing bill before a senate subcommittee,
which will conclude its hearings this
week, when Major Generals Scott and
Wood are to be recalled for cross-ex-
amination by Senator Blair Lee of
Maryland on their previous statements
that federalization of the national
guard has proved a failure. It is nou
expected that congress will take any
action on the universal training bill
at this session.
The navy bill carries a total of $351,
433,245, as against $313,000,000 last
year. It provides for the construction
of three 42,000-ton battleships at a
total cost of $28,178,592 each; one bat-
tle cruiser at a cost of $26,694,496;
three scout eruisers at $6,746,145
each; fifteen destroyers at $1,748,612
each; one destroyer tender at $2,199:
400, and eighteen 800-ton type subma-
rines at $1,434,093 each. °°
Taking up the problem of getting
under construction the four battle
cruisers authorized last year, the com-
mittee raised the limi® of cost for the
hull and machinery to $19,000,000 from
$16,500,000. Department officials be-
lieve all four vessels can be placed
with private bidders at that figure.
For the three scout cruisers still
awaiting satisfactory bids, the commit-
tee raised the cost for hull and ma-
chinery to $6,000,000 from $5,000,600.
The new battleships will be the
most powerful war vessels ever built.
They will have a speed of twenty-
three knots an hour and carry main
batteries of twelve 16-inch guns each
instead of eight 16-inch guns on the game was enjoyed by Charlestonians. |

CO-OPERATION KEYNOTE

Warning of Keen Business Menace
After War Is Over Heralded at
Pittsburgh - Convention.
Co-operation in all its phases, co-
operation of the government with
American business men for the ex-
tension of foreign trade, co-operation
of America with European countries
by the extension of credits after the
war, was the keynote of speeches by
captains of industry at the. confer-
ences in Pittsburgh which marked
the crystallization of the best thought
of American leaders on the extension
of the overseas commerce of the Unit-
ed States. :
With 6500 of the country’s leading
bankers and industrial corporation
heads as their auditors, James A. Far- |
rell, president of the United States
Steel corporation and the world’s fore-
most authority on foreign trade, Ed-
ward N. Hurley, chairman of the fed-
eral i4rade commission, and John D.
Ryan, president of the Anaconda Cop-
per company, made impassioned pleas
for such preparedness as will enable
the United States to cope with un-
precedented economic conditions
which they predicted will develop at
the ending of the European war.
Ruler of Costa Rica Deposed.
Alfredo Gonzales, deposted president
9f Costa Rica, has sent an appeal to

The Duchess of Westminster has tiz

The duchess was surprised at first,.

TEETH MERDING IN CHILE.
Not an Easy Matter For Foreign Dens,
tists to Practice There.
Not every foreigner who comes along
with the cialin of being a dentist can
practice that profession in Chile. The
governmeut ¢ it that any one
who is to look after the health and
preservation of the teeth of its people
must first demonstrate his qualifica-
tions. ?
The law provides that before a li-
cense may Lé granted a foreigner to
practice dentistry in the country the
applicant must secure permission from
the rector of the University of Chile to
His foreign di-
ploma, duly certified and authenticat-
sees to
! ed, must be attached to the permit, and
a fee of 500 pesos (about $75 in United
States money) must. be deposited for
the license in the office of the secre-
tary of the university. If the applicant
passes the examination successfully the
license is issued, and he is authorized
to open his office for business.
Any applicant who holds a dental
diploma from .a school not known or
recognized by the Chilean authorities
is required to complete the third year’s
work of the dental department of. the
University of Chile and must also pass
a satisfactory examination before he
can obtain a license to practice.—Pan-

Warning Before Command.
In bringing up my children I found
that at night when they were tired
they were spared many tears by being
warned before 1 gave them a strict
command. Instead of saying “Now it
is time to go to bed. Put away your
blocks at once,” I would say: “It is
pearly time to go to bed. Finish your
house first and then put away your
blocks.” In this way the children were
fully prepared to go, and there was
consequently no begging and no temp-
tation for me to show my lack of firm-
ness by being persuaded to allow them
to build “just one more house.”
Imagine a mother in the midst of an
absorbing chapter being told by one in
higher authority to put down her book
at once and go to bed. Would it not
save a frown of impatience to be told
to finish the chapter first?—Harper’s

A Mummy's Doll.
Among the ancient objects exhibited
in the British museum is a doll mors,
than .3,000 years old. When some ar-
haeologists were exploring an ancient
tian royal tomb they came upon
@ sarcophagus containing the mummy
o€ a little princess seven years old.
She was dressed and interred in a
manner befitting her rank, and in her
arms was found little wooden doll.
The inscription gave the name, rank
and age of the littie girl and the date
of her death, but it said nothing about
the quaint little wooden Egyptian doll.
This, however, told its own story. It
was so tightly clasped in the arms of
the mummy that it was evident that
the child had died with her beloved
doll in her arms.
