Confer* of (the Department of Zoology, Ohio Wesleyan. University GRANTED DIVORCE FRIDAY* JANUARY 18, 1828 A FARM PROBLEM ThaHarria bill, which practically excludes Mexican com­ mon labor from the United State*, ha» been unanimously re­ ported for passage at Wtu&ington. , The common labor supply on farms in the southwestern part o f the United States is a serious problem and Mexican labor which comes in to harvest the seasonal crops and which returns to Mexico when the rush is over, seems to be the prin* oipal source o f supply. It is estimated that 70,0(>0 such laborers are used each year, while under the proposed legislation this number would be cut down to about 1200. , u ,i( It is stated by persons in authority who have dealt with Mexican common labor* that it does not compete with white labor and that biologically and otherwise it is preferable to Philippine,‘‘ Porto Rican and Negro labor, In the sugar beet Reids, in mines and on the railroad section gangs in the semx- arid sections o f the- Southwest no other labor seems able to stand the heat as well as the Mexicans, ‘ ■, ' The problem is a serious one and deserving of the fullest, Investigation and consideration free from prejudice or political prtissue, > . S.H.JU., IU-- " ' * ■ ALWAYS A FLOOD OF COSTLY BILLS OFFERED With every session o f legislature, whether in Ohio or some other state,.there is always a hopper full o f costly bills thrown into the legislative machine and o f course some are finally en­ acted, Two bills that are now receiving a good bit o f publicity are the license for all drivers o f automobiles which would take , from the pockets of auto owners more than two million dollars. Another bill is'known as a rural police measure that provides for not more than 200' men to patrol the roads in Qhip. These men must have salaries o f substantial amounts and the state must invest in motorcycles or automobiles and stand the ex­ pense o f upkeep. We are not saying that either bill should not become a law. The auto driver’s license, law is proposed as a means to curb wreckless driving, on tile part o f irresponsible persons. Also'those who drive while intoxicated. The bill has many good features and is being sponsored by motor clubs and other organizations. The constant drain,on automobile owners seems to be on the increase. Upkeep has made a noticable depression in tfie retail business world. Money goes for anything pertain­ ing to the-motor car while many other lines suffer/ Should this bill become a law'We would Prefer to have tim money received from license fees divided /with the taxing districts on the basis . o f the gasoline tax.' As the bill stands if provides that the .tax collected be used to enforce the law. That means a host of officials in^every county in Ohio. Meanwhile we’ have a law 1 that takes care of the intoxicated driver. We also have one regulating wreckless driving and courts have the power to , penalize the driver and eiripotind the machine. The highway patrol bill also has good features. It'looks best to the politicians and permits a branch o f a politics machine. It is said that states havirig such a law have better - law enforcement. Dry advocate^ think it would aid prohibition enforcement. A survey of three states might throw some light „ on the subject, New York state has such a law and yet the state is listed as wet. Thousands o f loads o f Canadian liquor are hauled over New York.highways to the towns and cities. If the rural police is an effective organization why all this com­ plaint about Canadian liquor coming into that state7 Penney!

The plaintiff was also ordered restored to her former name of Bessie Berry. -“\vqtiM indicate that citizens in that state were having little pro tectien and that evidently that highway police were not in sympathy with prohibition enforcement. , , State and federal officers* contend most o f the Canadian liquor that comes into Ohio comes by way o f Detroit. Michi­ gan has a system o f road patrol afid advocates o f such a mea­ sure usually cite that state as an .example fo r its success. Evi­ dently there is-, no patrol from Detroit to the Ohio line or, . Canadian liquor jjould not be trucked in great quantities for die tributionjn Ohio. Three years ago we had a personal experi­ ence in driving into Michigan. From the Ohio line to Port ,Huron were never once had sight o f the rohd patrolman anc the drive was over an improved highway. We had the same experience in driving across the state from ML Clemans to Benton Harbor over an improved road. We did get first sight o f the state police in Mt. Clemans. where we found six officers and six motcicycles parked in a prominent place in that city,’ . which seemed to be headquarters. In a three day stay in Mt. Clemans we found public opinion greatly divided on the merr o f the highway patrol system. ' Before such a bill is passed in Ohio there should be carefu investigations made. Two hundred men at a salary o f $150 a month means an expense to the state of $30,000 a month with­ out the cost o f upkeep of 200 machines. It makes no difference where the money comes from, it must be raised by some sort of a tax ott the state. Will the expense justify the experiment in view o f what is happening in the states just-mentioned above?

Not twenty feet away in a low shrub is a bulky nest of twigs and weed-stalks, with nany roots and a lining of rootlets, ."t must.have been the home o f the Brown Thrasher, that whistled his varied song from the rip-top of a nearby elm.

So often is this bird perse­ cuted by the renegade Cowbird, that two-story and even three-story nests are not infrequent! the upper stories haying been added to cover the eggs of the feathered parasite.

Their ideas o f luxury and beauty are expanding. They want finer homes* finer furniture, finer automobiles. During the past three years* hundreds o f ^ thousands o f these progressive Americans have been buying the Pontiac Six. Some o f them have bought it as the first car they ever owned. But to most o f them* Pontiac has represented the first big s tep up from the lowest priced field.

This far-sighted step was . taken because Chevrolet engineers knew that the six-cylinder motor is in- herently themost perfect­ ly balanced motor—the ideal power plant to meet the grow ing pub lic de- mand»for greater reserve power, faster get-away and, above all— smooth, q\iiet performance* During the Iast four years, over a'hundred six-cylin­ der motors were built by Chevrolet engineers and tested on the General Motors Proving Ground. Day and night, through winter’s cold and sum­ mer’s heat, the incessant testingwent on—until the present motor was de­ veloped and finally pro­ nounced correct* At the same time other C h e v ro le t en g in ee rs were p erfecting other parts o f the chassis. And another great automotive organization—the Fisher Body Corporation—was devoting its gigantic re­ sources to the creation Of the finest, sturdiest' and most beautiful bodies ever offered on a low-priced automobile. As a result, the Outstand­ ing Chevrolet offers an order o f well-balanced: ex­ cellence—a combination of performance, comfort, beauty and handling ease that is truly remarkable —with a fuel-economy o f better than 20 miles to the gallon o f gasoline.
