20 DAVIS QUTLINES ALIEN PROBLEMS Secretary, in Address, De- scribes Work Involved in Americanizing Immigrants. Efforts being made to discourage the present tendency of the alien to congregate in centers of large foreign- born population and the work now be- ing carried on by the Department of Labor to weld the vast stream of im- migrants entering the United States every year into the hody politic of the Nation were explained by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, who ad- dressed a luncheon of the regular ses- sion of the District of Columbia Fed- eration of Women's Clubs at the Roosevelt Hotel yesterday. Secretary Davis discussed the ex- tremely highly complicated machinery of the Department of Labor which is dealing with 14,000,000 foreign-born now in the country, which in 1927 was increased by the influx of 258,205 per- sons who filed declarations of intention to become citizeps and more than 240,- 000 who filed application for naturali- 2ation, “about 200,000 of whom became full-fledsed American citizens during the past year,” the Secretary said. He paid high tribute to the many agen- cies which are co-operating in the work to help digest the annual immi- grant body which enters the United States each year. Cling to Old Customs. “The tendency ®f the allen has been to stick by himself,” the Secretary eaid. “He and his family have settled in nelghborhoods where they find peo- ple of the same origin as themselves. The desire is to hang onto the cus: toms and language of the land of their birth. We are striving to get them out into the great stream of American life.” The harmony and working relations between State and Federal and munic- Ipal agencies. which are co-operating in this work. were stressed by Secre- tary Davis, who stated that “their work is far more than to qualify these people for passing citizenship tests They are helping them to become good workers and earners as well as good citizens. They have opened all educational institutions to them as well as high schools, where they may study the regular school subjects.” Legislation Program Explained’ Mrs. William E. Chamberlain, chair- man of the committee on legislation, made public the program which that committee will indorse for the coming year. It calls for: Legislation of flood control, made necessary by the recent deluges in the Southland and in the New England States: certain changes In the parlance of the census report; “adequate and uniform” divorce laws and in regard to the D t of Co- lumbia calls for national represen tion in Congress and for the erection of a sanatorium for tubercular chil- dren and the creation of a Palisade Perk. Mrs. Eva C.

District Bird Approved. ‘The federation reapproved the se- lection of the woodthrush as the bird of the District of Columbia and in- structed Mrs. A.

The educational program of the Americanization School was set forth by Miss M. E. Aiton, principal of the school. Mrs. Virginia White Speel, who pre- sided, introduced as honor guests Mrs. John F.

LONDON, _ November 29.—Two girls from Janesville, Wis, have found a fairy godfather in their grand- uncle, Baron Woolavington, formerly Sir James Buchanan, wealthy distil- ler, who has established a trust fund for them. He was unaware until that two_ granddaughters of _his brother William Buchanan, Miss Catherine and Miss Jane Buchanan, were living in comparative poverty in America. On discovering this, Baron Woolavington invited the girls to Eng- recently 19 [1and as his guests and sent them a check to pay for their passages and to outfit them for the journey. They arrived at their granduncle's fine house in Berkeley Square, Lon- don, about six weeks ago. They were heartily welcomed and the baron, who was born 78 years ago in Canada, supplied them with funds to maintain STRUCTURE OF STEEL BLOWN DOWN, 12 HURT Building Under Construction Col- lapses During Severe Rain, Wind and Electrical Storm, By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 29.—The steel skeleton of a building under construc- tion at Twenty-fourth street and Prairie avenue collapsed during a se- vere rain, wind and electrical storm at dusk yesterday, injuring 12 per- sons serfously, including two women. Two of the number may die. An investigation by commissioner, Christ Paschen, was started. Paschen said he would in- quire why the iron framework was carried as high as four stories and held together only by loose bolts. Riveting should have gone forward |as the building rose, he said. Most of the injured were workmen, who had sought shelter from the storm in a construction shanty. The shanty was crushed by a falling girder. The two women were hurt | when ‘a_girder fell across the auto- mobile in which they were driving by. One workman, fleeing, ran into the path of an automobile and was seri- ously hurt.

When the story became known here and he was asked to confirm it Baron ‘Woolavington modestly refused any praise for his action. “I only did, what any other man would do where the members of his family were concerned,” he told the Daily Express. “I can’t see why I should be given any publicity.
