GREAT REIIIIRI] IN MAKING CITIZENS Public Utllltles Companies (Get Honors fn Americanization Work [ Chicago, March 2.—As a result of Americanization work among em- ployes of the six public utility com- panies under the direction of SBamuel Insull of this city, 99,79 per cent of the employes of these companies are either American citiezns of have sig- nified thelr intentlon of becoming such by taking out naturalization pa- pers, according to the report of the Jjoint committee on -Americanization of the companies which has just com- pleted a survey. Record is Unique This record is regarded as unique among the industries of the country when At is considered that these pub- lle service companies have a total of 24,214 employes and their operations extand over fifteen states and all classes of workmen are employed This result was brought about by intensive Americanization effort cov- ering a period of eighteen months among the employes of the People's Gas Light & Coke Co.,, the Common- wealth Co.,, Chicago Elevated Rail- roads, Chicago, North Shore and Mil- waukee Railroad, Middle West Utili- ties Co.,, and the Public Service Co. of Northern Illinois. 22,270 Citizens The report just made to Mr. Insull by the committee shows that on January 1, 22,270 or 91.97 per cent of the employes of the six companies | Were American citiezns. Those who. were in possession of their first papers and who will gain the full rights of citizenship within the next few months, nurmbered 1,893, or 7.82 per cent. Only 61, or 21-100 of 1 per cent, were not citizens or had not taken out first papers. Some of those who had not yet declared their intentions of becoming citizens expected to do so within a few weeks. The People’'s Gas Light & Coke Co,, of Chicago, which was the first of the Insull companies to take up the mat- ter of citizenship, received first honors in Americanization work, every one ot its employes being either a citizen or in possession of first naturalization papers, The other companies under Mr. In- sull's management, operating in Chi- cago, have a citizenship record almost as perfect., Only two employes of the Chicago Elevated Railroads were not full-fledged voters of were without their first papers on the first of the| vears, and they were planning to take the first step toward becoming citizens in the near future. % Difficult Situations The most difficult of the situations encountered in 'this Americanization program fell to the lot of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad. x’orkr_nen employed by that company erg_ull aliens. Ailtogether, 15 na. Rionalities were represented, with Groatians and Italians prodominating. The first step was orders from Brit« ton 1. Budd, president of ¢he com- pany, discontinuing the practice of keeping labor in boarding camps maintained by contractors, and the establishment of a system of company camps constructed and maintained to attract the better class of men and keep them contented, the company announced. The commissary was im- proved, baths were provided, close at- tention given to clealiness about the camp, and finally a Y. M. C.

Scarab Tells Tale All this is revealed in an age-worn, chipped little plece of stone—the marriage scarab of Amenhotep— which has lain 20 years practically unnoticed in a glass case in the Uni- versity of California Anthropological Museum. And this is the story as the hiero- glyphics tell it to Prof. H. F. Lutz, Egyptologist at the university, and as Prof. Lutz tells it to you: “The scarab proves there was one pharaoh to whom love was greater than throne or power. ¥To understand Tutankhamen one must know the story of his father, Amenhotep, and of Tii, lady-in-wait- ing, whom he made queen. “We who gossip over the fence about the latest newspaper scandal can but slightly imagine the back storm that broke over Egypt when it | became known the pharaoh was to wed his mother's maid—that spelled calamity. Broadcasts News ‘“Yet this scarab shows Amenhotep did just that and, what is more im- portant, he made no effort to hide it. He snapped his fingers at tradition and broadcasted these scarab notices that he was to wed a mere servant. “Until this love rebellion the people had considered the royal pair to be divine. Now they were disillusioned. “Their faith crumpled. Here was one of their own kind as queen; a creature of common clay. It did not augur well for those that were to fol- low. — recreations. After a further study of the situa- tion it was decided that a systematic course of education should be estab- lished to assist these foreign born em- ployes in becoming citizens. The first survey showed over 30 per cent of them could not speak English; 75 per cent could not read it, and 25 per cent could not read or write their own language. Instructor The company engaged an enced instryctor to direct the work and he was assisted by men in the organization. Schools were fitted up in buildings belonging to the company at various locations along the line Classes were held on specified eves nings. The first step was instruction in English. Later English was supple- mented with simple courses of study in grammar, arithmetic and govern- ment, ' After several months of this inten- sive educational work a certain day was set as “first paper day,” upon e e e s experi- 1. ON ADVERTISING I 2. I believe in advertising and regret that some very nice people don’t. I believe in advemsmg the benefits of good denistry in every possible way. I believe that if more people had their teeth properly cared for, we would have less sickness and everywhere. Anything better health will make better people. Nobody knows anything until he is told. For years I have people about their teeth make them last. paid for it. Thousands of people have had their teeth treated in my office, so I have been well rewarded for my work. I also have the fine sat- isfaction of knowing that I have rend- . ered a service well worth what was 1. more health that makes dentistry is been telling Yt ealth. and how to I don’t feel This size of my practice is a guar- antee of the reliability of my dentistry.

In my office I treat hundreds of pa- tients a year. done to give every patient satisfaction. I not only do fine work, but ask moderate prices for it. PROF. H. F. L'LTZ AND (BELOW) THE SCARAB THAT TELLS AMEN- HOTEP'S LOVE STORY. “The result of this mating was Akhenaton, father of the woman Tutankhamen married. Tutankhamen, himself, was not born of Tii but of (fi another wife. “The scarab tells us as fine a story of courageous love as may be found anywhere."” which all foreign employes who had not yet declared their intentions of f§ becoming American citizens could do s0. Arrangements were made to re- ceive the applicants at the courthouse | § in Waukegan, Iil., and Kenosha, Ra- cine and Wilwaukee, Wis. and the day ‘was made a gala occasion. As a result o fthis, the number of employes|§ among the trackmen who were not citizens dropped from 90 per cent to 27 per cent.
