ORIENTAL PROBLEN Commissicxer Caminetti dicts Flow of Migration From Western Asia. NEW LEGISLATION NEEDED Washington, Dec 7.—Warning against a threatened migration of the population of western Asia to the United States is contained in the an- nual report of Commissioner General Anthony Caminetti of the immigra- tion service, made public todaf. The war and conditions immediately after its close will stay the stream for a time, but steps to head it off, must be taken before transportation interests begin to cull the hcl(‘]“)\w their busi- ness, the report decla Immigration from the far Orient, too, is a problem still unsolved, the report sets forth. The tems here- tofore devised to deal with it do not promise much improvement and ma- chinery for enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act is not adequate or well adapted, it says. Arrange- ments for the admission of Japanese, it is declared, should be amended to fit_conditions better. “The Chinese exclusion law,” says the report, “should be so modified as to make use of the same admini- strative methods and means as are employed in enforcing the general im- migration law; and the Japanese ar- rangement should be so changed as to eliminate therefrom those excep- tions that have a tendency so to broaden as to reduce materially the efficiency of l||c otherwise fairly satis- factory plan.” Hindu immigration, which would be permitted more freely under a recent supreme court decision, will be taken care of in the Burnett immigration bill pending in congress, Smuggling of Chinese, the report says, has been combatted vigorously with the result that amateur smug- gling has been stamped out to a large degree. Higher prices that Chinese are willing to pay therefore, it is said, has attracted to the business an ex- pert class of criminals who use more scientific methods. A bigger appro- priation is asked to meet the problem. The war situation, the report says, has presented many difficult legal and administrative questions at sea ports and along the Canadian border. The report describes the develop- ment of its employment service and outlines an extension of its policy of co-operation with state and municipal cmployment agencies. Carries Grandchild Miles in Attempt To Evade Officers North Platte, Neb., Dec. 7.—(Spe- cial.)—Fleeing from a court order in an attempt to save her two grand- children from being placed in the Nebraska Children’s home in Omaha, Mrs. Mary Browner, 60 years old, grasped 5-year-old Ralph Miller by the hand and, taking Esther Miller, aged 3 years, on her back, hurried to- ward the county line, hoping to es- cape pursuing officials. It was only after a chase of fifteen miles that Sheriff Salisbury and Chief of Police Jones found the woman and two chil- dren hiding in a farm house and re- turned them to the city. Here they were turned over to Mrs. Quivey, a representative of the children’s home. Mrs. Goldie Miller was given a de- cree of divorce from her husband, John R. Miller, but Judge Grimes gave the two children into the cus- tody of the home. It was to escape this court order that Mrs. Browner attempted to escape from the county Svith the two children.

R. Adams, superintendent | of the Visiting Nurse association, in The Omaha Bee that a baby would| be given away. The baby was a| handsome, healthy youngster only a| week olt. Some of these calls came from out of the city. One was from| a large family of girls who wanted a baby brother. The par..ts came by automobile ready to take the baby home with them, and the mother was reluctant to return without the baby because she knew her girls would be terribly disappointed. The baby has | been placed with a good family in Omaha which has no children and is well able to take care of the child.| They expect to bring him up as their own and do not wish their names made public. Six crib beds within an hour after the good women of Qmaha read their morning paper were offered in re- sponse to the appeal printed in The Bee for a bed for a little consump- tive girl. Mrs. S. S. Caldwell made the first offer and a short time later Mrs. B. A. Waugh called offering a little bed. Arthur F. Mullen, Mr. H. H. Smith, Mrs. Shueneman and Mrs. D. Hogan have all offered cribs. “There's nothing like advertising for what you want,” said Mrs. Adams -vhen notified of the success of her second appeal. She was over- joyed to receive such prompt replies.

SENTIMENT GROWING FAST Quictly and under cover a move- ment is growing among the local Elks looking toward arousing sentiment for a new Elks' building in Omaha. While nothing has been done on this officially, there are many promi- nent members who are thinking of coming out with a campaign in the spring to arousc intercst among the membership in a new building Lodge No. 39, the Omaha lodge, owns the building at present occupied on the cast side-Gt Fifteenth street, between Farnam and Harney. They have outgrown it. It is a four-story brick building and the lodge, for its dining room, lounging room, library and other equipment, is occupying prmlnall\ all of three floors, while Schultz Brothers and McCarthy & Wilson occupy the first floor. Worth Twice as Much. The Elks bought this building about ten years ago for $65,000. To- day it is conservatively cstimated to be worth $150,000 Thus, it is pointed out by some who favpr a new building, that the old onc could be sold for a handsome profit to create a good start toward a new The Elks in almost any other eity the size of Omaha, and in many cities much smaller than Omaha, have tine Elks' buildings. Often these are de- where there is room for a little court or open grass plot, giving them an individuality and character that is al- ways pleasing, insteadof being crowd- ed in between other office buildings and shops as the Omaha Elks' club headquarters are. Even Lincoln has long had a hand- some Elks’ club building, whigh is much more attractive than the Omaha quarters. The Omaha lodge has some 1,700 members. This is a much larger membership than that of many other chapters of the Elks in other cities which have handsome detached build- ings of a distinctive type and imposing architecture, Police Say Stolen Car Deliberately Pushed Into River That the big automobile owned by A. W. Taggart, which was found in the Missouri river near Flarence Mon- day morning, was deliberately run into the river is now the belief of po- lice officials. It has been discovered that the transmission of the machine controll- ing the gears was in “neutral.” Police declare this proves that nobody was in the machine at the time of its plunge into the waters, because it is only when a machine is at rest that a driver shifts his gears into the neutral posi- tion. Neither, they say, would a driver waste time to shift his gears if he found himself careening down a river bank. Such a move would in no way help to check the course of the car. For this reason police have come to the conclusion that the car was taken to the lonely spot on the road and deliberately run into the river, per- haps for spite work.

Dandruff Surely Destroys The Hair Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by .d[ means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't It doesn’'t do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis- solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and threc*or four more applications will complete- ly dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop. and your hair will look and feel a hun- dred times better. You can get liquid aryon at any drug store. It is inex- pensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.—Advertisement. W Safe Home Treatment for Objectionable Hairs (Boudoir Secrets). The electric needle is not required for the removal of hair or fuzz, for with the use of plain delatone the most stubborn growth can be quickly banished. A paste is made with water and a little of the powder, then spread over the hairy surface. In about 2 minutes it is rubbed off and the skin washed. This simple treatment not only removes the hair, but leaves the skin free from blemish. Be sure you get genuine delatone.—Advertisement. DECEMBER 8, 1916.
