No sir, It will be a “constructive re- strictive” measure. Maybe everything is all right. : Maybe the new bill will not let in millions of aliens to smash the labor market. : Maybe Japs and Chinese will be kept out of the country, Maybe a “constructive restrictive” measure means just what it says, But— ‘ The American Legion and the other folks of the North- west are not going to sleep while the immigration fire is smouldering. , f We know that the unscrupulous employers of the East want the bars torn asunder so that the incoming swarm will smash wages down. We know there is NO shortage ef labor now, but on the contrary thousands, of men are without jobs. ae The folks have their eyes on you, Congressman Johnson, You have always been FOR keeping the alien mobs out. We hope you still feel that way. But we are taking nothing for granted! That's why we are watching you. The buffalo supplants the dove and the olive branch as 5 “Let us lave peace!

Their personal fortunes are “anequal to the strain. A great deal will be written concerning these home- ‘comings intended to make us blush with shame becaus we do not make the same provision for our ambassadors abroad that other nations make. The agitation for ap- propriations to build handsome emba “in keeping with America’s importance as a nation” will be renewed. Before we start blushing, let’s consider just what an j ambassador's job is. It is not what it used to be. The ‘ambassador no longer has full powers to act for the peo- iple of this country. He is on the end of a cable and ‘can be told what to do from hour to hhour by his boss, ' the secretary of state, or by the president. In the day of slow-sailing ships and stage coaches, the ambassador was out of touch with the home government for many ‘Months at a time. He sometimes had to act on his own “initiative and to assume full power to speak for his People. ; * “Then government Was largely 4 matter of court in- /trigue. The favor of a fair woman might determine _ whether 2 whole nation should eat. So ambassadors, "mostly personal representatives of their kings, had to play _,the social game. The tradition that this is an ambass: ) dor’s job will be a long time dying out. Die it must. Nowadays diplomatic contact is not with’ kings and nobles at costly dinners, breakfasts, lunches, teas. Liloyd George, who ran the government of Great Britain for so many years, was a modest lawyer before he won political Son of a Welsh shoemaker, he had no taste for tea parties. Ebert, president of Germany, was a harness maker before he entered politics. Clemenceau, _ Who ruled France, wasted few minutes on the social /amenities, and dressed, when he had his own way, like ‘a prosperous peasant. Mussolini, only a few years ago, _ Was a poverty-stricken editor. ‘ Our ambassadors ought to be able to tell these foreign | statesmen of such humble origin and taste where America § ay on public matters without the expense of departed 5 ' ' ' * ’ social glories.

Union Gaso- line does not. And that distinction may largely determine the efficiency of the motor that you drive. Detonating gasolines explode instan- taneously. Crashing against the piston, they depend upon the single impulse for the complete piston stroke. They limit the compression because of their tendency to explode prematurely, resulting in less power and efficiency. Detonating is a cause of “knocking” — you've noticed it on hills. Also, those crashing impulses cause vibration, which means wear and tear. The Powerful | Thrust Union Gasoline is non-deto- nating. Its explosion is pro- longed. It thrusts the piston, does not crash against it. It causes sustained impulse, exerting power to the full length of the stroke. . Authorities agree that it permits in- creased compression because compression is limited by the tendency of gasoline to detonate. New Speed - So with Union Non-Detonating Gaso- line your car gains new liveliness. You notice a new “‘lift’’ on hills, a snappier pickup, more power and less vibration at all speeds—less wear and tear. And this increased efficiency means more mileage, too. Union Non-Detonating Gasoline is the product of progressive refining methods. \ Itsquality is governed by exhaustive tests. » The research of able chemists, equipped with the finest apparatus for studying refining methods, is constantly devoted to its improvement. pe Union Oil Company
