Washington, May 3.(Capita) New: Service).---W. w. Husband, United States Commissioner cf Immigration, says that in sp.te of the fact that il is conceded in Washington that the Dillingham quota law of 1922 bus been an unqualified success, amend ments wil. probably be made in it. One of the -probable changes would raise tile quota of immigrants yearly admitted to 5 per rent, computed not on the census of 1900, hut -on that of 1890, admitt.ng not 155,090, as at pres;nt, from south and east Europe, bat only 50,000; but 400,t00 from the countries of north and west Europe instead of the present 200,039. '•At any time,’ Mr. Husband said, “business men and manufacturers want more labor. I think they run have it. only providing it comes from countries whose citizens readily oe ccme assim.lated here.” The best class of immigrants has come to America this year in its his tory. The British quota is going m be filled, the Swiss and Be gian quotas are already used up. the Swedish wili be in June, the French will perhaps be about 75 per cent used, anil the Dutch quota will b: filled with a new emigration of farmers. In this con nection attention is cubed t 6 234 Nor wegians and Swedes who came over in our ships last week. They showed customs inspectors cash, notes, and etters of credit, totaling about ♦ 1.090- 000. Some rods first-class, mime second, and other steerage. These Scandinavians went through the immigration tests without diffi culty, showing a high level of in telligence The proposed changes in the law wi l, it is said, increase the number of this type of immigrant.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME EY MRS. ROBERT R. COTTON To The North Carolina Federation of Women’) Clubs at Winston-Salem. Winston-Salem. May 2 (By the As sociated Press).—dull women have learned to distinguish between good nnd bad men. "and no doubt will ap ply this wisdom in the use of their citizenship, which will lie good for the public welfare,” Mrs. Robert R. Col ton. honorary president, declared in response to an address of welcom:* tonight ai the convention of tlie North Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs here. "Despite the dire prophecies aliont dub women, they have continued to marry and rock the proverbial cradle," “he asserted. "And, yet by systema tizing their households have gained time to attend dull meetings." In speaking of the twenty-first nnn versary of the federation Mrs. Cotton declared the organization "stands in the limelight of success.” The feder ation. she continued, has developed in all possible directions. "Growth is the law of life," she said, "but material growth is in vain unless spiritual growth lie added to itav "While growing in numbiw? have we grown in spiritual strength? Have we growji in toleration of the weak nesses of our co-workers? Have we grown in breadth of vision and unity of purpose? Ha ve we obeyed Hie ad monition of tlie strong to bear the bur dens of tlie wonk- .Are we brave to meet new the acid test of citizen ship—which is a responsibility not even dreamed of in our early years? "We have stood at all times for the highest and best for our nation, for our state and for tlie individual. We are living in a very different world from the one we knew when this fed eration was formed, inventions, dis coveries. mid human achievements in scientific lines have made miracles al most an every day occurrence. View points have changed, and il is hard to believe that women's clubs, now so universally commended, were once feared ns tlie forerunner of evil-but it was so. ‘‘Now to lie more specific, what lias the North Carolina Federation accom plished ? "Its growth has been slow but steady. It began with seven clubs which soon increased to seventeen. !t now lias 250 women’s dubs, six affili ated organizations and 500 demonstra tion clubs, which combined, make a membership of between forty and fifty thousand women--all working for tlie benfit of Xorth Carolina. “Thus has our sphere of influence widened, bringing with it the respon sibility of co-operation with this large number of women. As we come iii •much with them, let us take as. our aim the unifying of North Caro- Tina'women for mutual benefi t and up lift, for individuals and for the state. "All organizations nre born paupers. Our federation was no exception. For years we were liandiennped by tlie lack of funds, but it taught ns eeon uny and thrift, and our opportunities for service were met with a brave spirit and often personal sacrifice. We continue to find more needs than we can meet, nnd like Oliver Twist, we continually cry for ‘more.’ meaning money. And, somehow, it always comes. “From the l>egtnning this federation was interested in libraries. I have been told that the majority of libra ries in the towns of North Carolina were started in some woman’s chili and later given to the towns.- This federation started the traveling li brary movement in this state, and finally gave all its traveling cases to the library commission, which it had been largely interested in having cre ated. “At the fifth annual meeting many forward stops were taken. A gavel made of wood from Mount Vernon was presented to tlie federation by tlie Charlotte Woman’s Club, The feder ation pin was first exhibited, eagerly bought and proudly worn. At that time our interest in scholarship was aroused, and we voted to assist in raising a memorial scholarship at Salem College, in honor of Airs. Stone wall Jaekson. “At the next convention, the depart ment of education presented many scholarships from various colleges in the state, which were to he used at the discretion of the federation. This aroused the enthusiasm of the depart ment of education, which, on its own initiative, kept, a girl at the Greens boro Normal for four years, the money being raised by the commissioner of the department. When that money was returned to the federation treas ury, it was made, through a resolution bv the chairman of education, the nu cleus for a permanent loan fund, which became an immediate reality in the form of the Knllie Southall Cotton Co;in Fund, so dear to us all, because it is helping so many girls to com plete tMeir education—and will con tinue indefinitely to holy more and more ns it increases. “In the meantime, nil endowment bail been started and In 1010, ai Hen dersonville, the fhll $5,000 was re ported in the treasury. Our growing needs am] our growing expenses forc ed ns to go to work for another $5,000. which we hope to complete at this meeting. “The federation song wag first sung at Henderson in 1010. Now we are to have another one. which I hope all will learn and Idve to sing. The mu sic contests began at that time. Three musical selections were submitted, among them the federation sang, hut no prizes were given. Now. we have two silver runs to bo annually award ed for the first and second best music sent in. This year the music chair man has added n personal prize for the best music to the new federation livmn.

Near East Relief, that tlie outrageous I “duty" imposed on relief supplies sent , to tlie interior of Turkey lias been re | pealed by tin* Turkish nationalist gov ernment at the insistence of tlie Am' erican State Department.

Vigorous protest was made to the American State Department by Char les V. Vickery, of Now York, general secretary of tlie Near East Relief. Mr. Vickery contended that such an out- 1 rageous duty would not only greatly decrease the number of refugees that could lie fed, hut it would lie break ing faitli witli tlie American public} wbo are so cheerfully giving to this] cause. ( For six years funds have been col-1 looted and disbursed at an overhead of only five per cent.

Wndleigh, after spend ing many months in extensive study of the Nation's coal troubles, recently, in an open statement to domestic consumers, advocated summer buying of winter requirements, stating that householders would benefit from the fact that they are likely to got cleaner and bettor prepared coni in warm weather, due to less breakage from handling, and a lower moisture content.
