THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1916. ORIENTAL PROBLEM STILLUNSOLVED Commissioner Caminetti Pre 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 inimigra tion service, made public today. 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 field for ticir busi ness, the report declares. Immigration from the far Orient, too, is a problem still unsolved, the report sets forth. The systems 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 tlip ronrtrt "should hi ;," mnrlitteH at 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 the 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 employment agencies.

SENTIMENT GROWING FAST Quietly and under cover a move ment is growing among the local Elks looking toward arousing sentiment (or a new Elks' building in Omaha. While nothing has been done on this officially, there arc many promi nent members who are thinking of coming out with a campaign in the spring to arouse interest among the membership in a new building. odge No. .), the Omaha lodge, owns the building at present occupied on the cast side-fit Fifteenth street, between Karnam 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 practically 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 $05,000. To day it is conservatively estimated to be worth $150,000. Thus, it is pointed out by some who favpr a new building, that the old one could be sold for a handsome profit to create a good start toward a new building fund. The Elks in almost any other city the size of Omaha, and in many cities much smaller than Omaha, have tine Elks' buildings. Often these are de tached and situated on an open lot 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, which is much more attractive than the Omaha quarters. The Omaha lodge has some 1700 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 t -i That the big automobile owned by A. W. Taggart, which was found in the Missouri river near Florence 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. .

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 arvon 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.
