Those aliens are subject to the law who are between the ages of 16 and 35 years, physically and mentally fit. and unable to read and write the English language with the proficiency required of a person attending the fifth grade of the pub­lic schools of the state. The carrying into effect of the law is placed by the state board of edu­cation in the hands of A. C. Mathe­son of the state school offices. He an­nounced yesterday that Saturday, Oc­tober 1, in some districts, and special dates in other districts which have been fixed by the local school boards, have been set aside as additional reg­istration days. The state law fixes September 1 as the date, and there was considerable registration of aliens on that date this year. It is an­nounced, however, that the work has just begun. Night classes for all foreigners ex­pecting instruction in the American language and citizenship will open at the West high school September 26 at ALIENS MUST ENTER SCHOOL All In Ogden Called to Register Tomorrow at Central Junior All aliens in Ogden must register tomorrow at Central Junior High school, 504 Twenty-fifth street, between 8 a. m. and 8 p. m., says a statement from F. T. Wiggins, director of American­ization work here. Utah's state law requires tha all alien persons (both men and women) residing in the state be­tween the ages of 16 and 3 5 years, must register, pay a $10 instruc­tion fee and attend an evening school at least four hours each week. "Any person subject to the pro­visions of this act who wilfully violates the provisions shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than $15 and not more than $25," so the law reads. His statement continues: "School work for the foreign born will begin on Thursday. September 16, at 7:30 p. m., at the Ogden Senior High school. Three classcs will be organized, namely: Beginning, intermediate, and advanced. FIGURES OF 1920. "There are many aliens in Og­den. The 1920 United States census shows the following for­eign born in Ogden: Australia, 15; Austria, 55; Canada, 169; Denmark, 369: Eng­land, 359; Finland, 3; France, 54; Germany, 171; Greece, 72; Ireland, 136; Italy, 250; Chinese, 95; Mexico, 65; Netherland, 749; Norway, 190; Poland. 26; Russia. 223;; Spain, 44; Sweden, 35S Switzerland, 41; Wales, 9C; Japs 319; all other countries, 95, making a total of 4,037 aliens in .all. Perhaps there are many more aliens now. WTe do know that there are more Mexicans in the city of Ogden, probably twice as many. BACK DOOR OPEN "'America has closed the front door, only to leave the back door open,' says James J. Davis, United States secretary of labor. Mr. Davis has advocated, for many years, the registration of all aliens in the United States. He believes it to be the best preparation for citizenship and a safeguard against Americanization frauds. "Utah's alien and instruction law is a step in this direction and Utah and Ogden have the oppor­tunity of helping our aliens ac­quire a real understanding of the duties, privileges and rights of citizenship." MANY WITHOUT COUNTRY IN U. S. Sept 1926 Million Cannot Claim Citizenship and Have No Legal Rights WASHINGTON, July 14.-(By The Associated Press.)-The "man without a country" of book fame wpuld have plenty of company were he to set foot on American shores. More than 1,000,000 persona in the United States, or approximately 1 per cent of the total population, are in the same fix, and most of them don't know it. This revelation was made today by Harvey E. Hull, commissioner of immigration, in discussing some of the queer workings of the im­migration laws." "You can safely say," he assert­ed, "that there are over a million people in this country today who cannot claim citizenship of any land. A great majority of them are unaware of this, but quite a few of them who are, don't seerti to care." The commissioner explained that this huge total of "outcasts" was created largely by aliens who have overstayed their temporary entries, and by tourists, who, en route to some other country, stopped off here, found a job, and settled down. Many also came over the borders when restrictions were less rigid, lost their original citizenship by re­maining here too long and then for­got or ignored American citizenship requirements. Hull said his bureau never seeks out these non-citizens, but often comes in contact with them. Some are amazed to find out that they have no legal claim to any cit­izenship when they apply for pass­ports or re-entry permits; others learn about their status when they go before a court to sue or in some other legal proceeding. "It works the other way around, too," he asserted. "An American can go abroad and lose his citizen­ship here and there also if he is careless about the law." WOMEN REGRET SESSIONS END Americanization Class, Sponsored by Federation, Quits Until Fall. The last meeting until the fall pro gram .of the Americanization class sponsored by the City Federation of Women's clubs was held yesterday af tier noon in the Chapman branch of the public library on South Eighth West street. A score of enthusiastic' foreign mothers, with their babie.s. were in attendance and voiced regret that the meetings must close until September. The Americanization class was started in that section of the city last November. Five Italian women, eager for companionship and a chance to learn more from American women, met in the library. A short program of entertainment and a talk outlining the future meetings were given by the club women in cl'narge of the af­fair. A program in which they had an active share in making was mapped out. Home making was the subject to be stressed. A social halt hour of feminine gossip about babies, ' cakes and embroidery followed the i formal .program, and dainty refresh- ! ments were served. The American women entered into the gossip with 1 as much avidity as did tueir dusky- skinned sisters, for there are many secrets of the kitchen and the needle that the Italian women .were anxious to share. One of those "good times by all" was ,had. The meetings were to be held the third Friday of every month from 2 until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The December Friday came along, and in­stead of tha five Italian women there were nearly a dozen, and nearly all had babies in their arms. A talk on table-setting and some music were given and the usual social half hour and refreshments. was on care of babies. And so on through the months, each meeting finding a larger and more enthusi­astic crowd. Yesterday, when the announcement was made that the meetings would be discontinued until autumn, disappointment was evident on every face. Even the delicious strawberry shortcake and coffee couldn't make up for it. But a committee meeting has been announced for August, so that the program may start in September with no delay. The committee of the City Federa­tion of Women's clubs which is the, success is head-ed by Mrs W. F. Core, and she has been ably assisted by Mrs. H. R. Allen, Mrs. C. W. Watson, Mrs W. A. Marshall, Mrs. D. H. Christensen, Mrs. Hyrum Jenson, Mrs W. A. Mer­rill, Mrs E. W. Senior, Mrs. Julia Lund and Mrs. M. H. Parry ALIENS BREAKING THROUGH PATROL Sept 1926 Federal Official Says Forces Unable to Stop Smuggling WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.- (By The Associated Press.)-Present immigration forces, although doing all they can to enforce the law, are inadequate to cope with conditions along the Canadian border, where thousands of aliens are seeking to gain access illegally to the United States, Harry E. Hull, commissioner general of immigration, declared today on his return from an in­spection trip. In addition to keeping out aliens seeking entry by illegal methods, he said, immigration officers on the northern border are faced with the daily task of examining 100,000 aliens seeking admission through regular channels. "The task," he asserted, "is an enormous one and for its success­ful accomplishment no expenditure of funds or personnel should be spared." Practically the entire length of the Canadian boundary was found to be lined with aliens ready to take advantage of an unpatrolled . stretch to slip into American ter- : ritory, the commissioner said, add­ing that there was. no doubt that many organized smuggling gangs were operating. Aliens have been apprehended, he reported, crawling over the under girders of the Nigara Falls bridge, .where confederates had been post­ed on both end3 to aid them in scaling the cliffs. Others, he go on foot for weeks to find some point on the border not adequate­ly guarded, or resort to matriiuo;;y to avoid the quota restrictions. (Note-Belief that immigration smuggling along both the Mexican and Canadian borders is being eliminated by increasing inspec­tion forces was expressed by James J. Davis, secretary of labor, when he was in Ogden yesterday after­noon. He stated that there werg now 600 men in the border patrols and that while all illegal immigra­tion could not be stopped that his inspection had shown there was al- must complete curtailment. Com­missioner General Hull's office is under the direction of the secre­tary of labor.
