Kevin Clarke of the St. Louis district naturalization office came to assist the petitioners with preparations of their so-called "second and three petitions were made out after the applicants for citizenship were called to the clerk's office. The petitions have been filed in time for final hearing to be had at the February term of court which affords the next rule day In citizenship cases. New Plan In Use Under the plan now followed, when aliens who have filed declarations of intention become eligible to file their second papers, they notify the naturalization office.

An examiner then checks the papers in cases, sees whether everything in proper legal order, and then arranges to confer with the applicants and asBist them to prepare petitions. This plan has been ound to prevent errors and to make sure that cases do not go into court for hearing until all details are in iroper form.
