There is a touch OF comedy in
the case OF the first class passage
immigrant who landed in New York
Saturday and after looking the town
over asked to be deported because
he was criminal. Our alien crimi-
nal act does not provide for de-
porting liars, and to enjoy free trans
portation back to England he mu-t
prove that he is honest In saying
that he is a thief. In either case.
however, ne can hardly be looked
upon as stun for a desirable citi-
zen.

Power Of Habit.

The power of habit was strikincly
illustrated not long ago In shirt
waist factory. one woman who had
done nothing but sew up the seams OF
sleeves for four years was taken of
that particular job and was asked to
run up seams In the body Of the
waists. She complained that the
change made her SO nervous that she
could not work
But what is the difference" asked
the foreman. There is nothing but n
straight seam here. just the same as
you have been used to-"

true feminine logic. but 1t isn't

And II did indeed prove to he a fact
that owing To her -four years of steady
work on sleeves ii took her fully that

ness sufficiently to run the machine at
her accustomed speed when sewing an.
other part of the waist Exchange.
