INSANE ALIENS

New York, May GA conference
he!d yesterday by the representatives
Of the steamship lines and thu State
insane hospitals will result in the
sending to Europe in tho coming year
about 1000 insane aliens, who would
otherwise remain burden TO the
state. These aliens. in the average
t"elvo yeas of their lives. would cost
inc state $4,000 Il piece, or $1,000
600 The law could not have deman nd
ed their deportation. because They had
been in the United States over tho
prescribed time limit. when they be-
came public charge. 1t Is estima ted
that the action of the steamship lines
VIII save the State hundreds of thou
SANDS of dollars every year. and Will
render TIE erection OF expensive build
ings for the care of these aliens IN
necessary.
! AS none of the insane aliens can
legally b. sent away unless they are
willing TO go. and unless they have
| been properly identified to ensure their

great benefit Will be conferred upon
/ Inc aliens themselves. At the confer

| sion. and former Congressman Will
liam S. Bennett. Nvho has aided to
! bring about the conference between
| the hospitals and the steamship au-
thorities. An agreement was quickly
reached between tho different fac
tions.
Mr. Bennett gave an outline OF the
scheme at his office. He said that It
ought to begin working in two weeks.
The fare In each case is to be paid
by the State. beginning Will be
with such aliens as can travel with
out an attendant. and who are per-
fectly able to taxa care Of themselves
without discomfort to any ono else.
This includes a large class OF those
who are now IN State institutions, and
the only limit to sending them away
Will be their Willingness to 60 I'm
less they go voluntarily, the law pre-
vents their being sent.
DR.. G. S. Campbell, chief medical
examiner Of the deportation board, un-
der the State Hospital Commission. who
represented the commission at Fridays
meeting. says that the ratio of for
eign insane in New York Is as high
as one to fifty. or per cent, of the
foreign population. There are 1900
foreign insane in the State institu-
tons. he said. The immigration laws
of the State are inadequate. he said.
and the number of inspectors at Ellis
Island to determine the mental con
dition OF immigrants is insufficient.

RIBBON THEATER BAG.

glowing flower A ribbon ruching was
used to trim the outlines of the bag
A spray of ribbon flowers was knotted
at one side of the bag. This mai es a
pretty bag to carry to the theater and
for holding the opera glasses.
Brocade work bags also are most
fascinating and are quite fashionable.
Magnificent bits of fabric may be used
in this fashion. and if the pieces are
too small to form the entire bag they
are used with the satin or silk.
There are an infinite number of ways
in which they may be adapted in this
manner, and even the smallest pieces
are available for the decoration of the
bag.
If there is enough of the brocade it
is sometimes used in deep band with
the silk or satin shirred on the lower
or upper part of the bag. If the pieces
are smaller the brocade is made into
medallions and set into the sides
These medallions may be bordered
with gold lace or gold braid or with
fine shirrings of satin. Bags are safe
things to present to a woman friend,
for now, when they should match her
costume and are so generally worn.

HOW TO PREVENT YOUR
REGULAR WINTER COLD

large number of all kinds and all
sorts of people, unless the skin is al
lowed to accommodate it's functions to
the changes of atmosphere, you run a
great risk of allowing some of the
disease germs around you to gain a
foothold in your system. 1t does not
take many minutes for the susceptible
person to be affected Months may
roll on and you wonder why you are
not feeling fit why you have head
aches and colds; then the horrible rev.
citation that your lungs are affected
comes as a finishing shock.
The clothing next the skin should be
wooden. At least it should contain a
large proportion of this substance. For
sensitive skins silk and linen will do
if care is taken in cold weather never
to wear for a minute heavy outer
wraps or furs indoors.
Never, however, should the skin be
swathed in wooden garments such as
to produce certain perspiration You
should never feel too warm indoors
with wraps off nor too chilly out of
doors with furs or wraps on. If such
is the case you are not properly cloth
ed
There is no virtue in sanitary" I'M
derwear unless they allow free evap-
Grafton and are weighted to the wealth
er-not the seasons-mind you. Theo-
retically the same weight of under
year should be worn the year round,
, only the outer clothing changed to fit
p, the weather.
If common sense is used in follow
ling these rules, catarrh will disappear
and colds be unknown to you.
Keeping the feet encased in thick
stockings or socks does not by any
means afford winter protection for
them In the first place, as has been
repeated so often, keeping the feet
dry is the first rule of self-defense
from colds. Thick hosiery will not
keep the feet dry. Precipitation results
from the thick knitted wooden hosiery
and especially in winter, this is dan
gerous, because so many year rubbers,
