HUNDREDS OF VOICES

Observance of the Day Begins at
Midnight in Many of the
Sanctuaries.

Christmas day was ushered in with joy
fui music and prayers of religious signif-
cance In many of the churches of the
city at l. o'clock last night and during
the morning hymns in praise of Him who
came TO save the world were sung by
hundreds of voices.
While in the homes and places of
amusement the lighter phases OF Christ
mas were manifested, in the churches the
holy character of the anniversary Of that
solemn occasion in the Bethlehem manager
when the Little Babe was laid in Mary's
arms was being commemorated.
With music and prayers and sermons
homage was paid to Jesus Christ, and
the old Biblical stories of the Three Wise
Men and the momentous events of that
now distant day were recalled and made
vivid by the spirit which He exemplifed.
Those who attended the services felt
themselves drawn backward and upward
by the old, old sentiment, Peace on
Earth. Good Will to Men,
Many of the Protestant churches held
their Christmas services last Sunday, and

SEES FUTURE OF RACE
IN IMMIGRATION LAWS

1.-THE United States is taking more pains
today to see that a Hereford bull or a
Southdown ewe imported for the improve
ment of our cattle, are sound and free
from disease than it takes in the admis-
sion of an alien man or woman, who
will be the father and mother of American
Ward of Harvard University, in a recent
communication to Gilbert H. Grosvenor.
director of the National Geographic So
ciety at Washington.
How far do our present immigration
laws enable us to exclude those aliens
who are mentally, physically and morally
undesirable for parenthood; those whose
coming here will tend to produce an in
ferior rather than superior American
race; those who, in other words, are
eugenicalIy unfit for race culture? Steam
ship agents and brokers all over Europe
and eastern Asia are today deciding for
MS the character of the American race of
the future.
"Our present laws aim to exclude some
twenty lone classes Of mentally, physically,
morally and economically undesirable
aliens. On paper the list of the excluded
classes is long and formidable, and seems
more than sufficient to accomplish our
eugene purposes, but the fact is that
careful and unprejudiced students of i'm
migration agree that these laws do not
keep out the unfit SO as to preserve the
status quo, to say nothing of promoting
eugenic improvement.
I'VE could insist that each alien, on
landing here, should undergo very thor
ough mental and physical examination at
- ho nd Of nIIh1jc health nd marine
hospital service surgeons. These examina-
lions would involve the stripping to the
skin of each alien. the usual physical ex-
aminationS for physical defects, mental
tests, tests for contagious diseases ana
similar precautions.
1T Is nothing short of a crime to admit
people, as often happens in a rush season,
at the rate of 5000, 1000 or 5000 In a
day at Ellis Island. On April IL. 1910,
1881 immigrants were inspected by the
medical officers. l believe we ought to
limit the number of aliens who shall be
landed in one day to a certain number
which could reasonably well be carefully
inspected We ought largely to increase
the number of surgeons detailed for this
work, and should enlarge the accommo-
dations at some of our immigrant stations.
Fines Should Be Increased.
eve can go a long way by increasing
the fines which the steamship companies
pay when they bring over an alien who is
found, on our own examination here, to
be an imbecile, idiot, epileptic or suffering
from a loathsome or contagious disease
which could have been detected at the
port of departure. The fine is now only
500. We should put immigrant inspectors
and our own surgeons on board of all
immigrant-carrying vessels. These OFF,

the voyage over, should see that they
are properly treated and cared for; that
they are not overcrowded and that they
receive adequate medical attention. They

would be able to detect great many
cases of physical and of mental defect
which we could not possibly detect in our
necessarily hurried examinations when
these people land. We ought to amend
our laws so that it will be possible to
exclude more aliens of such low vitality
and poor physique that they are eugeni-
cally undesirable for parenthood.
"The need is imperative for applying
eugenic principles in much of our legis-
lation. But the greatest, the most logical,
the most effective step that we can take
is to begin with proper selection Of the
incoming alien millions"

Kerosene in the Radiator.

The use of kerosene in the radiator as
a combination non-freeZing and cooling
agent is an annual suggestion. 1t is the
opinion of many who have studied the
matter that while it might be a success
in the very far north it is failure in
our ATTITUDES. In the state of Iowa there
are occasional warm days even in the
winter. During these periods a motor
would tend to overhead readily because
the kerosene would evaporate quickly.
and because the specific heat of the
kerosene would not permit it to carry
away the necessary heat of the COM
bustion chamber per cubic foot of fluid
circulated. Kerosene also rots the hose
connection. II cannot be mixed with
water and possesses an unpleasant odOr
at high temperature. For these reasons
it is unsatisfactory.

Anti-Skidding Device.

One of the latest anti-skidding devices
to appear has been patented. 1t consists
OF pair of specially constructed hollow
mudguards to contain the sand. These
are substituted for the regular members
over the rear wheels. A valve is pro-
vided, operated by a handle from the
drivers seat. When the car starts to
skid on slippery road, pulling the ham
die releases the sand, which flows in the
sidewise Faith of the tires and stops the
skid.
