They are putting out fires with foam
now.
Next time your house gets ablaze It
will be fine II it happens to be wash
day and the missus has q nice tHbful
of suds. But fires are not so accom-
modating as that.
The situation regarding the extin-
gushing Of fire has become rather
mixed since the use OF electricity and
gasoline became SO general In the
old days water was sufficient-large
quantities of water-to take the am
bition out Of even O good healthy fire.
But water does not suffice for gasoline
or the electric fires. When used on
gasoline the flaming liquid simply
raises itself to the top OF the water
and burns all the more fiercely. When
water is put on crossed electric wires
II causes the wires to break out IN
flashes at every place that 1t touches.
Consequently there has been some
dif1lculty found In getting q convenient
form of extinguisher. Sand has been
used mostly for gasoline fires, and
turning off the current Is about the
only thing that will stop an electric
cross circuit-then water can be used
But the gasoline and OIL fires have
been the hardest to fight. There Is
no such thing as putting them out as
| long as q bit Of air can get to the part
that is blazing. Therefore the only
thing to do Is to stop the air from get

GOVERNOR WILSON
SEES WORKINGS Of
IMMIGRATION LAWS
Visits Ellis Island and Wit
nesses the Process
of Admitting I'm
migrants

New York, January 25.-Hundreds of
aliens, many of Them still clad in the
garb of distant sends, stood before
the immigration officials at Ellis
Island today seeking admission to the
country while Gov. Woodrow Wilson,
President-elect of the United States,
observed with a scrutinizing eye the
manner of their welcome.
Scenes of pathos and of joy were
mingled as those physically deficient
were turned away or the more fortu-
nate passed successfully through the
lanes of inspection into the embraces
of waiting friends 1t was while OBJ
serving the last process of the law
whereby the officials satisfy them
selves that friends seeking the immi-
grants have a bona ide errand, that
the party witnessed one of the dra-
matte incidents so familiar at Ellis
Island. A young girl from Poland,
with white shawl wrapped about her
head, was weeping when the Presi-
dent-elect came in. Commissioner Will
liam Williams explained that the wom-
an had spied her relatives outside the
latticed fence of steel behind which
the immigrants are kept until duly
passed. and was weeping for joy at
the sight. The girl stood in line wait
ing her turn, but at the direction of
the commissioner her case was taken
up at once, her relatives answered sat
isfactorily the necessary questions and
the President saw her dash for
ward into the arms of sister, kisses
mingling with tears.
Mr.. Wilson was an interested spec
tator throughout He asked questions
continually and observed in the detail
the methods employed to discover the
undesirable newcomers. When he left
Ellis Island he was asked what he
thought of the station.
Il merely came tor information, not
for thought" he answered with a smile.
The governor and his family later
went shopping and took motor drive
through Central park. They will spend
tonight and tomorrow with Mrs Car
oline b. Alexander at Hoboken, n. J..
In the governors party were Mrs.
Wilson and Misses Jessie and Eleanor
Wilson, Mr.. and Mis-. Douglas Robin
son, Mrs James Borden Hartman,
1tOydl MeekeT, VI poiilicdi
economy at Princeton; Willard
Straight and Mrs. Caroline Il. Alex
ander, at whose suggestion the trip
was made.
The President-elect asked many
questions. Il wonder he said as he
looked down on the crowd awaiting
examination, IF these people knew be-
fore they arrived what they are to go
through" Commissioner Williams told
him in general the immigrants were
told on shipboard what was expected
of them.
The governor saw Russian reject
ed on account of a weak heart and
listened to the testimony before the
board of special inquiry regarding an
other Russian charged with being "a
white SLAYER"
This man was ordered deported.
