The EkOi are. devoted parents

liefs as to the advent and death OF
their babies. One charming super
~stitution fOrbids all %quarreling in a
house where there are little children,
The latter, so they say, love sweet
words, kind looks and gentle voices,
and If these are not to be found in
the family into which they have been
reincarnatAd, they will close their
eyes and forsake the earth till a
chance offers to return again amid
less quarrelsOme surroundings.
ITO the Ekoi, dancing is one OF
the main occupations of life. With
them the dance provides an outlet
botl: for the dramatic instinct and
for religious .feryer.f At the new
year. and on all great festivals, the
chief societies Of men, women and
children conc up to the station ia
give a series Of dances. The Ekoi
are q polygamous people, but the CHIEF

MANHOOD BEST
TEST Of ALIENS D
SAYS CAmINETTl

Washington, Feb. 1S.-"Manhood
should be the test applied to aliens
seeking admission to the United
States" declares Commissioner Cen
eral Of immigration Caminetti, In his
first annual report to. Secretary at
Labor Wilson, made public today.
"Such "a test" asserts Caminetti,
would constitute the ideal way Of
sitting immigration to admit none ex.
cept desirable aliens. As. q rule, ali
ems must earn their livelihood by
manual labor. The adoption of q
physical test, similar to- that recruits
for the army undergo, would insure
a Suitable. standard. The physical
standard now Is far below what it
should be.
High Physical Standard Urged.
"The illiteracy test, n0~twithstand.
ing all that can be- offered IN its "a
vor, has drawbacks. Whether or not
the illiteracy test Is adopted, the
standards of physical and moral
qualifications should be materially
raised.
with respect to criminal aliens,
rejection should be predicated upon
their having committe da crime or
misdemeanOr involving moral .turpi.
,tudesInther than upon having been
convscte of or admitting its commits

stated that he desired to express his

which no one was to blame, yet MIR.

souri, and $50 in cash. ''He certainly

AN APPLE FREAK

H. NJ. Aten this week brought to
The Herald office an apple freak
which has attracted considerable at
tention. The apple is a Duchess, but
shows a pronounced Whitney sweet
crab streak on one side, nearly half
an inch wide. Aside from the one
streak, it is we'll formed Duchess,
and it is thought that the pollination
of Duchess blossom and the sweet
crab, the closest tree, resulted in the
formation of the freak.
