secretary of the executive committee of
the Immigration Restriction League, last
night replied to the recent statement Of
President Emeritus Eliot. of Harvard.
that the reading test will produce a
scarcity of labor. Mr.. Hall said:
"The reading test would mean check
on the inflow of unskilled labor and the
maintaining of an American standard of
wages and of living.
$50 long as our labor market is con-
nected with inexhaustible reservoirs of
population In Europe and Asia, wages
here can never greatly rise above the
level in the old world.
President Eliot has helped to show
the issue: Immigration restriction and
American rate OF wages versus free I'M
migration and wages near European or
Asiatic level.
The American Association for Labor

asking: What should be done when thou

MOTHERS RUIN CHARM
OF DAUGHTERS, HE SAYS
Parents Urged to Avoid Too Much
Ambition for Children by Rev. DR..
lanes Shera MONTGOMERY.

Rev. James Shera Montgomery. pastor
of Metropolitan Memorial NJ. Z. Church.
last night urged a closer bond of SYM
psthy between the mother and the
daughter. in his sermon on THE Mother
and the Girls" He spoke of the tre-
mendous influence a mother may exert
upon her daughter by example.
The only way to train a daughter" I"
said DIR. Montgomery, els for the mother
TO be what she would have her daughter
be. 1t is not so much the school to
from which she comes. A homeless moth
er makes homeless daughter"
When the daughter begins to look
away from the harbor Of home and faces
the open sea of life often times the moth
er becomes over-charged with an ambi-
tion for her to the very point Of explosion
Thus q light mother makes a heavy
daughter. She may be as attractive as a
young princess, yet she looses her charm
all because of the mothers vain ambi-
tions. The mother makes the girls So
cial life a forced march," somewhat, and
the men know it.
Mothers hold on to your ideals! Pass
ing through a rowboat playing catch
with diamond is the pastime of a fool.
To take such a chance with a jewel, so
precious, is rashly senseless. Never al
low the best and the purest stand in
question at the bar of judgment of your
daughter. Never lower an ideal to Justify
any course you may take. What grace
and symmetry are to the lily; what skill
is to the hand: what music is to the poem
and what understanding is to the mind so
is ever a pure and holy mothers ex-

EMBASSY FOR Chile
IS EARLY PROSPECT
Administration Proposes Raising the
Grade of Present Post-Recip-
rocation Is Expected.
FLETCHER TO BE DROPPED

Diplomatic representatives OF South
american countries are awaiting formal
announcement Of tine decision TO raise
the American mission In Chile from the
Grade of legation 10 embassy. Informal
znowIedge OF this action has already been
communicated to members Of the Diplo-
matte Corps here.
This decision is in fulfllment Of the
policy of Secretary of State Bryan. who
has slready brought about the raising
OF the mission 20 Spain to the grade of
embassy, has had established a separate
mission TO Paraguay. and Is now await
ing favorable action by House and Senate
on the Administration bill to make the
mission to Argentine an embassy. With
the announcement of the favorable de-
cision with respect to Argentina. 1t was
accepted as a foregone conclusion that
the same action would eventually be
taken with respect to Chile. 1t is
thought probable that the formal an
nouncement will be deferred until the
bill to make the mission to Argentine an
embassy has been passed.
Consummation OF the administrations
plan will result in embassies to each one
Of the three most important South Ameri-
can countries, Brazil. Argentina, and
Chile. The creation of embassies will
cease for a long time, however. with
the change in Chile. II is believed. and
Peru, logically the next country to re-
ceive such honor. will undoubtedly have
a long wait. It is understood, of course.
that Chile will reciprocate the action of
the United States. just as the Argentine
government is preparing to do.
According to present plans it is unlikely
that Henry p. Fletcher, present Minister
to Chile, will be the first United States
to that country. The VIII
son administration, IT is understood. does
not care to reward a Republican hold
over diplomatist with such an honor,
and announcement of the acceptance OF
his resignation is regarded as not far
distant John w. Garrett. the present
Minister to Argentina. is to be retained
at his post and will be the first Ameri-
tan Ambassador TO that country.

Davis as he swung aboard a train last
night for the South. I'm going away
for a little rest and little sunshine
and warmth. After these gales and
blizzards and other touches OF the

Mr. Davis. who was Senator from
West Virginia from 1871 until 1883. and
candidate for the Vice Presidency on
the Democratic ticket in 1904. has cele-
brated his ninetieth birthday. but he
still may be seen almost daily in the
streets OF Washington attending busi-

and wide awake as most men at sixty

Davis gave q dinner at the home Of

widow OF the man who died few
years ago when a Senator from the
State that her father once represent

Carries Out Custom.
1t had been the custom OF Senator
Elkins to have an annual dinner to
bring together his business associates,
and since his death his father-in-law
has continued the custom. The dir-
ner was not in any sense a business
or political gathering, but speeches
were made. chiefly reminiscent, and II
seemed to be the consensus of opinion
of the railroad men present that good
times are coming again.
The fact is not generally known
that Mr.. Davis Is a railroad president
himself, engaged in the active man
agement of the coke and coal rail-
road that is developing the great
coal sections of West Virginia The
Office OF the company is in Washing

thur Lee, is vice president of the
company.
Senator Davis began life as
brakeman on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad when in his teens. and gave
up that occupation to begin, in Pied
mont, w. Va, the business career
that has since brought him wealth.
and power. He is a self
made man In the fullest sense of the
term, his educational advantages hav-
ing been limited. and his success due
to his own industry and
brains He was a prominent figure in
the United States Senate. and several
stories of his service there have been
preserved.
Thought He Was on Train.
One Of the best of them is that one
day he was doing away in his seat
during a prosy debate, when Senator
of Ohio, '"The Old Ro-
man." leader of the Democratic side.
at the close of a speech, drew a red

blasts that resounded through the
chamber. Jumping to his feet Sena-
tor Davis grasped the top Of his desk
and twisted 1t nearly OF in an effort.
AS he thought, TO apply the brakes
on the grade down the mountain side.
Several years after he had left the
Senate, Mr.. Davis was chatting In the
old Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York
one night with a man who had been
his colleague in the Senate. and told
him the story of how he had started
railroad building after retiring from
the Senate. and what the opening of
the coal roads had done for West Vir-
ginia- He had recently sold one of
these roads, and asked his visitor to
wait a moment while he went up
stairs, as he wanted to show him an
interesting human document Return

league for inspection a check made
out to his order for ss.OO0.0e. the price
he had received for his property.

When the Democrats were in the

Davis was chairman OF the Committee
