would if lonesome. Noticing this Doctor
Howe day asked the reason.
I'VE are not lonely for people, but lonely for ami
mails" they answered. In South Africa one of their
principal pastimes had been to trek through the
woods with their dogs The Horners remained at
Ellis island for several weeks after they had been
admitted to the country; then Doctor Howe took
them up n summer home he has In the woods IN
Westchester county.
There they have lived all winter enjoying life In
the open country. especially when snow was on the
ground and the deer tracks could be followed
through the woods. The younger girls possess
a knowledge of woodcraft which Doctor Howe says
really Amazing and they have no fear OF getting
lost in the woods. They walk for miles In which
ever direction their fancy takes them, always find
ing their way back home by the same sort OF In
stnct as that by which an Indian is guided.
The interest shown by Doctor Howe in this par
ticuar was In keeping with his general policy
of administering the affairs of Ellis island that
those who come this country from other lands
with the intention of making new home for them
selves will be treated with much kindness and
consideration the enforcement of the exclusion
laws permits.
The enforcement of these laws is bound TO cause
many hardships and disappointments. but Ellis Is
land is no longer place to be dreaded 1t Is cean'
wholesome and comfortable The walls of the
registry room where the incoming aliens receive
their first impressions of America, are no longer
bare and forbidding. They have been draped with
American flags and hung with portraits of the pres
idents and pictures of important events in Amer
lean history. Palms and other growing plants have
been placed around the room. Photographs Illus
tratiye Of the natural beauties and resources of
America, procured from the various government de-
partments at Washington have been placed IN the
detention room and around the corridors
Every Sunday afternoon concert is given in the
registry room, the music being furnished by some
one of the organizations of foreign born persons in
and about New York city which have volunteered
to furnish such entertainment. moving picture
outfit has also been provided by another group OF
interested persons and receptions are given every
Thursday night These entertainments have done
much to brighten the lives of those who have been
detained on the island for months. Last summer to
relieve the situation Fairgrounds were opened on
the island, and mothers and children per-
mitted to play the lawns. The first day they
were released from the station they rolled the
earth and wept with Joy from contact with the
