uon ward, which he frequently dues there are al
ways many questions to answer and heartaches to
soothe.
Late one afternoon last October Doctor Howe,
WINE going around the station one Of these
tours OF investigation, noticed a mddle-aged wom-
IN, OF neat, mOtherly appearance with two pretty
ntte girls cuddling up to her, sitting in the deten-
0on room. As the hour was late and he thought
they were visitors Doctor Howe inquired what they
were waiting for and II he could do anything for
them.
The woman explained that she was British and
with her children had been ordered deported They
had arrived from Great Britain about a month be-
fore but had no friends in this country and no
money and. therefore. had not been allowed to
enter.
The healthy appearance Of the two children, their
pretty faces and their evident good breeding won
over the commissioner on the spot and he immedi-
ately interested himself in their case.
The woman's name was Mrs. Rita Horner, and
her story was this: when the war broke out she
was living with her family. which, besides her hus-
band, consisted Of two sons and three daughters,
on dairy farm some miles out of Capetown. South
Africa. The country about them was rugged and
Wild and the girls, despite their young years. were
forced to walk many miles every day to attend
school. The sons. who were older, helped to work
the farm.
The husband and the two boys, along with most
VI tue dOteDOOleO men In tnat section, enlisted In
the British army soon after war was declared and
were sent to the front. They took part In the
nghting In Belgium and northern France. One son
was killed and the father seriously wounded All
trace of the other son had been lost Mrs. Horner
was unable to work the farm by herself so she
raised what money she could and went to England
with her three daughters-Una. fifteen years; PHI.
ten years old and Rita nine years old. They
had not been In England long when Mrs. Horner
decided to come to America"
On hearing Mrs. Horner's story Doctor Howe
communicated with the authorities at Washington.
He explained that these people were all strong
and healthy. that the children were beautiful and
that there was no danger of them becoming pub
lie charge Furthermore. he announced his willing
ness to be responsible for them. and a few days
after the machinery had been set in motion word
came back from Washington that Mrs. HOrner and
her children would be released in his custody
Meantime the family had made friends with near
" everybody on the island. The Waterman and
guards petted the children and gave them many
little presents. The attendants did all they could
to make them comfortable
Despite these attentions the children sometimes

Wonders of Science.

A camera man working for the edu-

met an old farmer coming out of a
house in one of the Middle states, and
explained his presence on the place
thus:
Il have just been taking some nov
ing pictures of life on your farm"
Did you catch any of my laborers in
motion?" asked the old man curiously.
"Sure, l did"
The farmer shook his head re-
flectively, and then said:

would act IL lonesome Noticing this Doctor
Howe one day asked the reason
1--WE not lonely for pc ple. 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 to a 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 on the
ground and the deer tracks could be followed
through the woods. The two younger girls possess
a knowledge of woodcraft which Doctor Howe says
is really amazing, and they have 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
stinct as that by which an Indian is guided.
The interest shown by Doctor Howe in this par
ticular case was in keeping with his general policy
Of administering the affairs of Ellis island that
those who come to this country from other lands
with the intention of making a new home for them
selves will be treated with as much kindness and
consideration as 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 clean,
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
tratve 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 a concert is given In the
registry room, the music being furnished by some
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 were per-
mitted to play on the lawns. The first day they
were released from the station they rolled upon the
earth and wept with JOY from contact with the
green grass.
During the winter months handball and other in
door games have been provided. Classes In gym
nastics have been organized for the men. The

CHERRY LEAF-BEETLE
Recommendations for Control Of
Periodical Pest.
Outbreak In 1915 Was by Far Worst
That Fruit Growers Have Yet
Experieneed-Experts Recon-
mend Nicotine SuIphate.

Qrom the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The appearance In enormous num-
bers of the cherry leaf-beetle In the
spring of 1915 necessitated a study Of
this insect, the results of which have
just been published by the department
in a professional paper. Bulletin No.
S52, The Cherry Leaf Beetle-A Peri
Odically Important Insect Enemy of
Cherries" by II. A. Cushman and
Dwight Isely. The 1915 outbreak was
by far the worst that fruit growers
have yet experienced. That year the
beetle proved destructive throughout
the greater part Of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and northern West Virginia, and
also in the northern part Of lower
Michigan. where cherry-growing Is
very extensive. The entOmOl0gists
who studied the insect at that time
now recommend that for peach or
chards nicotine sulphate be used, and
for cherry trees sweetened arsenate of
lead. These are the only two cultivat-
ed fruits that the beetle attacks. Sweet
cherry and plum are not In danger
and the thicker-leaved varieties Of the
sour cherry are much less seriously
injured than the thin-leaved kinds.
The nicotine sulphate used in the
experiments consisted of solution of
40 per cent nicotine sulphate. part to
COO parts Of water. to which was add
ed Hsh-oil soap at the rate of 2 pounds
to 80 gallons of liquid. This spray
does not cause the same injury to
peach foliage that is likely to follow
the use of strong mixtures Of arsenate
Of lead. 1t is, however. only tenn
porarily effective. and an application
one day does not prevent an invasion
of the orchard on the following day.
For cherry trees arsenate Of lead
must be applied at a rate Of not less
than 5 pounds to 80 gallons Of water.
The addition of molasses at the rate
Of ~ gallons to so gallons of the
mixture makes the spray much more
effective. but, on the other hand. the
addition of this sweetening allows the
spray to be more easily washed of by
rains. In favorable weather, however,
the effect Of the spray is continuous.
As the beetles feed on the under
side of the leaves. care must be taken
to cover these with the poison spray.
In some instances 1t may be necessary
to spray only young cherry trees or
older trees Of the thin-leaved varieties.
