MISSOURI MOTTO WORLD WIDE
All Persons want to BE Shown, Thus
Proving Themselves Human.

The Connecticut youth who bit into
n golf ball displayed a thoroughly hu-
man curiosity He wished to prove
for himself whether what he had
heard about the deadliness OF the
core was true. From the time manu-
facturers began making the present
style of ball they have warned peo-
pie AGAINST its danger.
A boy begins his experiments when
against the admonitons Of his par
erts he burns his fingers on hot
plate. He continues them when ne
tales his first watch to pieces To see
how the wheels go around. y Cali
fcrnian, who declared that snake
vcnom could not possibly he fatal
to man, recently permitted himself TO
be bitten by a newly discovered ser
pent scientists declared was deadly.
He succeeded in proving that the
snake expert was right. Many lolEs
have always mistrusted sea stories
about the maneating procUViues ol
tie shark Before another year has
passed there will be those who Will
insist on more proof than mas Just

The motto of Missouri is the motto
not of q state, but Of humanity. All
want to be shown. Men undertake iu-
ventures in political, 'ocial and dust
ness life. risk their lives in Scienutlt
experiments in unknown, dangerous
lands because they believe that they
can succeed where others have failed

ELLIS ISLAND IN
FOR u. S. PROBE
Acting Secretary of Labor win Invcs-
tigate Conditions at lmmi-
grant Station.

NEW YORK, July 21. - Several
changes in administrative policy de-
signed to improve conditions at tn.
immigrant station on Ellis island were
put into effect today by John b. Dens-
mere, acting secretary of labor, after
an inspection that he made with Rep
resentative Isaac Seigel, member OF
the committee on immigration or the
house of representatives. The inves-
tieation resulted from criticisms made
by Representative William 5. Bennett
against Commissioner of Immigration
Frederic c. Howe MIR. Bennett allegeo
that immoral conditions prevailed at
Ellis island
I'VE found no actual grounds for
criticism of immortality said Repre-
sentative Seigel. "As to the charge
that immoral women were permitted
to enter the country under bond, the
responsi bility for that cannot be put
up to Commissioner Howe. If there
has been any such action tfe blame
attaches to Washington authorities
for they have the sole power OF grant
ing bonds"
Under the new regulations undesir-
able aliens will be separated from
the others. Sanitary rules designed
TO improve conditions in the dining
halls and living quarters also will be
more rigidly enforced.
