IMMIGRANTS MAY
READ FROM PSALMS
As Primary Test for Their Admission
to the United States If Pres
emit Plans Garry.

New York, Feb l7Uncle Sam will
soon be conducting great classes in
reading the Psalms almost at the feet
of the statue of Liberty if proposals
for changes in examinations of ineom-
ing aliens are adopted.
Alfred Hampton, assistant commits
sioner general of immigration, has been
comforting with immigration officials in
regard to restoring the pre-war prac-
ice of examining all immigrants who
come by Storage at Ellis Island in
stead of on shipboard as at present.
If the primary tests are made at the
island more than 1000 men and women
will read from the Psalms there daily,
and Miss Liberty, who stands stone 8
throw from the island slip, could hear
if she were incarnatc.
Reading from the Psalms is the lit
aracy test for admission to this coun-
Try, which went into effect in May,
1917, and is now receiving its first real
trial because immigration during the
war was small. The law provides that
IN immigrant with a few exceptions
must be able to read from 80 to 40
words in any language he or she de
sires. The department of labor devised
he Psalm test as the fairest for all.
Immigration inspectors are equipped
with cards in all languages with verses
from the Psalms printed on them. All
types of script are represented, Ger
man. Arabic Hebrew, japanese, Rus
ian and so on, except Chinese. for that
nationality is not permitted to immi-
crate. Lest any alien learn parrot
ike the verse of the Psalm that a
friend in this country had to read, the
Inspectors have at least 40 different
Ferses in each language, one verse to
card.
The proposal that primary inspection
# steerage passengers be at the island
instead of on shipboard is made be
lause immigration authorities regard it
is impossible to conduct adequate ex-
animation of aliens on the ships Often
ship has as many as 1000 steerage
passengers and the quarters afford little
opportunity for checking and properly
esting aliens, not only for illiteracy
,ut for health and other immigration
equirements
Examination at the island, it is be
ieved, would prevent many immigrants
,eing feeced after leaving steamship
,iers. as they are now. When they
lad passed all tests at the islands they
would be conducted to railroad termi-
tas and seen safely off to their desti-
istions by inspectors. Now on leav-
ng the piers many of them are charged
70 cents apiece for sandwiches, $40 for
cab ride round the block and the

press" Necessarily Had to Take
Up Little Space,

An interesting relic of other days
turned up in Washington not so long
ago in the shape of a letter of in
structions sent in the pony-express
days by merchant in ST. Louis to his
agent in San Francisco, This letter
has reference 10 the disposal of LOT
of goods that were shipped By way
Of Cape Horn, and, although it con-
tanned several thousand words and a
copy Of an invoice, II was written on
just two sheets Of paper.
The paper itself Is a sort of tough,
Opaque tissue very thin and slight
When folded the letter slips easily into
an envelope three inches wide.
The reason why this communication
WAS prepared in such a peculiar way,
lies in the stamp attached, one of the
old pony express" series, with de-
sign of a man on horseback squirting
at a gollop across the plains We all
know, of course, that the Pacific mail
Of that period was carried by relay
riders, but few of the present genera
ton have any idea Of the great pains
that were taken 70 reduce its weight to
minimum, The letters were stored
in little fiat pouches under the flaps
of the saddle, and they were usually
written on a specially prepared tissue.
The one referred 10 must have Occu-
pied an export clerk several days, for
the penmanship is minute. 1t is, how
ever beautifully executed, clear and
leglble,
