A DAILY LINE O. CHEER
By John Kendnck Bangs
The WREcKER

The man who tries to turn my faith
Into = vain and empty wrath,
And leaves me nothing in it's stead
To give me hope for days ahead.
ls Just a mean and common thief
Who robbing me of my belief
Takes that which leaves me stark
and grim
And In no way .enrfches him.

New York. May 25.-
was walking along.
Looking In the windows.
And wishing a few editors.
Would get together.
And send me to Europe.
And pay all my expenses.
And someone called to me.
And I looked around.
And there at the curb.
Was John Gregory. a broker.
Who used to be a reporter.
And he was seated. -.
In one of those rakish cars.
With all kinds of mirrors.
And trick what-nots.
Including a trick horn.
That screams like a coyote.
And he asked me to get in.
And 1 asked him to drive me.
Past my tailor several times.
And then we went.
Over on Fifth avenue.
And as we crawled along.
In the heavy trafhc.
I began to watch.
All the people who had to walk.
And the more I, watched.
The sorrier l became.
1t seemed so pathetic.
To see the poor things.
Trudging along.
In their simple manner.
And tears came to my eyes.
And finally 1 had.
To tell Gregory.
To let me out.
1t was breaking my heart.
And I hate to break down.
Like that in public.
So 1 went up a side street
Until I had gained.
Control of my emotions.
And when l got back.
On the avenue again.
A great big fellow.
With a pair of No. II feet.
Got in front of me.
And stepped on my toes.
And it made me so mad.
1 got in a taxicab.
And sneered at the poor.
All the way home.
And from now on my slogan.
Will be: Let 'em walk
That's what l have to do.
And get stepped on besides.

At NEW YORK

NEW YORK, December 25.-Christ-
mas found Ellis Island packed. with
an overflow Of 10000 held aboard
ships, and other liners nearing port
loaded to the gunwales with aliens
seeking American citizenship
This jam of humanity has caused
an overwhelming congestion, demand
ing emergency measures, which were
discussed at conference here to-
day between Rowland B. Mahany.
representing the Secretary of Labor,
and Frederick A. Wallis, immigration
commissioner Eere.
1t is understood that both the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Secretary of Labor will be asked to
furnish additional inspectors and doc
tors to speed up the work. 1t was
pointed out that the present crisis is
due to a shortage of doctors to go
aboard ships and survey the passen-
gers with view of safeguarding
against the admission of persons
suffering with contagious diseases.
Commissioner Wallis sent addition
al inspectors aboard the ships this
morning to accelerate the work, and
all immigrants entitled to land will
be allowed to leave at once without
being taken to Ellis Island.

Telephone TOKENS"
is CLAYTON SUGGESTION

A suggestion has been made to the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company by William NICK. Clayton.
chairman of the utilities committee
of the Federation of Citizens Assoc
Citations. that the company sell tokens
at reduced rate for use in public
slot machine telephones.
Mr.. Clayton pointed out that in
his opinion the plan would work to
the advantage of the company as
well as the public. -,
To the man or woman who is re-
auired to-usse q public pay station
telephone frequently the token. Mr.
Clayton said. would constitute "a
legitimate Wholesale rate.
To the company. he believes. the
sale of such tokens would stimulate
the use of public pay stations. thereby
increasingly thf volume of telephone
business. s.ft
Adoption Of the plan would mean
a change in the company's rate sched-
ule and. therefore. would require the
approval q the Public Utilities Com
The telephone company expects to
go before the commission in January
to ask for a continuation of its ex-
be laid before the commission at that
time.
Mr.. Clayton said that when he dis
cussed the proposal with A. r. Berry.
president of the telephone company
that official seemed willing to inquire
into its merits.

TO AID SUFFERERS
F. M. Warburg Lauds Work
Being Done for Children

Felix NJ. Warburg. head of the Jew

of that faith to support the work

ing children of central and eastern
Europe. the committee of which he
is the chairman being associated with

of which is the terrible distress of

Duty of the Hour.
The joint distribution committee
believes that the paramount duty OF
the hour is to provide immediate sue

number of whom is estimated at three

With this thought uppermost in my
mind 1 appeal to the generous Jews of

enough funds may be obtained to pur-
chase the necessary DEMONSTRATING
foods until the arrival of the next

A pint of milk a day is necessary

.norities, that scientific investigations
are pelng made in the hope of finding
some substitute for small children
which will combine the nourishing
