James j. Davis. Secretary of Labor,
tention of intlicting heavy fines upon
the Cunard Line for bringing immi-
grants from countries whose quota was
exhausted, visited Ellis Island yester-
day and conferred with Robert E. Tod,
Commissioner of immigration, as to
methods of enforcing the restrictions
Of the immigration law.

from now on" said Secretary Davis,
"if the steam ship lines are brought to
strict accounting. There is much con-

Lack of Funds Causes
Ship Board Staff Cut
About 100 Employees Will Be
Dropped at Offices in
New York C;tv

In an effort to keep the expenses Of
the Shipping Board within the appro-
priations by Congress 100 of the 4oo
employees in the New York Offices will
be dropped. The decrease in the per
sonnel is the result of conferences held
here the early part of the week among
A. M. Mack, director of the Eastern dis
trict; A. j. Frey, vice president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation in charge
of operations, and Joseph w. Powell
president of the Fleet Corporation.
The employees of the board in New
York have already been reduced from
l,4OO to 400. The new cut will be made
between January l and Is, Mr.. Frey
said.

Cost of Stevedoring
Taken Up by O'Connor
Shipping Board Commissioner
COnfers With Officials of
Operating Firms

Cost of stevcdoring in New York
Harbor was the subject of another
discussion yesterday between Shipping
Board Commissioner T. V. O'Connor
and representatives, of operating COM
panies here. Mr.. O'Connor said that
conclusion may be deferred until
next week.
Most of the attention of the meet
ings is given to the adoption of a
standard form of contract to be used
by stevedorlng companies to avoid con-
fusion, which resulted in the rejection
recently by the board of oil offers for
this work

WHY HE GAVE UP NUMBERS
School Superintendent Had to Have a
Personal Experience of Objection
abIeness of His System.

In Indianapolis there is a certain
school superintendent who used to re-
fuse to call any of the people under
him by their names. He said that it
was too much trouble to learn them
and that numbers were much more
convenient. anyway. But now he has
dropped the number habit and takes
the time and trouble to learn every
new employees name and uses it ac-
cordingly. But only a few of his most
intimate friends know the aso for
his change.
At one time he was confined in a hos
pital. He was very well known and
had much company. One day when
alone he overheard the head nurse say
to the doctor: Now if you're ready
We'll dress No. SIS arm next"
The number on the door of his room
was No. 5, so he knew whom they meant
AS he lay there he decided that since
a name appealed so much more to him
than a number it might be the same
way with other people, even his en-
ployees. Hence his name system.

HAVE BRAINS AND USE THEM
Ways-How They Sometimes OBJ
tain Food Supplies.

Rats are well known to be highly In
telligent animals. although to the nj
unfamiliar with their customs this may
seem due to their wariness in regard
to traps and their boldness and courage
In combat. Besides these traits, many
others have been noted. Stories are
told of ship rats that, while gnawing
through the woodwork of a ship, al
ways stop before they completely per-
forate the side.
The manner in which they transport
eggs to their burrows is most surpris-
ing, says the New York Times. Rod
well, in his book, 'The Rat" gives a
case in which a number of eggs were
carried from the top of a house to the
bottom by two rats devoting them
selves to each egg, and alternately
passing it down to each other at every
step of the staircase. Rats will not
only convey eggs from the top Of the
house to the bottom, but also from bot
tom to top. The male rat places him
self on his forepaws, with his head
downward, and raising up his hind
legS anu cuICllHS lu0 egg DelWeeA
them pushes it up to the female, who
stands on the step above, and
1t with her forepaws till he jumps up
to her, and this process is repeated
from step to step till the top is
reached.
A writer in the Quarterly Review de-
scribes an instance aboard ship where
in eggs were continually being stolen
from the storeroom. Having laid in a
fresh stock of eggs, the captain sat
down in a position that commanded a
view of the eggs and waited. Before
long, to his great establishment, he saw
a number of rats approach, form a line
from his egg baskets to their hole and
hand the eggs from one to another in
their fore paws.
Their long, narrow tails may seem of
no use to many people, but they have
proved very valuable in procuring food.
Rats have been known to help them
selves to oil by holding on to some con-
venient support by the side Of the bot
tie and then dipping their tails into the
oil and pass it to others.

treasure for AQUARIUM.

There was added not long ago to
the aquarium at Calcutta a gigantic
crab, about two feet in diameter across
long, which had been captured in a
drag net in the Indian ocean about a
mile from the shore and at a depth
of 40 fathoms. After being placed in
a large tank it devoured the fish and
smaller c~rustaceans that were its fell
low prisoners, and later in the evening
surprised its keepers and visitors by
emitting a white prosphorescent light.
strangely Illuminating the gloomy cor
ner where it had concealed itself be-

coach of the Danvers College track
team spoke discouragedly, HE can

I've seen on a man around here in
years-but he doesn't seem to take
any interest in it at all. He gets
out there every day and iddles around

ever does. Put him in a meet and it's
ten to n he gets licked.

he doesn't seem to car a whoop. You

was trimmed in the hundred by a
little chap about half his size-and he
came in grinning! 4 guess let him

all he said. What are you going to

The man who had been talking to
the coach left him in a few minutes,
his brow wrinkled in thought. And
that afternoon he sent a wire to New
York, which elected instant response,
and that same evening Billy Renfrew,
much to his surprise, received a note
which read as follows:
'Dear Mr.. Renfrew:
