A MONUMENT TO RED TAPE

DEFENDERS OF the complicated rrupur
~ tional Immigration Law insist that it is
open to equitable Interpretation. II this is
true, its administrators are at fault to the
point Of abSurdlty
In alleged compliance with the act. two
steamships normally arriving in New York
this week are to bc kept without the three
mil" limit until the calendar catches up
with the quota regulations. On August |
immigrant Greeks from the liner Mcgali
HellaS and Immigrant Italians from the
liner Argentina will be permitted to land
in accordance with the prevailing system of
monthly proportions.
But these vessels also carry n total Of 12S
American citizens. VIII" are also to be de-
taincd several days without the government
tai three mile line. They cannot land until
they have passed quarantine. They cannot
pass quarantine until they come to it.
They cannot come to it If the ships are sta
toned thrcc miles out in the ocean
The ppdantry Of such proceedings is
sorry reflection uron n Government which
assumes to protect it's citizens and treat
them fairly. II the administrators Of the
present Immigration Law aim to construct
n new monument to red tape, they have here
ingloriously laid its foundations

cURzoN AND NoRTHcLlFFE

DEOPLE everywhere who happen to be
Interested In the progress of improved
international relationships. and especially
Britishcrs who are concerned for the con-
tinuing strength and prestige Of their en-
pirc ought now to agtate for the appoint
mcnt of a new world commission. That
commission should be asked to determine
whether Earl CurzOn, British Secretary for
Foreign Affairs. is more intelligent and more
tactful in dealing with foreign officials,
potcntatcs and Powers than he has shown
himself TO be in his amazingly silly crusade
against Lord Northclifc.
If the immense powers of the British
Foreign Office are to he directed with child
;sh spite and elaborate but futile malice the
English still have q lot of trouble ahead
of them.
NorthrlIffc Is n source of irritation to
good many Englishmcn. He has an ncurable
desire to run the empire through the medium
of his newspapers. He has moods in which
he yearns to boss the King and his Minis
tcrs and. incidentally. the people. And be-
cause NcrtErlfTc is ns he is and because
he tells unpleasant truths when il suits him
to he straightforward. Lloyd George and
CVr2on tried 80 keep official Government
news from his papers. That sort of boycott
Is irrational. 1t won't work.
Now Ambassador Geddes has been forced
to cancel arrangements made for the enter
tainment of the London publisher at the
Washington Embassy.
All the London papers rushed to North
clife with the news refused by the Foreign
Office All Washington now clamors to dine
NOrthClffe. So II goes. Yet man in
Curzons position should be above all things
effective. Curzon Is anything but effective
In the present instance.

available and the cheapest. and people
should take advantage Of this fact and use
them as much as they can. Of these vege-
tables, carrots, bcets, beans, spinach, etc,
are excellent in food values and in their
cooling qualities, while all the fresh fruits
are equally valuable.
"And. of course, plenty Of milk should
he used The sanitary conditions under
sumcr are very important, and most Of the
States now have adequate laws providing
for this matter.
The Milk at the Home
'In the home 1t is the duty of the mother
to see that the milk is kept sweet and fresh
and that 1t is in this condition when the
child receives it. lf the child does not care
for milk alone, 1t may be introduced in the
form of ice cream, which few children will
refuse.
MILK Is one of the most important of the
foods for children, and each child should
have quart of 1t a day. If this is i'm
possible in some families ,for any reason
provided for each child. Eggs also should
be frequently on the table. Their food value
is very great and they form an invaluable
form of food for all seasons, but especially
in the summer.
\ The Matter Of Meat
Regarding meat. it is safe to say that.
especially In the hot weather, the less meat
a child has the better. A child doesn't really
need meat until 1t Is at least eight years
old. OF course, 1t can digest and use meat
before this age, but it does not really need
it earlier.
'Any ripe fruits may safely be used for
any person past babyhood, and they may be
eaten raw. with the exception of bananas.
which should always be cooked before being
eaten.
The same general rules as to diet and
living apply to adults. Much depends upon
the psychology Of the food question In the
summer
FOOling the Taste
knows how to prepare food so that it has a
cool appearance need not worry much about
the family eating it heartily and considering
that they are eating cooling foods. no matter
what the actual ingredients of it are.
This may be done by serving iced foods
and by special garnishcs. If this is skill
fully done it will bring about the impression
of being an entirely different kind of meal
from that served TO the family in the winter,
no matter whether the food values be Of
the same kind or not. But in the summer
months fresh fruits and vegetables should
be used from an economical standpoint as
well as from that of health
Tho whole matter resolves itself into n
question of sane living in the warm weather.
But there are thousands of persons who are
not sane in their habits of living and of
eating in the summer months. and thoy
wonder what is the matter with them They
blame it on the weather, whereas the rpal
blame lies upon their own shoulders
