anniversary OF the birth Of the famous author.
There was fair sprinkling Of Americans
IN the poets corner Of tho Abbey during the
ceremonies. which were conducted by Edwin
Drew, Dickens devotee. Following tho serv-
ices at the tomb there were pilgrimages to the
Cheshire Cheese" and to the Cock tavern in
Fleet street. spots which Dickens used to love
to frequent.

Clean Uncle Sans Doorstep.

Hi First Impressions sink deepest and last
aoreest The first impression that four out
" nys immigrants to America get II OF tho
statue Of Liberty in New York harbor. Tue
next impression is Ellis Island. The first
represents the hope that has brought these i'm
migrants across the seas. The second repre-
seats their nrst actual contact with Ameri-
can Institutions.
Ellis Island is Americas doorstep. 1t 10
characterized by official inefRciency. inhuman-
ily and hesrtlessnese, by physical hlth, nard-
sship disease sometimes-death II Amer
lea had deliberately set out to throttle hope
and breed hatred Of American institutions in
the hearts OF the newcomers to our shores, 1t
would have made Ellis Island what it is.
But America is trying to impress the lmmi-
grant that Uncle Sans house is the best In
Tho world and that it wants him to become
useful, loyal and welcome member OF his
household. This is the purpose Of the Amer
scan;sation movement, to which many individ-
nails and organizations are devoting their Ia
bors and their money. While this movement
h. uniting Uncle Sans house in order for the
immigrant, the government permits its door
Immigrant reaches it what does he ind! First,
unssntary quarters New York health author
ties charge that Ellis island gives the immi-
grant moro germs than he can possibly bring
in. Filth predominates. Drinking water Is
contaminated. There is . wretched shortage
Of toilet facilities The immigrants are herd
. ed like cattle. Many must sleep on floors.
frequently they are held for weeks.
Who's to blame! DR.. Royal s. Copeland,
health commissioner Of New York, says city

working at tho island, blames Walas. Wallis
passes the buck to his saperiors at Washington
and to congress. There may be doubt as to
who's to blame, but there is no doubt about
who should start . housecleaning. That is
clearly Job for congress. And it should be
cleaned up in conjunction with action in pend
irg immigration measures. We have a new
administration in Washington. New brooms
have the reputation of sweeping clean. The
rev administrative broom should houseclean
NOT only Ellis Island but the whole immigra-
ton service. President Harding has Just nom
mated william Walker HasssSd to succeed
Anthony Caminetti as commissioner general Of
immigration.
But more than personnel is involved. There
are fundamental evils ia the system that must
be corrected. Ellis Island must be made
sanitary, wholesome. human-American! These
immigrants. We all hope will become good
American citizens. They should be given such
clean. healthful, kindly and friendly greet

The Daily Short Story

McAlister wisely forbore to men
ton that he had lost other things,
besides. Safe within the right
house, he gazed about him forlorn-
!y.
Dash It! I've no pajamas now"
he grumbled.
His face relaxed in a grin at the
righteousness Of the situation. He
crossed to the window for look at
the house beyond the church. His
astonished gaze focused upon a
girl struggling down the street, a
heavy bag in each hand.
McAlister took the stairs two at
a time, reaching the door just as,
the girl came up the walk.
Ssh! Please don't make any
noise to startle the neighbors," she
begged. softly. And let me try to
explain and apologize before you
say word.
You see, my people are all
away. I'd never stayed alone a
night in my life and all sisters we'd
ding presents were in the room at
the head Of the stairs. l was dream
ing Of burglars when l heard you.
You were there at the door and 1
thought the two bags were full Of
loot. I'm sorry"
Its all right-right as rain" he
assured her. "You must have been
astonished when you opened EN-"
She nodded ruefully.
There was a letter signed Rich
ard Hale in one Of the bags. re-
membered that he once lived in our
house. Then l began to see light.
Can you ever forgive me?"
"Su-r-r-re!" pronounced McAlis-
ter.
A flush Of suppressed mirth ran
up to his curly locks.
Dick didn't tell me they had
moved" he explained. I'D al
ready been in the house once and
back to the station after a bag I
forgot-though l didn't tell Dick. &"
And that was the second time."
she gasped. And your key unlock
ed our door,"
He caught her outfiung hands
and they rocked hack and forth in
spasms of silent laughter.
Don't you ever TELL" she eau
toned. and won't"
Gross my heart!" he promised.
May come to call? I'll bring AL

DO come" she said. my name

ed, meeting the clear young eyes
frankly, Il think I like you"
, my names McAlister, and I
know I like you," was the sturdy
response.
Before he could offer escort the
girl had fed on noiseless feet.
McAlister unpacked swiftly,
throwing a tightly rolled pajama
suit on the bed.
I'm glad to make a connection
between the two Of you," he
grinned. "One time tonight l had
the pajamas and no bed, and again
. bed and no pajamas."
Two strokes Of the church
clock! And. almost Immediately, a
slight snore proclaimed. that Angus
Dugald McAlister was roaming the
worlds dreams with q golden haired
goddess In . pink bathrobe.
