ahead of his intention, it fell to Mr..

conductor
The seasons final bombardment of
flowers for Miss Farrar had been we'll
organized by her admirers. After the

q shower that rained from all parts of
the house, and other bouquets were
tossed over the footlghts during the
numerous curtain calls after each act.
With the absence of Caruso from the
opera house the farewell week has been

There were more flowers at the end
OF the opera. and it was not until the
supply was nearly exhausted that the
singer allowed herself to be coaxed into
the usual and expected speech. This
assumed the tone of an official an

who will gut out the JAZZ and talk
sense. You see, kind friends, some
day, after we have graduated and
made good in our respective lines,
we've got to look around for a wife,
and, Heavens! what will we do if the
girls don't reform?
"When you consider the waste mo-
tions for which that powder-puff is re-
sponsible is it any wonder that we fear
that the powder-puR swinger' will
have little time for cookery and other
emphatic needs Of the domicile?
"It is a far cry to the Fiji Islands,
but if positjvenly necessary, we can.
in the dim future, after graduation
go there in search of a wife.
Plea Made in Verse
an framing this plea, let it be un-
derstood that there is nothing personal
about it, and that we have no particu-
lar girl in mind. We ?. NJ. c. cadets
come from north, east, south and west,
and therefore we can safely say the
problem is national in it's scope. We
humbly petition for reform, and crys-
talize our feelings in bit of verse,
Taps on the Modern Girl so ably
penned by Cadet Phil Buxton, Of Mas
sachusetts.
Little girl como show your face.
A mask like that cant take it's place,
Your tweasers and your powder pun.
To college boys Just bluff
Don't weed your brow with gardeners care,
Or frizz your bangs and chop your hair
Although these things quite the rage,
Their only place is on the stage
Girls OF to-day, have done with these,
Then you can smile with greater ease,
SO lay the puff upon the shelf,
And be your own sweet little self.
Maybe lot of fellows IN other col
leges feel the way we do about it, and
if so we ought to get together and
organize. It's a worthy bit of propa
ganda, and concerns every chap who
may some day pay q marriage license

Davis Applies
"Heart Sense
At Ellis Island
Cabinet Labor Chief Cuts
Red Tape at Station in
Which 40 Years Ago He
Was Poor Immigrant Lad
Saves Widow and Family
Halts Deportation of Pretty
Polish Gil; Will Have
Mercy Temper Justice

Forty years ago an immigrant boy
eight years old. from Tredegar, Wales
passed wistfully through the old immi.
grafton station at Castle Garden to the
land of opportunity which was to ac-
cord him high public honors in later
life.
Yesterday this boy, James J. Davis
rtw Secretary of Labor, stood among
the immigrant throngs at the Ellis
Island station. He was making the first
of series of inspections in general
survey of immigration stations on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, for the pur-
pose, he said, of improving the service
"along common sense and heart sense
lines"
Secretary Davis was not long in put
ting the "heart sense" idea into ee-
feet. He severed The red tape which
would have deported yesterday widow
and her four little children and a
pretty Polish girl of nineteen years.
He ordered that an appealing Span
stowaway, clad in rags and wearing
broken shoes, from which his bare feet
protruded, be outhtted
Finds Much to Praise
The common sense" Secretary Davis
displayed in recommending several
changes which he believed would bet
ter conditions at Ellis Island. although
he said he found 'much to praise and
little to condemn. in spite OF COM
plants made in the past" The i'm
provements which Secretary Davis
favors are renovation, where it is re-
quired; the establishment of a delous-
ing department and a plan whereby
radicals will not be sent to Ellis Island
until the eve of their deportation.
1t is understood that Secretary Davis
also favors an extension of the labor
bureau to Europe in order that prospec-
tive immigrants may be hand picked"
before they are permitted to come here,
and thus eliminate the problem of hav-
ing to send back those who fail to meet
the requirements of the immigration
law.
"I can remember my arrival almost
as if it were yesterday" said Secre-
tary Davis reminiscently, as he gazed
ABOUT the vast registration room.
Do the Human Thing
My idea is that the first impression
of the immigrant is the lasting one.
believe the immigration service should
be such that it will inspire those who
come here to an immediate appreciation
of the possibilities offered them under
the American government. My policy
in the conduct of the department is to
comply with the law and at the same
time do the human thing"
The immigrants to whom Secretary
Davis's visit proved boon were Mrs
Maria Koch, her four children. Eliza
beth, Johan, Rosina and Maria, and
Miss Rochel Ficke. Secretary Davis
happened to be in the room of the
board of special inquiry when the cases
were being heard. Jacob Weintraub,
a lawyer, was informing the board that
sister of Mrs. Koch, living in Ohio.
had agreed to adopt the family, which
had been ordered depor.ed on the
ground it might become public
charge. The board announced the
order of deportation had been issued
