After Tolstoy and Flaubert. the

Especially interesting is the discus

attains the effect of time.

JEWISH IMMIGRANTS OF A HIGH
GRADE TYPE
DR.. Jonas Constas Reports to the De-
partment of Labor on Con-
ditiOns Abroad

There have been lately so many
attacks upon immigrants and partic-
ularly upon Jewish Immigrants, that
it is refreshing to find a report in
praise of the newcomers.
Some months ago, the Hon. James
j. Davis, Secretary of Labor, commits
stoned DR.. John Constas, well-known
physician, to investigate conditions
abroad. DR.. Constas has just re-
turned to this country and has sub
mitted report to Secretary Davis on
Conditions in certain European
countries as affecting immigration to
the United States" We give here be-
low some excerpts from that inter-
esting report:
Gin Germany was exceedingly i'm
pressed with the great desire on the
part of large number of young men
to come to this country. Most of
them seem to be of very high grade
type, especially the German and Rus
sian Jew. Most of us will acknowl-
edge that this class make good citi-
zens and are an asset to the COM
munity."
It will be noticed DR.. Constas re-
fers to the Jewish immigrant in quite
a different tone than adopted by Ken
meth Roberts and Lillian Russell.
Discussing the question of distri-
button of immigrants, DR.. Constas
says:
"Much thought has been devoted to
the question of the distribution of
immigrants who arrive in this coun-
try and suggestions have been made
to distribute them throughout differ
ent sections of the country according
to their respective vocations. My in
innate contact with this body of peo-
pie forces the conviction upon me that
such method of distribution cannot
be made practical, for the simple rea-
son that most of the immigrants COM
ing to this country have relatives or
friends, with whom they have kept in
touch previous to their departure
from the old country, and naturally
their desire is to be near them. They
therefore choose as their homes the
section of the country in which they
are located and engage in work there
or establish their business there"
The report concludes with this
Characterization of the literacy test:
81 am also of the opinion that the
existing literacy test excludes persons
who are especially skilled in the
various arts and trades"

plans for still greater development
and progress during this coming

Movement of Fashion Is
Now Toward the Classic
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

New clothes tumble on the public like
a cascade. 1t is hard 20 catch the breath
In trying to get their details, Nothing
is revolutionary. Nothing startles or
frightens or repels But there is q
chance, subtle, forceful, but not sinister.
Some say the movement Is more def
initely toward the classic than II was
last year. Others think that the Slavic
movement will win. The confident re-
vival OF the Moyen Age, however, has
singular Importance.
There are certain features OF the
clothes OF the Middle Ages that we have
not done for a long time, and they win
present an effect of novelty. coming as
they do against the outburst OF Russian
and Grecian styles.
Here are the features that are ac-
centuated and can be utilized In modern
clothes because the public will accept
long skirts; they were not possible with
short skirts. Drapery at the hips. for
one thing, is accentuated by every house
In Paris until the mind and the eye get
familiar with that movement of fabric.
The folds which constitute the drapery
run directly across the abdomen and
the end of the spine. The folds are
brought together on one hip, and are
held there by an immense ornament into
which the dressnaker or the jeweler has
put art and imagination.
Another Moyen Age feature is the pet
ticoat OF soft metallic cloth. the facing
OF metallic cloth which shows where the
gown Is opened at the side. The square

Another Moyen Age feature Is the long

These are put in afternoon az well as
