United States Public Health
Officials Explain Heart
MaIady of Aliens.

Following the request of New York
attorneys that Federal Judge Knox
inquire into the unusual number of
Irish immigrants recently rejected
because of heart trouble, it was said
by officials of the Public Health SerV-
ice here, which examines aliens en-
tering the United States, that the alb
normally high heart disease rate
found among these applicants was
probably due to local conditions eX-
listing in Ireland since 1914.
These conditions, it was explained,
brought about prolonged fatigue and
extreme muscular effort, which re-
suits in cardiac affections. Another
cause is found in the condition of the
applicants teeth.
English, Too. Rejected.
Public health officials pointed out
that discrimination against Irish i'm
migrants as class was extremely
unlikely, since many of the health
service examiners are themselves of
Irish descent. Immigrants from Eng
land. too, they added. are being re-
Jected because of heart troubles the
climate of the British Isles being par
tlcularly conducive of tonsilitis and
its aftermath, rheumatism with re-
Sultlng strains on the heart.
immigration officials here expressed
tuS OplHlOH lHdI many oil these cases
might be due to excitement of arrival
and anxiety as to admittance Sew
eral young Irishmen have been ad-
mitted temporarily under bond re-
Gently, and the immigration service
has been ordered to continue this
practice pending informal exchange
between the Government bureaus con-
cerned.
Some of the Irish immigrants thus
admitted were declared to have pass
ed almost perfect physical examina-
tions after having been in the country
a short time. Public health officials
pointed out, however that at least
two physicians of the service must
sign the. physical examination certifi-
cate, and do so with the probability
that they may be called upon to de-
fend their diagnosis in court

RACHEL

ONE of the loveliest of Biblical
- names is Rachel, meaning eve.
The first Rachel was the daughter-in-
law of Rebekah. The aspirate in the
middle of her name is more softly
marked where, in the prophet, Jere-
miah, her descendants, the Benjamite
women, who dwelt around her early
grave at Bethlehem, are spoken of as
"Rahel weeping for her children be-
cause they are not" and are assured
that they shall come again to their
own border.
But she is Rachel again where
Saint Matthew shows the mothers of
Bethlehem weeping over their lambs.
Dante made Fantica Rachele with her
beautiful eyes, the type OF heavenly
contemplation, ever gazing at the mir
ror that reflected heavenly glory, but
her name was not popular although
the Manx princess, Africa, was thus
translated upon her marriage with
Somerled, lord of the isles, some
where about the Eleventh century.
The Puritan days loved the sound
of the word and that sweet saint

whence they fetch their tricks; but If
they play thus when the seas are high
and tumbled it Is a sign of fair and
calm weather." The common belief
now is, however, that the wind pre-
dicted by shoal of porpoises will
come from the direction the fishes take
when they depart.
The porpoise gets its reputation as
weather breeder from its ancient
connection with the moon and, which
is the same thing, with the moon-god-
dess Isis. And as he was connected
with Isis, so was he, consequently,
represented as connected with the
other and later moon-goddess identi-
fed with the great Egyptian original.
The moon was always supposed to
control the weather and in the Greek
myth Amphitrfte, who rose from the
sea and was given a certain power
over the winds of the sea, had two dol
phins to guard her by order of Posei-
don (Neptune). Gubernatis says, 1.-THE
Dolphin that watches over Amphitrite
is the same as the dolphin, the spy
of the sea, or the moon, the spy of the
nocturnal and misty sky" Through all
mythology we find the dolphin-or por-
the moon and Isis, the
great moon-goddess, was the especial
patroness Of navigation.

PoRPoIsE AND WEATHER

yKYHILE the true porpoise and the
w true dolphin differ slightly from
each other they are SO nearly alike
that the names are practically inter-
changeable and in superstition they
figure as enc and the same. Sailors
saw that when shoal of porpoises
come sporting about ship 1t Is
sign of coming windstorm. This
superstition can be traced far back
into classic times and is, indeed, OF
much more ancient origin than the
days of Pliny who records the belief.
Legend and mythology are full of tales
of the mystic qualities of the dolphin
and the porpoise and formerly, as now.
the names appear interchangeable.
Though sailors look upon the por-
poise as the harbinger Of wind, prob
ably of a high wind, they do not re-
gard the fish as bringing bad luck. On
the contrary, as rule, the appearance
of a school of porpoises Is regarded as
a favorable sign. Some sailors regard
the porpoise as an indication of a
change in the weather merely and
agree in effect with the old writer
Wilsford who says, "Dolphins in fair
and calm weather pursuing one an
other in one of their waterish pastimes
foreshadow winds and from the part

became the wife of Varuhagen Won
Ense With the exception Of the two

without diminutive or contraction. It

But they took it all in as was clearly
to be shown afterward when Mildred
found out what they knew.
They learned to spell and to write a
little and to recite and to do simple
sums.
Lessons kept up until eleven o'clock
and then they all had oranges.
They cut the oranges in quarters
so they would last longer, though
sometimes as special treat they had
an extra meal of orange-juice.
They called eleven o'clock "orange
time"
When the clock struck eleven they
would get up-sonetimes right in the
middle Of sentence-and say:
"Orange time!"
They always stopped on the very
stroke of orange time" just as they
always began right on time, too.
Alice found lessons rather hard but
she would say:
when l grow up it won't matter
as I shall be wonderful circus rider.
mo one ever stops circus rider
to say:
elbow much does two-and-two
maker"
That thought used to comfort her
great deal when she couldn't get her
lessons right.
But she tried to learn as much as
she could as she wanted to be able
to read her own name and what they
said about her when the big signs
would go up in the different towns to
tell the people that Madame Alice,
the famous rider, would be in town
on the eighteenth, nineteenth and
twentieth.
'When you come to the circus you
shall come free" Alice told Mildred.
That made Mildred very much
pleased and it would be great help,
too.
She would be able to go to the
circus each day and not worry over
the expense.
No one could ever have enough
money to pay to go to the circus three
times in succession, but she would
be able to go free.
So, each morning they studied, and
the dolls looked on and listened so
they could repeat the lessons later.
But the best time of all was orange
time" when the clock struck eleven
and lessons were over and it was
time to eat.
That was the best time of all.
They had decided that right away
and they hadn't changed their opinions
since!

FACING FACTS

THEY were discussing summer
= plans, that first spring Mrs. King
met Mrs. Hope, and comparing dates
of sailing and itineraries abroad Mrs.
Hope was such a bright, interested
conversationalist that Mrs. King took
a fancy to her Immediately, and they
arranged quite definitely to meet in
Paris, shop together and stay at the
same hotel. Three months later Mrs.
King was, therefore. much disap-
pointed to find no Mrs. Hope. On her
return in the autumn she solicited an
explanation. Mrs. Hope looked vague.
Then she said:
''Oh, yes, did think I'd get to Eu-
rope last summer; it all depended on
the market; we had great expectations
of certain stock, you see, and then
things went the other way and had
to stay at home"
1t was Mrs. Hope who first intro
duced Mrs. King to mail order cata-
logues. She called one day to find her
friend surrounded by huge volumes
the size of telephone books.

that you can write for plumbing and

.But you don't want bathtub, do
you?" Mrs. King asked. "And you
know you couldn't put it in Yourself"
"Then one day mutual friend said ::
Isn't it too bad about the Hopes?
They have gradually lost about every
thing they have. It's hard shedding to
get along at all"
A few hours later Mrs. King ran into
Mrs. Hope at the automobile show.

paused in front of a high-powered car
whose price ran into the thousands,
Mrs. Hope began to ask advice about

she had heard proved false, Mrs.
King left her, hoping that the new ac-

In such a manner, but Of course no one

so her mother blamed her for leaving
such an untidy room.
But the truth Of it was that when
the clock struck the, magic hour the
night before Calico Cat, who was
leaning against Jack-in-a-Box doing,
felt sharp tap on her nose; it was
the cover of Jacks box which sud-
denly flew open when the clock struck.
But this Calico Cat did not know.
She saw Little Dog on Wheels close
by and thinking he was to blame for

ORANGE TIME

Mildred was not old enough yet to
go to school but she had lessons at
home.
Every morning at half-past nine
Mildred and her mother and little
friend named Alice did lessons to-
gether.
Mildred's mother taught and the
other two studied.
Mildred's dolls sat up on the sofa
at lesson time and learned all they
could.
1t was wonderful how much they
learned.
They learned all that Mildred
learned.
After lessons were over Mildred
would, ask Gyp, the dog, a question,
and Gyp would answer in little
squeaky voice the right answer every
time.
To be sure Gyp was only a little
dog filed with straw and sawdust
but he understood even If Mildred
had to speak for him.
1t was Mildred's voice which an
swered the question but it was what
Gyp wanted to say. Mildred simply
spoke for him in the very tone in
which he would have spoken had he
been able to use words.
The big cloth cat could recite the
alphabet and could spell his own
name, too!
Mildred thought that was very
smart.
And the rag doll could recite quite
a little poetry.
Of course during lesson time they
didn't speak. They only listened.

as Little Dog was, for Calico Cat did
not let any one contradict her.
And that was the reason the next
morning when the little mistress came
to the playroom that her mother
scolded her for not picking up her
TOYS when she finished playing with
them, for the toys talked so long, each
telling how it started to run, that the
sun was streaming in the window be-
fore they had time to get back in their
places.
And expect many little girl never
dreams what happened in the night in
the playroom when she finds all of her
toys strewn about the floor in the
morning.
