Most American newspapers are not
proud of the position in which the
Government was placed by the deten-
ton of the Countess of Cathcart at
Ellis Island when she sought to enter
the United States. 1t is true, as the
Lyhchburg News points out, that the
countess was not banned by the immi-
grafton authorities because she was a
Divorce, as the press abroad seems to
assume, but as a result of her own
admission of acts involving moral
turpitude. Yet there Is quite a general
feeling that the action was unneces-
sary and laid this country open to the
charge Of inconsistent prudery.
"If the countries of Europe were to
adopt retaliatory measures says the
Buffalo Evening News. IF they were
to review all Americans who came to
their shores on the score of moral
turpitude, not a few travellers from
this side of the Atlantic would find
themselves in the same situation as
the Countess of Cathcart. It may de-
velop that the United States has initi-
ated a movement for the framing Of
duct"
What is more, in the view of the Bal
timore Sun, 'if other nations follow
suit, no traveller will ever know when
he may be numbered among the de-
portable class; the opportunity pre-
scented to make trouble for innocent
persons. as well as to disturb friendly
international relations, is obvious"

What, for instance" asks the Pas
sale Daily Herald might happen to
the former president of one of the big
geSt of New York'S banks who cross
ed to Paris after a reconciliation with
his wife? Or to many others?" The
Cincinnati Times-Star follows up this
thought with the suggestion. "Whv
not call it quits and trade the Still
mans for Craven and the Cathcart?
Europe took the Stillmans off our
hands and so long as Europe keeps
the Stillmans we ought not to make
such a fuss over the presence of a
couple of turpitudinous young per-
sons"
The immigration gates that often,
all too freely, swing inward to admit
hootleggers and gunner and interna-
tional crooks of high degree" declares

How is your automatic virtue
machine working, Mary?' asked Olga
o. dropping In one afternoon to see
the popular Miss Rogue at her office
In the Essary Building.
Miss O claimed to have the shortest
last name in Washington, If not In the
! world. she was of French and Rus
sian descent, pointing back with pride
to Count DO of France, as one of her
ancestors.
Since the gallant days of Henri III
the family had dropped the ID" with
the result that a unique patronymic OF
one letter resulted.
Mary Rogue smiled at the question
put her by the dashing, darkeyed
friend, a typical "fapper" of the worst
Or beSt-tYpe, according to the way
one happened to feel upon the ques
ton.
Look" said Mary, pointing behind
huge sheet Of cardboard, which was
leaned back against the window sill
This was the virtue machine" as
Olga called it. 1t bore on It's face "a
pictured boxes, each one labeled in
beautiful lettering with the name of
some desirable quality, such as Hon
esty," Kindness" Hope"
Each word had q number, ranging
from l to 5, and below each was a
small slot. Mary's machine had grown
famous almost overnight. Nickels had
rained through the openings, as pa
irons and friends sought the qualities
invoked by the apparatus
Look" said Mary.
Olga o stopped down and peered into
the tent formed by the cardboard and
the wall.
Gee" she gurgled. Look at all
them nickels"
Your grammar. my dear" smiled
Mary. would shock your distin-
guished ancestors"
What grammar"
You said them nickels.' Olga"
Did L? Well. those nickles, then,
But where did you get them all? For
heavens sake, there must be a million
there,'
Mary's beautiful face, calm as
peace, flushed with pleasure.
Well, you see," she explained.
Every one who has come in has been
taken with the idea. or course. there
are not million nickels, but there
must be some hundreds OF them now.
Every one seems to be in need of
something, 80 they think 1t over and
then drop in their money"
And do they think they get their
moneys worth, Maryf"
Yes. and they get lot of fun out
OF 1t. too. which Is thrown In extra,
of course
Mary Rogue smiled her famous
smile. that struck one as the sun
shine does. warming body and soul
Looks like graft to me-" giggled
Olga o. sitting down In a most I'M
dignified posture on one OF Mary's
Windsor chairs.
Olga, none of your ancestors ever
sat So" demonstrated the hostess.
Mary" continued Olga. ignoring
the comment, ''since l have been
looking at that machine, l believe
there is something 1 need, too"
"Yes?"
Yes, I honestly believe 1 need a
saucer of that Prudence dope you've
got there" She fished in her net
purse. But why do you charge SO
much-5 nickels, that's robbery"
why, any one can have a little
prudence, Olga, that is why 1t costs
the most The qualities hardest to Sc
cure cost the least, you see. as we
are most in need of them"
Olga o dropped in her coins, one
by one.
How do you like it?" inquired
Mary.
Not much taste to it," grinned
Olga, with wry smile.
