THURSDAY, April 24th, 1924 FOR DEFENDS ELLIS ISLAND LONDON, April 24.—Englishmen who speak in praise of Ellis Island are as scarce as blonde Eskimos. Most Englishmen regard the United States immigration station on that famous isle as the modern counterpart of the Black Hole of Calcutta—only more so. Therefore, when an Englishman who has visited the station and inspected all its arrangements and equipment tells his countrymen that Ellis Island is, on the whole, a decidedly decent place and better in many respects than are some of the public institutions in England, his statements are worth nothing. Rev. Thomas Nightingale, organizing secretary of the National Free-Church Council, is the Briton who has dared to disagree with Sir Auckland Geddes and others of his country who have at times spoken disparagingly of the immigrants' "gateway" to America. Rev. Nightingale spiked the guns of many of the cities by pointing out the reason for much of the criticism. "You have to remember," he declared, "that every immigrant detained at Ellis Island has a grievance. The United States authorities keep them there for a variety of reasons—health, immigration papers not in order, or that the quota has been exhausted. Some of them probably do not understand for what reasons they are being detained." "Take any place in London, and if everybody who was there had a grievance, whatever the conditions, there would be pandemonium." Concerning sanitary conditions at Ellis Island, Rev. Nightingale spoke favorably. OHIO METAL WORKER A VICTIM Ray K. Ball, Huron, Ohio, was a victim of coughs and colds. Both he and his sister suffered with it but found "absezy relief" to their use of FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND, the old favorite cough remedy.

FAMOUS HOSTELRY SAVED FROM WAVES NEW YORK, April 24.—The Brighton Beach hotel, famous haunt of leading sportsmen of past generation and twice saved from the ceaseless wearing of the waves by an engineering feat that attracted nation-wide attention, is to be replaced by a new $5,000,000 hotel and convention hall. The Brighton Beach hotel was built in 1878 by the Brooklyn Flatbush & Coney Island railroad. Subsequently it passed into the hands of the B. R. T. The old hostelry enjoyed its greatest reputation when racing was at its height, and great crowds were drawn into the famous dining room and unto the promenade. Its music room was occupied by some of the famous bands of the country. But with the decline of racing here its patronage declined. Then came other troubles. With its continual pounding the ocean dug into the hotel's foundation and threatened to topple the structure into the surf. Twice the hotel was pulled back from the shore and that first time it was hailed as one of the fine feats of engineering of the time. That was in 1897. A team of locomotives hauled the rambling frame building back 500 feet. Again in 1903 the ocean threatened and again the bulding was pulled back, this time 200 feet. Then jetties were built to save the beach and it is now believed there will be no further encroachments. JAPANESE DENY PACT WITH FRANCE TOKIO, April 24.—Cognizance was taken today by the French embassy of persistent reports of the negotiation of a Franco-Japanese pact. It was stated at the embassy that the reports probably have arisen from a forthcoming visit to Japan of Governor General Merlin of French Indo-China. OHIO METAL WORKER A VICTIM Kay S. Ball, Huron, Ohio, was a victim of coughs and colds. Both he and his sister suffered with the use of FOLEYS HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND, the old favorite cough remedy. His writings: "I have found FOLEYS HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND, most excellent remedy for coughs and colds. My sister had a severe cold and cough a year ago and found speedy relief in FOLEYS HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND."

Those precious moments wasted while she curled her golden hair an’ I set in the parlor on her Dad’s best hairstyle chair! The young folks of this day age don’t do like that at all there aren’t a second wasted when their young buck comes to call. Her father meets him at the door an’ sez, “Good evenin’ Joe.” “The daughter’s upstairs dollin’ up. Come hear my radio.” Since Joe’s a wireless bug himself of course he doesn’t care how long it takes his sweetie when there’s some thin’ on the air. Those early courtin’ days of mine were not at all like these when I sat in the parlor with the album on my knees. That precious red plush heirloom with its unsmiling faces once answered for the purpose that the Radio replaces. Where I once memorized the name of all know where he can get good programs on her father’s Radio. Sometimes while I wuz waitin’ my prospective father-in-law would ask me what he ought to get per ton fer hay an’ straw, er we’d discuss the weather just to keep up conversation on Wednesday nights an’ Sunday nights without much variation.

Native Americans think they know it all in health matters and, therefore, do not rear babies as well as do foreigners, according to Senator Royal S. Copeland, formerly health commissioner of New York City. "Foreign-forn women in New York's slums," he said, "rear a larger percentage of babies than do women living in the fashionable sections." The reason, Senator Copeland said, is that American men and women do not profit by the information medical research has made available for them. "They think," he said, "that they already know all about everything and will not follow expert advice. The foreign-born woman literally cuts up information and follows advice given to her by the health and baby clinics." "They lose only fifty babies in a thousand. The women in fashionable neighborhoods lose seventy in a thousand."

In infected areas there is no need that feeds so persistently long infected cattle as the blackbird," it is said. "Birds have seen walking in and around my sick animals so that if we are willing to accept circumstance evidence, these birds could readily carry the virus on their feet and, since it is their habit to move from one field to another, there is a possibility that they are carriers of the disease." The commission, however, does endorse slaughter of blacks on the ground that there are "feasible methods." Turkey buzzards are carrioners and have been seen feeding on animals that have died of hoof and mouth disease. The commission maintains there two dangers to be considered in control measures; the danger of driving the buzzards into streets free from the disease and added risk of contagion precluded by hunters detailed to carrot control measures. GERMAN FINANCIER KILLED IN WRECK BERLIN, April 24.—Karl Helferich, financier and leader of the German nationalists, and his mother were killed in the train wreck near Bellinzona, according to advises from Lagano today. The German consul at Lugano confirmed the deaths. An unconfirmed report was circulated here that Dr. Schacht, president of the German Reichsbanks was among the victims. German dispatches said that there were four American tourists on the Lucerne express and two on the Milan express, the two trains that crashed head-on. It is understood the Americans escaped injury. The dead are now estimated at 15 and the injured at 29. Thirteen of the 20 are in serious condition. LEAVES $12,000 ESTATE The $12,000 estate of the late Mrs. Marie Zerbe, who died in Ontario April 9, will go to an adopted son in New York and to other relatives in Europe. It was shown in papers on file in the superior court today. "Organized efforts to kill buzzards should be so planned that few, if any, escape and so that those concerned in the killing act with due regard to quarantine." Reveries Years To Censure Flappers NEW YORK, April 24.—Three hundred boys and girls in their 'teens rose and cheered Rev. Dr. W. E. J. Grantz, Epworth League secretary of Chicago, when the preacher said they were paragons and decried the practices of their elders in using paint and powder and dressing to the extreme of fashion. "Let us reverse the numerals," said Dr. Gratz. "Don't find fault with the girls of 14, 15 or 16. I want to speak of the flappers of 41, 51 and 61. "If they would repent of their sins, wash off their paint and dress decently and come and kneel at the altar, they would have no trouble with the boys and girls." The youthful audience had come prepared to hear a severe lecturer. Dr. Gratz was in Newark as delegate to a Methodist conference and the junior church members were crestfallen on hearing the minister had a message which he especially desired to address to them.
