SPEEDING UP
IMM1GRAT
ELLIS ISLAND
NEW YORK, Aug. 11 (by Associat
ed Press).—The slogan of Ellis
Island immigration officials hence
forth is to be: “Speed the incoming
guest—politely.” This decision was
recently announced by Frederick A.
Wallis, newly appointed commissioner
of immigration, after he had played
the role of tn immigrant for one
night and had passed long and tire
some hours on the island waiting for
a barge for New York.
So convinced is Commissioner Wal
lis that immigrants are being need
lessly detained on Ellis Island after
they have been passed into this
country by immigration officials and
that other reforms are urgently need
ed that he intends to move to the
island from his New York home and
devote both day and night to the work.
Officials of the island, according to
Mr. Wallis, are adherents of the
theory that an immigrant’s time is
worth nothing at all.
“I am trying,” Mr. Wallis said, “to
break up the bad habit of detaining
immigrants on Ellis Island after they
have been admitted to the country.
Ever since I took up my duties I
have noticed great flocks of weary
immigrants sitting for hours in the
crowded railroad rooms of the island.
I have found immigrants sitting in
these rooms who had been there all
day long, having passed by our in
spectors early in the morning.
“East night I became an ‘immigrant’
myself and took my place on one of
the benches in the railroad room. It
was a long time before an attendant
announced that a barge had come to
take us to the railroad station. I fell
in with a group that was going to
Weehaken to take a train and some
of them told me they had spent a
long tiresome day in the crowded
rooms.”
In the work of getting the immi
grant through and out of New York
swiftly, Commissioner Wallis will en
list aid of the railroad companies.
“Immigration,” he explained, “no
longer pours itself out into New York
City, or into the crowded metropoli
tan districts of the East. It now flows
out across this big country to smaller
towns; to the mines or mills. It is
highly important for us of the immi
gration service and those working
with us—the railroad people, for ex
ample—to recognize this increasing
tendency and to make as good an im
pression as possible on the incoming
workers.”

Grill and enjoy a prime cup of coffee
and French puff pastry. 20-tf
HEADS SEARED
AS CLIMAX TO
RELIGIOUS VOW
CHANGCHOW, Kiangsu Province,
Aug. 11 (by Associated Press).—Dr.
John Dewey, American exchange pro
fessor at the University of Peking,
visited Changchow' recently in the
course of a mission lecture tour of
China, at a time when the ciy was
observing a holiday and 1,080 Chinese
Buddhists, becoming priests, suffered
holes to be burned into their heads
as a token of religious vow’s.
The holiday was a spontaneous af
fair arranged by a group of devotees
of the Changchow Buddhist monas
tary, then graduating a class of nov
ices in to the priesthood. Chinese
had come from all parts of the country
in response to a call the monastary
sent out. The Buddhists at the same
time honored the victims of the Taip
ing rebellion who were killed 60 years
ago.
The Buddhist ceremony of ordina
tion in China follow's ancient lines
that are barbaric—in the eyes of the
Occidental—and this explains why
the shaven polls of the priests the
traveler meets are marked with deep
pitted scars. The novitate is a matter
of 40 days usually and at its close, as
a climax of the temple ceremony,
upon the shaved heads of line of
kneeling novices are placed lighted
cones of highly inflammable incense.
These sink into the flesh as a chorus
prayer issues from the throats of the
assemblage. Upon the heads of the
most devout—those taking the "full
vow” is placed a circlet of 12 smould
ering incense'heaps.
Of the 1,080 who became priests at
the recent ceremony here, 822 took
the full vow while the others accept
ing lesser orders, were sent forth
'with fewrer scars, some with but one
and the rest from twTo to nine.
Labor Less Efficient
Than in Former Times
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Labor is about 50 per
<jent as efficient as it was in former
times, according to the annual report
of John A. Griffin, city engineer of
Los Angeles, filed recently. This com
ment appeared in the report in ex
planation of the high costs of inspec
tions of public improvements.
Army Seaplane Makes
Quick Round Trip
HONOLULU, Aug 11 (by Associ

back, a distance of 420 miles over
water all the way, in seven hours ac
tual flying time. The plane, Major
John M. Brooks, U. S. A., in command,
maintained a wireless communication
with the home base throughout the
flight.
