THE J^-RY PLAIW^EE, McHEXRT, nx. " '* iPfM|fl Majority of Ellis Island Arrivals |g4V j Drawn to Industrial Centers W by Higher Wages. . B1SH 60 TO NORTHWEST Yjtamen and Children Predominate-- Work Increased by New Laws Gov- *:•/ " erning Alien*--Europe Loath % to Let Them Go. 4 ^New York.--The stream of Immigration flowing through Ellis island has been noticeably deflected from New York city to inland centers during the last twelve months, and officials give . thte as one explanation for the fact that the city's 1920 census was only 8,621.121 instead of the 6,100,000 expected. * Official statistics regarding the destination of arriving aliens are sent to Washington to be tabulated and digested. For this reason destination figures for the last twelve months were not available. 'One who most closely watches alien arrivals is J. F. Rowe, official money changer. He is quick to notice any unusual movement in the flow of Immigration. To the Manufacturing Centera. Mr. Rowe asserted that money exchanged for immigrants whose destination is New York city does not amount to 1 per cent of the amount exchanged for those giving other parts as their destination. "In former years," said Mr. Rowe, "immigrants poured into New York city by the hundreds of thousands. They are now going to manufacturing centers such as Pittsburgh, Detroit and Akron, Ohio, or to the coal and iron mining regions. "For the most part those arriving here now were in America before, the war, and are acquainted with the conntry and attracted to sections where the best wages are paid. Before the war a majority of the arrivals had only hazy Ideas as to where they were going or what wages they were to receive. "Another Interesting fact; is the change of location of some of the races. Not so many years ago most of the Irish arrivals flowed into Massachusetts or scattered along the North Atlantic seaboard. Now they are going into Oregon. It Is noticeable, too, that more* aliens are going to California than ever before." In January 24,900 aliens arrived here; February. 22,000; March, 29,000; April, 36,000; May, 40,000, and in June np to and including the 19th, 31,000. Superintendent Baker of Ellis island said this immigration was made up mostly of women, children and returning reservists. These latter are mostly Italians, and the figures for this month will show that most of those who left America to fight for Italy have returned. The fact that no great number of male aliens is arriving here does not mean a lack of desire to come to America, the immigration officials say. Rather It means that European governments are not willing to further«deplete the male adult population by allowing it to emigrate. The Intending emigrant is finding it difficult to get passports under the new immigration laws. Also ship accommodations are harder to obtain. Before the war from four to five thousand aliens arrived at this port each day, or about 150,000 a month. Notwithstanding the falling off in arrivals, however, Superintendent Baker said the work probably increased. This Is because of the changes in the law. Not only do arriving aliens have to pass examinations as to moral and physical fitness, but they must pass * Bridegroom, Only 105, ' on Belated Honeymoon San Jose. Cal.--Charles H.

But he saw workmen busily rearranging the turf-setting. "Ach," he remarked, with pompous Joy. "They cannot long deny themselves German art. They will pnt back the statue of the great kaiser. That Is good!" "On the contrary," a native Metzian intruded. "We are going to Install American art. An AmericaA sculptor's ' statue of Lafayette will replace the over-rated kaiser. That is better!" Dr. Knecht says nothing of the Teuton's confusion but adds that the citizens of Metz are planning a gala day for the unveiling of the K. of C. ataxia of Lafayette next August. " i v. RAIDS NET FORTUNE IN BOOZE Gallons, Worth $1,000^00^ lised In New England Since January 1. Boston.--Federal prohibition agents In New England have seized more than 35,000 gallons of liquor and alcohol, valued at $1,000,000, in raids conducted since January 1, according to William J.

SPECIAL SEATSJffl WOMEN Only the Very Old Men Rash Enough to Sit Down in the Same Car %eat With a Turkish Woman- Leaders Educated. Constantinople.--Turkish women are no longer the shy, veiled creatures who passed their time In the seclusion of the harem and were never seen by foreign men. They still cling to the velL But the streets in Constantinople and other larger Turkish cities are filled with women who have their veils thrown back from their faces. They are highly ornamental and becoming. Most Turkish women don't want to abandon them in favor of hats. But. there are many sorts of veils and the smart, black silk veils which some of the women wear - are very fetching when draped artistically over their hair. Car Seats for Women. In the railway and street cars there are special seats for women, but the flimsy curtains which are supposed to screen them from the, gaze of men are usually drawn back and it is not uncommon to see men standing in the compartments for women. Only very ojd men, however, are rash enough to sit down in the same seat with a Turkish woman. Turkish women seldom go to a theater where there are men. Special matinees and evening performances are arranged for women only. Hie war has done much to break down the barrier between Turkish men and women. The women were needed so badly as nurses and relief workers that the government had to avail Itself of their services. And now It Is regarded as quite proper for men and women to be associated in all sorts of charitable and educational works. Consequently many women who were formerly forced to content themselves with seclusion in a home where tanGf work and French novels were the only diversions are devoting their time to hospitals, orphanages and other philanthropic Institutions. Educated Women Leaders. Women who have been educated abroad or in the foreign schools in Turkey are the leaders in this movement for greater, freedom for their sex. Their broad experience In wai work has Interested many women in politics, and they have openly played a great part In the nationalist movement. In the Constantinople American Woman's college the Turkish girls take great interest In basketball and other athletic games, and the effect upon women who have come under foreign influence is making the old life of seclusion and inactivity unattractive to younger Turkish women. * Fj»k Wg HarTOrw :: ~ Eyes ami Two Snouts \: Rochester, N.

Wearing a face of the deepest gloom, the owner of the stately home escorted his caller throughout the place. The visitor was admiring and enthusiastic, but the host said little or nothing. When the inspection was finished and the two had returned to the library on the first floor, the visitor said: "Well, Jim, you certainly can't say that you haven't everything that you want."
