No sooner hud tlie emergency restriction law gone into effect tliun confusion arose of a new-sort, with the result that FJlis Island is clogged worse than ever before, with no prospect of relief for a long time to come. In applying the Dillingham law, each nation was given a quota for the present month, with the additional provision that it must not exceed '20 per cent of its total allowance for the year in any succeeding month. The Italians reached their June quota of 2,fi00 on the second day of the new regime, with 12 steam ships in New York harbor waiting to unload their passengers, among whom were at least 5,000 mnre Italians. Many thousands more of the same nationality were on the way over. Several other nationalities are in almost as bad a plight. What is to be done with all those oliens who are tempor arily ineligible! Apparently they must either wait on ship board for weeks or months, until their turn comes for admit tance, or else they must be returned to their native lands, un less Congress enacts a new emergency law. Life in the steerage, on n ship lying at anchor in a hot harbor,, soon becomes intol erable. Ellis Island has no accomodations for the waiting throng. The steamship companies that have brought these aliens over, without regard to the law of the country,-and lire still bringing others, seem primarily responsible. Commissioner . Wallis declares that they should be "fined heavily." He sug gests a fine equal to the average fare paid by the immigrant, which is about $140 apiece. A penalty of that sort might teach the steamship men a well deserved lesson. The nation's im migrant troubles all along have been due largely to their solici tation of passenger traffic regardless of the country's welfare, and their dumping of alien material on our shores has been incomparably worse than any dumping of foreign commodities. The foreign governments, however, have their share of responsibility, and so has the United States government. There has to be teamwork in a case of this kind. It rests with Congress to provide the means of co-operation and for the Executive Department to use them. The immigrants should be sifted at the other end of the route, and only the admissible number of each liotionulilv allowed to come through. TUB MITCHIM6 Rail on THE BAST Sit OF THE MWUMEHf COLLAPSED TODAY-CAUSED BY OLDAfcS AND OVSHWEKSMT FATAL PRAISE FOR SHORT SKIRTS ''The ahiirt-Rkirt and thp charming ly practical costume which luis built itfelf up ai omul it i.i the hmlthimt, tno3 1 beautiful mid most nitUtlc irnwit woman has ever worn." With then woiOa of hltrh praise, Dr. Wooils Hutchinson aerina to an nihilate the lust vi-Htig of criticism of present feminine dress an the scoro of Immodesty or any oilier un becoming quulity. Unquestionably the short skirt is more beautiful than the lung one. It ia recognised us being fni' more hy gienic uj a, Wre ou-ticlu of clothing, and alio as exerting a wholesome in fluence by giving more freedom, and eneoui-nging greater physical activi ty.

There is no question how ever, thut many women do obtain re markably beautiful results with the new mode. It may not be intrinsical ly the mnt . henutiful mode on rec ord, as Dr. Hutchinson maintains. Some critics may prefer the classic dress models of ancient (J recce or lRonie-:f-but it certainly hus lieves that these are a vitnJ asset In the hrond scheme of national defense, and thut lusting benefits will accrue tu the nation and to the Individual from the trainmg provided. He hopes to see over 10100 men from all the state and all walks in life enrolled for the training. The civilian training rnmps during tli war more than proved their value In the benefits to the health of t!. inen who took the training, In the way in which these men endured th" t'.-sts of active service and in the mnn ner in which they were bound tng-ih-cr In a fino and enthusmstic Ame'i CM'Ism. These things would be e ;u-ii. iy true of the civilian camp today it armies ure to be reduced there Is all the more Peed, for a body of trained civilian Veserves to answer the protective needs of their country lit home or abroad if the cull should come. And even if they should never he called into notion, as. is the hope of all humanity, still America will lie just so much better fitted to make greut progress in peace because of these men trained physically and mentally and united In u brotherhood of patriotic service.
