The stream of Immigra tion flowing through Ellis Island has been nollcenbly deflected from New York city to Inland centers during the last twelve months, and officials give this as ono oxnlanntlon for the fact that the clt.v's 1020 census was only fi,021,m Instead of the (1,100,000 ex pected.

TURKISH WOMEN BREAK CUSTOMS No Longer Shy, Veiled Creatures, but Work With Men in Many Lines. SPECIAL SEATS FOR WOMEN Only the Very Old Men Rash Enough to Sit Down In the Same Car Seat With a Turkish Woman Leadero Educated. Constantinople. Turkish women are no longer the shy, veiled creatures who passed their time In the seclusion of (lit) harem and were never seen by foreign men. They still cling to the veil. Hut the streets In Constantinople '""" ther larger Turkish cities are H"''1 with women who have their veils thrown back from their faces. Tiiey are highly ornamental anil becoming, Most Turkish women don't want to abandon them In favor of hats. Hut there are many sorts of veils ami the smart, blnck Hk veils which some of the women wear are very tetchlng l when draped artistically over their liulr. Car Seats for Women. In the railway anil street cars there are special seats for women, but the flimsy curtains which are supposed to screen them from tin gaze of men an usually drawn back and It Is not tin- common to see men standing In the Tho men Involved In these crimes were engaged In the task of handling claims of ox-soldlers for compensation. The melhod employed, us reported by the secret service, was substantially as follows: A soldier, presenting bis claim In per son, was advised by one of the con spirators who handled It that he was entitled to-$200 or $1100. At the same time the employee denounced the fact that tho award was so small. Taking the matter under further consideration, he told tho claimant thnt he thought ho would he able (o put through an award for a greater amount, but that, of course, he would want to share in the excess payment. The claimant agreeing, a check for the larger-amount was made out. The truth was that- tho soldier was entl tie.) to the larger amount and to the full proceeds of the check. fho cottage Is a palace to the poor. of President D. Adolfo tie In Iluorta. Mill.

Her four-year-old son was astride a bhieksnake more than three feet In length, and his sis ter, Cladys, three years old, was striking the snake on the bend with a switch. The youngsters were laughing, and the woman said the snake seemed to be contented. The reptile glided away at sight of the mother. RAIDS NET FORTUNE IN BOOZE 35,000 Gallon, Worth $1,000,000, Seized In New England Since January 1. lioston. Federal prohibition agents In New England have seized more I ban H."i,000 gallons of liquor and alco hol, valued at $1,000,000. in raids con ducted since January I, according to William J. McCarthy, federal prohibl tlon enforcement agent for this sec tion. In addition, thousands of gallons of beer containing more than half of 1 per cent alcohol have been confis cated. The liquor is stored In eight ware houses here awaiting removal to Washington. , compartments for women, only very old men. however, are rash enough to sit down In the same seat with a Turk ish woman. Turkish women seldom go to a theater where there are men. Special matinees and evening perform ances are arranged 'for women only. The war bus done much to break down the barrier between Turkish men nntl women. The women were needed so badly as nurses ami relief workers that the government had to avail It self 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 fancy work and French novels were the only diversions art1 devoting their time to hospitals, orphanages and other phil anthropic Institutions. Educated Women Leaders. Women who have been educated abroad or In the'' foreign schools In Turkey are the leaders In this move nient for greater freedom for their sex. Their broad experience In wat Work has interested many women in politics, and tho.v. have openly played a great part In the nationalist move ment. In the Constantinople American Woman's college the Turkish girls take great Interest In basketball mid other athletic games, and the ell'ect upon women who havo come under for eign influence is making the old life of seclusion und Inactivity unatlnn five to younger Turkish women. CHEROKEE BILL'S AGE 123 Fouaht With Bow and Arrow Against British in 1812 Enlisted at Fifteen. C.rand Junction, Col.Cheroke Hill, veteran of the plain mid tiler In the war of 1S12, has Just cel- nrated tits one hundred and twenty intrti niriiiiiay at the county (m, Here, Cherokee 15111 Is the only name In knows. In the early days he fought witn now ami arrow with the ahorlg lues and even used that primitive weapon, he says, when he fought the British In 1812.

The aged Indian recently made a cap for himself out of the down of cattails, and wears this proudly when he hobbles along the streets with tho aid of a cuue ho has owned since the Civil war. 1 Figures obtained by the United States department of agriculture In connection with the Investigation of the use of inrtor trucks by fanners Indicate that the rate at which eastern fanners have been adding motor trucks to their farm equipment has Increased mpldly during the lust three year. lb-ports gathered by the office of farm Management from approximately 1,000 linger truck o-.vn.--rs In the Now'Kng land states, New York, I'ennwylvanln, New Jersey, DelkMnre nntl Muryland during January ami February, show that at that time over 80 per cent had owned their machines less than three j curs. The length of time OfiS of these men hud owned their machines Is us follows: Less than one year. IITJS ; more than one yenr, but less than two.

These reports were all from form ei-s who had purchased now trucks for their Individual use. Iteports on see ond-hnnd machines ami on truck at tachments for pleasure cars, as well as trucks used primarily for custom work or on regularly established routes, were not Included In the count. While It Is Impossible to determine just how ninny of the trucks which have been in use only one or two year's were purchased' to replace other trucks, worn out 'or,' discarded, It Is known that a large percentage of the reports covers first experience with trucks. chief objectsjn pruning One Is to Assist Development of Strong Framework for Later Support of Fruit. One of the main objects in pruning young trees is to assist in the develop- nient of a strong framework for the Inter support of fruiting wootl and fruit. It Is desirable that this frame work be developed as quickly iis. Is compatible with a proper maturing or ripening of the wood In the fall. The main scaffold limbs and their branches which go to form the framework of the trees are developed from shoots. That Is. In the young apple tree the shoots of one season become the limbs of the next season. Consequently any practice which promotes a strong. vigorous shoot growth in the young tree Is a direct aid In ' building Its framework. It Is a well-established fact that comparatively heavy pruning Is a great stimulant to shoot growth, a stimulant In the sense of causing larger and stronger, though fewer shoots. GRAPES ARE POPULAR FRUIT Doubtful If There Is Any Fruit More Wholesome and Otherwise Valu able to Human System. Not ninny fruits are as thrifty and as sure to bear under reasonable con ditions as grapes. Tills fruit is one of the oldest und for years and cen turies the most popular fruit. Prim itive husbandmen knew the grape and used it. it Is doubtful whether there Is nny fruit that Is any more wholesome and otherwise valuable to the human sys tem than grapes. Most people relish grapes ami they are said to be very healthful as n food. - - HORTICULTURAL NOTES Spraying gets the clean fruit. The orchard or garden Is never com plete without strawberries. One reason peach trees seem to fall quicker than formerly Is the failure of our orchard soils. Blackberry, raspberry and dewberry canes are frequently Injured by the red-necked cane borer. K Itoses. gooeherrles and currants may be Increased by layering thorn, Tip a brunch to the ground ami cover It with Mirth. EVEN the sheerest things we wear contrive to be n little burdensome In the dog days. They prove them selves possessed of an unsuspected nntl unwelcome warmth, especially If they are of the clinging sorts of ma terials, and cllnglness Is the very last thing one will long for In hot weather. All our concern Is to keep as cool as possible and look considerably cooler thnn we feel ami now Is the day of crisp fabrics organdie, dimity, swlss nntl tnffetu. The tlrst of these ac counts for many a delightful midsum mer frock und figures as a trimming In frills, or accessories, on dresses of all these other materials. An old favorite appeal's among the crisp, cool froyks nut skirts '.lint look comfortable In sweltering weather. Dark blue swlss with scattered dots of white, brightened with collar and cuffs of organdy, makes many a re freshing looking tlress and Is a joy to behold in the country or on the atroots. It is usually meant to be practical and The Hats of MIDSUMMKH'S dazzling light. eves retreat into uie snauuw ui wlde-brlmmcd hats; those glowing and protecting shadows that millinery of fers in so great a variety of color anil degree of shade. Leghorns, crepe, hnlr-braid. taffeta, organdy and ninny other airy stuffs go to make up the cav or picturesque tlress bats thnt ure tho climax of the year's vstory In millinery and along with thesV bright crowns for beauty's head there are nlways those stately hats of tine blnck lace "or mnllnes. These seem fewer this colorful yenr thnn In past sum mers, but they nre among those pres ent and perhaps a little more distin guished thnn ever. Hut the wlde brlmmed hut Is not for every face or every occasion; It hns competitors that are oftener worn and narrower brimmed, like those examples for mid summer wear thnt make up the group of bats shown above. In this group there nre four hats that present themselves as millinery of the kind thnt makes Itself very gen erally useful and It Includes ono but at the top of the picture made of blnck mallnes und having n curtain edge about the brim, , The brilliant materlul culled cellophnue adds a spar kle to the design, placed lu parallel rows about the crown und In the upper Is loss frilly thnn dotted swlss dresses In lighter colors. These nre frivolous: und go to any length they choose in. the matter of organdy dissipations. Striped tllmlty, having a white ground und stripes In gay colors, keeps up with them In this matter of orcaniljr frills. Besides these irresponsible but charming cotton frocks, there are those of -chiffon taffeta, actually even coider than sheer cottons. Collars and cuffs of organdy contribute to their daintiness also. Taffeta proves t be hest of all choices for making the coolest separate skirts with every thing to recommend It. An example of the taffeta skirt worn with a voile blouse Is pictured above. And this skirt may have a pretty bodice tiv match It, with a frilly -estee of lace, a fichu of organdy or other funciftil nids thut convert It into nn afternoon, dress. In this wny the skirt does dou ble duty. Late Summer brim. There Is no trimming except a sash of satin ribbon witli bow ami ends across the front. Below It. at the left, there Is a hat of pink crepe georgette, faced with a light, soft braid In the same color. It has a scarf of georgette that falls from the brim. at the back and Is edged with button hole stitches In ynrn. This scarf Is. embellished with ynrn embroidery In pastel colors and furnishes all the tbc oratlon the model needs. A very simple but becoming hat at the right Is made of wide sntln ribbon, having double tucks ncross It at Inter vals. This shajte has proved so great a favorite that It will reappear In fall hats. This model being of ribbon. In a strong blue, may be worn at any season. The lust hut has a brim of rullla and soft crown of taffeta and; contents Itself with a sash and ends of narrow satin ribbon finished with fringe. For Dancing Frocks.
