Washington, An. 17. Heorganlza
tl n of the bureau of Immigration lias
tx en ordered by Assistant Secretary of
Xtbor Post. The action rvas taken,
01 Icials of tho department Bald todny.
bi cause of conditions Indicating "utter
organization" of the bureau, both
li re and in lt field service.
First steps In the reorganization wer.
taken by Assistant Secretary Post on
Joly 21, when Commissioner General
ol Immigration Camlncttl was shorn of
tBfl authority which ho had exercised
tte some time past of making rocom
m pudatlons in appeal nnd warrant cafes
p sslng through his hands. Tho do
p rtment contendeil that only the secre
U ry of labor nnd the assistant secretary
were empowered b law to exercise
j dgment in such cases.
On August 14, a memorandum was
p epared by Assistant Secretary Pont
li quiring into the "causes of and
remedies for the disorganized conditions
lr the bureau of immigration nnd its
consequent insufficiency." Certain "un
dislrable" conditions prevailing In the
btreaw were ordered remedied Immedi-
i.lt ThncA ftmlnHn.1 "thr. oxrpKive
feecdom of nccess to the ImmlBratlon
hfirvau during working Hours or persons
not officially connected with the
bureau. "
1 To Inspire the removal of those "un
drsirablo" conditions, an advisory com
mittee was appointed to continue the
inquiry. It included Alfred Hampton,
ol the bureau of immigration : H. B.
Collins, of the solicitor's department
aid Hugh Keld, from the ofllce of the
a sistnnt secretary of labor.
Commissioner of Immigration Wnl-
lii. of Ellis It-land, was here today to
c infer with Mr. Post relative to the
t adjustment of condltious at the port
o ' New York.
During the wnr tho personnel of the
Immigration bureuti at Ellis Island was
rfeatly depleted, officials explained, nnd
mw that the tide of Immigration has

themselves greatly handicapped.

Harding Will Soon
Give League Plan
Continued from rage One
day that Cox on Saturday at Wheeling
had quoted Senator Harding as saying
of the amendment to the Ohio consti
tution ending the old employers' de
fense of contributory negligence, as
sumption of risks and fellow-servants'
responsibility, "This Is revolution. It
Ih the beginning of socialism." Marlon
denies that Mr. Hardtng ever said any
thing of the sort.
In the confidence that prevails here
It Is asserted that the front-porch cam-
&algn is adequate and this la said to
e the candidate's own view, though It
Is said to be opposed by his close ad
visers. Senator Weeks, Senator Pen
rose and Harry M. Daugbcrty.
It is explained that though the front
porch campaign has produced littlo of
interest so far, it was not plauncd
to start It until after Cox had got
under way ajjd his campaign had been
revcnled. Later It Is said that in spite
of high railway rates and the relatlvo
(nnprrssthtlitv nf .Mnrlon. pr.oi.ffh dele
gations will arrive to give Mr. Harding!
all the opportunity lie wants.
Correspondents Find It Dull
No one complains of dullness nnd
inactivity here, except the newspaper
correspondents, nnd they arc profes
sional enemies of dullness and inac
tivity. They despise the motto.
"Happy is the campaign that has no
history." They seize n correspondent
arriving here from a point as remote i
as Columbus and treat mm as the in
habitants of Tibet do nn arriving
white man. His coming they regard
as an event. They ask him tho news
of the great political world outside.
The professionals who are conduct
ing the campaign with confidence do not
feel it to bo In any sense remarkable
that a week's schedule reveals nothing
more than a visit of Will II. Hays and
some other advisers today, the coming
of a local lumbermen's association to
morrow, with or without a speech from
the candidate, nnd the visit of.J3hlo
legislators, past and present, the next
day, with n speech probably on tho
League of Nations by Mr. Harding.
Mnrlon Is differeut from Columbus.
It is not felt here thnt much depends
on the personal exertions of the can
didate. All depends upon an already
existent stntr of the public mind and
an organization to deal with it. You
encounter here the perfect flower of
organization. At Democratic head
quarters there Is not a sign of organi
zation. There is nothing but Cox.
His is n highly personnl effort, ns per
sonal, as inadequate looking and ns un
organized ns the adventure of David
with his sling.

COX BEGINS FIGHT
10 CAPTURE 01
Democrats Make Convention
Occasion to Start State
Campaign Today
HIS SPEECH MAIN FEATURE
Dy tho Associated Prow
Columbus, O., Aug. 17. Ohio Dem
ocrats were meeting here today to for
mally open the state and national cam
paigns, to adopt n state platform and
select twenty-four presidential elec
tors. x
It being the home state of tho head
of the national ticket, leaders have
planned to make the occasion one In
which Governor Cox may start tho
fight which they hope will land Ohio In
the Democratic column at the Novem
ber election. His address Is to be the
main feature of tho state convention.
All elo Is to be secondary to the speech
of the presidential candidate, in which
he is expected to set the gaugo of bat
tle for his opponent, Senator Harding,
in their home state.
Even the keynote speech by M, A.
Daugherty, of Lancaster, who nomi
nated Governor Harmon for the pres
idency at the Baltimore convention
eight j cars ago, Is to be subordinated
to that of the presidential candidate.
It wns explained that Mr. Daugherty's
short address would bo virtually extem
poraneous. Others scheduled to speak
nre Secretary of War Baker, W. A.
Julian, nominee for United States sen
ator, nnd A V. Donahey, gubernatorial
nominee.
Governor Cox indicated that his ad
dress would parnllel his six years'
officlnl record in the state with that of
Senator Harding, the Republican presi
dential candidate.
"The reactionary candidate was on
one side nnd I was on the other," said
the Democratic nominee, adding that
"the eyes of tho country are on Ohio"
In the presidential contest.

for the last five weeks of the campaign
to be allotted later.

TO AID MANNIX'S MOTHER
British Ban Doos Not Prevent Her
From Visiting Him
London, Aug. 17. (Uy A. P.) Pre
mier Lloyd George told tho House of
Commons that the government was pro
pared to give every assistance to tho
mother of Archbishop Mnnnlx, of Aus
tralia, who Is in Ireland to visit tho
archbishop of England, but that the
government would not permit the arch
bishop to visit Ireland.
This was In answer to a question
whether tho government would recon
sider its decision to bar Archbishop
Mannix from Ireland in view of tho
archbishop'H statement that after many
years' absence ho wished to visit Ire
land to seo bis mother nnd not for any
political purposes.
The archbishop denounced tho pro-
Eoenl as "preposterous," adding that
Is mother could not possibly travel,
owing to her great age. no matter what
assistance should be given her.

and Tire" tests
prove motor oil
High "Flash" and "Fire" points of a
motor oil frequently are cited as proof of
quality of ability to withstand destructive
heat in the cylinders.
The fallacy of these tests is apparent.
"Flash" and "Fire" points of an oil rarely
exceed 450 and 500 degrees, respectively. The
maximum temperature in a cylinder approxi
mates 2700 degrees. No oil can wholly with
stand such a heat.
The part of the oil film directly exposed
to the heat of explosion must burn away.
The all-important consideration then is
what is the lubricating value of the oil that
remains?
"The Burning Test" Alone Is Proof
Oils that leave a thick, sticky residue are
compounded made by mixing light oils
with heavy cylinder stock. This residue not
only fails to lubricate but it sticks to cylin
der walls, piston heads, etc., collects dirt and
forms hard carbon deposit.
SUNOCO the new kind of. motor oil
burns down evenly. Heat does not destroy
the lubricating quality of the part not
burned away. That is because Sunoco is a
non-compounded, wholly distilled oil, abso
lutely pure and uniform. It eliminates car
bon troubles. Ask your dealer for it.
