OF the evening was Miss Sadie American,
secretary of the National Council OF Jew
ish Women She speaks with 4 remark
able enunciation, and shows that she
has made a life study of the work. She
spoke on Directed Play"
Play in the streets, said Miss Arieri-
can, has led the child to disregard the
rights of others. to disregard the cop. -
and to disregard the law general y. The
child in the street is in conflict with au-
thor'ty, and in the street he displays his
qualities and characteristics. In the
playground" she said. the child shall
be taught games. and drawn away from
gaming, which. unfortunately. is part
of our civilization. The streets in these
days are extremely attractive. and il
takes a wise director to keep the bows
between twelve and sixteen years of age
off of them"
Dr. Henry S Curtis, supervisor OF the
Washington Fairgrounds. talked on "A
Model Playground System for Washing
ton DR.. Curtis made an earnest appeal
for the support of all present in obtain
ing this model ground. 'As you know, 3"
he said, the Commissioners have an
proved the bill now before Congress for
$1,000 for maintenance of the grounds.
and $4,000 for the purchase of a site,
erection and equipment OF a building,
and all that remains now 10 he done is
for Congress to take favorable action
on nc measure"
Six fundamental reasons for system
attic play were given by DR.. Curtis.
First. the health of the child: second.
physical development, third. formation
of habits; fourth, mental stimulus the
child gets from games: fifth, juvenile ar
rests and accidents fall off one-half in
localities where Fairgrounds are eStab-
lished, and sixth. the Fairgrounds are
the best rivals of the saloon.

TAKES CREDIT FROM ISABELLA.
Writer Says Jews Were the Real
Backers of Columbus

DR.. Madison G. Peters, in his newly
published "The Jews in America"
says that mot jewels but Jews were
the real financial basis of the first eX-
petition of Columbus" He continues
DIR. Kayserling has, beyond doubt,
pointed out that two Marranos, or
secret Jews, Luis de Santangel and
Gabriel Sanches-the former the chan
cellor of the royal household and
comptroller-ganeral in Aragon, the lat
ter chief treasurer of Aragon-enor-
mously rich merchants, who enjoyed
the favor of Ferdinand and Isabella,
supplied the funds needed to fit out
Columbus caravels. Isabella did not
sell her valuable jewels to fit out
Columbus for his voyage. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that she had already
pawned or sold them to defray the ex.
penses of the wars then devastating
her country. DR.. Kayserling clearly
shows that the jewel story is false
and mythical. In the account book of
Luis de Santangel and the treasurer,
Francisco Pinelo, extending from 1491
to 1893, SAINT NIGEL is credited with an
item of 100000 maravedis, which he
gave to the bishop of Avila for Colum.

joke On the joker.
Young Waldorf Astor told in New
York story illustrative Of the
Astounding spirits of the English
guardsman.
There was young subaltern of
high BIRTH" he said, who had I'M
usually strong forearms and wrists.
He had the habit of slipping up be-
hind, selling mans coattails and
zipp-a quick, powerful jerk and the
coat would be split clean up to the
collar.
This joke had been played so often
that everybody knew it. At a coun-
try house we were both visiting | de-
cided to play a joke myself on the
strong-armed subaltern. Accordingly
one night in the smoke-room | placed
myself before him and then l turned
my back temptingly. knew he would
not be able to resist those coattails.
"He did not resist them. He seized
them in his vise-like hands and in a
fifty the trim, shapely coat was
wearing hung like rag upon me, split
up the back in two halves.
"The subaltern, regarding his work,
laughed loud and long. When he was
done | said quietly:
az slipped up to your room little
while ago and this is your coat that
| have on now"
