HOME WANTED FOR GREEk BOY
OTHERWISE STEFANOUS MANT-
ZOURIS WILL BE DEPoRTED.
Acting Secretary McHarg Thinks
He Will Make a Good American
if He Stays.

Shall the Department of Commerce
and Labor be turned into a founding
asylum
This is one question that confronts AS
sistant and Acting Secretary McHarg in
government service.
Recently he has been bothered with the
case of Lee Pong, the Chinese boy. Now
comes to the bat one Stefanous Mant-
courts, Greek boy, eleven years old. for
whom home in an Engifsh-spea king
family in Washington must be found If
mother in Greece.
Stefanous was recently before the Ju-
fenile Court for working without Ii
cense. His brother, Anastasos, also ap-
peared before the court and was fined
Slo because StefanOus worked
iheh the case was turned over to the
immigration authorities. In due course OF
Time 1t reached McHarg's office
lie records show that SteIan1us Mant-
zouris came to America last March, ac-
companled by Peter Leopolos who said
ne was the boys uncle. When he land
ed IN New York the boys age was set
uown as eleven. He came to Washington
ana llVed with his brother. who runs d
couple of shoe shining shops, where
Greek boys are employed
raymond Wilmarth, who keeps a look
out TOR the enforcement of the child labor
law for the superintendent of public
schools, came across the little lad, work
ing In one of his brothers shops Aras-
tasios was called upon for an explana-
ton.
The big brother said he had tried to
keep little Stefanous away from the shops
and had cuffed him a couple OF times
When he caught him working. The boy
persisted, however in working on the
sly. This much Stefanous admitted
Mr. McHarg had almost made up his
mind to deport him. When the boy was
brought into his Office, however, he was
SO struck with his fine appearance and
apparent intelligence that he held up the
case.
The boys brother says he wants to
send him to school, Mr. McHarg told
a Star reporter today, but it will be
necessary for the lad to live with some
English speaking family Anastas:os
Mantzouris is willing to pay a reasonable
sum Tor his board and lodging. and will
support him while he is going to school,
The mother of the boy, so s1r McHarc
was informed by his older brother. is
weH to do She owns small farm, a
vineyard and wine shop in Greece.
McHarg is interested in the case. If
ANYBODY wants to take the boy and can
give him proper care Mr.. McHarg will
be glad to forego deportation and give
little Stefanous a chance to get an educa-
tion in America. He things he is a type
that Will develop into something of a
good citizen.
AS many letters were received by the
authorities from Americans Offering to
take Lee Pong. it Is hardly likely that
there Will be much trouble in finding a
nome Tor Stefanous MantZouriS.

Sta ge Realism.
he Cleveland Leade

From the Cleveland Leader.
The big theatrical managers. looking
for the easiest results, are taking act
ing out of the category of the arts as
fast as possible They mean well, but
they work harm The trouble is that
they put too much emphasis on the pic
torial side of the stage. 1t is not So
much that they overdress too many OF
their productions with scenery and cos
tunes as that they seek to fill the eye
just as completely in human way.
When they accept a play from drama
tist they Immediately begin sleuthing for
actors who will realize, in a physical
way, the people the playwright has put
into his drama. The actor who can look
the part gets the engagement away from
the less pictorial fellow who could project
the sense of the character better across
the footlightS because he understood the
kind of man wanted and had trained his
mind and his emotions and his body to
be interpretive. Good actors. men and
women, walk the streets iii New York or
take positions that are pathetic, when
their talents are considered. just because
their hair is not of the right color. their
noses of the proper curve and their height
of the desired inches. They couldn't fill
out the clothes of the character, but they
could have laid bare the soul of it

The cotton market opened steady at an

on bull support and covering caused by
the strength of Liverpool, in the face of
heavy traders, the bullish national gin

Oklahoma by local authority showing
big deterioration in condition for the
month. Realizing was sufficiently heavy
to check the advance, but only slight re-
actions occurred, with the market holding
steady during the middle of the morning.
Realizing continued late in the first
hour, but the publication of another bull
ish private condition report, making it
65.7 against 72.S last month, helped to
sustain the market. and prices at mid
day were a shade up from the lowest

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local market continued to reflect
the dullness of the summer season again
today, when at the noon session of the
Washington Stock Exchange the sales of
stocks and bonds were restricted to very
few issues and none of them was of
large volume. This was the first meet
ing of the exchange since last Friday
Saturday and Sunday were the regular
holidays. and the exchange adjourned over
yesterday because of the death of E. B.
Cottrell. In spite of the three days lay
off however. the brokers had no accumu-
lation of orders. and with the exception of
a few transactions in Washington Gas
and in Lanston, all of the sales were for
fractional lots.
