The problem OF comfortable and
plcasant-looking homes for working
people Is ono in which Mrs Sage is cs-
pecially interested. Her men of affairs
arc now at work on 4 plan for cstab-
fishing model tencmcnts in Ne& York
City. Furthermore, she has bought so
acres of ground near Jamaica. where
she is spending S3so,ooo in experiments
for this same cause. Some illustrations
on this page show a portion OF the
progress that is being made in this
quarter. Her ten million dollar gift TO
the Russell Sage Foundation has been
invested so as to yield an annual income
of 100000. A large proportion OF this
is being spent in the Anti tuberculosis
campaign The National Playground
Association also is being helped and the
various Institutions for the blind get
their quota John M Glenn is execu-
tive head of the Foundation, while the
School Hygiene Department is under
the direction Of Luther H. Gulick
Mrs. Harriman's most notable gift so
far has been the Palisades Park, follow
ing the well-known intention Of her hus-
band The State of New York not only
has been presented with a magnificent
tract OF land, but with sufficient money
to enable 1t to buy up as much more as
IS necessary to make the finest inter
state forest reserve in the country
right on the Hudson River Mrs Har-
riman has thus preserved for the use of
the people what is perhaps the most
gorgeous scenic territory in the East
although it is rather a large order TO
make comparisons. She is also carry

had established on the East Side of
New York.
Helen Gould's Philanthropy
The philanthropic activities Of Helen
Miller Gould have been well known for
some time The greater part OF the
good done by this woman will never be
known-probably not even by the peo-
pie benefited All her life she has de-
voted both time and energy towards
spending her share Of the money left
by Jay Gould in caring for the poor and
suffering. Her greatest individual gift
was to the University of the City of
New York, to which she presented Ii
brary building at cost OF S3Io,ooo. OF
the 100000 she sent the United States
Government when the Spanish war
broke out and how she equipped hos
pital camp and went right to the scene

body knows. Miss Gould IS not so much
