Much unjust criticism is being heaped

where they are going or which way to
look for an oncoming vehicle. For In

quently gaze north. and the person going

OF north hence the confusion and sur
prise when suddenly they see machine
upon them. and the abuse they heap
upon the man behind the wheel very
often Is not fit language for any self
respecting person to hear. Somehow Pc

The truth Is he Is regularly placed IN
many positions Of great disadvantage by
the awkward and unintelligent behavior
of those who walk.
The necessity of looking where you are

CHARITIES OF MRS. SAGE
NOT TO BE MADE PUBLIC
Reporters Efforts to Secure In
formation Blocked by Employe
of the Estate.

NEW YORK, November 5.-Not long
ago a reporter tried to get some informa-
ton about the various charities in which
Mrs. Margaret Sage is dispensing the sew
enty or eighty million dollars accumu-
lated by Russell Sage in the practice of
puts and calls. The reporter knew In a
general way that Mrs. Sage desires to be
Of service to society rather than merely
to be generous. He also knew that she
has never asked that the Sage name be
emblazoned on doorposts.
II am sorry to say that can give you
no information said the employe Of the
Sage estate to whom application was
made.
Reporter Explains.
The reporter carefully explained that
he did not hope to pry the lid off any
boarded secret. He did not want to
bother Mrs. Sage for an interview or a
signed statement. He merely wished to
outline briefly her purpose Of broad help
fulness. The employe shook his head.
Then tell me the name Of the man |
must see?" said the reporter. impatiently.
Il can't do that, ether" said the en-
ploye. I'VE are under strict orders
which come from Mrs Sage herself-that 1t
no one snail Oe referred 10 tHoSe WHO are
close to her for information. 1t is her
wish that as little as possible be said
about her benefcences. If 1t were prac-
ticable she would try to do good anony-
mously. You may recall that it has never
been part of her plan to conduct inde-
pendent Investigations, or to support in
dependent charities
Seeks the Organized Agencies.
Whenever possible she has sought to
work through the organized agencies al
ready in the field. In this way her sup
port gains in efficiency, and she Is able to
avoid the publicity she dislikes."
1t is possible that her attitude Is forced
to some extent by the fact that every an
nouncement of a gift brings her thou
sands Of begging letters, and that her
servants are busy for days in shooing
persistent solicitors away from her door.
But ostentation is foreign to Mrs. Sage $
character.
II had far rather put my shoulder to
the wheel than sit on the seat and drive, =
