MORE AID FOR WAR VICTIMS
Vast Resources of Rockefeller
Foundation TO be Used.

New York.--The Rockefeller Foun
datiOn has determined to employ Its
immense resources for the relief Ol
non-combatants in the countries al
fiicted by the war and stands ready to
give millions of dollars, II necessary.
for the purpose. This was announced
by John d. Rockefeller, jr. president
OF the foundation.
In pursuance Of this philanthropy
the foundation will send q commission
to Europe in few days to report first
hand as to how. when and where aid
can be rendered most effectively. At
a cost of S2,5,000 1t already has char
tered ship aud loaded 1t with four
thousand tons OF, provisions for the
relief OF the starving Belgians.
This action is taken." Mr.. Rocke.
feller says. "as a natural step In full
filling the chartered purpose Of the
foundation, namely. to promote the
wellbeing OF mankind throughout the
world''
The ship is the Massapequa. the
largest neutral vessel now In New
York harbor, and 1t will sail at once
direct for Rotterdam with a certifica-
tlon from the British consul at New
York that its cargo is destined for the
use OF Belgian non.combatants only
and should not be delayed in transit.
The supplies are consigned to the
American consul at Rotterdam and
will be distributed by the Belgian re.
lief commission.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been in COM
munication with Ambassador Page at
London and made public cablegram
In which the ambassador describes the
dire need Of the Belgians and says
that 1T will require million dollars

Atthis stage ("the awkward age" it

that she looks particularly we'll in any

CANNIBAL TRIBE IN BRAZIL
Algot Lange Is clvlllzing Them and
They Have Holsted the
American Flag.

A tribe of Indian cannibals, inhabit-
ing the jungles along the Upper Moju
river, in Brazil, has been colonized by
Algot LANCE, the explorer and author,
who says they are learning to speak
the English language rather than Bra
william, and that they have run the
Stars and Stripes UP over the tallest
hut In their village. Mr.. Lange has
made two expeditions covering two
years among the Indians of the Upper
Moju river and the Amazon wilds. In
his last letter from Para, Brazil, he
writes:
IT have Just returned from q short
trip up the Moju river, where l left

them, and they are establishing plan

ing the Stars and Stripes are now
flying. Eventually the Indians will be
taught to speak English, as they are
unacquainted with the Brazilian Ian
guage. We expect some day to make
the cannibal colony the foundation of
growing town of industrial activity"
On the same journey Mr.. Lange
writes that he has acquired very
thick but powerful boa constructor,
which is now playing in his back yard
at Para. He also shot female tiger,
and saved little cub, which he has
named "Tammany," and which he in
tends to bring to New York to see the
wide world"

Mr.. Lange, is not revealed in the fiat.

urge me to follow down the ladder.
l cautiously lift myself over the side
and, gripping the ladder until the nails,
meeting the palm, dig into the flesh,
attempt to place my foot on the first
rope rung. Slowly, calculating each
step and tenaciously clinging to the
ladder, which sways with each motion
OF my body, l gradually reach the
bottom rung. A false movement might
precipitate the novice into the water
below. Timing myself, drop into the
yawl as it rises on a wave, and in a
twinkling the boys are pulling with
long sweep oars for the pilot boat, two
hundred yards away.
There is a peculiar sense of relief
In feeling solid deck beneath ones
feet again. The yawl Is hoisted to
the boats deck, ready to put pilot
aboard an incoming ship or receive
one from an outging craft. The pilot
fleet has four of these boats patroling
the entrance to the port of New York
and one held in reserve. They are
the Ambrose Snow No. 2, the Trenton
No. and the Washington No s, sail
ing vessels, and the steamers New
York and New Jersey. This fleet is on
duty "a hours day for 365 days a
year. A total complement of IL pilots
is maintained on each of the steamers
ready for instant duty at any hour.
Through the long days and nights
these men sweep the horizon for ships
requiring their services.
Twenty years ago there were two
companies of pilots, the Sandy Hook
Pilots and the New Jersey Pilots as.
ISOLATION, each operating independent
ly. In those days only sailing vessels
were used and competition was keen
between the two companies. Each was
eager to put its pilot aboard an incom-
ing craft and receive the pilotage fee.
Frequently these pilot ships cruised
500 miles to sea to beat their rivals. 1t
is not to be wondered that the men
have developed vigilance, overlooking
nothing within range of vision.

RABID SPORTSMAN A BORE
Not Even the Most Ardent Woman
Golfer Can Be Compared to

A writer declares that since wom-

she has become more of a nuisance,
more tyrannical, even more danger
GUS, than in the old 'I'm only a wo-
man, so give me start" days.
Certainly the woman who is badly
bitten by the golf mania, say, Is rather
trial to non-golfers, but the sports
woman, at her worst, is not so great a
bore as the rabid sportsman.
A woman seldom or never lets her
golf handicap swamp all other inter
ests-the feminine mind Is not made
that way; but preserve one from the
man to whom sport In one form or an
other is the pivot of his existence.
Your male golf maniac at times

scription of the game, but strait

onstrating with his walking stick =

especially the maniac who never
played in his life, but can tell you the
name of every player in the leagues.
no fate could be too bad for him. 1t
is a matter for gratitude that though
women may sometimes take them
selves too seriously over the golf

any great interest in football When
they do, it will be time to call for the
revival of old maid. archery, spillikins.
