LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT |

from one TO three buildings each. Many
Of them could get work only in the sum-.
mer-time or in the busy seasons at tho
certain, but they saved little always and
acquired their property on the installment
plan. :
One American, at least, took lesson
in thrift from our foreign-bom citizens a,
few years ago. He was of New England
ancestry and thought he had traditiors to
keep up on his $50 week Therefore no
had saved nothing when his thirty-eighth
birthday came around and he lost his posi-
ton. In trying 10 get another place ho
found that from a business point of view.
he was considered an old man. So he and
his wife decided to start life on a new plan.
They sold their furniture for enough to pay.
their debts, and rented fiat for 50 a week
in the Italian quarter of large city. Ho
joined line of foreigners and got a job
paying 50 a week. Out of this they saved
fifty cents--but they did not buy steak.
He studied his foreign co-laborers and
decided 20 become a contractor himself. (,
He learned everything he could about.
every detail of the business and about tho J..
men themselves. He learned Italian from
a friend and took course Of masonry atl
a night trade school, He was next madoi
foreman at $3.50 day. I
The first year in the new life he and,
his wife saved $500. By the end Of the
third year, having had other raises, they
with the help of their boy, had saved
S1,19O which was invested. The man
watched his opportunity and became an
independent contractor. After that the
family moved back to New England and
prospered.

out on that line-if it takes life time.
II is always easy for the unthrifty 70 make
excuses, such as, ''If got decent salary,
might save something. But the thrifty
person does not need TO make excuses.
A canvass OF the so-caled poor districts
Of Chicago recently brought to light some
splendid examples of thrift. The settle
ment worker who conducted the investi-
CATION discovered a whole block where
the eighty apartment buildings are owned
by peddlers, day laborers and scissors
grinders. They each own from one to
three brick buildings and each building
has from four to six apartments, renting
from 81 10 $50 a month.
A watchman earning two dollars a
night, a cabman, an umbrella mender and
a peddler Of wash-tubs were each found
to own building. Five day laborers
getting a wage of only s1.7s a day each
own buildings in this block. Two factory
workers, two scissors grinders, junk

FOR THE EVENT

BOSTON. July 17.-Norman S.
Taber, the former Brown and oxford
University runner, now wearing the
Boston A. A. colors, broke the worlds
professional and amateur records
yesterday at the Harvard Stadium
when he ran one mile in 4 minutes
70 3-5 seconds.
The second worlds record OF the
afternoon was broken when Bill
MeaniX, Of the 3. A. A., was clocked
at 81 3-5 seconds in the 440 hurdle
event Al the Eastern tryouts
Meanix's time was two-fifths Of
second better than the worlds record
OF G. r. l.. Anderson. Taber shatter-
ed the record made by John Paul
Jones, of Cornell University. al the
intercollegiate meet at the stadium in
1913 by ! 4-5 seconds Jones time
was minutes IA 2-5 seconds.
Taber clipped three twentieths Of
second off the professional worlds
record, which has been held by w. 6.
/ George, of England, since 1886.
At the gun Ryan stepped a fast pace
and laber hung about 10 yards I'm the
rear The first quarter was covered
IN 5S seconds, but Ryan eased off dur
ing the second lap, which was done in
] minute and z seconds, making the
time for the half mile minutes and
/ 3 seconds.
At the start Of the third lap Ryan
dropped out, and d. j. Mahoney aud ]
NJ. Burke, who had started from the
SO and 350-yard marks, respectively.
took Taber around the track at a ter
rife clip, covering the third quarter
IN 6S seconds.
Burke gave pace to Taber during
the fourth and final lap and took the
present record holder over the last
440 yards I'm 50 30 seconds
The track was in excellent condi-
ton for fast time and although the
day was a trihe warm the runners
were not bothered In any other way,
as there was absolutely no wind in
side the Harvard structure.
Iaber covered the first quarter in
So seconds. the half mile in 2.05.
lthree-quarters in 3.13. Burke's
strong pacing in the last quarter was
a great help in carrying the whirl-
wind runner over the cinder track in
record-breaking time.
In spite of his heart breaking feat.
raber finished as fresh as a daisy lie
showed absolutely no effect from his
supreme effort When he brought
himself TO a stop after speeding
across the tape he turned Immediately
and trotted back to where the timers
we're. His one thought was to find IL
he had succeeded in smashing the
record, the aim OF his athletic life.
When Taber was informed that he
had succeeded where so many other
wonderful athletes before him had
failed his joy knew no confinement.
He hoped about like a schoolboy.
Everybody in the stadium wanted TO
congratulate him, but the modest
lTaber escaped into the dressing room.
Taber is not vet "a years old. Be
sides his prowess on the track he is a
remarkable scholar. He is a Phi

John b. Manlove The stone used is
that used years ago as cross-ties for
the Frenchtown railroad, the first
line in the State. Each stone is about
1Sx12 inches and two holes were
placed in each to allow spikes to be
used in holding the crude rails.
Since the abolishment of the old
line the cross ties were used as street
crossings In the course of street
improvements these crossings were
removed and when the movement vas
started to improve the Penn Square
it was decided to build a monument
to Penn In the fall a running vine
will be planted at the monument so
that il can cover the shaft. Only a
few of the holes in the stones show
as the side of the stones with the
holes had TO be placed inward in
order to make the work even. In
the Penn Square are beds Of choice
flowers.
