convicted of criminal assault upon

die leave no estate whatever Do you
know that out OF the remaining "a only
nine leave estates larger than $4,000
and that the average OF the balance of

know that at the age of IS years 81
out of every 100 in America are partly

friends or the public for their clothing
and a roof under which to sleep7 We
all know that the only safeguard against
pauperism by the countries Of Europe
has been thrift. France, Germany,
Belgium, Holland and Switzerland have
been the leaders in thrift. Do you
realize that according to recent govern

SAND SPRINGS, OKLA,
MADE FOR WIDOWS
Oil Producer Using Wealth on
Women and Children.

Sand Springs Okla.-This town was
built for widows. They compose more
than a fourth of the 5000 population.
The town was founded by Charles
Page, multimillionaire oil producer of
Tulsa.
His earliest recollections were of his
mothers efforts to raise her large fam
lily unaided. and he resolved that when
he grew up he would take care of all
the widows.
When he made his fortune Page
founded Sand Springs. He built doz-
ems of comfortable cottages In which
gas, fuel and rent were free. Facto-
ries he bought so the widows might
have employment.
He built a car line to Tulsa upon
which widows ride free. There are a
day nursery, free medical attendance
and vocational school. If a widow
wants to get married Page helps her
do that. He likes grandmothers too.
There are score of them here, with
nothing to do but knit and read and
reminisce.
Page probably has more children"
than any other man In the world. An
orphans home in a nearby town re-
Gently went bankrupt. To provide bet
ter for the little inmates Page le-
gally adopted the, whole institution and
moved it to Sand Springs.

attitude toward women. If boys and
girls are brought up side by side with
certain fundamental ideas of equality
there will be no time when the man,
having attained his majority, will have
to reconstruct his ideas concerning the

Nowadays a boy in many instances
Is permitted to feel when he comes
into young manhood that his mothers
opinions no longer have the same value
they did when he was a growing boy.
He thinks she doesn't understand the
important things of life. Later, when
his reason begins to operate, he has to
fight the inheritance of secret sense
of mans superiority or remain hope
lessly fixed In his view of humanity as
whole.
Zone Of the important things in the
education of a boy is first of all to let
him know the physical aspect of the
country he lives in, the out of doors

that govern everything in it.
