D IC men responding to the example set by other
~ rich men in erecting monuments not marble shafts
but the kind which aid those who arc less fortunate
The construction OF hospitals and the establishment ot
parks and Fairgrounds have been the iavote methods by
which phan,hrops have paid part OF the debt they may
have felt they owed to mankind
But why not "a step further and arrange for a
monument of this kind during the lifetime OF the donor
Why not have the pleasure of seeing the enjoyment which
can be obtained by the from gift to the public
Recently man in New York left 100000 TO build a
rest home He knew it would be appreciated but probably
he would have obtained genuine enjoyment from c

people who need such home.
There |. a chance in Oklahoma City for TO

An organization in this city has labored long TO save
the funds needed to build such home. Assembling the
money is slow process II local philanthopS will
take the burden from the shoulders OF the who have
struggled to give their time to labor OF love he will
find that he has planned monument which will give JOY
to many who the shady side of life and will give

ANNIHILATING DISTANCES.

NEANY men can remember the days when OK trans

England TO the Pacific coast They watched the advent
of the railroad and impressed when the trip across
the continent was made in week.
What must be the impressions OF those men olread
Saturday of an automobile which departed from Plymouth
Mass at noon Monday and arrived at Seattle Saturday
morning?
The motor car has annihated distances. Speed OF
more than 100 miles hour has become common, and the
trip across the United States in much less than week
is evidence that these miracle machines have revouoned
touring and transportation.
