Million Dollar Stadium
Gift for Central Park
Widow of Nautical Inventor
Makes Offer Through
Justice Weeks

million-dollar athletic stadium
equipped for all sorts Of sports, to be
constructed on the site Of the two old
reservoirs in Central Park, has become
q probability through the offer of Mrs.
Isaac L. Rice, Of ~ East Eighty-sev-
enth Street.
Mrs. Rice, widow Of submarine and
torpedo boat inventor, conceived the
idea from study of selective draft
statistics showing the great number of
young men who were physically unfit.
Originally, the Rice family had planned
to use the 100000 fund to establish
hospital.
Mrs Rice conferred it'll Justice Bar
tow s. Weeks and several other Anna
teur Athletic Union officials, and they
suggested the reservoir site. The mat
ter was then taken up with the Board
Of Estimate and Apportionment and
referred to the Committee on City
Plan and Public improvements and City
Engineer Nelson, who will report on it.
Following this action, Mrs. Rice d.
rected her architects to draw plans en-
bodying the ideas of the A. A. u. off,
Gals. The plans, now on view, pro-
vide for keeping the present reservoir
walls. The main entrance to the
stadium would be through an archway
on the transverse road at Eighty sixth
Street, thus obvating destruction of
park property by crowds going to the
games. The plans will not interfere
with carrying out the projected John
Purroy Mitchell memorial.

Public Market in u. S.
Urged for Foreign Loans
Plan Called Need to Stabilize
International Commerce
and Finance

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Establish
ment Of broad public markets in this
country for handling the internal loans
of European nations was advocated to-
day by Eugene Meyer, managing d.
rector of the war finance corporation
as one means of stabilizing interna-
tional commerce and finance.
"a number of our bankers have been
placing the internal loans Of England
France, Italy and Belgium with their
investment clientele in this country
said Mr.. Meyer. "My personal inqnir-
les lead me to believe that much large
amounts Of American capital would
seek these investments if broad public
markets were established in this coun-
try for these issues.
ut should be done in my opinion
with the approval Of the governme nts
concerned. Thus far most of the for
eign financing in this country has been
done with dollar obligations or dollar
obligations convertible into the foreign
currency obligation at fixed price
Easier mechanism through the public
markets would permit many who would
like to invest in foreign obligations at
the present low levels of exchange to
do so"

Aeolian Hall Is Crowded

Pianist Pleases, but for Once
Leaves Hearers Unstirred:
Boy, 8, Plays in Evening

There were two piano recitals yes
terday at Aeolian Hall In the after
noon Ossip Gabrilowitsch played pieces
by Handel, Scarlatti, Mendels
Schumann, Gabrilowitcsch and List
with Bcethoven's Sonata, o. 10, in D
major, as the piece de resistance. This
program was much lighter than those
usually given by Mr. Gabrilowitsch
The absence of Chopin numbers was O
disappointment. In fact had it not
been for the pieces added to the pro-
gram as encores. the huge audience
which crowded the seats in the hall
and overfowed onto the stage might
justly have considered the fare
meager.
1t is an easy matter for Mr. Gabrilo-
witsch to play Economically. This he
contented himself with doing. Except
in the Sonata, and in the Schumann
pieces, Evening" "Whims," "Why p
and Soaring" there were few occa-
sions when the music afforded inspira
ton to touch the heights. And so
while Mr.. Gabrilowitsch pleased he
left his hearers for once unstirred

port, eight, played pieces by Bach

posers. He did not attempt any piece
beyond his powers, and his modest ant

mont. 1--WE believe it will be adopted
as regular part of the churchwork

year by year to the honor of taking
part in it,"
The play is an adaptation Of the old
miracle play Eager Heart" with a
prologue between the characters of
Time and Eternity.
In the performance at St. Georges

Miss Helen Ford, dramtic director of
the league, will have charge Of the

The rule will not be compulsory, ac-

The latter, however, after cons liberation
of the problem, altered the rule to

Dean Herbert f. Hawkes.. "However,
for two very good reasons" he said,
I'VE feel that students who are able
to live in dormitories or near the COL

First, we believe that a student
who is committing to college from a
point as far distant as Newburgh is
not able to get the full value from his
studies and that he daily expends
energy in his travelling which could
be spent with better advantage at the
college.
