Crippled Children Have Real
DAY OF Real Sport" With
Swimmin', Eats and Ev'rything

Eighty boys at the Devereux Home
were having a glorious, if quiet, time
yesterday-all day.
They began to whisper and giggle in
the sleeping pavilion at 6:15 O'clock
IN the morning, took the damper off
their voices when the rising bell rang
at o:3( and kept the lid off from that
time un Il 1880 o'clock at night, when
the last one dropped off to sleep.
Ihey had breakfast at 1880 and for
half an hour scarcely word was
of oatmeal and milk, slabs of bread
and butter and cups of cocoa-the
unit on the number of each being the
boys capacity, as judged by himself
After breakfast they went for n
hike of half a mile and back. Not a
long hike. but every one of these lads
was cripple, one of the unfortunates
left disabled by the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis which swept the city
in 1916.
Shower Baths Win Cheers
Upon their return there was wilder
whoop of JOY than most of the other
events of the day produced when the
boys learned that shower baths for all
were next in order. Only seventy
eight joined in the joyousness of the
whoop. however. George, who boasts
five Italian years, protested:
IL no lika dat bat; he sticks me-"
And when he found his protest of no
avail, he walled with anguish until the
dreadful "bat'" had ceased to "stck"
him.
The other protestant who failed to
acclaim the shower felt that he had
reason on his side and was being i'm
posed on, because, as he said. II go
swimmin yesterday afternoon, an
go swimmin' dis afternoon. I'm clean
enough
BY the time the eighty had been run
through the shower and had dressed
again it was dinner time. Then for
another half hour the war of strident
voices was stilled while potatoes, sue
cotash, meat and cups upon cups of
milk were sent along the route that
ends in plumper bodies and redder
cheeks.
Cripples Enjoy. Swim
In the afternoon, after the boys had
rested in the shade for an hour. they
began to cast longing eyes at the wa
ters of the Delaware River flowing
right through the front yard" and to
demand bathing suits.
AS one watched the lads hobhing
about with difficulty and saw their
crutches and hideous braces. one Won
dered how they could manage "swim-
min" 1t seemed almost as though
there must be in the ripping tide of
the Delaware something of the potency
of the Scriptural pool by which the
halt and the blind used to wait for
the stirring of the waters, for the lads
wriggled out of their braces. cast their
crutches on the bank and got into the
stream with only one exception--a boy
who is unable to walk at all.
Later in the afternoon the boys were

"Evangeline" is beautifully done: in

to America, but it is interesting

of Deposit. Here there were a band,
games, ice cream for all, and every one
OF the local people made himself host
in,chief for the benefit of the little
hobblers from New York.
That brought the day along to supper
time, q quiet evening hour and srest in
the wide, open pavilion.
1t was a quiet day in reality, not q
day of vivid thrills and startling ex-
periences, but these boys are COM
PEELED to take to life quietly. Not one
of them can run, play ball or engage
in most of the other sports so dear to
the heart of boyhood. Like most folk
disabled as they are, however, they
have learned to adapt themselves to
their condition and to find pleasure
whore those more active would find
little more than monotony.
The boys are nearing the end Of a
three weeks stay at the funds Dever-
eux Home, and those who have been in
charge of them say that the change in
their appearance and the increase in
their ability to move about are little
short of wonderful.
This week is the ninth of the present
summer during the which Devereux
Home has been kept filled with eighty
crippled children from New York.

A Soldier Says

STIRLING FINLEY. who was overseas
~ for two years with the 107th Cana
dian Regiment, came back three times
as husky as he had ever been before.
therefore he thinks universal military
training is the proper thing for
America.
"The service has done world of
good for me and couple Of million
Others" he says. "A Tot of fellows
who were puny, little shrimps when
they joined up looked like prize
fighters when they came back.
"If military service can do things
like that it certainly is pretty good.
Then, why shouldn't we make it uni
versal, even in peace time? The fell
lows who would be twice as we'll pre-
pared for life Of hard work if they
served little while in the army"

Motors and Motorists

So much complaint has been made by
hospitals and business houses of the
noise made by alarm whistles that work
directly from the engine Of automo-
biles, particularly trucks, that an ordi-
nance is being framed, at the sugges-
tion of the Traffic Commission, to rule
against them, unless the tone is
changed to reduce the volume and mod
crate the sharpness Of the alarm. 1t
was thought, at first, that existing or
dinances against unnecessary noises
but it was found that those applied to
"eXhaust7 and not to "compression"
alarms.
Perhaps the fault does not lie 80
much with the whistle itself as with
the operators Of the vehicles using
them. But as it is. enough noise is
made TO be heard a distance Of several
blocks. and SO many drivers keep up
hooting apparently just for the .sake
Of making a racket that the alarm has
become nuisance, rather than a safe
guard

Erie Financing.

In some way or other there is general
expectation in banking circles that the
Erie Railroad notes which mature on
April / will be paid. and bankers gene
rally did nSt accept with glee the SUCCESS
ton from the Washington authorities of
a plan calling for the offering of an ex-
tension of the notes for three years at 8
per cent, the holder of each 81 900 note
to be given a bonus OF SIS for the
extension. That would make the price of
the new notes 9s1a. AS the note extern
sion plan has failed to meet with wide
spread approval in investment houses II
was suggested that perhaps the Federal
authorities could have the officials OF the
Erie ask for bids from a large number
OF investment houses. as in the case Of
the Southern Railway and the New York
Central issues. No announcement -
expected until after next Monday. when
the New York Central opens bids for
100000 equipment trusts. The Erie
Railroad financing presents unusual diff
Guilty owing to the proximity to the Vic

Atlantic Gulf Dividends.

All of the many rumors concerning
what the dividend action of the directors
Of Atlantic Gulf and West Indies would
be at their meeting yesterday were set
at rest when announcement was made
that full dividends for the entire year
had been declared on the preferred stock.
This is the latest policy of the directors
of the corporation, but there were a few
rumors atloat to the effect that the regu.
lar quarterly dividend only would be
declared In view of uncertainties sur.
rounding the coming reconstruction
period. 1t was declared that the direS.
tors might adopt the attitude that in
view OF the many questions which will
arise during the ensuing year 1t would
be wise to declare the quarterly divi>
dends only as they became due. That
there was no foundation In fact for the
rumors was demonstrated amply yes

dends of 1925 a share being declared,

Faulty Wording.

Visions OF a big story confronted the
financial district late yesterday when the
Stock Exchange announced: Notice re-
ceived from the Norfolk and Western
Railway Of the proposed increase In COM
mon stock by 100000. 900" The first
thought was how Washington could have
permitted a railroad under Federal con-
troll to enter upon so much expansion.
Investigation showed that the omission
of the word authorization" made lot
or difference. AS matter of fact all
that the directors and stockholders of the
Norfolk and Western have done is to in
crease the amount OF authorized common
stock. The road does its financing by
issuing bonds convertible into stock All
such financing. at least for the current
calendar year, has been completed. The
authorization is designed to. meet the
company's needs for several years to
come and there is no intention of issuing
any authorized stock in the near future.

Credit situation Tightens.

There were Indications yesterday that
the credit situation il Tightening in an
ticipation of the Liberty Loan campaign.
The indications did not come from the
call money market. which Is in a class by
itself, and may be expected to range
between 5 per cent. and ~ per cent 1t
was learned that ]. =. Morgan & Co. pro-
pose to restore at once the " per cent
rate on the weekly offering of British
treasury bills against the rate of s per
cent. which has prevailed for the last
few weeks. In addition commercial
paper has come to be firmly established
on 5h per cent basis. Time money
also is in tighter condition. A canvass
Of banking houses reveals that while
there Is to be no definite restriction on
credit for Stock Exchange purposes by
means of artificial limitations. there will
be more or less difficulty put in the path
Of obtaining credit for speculative ex-
pansion. That matter will be handled by
individual bankers without concerted
action, which at its best possesses doubt
full value.

Royal Dutch shares.

Application has been made by Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. TO the listing committee of
the New York Stock Exchange for per-
mission to list the so-called New York
shares of the Royal Dutch Petroleum
Company which are being traded in on
the curb under the name of Royal Dutch
Shell. In that connection 1t is pointed
out that there Is still "A great deal OF
confusion regarding the difference be-
tween shares traded IN on the curb and
American" shares listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, There is only
one difference between the two. which
are issued under two separate agree
ments with the Equitable Trust Com
pany. That difference is that the Amer
lean shares may be presented in New
York for exchange here into Royal Dutch
shares, while the New York" shares are
delivered for exchange to the trustee,
who will deliver an order on their agents
In Holland for the delivery there of
Royal Dutch trust certificates.
