Pittsburs. Pa, Dec. 2.--IIenry Clay Frick
was best known to the people here be-
cause of his commanding position in the
steel. coal and coke industries. but to his
intimate friends was known best the
friend of little children. His benevoences
in their behalf covered a wide area, many
of them never reaching the public ear.
Occasionally, however, it was necessary
to make them known.
II was so in the failure Of the Pittsburg
Bank for Savings which was closed n
short time before Christmas a few years
ago. In this bank had been deposited the
savings of some forty thousand children
under plan carried out through the
public schools. When Mr.. Prick heard of
the failure he promptly offered to make
good every loss of the presentation of the
claim at another bank of which he was
director. His offer was promptly ac-
cepted, and the children had their money
for Christmas.

SWEDEN EXPECTS TO
WIN OLYMPIC HoNoRS
(By United Press.)

New York, Nov. 5.-Sweden is 60
ing to walk away with the honors at
the Olympic games in Belgium next
year If money can help them.
The games are months away and
all arrangements are yet in infant
stages Nevertheless, the Swedish
athletic commission has appropriate
ed 100000, to get team in shape
to compete for their flag.
This sum will be augmented by a
later appropriation to cover the ex-
penses of the trip to Antwerp.
The commission Is trying to pre-
vail upon Ernie Hjertberg to absent
himself from his business in Cote
berg long enough to train the team.
Hjertberg, it will be remembered was
formerly a coach of the Irish-Ameri-
can Athletic club and trained the
Swedish team in 1912.
Along with Justice Barlow s.
Weeks. secretary Of the American
Olympic committee, Hjertberg was
largely responsible for Change in
the Belgian plans which added to the
events the marathon race, the de-
cathlon and the hop-step-and-ju jump,
which were left off the first list.
America and Sweden both hope ia
be big point-winners in those events
In the near future the American
committee is expected to announce
plans for raising fund to defray the
expenses of the Yankee team.
