ROCKEFELLER GIVES
Away 100000, 900
100000 for Raise in Teachers Pay
Immediate Use Of Fund
Authorized.

The largest amnunt Of money ever
given by John d. Rockefeller at one
time was announced yesterday The
sum is Sl00,000,000 $4,000, 900 each
to the general education board and the
Rockefeller foundation. This benefac-
tion has raised the known total of Mr..
Rockefeller's gifts to philanthropy TO
SAP, 100000, and it is understood that
unrecorded private gifts to churches
and his other personal charities will
make the total close to $500, 1000 900
The latest gifts were announced by
the two boards in their offices at No 81
Broadway. The $50000,000 to the gen.
eral education board was given with
the recommendation that both principal
and interest be used "as promptly and
as largely as may seem wise" in some
plan of increasing the salaries Of the
teaching stats Of colleges and universe
ties in the United States
The gift to the Rockefeller founda
ton is made without restriction, except
that Mr.. Rockefeller directs the trus.
tees to utilize both principal and in,
come for any Of the corporate purposes
which, as stated in the charter, are TO
promote the well being Of mankind
throughout the world. Mr. Rockefel-
Ter, however, indicates he would be
pleased TO have any part of the gift
used TO promote medical education in
Canada, and President George T. Vim
cent announced that the trustees would
be asked to appropriate S5,0O0,O00 for
that purpose.

United States Leads in pib Iron.

The United States now leads the
world in pig iron output, the National
Bank of Commerce in New York de-
clares in the December issue Of its
magazine, Commerce Monthly, in ad-
dition, our annual output OF this metal
has greater value than that Of any
other single manufactured commodity
produced in this country, or Of all the
rest Of our metals put together.
The United States now produces
more than half of the entire pig iron
output Of the world Commerce
Monthly says. Thus, while in 1900
but l3,7s9,242 gross tons were pro-
duced, in 1918 our total output was
39,054,644 tons, Iron manufacture is
aggregated in comparatively few dis
tricts, determined by the convenience
Of the coke and ore supplies. Pennsyl
yania produces two.iifths of the coun,
try's pig iron; Ohio manufactures a
little more than one-fifth
Our imports and exports Of pig iron
are negligible compared with produc-
ton Our imports come mainly from
the United Kingdom and have been de-.
creasng Most Of our exports 20 to
Italy Canada and the United Kingdom
and have been increasing The United
Kingdom imports about half her iron
ore supply for pig iron manufacture.
The cost Of production Of British iron
and steel has been tremendously in
creased as a result Of the war. At pres
ent, America can undersell British pro-
ducers in all the markets OF the world,
but il is not a safe assumption that
this condition will be permanent"

HARVA ARRIVES

Interest in Contest with University of
Oregon Is Increasing as the Day
for Game Approaches.

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 26The arrival
of the Harvard football team which is
to meet the University of Oregon eleven
on New Years day increased interest in
the choice of officials for the game.
Although the names of number of
eastern and western men have been
mentioned no announcement of the se-
lection of officials is expected before
tomorrow.
Whether the players will wear iden-
tifying numbers on the field also is not
settled During the past season the
Oregon team carried the numbers in
every game, but the Harvard manage
ment has not yet announced whether
the system viii be>adopted
With interest almost equal to that
displayed in the arrival of the Harvard
team, enthusiasts who have not yet
obtained tickets of admission, followed

ABOUT $500 AMpUTATIoNs.
Neoessitating Artificial Limbs for A. E.
F. Men.

As a result of war injuries suffered
by our forces overseas, it is estimated
that the number of major amputations
Computations of an arm or leg or both
was about $500. One Of the functions
of the bureau of war risk insurance
at Washington is to supply artificial
limbs to those disabled in the service.
To date, 1866 artificial legs and 704
artificial arms have been thus sup
piled. As rapidly as possible the re,
naming disabled men will be fitted
Artificial limbs OF the peg type were
used by the ancient Egyptians and the
Romans. The first jointed artificial leg
was invented in 1853 by Count de
Beaufort, a French gallant, who found
the awkwardly protruding peg leg a
hindrance to polite drawing room in.
tercourse, In his own peg leg he put a
hinge held in place by a short iron
pin. When the count wished TO sit down
he pulled the pin and bent the leg;
wishing to rise, he Strengthened out
the hinge and reinserted the pin.
How Artificial Limbs are Made.
The manufacture Of artificial limbs
received a wonderful impetus during
the American Civil war, many improve
ments in the product resulting The
artificial limbs are not made of cork;
they used TO be known as seork legs
from the fact that so many of them
were made in Cork, Ireland. They
are made of wood, followed out, over
which rawhide is shrunk to prevent
the wood from cracking or splitting.
Satisfactory joints and forms of move
ment make the present style of arti-
fetal legs not a hardship to wear, and
with practice they are easy to "nego-
tiate," so that remarkable running and
leaping stunts are possible. 1t has been
found by the bureau of war risk in
suranee that it is more difficult to find
and fit a satisfactory artificial hand,
the type most generally in use being
finished with hook instead OF hand.
Both training and patience are required
in learning how to use the artificial
hands with accuracy and facility.
