being succeeded by w. AverilI Har-
riman Kermit Roosevelt stimuli
taneously laid down the secretary
ship and assistant-treasurership,
but Joined the Kerr Steamship Com
pany as vice-president There are
suggestions that it was desired to
link up such 100 per cent Amerl-
can" names as Goethals. Kermit
Roosevelt and Parmely Herrick
(son of ex-Ambassador Myron T.
Herrick), with the scheme in order
that its simon-pure patriotic"
character might not be open TO the
slightest question.
1t would be exceedingly interest
ing. and perhaps dismiss all doubts
as to the propriety of the twenty
year cooperative" agreements
with the German line. If the full
text OF the agreements could be
made public. Thus far. Admiral
Benson has supplied only a cursory
and general summary" of them.
No Logical Objection.
As the vessels which the shipping
Board. under the agreements, is to
place on the former trade routes of
the Hamburg American line are
governmental out Of public
funds, there can be no objection, it
was urged in Washington yesterday,
to taking the public fully into the
Shipping Boards confidence This
would seem to be all the more dcsir-
able, as it has been mooted here for
months, and long before there was
any inkling Of the project, that a
scheme was under way to put the
German mercantile marine on its
feet with American help and that the
Kerr concern would be the nucleus
of that development
The Kerr-Clegg combination GER
tainly enjoyed high favor at the
Board three years ago. It
not only received prompt inside" in
formation that the interned eight
Austrian liners could be purchased.
as they were almost instantaneOusly
purchased. but they were turned
over to the kerr-Clegg outfit on
amazingly advantageous terms.
Sought Credit for Purchase.
The Kerr-CIeEg concern convinced
the Shipping Board that it had
risked considerable capital in order
to preserve these ships for the Amer
lean flag" 1t had done so. Kerr
said. on the verbal promise Of Den
man, then chairman Of the Shipping
Board, that the vessels would not be
interfered with except in case of dire
emergency. The Shipping Board
therefore allowed Kerr the privilege
of two free trips" on each Of the
eight Austrian vessels-thst is. thir-
ty-two Atlantic ings-befOre
any reauisitioning of them for gov
ernment purposes.
The object Of these two free
trips" each, Kerr explained, was to
enable his concern to "rearrange
their finances" Persons who recall
the gigantic profits made by trans
Atlantic freight carriers in l9l7-IS
will be able to figure out to what
extent the Kerr concern probably
succeeded in "rearranCing" It's
finances under the Shipping Boaro =
generous concession.

Millionaire Swore When
Poor He Would Help
Others If Riches Came.
MADE TWO FORTUNES
Forgot Oath First Time and
Went Broke, Only to
Stage Comeback.

As provider for $50 widows and
father to 300 orphans. Charles Page,
4of Tulsa. Okla. is realizing here
the dream OF 4 litee that matches
tiction-a life. with moral
swoven in.
The story Of his rise from moth
ing to millions is really the story
Of a vow, made in boyhood. broken
in youth and fulfilled in maturity.
It is the story Of success and failure
alternating
Charles Pages father died when
the boy was 10, and most OF the
family's property went TO pay the
doctor bill.
AS the lad struggled for a living
in a little Wisconsin village he
promised himself that once he at
tained wealth he would help others
in the circumstances he suffered
then.
Made n Fortune.
After years Of adversely he made
his way to the Northwest and took
up the lumber business.
One morning l awakened and
realized 1 was no longer poor" he
said. L knew l had reached the
point at which I had promised my
self I would start helping others.
And I knew I was not doing It."
The vow forgotten. Charles Page
went ahead making money. 4 few
months passed and a deal turned
wrong. He went broke" He looked
upon the wreCkaEe of his fortune,
sand once more vowed he would help
others If he were able-again.
His second success came after he
had been through the Cripple Creek
gold rush and had come 10 Okla
hona and the oil helds.
Builds Orphans Home.
On the present site Of sand
Springs, seven miles from here. he
had tent pitched. He sent 4 samily
OF seven orphaned children there,
and hired a man to care for them.
From that time on. the Sand Springs
Orphans Home has grown.
The Page foundation is. not an
asylum" 1t is truly a home. Chill
dren taken there consider it such.
Some OF them marry from it. Boys
are given a start in business. Scores
find the work they prefer in the
various Page enterprises.
A number Of widows with fam
HES have been given cottages and
are provided with food, clothing and

CHINESE LIKE
BIRTHDAY TOYS
Children Happy in Gifts
Though Cruder Than
American Kind.
BY ELIZA CURTIS.

Canton, China, Sept. SOY mail)
DO you give your children toys on
their birthdays?
The Chinese do. And so shall
here after, because away out here.
thousands of miles from home in
the United States, l have learned
how much happiness it gives the
kiddies and how joyfully they look
forward to their birthday toys.
The Chinese children get their
birthday toys all on the same day
the Chinese New Year-because
no matter on what day Of the year
a Chinese child is born its birthday
is celebrated on the Chinese New
Year day. The child's age is fig
ured from New Year day to New
Year day and furthermore the Chi
nese child is called one year old on
the day of its birth and one year
older on the first New Year day
after It's birth.
Like Hundrsd Years Ago.
Then again the American toys
which 1 viii give my children will
be very different from the toys
which the Chinese children receive.
The Chinese toys are still like the
toys of 100 years ago and would
not be very well liked by our
American children, whereas the very
few American toys that find their
way into China are the very toys
that Chinese children l. l. rst. par
ticularly the American toys that are
mechanical or self propelIing, strong
wagons and dolls that open and
close their eyes and say Mama"
when squeezed.
Wooden puzzles made in the
United States sometimes get into
the hands OF the older Chinese chill
dren through missionaries and
American traders and are very pop
uIar
1t is difficult to pick out the most
interesting of my experiences in
studying Chinese children and their
playthings and play habits. but one
which l particularly remember was
encountering in small crooked,
dirty back alley of Shanghai
street vender of toys who blew
with the aid of thin seed pipe and
a bowl of soft taffy almost any
Kind OF candy animal of known or
unknown variety. boys. boats.
babies, muchc as glass blower
makes articles OF glass at a county
fair.
Ra~ Dolls Are Crude.
Some Chinese rag dolls have
sewed on noses and ears of paper
pasted roughly on with eyes and
other features crudeIy painted.
Other dolls have papier mache
heads and leather bodies with arms
and legs OF sun dried clay and
few have real hair in spots in
imitation OF the manner in which a
Chinese baby's head is shaved. Still
others-muCh priZed-have bellows
like bodies inside of which is n
whistle made of piece of swamp
reed. This doll emits doleful,
squeeky whistle when pressed. 1t
represents the nearest approach to
Chinese mama" doll.
The Costuming of Chinese dolls
consists generally of a sort Of chest
protector and pair Of trousers
which is the costume generally
worn in summer by Chinese chill
dren who call their dolls little
people"
