Thunder growls round the high

of the nearer waterfalls; the rain
plunges in yet darker masses, and
rises in whiter spray from the

earth and shale slides from the
broad yellow face of an ancient land

Too Many Children in His Shoe.

rounded by seven children. They all
called her mamma"
II haven't seen Mr.. Sullivan for
more than year and half" mused
Mrs. Sullivan, as she patted into
place stray lock of a little girl.
"The singular thing about my di-
vorce is that it was granted on the
fifth anniversary Of my son McKen-
zie's death, in whose memory / es-
tablished the nursery.
"Mr. Sullivan didn't at first object
to my bringing the babies into the
home.
"He is possessed Of the thing
called wanderlust. He couldn't be
contented anywhere six minutes.
Start of the Work
"The establishment Of my nursery
was an odd happening. One day
when Mr.. Sullivan had gone on an
--
automobile trip I sat looking at the
yard, and remarked to my son
that it was a crime that there were
no youngsters to enjoy it, and
straightway made up my mind to go
into the slums and get some child.
II went to the Paulist nursery.
The child l got looked as if it
couldn't live.
"My son, Mckenzie, was stricken
with diphtheria and died within a
few days.
II knew that if I allowed myself
to think Of his death I should 20
mad. So I decided to turn over my
home to the poor little kidd,es of the
slums. ! thought that caring for
them would console me to some ex-
tent.
"That was five years ago. Since
that time have taken care Of many
little babies"
At present Mrs Sullivan is taking
care Of the house without a single
servant. She goes about her work
as calmly as if she had one baby in a
bungalow.
Going to California
"Just as soon as I can complete
arrangements am going to take
them all out to the sunshine and
roses of California"

Like a Tudor Palace

One Akron residence, modelled
after Tudor palace, is more than
400 feet long, and if you were told
how much it cost you would not be-
lieve it. The owner of the palace
hired an expensive architect by the
year and told him to go to England
and for the first few months or a
year DO nothing but gather ideas.
With an unlimited expense account
The architect browsed about famous
old English estates, taking note of
what he saw. In a number of in
stances he made plaster of paris
casts of holdings. He even bought
tons of seasoned timber from old
castles and such places.
There was a certain kind of mar
row, odd-sized brick that it was de-
sired to use in the construction of
the house, to correspond with the
brick in certain old English palace.
The brick in this palace had little
dents all over he surface, as if made
New-York tribune., 1920-08-22
Transplanted a Forest

Another well-to-do Akronite picked
as site for his new house hilltop
which commanded fine view, but
which lacked trees. So he trans.
planted an entire woods. Even yet
the layout did not suit him. What
he wanted was a birch woods in the
distance. So he went to New Hamp-
shire, bought a nice little birch
woods and brought it to Akron on
couple of freight trains. Then hs
took another trip, to Virginia, where
he dug up train load of mountain
laurel.
An Akron banker had some rubber
stock few years ago which he re.
garded as practically worthless. In
fact, it was worse than worthless,
for the reason that he was afraid
that it might be assessed. He offered
to sell it for 10 cents on the dollar,
then 10 cents a share and finally
to give it away. He would even
have paid bonus to anybody Wild
would have taken the stock off hi,
hands. About that time the auto.
mobile came into its own and thu
tire industry began to boom. Ths
stock doubled and quadrupled, ami
then did it all over again. To-da1
that stock which the banker triei
to give away is worth about Sl2.

The Golden Flood

To get an idea of the money that
keeps pouring into Akron, bear in
mind that there are now more than
100000 automobiles in use, that
something like rs per cent of the
tires are made in Akron, that each
car will wear out, on the average,
one set of tires a seasonal an
average cost of, say, from s25 to
$35 tire-a total Of nearly $780,
100000 year received in Akron for
renewals alone And then there are
all the tires for the nea0 automo-
biles.
A large per cent of the money
paid for these tires is profit. Now,
naturally, lot Of this money must
be spent, and an obvious way to
spend it is for. housing the people
who have it.
Many of these Akron homes ap-
proximate the size and spaciousness
of Machinery Hall at one of the big
expositions. They are larger, per-
haps, than is absolutely necessary
for an average-sized American fam
lily. But supposing you had $780,
100000 or S4O,000,00O and one of
your fellow townsmen put up a
dwelling place that was the talk of
the town and the sightseeing jitneys,
while you were living in nice little
place that attracted no particular
attention at all Wouldn't you be
tempted to spend at least one of
your millions for housing yourself
in such a way that you could look
your neighbors in the eye and keep
YOUR self-respect?

making such a trip with seven
babies, she remarked:
"No; have taken as many as
eight to my winter home in Florida. /"
Mrs. Sullivan means by "complet-
ing arrangements" that when she

Doesn't Fear the Trip

still retains, Mrs. Sullivan was sur

w been known for years as
''the mender of broken
hon,es.' But to-day that same
philanthropic trait that gained her
this title has brought about the dis
ruption of her own home, friends
say.
She has fled a suit for divorce
against her wealthy husband, charg-
inr him with desertion. According
to the bill, the husband left home
often. Mrs. Sullivan brought hap
uiness and health to hundreds of
babies and happiness to hundreds of
parents. She turned her home into
nursery Her husband left home
because he could not stand it.
1t is said that Mr.. Sullivan was
at first interested in her charitable
projects. He encouraged her and
complimented her, saying:
"You are doing q noble work"
Memorial for Her Son
1t was in seeking for a suitable
memorial for her son, Mckenzie
Lowndes, that Mrs. Sullivan, pos
sessed Of q great love for children,
decided to bring the suffering tots
Of poor parents into the beautiful
Sullivan home, at 846 Kenesaw
Terrace.
Her first contingent consisted of
FIVE youngsters.
She sought out little ones who
we're suffering from diseases brought
on by their lack of care.
During the course of her philan-
thropies she had at times as many
as fifty children in her home.
They were fed, dressed we'll and
given toys and medical attention, and
when they were quite happy and
we'll Mrs. Sullivan usually took
steps to return them to their own
homes. And in the meantime she
had Investigated these homes and
made them materially comfortable
for the reception of the children.
In time hundreds of waits from
the tenements had been brought to
this great, airy home. They found
it filed with toys and things which
they had never dreamed existed
For the children it was like visit
to some land spoken of in the fairy
tales that were recounted to them.
Meant Discomfort
All this meant work for Mrs. Sui
livan-and time. 1t also meant sac
rifice for the occupants Of the house
and some Of the comforts they were
accustomed to. But Mrs. Sullivan
enjoyed every feature of the work.
She was doing for the little children
she loved. 1t helped her to forget
some OF the things she might have
done for her own son.
But whether Mr.. Sullivan enjoyed
the interest Mrs. Sullivan took in
the work is rot known. He pro-
5essed interest. But he found that
his wife could not devote q great
deal of attention to him.
Mrs. Sullivan had dreams. She

A Lake on a Hill

An Akron man built his home on
top of a hill. 1t had long been his
ambition to have a lake in his front
yard, and he spoke of this detail to
his landscape architect. He said he
wanted not only a lake, but a brook,
and the water was to come trickling
through the brook over some moss
covered logs into the lake.
The landscape designer called the
mans attention to few of the diff
culties in the way.
"In the first place" he said, your
grounds are on top of hill, and the
hill is mostly sand. There is no
source for brook, and even if there
We're, the water would run out Of
your lake as fast as it ran in.
"I've thought of all that" ad-
mitted the multi millionaire, "but I
intend to have my brook and lake
just the same. III seal the bottom Of
the lake with concrete over wire
mesh and drill a dozen or so ar
tesian wells, if necessary, to provide
water for the brook. Then We'll GO
out into the woods and transplant a
young forest, including a thousand
or so of moss covered logs. All we'll
require then will be a power plant
to pump water from the artesian
wells and everything will be COM
plete."
My recollection is that he did it,
too!
