ENGAGED IN SPLENDID WORK
New York School Devoted to the Task
Of Making CrippIes and Unfortu-
mates Self Supporting.

From his association with the late
Rev. III. Boswell Bates, founder of the
NeighbOrhOod house, George A. Mer-
rift learned how little was being done
TO make cripples self-supporting and
how common, almost. universal, was
the belief that owing to various afflic-
lions these unhappy ones must always
be burden on others. This was not
his belief, and so strong did he hold
an opposite conviction that, with the
aid of few charitable persons whom
he inspired with it, he founded the
Path school at so West Twenty-Fifth
street. New York, in order to teach
cripples commercial and railroad teleg-
raphy and thus give to them that
greatest boon, a means of livelihood.
This school is still young, but it has
already proved itself many times over.
1T trains legless, armlesS and de-
formed persons, but especially the
young who are thus afflicted, either in
the course laid out by the school or in
some other line most suitable to indi-
V1dual cases. 1t is free TO all, non-sec-
tartan, and it has already in its short
life lifted nearly so poor creatures
from a state of dependence, or even
perjury, to positions where by honest
labor they earn from SIP to SIS per
week and haves the joy that comes
from self-support.

elsie of Artists"

An island in Lake Como is to be
known as the Isle of Artists" And
thereby hangs tale. The owner OF
the island Sig. Caprini, was great ad.
mirer of King Albert Of Belgium, and
in his will he left it to him with the
wish that it might serve some noble
purpose which Italy could share. King
Albert, through his minister of arts
and sciences, has handed over the
property to the Italian government
with the object of making the spot q
restful retreat and center of activity
for those who have devoted their lives
to art. Under the Academy of Milan
villas are to be built for artists and
the place will be transformed into a
little capital for promoting the fine and
industrial arts in the Italian lakes dis

Why Ship Is Feminine.

A ship is invariably spoken Of as
of the feminine gender; this is traced
to the ancient Greeks, who called all
ships feminine names out of respect
to Athene, goddess of the sea. Friday

those who are superstitious. 1t is de-
rived from the fact it was the day of
Christ's crucifxion. as well as the one
on which Adam and Eve ate the for

at least one or two major social in

CBy Associated Press)

Chicago, July determination of
the special panel of 100 veniremen
called for jury service in the baseball
trial got under way today after Judge
Hugo Friend had denied defense mo-
ton to squash the indictment against
the Chicago white soX players and
,others charged with conspiring to
throw the 1919 world series.
Questioning of six men examined
by the prosecution indicated that the
state would depend primarily on the
testimony of men believed to have
been in the alleged conspiracy and
reported to have turned states evil
dence. Every prospective juror was
questioned at length concerning the
value he would attach to the testi-
mony of a co-conspirator and as to
whether he found fault with the Hi
nois law that man may be convict
ed on the un-corrObrated testimony of
an accomplish.
The list of witnesses read into the
court record today by the state con-
tanned the names of William Burns,
indicted but never apprehended, so
far as is publicly known, and of Billy
Maharg, of Philadelphia. Maharg
told many details of the alleged con-
spiracy in an interview before any
indictments were returned and state
officials have said privately that it
was through his story primarily that
a grand jury conviction was obtained
from Eddie Cicotte, white sox pitch
er .Maharg was not indicted.
Of the six men examined two were

British Claim No
Undue Reservation
Made on Oil Land
(By Associated Press)

London, July 5.-A white paper"
on the oil situation was given out
today. 1t is in the form of a note
which Lord Curzon the foreign sec
Iretary, sent to Sir Auckland Geddes,
British Ambassador to the Unitsa
States, under date of April 81. which
enclosed for the ambassadors in
formation in reply to his inquiry, a
memorandum compiled by the British
petroleum department giving Stats
ties on the oil resources of every part
of the British empire and showing
an extremely small oil production and
the absence of any general policy for
the exclusion of foreigners from the
oil producing areas.
The memorandum says that in vast
areas where there are no restrictions
no foreign country has attempted to
explore for oil except in British
North Borneo, while in Canada and
Trinidad where restrictions are en-
forced, foreign capital has been
working for many years.
ut can therefore hardly be con-
tended the restrictions imposed any
serious disability on foreign enter
drawn between the Britishrdluetaoin
prises," the memorandum said.
"No real parallel can fairly be
drawn between the British Empire
with its small and scattered produc-
ton and a country like the United
States, producing two thirds of the
worlds output within her home ter
ritory.
