greatest number-Such as his kinder
garten, children's home, park and
girls home, referred to. w. A. Clark
Jr., seems to have adopted the same
principle in his giving to Deer Lodge
penitentiary a theater which is not
duplicated in the United States as an
individual gift. To tighten the sor-
rows of those who have lost their
liberty, and many of whom will never
again know the freedom of the high
ways and by-ways of life, was the in
spiration of hat generous act.

On Senator Clark's office walls
and in his New York home and office,
are pictures of the Columbia Gardens
on children's day.
Some people will hardly believe
me when l tell them that these gar
dens are 5000 feet above sea level
and are virtually perched on the con-
tinental divide. / enjoy children's
day at the gardens every Thursday,
whether | am here or not. There is
so much real pleasure in giving en-

efficient and in ship-shape. 1 take
pride in that, but | see so many men
who, as long as they live, love money
just because it is money-and they
keep on loving money for its Own
sake until they die. l like every
thing l am connected with to be
stamped with success, but amassing
and more money is not my OBJ
ject. l enjoy having happy, pros
porous employees and l treasure the
good will and love of my associates
and fellow citizens"
OF personal philanthropies Mr..
Clark never talks.
Helping some inc here or there
is a private matter; everyone does a
good deal of that, whether he is rich
or poor"
Down in Clarkdale, a town we
practically own, I was worried very,
very much, because the 1900 citizens
were all practically my people. l did
really need a new smelter, but ]

The senator is not overly optimis-
ic over the copper situation. Dis
it, he said:
There is a tremendous amount of
Upper on hand. The European mar
is not recovering as fast as it
yas hoped. Peace was long delayed
nd trade could only revive with
eace. Germany's financial condi-
ion is improving, but very slowly,
