ASKED
TO HELP GIVE
AWAY FORTUNE
Wealthy Man Wants Sugges'
tiOns on How to Dis
tribute Millions

New York, July 2l.-tP)-Leopold
Scheep, 80 years old, today asked the
public for suggestions as to the best
way in which he could distribute his
millions.
He recently established a founda-
tion with $2,500,000 trust fund to
assist deserving young boys. In ad-
dition, he has distributed some $3,-
100000 in individual donations, lump
sum gifts and pensions.
Now he wants to accelerate the
distribution of other millions. but
desires to canvass the entire public
Of philanthropy with a view to de-
termine the way which will afford
the quickest and surest relief to
those who need and merit help and,
at the same time, offer some per-
manent good to society.
II wish to make philanthropy .
study" he said, land will be glad
to entertain any sugge stions that
can be made on the subject.
1--WE are now paying up to $4O,OOO
a month from the foundations fund.
but it is not moving fast enough to
suit me, and | want to broaden the
scope of the work"
His one ambition for the remain
der of his life is to have some small
part in the distribution of his money
toward leasing the hurts of those
caught between the millstones of
life"
'The custom of leaving large sums
of money to few people is wrong
he said. ut makes the recipients lazy
in mind and body. 1t would be so
much better, thought, to spread it
out in way of equipping a num-
bcr of people-or re-establishing
those who are now handicapped-so
they may face the requirements Of
life with better chance of making
a real success Of it,"
As illustrating the type Of sug-
gestion he hopes to obtain, he said
he had considered some general
scheme of assisting young women,
now equipped only for positions as
clerks or cash-girls, to become gov
ernesses.
The boys foundation fund involves
the payment of few hundred dol
lars to each boy .who subscribes to
the required agreement and lives up
to it for three years.

Mr.. Ford to scrap most of the 200

version to Diesel engine propulsion

also use some of the engines and 9TH

Chicago, July 2l.--t4p More soap

ipe.
Keep your neck clean and your
hair combed," is the injunction Of
beauty experts here attending the
annual convention Of the American
cosmetitians society.
Women will create their own fads
this year and wear their hair as
they please. so beauty experts are
giving their attention to teaching
patrons that inconspicuous makeup.
clean face and neck are the marks
Of the gcntlewoman and really are
becoming.
A permanent wave made without
electricity that lies flat like n mar

other is IA new haircut. a deep mar
eel pushed back off the ears with
the back hair clipped close.
Bobbed hair will be as popular
for another year as it has been. the
experts believe, for short hair is no
longer fad--it's the custom of the
country.
