Each new patient In the ward has
her sympathy and humor to cheer up

The little squirrel that climbs in the

Although she must wear heavy body

OXFORD UNION ASKS
FOR REPAIRING FUNDS
Old Members Urged to Pay for
Putting New Roof on Noted
Library Building.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
OXFORD, England, June 29.-An
appeal is being made to old members
of the Oxford Union for $4,000 which
is necessary for the saving of the so
ciety's buildings. Such appeals are
most unusual in Oxford, but this one
is justified by an architects statement
that the roof of the Union Library
though comparatively new, cannot
withstand the storms of another
Winter.
This library has been from the first
an ill-omened structure 1t was upon
its upper walls that Rosetti, Burne-
Jones, Morris and the young pre-
Raphaelites painted the famous fresco
scenes from the Morte d'Arthur-a
series of wall paintings probably
never surpassed in England-only to
see them peel off with the damp and
the rotting plaster within 10 or -
years.
The inside of the high roof, which
is now giving way, was decorated and
designed by William Morris and is
worthy of note no less for its beauty
than for the fact that here he first
became aware of his abilities in this
form of art.

She was looking around at other

BRAND, who. between negotiating the
pact with the allies and Germany and
helping his cabinet colleagues push
toward settlement Of the inter-allied
debts, finds time to do some serious

society portrait painter, arrived there
a. few days ago. He overheard a con
tractor for redecorations of the Casino
complaining he had no one to finish
the last panel of the facade wall.
s''Are you looking for a painter
asked Vandongen.
rrYes." replied the contractor; "are
you one?"
E"Oh, dabble in paint a little" re.
piled the artist.
Then get to work at once" said
the contractor.
All day Vandongen, in a long white
blouse, labored on lettering what was
really only an advertising panel.
When he had finished, the contractor
asked:
r'How much?"
Thirty thousand francs" replied
Vandongen, to the stupefled con-
tractor, who thought the painter had
gone mad. Finally, the artist re-
vealed his identity and the contractor
agreed to pay the price.

This to the sympathetic passenger in

Having reached a decision as to
the proper procedure to follow under

relief of the tailored young lady with
the now wet knees, abandoned her

few moments. Then she spied a ia

EM|GRANT FRAUDS
DODGE PUNISHMENT
SmuggIers in Italy Can Be
Given Only Light Fine
Under Present Law.
Correspondence OF The Star and New
Vnr6 UnrfA


GENOA, July 1.-The growing num-
Der of emigration frauds, especially
in connection with would-be emigrants
to the United States, cause the Italian
magistrates to wish the penal code
had some provision for furnishing the
gang at Genoa, Naples and Trieste,
who make big profits by smuggling
their victims aboard ships with false
passports.
Italy's penal code has no special re-
gard for the emigrant smuggler for
the simple reason that when it was
drawn up emigration was a free
thing. So the judge who tries such
cases can only impose fines ranging
from $40 to $50 for infringement of
the emigration act, or merely formal
disobedience of certain bylaws.
SmuggIer Fined SEQ.
Recently an emigrant smuggler.
Enrico Costas, caught red-handed as
he was smuggling emigrants into
France by way of the mountains, to
embark them from Marseille for
Mexico, whence. they were to get into
the United States, could only, by law,
be punished with a fine Of 200 lire,
under $50.
The most to be pittied are the
smuggled emigrants themselves.

and, to start with, pay out sums vary

To get this sum and enough for the
trip, they sell all their possessions
house, land, furniture-and are either
taken over the Alps between Italy
and France, or slowed away on some
ship bound for Canada or Mexico.
Money Is Extorted.
When in France they are the
guests of one of the smuggling
gang. who does not let them embark
till their last dime has been extorted
In many cases they never get into
the States, or even into Canada, but
come back without a cent to their
name.
1t Is calculated that, for every 100

RECOGNITION ASKED
FOR FAMOUS WOMEN
Susan B. Anthony Foundation Says
Schools Give False Idea of
Part in History.

Declaring that inadequate recogni

achievements by the people of the

The foundation, which was founded
to the late Susan B. Anthony. declares
in the resolution adopted that but
slight mention has been made of the
famous women in the text books OF
the public and private schools of the
country, and that boys and girls are
accordingly given one-sided view OF
democracy as represented by both men
and women"
Accordingly. the foundation Is ask
ing the curriculum commission, which
has recently been meeting in Cincin.
natl, to recommend observance of the
anniversaries of the birth of such
women as Miss Anthony, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone. Frances
E. Willard and Clara Barton, and that
pictures of such women be hung in
public schools. It is recommended
also that full histories of famous
women be included in biographies. en-.
cyclopedias and in other books.
1t was resolved to send copies OF
the resolution adopted to each of the
following:
United States commissioner of edu
cation, the president of the National
Education Association, the president
of the department of superintendent
the chairman of the curriculum com
mission. the president of the National
