In addition to which the machine’s
alphabet is badly chewed as to legs

from intermittent paralysis. S^me

Others have bold, black faces. 'Ihe

mechanism generally is decrepit, and
limps heavily through the affairs of
state only under the severest Presi

it is far from faultless, but he likes

that it has no hyphen.
You couldn't get a typewritten line
out of the President on any machine
but this one—not even with a dark
lantern and a jimmie. White House
humorists say he has hand-raised the
poor old thing so long he has de
veloped a personal attachment for it.
If so, that is the only valuable attach

For years and years the ancient

I And pecking is right, for Mr. Wilson
i is a disciple of the Hunt system, or
forefinger hesitation. Wherefore it
1 may be said that this is the only
typewriter that ever had the distinc

The Joys and Clothes
4 of Yule tide 4
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoeni>run gist Tailoring

will appeal to you at th;$ time because it's tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

[BUILDING TOWN FOR WIDOWS,
ORPHANS AND GRANDMOTHERS
SAND SPRINGS, Okla., Nov. 27.—
This town was built for widows. They
compose more than a fourth of the
5,000 population. The town was
founded by Charles Page, multi-mil
lionaire oil producer of Tulsa. His
earliest recollections were of his
mother’s efforts to raise her large
|
family unaided and he resolved that
when he grew up he would take care
: of all the widows.
When he made his fortune, Page
i began to find empolyment for widows
in Tulsa. They became so numerous
he decided to build a town for them.
So he founded Sand Springs. He
built dozens of comfortable cottages
in which gas, fuel and rent wore free.
Factories he bought so that the wid
ows might have employment. He
built a car line to Tulsa upon which
widows ride free. There is a day
nursery, free medical attandance and
a vocational school. If a widow wants
to get married, Page helps her do
that. He likes grandmothers, too.
There is a score of them here with
nothing to do but knit and read and
reminisce.
Page, probably, has more children
than any other man in the world. An
orphans’ home in a nearby town re
cently went bankrupt. To better
provide for the little inmates, Page
legally adopted the whole institution
ahd moved it to Sand Springs.
