Bank of Human Kindness
Compelled To Suspend
SEATTLE, May 12.—(JP)—Moved
by the desire to help needy and wor
thy prisoners, William Pigott, a phil
anthropic local manufacturer, put up
$500 a few months ago to aid the
down and out. The money was to
be loaned only on the security of hu
man nature, a promise to pay with
in 30 days, and its disbursement was
entirely in the hands of Justice of
the Peace C. C. Dalton.
Prisoners brought before the judge
were advanced sums ranging from
$2 to $20. The $500 was in due
course drawn on heavily, but only
one loan, for $2, has been repaid.
Two other debtors came back and
asked for more time, but all the
others vanished quickly. The judge
and the philanthropist, somewhat
more cynical, have suspended dis
bursements, at least temporarily.
The advances were confined to
prisoners released by the court or
discharged after serving terms in the
county jail.
“I wouldn’t have believed it,” said
Judge Dalton recently. “It looked
like a fine idea, helping the lowly,
retrieving lost souls and all that
sort of thing. But, hang it all, the
souls won’t be saved, and so we’ve
:got to save what’s left of the bank.”
Russian peasants have again been
permitted to have firearms as pro
tection against wolves, which have
killed more than 60 people.

WASHINGTON TO HAVE
CONCRETE AUDITORIUM
FOR UNUSUAL MUSIC
(JP)—A single story structure where |
concerts featuring the unusual in mu- |
sic are to be given, is rising in the i
court yard of the famed Congression- I
al Library. The rectangular build- (
ing, the gift to Congress of Mrs. J
Frederic Churtliff Coolidge of Pitts- ]
field, Mass., will seat 511 persons. |
Herbert Putnam, librarian of Cong
ress, is of the opinion that the pro
grams from the auditorium will be
broadcast by radio. Music now' on
the shelves of the Congressional Li
brary for reference purposes will be
included in the programs. The con
ductor will have 1,000,000 pieces
from w'hich to select.
The auditorium is being erected un
der the supervision of David Lynn,
architect of the Capitol, from de
signs by Chas. A. Platt of New' York,
consulting architect. Mrs. Coolidge’s
original gift was $60,000, but she add
ed an additional $30,000 and provided
an endowment of $25,000 annually.
Under her plan, prizes will be award
ed for original compositions perform
ed in public for the first time at con
certs given under the auspices of the
Library of Congress.
Mrs. Coolidge set forth her concep
tion of the mission of the auditorium
she presented in a letter, in which
she said:
“I have wished to make possible
through the Library of Congress, the
composition and performance of mu
sic in ways w'hich might otherwise
be considered too unique or too ex
pensive to be ordinarily undertaken.
Not this alone, of course, nor w'ith
a view to extravagance for its own
sake; but as an occasional possibili
ty of giving precedence to considera
tions of quality over those of quanti
ty; to artistic rather than to econo
mic values; and to opportunity rath
er than to experiment.
“For this reason, I believe that ad
vice should be sought from broad
minded and disinterested musicians,
whether or not official—whether or
not professional. And, for the same
reason, I hope that the audience may
be chosen very largely frojn.. those
whose musical taste and experience
qualify them to listen sincerely and
appreciatively.”
Vicksburg Will Honor
Its Pioneer Settlers
VICKSBURG, Miss., May 12.—(fP)
—The story of Vicksburg’s hundred
years and of the first American to
settle here, the Rev. Newitt Vick, a
Methodist minister from Virginia,
will be told in a series of- historical
pageants as part of the celebration
May 14 and 15 of the city’s centen
nial. Vicksburg .was incorporated
January 29, 1825, but it was decided
to wait until spring to celebrate
the centennial.
. One of the pageants will portray
the early struggles of Spanish and
French conquerors, another the fight
ing between Union and Confederate
armies, while others will show’ the
country along the Mississippi river
under four flags, French, Spanish,
Confederate and United States.
There was once on old Spanish for
tress here called Fort Nogales, but
it was almost forgotten when, about
the 1812, Mr. Vick and his family
took possession of several hundred
acres along the river and the minis
ter plotted it off, saying he was
“laying the foundations of a great
city.” He and his wife died in 1819
of yellow fever, but a son-in-law, the
Rev. John Lane, took up the work
and lived to see a town of some 2,
500 to 3,000 here by 1835.
The pioneer settlers of Vicksburg,
which now has approximately 20,
000 population, came chiefly from
Virginia, the Carolinas and Kentucky.
Chocolate candy valued at $15,000

Mechanical Movie Camera
Now In Use At Hollywood
HOLLYWOOD, May 11.—(JP)—Me
chanical genius, as well as the crea
tive powers of dramatic art which
flourish in this moving picture col
ony, has given a third hand, a me
chanical one, to the moving picture
photographer.
Heralding the days when the pop
ular conception of the photographer,
intently turning a camera crank with
his cap twisted about on his head,
will be gone, motor driven cameras
have recently been placed in opera
tion.
The device is a small motor attach
ed to the camera and connected in
such a way as to insure regularity
of speed. A press of a button on
the tripod lends the desired speed,
while the cameraman turns his at
tention elsewhere until the scene is
“shot.” The pressing of another but
ton stops the camera.
While the “third hand,” directors
says, insures regularity of speed
more effectively than the most ex
pert cameraman, the attention of

Prince wasn’t Particular How
Large Map Showed Country
BERLIN, May 11.—(/P)—An amus
ing story is told here by a publisher
of geographical maps. A Mongolian
prince recently visited Berlin to place
an order for maps of his country.
The publisher was glad to get the
order, but told the prince that the
latest maps he had were published
before the war.
“I must confess,” said the publish
ed, “that I don’t know the exact
boundaries of your country at pres
ent. Haven’t you some material
that will tell me how to draw the
boundary lines?”
'“No, I haven’t,” was the reply. “But
it doesn’t matter. Just you draw the
boundaries a3 wide as possible, so
that my people may see how large
their country’ is.”
