FATHERLESS TO FATHERLESS, Millionaire Keeps Faith Alter Second i Opportunity. i ' Washington Herald. i J As provider for 150 widows and father to 3oO orphans, Charles Page, ( of Tulsa, Okla., is realizing here the 1 dream of a life that matches fiction? s * a life with a moral woven in. The story of his rise from nothing c to millions is really the story of a vow made in boyhood, broken in ' youth and fulfilled in maturity. It is the story of success and failure alternating. Charles Page's father died when the boy was 10, and most of the family's property went to pay the doctor bill. As the lad struggled for a living in a little Wisconsin village he prom-j lsed himself that once he attained wealth he would help others in the circumstances he suffered then. .uaue a rvrvuiic. After years of adversity he ruade his way to the Northwest and took up the lumber business. "0ne morning I awakened and realized I was no longer poor,'' he said, "I knew I had reached the point at which I had promised myself I would _ start helping others. And I knew ij > was not doing it." The vow forgotten Charles Page' went ahead making money. A few! months passed and a deal turned wrong. He went "broke." He looked upon the wreckage of his fortune, * and once more vowed he would help others if he were able?again. His second success came after he had been through the Cripple Creek gold rush and had come to Oklahoma and the oil fields. Builds Orphans' Home. On the present site of Sand Springs, seven miles from here, he had a tent pitched. He sent a family of Beveral orphaned children there and hired a man to care for them. From that time on the Sand Springs Orphan's Home has grown. The Page foundation is not an "asylum." It is truly a home. <jnu-|i dren taken there consider it such. ! Some of them marry from it. Boys are given a start in business. Scores ! find the work they prefer in the various Page enterprises. A number of widows with families have been given cottages and are provided with food, clothing and fuel.? o RICH AMERICANS VISITING PARIS USELESS WASTERS Paris, Sept. 12.?"Olive Thomas certainly believed she was acting for a film on the fateful morr'ng she mistakenly partook of the poison for a sleeping potion." While the body of the beautiful American movie star rests in the Paris morgue for tomorrow's autopsy | which the judicial authorities ordered \ yesterday in order to ascertain exactly under what circumstances she swallowed mercurial tablets, all Paris continues to discuss the untimely death of Jack Pickford's wife and the above statament was made by Princess IHvtcr nf Avaresco, cuuusiu ui mug ? . Rumania, in an exclusive interview with Universal Service, The prin-j cess is the famous authority on femi-j nine psychology. She also is a historian and was an official lecturer on "contemporary history" with the American troop in the war. Cannot View Remains Meanwhile no one was allowed to view or touch the remains of the j beautiful movie star with the exception of sworn doctors and poison; ( experts. "The case of Olive Thomas,*' said Princess Acaresco, "is the most interesting of its kind in many years. After a careful study of the known circumstances, I do not hesitate to state my belief that, under the hyperexcitement incident to a night's sojourn amidst Parisian dancing scenes, Olive entirely lost her sense of realty on that fatal morning. "The barrier between her real personality and her theatrical one had completely disappeared. She certainly believed she was acting for a film. "It was only the unbearable burning or the poisoning drug which startled her back to real life and caused her to call for help. "Generally speaking," said the princess who has a wide acuaintancel Among Americans, "I am vastly disappointed in the Americans visiting Paris since the war. The ordinary doughboy, whose life I shared for months, unquestionably was vastly superior to the present crowd of sightseers. Rich Americans Useless Wasters "The American fighting man was 1 o ?toan nnriirht hov. Even the least educated among them had ideals, while the great majority of the present rich American visitors are useless wasters, eager only to indulge in the sights and sensations which gold can buy in Paris while they disregard the beautiful side of the French capital. "The atmosphere of Paris today is deteriorated by American pleasure seekers and is decidedly dangerous for American girls." "Paris undoubtedly 1b a great dander to young and inexperienced girls who have not developed their will power,'' said Gertrude Dingman, director of the work of the Young Women's Christian Association in France. "Many American girls," she added are lured by the reputed glamor of ' Parisian pleasure resorts. They love their natural restraint and moral if stamina upon arriving here." Prohibition in the United States was blamed for the unrestrained actions of Americans in Paris by Cortland Bishop, former president of the ? Aero club of America and one of the best known Americans in Paris. "A dry America," he said, "is responsible for the orgies of certain Americans in Paris. Unable to obtain champagne openly in America they indulge violently as soon as they leave American ports. "If prohibition continues in the United States I predict that twentyfive per cent of the Americans visiting Europe will be physical wrecks ere a month's stay. Taking Lawyer's Advice. A man in a western town was hurt i n a railroad accident, and after be- ' ng confined to his home for several J veeks he appeared on the streets valking with the aid of crutches. f "Hello, old fellow," greeted an ac- i liiamtance, rushing up to shake his: land. "I am certainly glad to see you, iround again." "Thanks," responded the injured >ne. "I am glad to be around again."
