Their work was the first active move of the city's new committee on employment, formed to give relief and get jobs wherever possible.

But the corpuscles that had circulated in the veins of the Russian princess shouted: "May Never See Another" "Birthdays come but once a year. I may never see another." Crifston changed from his next-to-the-last dress shirt to his last and hurried to the most expensive of the night resorts discovered in a week of fager exploration. Inside the door he shouted: "Tonight is mine. A birthday comes only once a year, and a year Is long." To the head waiter he (aid.

Word spread down the street that a Russian had lifted off the lid, and soon there was pushing and Jostling at the door. Business In Montmartre has been none too brisk since Wall Street crumpled down; but Crlfston's birthday party brought bark for an evening the gay days of 1927 when dollars and pounds bought three times what they buy today. Walters hurried. Corks popped.

The kitchen force had to send for helpers.

The radicals, said to have the ap proval of Mussolini, wanted the two sexes treated on a basis of equal ity; the conservatives desired to see the gentle sex excluded from all participation la sports. When tne radicals got the upper hand they formed rifle teams of girls. The conservatives were stunned and then filled the columns of the press with protests. Such is the Latin mentality that anxious fathers and mothers of young girls feared for their chances of marriage if they were to don extra-short skirts. Vatican Opposed Move The rifle teams of girls were strongly opposed by the Vatican and were finally abolished.

In Italy, esoeciallv before the advent of fas cism, any departure by young girls from strictly conventional clothing was considered a symptom of eman-cination. and Italy Still frowns on the emancipated woman. The Grand Council, after a long debate, decided to steer a middle course, which it is honed will nlease all sides. The resolution reads: "The Grand Council of Fascism has ordered the president of the National Olympic Committee to revise the present regulations governing athletics for girls and women Is to define and limit the ex tent of their participation in public sports and exercises. How Practice Is Changed "TFor this purposs he is to consult the proper specialists and the heads of the federation of sporting clubs, it should be borne in mind that all SDorts or exercises which might Interfere with the functions of IM' ternity are to be avoided, for it is the natural and fundamental function of women to bear children." The sDeciallsts referred to are part of a corps of dJctors, employed exclusively for watching over the health of the sporting organizations under the Fascist rule, fascism, which has comDletely reorganized all sporting activities, claims that Us methods have been altogether successful, its advocates point to the achieve menu of Italian football teams and other athletic organizations in in tematlonal contests.

Under a sys tem of thorough centralization Young Italy has for the last five or six years had the benefit of intense nri well-directed training. The In stitution known as "Dopolavoro' (meaning literally "after has made a strong appeal to adults to Join sporting organizations and develop whatever strength and skill they possessed. Sport Made Popular in this way srjort has been greatly nooularlzed In Italy. The Fascist system favors frequent contests as means of safe and rapid development. According to a report of the syndicate of goldsmiths no less than 1 ooo cuds and similar prizes were distributed to sporting organizations nri Individuals in the last 12 tnnnths.

The rreat snorting center and the largest athletic grounds In Italy Is known as the Farnesina, Just on the other side of Pontemllvlo. It has been styled the Italian university of snorts.

Junkman Is Shot In Bath Beach as Aftermath of Figh Police Seek Hig Conipai ion at Nearby Party Wounded Four Tinieg Rosarlo Romeo, 60, of 2120 11th Coney Island, was found critically wounded In the roadway beside his horse and junk wagon at Avenue and W. 10th St. early today by Patrolman Collins. There were bullets through both Jaws, the back and neck. Taken to Harbor Hospital in critical condition, Romeo was ques tloned by police and after telling them the name of his assailant lapsed Into unconsciousness.

Police said that the shooting was the outcome of a quarrel between erstwhile friends and not the result of any racketeering. Police said Romeo and a friend went to a party at a third friends house In the Bath Beach section last night. They quarreled but left together, hitched the horse to the Junk wagon and drove away. Police say the quarrel was resumed and at the spot where Romeo was found Romeo's companion pulled out a revolver and shot him, then ran. Now Capt.

There Is no doubt that John surveyed old downtown Brooklyn on his way to and from the church, and on that day there was born in him a pride in his native town that has stood the test of years, and today is stronger than ever. Last night in the luxurious home at 611 Third where he lives with his son Leo, and his charming daughter-in-law, half a stone's throw from the entrance to Prospect Park, which was not even thought of when John C. McCarty was born, ws had a chat with this gentleman of the old school, whose four score years and ten have left no heavy marks, either on his body or mind. Was a Traveling Salesman "When I was a youth," said Mr.

McCarty, "I was a or, as you say now, a traveling salesman. My territory, selling hardware, was through New England, New York State and Pennsylvania. I was often away from Brooklyn for three or four months on a trip, but every time I came back I saw some Improvement In Brooklyn that made my pride in the city increase steadily. There was always, as there is today, some evidence of progress, showing that the citizens of Brooklyn were of the up and doing class, while those of most of the towns I visited were content to run along in the same old ruts. "I shall never forget the big celebration we had when gas was introduced Into Brooklyn.

There was a big parade and speechmaklng and Illuminations with the new convenience, and every Brooklynite felt that the city hid made a great leap forward Recalls School Days Mr. Mccarty's eyes twinkled as he went back In memory to his school days. "I attended old No. 0 on Warren he said, "and when I had finished all they could teacn me there my schooling, as far as text books was concerned, was over However. I lrarned a good manv things In the school of hard knocks and got a degree In the college ol experlenre: and.

after all. this sort of education, to my mind. Is as good as any. I was very proud of mv position as a monitor in the school and I tell you I swelled up when the principal used to send me to Red Hook Lane, to that old building you wrote about a few days ago, to get supplies of books and things." Mr. McCarty has been in the hardware business since he was about 18 years old and still heads the firm that he established about 60 years ago.

While he is no longer active In the business, he la always ready to advise his sons, who are Repents in Cell, Seeking Way to Settle for 118 Champagne Suppers on Birthday By GUY HICKOK Barn.

Ohio Miners Died From Black Damp, Investigator Says Two Causes of Blast Are Sought Millfield Buries 79 Victims of Disaster Millfield, Ohio, Nov. 7 OP) Mill-field today laid its dead back In the earth that killed them, while offi cials began their investigations to determine the cause of the mine explosion which claimed at least 79 lives.

Federal, 8tate and county officials each sought to learn what caused the blast in the No. 0 Mine of the Sunday Creek Coal Company and the release of gas which filled the underground tunnels Wednesday afternoon. Scores of hushed funeral proces sions were the only evidences of the disaster today. The feverish activity of the last two days, the constant work of rescue crews, the patrols of the National Ouard, the dis pensing of coffee and blankets and the tension of the waiting crowds had given way. W.

E. Smith, head of the Ohio Bureau of Mines, said there were two possible causes of the explosion igniting of either gas or coal dust An open flame could Ignite the gas, while coal dust could be set off only by an arc light, he said. Smith also asserted that there could have been only one explosion, instead of the two which the surviving miners re ported. He explained that when an explosion occurs in a mine level, the oxygen is exhausted for quite a dls tance and the rush of air from both sides to fill the vacuum causes sort of thunderclap a fraction of second after the blast. He also said "that most of the dead sue cumbed from black damp rather than directly from the gas.

Crossed East River on Ice "I got $5 a week from the hardware firm of Wright 6t Mace of 68 Beekman New York, when I started to learn the business with them," said Mr. McCarty. "This was $2 more than the average lad received as a starting wage at that time, but I guess I earned It, for the hours were long and the work was hard. I usually walked from my home to Fulton Ferry, except In very bad weather, when I would Indulge in the luxury of a stage ride.

I can distinctly remember one zero day when the East River was frozen solid and everybody had to walk to and from New York on the Ice. That was the day Henry Ward Beecher walked across. A friend pointed him out to me as he trudged across the Ice with the rest of us. After serving a long apprenticeship with Wright St Mace Mr. McCarty said he joined the firm of Durrle A Rusher.

When Rusher died he became a partner, succeeding to complete control of the firm about 1870. Among the high spots of the chat with the veteran was his recollection of Cal Wittle's livery stable on Nevins St. near Fulton St. Cal Wittle's Livery Stable "Cal kept rigs of all grades for hire," said Mr. McCarty.

"If you wanted to take your girl for a spin down the road In a nice shiny buggy with a fairly good stepper and nickel-plated harness trim- mings, Cal would fix you up in great style for about $6. From that point the equipment graded down to a point where you could get a dusty old 'plug' and a shabby unwashed carriage for little or nothing. Of course no young 'blood' would hire anything but Cal's best and they had a great showing off on Sunday afternoons on the Coney Island Road." There were five boys in the McCarty family. The most distinguished member was the late Rt. Rev.

Jamej McCarty, a physician, whose office was at State and Bond Thomas, who wss associated wltl the Jewell flour firm; Michael, wno mas connected with the Charities Depnrtment of the old City of Brooklyn, and John, who is the sole survivor of the group.

At her home, 418 Central Park West, Mother Stoner Is busily at work on a book de scribing just why her perfect child hasn't found happiness. Winifred the younger was a student of poetry and typewriting at 3, published a book of verse at 7 and spoke five languages at 9. Married Fake Count She had all the advantages of wealth and education as a child. Yet at 16 she eloped with a fake count and en his reported death married another man, whom she later divorced. Mother Stoner is more than ready to acknowledge today that there were some serious mistakes in the upbringing of the girl prodigy.

Mother Stoner hasn't been so gen erously dealt with by fortune herself. For the past year she has been a cripple and a recluse In her apartment. Her limbs are partially para lyzed "and they used to be good looking, too." 5,000 Songs for Children Her hair is quite gray over the temples, but her face la still unllned and her gray eyes still vibrant. And in the year of seclusion songs for children have come from her pen, as well as several chapters of the bood on "Mother Stoner's Mis takes." "The greatest mistake I made, she said today, "was in not staying at home and being an old-fashloncd matchmaker for Winifred. When she was young I should have been at home, minding my own business, and inviting only those young men to meet my daughter who would have made good matches.

'Spoiled Her Life' "Instead of that I established a reconstruction camp for soldiers in Pittsburgh and let Winifred meet every one. I thought I had trained her so perfectly that it wouldn't matter. But it did. I spoiled her whole life by being a darned fool. "The second mistake was in not teaching Winifred the value of money.

She had everything she wanted as a child. She didn't learn to shoulder responsibility. "And then I failed to teach her that there are some things to fear and respect. When she showed fear of lightning I had her lashed with me to a flagstaff during a shower while I talked to her about the beauty of lightning. 'Fear and Respect Good' "She lost her fear, but the trouble after that was that she didn't fear anything.

She was always getting Into difficulties. It I had her to raise over again I'd teach her that good wholesome fear and respect are pretty good things to have." The first mistake and one of the worst. Mother Stoner said, was In making Winifred the hub upon which her educational theories turned. "That was unfair to Winifred she said. "She's been before the public since she was 4.

The public put her on a pedestal and me along with her. And then they took us both off. It wasn't fair to Win! fred." There Is a modicum of bitterness mixed with Mother Stoner's regrets. Prodigality Breeds Enemies "With me generosity meant prodigality," she said. "That Is foolish.

The more you give, the more enemies you make, because people hate you when they re Indebted to you." She asserted that she Is stlU mak Ins war on Mother Goose, "that hideous and vicious old witch." "The longer I live the more feel that my theories in that respect Capt. Oerald Crifston, a the Channel for a holiday In time as a British Army officer should, tor It was not his British blood that told. The Anglo-Saxon way In Paris is to make a round of the Louvre and the Luxembourg, looking critically at paintings not by the British portraitists, glancing rather disapprovingly at the nudes, wondering if all the comment on Mona Lias smile Is justified, and perhaps to ride to Versailles and Fontalnebleau thanking the Anglo-Saxon Ood that British sovereigns lived more circumspectly than the Louis.

But that was not Captain Crtf-ston's way.

Though his father was thorough British, his mother was a Russian princess, and It was Crlf-ston's Russian blood which held conversation with gay Paree. No quiet museums by day and no dim and secret streets at night. Crifston went straight to Mont-martre, where the lights are bright by night and the shutters closed by day, and there he remained until the end of this little tale. Caviar, lobster, champagne, girls, music and flowers the fare of grand dukes on a spree, were Crlfston's dally record. Pounds sterling at 121 francs to the pound flew like the leaves that are falling along the boulevards In the autumn wind.
