" The fiftieth means that old j ago has started. The seventieth that active life is over. Eighty means old use, al though it .should not. And ninety is reaehed by few. .Icilin D.

Mr. Rockefeller, employing able scientists to fight disease, with unlimited resources at their disposal, has rendered service to the Iiihuhi) race for centuritfs to come. He has given hundreds of millions to education and sci entific research. No man in history has riven as liberally or more intelligently.' Rut his greatest, service is demonstration of the fact ihal competition is wasteful, unnec : essary, out of d,ate. '4 John D. Rockefeller is the vl father of 'modern -industry -oii; ' a great scale. His enterprises reach from China to Patagonia and around the world. He has caused oil wells to be driven within the Arctic circle, to prove the oil is there. And at the same time, in the heat of Central America where yellow fever is endemic, his scient ists seek to eradicate the fever in its birthplace, that it may no more be known on earth. It must be pleasant for Mr Rockefeller to go back in mem ory to the little wooden cot tage, 80 feet long, Hi feet wide, in which he was horn, and re call his accomplishments through !I0 years.
