Today By Arthur Briiban A Big Birthday. Conan Doyle Knows Now. The Queen Smokes. Noise, Brain Pressure. Copyright King Features Synd. Inc. This morning, John D. Rock efeller begun his ninety-second year. . Mr. Rockcfellei litis every reason to praise the Lord, for fn is indeed, "fearfully and wonderfully made." Many old men have attributed their long lives to "not worrying." Few have lived to Mr. Rockefeller's age, enduring the hard work and strains such as lie has borne in building his gigantic business, in face of keenest competition, enduring savage criticism. Everybody should wish him more years to enjoy the pleas ures of retrospection. He has done what the peo ple did not know how to do for themselves, changing the natural wealth of the earth into gigantic sums of money, then using the money to fight liscasc and ignorance, at the same time organizing scientific production, and decreasing the cost of necessities. lie has given away, to science and education, more than five hundred million dollars, and his son continues the giving. lie, or his son, to whom he is supposed to have turned over 'his gigantic holdings, is said to be the world's richest man. By the aid of compound interest, lie might easily be richer 'than he is by a' Tiillion ''dollars', if lie had kept his money, instead of giving it away. Mr. li'ickefeller's two favor ite words are: "1'alieucc and perseverance." ' A story, told by hto brother, William, will take Mr. Rocke feller's memory back about rfghty-five years. . When lie was a small boy, a so-called Indian doctor in the district started business by announcing that he would auc tion off "this bright silver dol lar. The crowd, suspicious, did not bid, until young John D.. aged about seven, said: "I bid five cents." "Hold," said the auctioneer, "give us your nickel, sonny, and take the dol lar." t . "Take it out of the dollar said John 1). liocketeller, as cautious as anybody, "and give nic ninety-five cents." Such a boy was quite sure to get ahead.
