John d. Rockefeller, Jr., is a young

its responsibilities. He is now acquir-

him to manage the vast financial and
industrial interests that will eventually

surning and has an agreeable personal
ity. His nature is a very religious one,
and he takes much pleasure in conduct
ing a Bible class composed Of young
people in humble walks Of life. He is
fond of athletics, owing his well proper
:ioned physique and his splendid health
to moderate indulgence therein. He
Is credited with having made of his
own accord several lucky plays in Wall
