IS Broadway which investigates before
giving. and which in many cases audits
annually the accounts of institutions
which have taken his money. If Mr..
Rockefeller thinks on these things
and the care with which he scrutiniZes
his gifts would lead one to think ne
does-may he not come to realize final
ly the utter ;mpossibility of justifying
by charity the injustice which such an
accumulation as his has cost?
| For several years MIR. Rockefeller has
spent practically all of the year at one
or another of his three homes-Forest
Hill, country place near Cleveland,
Ohio, where he lives from May until
! October; his New York town house on
IFifty-fourth street or his great estate
at Pocantico hills, near Tarrytown- on
! the-Hudson. 1t is fair to judge some
thing of a mans character from his
homes-particularly when the man is
one who is freed from the necessity of
considering cost of building. Mr..
Rockefeller's homes force several re-
Elections on one. Certainly they show
his cult of the unpretentious. No one
of the three houses he occupies has any
claims to rank among the notable
homes of the country. They are all un-
pretending even to the point of being
conspicuous. Not only that, they show
him to have no pleasure in noble archi-
lecture, to appreciate nothing of the
beauty of fine lines and decorations
Mr.. Rockefellers favorite home. the
house at Forest Hill, is a monument
of cheap uglinesS-a great modern
structure built in the first place as
sanitarium. 1t is amazing that any one
not compelled to do SO should live in
it's shadow. His city house is without
distinction, and there has never been
an appropriate mansion at Pocantico
hills. The daily life on his great
estates is studiously simple Mr..
Rockefeller regulates his household as
he does his business. Family and ser
wants are trained to strictest economy.
There is no more gas burned than is
needed no unnecessary heating, no
wasteful providing. There is nothing
for display, nothing squandered in the
senseless American way to prove you
are rich, so rich you need not care. On
every hand there is frugality and care
fulness. And this frugality certainly
is a welcome contrast to the wanton
lavishness which on every side of us
corruptS taste and destroys the sense
of values. One would be inclined to
like Mr.. Rockefeller the better for his
plain living if somehow one did not feel
that here was something more than
frugality-that here was parsimony-
not only that, that here was parsimony
made virtue, and that one of the chief
vanities of this richest man in the
world is seeing how little he can spend
on his household, as that of many
another rich man is in seeing how much
he can spend.

Right Tim
Have You Got 1t?
If Not, This May interest
You.

Did it ever occur to you that your
watch was due some attention and care?
STOP a moment and think OF the
stupendous amount OF work performed
by this wonderful article.
DO YOU KNOW a watch balance
gives 800 vibrations every minute, 49,
900 every hour, $4,000 every day, and
I57,6So,ooo every year!
NOW doesn't it seem reasonable
that your watch should have little oil
at least once year, and be cleaned be-
fore it stops?
A FEW FACTS to set you think
ing: At each vibration a watch balance
rotates IA times, which makes 1917
100000 every year. For comparison,
take locomotive with 6-foot driving
wheels, making the same number Of
revolutions, would travel twenty-eight
times around the earth. Don't you
think it would need some oil during that
time?
