A lot Of mean things have been
written about John D. Rockefeller
Doubtless many Of them are true.
But
IF they really keep books up in heav-
en-, after the manner of men, the sage
OF Pocantico Hills has no doubt, like
the rest of US, some entries on the
credit side of the ledger.
Specific mention of the benefactions
Of the head Of Standard OIL to Chicago
university and otherwhere is not in
tended
When all that is mortal of John D.
has moldered back to the soil that
wraps his body this thing viii be held
in remembrance Of him:
He founded the Rockefeller institute
And what is this institute?
1t is a place, an opportunity and a
support for scientific men who can
spend their lives looking for the causes
of human disease.
These men delve into the experiment
tai sciences day after day, year after
year. Their salaries are paid, and they
have no outside worries. And they
work on regardless Of results. They
are not working for themselves or fol
Rockefeller They are working for the
human race, and they have a lifetime
to work in.
Thanks to the baldheaded monopo
list
Think OF what these institute work
ers may do! They may discover tn,
antitoxin that will cure cancer or {
greater specific for tuberculosis thar
tuberculin or the cure for some Other
of the horrible Affections Of humanity
They may save the lives Of counties!
infants They may prolong life to dou
bic its present span.
Can you conceive a greater work
save 1t may be the cure of mem
souls?
But some may say, Why proloni
human life or save it? Were not Ri
cardo and the old political economist
right in saying that war and pest
lence are blessings In disguise becaus
they carry OF the surplus population

Glide EitCh,s Bad Taste

Clyde Fitch manicured and was as
careful of his hands as a prima donna.
Once he amused several rows in a
theater by expressing horror at the
discovery Of black smudge from the
program on the tip of a finger. He
had his spike-tailed coat decorated
with black braid like gold lace on a
court uniform. He crossed his front
when in full regalia. too, with heavy
gold watch chain, with big diamonds
stuck between the links Fitch was
notorious for his bad taste. It was
told that he crammed his town house
full of junk which he had bought at
fabulous prices for art treasures, and
that finally friend who knew some
thing about art values cleared out the
place, altered the wall decorations,
gave a harmonious whole, and made
the house look presentable. The
stable of Fitch's country home is full
OF near-art objects picked up In
Europe. The playwright was an easy
mark for the picture men and the
