JOHN D. RocKEFELLERs GREAT
TASK

The Atlanta Georgian asks: "If
you had nine hundred million dollars,
what would you do?"
The Georgian asks a hard question
to the average person. What has
taken Rockefeller years to discover,
cannot be fathomed in minute, or
an hour, by the average person. He
has made a study of the question OF
distributing his wealth, and, accord
ing to the Georgian, he has attempt
ed a great task.
Speaking of Rockefeller's great
work, the Georgian says:
"He has established an institute 20
study disease and fight disease, and
drive it from the earth. This insti-
tute is fighting cancer, infantile pa
ralysis, sleeping sickness and the
dreadful blood diseases that for ages
have been the shame and scourge of
humanity. Under the shadow of his
wealth and intelligent generosity the
greater scientists and surgeons work
secure. They need only think Of
adding to human knowledge. Rookie
teller provides everything. That great
institute, planned in Rockefeller's
mind, will save in ages to come mil
lions of lives-ten lives at least for
every one of the nine hundred mil
lion dollars that Rockefeller owns.
Could any man do better than fight
mans enemies with knowledge in the
ages to come, making every dollar
and perhaps every cent, represent a
human life being rescued from mis-
cry.
mot to cure, but to prevent, is the
task that Rockefeller has set for him.
self and his money. Could there be
greater task?
HE fights to prevent disease in his
magnificent institute; he fights to
prevent ignorance and superstition
with millions that he gives to educa-
ton. All that has been said of Rock
efeller's actions accommodating may
be true, and-what is more probable
-nine-tenths of it may be false. But
this surely is true: Rockefeller uses
his money for all the people. He is
doing as an individual what the ma
ton as a whole has not the intelli-
gence to do. He considers himself a
responsible custodian of the millions
that he has dipped up from the golden
stream of opportunity. And human
ity will be better off because of his
work when he shall have been dead
ten thousand years. His dollars fight
diseases, mans enemies, and ignor-
ance, mans greatest enemy, as the
bullets of the frontiers man fought
wolves, bears, catamounts and red
skins.
How many of us, do you suppose
would do better than Rockefeller. the
much criticized, if we had his wealth
How many of us would do as we'll?
Few indeed"

WHAT IS A BANK DEPOSIT?
The deposits in the banks are six

The deposits in the. banks are six
teen billion dollars.
The money in the banks amounts
to liz billion dollars; the money out
side the banks, billion-312 billion
of money in the country.
Bank deposits then are more than
Ten times as large as the banks mon
ey holdings: they are nearly five
times as large as the total stock of
money in the country. For every dol
lar the banks owe their depositors
they have less than a dime in money.
The savings banks have less than
one cent in money for every dollar
they owe their depositors.
Bank deposits are not money.
What, then, is bank deposit?
Only one dollar in twenty of the
deposits of the bank received every
day (they run about billion day.
are in money. All the rest are in the
form of orders or promises to pay
money.
If you go to your bank and borrow
$1,000 the bank credits you with $1,000
on its books. This is a deposit. If
iyou draw check against this deposit
for $1,000 to pay the mortgage on
your home, the man who gets your
check puts it in his bank This is a
deposit.
If you are manufacturer, you get
from your customer in payment for
goods, his written promise to pay
you the amount in 80 days. You put
this note in your bank, which cred
its you with the amount, less inter-
est. This is a deposit. Or, if you
draw an order on your customer to
pay you the amount in 80 days; he
accepts the draft; you put it in your
bank. This is a deposit.
In such ways the great bulk of bank
deposits arise. Modern business

The farmer who has wheat and

second. getting Crawford on close de-
cision. retiring the side and ending the
game. The play surprised almost every
body. All eyes We're glued on Cobb. as
he was nearest the plate, expecting the
play to be made on him. l know one
fellow told me after the game that he
never saw the final play Of the day at

1 once asked Ty Cobb, base runner ex
traordinary. why third wasn't stolen
he really didn't know. 1T is unquestion-
ably easier to steal third, said Cobo:
for you can get much bigger lead Off
second than first. All pitchers seem to
be developing half balk, that has the
runner tied pretty closely to first. The
bail can be snapped to first at random,
but the pitcher must make turn to
throw to second, giving you much more
time to return. bad throw to second
often results in a run, while runner
seldom gets further than third on bad
throw to first. Then again the catcher
has to throw to his left, when making
a play at third. On a steal Of second
he has the play constantly before him,
and the throw is straightaway. On the
steal of second the batter can help out
only by striking at the ball. Any at
tempt at interference can be easily seen
by the umpire. On the throw to third,
all the batter need do is to stand per-
fectly still in his box, a right he has.
and he makes the throw bit more DIFF

If the proposed national tournament

or February can be made real national

most acceptable first aid" to the in
jury which the game has sustained in
the New York-Havana smash-up. At
first glance the task of promoting this
enterprise seems impossible, but it is
in the hands Of Hartwig Cassell and
Hermann Helms. whose mental and
moral capabilities for such a work are
too well known to be complimented by
comment.
1t is to be hoped that their call to
arms will arouse the fighting spirit of
all chess lovers, and that a generous
response. both in money and entries
from all parts Of the country will
demonstrate to the world that the New
York-Havana scandal was the work OF
one man, and is not blamable in any
way upon American chess players in
general. 1t may even be expected, if
the new tournament receives prompt
and hearty support, that many of the
masters invited to the grand failure,
being. as it We're, out of a job at pres

tournament thus take an honorable
