years old that morning. Charity and
education received the entire sum.
Mr.. Rosenwald, who is leading mer-
chant, divided the total into eight
parts, each Of which went to a sep
arate body. Half a million dollars
was split evenly between the Cniver-
sity OF Chicago and the Associated
Jewish Charities here. Among the
other contributions one was unique,
$4,000 10 endow a country club
which will furnish a comfortable re
sort for recreation at week-ends and
in summer and winter for those who
employ their time in philanthropic and
so-ial work"
Mr.. Rosenwald's idea regarding how
broad should be the benefits OF his
money was made plain in a statement
that the s250.OO0 presented to the As
I ISOLATED Jewish Charities Of Chicago
was specifically for a structure TO be
known as the West Side Charities

Representatives of all the coal con-
Germs in Rock Island discussed local
conditions with respect to credit and
collections at a dinner at the Rock

fIom many that they had lost heavily
because OF bad bills urging some ac-
ton on the matter
II was decided that while coal will
be regarded as strictly a cash COM
modify, dealers will be permitted in
particular cases TO extend credit, but
for no more than 80 days. That those
who have been accustomed to beat the
coal dealers may not prey on all of
the concerns, a blacklist of all those
no have outstanding bills of more
than 80 days at present will be made
and furnished each dealer, that they
may refuse the commodity to them
except on a cash basis. In this way,
a dishonest customer will be unable
TO impose on more than one dealer.
