THIS STORY HAS A MORAL
Rockefeller Tells Of Expert Who Was
Fast Asleep When He Should Have
/ I'D Been WORKING.

John D. Rockefeller. on his eightieth
birthday, told 9 story. ~
"There was young fellow good
many years ago." he said, "who. lived
on a farm. But this young fellow
thought himself too clever for ordi-
nary farm work, and so he persuad-
ed his farmer daddy to send him on
to college.
'"The young fellow worked hard at
college. Yes, he worked SO hard there
that after his graduation they made
him an instructor at $18 week. That
made him proud, I tell you.
Eyes, he was so proud, so eager to
get on, that now he took up the
study Of mineral oils and in ten years
time he became such remarkable
mineral oil sharp that they made
him oil professor. at $40 week. How
nc chuckled at his old farmer dad
then!
"Well, about that time the old man
died end the oil professor wrote home
that the farm was to be sold; so sold
1t was. There was brook running
through. the farm and where, the brook
rose, the old farmer had put a board
to take the scum off the water, SO
that. it would. be clear and wholesome
Tor the cattle to drink. The new own
er sampled this scum and found that
Il was petroleum, the one thing that
| the clever professor knew all about.
'But the professor knew nothing
4bout the petroleum on his fathers
farm. He had never got up early and
taken the cattle out to drink. He had
been fast asleep when he ought to
have been working, He had never s
seen the board that took the scum % o.
"Ano so It cane TO- pass, that the
oil professor sold for few Thousand
dollars a farm that has produced to
date something like 500, 000. 600 worth

CHANGING Japanese Conditions.


81 Abe Kobei, rich Yokohama mar
chant, bequeathed 100000 yen to be
used for the public welfare OF Kama
kawa prefecture, placing the matter
entirely in the hands Of the governor,
Inouye. This is by no means solitary
case Of it's kind, as it may be remem'
bered that an Osaka merchant, not
long ago, donated, ], 900, 600 yen to- con-
struct a public meeting house, which

II shows change in the psychology OF
the people, with whom the family has
been the unity Of society, and family
property and possessions have been
kept intact from one generation to the
next, even by the expedient of adopt.
ing other peoples children to keep
M the family lineage whenever no
heir is born. This change is welcome
FOR it indicates contribution to the
betterment of the social welfare Of
Nippon.

The Hazards Of Life.

"Save the Youngest pamphlet
recently issued by the, children's bu-
reau of the United States department
Of labor, presents in a series OF seven
charts visible proof that the really
Dangerous age" Is the first year Of
life, and that the high danger period
Of this year falls within the first
month. More than 5000 babies in
the United States in 1915, died before
they had completed their first month
of life. There is no indication that
this loss--14, times as heavy as. in the
twelfth month Of life-ls being cut
down. The charts show that work, to
save older babies from the dangers
Of improper feeding and contagious
diseases; and other unhealthful indui
ences has borne good fruit; but there
is little indication that we are attack
ing the problem Of infant mortality
at its root. According to. the, chill
dren's bureau, prenatal care is 'neces.
sary to- the reduction Of our, high I'M
FAINT mortality rate in the early days
Of life, for the conditions which cause
these deaths arise in large measure
from inadequate care surrounding
maternity. 49,. M &
Every year 10000 mothers lose their
lives from conditions related to preg:

year 1916 it was eleventh ia rank

mortality.

Clay Output Falls on.

The quality and value Of the clay
mined in the United States In 1918
showed considerable decrease in out
put but an increase in value compared
with 1917. The total quantity Of clay
mined and marketed as such is esti.
mated at 2.S4OOOO short tons, valued
at $92O7, 900, or 1928 a ton. This is
decrease Of about 100000 tons, or 10
per cent, in quantity, but an increase
of about 81, 165, 900 or IA per cent in

Pay Of Jan Soldiers.

In the opinion Of the Jul, the pay Of
Japanese soldiers Is too small. AT
present 1t is 1855 yen (7S cents) q
month for first and second-class pri'
Yates, and 1876 (9S cents) for corpo-
rails. Even If the pay be increased 80
per cent, says the editor, it will not
suffice for the needs Of the soldiers.
At present they have to get money
from home to make up the shortage.
which is not right The total pay of
the soldiers amounts to $2,150,0OO. II
1t is trebled, the government will need
only $780, 600 additional.

FATHER FAILS
 ID GET SON

Walter Mohr of College Point, New York, failed to obtain the custody of his 13 year old son, Richard Mohr, now living with his aunt, Lena Berg, of South Norwalk. Before Judge Green had an opportunity to decide on the merits of the case the plaintiff withdrew his petition and the court ruled that Richard shall remain with Mrs. Berg but that he may be visited by his father at College Point every two months.
 NIchr is a druggist and from evil dence introduced it might be suspect ed that the father was endeavoring to obtain custody of the boy for the purpose of using him in his business. During the past 12 years 1t was shown that the father had seen the boy only about twice a year and that only $75 a year was advanced by him for the boys support.
 On the witness stand the boy de- clared, T love my father but I can get along without him. I don't know

CHILDREN ID
 SEEK POSITIONS

Continuation of the work of the Minute Women in obtaining jobs for soldiers and married men or widows with children, will be carried on af- ter this week by the endless chian" system This method has been erl- ployed in Hartford with quite sue cessful results, and while details of the plan are somewhat meagre, it is expected that the assistance of the Board of Education will be asked, and according to reports from Hart ford, the school children will be in structed in the methods of canVassing g for availa ble jobs.
 Priority of positions will be given to soldiers. The next will be given to married people who have been res idents of the city for some time. IL is thought that people who are new corners should return to their own home cities for aid, as Bridgeport should help their own residents first.
 The total number of jobs obtained by the Minute Women Is 260, of which 21 were for women. Today is "automobile day" and garage owners or people owning ears that need re- pairing or overhauling are asked to telephone the '. s. Employment Ser vice. Noble 779 and state their needs.
