JOHN J., JR.,
 MUST WORRY 0N WITH $41O,674 399
While Dad Plays Golf, Son Keeps Grocery Bills
 Paid


 NEW YORK. March 29.--While hts father spends his octeEenarian days playing golf in Florida. young John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. with s4ie,674. S99 worth of Standard oil stock, and d yearly income therefrom of sf1,sf6.- 622, manages to keep the family gro cery bills paid.
 The first exact figures of the younger Rockefeller's holdings in Stndard oil for several years has be- come available through q compilation of testimony submitted during the Senate's investigation of the oil in- dustry at Washington.
 It Is lucky for the Rockefellers that the younger "oil king has managed to hold on to his sizeah1e slice of nine Standard OH companies. For tho same Senate Investigation developed the surprising information that Rocke- feiler. Sr.. does not now own as much as l per cent in any ono ofsthem.
 When Judge Kenesaw Mountain Iandis unscrambled Standard oil. the elder Rockefeller owned PAS per cent of tho original Standard Oil of New Jersey stock. Since that time his holdings have passed to his son. to his daughter, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, and 10 his major philan- thropic enterprises, such as the Rock efeller foundation.
 The divided income from tho Stand ard oil holdings of Rockefeller, Jr.. approximately s12,000,000. on a mar ket valuation of the stock of about $40, 100000, amounts to slIghrly less than per cont. q remarkably low return for so able n tinancier.
 Of course, it Is more than likely that he owns other properties whose returns supplement the s12o0o,0oo figure.
 All of this stock appears on the company books in tho name of the younger Rockefeller. As his holdings. 7,63S.390 shares In the nine com- panies. which have a total of 45,726.- 757 outstanding. amount to about te per cent of this total, 1t Is reason able to believe that his sister and tho philanthropfc foundations own approximately the per cent remain- Ing of the elders original PAS per cent.
 trolled holdings at present roughly at s6l5, 5,000.o00 worth of stock in the various offspring of the Old Standard oil company.
 About three-fourths of Rockefeller, junioirs. holdings are In three com panies, in the order named: Standard oil of California. Standard oil of New York and Standard oil Of New Jer- scy, This Jock alone is worth over s300.0O0, GOO.
 His shares in Standard oil of In diana are fewer than in any of the large Standard subsidiaries.
 The figures submitted to the Sen atc were of June 30 1922. and include subsequent stock dividends to the time of tho investigation.

NO DIVORCE PROBLEM UPON DESERT SANDS
MT. And Mrs. Sheik Have To Love
 Until End M nIL0RlIs IsI nnI IrM

LONDON, March 3f.-Mr. and Mrs si eik--the husband and wife of the great sandy spaces--must love each other until the sands of the desert grow cold or they are stoned to death
 Mrs. Itosita Forbes. writer and ex- plorer, who has just come back from the east. tells how the Arabs handle the marriage and divorce problem which is causing so much concern among the western nations.
 .The people themselves, she said. have Q peculiar punishment for mis- conduct which usually acts as a de- terrent for husbands and wives who culd otherwise err.
 Should a man or woman be un- faithful. the two guilty persons are taken to a public square. stripped. and then buried up to their armpits In sand. Then their companions stone them to death. showering curses on them for being unclean. Obviously. promiscuous love meets with little ercourag cement"
 The divorce law of Arabia. the writer explained. makes it necessary for the wife to watch her step through the sand.
 When a man can divorce his wife py simply cIapping his hands and
