his business-and he points out that every man who accepted this offer was made wealthy by it.
 Thus, in 1879, Standard Oil con- trolled 95 per cent of the nations oil refining business. From that time on the story of Standard Oil and Rockefeller is story of steady, unchecked growth.
 How Me Gave Money
 But the acquisition of the Rocke- feller fortune has long since ceased to be news. It is the way in which Rockefeller has given it away that has caught the imagination.
 Now. as Rockefeller celebrates his 90th birthday, his gifts are repson- sible for these things
 Trained workers are cleaning up pest spots, breeding places of such diseases as malaria and yellow fever, all over the world.
 Patients in hospitals throughout the world are being given medical help that they would not otherwise have had.
 Specialists are tackling age-old maladies in the hope that they can free mankind from them forever.
 Health organizations are func- tioning all over the United States.
 Education, sociological research and crime prevention studies are being carried on with Rockefeller money in the United States and foreign countries.
 The Foundation
 The Rockefeller Foundation has been the chief beneficiary of Rocke- feller money having received some- thing like s2O0.o00,o0o Three other vast funds administer his other charities; the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Memorial, the General Education Board and the Rocke- feller Institute for Medical Re search. In addition. there have been many other gifts to universi- ties. churches and various other agencies and institutions.
 The one word, prevention" sums up the Rockefeller idea in charity. Prevention of disease, poverty, il- literacy and crime constitute the cardinal points underlying his eS- tablishment of the four great funds
 Many years ago. while he was still poorly paid clerk making his church contributions of 10 and 20 cents at time, Rockefeller wrote:
 Tt is a mistake for a man who wishes for happiness and to help others to think he will wait until he has a fortune before giving away money to deserving subjects

One of Life's Tragedies Enacted at Headquar- ters With Child in Chief Female Role.

It was an innocent looking pack age that little white headed Jennie Glowacki of 9S Beaver street brought into the police station Sun day evening. In all of her 12 years this was the first time that she had ever entered any police station, and she looked around frightened, rot knowing whom to address.
 Please MT. Policeman"-her look included all the occupants of the squad room-'we want this kept rom father. A man named Bog danski brought him home and gave thls to him." she indicated the pack age, and we don't want him to have it."
 Little Jennie Glowacki put the package down on the desk. Lieu tenant Bamforth and Detective Ser seant Ellinger looked at it. Then the detective picked 1t up, un- wrapped it, and looked again. The bottle was of quart size. The label said Gordon's Dry Gin.
 Adroitly questioned, little Jennie poured out her story. Her father, kazimir Glowacki, had gone out that afternoon. and when he came back, he did not act the same as when he had gone out. The man named Bogdanski, who is said to live at II Beaver street, was with him, per haps helping to support him. And just before the man Bogdanski left. Jennie's father gave him some money and Bogdanski gave Jennie father the package.
 Of course, there was the usual scuffle, and finally the family pre- vailed and took the package from the father. Jennie hurried with it to the police station where she knew it would be safe.
 Closely following Jennie into the police station were Serafina Glowacki of the same address and two smaller children. The woman corroborated Jennie's pleadings: Kazimir had come home drunk, he had received this quart of gin from Bogdanski and he had given him money in re- turn for it, she said. All this was told in language strange to the police department, so Jennie pain fully interpreted each phrase.
 What could be done? Serafina wanted to know. And the police shook their heads sadly.

Woman Confesses Killing Lover And Setting Body A6re Because
 Man Refused to Quit Drinking
Charred Fragments of Red and Blue Patchwork Quilt Bring Guilt Home to Girl-ToOk Man
 Away in Auto.

Toulon, III, July (UP)-A trail fragments of a red and blue patch work quilt. found among the aches Of the funeral pyre of Winner T. kitselman, 52, ended today in a com plete confession of Stark county's mysterious torch murder" by a 21- year old farmers daughter
 The confession which solved the week old murder was made by Laura Weaver, daughter of a veal thy farmer. and sweetheart of the elderly kitselman. The young wom- an admitted that she strangled her lover in his home. June 30, while he lay in a drunken stupor. Wrapping his body in the quilt she carried it in an automobile 30 miles. saturated it with naptha and set it afre.
 Arrested On saturday
 The body burned beyond recogni- ton, was found the following day but was not identified until kitsel- mans landlord recognized the
  of the bedclothing from Kitselman' furnished apartment Miss Weaver was arrested Saturday night and after extended questioning confessed.
 The young woman said she and \itselman had quarreled continuous ly over his drinking. On the night of the murder. she said. he had broken wall mirror over her head. and had tried to beat her with a chair. The quarrel ended. she said when Kitselman collapsed in a stu DOT.
 T took of his belt as he lay there on the bed" the woman's confess sion read. T punched more holes in it. 10 pull it tighter, then I placed 1t around his neck and hooked it tight. I sat down on the bed and felt his pulse until it quit beating and then decided he was dead.'
 Rolled Body Down Stairs
 The confession then described how she trussed up the 200-pound body with fish line and wrapped it in the quilt. The manner in which she lift ed the body and carried it to the au- tomobile was explained by the young womans size. She is six feet tall and weighs 23O pounds.
 T drove the coupe around to the door," the confession continued. T didn't want to carry the body all | the way down so l rolled it across 1 the floor, and bump, bump, bump,

ROCKEFELLER HAS
 ACTIVE BIRTHDAY
(Continued from First Page)

is varied from it only by the ab- sence of the members of the family at dinner. Otherwise there is noth- ing on that program which Rocke- feller does not do every day of the year.
 His birthday finds him still un- tired after eight or nine holes of golf; his drive from the tee is weak, to be sure, but his hand is steady and within the year he has sunk 30 foot putt. Motoring still holds great pleasure for him and not in frequently he stretches the 40 or 50 mile drive to 100. During the winter just past on more than one occasion it measured even more than that.
 He dimes almost as he pleases. He doesn't eat cucumbers or tomatoes: but he has a boys fondness for strawberry shortcake and an cpl cures taste for soft shell crabs. For a man of 90 his appetite is good far better than it was during his critical years which included his 60th birthday.
 Issues Statement
 He recognized public interest in his 90th birthday by the issuance of a statement, short, yet embodying the philosophy of sunshine which has marked the later years of Rockefeller in way sharply con- trasting against the grimness of times now past.
 T have every reason to he grate- full on my 90th birthday" the state ment said. Everybody has been so kind and good to me all the year. With perfect health and full of hope and cheer for the future. I have nothing but kindness and good will for everybody"
 But beyond that brief bow to pub lie interest, Rockefeller refused to attach importance to the fact that he was now aged. 90. In the philosophy of his later years the passing of time has come to mean nothing 10 him, his associates ex- plain. He just lives on, getting all that he can from every day as it comes and goes. There is a legend that he no longer carries a watch,

for he found he never looked at 1t: and that the only calendar in his home is the one in his study for the use of his secretary.
 Never Worries on Business
 Rockefeller has long ceased wor- rying over business but he does have a lively interest in what goes on. Within the year he has demonstrat- ed that he still can strike when his blows are needed. When his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was en- gagged in his famous contest with Col. Robert Stewart for control of the Standard Oil Company of h. diana, word was passed quite gen. erally that the elder Rockefeller was a friend of Stewart. His statement endorsing the stand of his son was a heavy blow to Stewart. It marked his only public appearance in busi- ness affairs for the year.
 Control of the Rockefeller fortune now rests with the younger Rocke- feller.
 New York. July S.-The only man on earth who ever gave away a hali a billion dollars became 90 years old today.
 There's really not much need to identify him any more than that. Everybody knows that the greatest philanthropist of all time is John D. Rockefeller. And today is his birthday.
 At 90, Rockefeller is the same puzzling mixture he has always been.
 When he goes about the coun- try he gives away new dimes with a flourish, like a good -natured grandfather bestowing candy-money on a group of children. Between trips. he gives away - not dimes, but scores of millions of dollars. with a lavishness never before dreamed of.
 A score of years age he was perhaps the most hated man in America. He was pictured as greedy, cruel interruptions, pi- ratical. He was the odiment of Big Business in a day when Big Business was unpopular. Today he is regarded in an other light - because he has poured out many of his millions in a great golden flood to conquer disease. lessen poverty. reduce crime and wipe out illiteracy and ignorance.

Started at S1O a Week

Many years ago, when Rockefel- Ter was a young man working for perhaps S10 week in a Cleveland commission office, he wrote his diary:
 T believe it a religious duty to get all the money you can. fairly and honestly; to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.'
 Today. at the close of the 90th year of his life, Rockefeller is able to look back at that old

down the stairs, then I put it in the back of the car and drove away"
 From the Kitselman rooms to the deserted roadside where the body was burned was about 30 miles. The drive, Miss Weaver said, required nearly one and half hours, dur ing which time she stopped for gaso- line. oil and naptha.
 When she reached the deserted road, two miles west Of Annawan, Miss Weaver said she threw the body into the ditch, piled up dry weeds and brush. then saturated the quilt shroud with naptha.
 Tt burst into flames quickly when I touched the match to it and the blaze was shooting high off the ground as I drove away" she stated.
 The young woman had no regrets except for members of her family. Her father, Henry Weaver, 65. is a wealthy landowner in the fertile Fox River valley.
