been the most pleasing, not alone

at must be apparent that in
carrying forward such a pro-

Third, to increase employ
ment through the sharing work
movement.
HOME REPAIRS STRESSED
Fourth, to stimulate the re.
pair and improvement of
homes.
Fifth, to assist home owners
with maturing mortgages.
Sixth, the active cooperation
of all banking and industrial
committees with the r. F. C. in
working out the problems Incl,
dent to the making of self

CHICAGO, Aug. 26 O.N.S.),
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller, " first
lady" of Chicago and daugh-
ter of John D. Rockefeller,
will be buried here tomorrow,
it was announced today.
Pale yellow roses, flowers be-
loved by her, languished and wilted
in a forsaken room at the Drake
Hotel, their fragrance wasted.
There was none to look upon
their beauty, none to smell their
perfume.
The daughter of John D. Rookie
Teller was no longer there. Her
mortal remains lay in an under
taking parlor just a few blocks
away.
Death Came Quietly
Deserted were the yellow roses
which for nearly a month had
tenderly lent solace to the dying
empress Of Chicago society. Now
the struggle was ended. At last
Mrs. Mccormick fierce will to
live yielded to the memorable de-
mands of an incurable disease.
Although the fortune of Mrs.
Mccormick was once estimated to
be worth $6O,OO0,OO0, her estate
may not be solvent, according to
reports today.
Unfortunate real estate invest
mentS, the decline of stock prices
and large donations to charity re-
duced Mrs. McCormick's fortune
to an amazing extent.
The death of ChicagoS First
Lady" came quietly late yester-
day after a day of successive
sinking spells and heroic efforts
to bring her out of a coma.
Summoned to the sick room
only five minutes before the end,
the dying woman's divorced hus-
band, Harold F. Mccormick, and
their children - Fowler, Mrs.
Muriel Hubbard, and Mrs. Ma
thilde OSer-were at the bedside
when death arrived.
Cancer Cause of Death
Also beside the deathbed was
Mrs. Mccormick faithful friend
and business adviser, Edwin
Krenn, the Swiss architect.
Fowler Mccormick wife, the
former Anne "Fifi' Stillman; her
son Alexander Stillman, and Mrs.
Hubbard'S husband, Major Elisha
Dyer Hubbard, completed the
group of relatives who witnessed
the end.
Cancer of the liver with com
plicationS was the cause of death.
In her last moments Mrs. Nc
Cormick suffered no pain, for she
was unconscious.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26 G.NSD.
John D. Rockefeller, jr., and his
son, Milton, will entrain today
for Chicago to attend the fun
eral services of his sister, Mrs.
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick.
Mrs. Rockefeller will remain at
the summer home in Maine with
the rest of the family.
The elder Rockefeller will be
unable to attend the services be-
cause Of his physical condition.
