Percy Rockefeller, second son Of
the late William Rockefeller, who
was John d. Rockefeller's brother,
died recently, only fifty-six years
old. He was q highly intelligent
man and a hard worker.
Like other men of great wealth,
Mr.. Rockefeller suffered heavy
losses In the 1929 shrinkage of val
ues, losses so great that he de-
scribed them to the senate stock
exchange committee as terrible,
perfectly horrible, losses"
The strain and anxiety of de-
preston years, with values tum-
bling, may have had something to
do with Mr.. Rockefeller's illness
and death, not because of any love
for money, of which he had plenty
left, but because of the strain In
lighting financial disaster.
Professor Millikan thinks that no
man will ever go twenty miles up
into the atmosphere. The pres
ent record of about twelve miles
probably will stand forever" said
he. Forever" Is the longest word
In any language, and n that rare
ly is true.

mosphere, they will do 1t. Twelve
thousand years ago, men living In
the late Stone age had no weapons
but sharp tints and bows and ar
rows. They have ahead of them
hundreds of millions of years on
planet, as Professor Millikan
knows. You cannot limit their ac-
complishments with any forever"

At first men work for money.
When once they start working am
)ition takes the place Of money
and they continue until the grave
swallows them. Money, which
means Independence of other mems
the only freedom In civiliza-
ion, Is useful in itself, and a useful
Incentive to hard work.
