paralyzed by it, as is unhapply the almost
uniform experience of modern men in a like
situation.
Something more than twenty years later,
Andrew Carnegie wrote his famous article for
the North American Review which led to
giving the widest currency to his phrase that
he should consider it disgraceful to die rich
man. John Morley wrote to Andrew Carnegie
that these words would stick to him forever
as an umeserved condemnation of those dying
rich. Oddly enough, there appeared almost
simultaneously Henry Georges Progress and
Poverty" and Edward Belamy's Looking
Backward" and for some time Henry George,
Edward Bellamy and Andrew Carnegie we're
all three widely quoted in the attempt to
answer the question, What are we going to do
with our rich men?

character and guided his judgment in all his

public benelactions and relationships. This
was the habit which he early formed of max
ing the acquaintance and the friendship of
outstanding leaders in the intellectual, the
artistic and the public life of his time, and
attaching them to himself in bonds of close
friendship. What Mr.. Gladstone and John
Morley and Elihu Root meant to Andrew
Carnegie is well known to his intimate
friends, and some record of it all may be
found on the printed pages of his life and
personal writings.
During his months at Skibo each summer
he was surrounded by group of men which
probably could not be reproduced anywhere
else on earth There were to be found prime
ministers, archbishops, heads of universities,
great judges and members of the Bar, leading
scholars men OF letters and men of science -
all welded by Andrew Carnegie's hospitable
personality into company of surprising in

service and to be guided in so doing by the
judgment of the ablest men of his time, that
when the distribution of his vast accumulation
was made, it took so remarkable and so un-
precedented form. Andrew Carnegie began
to think of this distribution long before it
actually took place He turned the whole
matter over in his mind again and again. He
discussed it with his intimate friends and dis
tingushed counselors both in Great Britain
and in the United States He began in various
small ways - small they must be called in

brought comfort and happiness time and

~ 25. 1885, The centenary of his birth
= - is now to be celebrated in most
distinguished manner both in the United
States and in Great Britain. These celebra-
tions will be echoed throughout the civilized
world, for there is no land in which MIR.
Carnegie's name is not known and none
which the influence of his idealsm and fore
sight have not reached.
To what is this amazing circumstance due?
Surely not by any means to the fact that he
amassed huge fortune through his develop
ment of modern industry, for many Others in
many lands have done that and their names
are neither known nor remembered The
reason for Andrew Carnegie's outstanding
position in the history of his time. with fullest
assurance that he will be remembered through
the years. is that the making of his great
fortune was wholly subordinate to his mag
nifcent use of it.
If. as his biographers estimate Andrew
Carnegies fortune at its maximum amounted
to some $36O,OOO,O00 he gave more than 80
per cent of it for the benefit and service of his
fellow-men If those who by reason of ability
or opportunity amass great fortunes in in
dustry, in commerce or in transportation use
their accumulations as Andrew Carnegie used
his. little criticism will be heard of the sue
cessful man of affairs, for in such case he will
have returned to the public service that which
he was able to gain for himself, honestly
enough. through public cooperation and
support.
Observation of scores of those who have
been acclaimed as successful men of business,
and acquaintance with many of them. is
ground for the observation that the modern
multimllionaire has before him four stages of
possible evolution.
The first of these is the acquisitive stage
when his whole concern is with making money
and arlassing fortune. The second is the
possessive stage, when he hugs his wealth to
his person and identifies it with himself and
himself with it. This is as far as most multi
millionaires ever get It requires both large
intelligence and fine character to 60 farther.
The third stage is the contemplative. When
this is reached, the multimilionaire asks,
sometimes quizzically, sometimes seriously,
"What am going to do with this money!
He usually answers this question by pouring
it out in huge sums upon the members of his
immediate family, thereby wrecking their
lives and the lives of their children and grand
children, until his accumulation is fortunately
dissipated. But it is dissipated only after it
has done its demoralizing work.
The fourth and final stage of this evolution
is the distributive. When this is reached. the
possessor of great wealth is in position to
become an outstanding public servant. If his
Evening star., 1935-11-24

ideals are high, his judg-
ment good. his knowledge
of men well tested by ex-
perience, then he may
quickly climb to the high
est level of public service.
This Andrew Carnegie did.
Born a Scot, and early
becoming deeply i'm
mersed in American life
and thought, Andrew Car
negie from his young man
hood had a truly amazing
insight into the proper
meaning and significance
of wealth. AS far back as
1868, when he was but
thirty-three years of age
and already had an in
come of some $4,000 a
year - truly a huge sum
for those days - he wrote
theseextraordinary words:

Surely this is an extraordinary revelation of
mind and character on the part of young
man who wrs already demonstrating a capa-

 And she Is conceded an "exceI. lent chance" of making the 1886 team as an all-around performer, according to track observers who saw her win three national indoor Championships in her first track meet.
 From appearances she is any thing but a track and field star. Her form in the recent meet here was conspicuous by its absence. She presents a build far from the athletic lines of Didrikson.
 This girl, who after beating the great Polish h-Amcrican star in the 5O-meter dash, flat-footed around with dozens of other competitor s during the Women's A. A. U. trials here. Yet she qualified in the dash and in the finals sped past Stella to equal the existing national rec ord Of 6.6 seconds.

''DALY DOUBLE" TOBE EFATUREAT
 NARRACANSETT
O'hara Will Accede to De- mands of Fans During
 Race Season

Providence, April 9-"There wilJ be a daily double at Narrangesett this summer" announced Walter F. o'Hara this morning, on his re- turn from a flying contact trip through Maryland and the Blue Grass country. At Bowie racetrack observed interest in this mild form of wagering is growing so rapidly that 1t overshadows all others. We had thousands of en- quiries for it last year at Narra- gansett, but at that time couldn't quite see 1t. Now I am satisfied the fans want it-and they shall have it."
 Commencing on Narragansett's s opening day, June 19, and continu- ing through the three meetings, the Daily Double will be operated on the first and third races. Tick cts will be sold at a special cash ier's window, opening one and one half hours before the first race and closing 10 minutes before post time. All tickets will be of the $2 /de- nomination.
 All Alone
 The pool for the double is kept entirely separate from the regular race pools that are flashed on the big electric tote board, and the prices paid the lucky winners are calculated by the simple method of dividing the total double pool, after 10 per cent has been deduct ed, by the number invested on the combination winners of the first and third races.
 Picking the daily double Is a fas- cinating problem that provides a lot of fun and excitement, with the minimum of risk. At the southern tracks tracks this winter people came early and worked out their selections. Many bug hits were made when outsiders came up On numerous occasions a $2 in. vestment, at Tropical park, a New Jersey truck driver hit the double with lucky two spot" to the tune of $7456. The double will be a popular attraction at the Rhode Island plant this season.
