Huge Success At Making Millions, Rockefeller
 Was Total Failure In Public Relations Field

losses which the small operator recks not of would amount to the differ ence between profit and loss and be- come in themselves new source of wealth. He broke ground in the almost new idea of exploiting the possibilities of profit from the ex- termination of carelessness and waste.
 Did Noting to
 Avoid Public Odium
 He stepped on a hundred toes one a score of traditions-in this pursuit. Therefore he aroused powerful enemies and he had to fight a score of great battles. Once or twice Ford has had a law suit about this or that and once or twice he has fsced crisis in his business, but it was from imperSonal sources. Rockefeller faced bitter, persistent enemies throughout his career.
 In one field, however, he was total failure. That was fin the field of public relations. Today the publicity man is everywhere. The business of selling the name, the business to the public is highly developed. Henry Ford has been 8 very shrewd user of that instru- ment. In Rockefeller's time there was no radio audience scattered over million homes, sitting about listening to a beautiful symphony orchestra provided by MT. Ford and listening to the virtues of the founder" expounded by Dr. Cam eron. Rockefeller never sensed that his vast operations were running into a public opinion which could tllwart him, hold him back, execrate him. It was not until he retired and his name was covered with odium and had just received one more black coating in the Colorado Fuel and Iron massacre at Ludlow that his son saw the need of doing something. Cpon the scene stopped young Ivy Lee, all full of the new bag of tricks which young MT. Rockefeller needed to rehabilitate the badly battered reputation of his father.
 To sum up, Rockefeller's tech-i nique was that of the wise ad-l ministrator who is capable oil viewing the whole scene in due proportion but who understands perfectly the necessity of order in the smallest details; who uset without stint the brains of other men and learned how to trust them and reward them; who stuck to his last and who followed tho policy of making his profits oui of the production of wealth in q staple necessity.

,echanic. Rockefeller was a book

mechanic. Rockefeller was a book keeper; Ford craftsman. Ford de- veloped and perfected his own pro- duct. Rockefeller did not. The oil industry was brought forward by a series of discoveries and inven- tions and processes, none of which Rockefeller initiated. Rockefeller's genius did not lie in this direction. He was the business man, the keeper of accounts, the borrower of money, the watcher of details, the judge of men, the unfailing observer of the business scene, the co-ordin- ator and manager.
 The business man of today can hardly understand the extent to which disorderly and Slipshod business methods characterized those times. It must be under stood that business management, like merchandising, is 8 distinctly modern science. The old-time grocer, for instance, would be amazed at the extent to which countless problems of selling goods have been studied, analysed and perfected. The modern department store, like the modern chain grocery would astonish the average profess sional man who has not taken the time to see for himself the infinite

Court Appointment Faces Roosevelt
 With The Meanest
 Job In His Career

Washington, May 26-Resignation of Justice Van Devanter has given Roosevelt perhaps the meanest poli- tical problem he ever had to worry about. There are several ways of looking at the probability that the President will appoint Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, to the Su- preme Court, and in each of them you can detect more than a trace of absurdity. -..,
 The situation will become even
 more farical if it turns out that
 this is the only seat on the su-
 preme bench which Roosevelt will
 have to fill for long time to
 come. If the net result of four
 months of historic hubbub were
 to be the appointment of Joe
 Robinson, 1887 might we'll appear
 in history as the year of the big
 horse laugh.
 Heavy pressure from the Senate is the major factor inspiring belief that Robinson will be named to succeed Van Devanter. Roosevelt was considering the appointment, how ever. even before that developed. Rumors that F. D. R. promised the next justiceship to Joe have been rife for years, but no one can pin down any man who will say that either Roosevelt or Robinson ever confirmed those rumors. Reports that liberals close to the President are urging him not to appoint Joe, who desires the post, may be dis counted. They seem to be resigned to it.

Even Rocke- feller's famous and cratic attorney, the inventor of the trust idea, w. c. T. Dodd, made his first appearance in public life fighting Rockefeller. But Rockefeller took them all, one by one, into Standard Oil as part ners. We cannot imagine Henry Ford doing this.
 Moreover, while Rockefeller was the dominating genius of the com- pany, he never attempted to ruth lessly override these men. They were masterful men and Rockefel- Ter adopted a policy of never en- barking upon any important enter prise without the unanimous ap- proval of his partners. He was known to spend two years present. ing his case to them before bringing about unanimous agreement.

Here's to the summer And life in a shack, Days on end busy With hammer and tack. Of the main highway, Down a crooked road, Snug in clearing, What an abode! It's not very big,
 Just two rooms, Whisked into shape With the aid of brooms. From the small windows Real and not fake, The front faces woodland, The rear crystal lake. The furnishings are crude, Couple of hunks, a stove, .... The floor fairly covered, With rug someone woVe. A better days hammock, A few odd chairs, A portable radio, That's life without cares.
