On of the intcr-esting and singular features about the will of the late John D. Rockefeller was that the great oil magnate left among his effects only a single share of stock in a Standard Oil Company. Of course his Standard Oil holdings had long befor been distrib uted among his foundations, his son, John D. and his daughters. He probably kept that one share as a souvenir of the vast empire he had created and out of which he had made the foundation of his But it is an interesting thing, not generally that while Rockefeller made a great fortune out of the oil Industry, by far the greater part of hi fortune was made after he had ceased "to be an oil magnate, after he had retired, in fact.

When Rockefeller retired at the turn of the century, he was worth, probably, a hundred million dollars an immense fortune for those times. Later he accumulated a fortune that was believed to be as much as a billion. But the striking thing is that this man, in one of the most active acquisitive careers, was able to amass a fortune of a hundred million, while from sheer investment he made almost 10 times as much. Rockefeller made his fortune out of petroleum when its chief product was kerosene. It was only after his.

retirement that gasoline became an important product. The automobile was coming along slowly. But after 1910 the auto- mobile became an o'mniverous user of gasoline and very soon thi kerosene business was small alon side it. To most people who follow sucrl affairs it. was a surprise that, he died possessed of so much as $27,000,000, large though that may seem.

It was generally supposed that he had divested himself of all but a few million perhaps three or four. By various means, he had managed to pipe his. vast fortune into the hands of his son and daughters and foundations. He kept a small amount to keep the wolf from the door. Also he liked to fool around with the stock market.

He kept an active account on the stock market all the time, buying and selling not so much because he needed the money but in order to keep from growing rusty. Whether he was a good trader is not known to thd public. Many years ago Andrew Carnegie said" of John D. that he was the poor est stock market operator he ever knew. As a matter of fact Rockefeller never made much of his fortune that way.

He was not a part of what wa6 known as the Standard Oil gang, which was headed by his brother, William, and Henry H. Rogers. He did occasionally go into some of their adventures with a contribution. But he was never an active participant in all those hectic and daring plunges which made Rogers famous. Rockefeller was.

not a speculator, he was es-. sentially an industrialist. And when he died he had con verted what he had left almost entirely into the most conservative investments. (Copyright. 192S, NEA Service, ine.) rier.

"It seems to me there is too much in the papers about, things that don't concern us. Why can't we let foreign nations stew in their own juice and confine our attention to what's going on here in America?" It would be fine if we could do that. There are plenty of things in our own country, 'our own states and our cwn cities requiring attention. Most of us who are interested in public affairs would like to concentrate on these doznestic problems. The trouble is that some of the other countries wron't let us, and insist on bedeviling the world in ways that we cannot ignore.

What the Nazis are doing in Europe and what the Japanese are doing in Asia, for example, is driving this country rght now to a rearmament program that may cost us $5,000,000,000 extra in thenext two or three years. That is merely for police protection, which would be unnecessary if they minded their own business as mind ours. Moreover, they are shutting us out of foreign trade to which we have a right, and which is essential for our "own prosperity. vvo.v-..-i Japanese are threatening our; possessions in the Pacific and destroy-ing our friends; the Chinese people'; The German Nazis are bitterly persecuting a race to Which millions of our own citizens belong, creating a great relief problem. And the Fascist powers are so busily engaged in trying to overthrow American ideals of morality and government that we are obliged to know they are doing and defend our institutions.

Besides, this nation which we used to think of as "provincial is really the' most cosmopolitan nation on earth. All the races'have gone into the making of the American people, and so there is among us a natural interest in all. Whatever happens anywhere affects lis here. The world's business becomes our business but we had better be very careful in how we go about attending to our "own business."

The point being, of, bourse, that our.

gasoline taxes amount to road tolls, The states collect their toll through the gas station, and it probably amounts, on the average, to about one-third of a cent a mile. There isn't much kicking about it, either. The, public mostly seems to feel that it's fair enough for users of the roads to pay: for them, in proportion to. the use they make of them. Serious objections, when they occur, are usually caused by diverting the gasoline tax to other purposes than road construction and repair.

It does not' define the mechanisms involved in the "conversion" of a cold into a pneumonia.

An illuminating contribution to this problem of the mechanisms of. pneumonia recently came from the Department of Medicine and the Douglas Smith Foundation of the University of Dr.

But he reports that his machinery eliminated more than 100 part or full time laborers. There is; no report as to what they did last year and how they prospered.

And there is no. estimate as to what would become of all the farm laborers in Arkansas, or in the cotton area as, a whole, if work' was all done with machines. Of course there' is employment for many workmen in making those machines. But generally speaking, not for the same workmen so many of nor in the same Sometime, perhaps, such disemployed, work ers will find jobs again if they survive.
