THIS MAKES TWO OF US!
Other countries delight to honor their citizens who
build up great enterprises which contribute to national
prosperity says Forbes. America's method is to indict
them—Gary, Rockefeller, Harriman, Morgan, Eastman
and other giants all had their activities attacked by Wash
ington. Instead of giving our dynamic leaders titles our
Government tries to brand them. The Efficiency Maga
zine of London says editorially:
In my opinion, the ablest, wisest, and noblest Ameri
can now alive is John D. Rockefeller. He is now nearly
90 years of age. He built up the Standard Oil Company,
one of the most humane companies in the world, as well as
one of the largest. He pensions off his employees, at 60,
with half pay. He looks after the children and widows of
his workers.
Yet he has never received one word of praise from
any American Government, nor from the American peo
ple in any way. He has been hated and lied about and
dragged into the law courts for the last 40 years.
No American paper would print this article, such is
the blind animosity against this man. The way in which
he has been treated is a disgrace to America, as thousands
of Americans know, but dare not say.
The Rockefeller Foundation was endowed with about
$200,000,000 by Mr. Rockefeller. It spends all its income
on the promotion of the health of the world. Last year
it gave about $1,250,000 to various hospitals and universi
ties in Great Britain. I, for one, dare give a word of
praise to this much-slandered man, who has done good
and not evil all his life.
Well, here is one American publication that dares to
reprint the forgoing statement!
HONOR VETERAN GENERAL
Throughout the United States many schools and colleges
* where units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps are
located, by appropriate simple ceremonies, the birth of
Major General Wood on October 9th was commemorated.
With the passing of that able soldier and administra
tor, the Reserve Officers Training Corps has lost a sincere
friend. It was General Wood who was the father of the
Plattsburg idea, the forerunner of the Citizens Military
Training Camps. The Reserve Officers Training Corps
owes much of its present strength and popularity to this
great man and it is deemed fitting to honor the day that
belongs to him.
A shrine where automobiles are blessed has been es
tablished by a Cincinnati priest. But the ceremony will |
probably be forgotten the first time one of them runs out
of gas.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 19.
(/P)—Morocco means camels and
sheiks to the shoals of American
school girls who invade the country
each autumn chaperoned by Paris fin
ished school teachers. Marrakech
sees most of them, because they find
| the herds here which make camel
i rides possible. No debutante consid
ers her tour complete until she has
been camel riding. Sheiks are hard
er to find, the type being a product o/
the desert interiors.

HARD-BOILED MAYOR
GRIMSBY, England, Oct. 19. <^>)—
| Grimsby trawlers have pretty rough
; crews and the language along the !
I water front of this fishing center is
not always refined.
| But after attending two perform
ances at leading theatres in London
Mayor Ormond of Grimsby came home
and announced that the language of
the London stage was too much for
him.
“In one play,” said Mayor Ormond,
“there was an admiral who used an
expletive about a golf club for which
he would have been kicked out of an
ordinary room.”
