Mr. Duke's fund embraces properties now valued at approximately $464)00,000 and will ultimately amount to $86,000,-00By Mr. Eastman's plan the beneficiaries will gain $12,500,000. This brings his public gifts to a total of $58,602,000. These gifts are interesting and Important In themselves and also ss they touch various phases of American life. Both millionaires began life at the bottom of the ladder which fact again emphasises the fact that this Is a land of equal opportunity, even If all men are not created equal. Neither millionaire has a college education, yet both have made the balk of their glfta to colleges which fact would seem to have a bearing on the d question of the mission and value of the American college In the Twentieth century. Both millionaires have made their gifts while-theare alive and can see the results. Both millionaires have made their fortunes Hrgelj through frankly monopolistic methods which fact raises the question: What has become of the "tainted money Issue that bulked so large h fa years ago? It looks as if the American people have decided that there ie no auch money. To be sure, Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton of New York recently declared before the Baptist Bible Union of North America that the Rockefeller money was the greatest corse that rests today upon the Baptist denomination. Bat other Baptist ministers criticised Doctor Straton severely and declared, "Not since the apostolic age has the world had two greater benefactors than John D. Rockefeller and his son." Anyway, the Rockefeller benefactions now amount to nearly $000,000,-000 and are continuing works. The Rockefeller foundation, for Instancy has Just given $2.15,000 for educational The son has Just given $1,000,000 to purposes. the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. lie la also spending several millions In an effort to construct homes In New York city within the Incomes of working people. The Duke nnd Eastman benefactions top off a long list which brings the total for 1024 In excess of $130,000,000 anil the total for the last ten or twelve years to nearly two bllllona which facts teem to Indicate that the Inspired American millionaire" Is a real rather than an Imaginary per- phones. new plants must be built at costs much greater than the average of our present pdant.

Hospitals have been selected as another means for distributing the Income of the trust, because, according to the statement, they not only minister to the comfort of the sick, but Increase the efficiency of mankind and prolong human life. Mr. Eastman's new gifts of $1200,000 follow a recent announcement of a gift of $2,500,000 in the Greater University of Rochester campaign. Those to benefit under the latest glfta of Mr. Eastman are: , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, $4,500,-00which la added to a previous gift of $11,000,-00University of Rochester, $0,000,000; Hampton Institute, $1,000,000, and Tuskegee Institute, $1,- - - sonage.

Despite the tact thst these new gifts mark tha disposal of the last large block of hla personal stockholdings In the Eastman Kodak company, 'Mr. Eastman makes It clear that he will continue to direct ths affairs of ths company and hop to as long as he lives.
