Jean bounced In her seat "Hurry up, Mlsa Prue. Let go, Uncle Rod" The main street of the town wa already lined with crowds when they reached It; It boiled with children, echoed with the cries of Vaklra, blazed with mammoth black and red posters. Gerard parked the roadster on a side street Jeana feet barely touched the ground as between Prudence and her uncle she was swept along In the hurrying crowd She stopped short in front of a poster showing an equestrienne tn rose-colo-r tulle skirts and a brief bod Ice, with the caption: MADEMOISELLE MILLEE Percy Rockefeller, second eon of the late William Rockefeller, who W'M John D. Rockefellers brother, died recently, only fifty-si- x years old. He waa a highly Intelligent man and a hard worker. Like other men of great wealth, Mr. Rockefeller suffered heavy losses tn the 1920 shrinkage of value, losses ao great that he described them to the senate stock exchange committee aa terrible, perfectly horrible, losses." The strain and anxiety of depression years, with values tumbling, may have had something to do with Mr. Rockefeller! Illness and death, not because of any love for money, of which he had plenty left, but because of tha strain in fighting financial disaster.

Too bad, but what can you do about It? The great Samuel Johnson said no man ever wrote well except for pay, and it Is certain that many brilliant minds have gone to waste because their owners happened not to need money. Byron probably wouldn't have written If he had not had a club foot Vanity made him work. With two good feet hard work would not have been necessary. Marcus Aurelius would probably have "made It shorter and snappier" and more Interesting If he had not been emperor.

Her husband It seemed, gave her everything. With but one child, a son of fourteen, ehe had no work, no worry, no trouble as far aa anyone could see. $he was handsome, too "must have been a beautiful woman," la the way people put It Yet her eyes had that look. It was not precisely drednesa; there was In It something of sadness, something a bit haunted, something of fear. But that was not for all who run to read. It was only the observing eye of my friend's mother that found it then It was easy enough for us all to be wise and see It too. By moet of the casual she would have been accepted aa the once beautiful somewhat faded.

For who should come along but some one who had known them for years. And tt turned out that It was not for nothing this woman was prematurely faded. Her eyes were tired from trying to look bright and happy when she was disillusioned and heartsick. That haunted look waa doubtless remembrance of a long cherished Ideal and hop of happiness. The fearful look concern that the world would learn of the struggle of her tired pride. Money? Yea, she had every comfort, that 1 they lived In fine style.

To speed the revegetation of 3,000 acres of forest and brush land of tha Arroyo Seco watershed In tha Angeles National forest In southern California, which burned over late In July, forest service workers are seeding It to mustard, a weed which roots quickly and grows rapidly even under unfavorable conditions. They are also planting wild sunflowers. A similar remedy was successful In holding soil on parts of th great Santa Barbara burn In 1932.
