Contratto came to Rock Sprihgs to finish his senior year in high school and he surely has not forgotten for-gotten any of the football talent that be received from the Bing-liam Bing-liam High school coaches. Respectfully, TOM JONES. br Arthur Brisbane John D. the Third Vf Better Brains ' Out Strange Minds Quite a Budget f OHN D. Rockefeller III, grandson J of the builder of the name, went to work at 26 Broadway a few days ago. He was on time. . ) Twenty-three years old, a big young man, bigger physically than his father, fath-er, John D. Ill, will have many opportunities op-portunities in Ufa. He will inherit what Is called the worlds largest fort- une. By the time be gets It It may I not be as big as Edsel Ford's, and not I as big as that of some man unknown I today. ....... . But, be will surely have enough to I carry out any ideas that he may have. Everything depends on the Ideas. A few men because of great wealth stand out in history. There was the richest ", Roman, whose eon went to war with Caesar and made a good general. His father, with all the money, mon-ey, made a failure when he went with LUCUllUSj The original Medici took to money making, his sons doing more than any family on earth ever did for art. Jacques Coeur, the rich man of France, used his fortune for his country coun-try at a time of need, and was treated with the usual Ingratitude. Now comes young Rockefeller, third generation, starting in with hundreds of millions around him, and many other hundreds of millions burled in pools of oil under the ground. ' His father and grandfather have done a great deal tor the health and education of the world. The world will wish John D. Ill success. He will have to work bard to keep ahead of some other 23-year-old boy, lthout a dollar, but with something more valuable, necessity driving him. It Is easy to succeed in spite of poverty, pov-erty, hard to succeed In spite of gigantic gi-gantic wealth. Professor Von Economo tells other scientists at Columbia College Medl-! Medl-! cal Center that man's brain is improving, improv-ing, developing more. And the super-I super-I man, mentally speaking Is coming .... 1 1 .-- There is every reason to be hopeful. Twelve thousand years ago men were I In the late stone age. We have done I a great deal in 12,000 years. The life 1 of man on earth is only starting. The earth will last for hundreds of millions mil-lions of years. Science proves it Something ought to be done 1. that time. I It would interest and, possibly frighten ua ffwe could know what we shall look like at the end of the s first hundred million years. Man, perhaps, will be an enormous head, round and smooth, traveling at will through the air, talking to other planets. With this earth transformed Into one big garden, machinery doing all the work. Nobody trying to eheat anybody else, nobody trying to pll- up money selfishly, any more than a man today would seek to accumulate salt water, with the ocean full of it Strange are the workings of the human mind. Berlin has a morphinists morphin-ists club, where men gather for the use of morphine and seek to add to the number of addicts. If there is no real hell, that is a pretty good imitation. In Tokio', the Japanese Minister to China, home on leave, commits suicide. sui-cide. Distressed by the loss of his wife, the unfortunate man, S.adao Saburi, had assumed his posthumous Buddhist's Budd-hist's name, usually taken only after death, and had it written on a tombstone tomb-stone for his wife, and himself. Thereafter There-after he asked his friends to assume that he was a ghost. Since his wife was dead, he also was dead. While Madeline Nolon looked on, sne young man who wanted to marry her shot and killed another man who bad the same idea. Miss Nolon, grieved, griev-ed, said she had tried her best to keep the young gentlemen apart That horrifies us now and is hard to understand. It was the commonest thing la the world with our ancestors In the early days. Your great grandmother grand-mother - 600 times removed, would have thought poorly of any suitor that would not kill another as a casual cas-ual event in courtship. President Hoover presents to Congress Con-gress a' budget of three billion eight hundred and thirty million and a few odd hundred thousand dollars. It seems a great deal as compared with the days before the war when the Government spent one billion In two years and everybody yelled "what extravagance!" ' However, thanks to Secretary Mel-Ion, Mel-Ion, President Coolidge and President Hoover, the amount that we are going go-ing to spend next year is a great deal less than we have been spending. The President and all the world extend ex-tend congratulations to Commander Byrd. This column on behalf of a good many reader sends congratula-! congratula-! tlons on her three fine sons to Mrs. Byrd. Whatever her sons have done, she did, for she made them.
