faces. The man with a. sour and
crahbed looking countenance is not

commonly a liberal giver. though he
may be wealthy. The man of limited
means may carry a very cheerful and
hapiiy face that suggests generous
thoughts and deeds.

Very likely many who do give liber-
sily never get any cash equivalent for
their sacrifice. But they gain the af-
fection of many hearts. their sympath-
ies are broadened and their souls have
grown. They are amply rewarded.

Wsll Street Journal says: “State-

Standard Oil of N. J., before Senate

committee that John D. Rockefeller
has not been a

 

 

stockholder in that
company since 1920. is considered
confirmation or reports current in

banking circles for some time that
the bulk of the Rockefeller fortune
has passed to John D. Rockefeller Jr.

"The reason for this' transfer of
ownership undoubtedly takes in the
rather drastic inheritance taxes. state
and federal."

The inheritance tax can be dodged
by giving away property before death.

And gifts are not even taxable as in~

But even in the Ruhr the cost. of

shows a steady increase.

Out of every 1000 persons in E.-

per cent. are among those who should
form the next generation. .
