OIL BARON IS '
90 YEARS OLD
Birthday Marks Third De
cade of Retirement
As Invalid
TARRYTOWN, N. Y., July 8.—f/P)
—John D. Rockefeller master of the
fine art of living, celebrated his
ninetieth birthday anniversary to
day.
Observance of the day brought
little deviation from the daily rout
ine by which the veteran oil mag
nate has learned to be healthy and
happy.
The day marks the close of the
third decade since, having amassed
$1,000,000,000 Mr. Rockefeller re
linquished his business interests to
his son and began his pursuit of
health and happiness.
In those 30 years he has evolved
a philosophy of life based on mod
eration and quiet activity so that
where at 60 he was a semi-invalid,
seeking a diet that would agree with
him, today he announced he was in
perfect health, scanning the future
with cheer and hope.
In a statement he said:
“I have every reason to be grate
ful on my ninetieth birthday. Every
body has been so kind and good to
me all the year. With perfect health
and full of hope and cheer for the
future, I have nothing but kindness
and good wil for everybody.”
His birthday was spent with mem
bers of his family at his estate, Po
cantico Hills.

SECOND PARLEY FOR
CHURCHES SCHEDULED
BASLE. Switzerland. July 8.—UP)—
A movement begun several years
ago for relief of Protestant churches
in war torn Europe will be ad
vanced further at the second “Beth
esda conference” here August 23
24.
Following the world conflict. Prot
estant churches of Europe were im
poverished and disorganized.' The
Swiss Protectant federation, at the
suggestion of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Ameri
ca. called a conference for their re
.lief at the Bethesda house in Copen
hagen.
From that meeting, with 75 rep
resentatives of 37 religious bodies
and 21 countries attending, grew
the Central Bureau of Relief of the
Evangelical Churches of Europe. An
American office was opened in Newr
York, with Dr. Chauncey W. Good
rich in charge. The Rev. Kenneth
D. Miller succeeded Dr. Goodrich in
1925.
One great problem facing the con
ference this year is the question of
sustenation. The churchmen hope
to find a plan that will not leave
the churches unprepared in event of
another crisis.

GIRLS AT COLLEGE
SEEK 100 FLOWERS
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.. July 8.—
UPS—Struggles through swamp and
thicket in search of a hundred
flowers is the program occupying
the minds of six Smith college girls
this summer.
Botany 24, Summer Field Work
is the name of the course, a study
unusual in a college of this type,
At first hearing, the collection of a
hundred different flowers sounds
simple. But Prof. Wayne Manning
is positive that it is anything but i
The flowers must be identified,
pressed and mounted. An exarama
tion on them must be taken by the
candidate in the fall. (
She is not left wholly to her own
resources, however, for she has
special instruction du:'ng three or
four weeks in the spring. If she
succeeds in bringing back the hun
dred flowers she receives one full
year hour of credit.
It is an ideal system, according
to the botany department. As the
student is alone she is obliged to
solve her own problems and there
by develops resources and sagacity.
Moreover, she is gaining practical
training which will prove invalua
ble in any advanced course in bot
any she may elect.
