Rockefeller’s first business deal w unearthed in connection with his 84th birthday recently. John D. was born four miles from the village of Rich- mond, N. He was raised on a farm, tramped six miles to the little red schoolhouse, and slept in an attic through whose root the snow sifted in winter. That old house still is stand- ing; hewn from logs and fastened together by wooden pins, as was customary in the old days, when iron nails were very expensive. 4 John D, saw a wild turkey hen in the woods. By patient stalking, he finally found her nest. He carried away her young ones, took them home and fattened them. Late in the’ year he drove his flock to the village and sold them. The money? He put it in the bank, of course. One day afterward, while digging potatoes, young John D, leaned on his hoe and began thinking. It occurred to him that he had to till the soil several days to get as mush money as his “turkey fund” was paying him-a year in interest, and for which interest he didn’t have to work a stroke. John D. withdrew his money from the bank and invested it in turkey hens. te After that, it was just a matter of multiplication. From his turkey venture, the elder Rockefeller learned a lesson that shaped his entire business career. During his lifetime’ he probably has made, as profits, more than a billion dollars. He could not have made anything like this huge «mount by his own personal direct efforts. ? That he did accumulate a billion was principally due to, his causing money and other men to work for him. t Too sensible to be jealous of having able supporters around him, ‘he early acquired a reputation for hiring the most competent men available—and paying them so liberally that no other employer could lure them away except in rela- tively few cases. Tf you work for money and save it, money will work for you. If you work for money and save it, you will be able to hire other men to work for you—able to collect part of what they create, for your own personal holdings. The Rockefeller fortune was built up mainly on these two simple principles. t The first $1000 in the bank is the hardest—and we are apt to become discouraged while accumulating it. But, the more you save, the easier money comes. COLORS The German near-monopoiy of the world’s dyestuffs, used in coloring, has been broken—temporarily, and probablytper- manently. = American makers now are producing nearly 94 out of every 100 pounds of dyes used in our country. These two facts summarize the hundreds of columns of befuddling news and comment about dyes which for nearly Rine years you have been reading—or skipping? j A lot of the German chemical patents, seized during the 4 war, proved “unworkable.” So testifies a chemist in the law- a suit resulting from the seizure and sale of these patents. = This has been common knowledge in the chemical indus- 4 try. The Germans patented just enough to protect their F Processes, and left unmentioned enough details to keep their secrets hidden. For instance, in the case of a dye involving 16 steps in the manufacture, they’d patent only three steps, and any one using the patent would have to work out the other 13. It is whispered among chemists, some of these patented formulas were misleading to the extent of being more apt to produce an explosion than the desired results, when com- pounded by outsiders. a We note that one chemical patent deals with paranitro- ‘ benzoylchlorethanol, so we won’t go into technicalities.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton Everywhere old .Cross Patch went | in Rainbow Land he caus:d unhap- piness, Every time he waved his dreadful magic stick he made somebody mis- erable and the Twins and Mister Sky Bow tried their best to catch | him and put him out, But so far the sly old wizard had escaped them. When the little adventurers came to the town of the ‘Upsy Downsies, weren't they trying to turn their queer little houses around! “We've just discovered that every- thing we did was wrong,” said one “Oh, then ygu don’t talk backward anymore,” said Nick. “No,” sighed the Upsy Downsy. “And we don’t live backward, either. But it was lots of fun to be different from other people. Now we'll just be like everybody else. Cross Patch | said so.” “Aren't you happy?” asked Nancy. “No, indeed we're not,” answered the Upsy Downsy, “Then why don’t you do like you always did?” sgid Nick. “And be happy again.6 3S. # “Why, we ht of that,” declared the Upsy Downsy brightly. | “Of course we shall. What do we care about a silly old stick!” “That's right,” smiled Nancy. “Common sense is better than all the magic in the world? ).4) So the Upsy 'Downsies' began to turn their houses back again and tering happily to each other back- ward, “sensible being like nothing There's,” they said. The Twins went along until they came to the place where the Rimies lived, The Rimics looked gloomy. “We don’t believe in poetry any more,” they said. “Cross Patch has be- witched us,” (To Be Continued.)

BEGIN HERE TODAY Peter Pennington, detective, is de- tailed by the government to capture the leader of The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits, Captain John Hewitt, Commissioner of Po- lice at Jesselton, British North Bor- neo, procures a warrant for the ar- \rest of Chai-Hung, -influential Chi- nese.

He is, accompanied by Hewitt’s beautiful sister, Monica Viney. \ Pennington learns that Hewitt's ‘cook boy is a member of The Yellow Seven. NOW, GO ON WITH THE STORY She tripped over # root that cross- ed the ill-marked path, and stumbi- ed against him, gaspmg for breath. “I'm so—sorry,” she panted: “i— simply—can’t—do it!”, Pennington steadied her with his arm, apologiviig profusely. He looked up-and saw guide had disappeared, This was the first serious hitch that had otcarred, . Swearing softly to himself, he carried her the next thirty yards, jrested her against a tree, and flagheds his’ torch like a search-light, sweeping it in all direc- tions. Suddenly. he plunged forward and caught the delinquent cowering behind a thorn-bush. He drew the shivering Wohg-Sce from his hiding- place, then kicked him with astonish- ing aceuracy. — The remedy proved efficacious, for, | throughout ‘the final phases of the nocturnal | expedition, © Wong-See made no further attempt to elude his captor! that the The guide stopped abruptly, drop- ping to his’ hands and knees, and Pennington, creeping up to him, ex- inguished the torch. Monica, her hands torn and bleeding, her neck and wrists and ankles so many itch- ing zones where the thirsty blood- suckers of the jungle had taken their toll, felt herself forced from the main track by the sudden pressure of her companion’s left arm. Ahead of them—scarcely twenty paces distant then went out, Pennington’s lips, pressed against er ear, breathed two words: “Chai-Hung’s sentry!” Pennington’s hand had left Moni- ca’s arm and a subdued, restless, yet constant something was going on at her side. Presently she felt a solid mass press against her and found that she was gripping the torch that Pennington had thrust toward her. She groped wildly in the - darkness with her free hand, For a matter of seconds her heart stood still, for in the space where she had believed Pennington to be—there was noth- ing. Her fingers dropped suddenly \to a warm, motionless body that lay Prostrate at her side. She withdrew ‘her hand, shudder- ing inwardly, and somehow the torch flashed in the blackness, sending a bar of brilliant light straight down the track that ‘stretched before her. She saw a huddled form, seated on what might have been a fallen trunk and then, before the creature—sur- prised by the iHumination—could be- stir itself, a white-clad figure had sprung like a panther from the trees ~-and overwhelmed it. She saw no more, for her thumb’ had found the. switch and pushed it into place, form she had touched was that of the miserable Wong-See, who was effectively gagged and bound. “Come on,” said the voice of Pen- nington in her ear. “I fancy I’ve cleared the pat She was beginning to understand the reason for her brother's deep- rooted confidence in this amazing man, with the strength and cunning of a primeval \savage—and the table- of | Manners of a prince! So cautious were their movements after this that Monica felt prompted to cry alond, t6 laugh, anything. to relieve the appalling monotony.

She opened them again, and, acting on a sudden impulse, glanced up at Pen- nington. He was kneeling on the soft carth, one eye to the narrower portion of the chink that served 2s a spy-hole, while the barrel of his auto, matic was thrust partly through the ~ wider extremity of the aperture. She caught something of the infection of the calm that seemed to pervade his being, and looked back into the hut in time to see a tall Chinaman in black rise to his full length, a hide-© ous grin illuminating his swarthy features, the Yellow Seven held aloft, The guttural chattering began again, the cards were swept into a neat pack, disappearing into the capacious sleeve of the man who had originally spread them out, and the hand of the Oriental who held the Yellow Seven + slipped to his waist. Every head was turned toward the Commissioner as a long blade flashed in the lamp-light, and the Chinamen, still gesticulating, rose one by one, spreading themselves out along the walls; but the figure in the mandarin jacket, embroidered with a m headed dragon, remained in prec: the same position as that in wi Monica had first seen him. The tall Oriental in black drew back his sleeve and tested the blade with a grimy thumb. A sudden hush assembly and the girl, cramped and trembling, be- came aware of the ticking of the watch at her wrist. In all this ghastly nightmare, these ceaseless, regular pulsations rang out as ti sole links with the normal existence she had left behind her. She tried to think of the bungalow on the hill, the long cane chairs with their many cushions, the winding path that led, ribbon: to the road, the woode: jetty whree the coasting-steamers lay at anchor; but these phantom creatures refused to materialize and her eyes, sore and tingling, gazed straight before her, fixcd, because she was powerless to withdraw them, upon whom the lot had fallen to de- stroy her brother. ae Someone came forward and threw aside the log, and the hand that held the knife swung suddenly aloft. Pennington’s pistol broke upon the stillness. The man with the dag- ger spun round awkwardly—and col- lapsed in a heap. Criés of terror resounded on every side, and a hand, reaching upward, plunged the build- ing in darkness. . Monica and. Pennington rose multaneously, “Stop ‘where you are,” he called back to her. “Lie close up to the wall, They'll be too seared to look for you there.” . He raced on toward the entrance and Monica, too dazed to, catch. th: meaning of his words, followed in his wake. As she stumbled through the undergrowth she remembered that she still carried the torch. Vague shadowy forms slithered past her, stampeding as if surprised by a regi- ment of soldiers, rather than by one white man and a girl. She heard them crashing away into the dis- tance and somewhere a man scream- ed in mortal terror as he ran, as if fearful that the friend who strove to keep pace with him were the avenging Englishman seeking his ife. As their footsteps died away, Monica switched on the torch. The door of the building stood wide open before her and she let the light trp- vel from left to right, from Penning. ton kneeling over something on the floor to the huddled heap that sprawled awkwardly within a foot of where her brother lay. She ran for- ward with a little cry and fell on her knees at his side. She was reaching out for the knife the China- man had let fall when Pennington fired, when a voice called to her from: the darkness, “Monica!—er—Mrs, Viney!—Just switch that light over here a second. There's something I don't quite un- derstand.” The Commissioner stirred and his eyes blinked up at her, With shaking hands, she stcered the narrow ray until it concentrated on the disguised features of Pen- nington, who was slowly rising to his feet from the thing over which he had been kneeling, She saw a preposterous offigy, a) cunningly contrived figure of straw, with china mask and hands, over which @ coat of blue embroidered with a many-headed dragon was still drawn!
