His work as a dollar |a year man in the world war and |a gift of $1,000,000 in 1913 to the Council of Grain Exchanges for re- |search work in crop improvement, | were evidences of his patriotism. In 1923 the Sears-Roebuck Agri- cultural Research Foundation was established as a step in actual farm relief through scientific mar- keting. But his delight was in helping philanthropy. “Charity,” Mr. Rosenwald said, |“is the one pleasure that never | wears out.” | He practiced this |his known benefactions laround $25,000,000. When he reached three score years, celebrated his birthday by away $687,500. Beiicved In Giving He was a firm believer in gi so that the living would be ben fitted. Foundations designed toa! precept until totalled in 1922 he future generations did not appeal | |to him and he offen cited perpe- ituities which has outlived their |usefulness ~ but could not changed legally despite the fact that their funds were idle and their | capital increasing. His interest in the negro was aroused by Bocker T. Washingion famous negro educator, and head |’ of the Tuskegee Institute. From donations to the institute, the in- terest developed into a campaigr for primary and secondary schools for negroes. Negroes and whites cooperated state and county governments agreed to operate the scheols and lhc program became so ambitious in 1917 the Rosenwald Fund was established in Chicago. For the first 10 years Mr. Rosenwald personally directed the work. In 1928, however, he became chairman of the fund's board of directors and active mana ent was placed in the hands of a full time staff More than $5,000,000 had been devoted to the work by the end of 1930 and 5,075 schools for negro children, housed in clean, modern, airy buildings, dotted the scuthern states from Maryland to Texas. Aided Negroes Establishmen in Chicago, of the first Y. M. C. A. was largely through “Mr. Rosenwald's efforts. After several years of successful operation of the institution, he mad2 a standing offer of $25,000 to any city which would raise $125,000 for & similar Christian center for ne- groes. As a result more than $625,.- 000 was given by him for such buildings in many cities. Mr. Rosenwald’s Jewish chariti were more direct and larger than his negro benefactions. He spent $5,000,000 to help put Russian Jew- ish farmers back on land in the Crimea after they had been dis- possessed in other sections of Rus- sia. Other hundreds of thousands were given to similar Jewish colo- nization plans, although he never believed in the Zionist movement for establishing a Jewish home- land in Palestine. | In February, 1921, Mr. Rosenwald !headed a committee of 25 Jews |who visted the stricken peoples of Europe. This was in preparation |for a campaign conducted by the | American Jewish Relief Committes which brought $14,000,000 in con- tributions. He subsequently gave $1,000,000 for Jewish relief and colonization in Europe, subscribed $5,000,000 to |the American-Jewish Joint Agri- |cultural Corporation, gave $5,000,- 000 to the Jewish Theological Sem- ‘mary as a memorial to Louis | Marshall, noted lawyer, and aided | financially libraries and museums iof the Near East. He received the Gottheil medal !of Zeta Beta Tau, national Jewish | collegiate fraternity, for the great- lest service to Jewry in 1928, and | the same year he received the Har- \mon Foundation award for his ‘.,en\ci's in improving the relations | between white people and negroes. [ He also was credited for the union of the American Hebrew congregations, although many of these congregations felt the sting |of his censure when he charged extravagant use of wine under the guise of religion. Mr. Rosenwald was born in a {house close to the home of Abra- |ham Lincoly, in Springtield, Il | August 12, 1962, and was one of | tive children. His two brothers and two sisters reside in Chicago. The | mother of the family, Mrs. Augusta Rosenwald, died there on February 4, 1921. She was born in Germany. came to America in 1853, and mar- ried Samuel R. Rosenwald in Bal- timore in 1857. ©Of his boyhood, Julius Rosenwald often said, “I was uneducated in the public schools.” From Springfield, he went at the age of 16 to New York as a clerk in the clothing store of Ham- merslough Brothers, conducted by his uncles At 21 he opened a istore of his own on Fifth Avenue glving | Diamond’s Finish an Objeci Lesson * * * * * * # * * Last Episode in Career of Notorious Gang Czar, Slain by His Own Kind, Emphasizes Only Ending to Path of Crime.

Mr. RosenwalG esiablished the revolutionary policy in the mail order business of refunding pur- chase money to dissatisfied custo- mers without question. The wis- dom of this step was attested by the growth of his house. From $11,000,000 in 1900, the sales jump- ed to $50,000,000 in 1906, to $100,- 000,000 in 1914 and $270,000,000 in 1919, “A man who (ninks much and talks little—a man of action,” was a colleague’s description of the commercial genius who directed this growth of the new business glant. Mr. Rosenwald was twice. His first wife was Nusbaum of Chicago to whom he was wed April 8, 1890. She died in May, 1929, and the following Janu- ary ho married the mother-in-law of his eldest son, Lessing Rosen- wald. She was Mrs. Adelaide Good- kind, widow of & merchant at St Paul, Minn. 1 and Mr. interest married At that time | Augusta | The wedding took place at the | Lessing Rosenwald home near Philadelphia. By a pre-nuptial Jagreemcm Mrs. Goodkind was given $1,000,000 and waived dower rights in the Rosenwald estate. | The war eniisted Mr. Rosenwald as a dollar-a-year man in charge |of purshase of army supplies. 1In |one month in 1917, he awarded | contracts for $40,000,000 worth of | army shoes. Later, as a member of the Coun- cil of National Defense, he went to France to speak to the nation’s de- fenders in camps. In one of his talks he was reportea to have stir- |red resentment by his advocacy of the cause of the negro, bu! the | incident never received official rec- ognition. Probably the most difficult peri- od in his busy life came in the | winter of 1921, when the post-war |deflation and business depression uck the mail order house amid- 000,000 and when it became appar- ent that $16,000,000 inventory losses would have to be written off in the 1921 balance sheet Mr. Rosen- ! wald pledged $20,000,000 of his per- sonal fortune to see the business through. He purchased the com- pany real-estate valued at $16,000,- 000 and donated 50,000 shares of Sears-Roebuck stock to the com- pany treasury, with the option of re-purchase within three years. The action saved the firm, re- established the business on a lower price level and aided the recovery of trade generally. It was hailed | as one of the most remarkable fin- {ancial moves of the decade. Daily Cross-word Puzzle ACROSS Word of lamentation Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle 11. Units of weight 13.

Willa Cather deepens her indi- vidual channel of writing in ‘Shad- ows on the Rock,” with her quiet strength and fininshed writing, as technique develops her analytical approach in “The Waves.” Other novels offering the bal- anced point of view characteristic of the year include Edna Ferber's “American Beauty”; A. J. Cronin's “Hatter's Castle”; Henri Faucon- nier's “Malaisie, and “A White | Bird Flying” by Bess Streeter Ald- rich. Outside the field of novels we find less experimentation and more assurance in one year's output of short stories. The O. Henry memorial award volume contains work of such pol- ished writers as Wilbur Daniel Steele. Somerset Maugham published a collection, “First Person Singular,” that is representative of his know- ledge of human nature. Biographies More Ccnsarvative Biography turned still further from the extremes of ballyhoo and ridicule to more conservative eosti- mates. Ray Stannard Baker's “Woodrow Wilson,” Emanuel Hertz's “Abra- ha mLincoln” and Clenneil Wilkin- son’s “Nelson” serve to illustrate this trend. An unbiased view of the times and personalities in- velved is found in the correspond- ence of Ellen Terry and Bernard Shaw. H. G. Wells tried to give us a fresh consideration of old facts in {The Science of Life,” which he wrote with' Jullan 8.
