Rockofeller, the world's wealthiest man, who Saturdyy cel- ebrated his eighty-third birthday, went to church yesterday, attend- ing the first service in the not yet completed community church in the village of Pocantico Hills, near his estate.

ROCKEFELLER TELLS OF BLIZZARD Yellowstone Auto Party Held Two Hours on Moun- tain Peak. Ty the Associated Press. Mont., July 10.—With s bronzed and almost blis- .red from their experiences in facing ‘e biting winds of the blizzard that turday swept over the mountain aks of Yellowstone National Park, rs. Percy Rockefeller and the party hat accompanied her today told of heir experiences. They arrived in jozeman last night “It was the most tkrilling experi- <nce and one of the most delightful, 00, that I have ever known,” said drs. Rockefeller as she greeted a “wpresentative of the Associated Press er arrival here.

By the time we hed the ton, however, the mer- had fallen and the wind was ing cold, while the snow fell in a regular blinding shect. At the top of Mount Washburn, fortunately for us, is a little log cabin. We were zlad to see that, I can tell you, and . we tock refuge All of our party turned in and secured some log wood from nearby and some boards. In the cabin was a fireplace and there we started a roaring fire. “Our first concern was to get Mr. Fuller, our chauffeur, warmed up. He had failed to bring his overcoat and zloves, and he had remained steadily at his post driving the car. while we were sheltered bv our wraps from le winds that swept over the moun- tain. “In_the cabin we found it cozy and warm. We kept the fire going, but, as the snow piled up outsids and the wind increased in fury, we wondered whether we were goMig to be ma- rooned there, and there was a little feeling of anxiety. None of use said anything about it, however. Wind Dies Down., “After about two hours of a heavy snowfall. the wind dieq down and the clouds roiled away so we could see some distance. Our chauffeur went out and inspected the roads and said he thought we could make the trip Pack. So we all climbed into the big car and started. “All went well until we ran into a snow bank that blocked the way. A little careful bucking of the drifts by the machine opened a way, and, final- 1y, we went on down the mountain- side. “It seemed odd to all of us to be caught in_such a cold, bitter snow- storm in the very middie of July, but we really enjoyed every minute of it. “There is one thing you may be sure of, the mext time we come out into this rugged country we are go- ing to wear the attire that the other mountain climbers do. It is far more sensible than the dresses we brought along.” . 47 TONS OF DIRT FALL ON LONDON POPULACE Fog, Smoke and Soot in single Month Dump Surprising Quan- tity, Begriming Clothes.
