MILLIONIARE’S WORLD TOUR Mr J. D. Rockefeller, the American millions, re, then eightyfour. is to come out of his retirement for a special occasion. He is preparing for an impressive and expensive trip. In the next twelve months or so he will undertake a tour of the less frequented and out-of-the-way parts of the world. It will occupy six months at least. \ splendid yacht is Being built for the purpose, and with 100 guests he will embark on what will perhaps be his greatest holiday. THE FORD WAY. Mr Henry Ford, of motor car fame, says that “no man should start to make his fortyne until he is forty. I never saved any money before that age. I never attempted to make a fortune 'in my life. There is only one sure road to success. That is the road of service,” says Mr Ford. “I don’t believe in the theory of thrift as a necessary basis for a fortune. A man should a 1 wavs save enough t r * provide for certain necessities—sickness, to secure a home, and so on —on the

same basis that a man should not take a railway trip without having enough money to buy a return ticket. Men and women should derote their Ijfves unti'l they are at least forty to one ideal—that of making themselves as efficient as possible in their business or pro fession. If they do that they will make so much money after they are forty that all the money they scrimped for and saved before they were forty won’t matter."
