AMERICA HEADS LIST OF MULTI-MILLIONAIRES ! Henry Ford Heads the List, and Rocke feller Contes Next.—Mellon Is Third. —Buck Duke Has More Than SIOO,- 1 000.000. lyomlon, June 17.-—Who are the ton richest men in the world? asks the Sun- | day Express. It answers the query it self by giving a list at the head of which j is Henry Ford, whose fortune is esti- | mated at $500,000,000. John I>. Rock efeller comes next with $450,000,000; j Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, is third with $150,000,000. and then follow the Duke of Westminster. Sir , Basil Zuharoff. Hugo Stinnes. Percy Rockefeller, Baron H. .Mitsui. Rarou 11. j Iwasaki and the Gnekwnr of Baroda. each with $100,000,000. Jabes li. Duke, the tobacco king, Geo. ' F. Baker, of the First National Bank of New York, and T. li. Walker, the Min neapolis timber landowner, the Express might be added to the list, since they all have fortunes estimated at .>100.000,000, while there are at least three other In dian rulers whose fortunes probably ex ceed tli is amount. The Rothschilds. Guggenheiins, Van derbilts. Weyerhousers, aud the Aators. says the writer, do not appear because theirs are family fortunes. The Roths child wealth has been estimated at from $250,000,000 to $500,000,000 and that of the Astors at from $100,000,000 to $500,000,000. Henry Ford is possibly the richest man in all history, the paper declares. He has a net business income of more than $100,000,000 a year. He earns $250 every minute. Croesus may have been richer, since his famous gift to Delphi cost $10,000,000, and that, reduced to today’s teiine, might mean $200,000,000. .John D. Rockefeller gave away $500.- ' “JUMK.'J to charity, and l<> foundations be fore 1921. He is the head, however, of tin* biggest group of wealthy men ever produced by a single industry, and bis private fortune must still rank him sec ond. Sir Basil Zuharoff is Europe’s mystery man, but it is no mystery tiuit lie is one of Europe's wealthiest men. He owns more than half of Monte ( arlo, and his holdings in armament firms are even I larger. He is in oil. finance, shipping, 1 in fact, it is difficult to say what he is not interested in. The Alitsuis aud the Iwasakis are financiers, traders, and shippers. Ihe Gaekwar of Baroda's wealth is almost impossible to estimate, but his diamonds alone are valued at $1,250,000, and he has a jewelled tapestry worth $1,500,- 000. Guns of gold weighing 400 pounds stand at his palace gate. Bill to Make Solociting Labor a Felony . Atlanta.

New York, July 19.—Property owners throughout the country are urged to equip their buildings with lightning rods by the National Board of Fire Duder writers. which today declared that 99 per cent, of the first caused by lightning could thus lx* prevented. The losses by fiiio caused by lightning total $30,- 000.000 annually. A widespread indifference to this form of protection exists, however, due to the swindling methods employed by lightning rod dealers in the past, and the fact that it is highly difficult to obtain an expert who can determine whether or. not in stallation has been correctly done. Careful research by electrical authori ties including Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz of the General Electrict Company, and Thomas A. Edison have proven conclu sively the efficiency of the lightning rod as a safety device, the Undterwriters de clare. To guarantee property owners that their lightning rods have been properly installed and are a protection instead of a menace, the Board of Fire Under writers has adopted a plan whereby a representative of their organization in spects all installations in his district, and affixes a “master label" to the work if it proves worthy. "Insurance companies will grant a re duction of insurance for lightning rods, in states where reductions are allowed, only on those buildings where the mas ter label is attached along with the iden tification tag of the company which made the installation,”- the statement declares. Laboratory service will be provided by the Fire Underwriters, where materials submitted by lightning rod companies will be tested for ctirefication. The master label will be attached to the work of only those companies which maintain an inspection service along with their installation service, the Undterwriters have ruled. No loghtning rod company is barred from this laboratory service. The adoption of the “master label" system will mark an era in preventing loss of property and life throught light ning. the Fire Underwriters state, .and for the first time standardize lightning rod installation. The system will cover the entire United States and Canada. Furr Township Sunday School Conven tion.

PROPOSED TUNNEL TO BRING OCEANS NEARER TOGETHER Will Cut the Rail Distance Between 1 Oceans Seventy Miles. Denver, Colo., July 19. —Actual woi7 on the Aloffat funner, through the con tinental divide west of Denver, is ex pected to begin early next month. The first shovelful of dirt may be turned on August 1. Colorado Day. Everything is in readiness to start. Bids for con struction are being advertised, and the bonds are being offered for sale. The Aloffat tunnel will out the rail distance between the Atlantic aud the Pacific oceans by 70 miles. Its construc tion is an engineering feat of much dif ficulty. and it is of great national im portance. for it will open up a large section of land in northwestern Colora do rich in natural resources. The cam paign to construct this tunnel has been carried on for the last 50 years. Early in the sixties the pioneers of what is now the state of Colorado realized ade quate transportation was necessary to develop the territory, and set about to get it. The tunnel commences at the head waters of South Boulder creek in GiHn county near the town of Tolland, passes under James Peak and emerges a trifle more than six miles west at the head waters of the Fraser river in Aliddle Park, Grand county. The western side of the trunel is 4 1-2 miles from the town of Fraser, Colorado, The tunnel will be available immedi ately to the Denver & Salt Lake rail road. now completed to Craig. Aloffat county.. The plans of this line include building into Salt Lake City. It also will be available later to the Denver. Rio Grande & Western railroad which now is building a cutoff to connect with the tunnel. The actual saving to the Den ver & Salt Lake railroad will be the tor tuous climb of 23 miles over the crest of the continental divide, where the Aloffat road now crosses the divide above timber line at an elevation of 10.660. feet. On the Denver & Ria Grande the dis tance to Salt Lake City will be shorten ed by 173 miles through (.building the cutoff to connect with the tunnel. The tunnel will be 6.04 miles long. The project consists of a main tunnel 20 by 16 feet in the clear and a pioneer tunnel paralleling it. Trains through the tun nel will be operated by electricity. Pro vision has been made so that automobiles and other traffic may pass through the tunnel in sj>ecial cars. The tunnel ele vation at tin* east portal is 9.190 feet, at the west 9.100 feet. Sponsors of the tunnel predict that ultimately almost all of the railroads us ing Denver will use the tunnel as a short cut from Denver west. Tourists who have enjoyed the trip over the conti nental divide on the Aloffat route will mourn the fact that the coming of the tunnel will mean that the famous little station, Corona, the “top o' the world.” will pass out of existence as a railroad stop. Corona, 10.660 feet above sea lev el. now is the highest jxiiut in the world where there is a standard guage railroad. The tunnel will eliminate the climb from Tolland, whose altitude is about 9,000 feet, to Corona. This climb has given many a thrill to Eastern tourists. The grade above Tolland is four per cent — almost unprecedented in railroad grades —and there are many curves as the train mounts upward. It is a land of perpet ual snow. Even in the middle of June, when near the top of the divide, fre quently climbs through snowdrifts higher than its car tops.
