The Family Ice-Box Possibly you haven't realized the necessity for ice in winter as well as in summer and the ice box has been out of com- mission for several months. With warm weather, the ice box becomes the most im- portant factor in housekeep- ing. Upon it depends the freshness of food, its health- fulness and its sweet natural flavor. Heat causes food to change. Intense heat brings about cooking. Both before and after cooking, food must be kept cold to prevent the spoilage which ordinary tem- peratures bring and which render food unfit to eat. A regular supply of pure, clean American Icc will keep food fresh and safe, however hot the <eeather.

Phoue A, 560, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Initiation of Community Chest Left to Civic and Trade Bodies The desirability of the “commu- nity chest” system for all Washington charities was discussed in detail by the Washington Council of Social Agencies at its monthly meeting in the oak room of the Ralelgh Hotel yes- terday afternoon. The Rev, Dr. John O'Grady, chair- man of the council’s committee on community chest, read the commit- tee's report, which suggested that the civic and business agencies should initiate the community chest move- ment, rather than the social agencies. This suggestion was approved by the council. Father O'Grady pointed out the necessity of the right type of leader for the success of such an undertaking. Dr. O'Grady's report follows, in part: Find Method Indorned. “The committee has found that with very few exceptions those who have had actual experience with the community _chest indorse this new | method of financing the soclal work of our American cities. In nearly all the cities with conditions similar to those of Washington and in which Community financing of social work has been adopted the amount fixed the budget commttee has been most notable examples of successful community chests are to be found in Cleveland, Cincinnati. Rochester, Toledo, Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis. It is the gen- , eral opinion of social workers that where the single community drive hae been a failure, or only a partial | success, it was due ‘to the faults or complications of organization rather {than to the system itself. There is, however, considerable opposition to the plan on the part of certain Ixperience with community fi- nancing of social work shows, (a) { that in nearly all cases it has brought | the social agencies greater amounts v than the system of Individ- () that it has saved dividual campaign, and thus permit- ted them to give more time and thought to their regular work: (c) | that it has made for better co-opera tion among the different agencies, and thus brought about a more wholesome community spirit; (d) that it has permitted the community to provide more systematically for needed de- velopments in so Alive to Difficulties. “Leaders in the communit: movement, however, are keenl to its dangers and limitations. The {problem of efficient organization is a most one. 1l experience seems_to show that without efficient rganization and the right type of leadership community financing is doomed to failure. ~More difficult &till is the problem of inducing the differént_agencies to submerge thelr own _individuality in a general com- munity program. { any agencies feel that the com- munity chest will mean the loss of the personal interest of their sup- porters. Another difficulty to be faced is the feeling on the part of the older and stronger agencies that they are capable of taking care of their own work alone. Under the tem of individual financing they » assured of support. They |urally hesitate to exchange the pres- ent system for one which is still in the experimental stage. fourth difficulty DELAY OF HEARING ON BUILDING CODE Public_Discussion to Await Selection of Successor to Commissioner Keller. is the bellet The proposed public hearing on the new. building code for Washington will not be held until a successor to ingineer Commissioner Keller has been appointed, it was learned at the District building today. Building Inspector John P. Healy has just returned from the annual convention of the National Building Officials’ conference at Toledo, where he gathered many valuable sugges- tions for the improvement of the iocal regulations. Held of Special Value. The opportunity to attend that gath- ering of leading building officials of the nation was of special advantage to Inspector Healy, since it was held on the eve of the adoption of a re- vised set of rules for the District. Mr. Healy said he could not em- phasize too strongly the benefits which any building official would de- rive from being present at such a meeting. “Not only are the publio sessions of the convention enlightening, but it affords an opportunity to exchange views with experts along various lines of building activity.” D.

A fifth difficulty to be met is the maintaining of the enthusiasm of the community drive from year to year. The community chest is very largely a product of war enthusiasm. Within the past two years all cities adopting the chest plan have found it increasingly difficult to obtain their required quotas. See Education Needed. “Before a successful community chest becomes possible in Washington it will be necessary for the social agencles and the community as a whole to be moré fully informed in regard to its merits and demerits. The committee believes that while the problems incident to financial fed- eration should from now on be studied By the council and by the in- dividual members thereof, any prac- tical and definite steps toward finan- clal federation must be initiated by the clvic and business organizations of Washington rather than by the soclal agencies of the community. “In addition, we feel that sufficient evidence of support by the public has not been shown to justify us in mak- ing a favorable report.” The report was_signed by Dr. O'Grady, Willlam Knowles Cooper, Miss Hetty Anderson, Mrs. Charles Goldsmith and Newbold Noyes. “This is in' no sense purely a busi- ness man's proposition. but merely a suggestion from them,” declared Charles J. Columbus, secretary of the community chest organization com- i mittee. “I hope that no idea will ket around that the business thinks he will save money by a plan & a community chest,” clared Mr. Columbus,” who stated .that nothing would be started un- less there was absolute agreement among those interested in the ques- tion. ~ Mr. Columbus explained that the community chest plan, as con- | sidered for Washington, would mean one direct appeal for funds to cover expenses for the work of District charities, after an agreement had been reached in regard to the vearly budget submitted by these organiza- tions. Hardest Work at Start. “The greatest stumbling block will be the starting - point,” declared Dwight Clark, speaking in favor of the community chest plan. Means for raising an $800 deficit in this year's finances of the council was discussed. Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, chairman of the finance committee, told the members that she was send- ing a letter to former contributors j asking for a renewal of their contrl- butions. Letters alzo will be sent to all of the delegates of the council asking them to subscribe what they can toward the elimination of the deficit. Legislation for the voluntary com- mitment of those suffering from men- tal defects, and compulsory treat- ment and report of all social diseases was urged in the report of the fam- ily committee of the organization, Mrs. W. S. Ufford, chairman. School Health Report. The health committee, under_the | chairmanship of Dr. Joseph Wall, urged as a result of its survey of the District public schools that in- creased amounts be granted in the next appropriation for additional nurses, physicians and dentists. Mr. Noyes presided during the first part of the meeting, in the absence of | Miss Mary Gwynn,' president of the council. Dr. W. S. Ufford presided | during the latter part of the meeting. These hints are being gone over by the major and Inspector Healy and will be considered at the public hear- ng. Col. Keller's leave of absence will not expire until the middle of June, and it i3 not expected that a new Commissioner will be named before that time. VETERAN PRINTER DIES.

Thc. HOLIDAY JUNE 3 FORPUPILS LIKELY Board of Education to Con- sider Shrine Week Plan at Next Session. Public school children probably will be given a holiday on June 5, when the Shrine convention opens. The question of closing the schools on this date al- ready is being considered by school authorities. Some officials believe that tn view of the immense crowd that will be In Washington during the conclave, the schools should be closed the three days the convention is in session. Others are sald to be adverse to an extended holiday so close to the end of the cur- rent school year. Final decision, how- ever, will be left to the board of edu- cation, which is expected to take up the matter at its next meeting on May 16. The schools are co-operating active- ly with the Almas Temple Entertain- ment Committee in preparing for the convention. Supt. Ballou has in- structed officers and teachers to re- quest the school children to aid in the war on the “eyesores” of the city. In a circular letter to the officers and teachers Dr. Ballou sald: Co-Operation Is Urged. “In order that our visitors may have a pleasant visit with us, and take home with them a proper apprecia- tion of our hospitality and good will toward them, it will be necessary for every resident of the city to assist in their entertainment, as well as to do everything that can be done to give our visitors a favorable impression of the National Capital. To this end, 1 ask that the public school pupils and their parents assist the local enter- tainment committee by helping to make the city as beautiful as possi- ble during the week of the conven- tion. We can do this by the display of flags and other decorations. W can particularly make our city beau- tiful by cleaning, painting and beau- tifying our houses and yvards. “Let every teacher take advantage of this opportunity to impress upon pupils the important lesson of co-op- eration, which s essential in the e Portland Pharmacy C.
