About 20 organizations have made ap- plications for membership. After the meeting Mr. Delano said: Mr. Delano said: Tells of Work. “I am thoroughly convinced that this | 4s an important undertaking, not only | for the charities of Washington, but | rlso of the utmost value to the citizens | of our city, for it will give us all a| splendid opportunity to co-operate in | the carrying through of the welfare work which we know to be of vital worth for the health, safety and happi- ness of the whole community. Hereto- fore we have known a little, sometimes a good deal, about a few of our local charities. Now we shall know much about all of them. The coming of the chest will give to our social agencies the chance to work together with greater | efficiency, without duplication of effort or undue interference and with the minimum of expenses both for fund raising and for administration. | “As the time for our first annual | campaign for funds has been set for the | latter part of January next, the efforts of all concerned must be made from this time forward. For the planning and direction of these efforts Washington is most fortunate in having the services of Elwood Street, who comes to us from his great experience and success as di- rector of the community fund of St. Louis and before that in similar work at Louisville, Ky., and other cities. Mr. Street is to be with us after November 1, when his St. Louis chest campaign ends for the current year. “Pinally, may I express the hope that the organization of this social service financial federation for Washington will } serve to deveiop and intensify those larger and finer conceotions of com- munity service and civic spirit in the minds and hearts of an increasing number of citizens regardless of race, | creed or official status.” OFFICIALS REQUEST HALT | IN SALARY DEDUETIONS | The Interior Department has asked Controller General J. R. McCarl to defer action in deducting allowances from the salaries of Dr. William A. ‘White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, and some 130 employes there, in accordance with his recent ruling. until Congress has had an opportunity to_thrash out the whole matter. ‘This was revealed by Assistant Sec- retary Edward C. Finney, who has written to the controller general ex- plaining that through the years Con- gress has been appropriating money for St. Elizabeth’s and its employes on the . basis of quarters being furnished in| addition to salaries. Appropriations for this year, Mr. Finney said, were made on_that basis. | ‘The controller general is asked to withhold action in the case until the| new estimates are sent to Congress in » December, so that decision in the mat-| ter can be made by the legislators. The lengthy report of Dr. White, re- cently submitted to the Interior Depart- | ment, was not transmitted to the con- troller general, who handed down a ruling that deductions of allowances should be adjusted by October 1. The | ruling was interpreted as meaning that | the allowances of Dr. White, totaling some $11,000, left the noted alienist owing the Government about $3.000 at the end of his year's work, as his| salary is but $7,500. China exported more than $6,000,00 oducts in the t_year. All Drinks Imitating Intoxicants Even Non-Alcoholic, Are Declared Illegal By the Associated Press.
