The measure is ready to be reported by | Chairman Jones of the commerce com- | mittee and prompt action by the Senate | is expected. | The Senate committee has made sev- | eral amendments, however, which will | | call for a conference with the House | before enactment of the measure is | completed. This will be the fifteenth and the pending leg! lation authorizes a three-year period, beginning July, 1929, as the length of time in which to carry on the Nation- wide enumeration task. The cost for the period Is estimated at approximately | $39,000,000. Under the pending bill the 1930 cen- | sus would cover not only an enumera- tion of population, but the assembling of data on agriculture, irrigation, drain- |age and distribution and mines. The | census will cover the 43 States, the Di trict of Columbia, Alaska, Hawail and Porto Rico, and in the same period a census would be taken in Guam, Samoa and the Virgin Islands by the govern- ors of those islands.

Has Clear Vision. “I asked Mr. Fleming to take this sition,” said Mr. Poole, “because of is high rank in the financial life of the community as the president of one of its leading banks and one who is connected with many other large busi- ness interests of our city. I have known him for many years and have worked with him in numerous public enterprises and I know that he has won his high station by hard and faithful work and | with a clear vision of the greater fi i ture of this community as the Nation's Capital City. “Mr. Fleming has a reputation for doing big things in a forceful fashion and he always finishes what he begins. In a larger degree than any other man in this city I believe that he com- mands the confidence and warm per- sonal esteem of those substantial leaders upon whom in a large measure the financial success of our first Community | Chest campaign must rest.” Mr. Fleming's Statement. Mr. Fleming last night gave out the following statement: “I am glad to accept the chairman- ship teadered and to do my part in assisting the splendid men and women who are giving so generously of their | time and thought in creating the Wash- ington Community Chest. The chest principle is sound and with the su port of the citizens of Washington, will give constructive relief to the hospitals and charities of our community.” Mr. Fleming has grown up with Washington, and became the head of Riggs Bank at the age of 35. In ad- dition to his numerous business con- nections, he serves as a director and treasurer of the Corcoran Art Gallery, member of the Council of the Boy Scouts of America, a trustec of the National Training School for Boys, Revolution. and as president of the District of Columbia Bankers' As- | sociation. | o 1 Ninety-seven concerns in Philadel- | phia have been in business for 100 years or more. / {1111 /1‘ / i Rotary Electric This new model is the latest develop- ment in Rotary Electric Sewing Ma- chines—a new and beautiful cabinet style—specially designed electric motor and motor control.
