Officers Serve Free. “No one of the elected officers of the Community Chest receives one cent of compensation for the time he gives the chest. The same is true of the 4,000 volunteer workers. The staff of the chest is to be kept as small as it is possible to ad untel{ handle the chest's affairs. It will cost less than half as much to raise and distribute the money through the Community Chest as it used to tost the separate agencies.” Another quest; answered concerns the membmm% of “mmumu such as the Y.

There was a | new and startling frankness, which might seem quite shocking to an older eneration, but this new outlook, on eing more carefully examined, was appraised as a wholesome ttend rather than a factot of moral deterforation. “Field workers of the association have | covered many large cities and many | States,” sald Ray G. Everett, editor of | the assoclation journal. “Through our | educational groups they have studied various phases and tendencles of American youth. Thelr reports are altogether encouraging.

And, waxing philosophical, he demanded that legislation be enacted to curb the de- sire of employes for higher pay on the ground that human beings are inher- ently avaricious. “Government employes don’t know what they want” Evans declared in stentorian tones. “The more money you give them, the more they ask for.

He was quoted as saying the south- bound train was makingl about 65 miles an hour when it hit the freight train wreckage. “The fast train went up in the air and the coaches rolled over into a fleld.
