1 CHEST DRVES T0P 108 AGBRERATE Total for 52 in All Parts of U. S. Gain Despite Stock Slump. The bugaboo raised by the recent slump of stock market quotations ap- parently has had little or no effect on community chest campaigns through- out the country, according to a report from the Association of Community Chests and Councils, received yesterday by the Washington organization. Analysis of the reports from 52 chest organizations in all parts of the United States reveals that they have raised a considerably larger aggregate amount than they had Jast year. Total pledges from these 52 campaigns amount to $16,667,817, as compared with $16,312,011 for last year, or an in- crease of $355,806, it is found. Study of the reports shows that of the 52 chests from which statements have been received, 35 already have exceeded their totals of last year, 15 are within easy reach of last year's results and only 2 are definitely below. From these 2, at Atlanta, Ga., and De- troit, Mich., have come special messages assuring the association thllnt supple- mentary campaigns now are in progress \'hh:hrzl'e certain, within two months at the most, to bring in at least the equal of last year's totals, it is re- ported here. Among other facts revealed are that no cnyn’nvms a community chest has found it necessary to postpone its cam- paign and in no instance has a chest committee despaired of reaching the amounts set as goals. Only one of the cities studied has decreased the quota sought. In Minneapolis, where the in- tensive period of the campaign occurred during the hwlt of the stock market break, $1,307/ has been raised this year, as compared with $1,260,254 last year, —_— MANY MARYLAND PUPILS FAIL IN HEALTH EXAMS Figures in Physical Tests Show Only 15 Per Cent Passed in Rural Districts.
