That somebody did not ask me for an increase over my sub- scription of last year. If he had asked for it, that incr would have been given.” When he that, Mr. Noyes quietly ipped a success pledge card calling for an additional contribution in front of Dr. Plerce. It did not appear to phase the pastor, however, for he reached for it and said: “Now, if some one will sup- ly me with a check on the bank of hich Mr. Poole is president, I will make it out right now.” Chairman Poole immediately supplied the check.

Dr. Pierce declared that he had heard that one of the ministers in the city not_only refused to give toward the Ccmmunity Chest, but had advised his eongregation against giving. think what should be done,” he gaid, “is to send representatives of each of the 75 agencies to him, in turn, ask- ing for a gift for each and showing him lwhat he could have avoided by giving ‘once for all’ for the Community Chest. hen it comes to the Community Chest, I don't think any laity ought Jet a preacher say from his pulpit hat his congregation should not give.” W.

Many of the teams were too busy to attend the meeting. This also vas a contributing factor to the de- ision to postpone the final meeting intil Tuesday night and eliminate a port meeting tomorrow. 43,641 Contributors. The total toward the Chest budget s $1492,901.92 to date, with 2408 ledges reported yesterday, making a otal of 43,641 contributors, compared vith 65,000 last year.

Secretary Mellon, he aid, had agreed upon the increase in is gift because of the emergency that aces the Chest campaign. Earlier in e day, Director Edwood Street had re- ived as & “parting gift” from Sir sme Howard, the British Ambassador, ho is soon to retire, a check for $110. From 24 givers, Mr. Noyes reported total of $13,160 in special gifts. “We're pell over the top, but the whole outfit b _working hard to raise at least 100,000 of the $300,000 deficit,” he id. The total amount raised by his ittee to date is $891,660. For the group solicitation unit of vhich Prank R. Jelleff is chairman, ad- litional _contributions amounting to 10,206.69 were reported.

Drake, secretary, who made he report for the committee explained it the “key” men in the various busi- pess and industrial houses had not com- leted their work nor had a report been endered yet from the police and fire- en, who are contributing generously o the Chest fund. The unit reported ,227 new subscripitons yesterday. Chance Calls On Chairman. Merrit O.

Chest Chairman Declares Forced Dollars Unwanted Rumors that some employers were coercing their employes into giving to the Community Chest again reached Community Chest headquarters yesterday, and in this connection John Poole, cam- paign chairman, said: “We have carefully investigated rumors @ the effect that some people are being coerced into giving, and so far we have been unable to find a single case of this kind. The Community Chest of Washington does not want unwilling dollars. If any per- son feels that he has been forced in any manner whatsoever to give to the Community Chest the Chest will gladly return’ his through the Catholic Charities addi- tional pledge cards would be placed in the hands of 40 or more parish priests for distribution in every Catholic Church this morning. A letter from Archbishop Michael J. Curley of Baltimore pleading the cause of the Chest, also will be read in the churches. Similar arrangements were being made in the Protestant churches and Jewish synagogues for the distribution of pledge cards, and Dr. Plerce ex- pressed the hope that the campaign solicitors would reach all the “stay-at- homes” from church services today. Reports may be submitted to Chest headquarters tomorrow by the secre- taries of the various teams, but in the interest of furthering the work it was decided that every team member should put in all the time possible in canvass- ing the city. Director Street suggested that division chairman change their teams around to send every worker into fresh territory. Must Be Persistent. “We must continue to be patient and discreet,” he said, “but always per- sistent, remembering that we are build- ing for the futyre as well as for the present. The Community Chest is not a one-year institution and our army o(urlorkers must build up good will that wi from year to year.” “The way things stand now,” Mr. Noyes said, “we are licked on the three- quarters line, but we cannot afford to admit we are licked if we want to make the campaign & success. The only way to deny that assertion is to fight. We must fight for a cause that we know is right; we must fight because our cause is a decent and helpful one; we must fight and continue to fight in order that the fair name of our city may be upheld.” .

Justice Peyton Gordon yesterday took under advisement a demurrer filed by Representative Edward E. Denison, dry Republican of Illinois, to an indictment for possession of liquor, filed against him and his former secretary, John Layne. Arguments were made by Attorneys Everett Sanders, former secretary of President Coolidge; William E. Leahy and E. Hilton Jackson, attacking the validity of the indictment, which charges both men with the possession of a trunk of liquor, seized at Deni- son’s office in the House Office Building, January 19, 1929, after prohibition agents had their attention called to a leaking suit case at Union Station, which had accompanied the shipment of the trunk. Assistant United States Attorney Walter M. Shea defended the indictment. Counsel for Representative Denison contended that the indictment is too vague and indefinite, and would not support a conviction or save the ac- cused from another trial. They also pointed out that the indictment fails to negative the exemption under the prohibition law which permits the pos- session of medicinal whisky. This over- sight. Attorney Leahy asserted, is fatal, because such exception is essential to the validity of an indictment. Shea denied the charge of duplicity, alleging that only one charge is made and that charge is laid against two in- dividuals. He also showed that the tional prohibition law specifically di rects that any possession except for ‘medical use is unlawful, and also pro- vides the manner in which an indi ment shall be drawn and does not re- quire that any negative defensive aver- ments be set out in it. Louisiana Bank Fails. NEW ORLEANS, La., February 8 (P). —The Bank of Napoleonville of Na- poleonville, La., was closed yesterday by order of the State bank commissioner use of frozen assets and sugar loans.

Of course, there are lots of good| Wwhy the Community Chest| must not fail, but certainly none is more important than Martha's new | blouse. | Now, let it be plainly understood at | the outset, Martha is not the sort of | girl who is given to complaining, least of all over a blouse—or rather the lack of one. Not that Martha couldn't find several things to get peevish about if she wanted to begin looking for trouble. And she wouldn’t have to look very far, either. She has a whole world of trou- | ble all to herself. Martha doesn't like to recall the day too vividly. She prefers to forget bad dreams, and no nightmare could be worse than memories of the day when she was playing mud ples out in Seat Pleasant and a sandbank caved in, breaking her back and making her an invalid for life. b That's all back in ‘the unpleasant past, and Martha is living in the cheery present, as she passes the hours and days and months and years away in her small wheel chair out at Children's | Hospital. Forgets Own Handieap. Martha forgets all about her own | handicaps when she looks about her | and sees the sufferings of other young- | sters in her ward. After all, she is only paralyzed from the waist down. She can sit in her chair and study her lessons in the morning and read books in the afternoon and look out the win- dow and everything, which is a whole lot better, she figures, than being in & plaster cast or unable to eat or too sick to look for the sunshine behind the clouds. Besides, Martha, being the veteran of the ward in point of confinement, feels a certain obligation to help up- hold the morale. There is that pretty, yellow-haired little girl over by the win- dow to consider for example. Ruby is only' 3 years old. She has had a tougher time in her 3 years than most folks have in 50. And there is little Luther, with the broken leg and the pert disposition. Martha can wheel her chair around from crib to crib and share some of her smiles when Ruby gets homesick or Luther grows restless | or any of the others need somebody | to_buck them up. But to get back to that blouse. Martha Likes Blouses. You see, Martha can't wear dresses with skirts on them any more, but she can wear nice blouses, which she tucks beneath the blanket over her chair. Martha likes blouses. - Unfortunately, her folks are no more able to buy her clozmnf than they are able to pay her hospital expenses, or to support her brothers and sisters, now in a home. So she has gone on wearing the same old colorless blouse furnished her by the hospital people. Recently Martha happened to men- tion, quite casually, that her blouse was getting rather threadbare in places. Miss Florence Abbott of the nursing staff agreed that this was so, but suggested there might not be any funds available just now with which to purchase a new one. “Oh, yes, there will,” Martha spoke , quite confidently. “I just read in the paper here where the Community Chest is going to give this hospital a lot of money.” Miss Abbott couldn't answer that very uj Community Chest money was received, C..

Blue One With Pink Collar. “May I have a blue one, with pink collar?” Martha asked eagerly. Miss Abbott promised she could, and vowed to pick it out herself, just as soon as the Community Chest money came to the hospital. “Dark blue, with fussy pink fri Martha repeated, thoughtfully. “My, won't I look great!” Now if that isn't reason enough why the Community Chest drive must suc- ceed, you're no friend of Martha, and if you're no friend of Martha you're no friend of several thousand other little children in this town who will certainly be out of luck if the Chest isn't filled. For after all Martha is only one little girl. EX-POLICEMAN EXAMINED IN LOS ANGELES INQUIRY Questions as to What Was Done With Slayer's Gun Are Put to Man in Custedy. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, . February 8.—Con- tinuing their efforts to solve the sl ing, two years ago, of John R. Glab, wealthy, retired Chicago druggist, police and members of the district attorney’s staff today questioned Russell Franks, discharged policeman, regarding any knowledge he might have as to what happened to the gun used by the slayer.
