(Continued From First Page.) t, and a loan to meet such needs as food, clathing and possibly medieal caré 88 has béen proposed. In the one case, the Federal Government is loaning funds- to help rehabilitate and earry over an industry temporarily stricken by natural causes and unable to finance its immediate needs Because of restrict- ed credit facilities. In such a case the United States is advancing money which in all human probability will be repaid out of the very crop which it is financing. In the other case—that of advances for food—while we may call it a loan because it sounds better, it is in effect © distributing funds for strictly char- itable purposes, which in many cases cannot be repaid at all and in others cannot be repaid without intolerable hardship to the beneficiaries. Should Be Frank. If charity is what we have in mind, then let us be honest with the people of the United States and with the tax- payers of the country and admit that we to have the United States Government, whatever the implication: and consequences, take over the work of charity hitherto assumed and well provided for by community effort and private contributions. If we are not thinking of charity, do we desire to have the United States Government. ask & family in distress, taced with starvation, to mortgage its fiext year's crop and its future means bf subsistence in order to meet its im- liate necessities? .e'id'hQ plain truth is that this is not what we have in mind. In so far as food is concerned, we are in effect dispensing charity and disguising it by calling it & loan. This is neither honest for the standpoint of the taxpayer nor the all- important standpoint of what are the proper functions of the Federal Govern- ment, and it will not work with equality and justice as between individuals. The high-principled and industrious among the distressed will insist on treating it as a loan, and will cripple themselves and their families in an attempt to re- y-it; the idle and hl'mm;s will ‘::z:: a gift, dism! any attem| rzp:‘rmn{l and live off the Federal Government as long as the opportunity exists. If the pedplé of the’ ardught-stricken areas are $o restricted in’ their credit facilities as to require the intervention of the Pederdl Governmert to finance their next year’s crop, credit may be extended to them with entire propriety. If & man and his family aré faced with starvation, what they need is relief and not to be saddled with additional debt. Termed Dole in Fact.

From the foundation of the Govern- ment we have looked to the community spirit care which can be properly undertaken by the Pederal Government? Is the United States to create bureaus in every county and municipality throughout the United States to dispense charity through a horde of bureaucrats? Will Dry Up Generosity. Do not believe for one minute that municipal lines without producing the result which has been repeatedly ex- emplified in the past of having the people turn to Washis n for relief and thus gradually all sense of their own responsibility Such a policy will not only destroy the sense of local responsibllity, which is one of the very foundations of our institutions, but will almost ' inevitably dry up the sources of private gen- erosity. Moreover, every charitable cause, good or bad, will ex- pect to find a responsive Federal Gov- ernment at its beck and call. Mem- bers of Congress will be expected to get & maximum of Federal funds for their respective districts and their suc- cess or fallure as members of Congress ‘will be measured by their ability to tap the Pederal Treasury.

Fields fumbled, but recovered, at the line and then punted to Kirn, who was downed in his tracks on Navy's 8-yard line. So far, it was a tight de- fensive battle.

Frentzel got off a beautiful punt to “Coffin corner” and Kirn was tackled on his own 5-yard line, but the play was called back, Navy being pen- alized 5 yards for offside. Stecker tr! a pass to Bowman, who trapped the bail as it hit the ground and it was incom- plete. Stecker then fumbled as he broke through the line and Tuttle re- covered for Navy on the latter's 40- yard line. Tschirgl slanted off his right tackle for 6 yards, then on a cutback, dashed to Army’s 45. 'd line for a first down. The next failed and Bauer fum- bled on & reverse, Suarez recovering for Army on the latter's 46-yard mark. The Cadets took time out. Stecker raced wide to the right for a gain of only 1 yard and Kilday ran the ball out of bounds on Army's 48- vard line. Stecker threw a long pass down the middle, but it was knocked down by Kirn. Frentzel punted out of bounds on Navy's 20-yard line. Tschirgi was spilled on'a reverse play without gain, but Kirn slipped through a hole in Army's left side for 6 yards. He tried the same spot, but found it plug- ged up, and Bowstrom went back to renew the punting duel. His kick to Bowman was returned 6 yards to Army's 44-yard line. Stecker broke through Navy's left guard for an 8-yard gain. ‘The Middies decided to take a rest. Stecker threw a pass to Frentzel, but the latter fumbled after almost com- pleting the play, Stecker ran wide for a first down on Navy's 43-yard mark. The Cadets were showing a lot of drive and Kilday, in two dashes off tackle, made it first down on Navy's 31-yard line. Frentzel was spilled by Tuttle for ard loss on a reverse and Referee O'Brien then penalized Army 15 yards for holding. It put the ball on Navy's 46-yard line. Once again Stecker tried the air, but his toss to Ed Messenger was incomplete. Fourth Period. Starting the final period. Stecker finally connected and Bowman, taking a short pass, ran to Navy's 25-yard line, The play was called back, however, and Navy penalized 5 yards. On the next attempted pass Stecker’s throw was in- complete and this time Army was penal- ized 15 yards for holding. This forced Army to punt and Frentzel's kick was caught by Kirn on Navy's 1 where he was downed hard. Kirn was thrown for a 3-yard loss and the Middies again called time. Gannon replaced Tschirgl in the Navy backfield. his_own 7-yard line Bowstrom punted to Bowman, and the Army quarterback was spilled in tracks on Navy's 49-yard line by Stef- fanides. Army lost 13 yards when sig- nals apparently were missed and the center's Army's 38-yard line. Erentzel cut around his left end for 5 yards and Stecker tried a pass, in- tended for Bowman, but knocked down by Bauer. Frentzel punted to Kirn, who was tackled by Lazar on Navy's 29-yard line.

Third down and 10 to go. Byng came back to hurl a left-handed down, and Navy was penalized 5 yards.

Stecker, on a reverse, made 8 y:i Herb got loose for 8 more, but Navy penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness and the net result was a first down for Army on Navy's 24-yard line. Stecker and Herb slashed through for six yards and Herb plunged off his own left tackle for another first down on Navy's 13-yard mark. Prentzel and Stecker worked their way in three more plays to Navy's 7-yard line. Fourth down, with 4 to go, a pass, Stecker to Bowman, was incomplete and Navy took the ball on its' own 7- yard line. Army was penalized for being offside on Bowstrom's first punt. The Navy captain then faked another punt, but it developed into & pass, Gannon to B; for a first down on Navy's 24-yard line.

Among the 418,941 persons 10 years of age and over in the District of Co- lumbia, only 6,611 are unable to read and write. ‘Ten years ago there were 377,295 per- sons 10 years of age and over and of that number 10,509 were rated illiterate. The “constant pressure of education | among all elements of the population has reduced the percentage of fMiteracy in the last 10 years from 2.8 per cent to 1.6 per cent. This development was revealed today in the Census Bureau's announcement | of the tabulation of the 1930 census re- turns for the_ District relative to il- literacy and school attendance. Tabu- lation of the District's population by | age, sex, color and nativity, also an- nounced today, disclosed that the Na- tlonal Capital's adult population con- tains 35.5 per cent between the ages of 25 and 44 years. ‘Women Outnumber Men. ‘The women still outnumber the men, but not so largely as 10 years ago, when many males were still in uniform. The number of males of all ages is 231,883, while the number of females is 254,986, ;ks; women being in the mafority by 23,- The decrease of illiteracy among the colored population overshadowed _all other details in the tabulation. The number of illiterates was reduced dur- ing the 10 years to 4,591 from 8,053 in 1920. This gain was made while the 'fi’fl'fimfl ‘was growing from 93,782 to Expressed in percentage, the illiteracy among the colored is 4.1 today, com- pared with 8.6 10 years ago. Comment- ing on this development, offcials at the Census Bureau said informally that it Wwas “a remarkable accomplishment.” All Classes Make Showing. ‘The decrease among the colored popu- laticn accounts in Lrn measure for the fact that illiteracy among all ele- ments has been reduced from 8.6 per cent in 1900 to the 1.6 per cent today. All classes of the population, including forelgn born, showed considerable lower precentages of illiteracy than in 1920. Only 533 native whites in a total Population of 277,294 are unable to read and write. Among the forelgn born white, of which the District has 29,659, the number of illiterates is 1,411,or 4.8 per cent. Even here gains have been made, the percentages in ‘1920 having been 6.1. Persons attending school represented 74 per cent of the total population within the ages specified, 5 to 20 years, as compared with 63.3 per cent in 1920. There are 47,809 boys and girls in the and 97.6 per cent attend school regu- luarly, compared with 93.5 per cent of 41,665 ten years ago. On the other hand, only 7,441 young men and women between 18 and 20 years attend school out of a total num- ber of 24,996. The percentage of 29.8 compares favorably, however, with the percentage of 16.2 in this group 10 years ago. 83,701 Attending School.
