A—4 =» CHEST TO ENLARGE EXECUTIVE GROU President and Board of Trustees Will Name New Members. Enlargement of the Executive Com- mittee of the Community Chest was voted by trustees of the Chest at a meeting yesterday. The new mem- bers, recommended by the recently created Procedure Committee, headed by H. L. Rust, jr, will be named by | the president and board of trustees. The trustees also voted to name a first vice president, who would offi- ciate in the absence of the.president. The enlarged Executive Committee will be composed of nine members elected by the board of trustees, nine members appointed by the president, the president, the first vice president and the chairmen of the various com- mittees. The director of the Chest and the secretary of the Council of Social Agencies are to serve as mem- bers without a vote. Changes Result of Study. The Procedure Committee recom- mended that the changes be made as 2 result of a study made by its mem- | bers of methods of operating the Washington Chest and those of other cities The committee has held 11 meetings, it was reported by Chalr- | man Rust, in carrying on these | studies. Members of the committee | under Chairman Rust are Joseph D. | Kaufman secretary: Mrs. G. Howland Chase, Dr. John O'Grady and Dr, W. 'W. Stockberger. J Chairman Rust, in making the rec- | commendation on behalf of his com- | mittee, voiced the opifion that the | local Community Chest “has more than justified the purpose for which it was created.” “It has,” he said, “developed a com- munity feeling and spirit that was unknown before its creation. There is a degree of cohesion among the | various elements that can be traced | directly not only to the united effort | of annual campaigns, but to co-ordi- nated thinking and planning that must be a constant feature of intelli- gent Chest administration. Its effec- tiveness, economy and censtructive | force are evident to all who are| scquainted with its activities.” Nominating Committee Created. A nominating committee was cre- ated at yesterday's meeting, with the following members: Mrs. Sidney F. Taliaferro, Marcy L. Sperry, Mrs. Al- bert W. Atwood, Col. William O. Tufts | and Garnett C. Wilkinson. The first | task of this committee will be the | nomination of candidates for a new board of trustees, to be elected at the annual meeting next month. The new trustees, in turn, wiil elect officérs at & later meeting. Herbert L. Willett, director of the Chest, announced that payments on pledges are below those at this time last year and asked that special ef- forts be made to bring this to the attention of contributors in sending out the April bills, President Clarence Phelps Dodge reported on matters coming before the Executive Com- | mittee since the last meeting of the board of trustees.

He encouraged the young artist every minute during the many sittiggs. He posed naturally. As Miss Herhann painted, the rugged-faced Canadian, who is now touring the untry in record road stand in “Dodsworth,” repeated the lines from Othello, which he intends to play when “Dodsworth” ends its tour. The portrait now hangs in the foyer of the Shubert Theater in New York, where Dodsworth .played for many weeks. Huston wants to present the work to the Royal Gallery in Toronto, his birthplace. s Mark Osterer, high official of Brit- 1sh-Gaumont, leading English motion picture concern, saw the Huston por- trait and at once asked Miss Hermann to paint him and Mrs. Osterer. The girl, who was named for one of the capital’s garden spots, intends to un- dertake the work in the Fall.

Attended Corcoran School. She went to art school at Corcoran, Miss Katherine Critchen's, the Penn- sylvania Academy in Philadelphia and the New York Art League. She went seriously to work in Washington. She exhibited at sev- eral of the local galleries. Her work began to draw attention. One evening at Congressional Country Club she met Walter Huston. The Lincolnesque actor was in Washington shooting “Rodney,” the saga of an Army horse, which was filmed at Fort Myer. Azadia talked to Huston of her art. He asked to come to her studio. He saw her work. He asked her to paint his portrait. She went to New York for the job, and until last Saturday never left Manhattan. —_— DEPOSIT BOX STOLEN $708.32 Lost From Shoe Store at 1115 F Street.

C, Story Knocked Down by Op- posing Player, but Re- turns to Game to Win." Thinks Well of Himself, but Can Back Up His Bragging. Houston was playing Dallas. In| the pitcher’s box for Houston, & 19- year-old kid was standing the Dallas players on their heads. A certain Dallas batter, weighing over 200 | pounds and hard as a maverick steer, got ffled at the way Dizzy Dean, the kid, was sending the Dallas bat- ters to the bench. Around the'third inning, when the Dallas heavyweight struck out, like a firecracker that had failed to ex- plode, he made some pointed personal remarks to and about and concerning Dean, Dizzy resented them volubly. Whereupon the Dallas glant strode out to the pitcher's box, knocked Dean down with a terrific right to the face and hit him again every time Dizzy tried to rise. The belligerent Dallas husky was put out of the game and Dean was | pulled to his feet. The Houston manager” called a relief hurler and | | ordered Dean to the showers to re- | cuperate. But, though Dizzy's head | was bloody, it was unbowed. 'm going to finish this game!” he said. Dizzy finished it—three runs | for Houston, none for Dallas. That’s just one of the many side- lights on “Dizzy” Dean in an article appearing in next Sunday's issue of This Week, The Star's colorgravure | magazine. You'll want to know where Dizzy gets that amazing confidence of his. ‘We can't lose. Not with me pitch- ing!” That's what Dizzy ‘thinks of himself. You'll find that Dizzy isn't dafty, and that there's a lot behind his innocent bragging. And youll find other notable articles and great short stories in This Week. Margaret Culkin Ban- ning tells a poignant short story about a couple who were on relief | and who were told they had “no | right to marry.” How did they solve the problem that faces millions of American boys and girls today?
