THREE PLAYS GIVEN Young People at Mount Pleasant Church Entertain. A generous amount of talent was seen last night, when the young people’s groups of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church presented three one-act plays in the church auditorium, to the enthusiastic enjoy- ment of a nearly full house. “The Traveling Man,” which was the opening presentation, had in its cast Phyllis Cogswell, Betsy Ross and Lloyd Edwards, all of whom gave earnest and intelligent portrayals of their characters, making the lesson | of the story impressive. John Strong and Betty Jean Smalley capably handled the principl parts in Booth Tarkington's “The Ghost Story.” With fine support by Patty Craig, Doris Little, Jane Howard, Wiley Marshall, Donald Thorn, Jack Marzolf and Clif- ton Gruver, the somewhat delayed climax of the story was finally reached cleverly and effectively. The final was a short comedy and had a cast composed of more experi- enced members of the young people’s groups—Margaret Irey, Hugh Wingard and Mrs. Willlam P. Kilgore. With many scenes for domestic ylulhbung in the plot, the cast acted realistically. | Throughout the evening's entertain- ment the acting was done in an easy and natural manner—more so than young grodp of the kind. It must be mentioned that musical entertainment was provided during the intermissions by potential maestros of the ages between 14 and 17. The orchestra also played melodies for an impromptu dance, which was held immediately at the close of the per- formance, given in celebration of the occasion. Credit must be given, too, to the stage and property managers of the separate plays, as they were remark- | ably effective. —_— GAY REVUE PRESENTED Variety Marks Talents at Teach- ers’ College. “RACKETS OF 1936 a musical revue held lightly together by a rather loose, but entirely adequate, night at Wilson Teachers’ College for the benefit of the school’s year book. The production will be repeated to- night. A host of talented students—sing- ers, actors, musicians, dancers, play- wrights—have been discovered by Di- rector John Zauner and his assist- ant, Helen Williamson, who combed the school for talent to present an all-Wilson entertainment. Hester Laster won the ingenue role, after the quest resolved itself into a separate audition. Luke Allen played opposite her and led his band in a number of selections. Features of the performance were the foot ball skit and the one-act play given by the Drama Club. Holmes Heatwole wrote the dialogue in limerick, for his skit satirizing the national Autumn pastime. Miss Abi- gail Veerhoff directed the one-act play and played one of the leading roles in it. Other students who took part in the gay revue were Jean Smith, Warren Fairall, Robert Bodkin, John Fletcher, Philip Cristaldi, Mary Etta Callahan, Mary Fletcher, Bea Hooker, Doris Blackwell, David Teeple, Carl Brad- ley and Zelda Whiteman. ——y ADVERTISING LINAGE INCREASE REPORTED Editor and Publisher Barometer Rises From 97.7 in October to 105.0 in November.

FEDERAL BUILDING INSPEGTION URGED Brightwood Citizens Back Fire Chief in Preven- tion Move.

By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, December 14—A survey of charity’s needs in repre- sentative cities shows they are less than for the Winter of 1934-35, but better-filled family exchequers already have yielded greater contributions than last year. Welfare agencies which call on the citizen to contribute to the Community Chest, dedicated to the’aid of those unable to pay the grocer or the doctor, have met a ready response. In some instances “stunts” were re- sorted to in order to create interest in the local drive for money. At Pierre, S. Dak., a turtle race was held. Fred- ericksburg, Va., inaugurated a “play- less play.” Everybody bought tickets but nobody saw a play. Total of $40 000 Sought. A survey of 55 representative cities from the country at large disclosed today charitable drives sought a total of some $40,500,000, and nearly $37,- 000,000 has been pledged, although many of the campaigns were incom- plete. Last Winter the same cities asked for more than $41,000,000 for their Community Chests, allied charities and similar agencies. They- obtained only about three-fourths that amount. A typical report was that of In- dianapolis. The 1935 goai was $724,~ 360, compared with $727,240 last year. Collections were $693,273, as con- trasted with last year's $674,274. Low Quota in Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo, sought its lowest quota since 1927, $1,100,000, and raised $1,035,581, as compared with $1,095,- 117 last year, when the goal was $95,- 000 higher. Cleveland received $3,209,103 of the $3,250,000 asked, or better than 95 per cent, compared with last year's 86.8 per cent. Chicago sought $200,000 more than last year, when the $3,000,~ 000 budget was over-subscribed $35,- 000. Indications were it again would go over the top. Los Angeles raised $2,489,779, or 85 per cent of its goal. New York is conducting & united hospital drive for funds to aid 55 in- stitutions which serve those unable to pay for medicines, beds and doctors. Two million dollars is sought. e Develops Industries. Iran is developing its textile sugar industries. 6,724,000 Australians. Australia’s population has just been placed officially at 6,724,000.

Unable to get a job because, in order to qualify, he first must get on the relief rolls and he is ineligible for this due to the fact he returned to his | home city less than a year ago after an absence of several years, James H. Woodburn and his family of three are facing Christmas without enough to eat or wear in their one-room | home at 1623 H street. ‘Woodburn, who was educated in Washington schools and married here 19 years ago, went to New York four years ago to work in the commissary department of the United States Lines. He remained there until July of last year, when he was transferred by merger to the Cunard White Star Line. Loses His Position, On the last day of August of this year, he, with 25 others, was notified | his services were no longer required, owing to a reduction in staff. Soon forced to vacate his apartment in New York, Woodburn brought his family to Washington and began a search for work. He registered at all employment agencies that did not require a cash deposit. ical work and office management was above the average, he would have to wait because his recommendations for the past few years were from out of town. Entirelv out of funds, he went to could not get relief because he had been in Washington less than a year. From the Travelers' Aid Society he received a little help, but this will not | last.

Mapping the last stronghold of the Great Ice Age in North America— the hitherto unknown tangle of gla- ciers and ice-sheathed mountains in the southwestern corner of Yukon Territory, Canada—was described in Constitution Hall last night by Brad- ford Washburn, leader of the National Geographic Society’s expedition into the region last February, ‘Washburn, who, with five compan- ions, spent four months surveying the country, fllustrated his talk with mo- tion pictures and lantern slides. The expedition made the first foot crossing of the St. Elias Range, which divides Yukon Territory from Alaska, and discovered 19 peaks more than 10,000 feet high., The proportions of these peaks were determined with surveying instruments and cameras, carried to more than 12,000 feet up Mount Hubbard, the highest survey station ever occupied In Canada. The explorers camped 84 days on snow and ice flelds, conducting surveys in the face of extreme cold and severe blizzards. They suffered two near-disasters. Thrae of the best dogs of their highly essential dog team fell into a creyasse in a glacier 70 feet deep, but were rescured unharmed by two of the men, who were lowered on ropes, A fire starting from a small stove burned one tent and a sleeping bag, leaving one tent and three sleeping bags for four men. Members of the expedition, besides ‘Washburn, were: Robert H. Bates, Philadelphia; Hartness Beardsley, Springfield, Vt.; Adams Carter, West Newton, Mass.; Ome Daiber, Seattle, Wash,, and Andrew M. Taylor, Ot- tawa, Canada. Robert Randall, air- plane pilot, carried supplies to the ex- pedition in a plane equipped with skis, and aided in the taking of aerial pho- tographs.
