TEN, Whenever we have had a con
vention or something which TOOK more
n to handle than the club could

treasury, we have gone out WIN d
subscription list and got IN all the
money we could raise. Sometimes
in fact, generally, not enough to mn
ancc the matter in hand has Dccn
raised, and once in awhile, we haven
needed all we collected. This plan
has been a wasteful II and there
nave been some expenditures which
were cXtraVagant.
This has apparently been the cXpc-
rience of other cities over the cCur
try, For the las year or two various
commercial organizations nave lol'
lowed what is known as the BudSet
plan. From dues alone no organlza'
ton receives much more h a enough
to pay it's running expenses ana GER
tain amounts have to be raised every
year among the generous and pubic
spirited citizens of the community TO
defray the extraordinary expenses OIL
the club.
The budget plan is in the nature
of a tax on the business interests OF
the city. Most cities where the bud
get plan is in effect now follow the
idea Of equalizlng the assessment
among the different business con-
Germs of the city. Some businesses
reap more benefit from conventions
and such things than other businesses
do and it is the work OF the COM
mittee having the matter in hand to
consider these things and to say what
would be equitable for each business
to pay. Then the collections are made
and the funds derived are set aside
for certain specific purposes.
In this way the business men of
the city are saved the annoyance or
being dunned for various matters a
half dozen times or so a year. They
are seen Just once. They make Just
one payment and that is the end of
it. Should any outsider comc to them
for q donation for anything they can
tell him they have already made their
donation and refer the man to the
Commercial club. in this way every
business man in the city can save
himself q considerable amoun OF
moncy during The year, to say nctt-
ing Of the annoyance and trouble OF
having numerous subscription lists
presented TO him.
The officers of this organization
have been thinking this matter V

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1a.-Indiana's

OF the most important measures yet TO

State. Governor Marshall, the Vice
President-elect, sent his final message
to both Houses when they convened yes
terday.
For the first time in many years. the
Democrats have absolute control Of both
branches of the Legislature, So of the
100 members of the House being Demo
Gratis. and all but eleven of the fifty il

Unless progressive legislation is en-
acted, the people, some day will open
up the cul-de-sac, even though the open
ing may lead representative govern
rrlent over a precipice into pure social
ism or paternalism," said Governor
Marshall in his message.
Representative government does not
mean that present-day conditions can
not be remedied. Upon the contrary,
progressive legislation may be enacted

Gossips Declare Minor Dip.

/. Accepting Hospitality.

Attaches Of the French embassy were
bcset at the Metropolitan Club today
with inquiries foT other young dipIo-
mats as TO whether the rumor is true
that Nine. Jusserand, wife of the
Franch ambassador, and now doyenne
of the diplomatic circle. is to make GER
tain young secretaries be more careful
about what invitations they accept and
from whom. Indiscriminate acceptance
of rendered Inequalities is to be stop
ped, according TO the story.
The Intercepted Frenchmen shrug-
ged their shoulders, and made evasive
reply, generally conveying the sugges-
ton that there might be some truth in
the story, although imputing no activity
TO Nine. Jusserand.
Hard On Climbers.
Circulation of the story gave a great

themselves, and the others, those who
like to entertain and are by no means
certain Of their social position. The
young diplomat has been the greatest
asset of climbers" in the past and
present, and If young attaches are cut
or from the entertainments of ''climb-
ers'' the outlook is reported dark, in
deed.
Bachelor diplomats, particularly the
younger ones, are said to have been just
about as easy going and undiscrini-
ating in the matter of accepting invi-
tations hither and thither as most other
young bachelors are. 1t is reported,
too, that some of the younger secre-
taries have found that numerous invita-
tons have helped greatly in ekeing out

as these, for it assures the recipient of
a good dinner, to begin with, and the

of invitations to dinners and dances
given by the socially unelect. 1t will be
more or less of a serious matter with
the impecunious attache.
No Possible Evasion.
The hard and discomforting fact in
the situation. it is said, lies in this:

The meeting of the Child Welfare AS.
ISOLATION of Anacostia yesterday after
noon in the Van Buren, School, in w
street, which was attended by about
100 parents, was planned to convey to
the parents of the pupils an idea as
to the children's studies in physical Gull
ture and music. It was presided over
by Mrs. Hattie Cornish, the president.
Action songs, illustrating the kind OF
music taught to the smaller pupils,
were sung by pupils of the Van Buren,
buildings first ana second grades. As
the songs proceeded the motions of the
animals or things described were pic
tured. Physical culture exercises that
the pupils of the Ketcham School per-
form each day were next gone through
by children in the second and fifth
grades of that building. Miss Stockett.
the physical culture instructor, directed
the movements.
Twenty-four girls, who compose the
Camp Fire Girls Association of the
Ketcham School, appeared in folk
dances. Chief among these was a Nor
wegian mountain dance and q German
"Caroussel." One of the requirements
of the association is a knowledge of
folk dances. and the parents enjoyed
the exhibition greatly.
DIR. Rebecca Stoneroad delivered an
address on What the Schools are
Doing for the Physical Development of
the Child" She referred to the physical
culture department, the modern build
ings and the Fairgrounds as showing
some of the things through which the
pupils are enabled to live healthy lives.
Prof. Hosmer Johnson, supervising
principal, was another speaker, and
he asked the parents to consider the
question OF home study for the pupils.
