Per Capita Contribution Larger Than

washington, June 24.-The highest
per capita contributions among cities
of more than 100000 population came
from Cleveland, whose record for the
campaign is not likely to be chal-
ienged. Cleveland's collection so far
makes a per capita donation of 500.
New York city is second with 1854:
Youngstown, Ohio, third, $3.50; Pitts
burgh fourth, $4.4S.
The average contribution per capita
in the cities listed is s2.94. IF the
500, 100000 goal is reached. the
average per capita donation of all
persons in the United States would
be about 81, but by far the greatest
proportion Of the fund is coming from
