More than $500 pounds of old papers
were contributed to the fund for play
grounds and other social activities Of
the public schools of the District of
Columbia, by the schools from which
collections were made yesterday. This
was the closing collection for the
week.
Active work to increase the amounts
of paper brought in by the boys and
girls probably will be begun the early
part of next week. Many of the schools
have done work which has been con-
sidered most excellent, but it is be-
lieved that in a number of the schools
the interest could be increased. To this
end plans are being considered by those
in charge of the collections.
Payments for the papers collected this
week will make the total amount OF
money raised. since the campaign be
gan, more than $2,500. This sum Will
prove useful to the schools in many
ways, it is explained by those in charge.
but, of course, it is desired that the
highest possible amount may be OBJ
tanned.
Since the campaign was started,
through the suggestion made by The
Star, several other cities have under
taken similar campaigns. A large
amount Of paper stock has been con-
served in this manner. and at the same
time no inconsiderable amounts of
money have been raised.

UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION

Germany's Troubles Are Aired in
Discussion in Berlin Municipal
Council.

LONDON. January Ga discussion
of the food problem In the Berlin mu-
nicipal council is described in a dis
patch to Reuters from Berlin by way
OF Amsterdam. At the end of the dis
cussion two resolutions were adopted,
the first. introduced by the socialists.
demanding uniform distribution of food
in the towns and in the country and
the adoption of steps to prevent pro-
ducers from Withholding supplies in or
der to increase their profits. The Sec
ond resolution was offered by the lib
erals. and condemned the existing re-
strfctions on the buying Of supplies by
towns.
Herr Wuerm, a socialist, attacked
Adolph Won Batocki. president of the
food regulation board, whose latest cir
cular he described as complete con-
fessfon Of the impotence of the state
before the farmer. He added that
appeal to the producers had been use
less.
Burgomaster Wermuth spoke pessi-
mistically of Berlin's supplies and said
that the omcial distribution officers had
failed TO regulate satisfa ctorily the
disbursement of butter and milk. He
said that supplies continually decline
and had become aIarmingly low, and
that the potato situation would be un-
satisfactory until February Is. wors,

PREVENTION OF WASTE
SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
S. J. Henry Tells Housekeepers' Al
lance Scientific Business Meth
DDS Should Govern in Homes.

Scientific American business methods
should be applied to the management
of homes, to help prevent the great
waste in American families. S. J. Henry,
manager of the Munsey Trust Com
pany, told the Housekeepers' Alliance
at a meeting held yesterday afternoon
at the Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason
House.
Assuming that the average income of
the $4,000, 900 families in the United
States is $500, he said. the aggregate
income would be $4,000. 900. 900, or al
most eight times the total national
debt. Housewives. he said, spend a
large part of this income. A lack of
knowledge of economic methods, he
continued. meant an average waste per
family of $40 per annum. or s750,0o0.-
900 annually.
The next issue of government bonds
should be of small denomination. SO that
housekeepers would be induced to buy
them, Mrs. Flora Mcdonald Thompson,
president of the alliance. advocated.
Mr. Henry agreed with this proposition,
from the bankers point of view Of
household economy.

leaders interested in the formation of
the new Polish kingdom. according to
advices from Warsaw. are looking for
ward anxiously to the time for the

taking root slowly among the Poles.
but. IL is believed. the reports say. that
once the tangible concept of a crowned
monarch is placed before them by the
ceremonials of state incident to the
entry OF the king into Warsaw and to
his crowning. the people will realize
more vividly their national existence
under a new form.
Pending the settlement of the new
order, no progress has been made In
recruiting a Polish army.
The delays and difficulties in the for
nation Of the new kingdom have. cast
decided damper on the enthusiasm

Rachmaninoff. when. after touching high
contraltos are quite as scarce as great
tenors, and when one is heard possessing
mellow "cello-like low notes as well as
the ability to soar to heights to be en-

indeed. Such was Miss Roberts voice
