REACHES %4,0O0
Los Angeles Man Says His
Church Followed Plan
Used Here.

John E Biby Of Los Angeles told
the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church
campaign workers at the University
Club yesterday that the Chevy Chase
campaign plans are being followed
out by his church in the heart Of the
wealthiest district of Los Angeles. at
Sd and Western avenues.
I'VE are now on the firing line OF
campaign in Los Angeles" he said.
II am glad that we have followed
your plan Of raising money for Gods
cause in almost every detail. We have
had the same experiences that you
have had. l want to sound a note
of warning that we have too humble
a spirit In approaching men in this
cause. In politics 1 found raising
money difficult and I had the same
feeling at the outset OF our church
campaigning. But. after getting well
into the church campaigning. 1 have
found enjoyment in 1t and I am proud
Of my experiences. Our congregation
Of 200 people contributed an average
of $500 each. Then we extended the
campaign out for a radius of 200 miles
and we went into downtown Los
Angeles for money from the business
men there"
First Approached Give $500.
He told of the first men he approach
ed downtown giving $500 each. al
though they were not directly inter-
ested in his particular church or the
particular section OF the city in which
it was located. pick out the man you
know to have money to contribute
and you will find he is interested in
having his money do good in the
world. whether he is Protestant. Jew
or Gentle" he added.
So far the campaign chest OF the
Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church
has total OF approximately $4,000.
The goal is $685. 900. Checks are begin
ming to come In from downtown busi-
ness men who do business with Chevy
Chase. The downtown campaign is on
in earnest and yesterdays contribu-
tions included in this total were $1,7so.
Contributions of real estate lots are
being sought, with a view to auction
ing them Off and the proceeds going
toward swelling the church fund. Al
ready one lot valued at $500 has been
donated. The campaigners want more
desirable anywhere. provided there
are no mortgage strings tied to them,
nor tax burdens appertaining thereto.
Letters Seat Out in Appeal.
One thousand letters are being sent
out in an appeal to the business men
of downtown Washington to respond
to the call for $4,000 as downtown
Washington's quota Of the $125.0e0
needed for the church. The support
that Chevy Chase gives to downtown
business is one OF tho arguments be-
ing made by the campaign workers.
All checks should be mailed to R.
n. Simpson. treasurer. 402 National
Metropolitan Bank building.
There will be a conference of the
campaign workers at the University
club at 1880 o'clock next Wednes-
day: when those in charge of the
project hope to have the downtown
field cleared As far as possible.

DY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Business interests throughout the
country are particularly interested in
the proposed esta ablishment, of.a de-
partment of maritime affairs Cor
transportation) to replace the exist
ing Department of Commerce, as out
lined in a scheme of reorganization
for the administrative branch .of the
federal government recommended to
the joint congressional committee on
reorganization by the Institute dor Gov
ernment Research.
Among the clearly distinguish
able major functions of the, national
government is that of the protection
and promotion of the interests of the
country in maritime transportation.
The enactment of laws for the reGu-
lighthouses, Suoys and other aids to
navigation. the survey and charting
of our coasts. etc. date almost from
the organization of the government
itself. AS coastwise and foreign
trade has increased these services
have been enlarged and new ones
have been created. until now there is
sea rcely an aspect of marine trans
portation that is not brought under
the fostering or regulating control
of the government in some way. The
latest step in this direction was the
enactment. in 1916, of the shipping
act. providing for the creation of the
United States Shipping Board and the
entrance of the government into the
field of government construction. own
srship and operation of marine ship
ping.
Eleven Services Function.
There are at the present time no
less than eleven services whose pri-
may. and in most cases exclusive
function is to minister to the needs
of marine transportation. These are:
Th. coast and geodetic survey in the
Department of Commerce.: the lakes
survey in tie War Department.: the
photographic office in the Navy De-
partment-all of which make marine
surveys. prepare sailing charts. pilot
instructions, etc, for navigatorS; the
bureau of lighthouses in the Depart
ment Of Commerce. which maintains
lighthouses. bouys and other aids to
navigation; the coast guard service in
the Treasury Department.. which en-
braces in fact two distinct services,
one for patrolling the coast and go
ing to the aid of vessels in distress.
of life-saving stations for the pur-
pose of assisting wrecked vessels; the
bureau of navigation and the steam
boat inspection service in the
Department of Commerce for the
administration of the laws in re-
spect to the licensing OF officers. ship
ment OF seamen. inspection of hulls.
boilers. etc: the United States Ship
ping Board. an Independent establish
ment. and it's subordinate agency,
the Emergency Fleet Corporation. the
first for the purpose of regulating
rates and conditions of service of ves-
sells engaged in interstate and foreign
commerce, and the latter for the con-
struction and operation of vessels.
and the radio service of the Navy De-
partment for the purpose primarily of
maintaining communication with ves-
sells at sea, though use is made of it's

A1r. Elliott arranged for Barren to send
money order and steamship tickets

last February that Mr.. Elliott received
from the consular officer at Warsaw
acknowledgment of the receipt of the

he had notified Baren's brother and

were able to secure passports from the

them in leaving Poland for the United

Barren, on their arrival, will have to

surance that they will not become

Ward chairmen freely stated that
there was no difficulty in getting
people to put their names on the pc
