100000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
izationS to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation Of effort In the
history of American relief and charita-
BILE organizations has grown out Of the
disaster which threatens 100000
European children this winter. To the
headquarters Of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track Of war, will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When Dr. Livingston Farrand, chair
man of the Central Committee Of the
American Red Cross, returned from a
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
with the need of the children. From
the feeding-stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas Of every sort. The Pro-
testant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
of starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life of Europe Is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council. with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power of American charitable
thought and effort behind it, has been
formed. 1t consists Of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR.. Livingston Far
rand, representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee; Wilbur X. Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee; James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights of Columbus; DR.. C.
V. Hubbard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association; Miss
Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association; DR..
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council Of Churches.
Ii Is the purpose OIL lne COUNCIL TO
raise $33,000,000, in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met. In every town and
community Of the nation, 1t is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
cooperating agencies will be formed
to secure the vitality necessary funds.
OF the amount sought, $29,000,00O will
be used for basic food. For every one
of these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, in the form
of transportation, labor, guards, cleri-
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable
No children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining $10,0O0,000 Of the fund is
just as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies in
the raising Of the childsaving fuad
1t will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencies. keep a constant
eye on the administration of Americas
merciful gift, in order that there shall
be no wastage and nc tendency toward
pauperization.

Even though property owners vote favorably on paving contracts. city officials are not entirely satisfied with paving costs. Mayor, Willis H.

 Property owners from Ninth ave nue appeared before the commiS- sion. stating that they were anxious to have that street paved from Grand avenue to Roosevelt street as soon as possible. and requesting that the proposed "ballot' cards be elimin- ated in this instance. as many of the owners are out of town at the pres ent time.

 The hearing lasted several hours during which time the delegation pointed out that an emergency existed and there were reasons in numerable for asking for an increase. They cited the fact that deficit Of S50.0o0 was carried over from the last administration and that they wished to pay off the deficit and needed ernment and maSs necessary inn provements.

TUCSON CANNOT
 RAISE TAX LEVY

Underfthe law Tucson cannot raise its tax levy. according to the state tax commission. Representatives of the finance committee of the city council of Tucson and City Auditor Fritchie appeared before the commits sion asking for relief which had to be denied under the statutes. according to Charles R. Howe. chairman of the commission.
 Under the provisions of House Bill 90 which was passed at the last ses- sion of the legislature before any county or municipality can increase its tax levy more tnan the 10 per cent allowed by law they must take the matter up with the tax commits sion which has the right to decide whether an emergency exists.
 In view of the fact that the city charter of Tucson provides that the

justments, and for other reasons did not satisfy us. Second-We had many tires in sizes not used on new cars, which we wished to sell Third, we desired to introduce more widely the new line of Federal tires and tubes. We have just been appointed district distributors for this famous line and have set goal of at least one Federal on every Car in Maricopa county. The prices below show the sacrifice of profits we are taking at the heighth of the season to accomplish this.
 We also feel that if there ever was time to give real bargains-it is now-when everybody must make every dollar count. If you need a tire now, and no doubt you do, come in and enjoy the savings we can offer, either in Federals- fresh out of the carload just received from the factory, or the many other standard makes we handle.
