COMMUNITY CHEST
METHODS OUTLINED
John Ih!der Tells Club 1t Is
Best Means of Raising
Funds for Charity.
AGAINST TAG-DAY SYSTEM
Another Form of Street Begging,
Speaker Declares-0pposss En-
tertainment Plan.

Advantages and disadvantages of
the community chest method of
financing the social agencies of city
were explained by John Ihlder to
the members of the Monday Evening
Club at meeting held at the Cosmos
club auditorium last night Arthur
u. Call presided. with John Dolph in
the chair during the discussion.
Tag days" he said. ARE in sense
modern versions of stfeet-beSginS'
and entertainments as ways TO raise
money for social work have been
diScredited in various parts of the
country. The community chest and
financial federation, therefore. nave
become more and more the accepted
means of raising funds
Mir. lhlder said that social work IS
at Il crisis. He traced such work
from the middle ages to the present
time. and said two great problems
faced social " orEers in a great inou
ern city: ITO coordinate the work
of the various social agencies and
to raise efficiently the necessary
money"
Work on the second problem, that
of raising the money, has usually
been initiated by the contributors
themselves, he said. In the past,
agencies have made emotional ap-
need of the poor, rather than the
need of the community for such work.
Day of Community Chest.
Now has come the day of the com
munity chest" when consecutive
steps are taken to raise funds Tor the
various social agencies OF the city. "A
financial federation. MIR. lhlder ex.
planned, is Il federation of local
agencies. whereas a community chest
is Il federation plus raising funds Tor
emergencies plus raising certain
funds for outside relief and emer-
gencies.
Under the chest plan. the speaker
declared. a person is not called on TO
give after he has given what he
should" but is called upon persist
emily until he does give what he
ought to give
The community chest plan, Mr.. Ihlder
said, does two great things: 1t gives
community, and ID reaches out from
the voluntary Sivers to that large
group which must be brought to give.
Warming of the dangers of the com
munity chest method, which may tend
to aristocracy of control, he said, Mr..
1hlder pointed to work already done
in the District of Columbia as nee
cessary preliminary to the adoption
of the chest. The charities indorse-
ment committee is functioning, and
the council of Social Agencies mere
has a plan of work as well thought
out and modern as any city.
The city is now talking of the
financial federation" Mr.. Ihlder con-
tinued. THE amount of money given
in the District to social work is not
as much as could be secured under
the federation or community chest"
Method Lacks Certainty.
Mr.. lhlder said total figures of con-
triDutionS were about $4,000. which
are not comparable to what might be
raised by a community chest. The
community chest, he said, has its
dangers and isn't sure money-get-
ter. or necessarily q success, Forty
seven cities using the plan failed to
got their quotas by $3,o00,Q00. Only
fourteen cities fully realized their

WILL ASK
CONFIDENCE VOTE
Lloyd George to Resign if HI
Cannot Get Unionist
Support.
GENOA TO BE MADE ISSUE
London Papers Call Threat to Qui,
a Bluff That
Failed.


LONDON, March 21.-Prime Minis.
ter Lloyd George is determined Il
ask for a vote of confidence, all tho
morning papers agree. There ara
two stories. however, as to how tho
demand will be made.
The first version, presented by thu
Times. is that Lloyd George is send
lain, through Sir Robert Horne. ask
ing ratification OF the unionisi
leaders recent assurances of support
either by unionist party meeting OF
in the house of commons. The pre-
mier it is said. will be satisfied with
either alternative. but if both are re-
jected his threat to resign will be eN-
pected to he fulfilled.
The Daily Mail. concurring in this
version, says Lloyd Georges inten-
ton seems to be to get a vote of con-
fidence in his mission to the Genoa
conference. and. if he receives it. 10
treat it as confidence in his leadership
of the coalition. The newspaper. how
ever. now believes that his threat
of resignation was only Il bluff, in
tended to drive the independent
unionist out of the official ranks Of
the party. leaving him TO consolidate
what was left of the coalition. This,
1t says. failed and his latest move
is interpreted as further attempt
to split the conservative party.
The other story ignores the report Of
the premier's insistence upon the sup
port of the unionists, and says that
when, he feturns to London next week
he will submit 10 the house Of COM
mons a motion in favor of the Genoa
conference. and in his speech support
ing the motion, set forth the govern
ment'S conference policy. The vote
upon the motion. according TO this
version, will not necessarily ba
deemed a vote of confidence. but
strengthening Of the premier's posi-
ton as the British representative at
Genoa.
Those who represent Lloyd George
as intending to ask for a vote either
from the house of commons or the
unionist party say that such a vote
certainly cannot be obtained from
the party and that the unionist lead
ers have been placed in an awkward
position by the premicr's alleged de-
mand.

VOTE IN CONGRESS
/. FOR D. c. PROPOSED
Right of Residents Here to
Cast Ballot for President
Also Urged.
IN NEW ELECTION BILL
Constitutional Amendment Advo-
Gated Gives President Six
Year Term.
IN NEW ELECTION BILL

Voting representation for the Dis
trict of Columbia in Congress and the
right of residents of the District to
vote for President are proposed in
new general election law designed
as constitutional amendment by
Representative Will r. Wood of In
diana, republican, in a joint resolu-
ton introduced late yesterday.
The proposed constitutional amend
ment provides for the election of
President and Vice President for six
year terms. The electoral college sys-
tenn would be abolished and the cam
didate receiving the largest aggregate
vote would be President, with the
candidate receiving the next highest
number automatically becoming Vice
President. The President would be
ineligible for reelection.
First Election in 1925
The first election under this system
suggested by Representative Wood
would be on the first Tuesday in Oc-
tober, 1925, and the candidate elected
would assume office one month later.
The resolution also proposes four
year tens for representatives. the
senatorial term remaining at SIX
years.
Representative Wood said today
that he intends to press this resolu-
ing for hearings before the House
judiciary committee.
while l have always had very
serious doubts regarding the propri-
ETY. of allowing the District of Column
bia to have local municipal cleo
commenting upon that section of his
resolution which would give the Dis
trict voting representation in both
houses of Congress, II am irrevocably
convinced that the people living in
the National Capital should have
voice in the making and execution of
the laws.
1T is paradoXical that more than
100000 persons living in the nations
capital should have no representation
in the law-making body which has
exclusive jurisdiction over their 10
cal affairs, or that they should not
have a vote for the chief executive
tend to use my utmost endeavors to
get justice done the people of the
capital, who have for SO long been
kept out Of what should be their
rights as citizens"
His bill provides that "at least one
representative from the District shall
be chosen at the biennial elections"
He lays stress on the fact that for
many years "all citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia. including more
than 100000 educated, trained gov
eminent employees. peculiarly quail
fled by Information and experience
to vote most intelligently," have been
disenfranchised
Representative Wood points out
that 1.-The provision governing the ap-
pointment of representatives is es-
sential to extend full representation
to the District of Columbia and most
desirable from the widely recognized
Importance Of the Limitation Of the
House membership to constitute a
practical working body" He calls
attention to the fact that it will be
eight years before another apportion-
ment under the decennial census, and
that this makes it a propitious time
for this desirable reform.

the ground sloth and the glyptodon,
a camel shaped beast with the snout
OF a tapir, and a heavy-bodied river
animal, which resembled the hippo
potamus. having hoofs. huge teeth
and the skull Of a horse.
The prehistoric South American and
North American animal life Is dis
similar because the continents were
long separate. When a connection
arose some of the .animals crossed
over, the ground sloth into the north

the southern continent, scientists say.
The first ground sloth found In North

HIGHEST COURT UPHOLDS
new YORK RENT LAW
Called Necessary to Rectify Men
ace to Health, Morality and
Peace of State.

The United States Supreme Court
yesterday held valid the New York
state rent law of 1920 on the ground
that the legislation was a resort to
the police power of the state, in an
emergency, for the public welfare.
The decision was read by Mr.. Justice
Clarke, with dissent by Justices Nc
Kenna, Van Devanter and McRey-
nolds.
THE warrant for this legislation,
resort to the police power" said JUS
tice Clarke, was the conviction on
the part of the state legislators that
there existed in the larger cities of
the state social emergency. caused
by an insufficient supply of dwelling
houses and apartments. so grave that
it constituted a serious menace to the
health. morality, comfort and even to
the peace of large part of the peo-
pie of the state.
Given a constitutional substantive
statute. enacted to give effect to a
constitutional purpose, these states
have a wide discretion as to the rem
edies which may be deemed necessary
to achieve such a result. and it is
very clear that that discretion has not
been exceeded in this instance by the
state of New York"

NEW YORK. March 21.-Six-
year-old Emma Bauer was all
dressed up as gypsy to "s'prise
grandpa" when he came home
from work last night.
AS she heard his footsteps in
the hall, she scrambled under the
dining room table, while Daddy,
Grandma and Uncle Richard sat
watching for the nightly game to
be enacted.
Where's my little sweetheart"
inquired Grandpa Ernest Fuchs, as
he entered the dining room.
you'll have to find her." smiled
Grandma Fuchs.
A giggle gave Grandpa the clue
and he started toward the table,
but drew back in mock alarm as
the gypsy" emerged.
To make the play more exciting.
he seized a pistol from the side
board drawer and pointed it at
Emma. There was an explosion
and she fell with a bullet through
her heart.
Ambulance surgeons found the
old man sitting in a daze. with
the limp form of the little gypsy"
in his arms. She had died in
stantly, they said.
Police exonerated the broken
hearted grandfather, but arrested
Uncle Richard Fuchs on charge of
possessing the pistol without
license.
