ASKSF0R $4,000
Chapter Announces Sum Ab-
soIuteIy Needed for the
Coming Year.
DANGER OF DEFICIT SEEN
Chairman of Roll Call Urges Con-
tributions Be Made Before

The sum Of $45,000 is absolutely
| necessary If tho District of Columbia

ing year. anu in order to realize this
amount a personal appeal to the busi-
! ness firms Of Washington as we'll as
its citizens is to be made.
Chairman John H. Clapp Of the
roll call announced today there was
grave danger of a deficit in the
quota, probably amounting to $25,000.
unless contributions came in at a
faster rate than up to date. OF the
$4,000 eeded to be raised by No
vember 80, when the roll call ends.
only a little more than $4,000 has
been subscribed. At that rate only
about $4,000 will be realized at the
end Of the roll call. leaving the chap
needed to carry it on for another
year. Should this happen not only
would many Of the activities of the
chapter have to be curtailed, but
there would be no emergency fund
on hand for disaster work.

alton of two army transports now be-
ing employed in the return of the

the American forces from the Rhine
territory as early as possible, Mr..
Weeks said. 1t was indicated that
the status of army legislation in con.
gress in no way influenced the depart.
ment's decision and also that the con-
troversy over payment by Germany
for the maintenance of the Rhineland
troops was not involved.

The Potomac was less than day

fire under No. hatch which adjoins
the fire room. He notified Captain

bottom of the hatch, terror stricken
firemen and coal passers made rush
for the deck. They swarmed up the
hatchway and fought each other in
their terror and haste to reach the life

officers charged the terrified firemen,
firing over their heads. With threats
and blows they drove them back down
to their posts of duty.
Orders came from the captain that
no passenger should leave his cabin.
This spread terror among those who
were aware of the trouble.
Hour after hour pumps forced water
into the hold. The flames were only
slightly abated. Finally Captain Mac.
Leod resorted to maneuver practiced

PLAINS 1910 PLAN
Speaks to an Interested Aud.
fence at High School on
Tuesday Night

Mr.. Marsh, editor Of the Wash
ington Educational journal, talk
ed to an appreciative audience on
Tuesday night at the Vashon
High school on the proposed in
itiative measure known as the
30-l0 plan. Due to the Unequal
tiles in financial ability of the
250O school districts of the state
it is proposed to raise a larger
proportion Of school funds by
state tax and reduce the amount
to be levied by the districts. In
support of this Mr.. Marsh quoted
from the state constitution as fol-
lows: ct is the paramount duty
of the state to make ample pro-
vision for the education Of all
children residing within its bor-
ders."
Mr.. Marsh showed the varia-
ton in King county in cost per
child to be from $50 to $2S9 in
different districts. Variation in
tax levies in King county vary
from S mills to 33 mills, and the
variation per pupil varies from
$500 to $4,000.
Following is a comparison of
Vashon with the state and county
Average cost per pupil in the
state, $l04; King county, SIG
Vashon, 500. Valuation per pupil
in state, $5l06; King county,
$4991; Vashon 5000. Local levy
of state, II mills; Vashon IS mills
Under the 1910 plan Vashon
would pay into the state 1871
and would receive back $9923 per
year. The 3O-10 plan would
prove Of greater benefit to all
poor districts.
