"W CAMPAIGN TEAMS
GET $3.50 FIRST DAY
Members Are Greatly Encouraged
by Results at Opening

Encouraged over the receipt of
$3.50 on the first day Of their cam
paign yesterday, team workers of
the y. NJ. G. A, who are canvassing
Washington to raise $4,000 in a week
with which to balance the associa-
tion's budget. met at their second "re-
port" luncheon at the City Club this

the opening day of a "Y" campaign
here. The largest amount reported by
any team was 81 ,O03. turned in by
team No. II, headed by DIR. George T.
Sharp. The campaign will end next
Wednesday.
The work of the employment divi-
sion of the Y. NJ. c. A. was described
by p. NJ. Twyne. who has been giving
his time voluntarily to the work re-
Gently. This is one phase of the as
sociation's activities, he stated, for
which money is needed. Exemplify-
ing the manner in which this money is
used, he explained that a gift of 800
from the Lions Club last year was
used in placing 80 young men in
positions and in helping them main
tain themselves until they were able
to draw their salaries.
The executive committee Of the
drive, which is headed by NJ. o.
Chance, chairman of the campaign,
announced yesterday that, in order to
stimulate rivalry among the different
teams, money secured by the execu-
tive committee would be apportioned
among the different teams which full
filled certain requirements. In this
manner the teams will be able to re-
port larger amounts. All of the
money, of course. will be turned in to
the general fund.

CRITICS IRK ELDRiDGE.
Traffic Director Asks That Federal
Employe Be Reprimanded.

Failure of motorists to fill out cor

their driving permits is causing undue
delay in the issuance of the cards as
Well as unjust criticism of the Traffic
Bureau, Traffic Director M. o. Ed
ridge said today. The most common
practice of the applicants, he ex-
planned, Is their failure to put the
number Of their old permit in the
space provided for that purpose on
the application blank
Mr. Eldridge has received scores of
letters from applicants who have not
received the new permits. although
their applications We're filed two and
three weeks ago. Such criticism is
unjustified, he declared, in view of
the fact that the delay is due entirely
to the applicant
One criticism received today from
an employe Of the Bureau of Stand
ards aroused the ire of Mr.. Eldridge
to such an extent that he wrote to
George K. Burgess, director of the
bureau, asking him to reprimand
that employe. The critic said that he
applied for his permit three weeks
ago. and had not heard from it.
Would it not be a good idea to at
tend to the business you already have
before going to SO much trouble to
ballyhoo up some more?" he wrote.

CHICAGO. November 11.-An at
tack on Hull House as a radical and

Ferre Watkins. commander Of the
Illinois American Legion. has been
Absurd by Miss Jane Addams.
founder of the settlement.
Capt. Watkins. who succeeded 10
the position OF Howard y. Savage,
new national comma nder of tho
Legion, charged in an address yester
day to the Illinois Federation "f
Womens club that "Hull house ia
the rallying point of every radical and
communistic movement in Chicago.
THE leaders of the settlement are
attempting to sell out their country
to some international scheme from
which they vainly hope to realize
great things for themselves" he said.
Denial by Miss Adams.
Miss Adams specifically denied
having made statements which Capt.
Watkins attributed to her when he
said: Jane Adams told in public
meeting how she hoped through infiu-
ence at the White House to strip the
uniforms from our cadets at West
Point, to deprive our colleges of mill
tary training and leave America un-
defended, relying on the good will and
tolerance of the rest of mankind for
immunity"
To this the Hull house leader re-
piled: While | have always been OPP
posed 10 compulsory military train
ing in our schools, l have never In
tended nor desired to interfere with
the Governments program of training
men for service as officers in the de
fense Of the United States"
Capt Watkins said that the Legion
hated war "as no other organization
does" but that 1t demanded willing
ness TO defend the flag" and that ii
was "vowing that the red hand of
Moscow shall be snatched from our
children at least.
I'VE don't fear the acknowledged
radicals. The danger lies in organiza
tions like the Women's international
League for Peace, in the churches. the
schools, the Women's clubs. Your
clubs, the churches and higher schools
are the focal points of the Red at
tack" he declared.

By the Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Mimi, November II.
Commissioners j. F. Gould of the
State game and fish department
was confronted today with the dis
pOSal of 80 skunks.
Warden T. K. Fikken of Ada
wired his chief:
Il confiscated so live skunks in
the township of Shelly. What do
YOU want-me to do with them?"
The SkunkS cannot be shipped
to st. Paul, as confiscated goods
usually are, because the express
company refuses to accept the
animals unless they are deodor-
lied, and the State, Mr. Gould
says, is not interested in deoder-
iZing skunks.
Express company officials estab-
lished the ruling when a single
skunk hide recently shipped to
this city, threatened to disrupt
the service.
