CHARITIES FUND
IS SHORT OF GOAL
Fears Expressed That Easter
Campaign Will Not Achieve
Complete Success.

A note of anxiety was sounded by
Chairman Perkins and those associated
with him in charge of the Easter
Campaign of the Associated Charities
in a statement issued today. As an
evidence that the response of the pup
lie is much slower than at the same
period of last years campaign. 1t
was reported that the number of

S.218. OF 400 less than the total
reached at the same time last year.
LESS than week remains To

''and the problem of raising the bal
snce of our budget of $4,000 becomes
acute.

Inward of $24. 900 is still needed to
carry through this service of family
care and rehabilitation for the City
of Washington, the larger share of
which general and non-sectarian work
has to be borne by these two organiZa-
lions. the Associated Charities and the
Citizens Relief Association. They can
not refuse assistance where 1t IS
needed, but they do seek in every
possible way TO reduce the expenses

For 80 years the Associated Chari-

crime. In many instances the
police officials have been able to
run down and bring to punish
ment the perpetrators of such
lawless deeds. In many other
instances the criminals have
eluded apprehension and gone
unwhipped by justice. AS the
Evening Journal says: 1--WE have
here in Delaware all the prime
factors which make for lawful
and orderly living. And yet,
every little while some man or
some woman throws all that to
the wind, breaks through the
barriers of restraint, and does
something of an outrageous ma
ture which bring our happy and
prosperous little commonwealth
into disrepute. The one consol-
ing feature in the situation is
that when such persons are
caught and convicted, we have
courts which do not hesitate to
tell the rest of United States
that if Delaware cannot be 100
per cent. law abiding it can ap-
proximate that percentage when
it comes to furnishing those who
seem to delight in giving their
home State into highly undesir-

President Coolidge signed last
week the new revenue measure,
and it is now a law. The ad-
ministration is fairly well salts
fled with it, and Secretary Mel
Ion has expressed approval. The
total estimated reductions will |
be about $387,811,OOO, a sub
stantial relief for the taxpayers.
And it extends all down the line,
all the taxables feeling the cas-
ing up.
A large number of persons
from now on will have to pay no |
Federal tax at all, the eXemp-
tions having been raised. Some
persons, including Chairman
Green, of the House Committee,
have declared that the reduc-
tions went too far, and that the
treasury will probably suffer
from a deficit due to insufficient
revenue. A chance is being TAX
en- on this.
One way to obviate a deficit
would be to cut down the appro-
priations of Congress. 1t should
not be difficult to do this. The
expenses should be kept within
the revenue. Then, again, if the
revenue should fall short less
could be paid on the national
debt. The taxes having once
been lowered it would cause re-
sentiment if they were lifted
again.
Among the important changes
is that there will be no tax on in
come less than $500 in the case
of married men, and if he has
two dependent children, for ex-
ample, he is exempt up to $4,000.
During the last year of the war
an income of $4,000 was taxed
$50. This comparison shows
the improvement.
Changes have been made ir
the taxes on inheritances, but
they are not generally satisfac
tory. 1t is urged that such tax
es should be left to the states
The tax on inheritance has, how
ever, been reduced. A Fedora
tax on estates should, we think
restrain commonwealths fror
levying similar taxes. If tn
Federal estate tax were entirel
removed some states would 500
impose an inheritance tax prot
ably larger than that of the Fec
eral government.
The reduction of the surta
from 40 to 20 per cent vindica
es Secretary Mellon. 1t shou
let loose vast sums for produ
tive enterprise.

concluded that the time betwec

The Tigers sad moment came in
the third round when after punching
Huffman severely he went down un-
der sledge hammer right to the
jaw. The Georgia boy took the
count of seven and came up groggy.
Huffman, in a bad way himself from
a barage of blows which had landed
on his face and stomach, tried TO
finish off the job he had started but
failed from lack of strength and
over-eagerness.
The fight from then on to the bell
in the tenth was a story Of lost OPP
portunity so far as the sailor was
concerned. The Deacon from the
south slapped, swung and punched
the rugged sailor all around the ring.
Huffman, to the disappointment Of
his hackers, abandoned his old time
boring-in tactics and elected to stcnd
off and box or wait chance to
land another furnishing right. He
couldn't box the Tiger and the op-
portunity to land never came. Ring
siders gave Flowers six or seven Of

with clean single to right. Gomez
tried to pick him off at first and
threw wide to- Chase, Meanor going to
second. Gomez followed this by walk
ing Kortunl, his only gift during the
game. Both runners then advanced to
second and third, respectively, on a
passed ball. That was as fas as they
got, however. johnson and Gandil be
ing unable ito deliver the punch nee
essary to bring them home.
From the fourth inning to the ninth
the visistors went out in order, just
three men facing Gomez in the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth. After two
were down in the ninth, Clary singled
to left field. Kortum followed with
"a aasingle, sending Clary to third. The
threatened rally was nipped in the
bud when Johnson sent pop fly to

to double Lindsay at first, Bunny
scampered tq third. Chase then
squeezed Lindsay across the plate by
laying down a pretty sacrifice.
Weaver played his usual good game
at short and indulged in his usual
afternoon pastime of cutting off base
hits. Lindsay, as has previously been
statde, was the batting hero, getting
three Of the, five hits allotted to Doug
runs of the game. Chase saved his
team mates "a couple of errors by
spearing some wide throws at first.
While Hal went hitless, it was his
batting that drove in both the Douglas
runs.
Pereya made some nice running
catches in left field as did Storey in
center. Collins in right handled the
only one that came his way in fine
fashion. Herbstreith at the hot cor
ner was in the game every minute,

ing after fouls, handling the only
three chances which came his way.
Chester, the Blues classy receiver,
handed grief and disappointment to
skiles, who tried to pilfer second in

attempted such liberties.

hurler with the burning speed and
the splendid assortment of deceptive
curves, will be on the mound for the

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July
24-"Gene Tuney had better get

statement given out by his opponent

effect the champions nerves, de-
veloped recently, would prove his
Waterloo. Resting in his suit at the
Broadmoor hotel, with Estelle Taylor,
his attractive screen star wife in a
chair by his side, Dempsey chuckled
at the idea of nerves and said:
/, Say, have acted like crouch out
here? Believe me, 1 feel like kid,
and that s wonderful"
The heavyweight monarch sank
back in an arm chair and added: Il
never hold an opponent cheap1y and
for that reason 1 have trained faith

into the ring with any man living.
within three weeks, and be ready
for the fight of my life. All
need say is that Tunney had better
get ready. I am all set"
Dempsey paid Tunney tribute by
saying hes a splendid fighter, and
don't get the idea that I under-rate
him" He then went ahead to ex
plain that although he has been out
of the ring for three years, he has

to see that L have the same power

Dempsey asked "I never smoke or
drink, believe in keeping fit the
year around in one way and another
and never have much trouble with
my health. I am sleeping like n
