LEADERS CONFER
Session Today Held to Plan
Big National Welfare
Meeting in February.

Outstanding business men from vari-
Gus sections of the country met here
today to plan for a twoday conference
in the Capital in February when "com-
munity responsibility particu-
lar reference to the community chest
plan of financing welfare work-will
be taken up. Thirty men were in
vited to the conference today, which
was held here for one reason--to per-
nit the attendance of Secretary of
Commerce Hoover. The American
Association of Community Chests and
Councils is cooperating in this pre-
liminary meeting, and will join in the
February conference.
Another meeting on the community
chest question will be held tonight by
a local group-the Washington Coun-
ell of Social Agencies, which will
gather at the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States at o'clock to
hear speakers, among them officials of
the American Association of Commun-
ity Chests and Councils
Meeting Is Postponed.
Owing to the inability of Secretary
Of Commerce Hoover to attend this
morning, the meeting of the commit
tee of business men, originally sched-
uled for 10 o'clock in the Mayfiower
Hotel, was postponed until 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Secretary Hoover is
vice chairman of the committee. Will
liam Cooper Proctor of Cincinnati Is
chairman.
While it was largely because of the
convenience to Secretary Hoover that
the committee is assembled in Wash
ington today, and will have it's big ma

G. NJ. Bookman, president of the AS
ISOLATION of Community Chests and
Councils, said the opportunity for Ma
tion-wide publicity afforded by meet
ing in Washington was another factor.
Preliminary Session Held.
When the main committee meeting
was postponed early today is was de.
cided to hold a preliminary program
conference. Those at the preliminary
meeting were: Henry G. Stephens of
Detroit, Roland Haynes, secretary of
the University of Chicago; Allen r.
Burns, secretary of the Association of
Community Chests and Councils;
Sherman G. Kingsley, secretary of the
Philadelphia Community Chest; w. ].
Norton, director, Detroit Community
Chest and Mr.. Bookman.
Over $65, 900, 900 has been raised by
chests and councils in about 800 cities
of the United States during the past
year, MIR. Bookman pointed out today
Many of the cities have incomes from
other sources. he added, so that the
expenditures through the chests and
councils reached nearly $150,000, 900.
Because the fate of the community
chests in so many cities will be de-
termined by the course taken by their
councils, the coming conference will
be the biggest and most important
welfarem Getting ever held, Mr.. Book
man claims.

VALUE OF DOLLAR
NOW STABILIZED
DOLLAR NOW WORTH ABOUT 60
CENTS AS COMPARED
WITH 1914

The purchasing value of the dollar,
as measured by living costs for the
wage Garner or other people of mod
crate means, has fluctuated little
more than 5 per cent, or only about a
nickle in the case of a dollar pur-
chase, during. the past five years.
The dollar now is worth on the ba-
sis of living costs, just about Soc
as compared with the pre-war 1914
dollar, and having fluctuated less
than five cents either way from this
value since 1921 may be considered
as having become stabilized at this
level. as contrasted with the severe
fluctuations of the first few years af-
ter the war.
Average living costs as computed
during the year 1926 were slightly,
1.8 per cent, lower than in 1925, but
in January of this year were still sc
per cent higher than in 1914, just
before the war. Average weekly
wage earnings at the beginning of
the current year, however, were 116
per cent higher than, or more than
double of what they had been in 191 q,
leaving the wage Garner % per cent
better off than he had been before the
war as regards the purchasing power
of his weekly pay.

BEST BUSINESS FOR

LAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
BANNER DAYS FOR ALL
MERCHANTS

interviewing most of the heads OF
the many business institutions in the
city Monday, we learn that business
has been exceedingly good, the vol
ume Friday and Saturday exceeding
any period in several years according
to their statements. Thousands OF
people were on the streets of Fitzger-
aid Saturday during the entire day
until late in the evening and some OF
the stores had the appearance OF
Christmas shopping days.
The pessimist had to hunt his hole,
no room for him in busy mart, such
as Fitzgerald proved itself Friday and
Saturday. People from quite a dis
tance were seen buying their spring
apparel in the several stores making
it a speciality to keep abreast OF the
times with style and the additional
inducement of reasonable prices for
first class merchandise.

a great deal to do with the increased
trade and the use of printers ink will
