STREET DISCUSSES
CHEST PUBLICITY
Necessity of Telling Public
How Funds Are Spent
Is Explained.

The necessity of keeping the con-
tributing public informed on all phases
of the work being carried on by the 81
agencies affiliated with the Community
Chest was emphasized by Elwood Street,
director of the chest, and G. Melvin
Sharpe, chairman of the chest pub
licity committee, at meeting of officers
of the chest and representatives of the
various agencies yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Sharpe pointed out that the gen.
eral public, through its subscriptions in
the recent campaign. made the work
possible and was therefore entitled to
know all the facts about the agencies.
Few of you, presume, are aware of
the actual value, in dollars and cents,
Of newspaper space" Mr.. Sharpe con-
tinued. you can gain some idea of
its value when tell you that the news
papers, during the recent campaign,
gave us. without cost, thousands and
thousands of dollars worth of space.
"They gave it because they wanted
to help cause that investigation
showed them was fundamentally sound
and worthy We must repay that trust
by being absolutely frank and open with
the public and with the newspapers in
any matter regarding our work. They
are entitled to that knowledge.
There are still hundreds Of people
who do not realize the full meaning
of the chest and its work Through
telling the public of the work of our
agencies we must educate that portion
of the public. Truth, carefully stated,
is the best medium through which we
can operate, because the public is fast
to learn of any Misrepresentation
made"
Mr.. Street made short talk out
lining various methods of keeping the
organizations before the public in other
cities.
Mr.. Sharpe was empowered to ap-
point an executive committee to take
up these questions in detail and inform
the agencies.

Plausible Reason for Truce.


This fact may explain why the King
asked Primo to remain in power, even
after his cabinet officially had resigned.
1t is very plausible reason for con-
tinued political truce for some weeks
yet, providing extremists do not touch
off violent clash in one part of Spain
or another, which gets out of control.
PROFESSIONALLY, the King and Primo de
Rivera and those leaders who most sin
cerely hate the dictatorship are unani-
nous in hoping that there will be no
new rebellion in Spain, at least until
after the Seville and Barcelona EXPOSE
tons have run their course to the up.
stinted credit-not of any single politi-
cal faction nor to the sole renoWn of
the present regime-but to the universal
credit of the Spanish people as a whole.
This nationwide desire to have the
Seville and Barcelona expositions a tre-
mendOus demonstration of SPANS vast
progress in the present century may
permit Primo to bridge safely the next
few months. 1t will by no means indi-
cate further extension of approval of
the dictatorship. And even during this
period of the next three months the
dictator's tenure is uncertain. Beyond
that period it will be infinitely more so.
Few people here believe that Spain will
tolerate even slightly modified form
of Fascism for any length of time.

doing an unspeakably brutal thing
to have curbed 1t. But 1t wasn't
and in this case she was doing
an equally cruel thing to the
boy by constantly depreciatlng
him in his own eyes. For In
spite OF Tommie's boasts and
headlong rushes into things which
were beyond him, he WASN'T
sure of himself at all. He was
fearfully shy, and fearfully over
powered by his sense of inferior
ity, which was constantly harped
on by his mother. He boosted and
dared tremendous tasks because
he was always having to prove
to himself that he wasn't afraid,
that he could really do them.
And he never acquired the poise
and peace that comes with q
confidence in SELF. He merely
erected a smoke screen of bragga-
docio to hide his weakness.

signs instead of probing to find
the real motive for deeds, both

ripples at left side OF bodice, in

This fascinating combination
that offers such marvellous
change to vivid colours, makes
its wearer appear decidedly
individual.
1t is a dress too that can be
worn all through the fall, this
making it an economical choice.
The bodice is slightly bloused in
all-around styling that emphasizes
the flat hips achieved through
wide girdle that Is fitted with
darts at right side that Is cut
quite deep. 1t assumes a sharp
diagonal line both front and back
with. ends shirred and caught at

The skirt shows interesting full
