tant example Of helpful cooperation
from the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
"A study of the possible sources OF
water supply and their probable best
utilization has naturally been an esser-
tial element in the preparation of the
regional plan. A similar study of the
problem of sewage disposal has been
undertaken with the help and co-opera-
ton of the local authorities concerned.
Progress made in coming must be aScer-
tanned and kept up-to-date.
"As rapidly as these varied studies
are completed the results can be fitted
into their proper places in the regional
plan. Such a plan cannot at any time
be made final and complete, any more
than single unit can be patterned to
permanently clothe a growing child.
AS long as our country and our region
continue to grow and develop this plan
must be revised and altered to accord
with the changing conditions. It must
be kept up-to-date at all times, and 1t
must be developed and improved here
and there as occasion arises or expert

For the perfection of the plan as
here laid before you, and for the work
of keeping it up-to-date and further
fitting it to the needs and best interests
of the entire region, the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission begs
your sympathetic understanding, your
criticism and advice, your collaboration
and help, so that we may all have a
hand in constructing the edif1ce, in
finding what is Americas highest at

What Community Chest Means to Us
One of Series of Articles the Practical Results of
Cooperative Charity.
BY r. ". THOMSON.

Secretary the Boys Club of washington.
I expect that every one who has to
direct the activities of social work or
ganizations in Washington Is more than
happy in the success of the Community
Chest We at the Boys Club are ex-
ceedingly grateful to the thousands OF
contributors who made the Chest the
success it is.
The work at the Boys Club this
year is more constructive and compre-
hensive than ever before, and this is
largely due to the fact that those di-
recting the activities are relieved of
the financial burden and consequent
worry. The board of trustees also feels
this relief and can now discuss and
plan the work instead of spending most
of their time planning to finance the
work.
There is also a greater interest being
shown in our club by the public. Ger
tainly we are having more visitors.
The newspapers have always been
generous to us in the matter Of pub
licity, but 1 think the Chest has taught
us to tell our stories better, as we have
had more publicity than formerly.
A successful Community Chest means
, a successful Boys Club. Our work will
become more widespread and our &C
tivities will be made available to hun
Clreds of boys as yet unreached

THE railroads Of the region consti-
tute an important element in the eco
nomic life of the community, one which
the city planner of today finds already
firmly established and therefore intro
ducing an element of rigidity into the
scheme of things with which he Is con-
cerned. Yet the possible need for addi-
tional development and increased rail-
road facilities must be considered and a
full knowledge of their operating condi-
tons is necessary for any adequate So
luton of such an intricate problem as
that of locating q farmers market.
"One of the immediate problems raised
by the increased road traff1c is the elm

GEOGRAPHIC HEARS.
CAPT. BARTLETT
Veteran Arctic Navigator
Tells CoIorfuI Experiences
to Society.

Capt. Robert A. Bartlett. veteran
Arctic navigator, once companion of
Peary on his dash to the Pole, lifetime
whaler. Sealer, explorer and rescuer of
expeditions from Wrangell Island around
to Greenland's icebergs, last night told
the National Geographic Society about
his homeland, Newfoundland, and its
picturesque industries, people and
scenic wonders.
Capt. Bob" as he is Familiarity
known where explorers get together
started with the catching of the tiny
capelin, the "sardines of the North
Atlantic; showed the rigors of cod
fishing, visited the Eskimos of Labra-
dor and then explained motion pictures
Of the modern whaler.
The projectile harpoon, the pneu-
matte tube used to blow up the carcass,
the steam vessel, even the accompany
ing motor boat, have made whaling an
efficient industry Of the machine age.
Plenty of Adventure.
But there is plenty of adventure in
the rough seas encountered by the Nor
wegians, who still dominate the indus
try, from Labrador's shores to the far
southern areas where Byrd's expedition
hovers around the Antarctic ice bar
rier. And the sudden dangers of the
most rOmdntIC industry Oh JIle 1uBIl
seas have not been eliminated when
whales still can flop" over on a boat
and submerge 1t so suddenly that the
crew barely has TIME to escape the
suction of the sinking ship.
The speaker started with his own
home town of Brigus, Newfoundland,
where his father of more than 80 years
still lives, and where the long-lived
generations before him have piled their
precarious sea-going trade. Women of
advanced years still work in the fields
while their men folk are at sea, in
Guiding even the boys, whose Summer
vacations are the whaling expeditions.
Boats Like Br0nchOs.
"And living aboard whaling boat"
Capt. Bartlett said, sis much like liv-
ing aboard a bucking broncho In the
wilder West"
Motion pictures showed Eskimos and
their dogs, still the major common car
riers Of Labrador. When the visitors
we're seen smoking cigarettes the ma
tives wanted some, and the more con-
sentative element among the native
women promptly crumpled them UP
and put the tobacco in their pipes. In
return for the visitors gifts Of tobacco
they served them "hors d'ouvre" OF
raw fish. removed fresh from the drying
poles. and craftsmanship required tina
these be eaten as served-raw.
