CHARITY DRIVES
NET MILLIONS
IN $50 CITIES
Community Fund Campaign
More Successful Than
for Many Years.
BY PAUL HARRISON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Hard times
have brought boom times to the
federated charity business, and 1T
is because depression has been so
unusually severe that the Commu-
nifty Chest drives in hundreds Of
American cities arc enjoying UMPIRE
cedented success.
With spirit comparable to
nothing since the war chest days
Of 1917, people have been giving
Of their substance as we'll as their
surplus, giving until they gave up
cherished plans for new cars and
radios and fur coats.
Most Of the 800 Community
Chest drives, in as many cities,
have been closed now, and 10
final reports have been filed with
the Association of Community
Chests and Councils, in New York.
Total 10 Pass so Millions
These, coupled with incomplete
returns, show that the. largest
amounts ever raised by centralized
campaigns-ex expected to total well
over 0000,000-will be available
in 1881 for the alienation of human
suffering.
This means a full 10 per cent
increase over the 1890 funds on
which relief, welfare and social
agencies associated with the various
Community Chests now are func-
tioning.
The goals set by 40 cities which
have completed their drives totaled
S37ao4,o57. The amounts subscribed
amounted to $38, 12O,7O6. The same
Chests last year contained $34,661,-
694.
Two hundred and fifty other Com
munity Chests which had not sent
in final reports are expected to
maintain the ratio of these statis-
tics.
Cleveland Passes Quota
Some cities stage their campaigns
in the spring, and among them are
Rochester, N. Y, San Francisco and
Cincinnati. The latter two, accord
ing to Burns, will raise about
$2,500,000 each.
Cleveland, where the Community
Chest idea originated, has broken
all records for giving. Ten out of
every twenty-five persons in the
city made contributions last month,
and the initial goal of $4,650,000 was
exceeded by $4,000
Atlanta, Baltimore, Columbus, o.,
and a number of other cities, which
in previous years have fallen short
in Community Chest drives. have
seen their goals topped this season
by several thousands.
Panicy Fail TO Stop Drive
Financial panics and near panics
in southern cities have failed to in
terrupt tine golden streams for char
ity. During one day last month
thirty-f1ve banks closed in Arkansas.
Yet Little Rock. where the largest
Of these banks was located, exceeded
its Chest quota.
The largest oversubscription so
far this season was made by Min
neapolis. With an announced goal
of S1,431 600, workers there raised
1851 900.
Some Of the other cities register
ing large gains are Bridgeport,
Conn, Omaha, Oklahoma City,
Rockford, Ill; Worcester, Mass;
Albany, N. Y; indianapolis, Kansas
City, Mo: Milwaukee, Montreal,
Racine, Wis; Seattle, Shreveport,
