CATHEDRAL WORK.
LUNCHEON TOPIC.
Pershing and Pepper Stress
Making EdifiCe Available
for 1882 Event.

The importance of making the Wash
ington Cathedral available for impress
sive religious services during the ma
tional celebration in 1882 Of the 200th
anniversary of the birth of George
washington was stressed by Gen. John
j. Pershing and former Senator Pepper
Of Pennsylvania at luncheon yester-
day at the home of Mrs. William Cor
coran EuStiS.
Preliminary steps were taken at the
luncheon for the creation of a women's
committee to help stimulate an intel
struction of the cathedral. Gen
Pershing, chairman of the national
committee for the cathedral. and for
mer Senator Pepper, executive chair
man, were the guests of honor.
Reports on the progress of construc-
ton of the cathedral showed that co.
600 persons contributed to its advance
ment In 1929, the gifts amounting tc
more than 100000. The present
construction objective, 1t was said, Is
completion of the transepts. Work on
the north transept was started in Oc-
tober.
The cost Of the two transepts. in
Guiding sufficient endowment to make
the units available for continuing SerV-
ice, 1t was estimated, will amount to
between $2,500,000 and $3,000.000 Mr.
Pepper expressed the belief that If the
transepts could be completed by 1882
the remainder of the cathedral would
practically build itself through gifts
and requests.
1929 Work Accomplished.
Construction accomplished in 1929
it was pointed out, consisted of the
completion of the crypt with its long
vaulted passageways. extension of the
roof line of the cathedral lis feet west
ward, building Of the children's chapel
and the Pilgrims steps. completion OF
the structural work on the choir chapels
erection of a new building for st
Adams and the National Cathedral
School for Boys, and completion of the
collegiate gothic structure now occupied
by the College of Preachers.

Director Addresses Kiwanis Club.
Director Street was a guest speaker
yesterday at the KiwaniS Club luncheon,
at the Washington Hotel. James B.
Edmunds, president of the Washington
Kiwanis Club, presided. In a talk ex-
planning the purposes behind the. 1880
campaign and how the Chest operates,
Mr.. Street offered the record of promises
kept by the Community Chest during
the past year as the basis upon which
it deserves continued support by the
people of Washington.
Where only $4,000 givers were listed
in 1928 by the 81 separate organiza-
tions, the Chest received contributions
in 1929 from $1,000 individuals, con-
tributing as a whole, to these same
appeals.
The service of 1000 volunteer workers
Of all races and creeds, he said, has
brought to the Nations Capital a fine
civic spirit which has affected all other
phases of civic life, and through the
Community Chest service Washington
has written q new significance to the
work Of the Community"

What Community Chest Means to Us
One of Series of Articles the Practical Results of
Cooperative Charity
BY MISS MATTE M. GIBSON,

Superintendent the Childrens HOSPITAL
The first year of the Community
Chest of Washington, D. C., has un-
doubtedly contributed much more than
we dared hope toward cleaning up the
bewildering confusion with which the
board of directors faced the problem
of financing a growing institution at
this time of each year.
With a systematized organization to
guarantee the support necessary for
current expenses and the assurance
that cooperating agencies also will be
able to meet the demands made upon
them by the community, we are IN
position to plan or the increasing de-
mandS made or the hospital without
the dread of a yearly deficiency. which
no amount of optimism could wipe out.
With the continuous growth OF the
city, the needs to be met have become
increasingly demanding and certain.
The Community Chest meets these
needs and Is in a position to prevent
duplication of work and can bring econ
omy and efficiency to high standard
through It's study and direction OF vari-
Gus budgets and the results obtained by
participating agencies.
I am personally convinced that the
Community Chest Is of inestimable
value to each agency as well as to the
entire community.
