tive secretary of the District chapter
Of the Red Cross.
Explaining the Chest had pledged its
resources to pay the 100000 to the
Red Cross within 80 days, Chest off,
Gals announced the remainder would
be forthcoming, regardless of the out
come Of the present drive.
Mr.. Street announced books Of tickets
to be given to persons asking aid on the
streets win be mailed to Chest sub
Scribers with Acknowledgement of
pledges after the close of the campaign.
He added persons desiring the tickets
before that time might obtain them by
communicating with Chest headquar-
tiers, 1410 I street, In person or by
phone.
How Plan Is Applied.
"The plan," Mr.. Street said, has
proved effective the past year in at
tempting to stem the tide of street
begging and eliminating imposters so
far as possible. Many cases of real
need have been helped in this way.
If the ticket Is not presented by the
person seeking money or food, the
chances are that the individuals hard
luck story would not bear questioning
THE Community Chest reports back
to the giver Of the ticket the result Of
the investigation following each appli-
cation for aid. 1t may be that relief
will not be necessary II the applicant
Is an impoSter or Is already receiving
help from some charitable organization.
The Chest IS in q position through its
agencies and its numerous sources of
information TO deal with these aims
a. -. u "a
the distress is genuine cents or so
cents viii not solve the problem. He
may be In dire want of real service.
1T Is far greater help to any man to
refer him to the Chest with one Of
these yellow tickets than to dole out
coin and consider the account square.
Direct relief Is not administered to in
d1vidualS at headquarters. Applicants
are referred to the proper agency best
equipped to serve"
Mr.. Poole yesterday admonished sub
Scribers to designate any part of their
girt 70 any Chest organization or to
tne Red Cross on account Of the va
| riety OF appeals and the great needs
represented in the Chest this year.
Every organization listed on the
pledge cards" he pointed out, will be
given list Of names and addresses of
those who designate any portion of
their gift to that particular agency, to-
| gether with the amounts of their deSig-
| nations.
Can Observe Organizations.
an case an organizations budget IS
| oVer-SubScribed, the subscribers whose
designations added together produce
| this Ver-deSignatton will be informed
OF the fact and given the opportunity
OF revising their designation in favor
| OF other organizations not completely
designated. On the other hand, If the
subscriber wishes his full designation
to stand, even in the face of over
designation, his wishes will be re-
Spected.
THE purpose of this arrangement is
to enable the subscriber to keep in
touch with those organizations in which
he Is interested; to have the organi3a-
ton know Of this interest, and yet to
make sure that enough funds are pro-
vtded for each member organization
according to careful studies of COM
munity needs In relation to these or
carnations made by the Community
Chest Budget Committee, headed by
Corcoran Thorn as chairman"

aSm an offer Of the management of

1t was the duty of all Washington busi-
ness concerns to assist the Chest as
much as possible.
