CHARITY CHEST
. TO INCREASE
!. BUDGET
At Least $1,000 More to Be
Asked in Drive for Winter
Grim Season for JobIess

An increase of about one-sixth
over last winters budget will be
asked OF Washington when the
Community Chest opens its an
nual drive January /.
No figures as to the exact
amount needed will be available
until October, after the budget
committee meets, but a study OF
the statistics compiled by the
Washington Council of Social
Agencies indicates that something
over $500, 600, in addition to last
winters demands, will be asked.
All of the $4,000, 900 raised last
winter has been aIIOcated, but
william J. Plunkert, assistant di.
rector of the chest, said today
that Washington would not par
ticipate in the fall drive planned
in certain other cities.
To Borrow If Needed
If more money is needed be
fore January / it will be borrowed.
Increased demands on the part
of the various charitable organiza-
tions in the chest have been met
with the 100000 raised last
winter over the budget.
Mr.. Plunkert said today that
the Associated Charities alone
had received something over
$36, 1000 in addition to the original
1881 budget figures. other or
ganizations receiving further help
included the nine hospitals which
are members of the chest, $50, 900;
the Catholic Charities, $4,000.
and the Salvation Army, $40, 900,
Hard Winter Faced
Mr.. Plunkert believes Washing
ton is facing the worst winter in
its history. He is confident, how
ever, that the chest will be able
to take care of the minimum
needs of the city'S poor and that
the bread lines Of last winter will
be unnecessary. According to Mr..
Plunkert: N
"It would be impossible for
any private organization to take
care Of the maximum needs of
any city. We feel hopeful, how
ever, that no one will Starve in
Washington, despite the grim
promise of the winter"
Mr.. Plunkert pointed out, how
ever, that Washington, for a city
its size, has an unusually large
white collar" class with whom it
is difficult for organized charity
to obtain contact.
Cases Increase 50 Per Cent
Such persons, he said, only
apply for charity when they are
desperate, although since the
depression period they have been
less backward.
The chest headquarters has
prepared a chart showing the
number Of cases of family relief
handled during the past year.
It Is estimated that 1920 cases
came under the supervision of
the various charities connected
with the chest during the peak Of
unemployment, an increase Of so
per cent over 1880.
Mr.. Plunkert believes there
will be a much greater increase
during the coming winter.

DOUGLAS FIRE BOYS PLAN TO
 HAVE B. B. FIVE
James Manning Named to Organize Team-Other
 Issues Are Discussed

Several important matters con- nected with the Douglas Fire De- partment, its equipment and up- keep, occupied the attention of Hose Companies One and Two at the regular meeting which occurred last evening. Suggestions from the newly established Board of Trustees were received and acted upon favorably. The work of ex- tending the pipe line from St. Ann Avenue to Mob Hill, as recently recommended by the Trustees, was reported finished and residents in that section now have suitable hose connections in close proximity to their homes. The cost of the im- provement amounted to $99, which the Department advanced the money on in payment for the city.
 A complete report covering the recent dinner card party and dance which showed a net profit of about s130, was rendered by the committee in charge.
 The Department voted to spon- sor a basketball team again this winter and James Manning was appointed to organize the team. An invitation from the Chilkoot Barracks for the Town Team to take part in tournament to be held at Haines the first week in December was read and 1t was de- cided to send the team if the play CTS could go.

GREAT THROUGHOUT

It's a difficult job, too, to select any one outstanding athlete in track and field sports.
 Frank Wykoff proved the best 100-yard dash man in the country competing in the far west, mid west and east.
 The lanky Alabama boy, Percy Beard, lowered the world high hurdle record to Al seconds at Lincoln in one of the finest per- formances of the year, but even this was scarcely as noteworthy as the achievement of Jess Mortensen in shattering the world decathlon record in his first year as an all around star.
 Vic Williams and Ben Eastman the coasts great pair of college middle distance aces, both tied the world record for the 40 and Will Hams emerged as the national champion.
 Helene Madison of Seattle con- tinued her reign as the queen o1 the mermaids, gaining possession of an unprecedented number oi world records.
 Polos famous Tommy Hitchcock was not the outstanding figure he has been in international years sharing the seasons honors with Earle A. s. Hopping and Capt Pat" Roark of England.
 For sheer determination, courage and the conquering spirit against all obstacles, our choice likely would be Ouimet, Vines and Nor jensen. All three came through unexpectedly and with considerable dramatic flourish.

For the time being, the unem- ployment situation in amateur ath- leJic circles may be alleviated con- siderably by the work required to select the years outstanding ath- lete, to whom the James E. Sulli- van Memorial Medal is to go for 1881.
 The award is sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. It is based on the votes of 600 sports leaders in all parts of the country. Last year it went to Rober tT. Jones, jr. There wasn't much debate as to Jones'S fitness to receive this signal honor but it's another story-and head ache-this year when it comes to picking out the top half dozen among the amateur performers, let alone one individual standout.
 Take the golf brigade, for ex- ample. The most dramatic conquest of the year was achieved by Fran cis Ouimet in winning the amateur crown again, exactly IT years after he had last won this championship. But there is also the rise of Helen Hicks to consider-this 20-year old girl overthrow Glenna Collett Ware as the climax to an exceptional year. There was Billy Howell, the youthful Virginia sensation who gave Ouimet his most sensational contest at Beverly
