COMMUNITY CHEST
RUN
ABOVE LAST YEARS
Both Total Funds and Per-.
Centage Higher, Says Re-
port of Auditor.
$1,26O, 4S4 TOTAL
FOR 6-M0NTH PERIOD
Bills for 1929 and 1880 Still Are
Being Sent to De-
Gnquents.

Both In amount Of funds collected as
of July / and In percentage OF collec-
tions, the Community Chest Is running
ahead of its record last year.
Collections received by the Chest for
the first six months Of 1891 amounted
to 81, 260, 484.45, or approximately ga
per cent Of the total pledges Of 81, $780,
902.37 received for this year, according
to the figures submitted yesterday by
not include about $4,000 pledged to
the Red Cross direct during the last
campaign.
Stln Sending Bills.
The collections thus far compare
with $685., 033.16 for the same time last
year, which was Sos per cent Of the
total pledged. Bills for delinquent
payments On 1929 and 1890 are still
being sent to subscribers.
A total Of 29,a50 bills for $699, 417.92
were mailed on July l. Not all Of this
amount Is due Immediately because Of
the Chest for ISL. but the total
amount Of each subscribers bill Is pre-
sented, which Is to be curtailed by the
regular monthly payment.
More than ever before, the Chest
must collect every possible dollar in
pledges to meet the relief situation in
Washington due to unemployment"
Elwood Street, director, said.
Prospects Are Good.
There Is little prospect Of any i'm
provement in the situation this Winter
as compared with the Winter Of 1890.
Indications are that conditions viii be
equally bad, II not worse, and we must
be preparing to face this condition Of
affairs. Some idea Of the seriousness
of the situation can be gathered from
the action Of the Presidents Emergency
Committee on Employment In enlisting
the aid Of the National Association Of
Chests and Councils in a concerted
Embarrassing movement for all cities Of
Is, 1000 and over this year.
I'm the meantime, the normal social
service for the community must not be
neglected. and recreation and charac-
ter-building organizations must be
maintained In order that the unemployed
may receive more than mere food and
shelter. The Chest, so far, through its
member organizations, has been able to
carry this load without seeking emer-
gency funds, as was done in several
cities, and If the people continue to pay
promptly on their pledges, the Chest
will be able to meet the situation, &C.
cording to present prospects"

 HOLDS SESSION
Pohnert Makes Ad- dress - Election of
 Officers Held

An important business session was held and very interesting pro- gram was given at the last regu- lar meeting for the school term of the Douglas Parent Teacher Asso- citation last evening. A
 "Twenty-one Days with Chinese Bandits" was the subject of a talk by Miss Martha c. Pohnert, who has spent the last sixteen years as missionary in China.
 Miss Pohnert related some of the important facts of conditions rela- tive to the lack of voc tional training, and particularly Christian schools there. In 1914 when she first entered the field of her en- deavors there was just one Chris tian school in city of 750,000 pop ulatiOn, she said. Since then nine schools have been opened. It was while she was in charge of that school that she had her ex- perience with the Chinese bandit .ry. During the civil war which almost engulfed China, bandit ar- mics over-ran many of the prov inces of the northern part, footing towns and villages and taking the women and children for ransom. In spite of repeated warnings to flee the city with the girls under her

tie old man questioned her about her travel
 And where is your father?" he had asked.
 "Oh, he was tired of me- Norah explained, but later l shall join him."
 And your mother?'
 She died when I was seven. I've had to bring my father up alone, " Norah confided, and sometimes I don't think I've made a very good job of it."
 MT. Frewen said it would be very pleasant if they went to see the garden. He left them walking alone. But once he had gone the boy said:
 Dreadful old fogics, aren't they? I'm glad I go up to London tomor- row"
 II loved them"
 He smiled and one of his eye brows lifted in a superior way.
 When you are as old as I am you'll know most of our elders are awful people"
 How old are you?" she asked.
 Twenty" he said with pride.
 She hastily decided to conceal her age from him. No one would think l,ar 1E cho 1troc c,,on a toll brown, thin creature.

care before the bandits took the city, Miss Pohnert remained at her post and successfully carried on her work among the bandits with cut loss or harm to any in her school.
 Miss Mary Schramen, with two violin solos opened the program and Mrs. Glen Kirkham sang two songs. Miss Margaret Pearce ac- companied the numbers on the piano.
 Officers Elected
 During the business session which preceded the program, officers for next year were elected and seated, as follows: Mrs. Glen Kirkham, president; Mrs. J. R. Langseth, vice president; Miss Edla Holbrook, sec- retary and Mrs. Jack Sey, treasur- CT. A report on finances revealed a balance of something over nine dollars in the treasury.

they were penniless, not even that they were adventurers, but that her fathers restlessness was con- suming passion How many places they had lived in this last year alone! Julian Lake was enchanted with a view of the Mediterranean or a dark hill that rose behind them. He could paint here, he would tell Nora exultantly. But before the month was out the villa was too chilly to work in or he was dying of the sultry heat. So they moved on.
 Once in England she had cough that annoyed her father So he gave her ten pounds-a magnificent sum-and told her to do what she chose with it, but to leave him in peace.
 Norai, munching her apple, took out this precious memory and hung it in the sunlight, much as Mazda Jenna hung out her scarlet and yell low skirts.
 She remembered how she hired a bicycle and set out to explore the world. She had stopped at little lost villages where she had clean bed for the night for two shil- lings. She had talked to anyone who would answer her. and many had seemed to find this slim, brown, blue-eyed child strange and lovely. It was in Sussex she had met old MT Frewen.
 He was the rector of the small village and he had taken her into the rectory with it's faded chintzes and it's shabby books. A tall, fair boy with pale, clear-cut face, had bowed to her without word. Miss Frewen, the rector's sister, had poured tea from the Sheffield serv- i've Norah, glancing about the room felt it's charm. It was a home. It had deep roots. She wished she might stay there forever. The gen.

Norah brushed back her dark hair, thrust her feet into straw san dals and, dragging a coolie coat oyer her pajamas. went down the stairs to the salon. The room reeked of smoke and spilled wine. She unlocked the blinds, but the last. one resisted her.
 The salon looked tawdry. At night when the candles were lit 1t seemed almost palatial. but in the pitiless morning light the marble floor was scanned with cracks; the carved chairs were worm-eaten and the tapestry, with the Medici coat of arms, sagged from the wall like a rag.
 She picked up two glasses and a bottle and went toward the stairs to the kitchen. Magdalenna re- scented intrusion of her quarters, and it was no wonder, Norah thought, stepping over a string of red peppers that had fallen from the rafters. The charcoal brazier was unit, on the table was, a bag that had disgorged its contents of gnarled green apples, and onions and garlic rioted beside it. Yet in this kitchen Magdalenna could conjure up delicious dishes.
 Norah picked out the least worm eaten of the apples, poured herself a glass of milk and cut a slice of bread from the end of the loaf that was not yet moldy. She unlatched the. kitchen door and walked up two steps into the garden.
 It was cool and fresh in the narrow wild garden. She coul Id hear the birds talking cozily among themselves about what they would have for breakfast. Here at the end Of the garden stood plaster faun that enchanted her father. Green patina overlaid one dancing hoof,

but the lewd satirical grimace on his face had not been altered by rain or weather.
 She put down her glass of milk, stepped out of her sandals and felt the wet grass about her ankles. From where she stood she could see the walls that closed in the sun- baked villa with it's green blinds faded to the blue of old turquoise. A rose bush. with glossy leaves and pale buds that smelled like apples had given the place its banal name.
 In this moment she was lost in the narrow wild garden, soaring up among the tree tops, on and on through the golden air like the bird that darted upward and melted into the blue. It lasted a moment this strange ecstasy, and then she was standing ankle-deep in wet grass, hungry and bare-footed.
 Leaning over the stone on which she osat, she saw one of the snakes that lived there had come out to sun himself. He was little fellow marked with narrow golden stripe. She bent down and picked him up by the tail There was a sNrithing motion and something ,ejjthered away through the grass .and she was holding only his shell
 Come back; you left your pants hehfnd!" she called to him. Her 3afher was like that. she thought no matter how hard you seemed to pinch him between thumb and fin ger he had way of leaving you with his empty skin.
