THE REAL PROBLEM

Revolver legislation is too
often left in the hands of ex
tremists. The real problem
which sound legislation must
solve, is how to curb or prevent
criminal use of firearms without
denying their ownership to law
abiding citizens.
The nearest approach to per
lection in this sort of legislation
is found in the Model Firearms
Bill which has been given the
approval of the American Bar
Association.
No law can com pletely prevent
crime committed with guns or
other implements. But this bill,
by increasing penalties for per
sons who commit crimes with
the aid of guns. and providing a
penalty for anyone with crimi.
nal record being found with q
small arm, does tend to act as .
deterrent to gun toting.
The rights of citizens are pro
tected for, under the provisions
of the bill, any person with .
good record can obtain q gun,
toe number of which is register
ed. The gun is not delivered
until q time after the purchase,
so as to give law-enforcement
authorities opportunity to make
sure the purchaser is buying it
for legal purpose.
A law of this kind accomp
fishes more good than drastic
anti gun ordinances which ruth.
lessly restrict personal rights
liberties.

STUDYING THE SILVER PROBLEM

1t is announced that the world
silver problem is to be studied
by committee of experts ap.
pointed by the International
Chamber Of Commerce. These
experts, representing the United
States, Great Britain, China and
other countries. will be selected
on the basis of their knowledge
both of silver and economics.
Whatever recommendations
the committee makes will be re-.
ceived with interest throughout
the world. Low silver prices
largely brought on by the fact
that most nations have gone to
the gold standard of coinage
play an important part in the
business depression. The vari.
Gus governments interested in
silver must agree on Q policy for
it's sterilization, and such inves.

making OF George Washington.
His bravery under fire, his sal
vation of Braddock's forces from
still worse defeat. gave him a
name throughout the Colonies,
and led to the next successive
steps in his career.
With the defeat of Braddock,
the Virginia Assembly grew
really alarmed. and at last was
wiling to vote any sam req uired
for defense against the French.
Washington himself was voted
three hundred pounds as a re
ward tor his services with Brad
dock. The Virginia Regiment
was increased 10 Is companies.
And on August II, 1855. Major
Washington was commissioned
by Governor Din widdie, Colonel
of the Virginia Regiment and
Commander-in- Chief of all the
forces now raised or to be raised
for the defence of His Majssty's
Colony. And you are hereby
charged with full Power and
Authority to act Defensively or
Extensively. as you shall think
for the good and welfare of the
Service.
Sather q large order for q
young, fellow of %, but still
Washington was not satisfied.
Governor Din widdie's commits.
sion was after all only a Colonial
appointment. and already Major
Washington had had bitter and
humiliating experience as a Col
onial officer at the hands of those
who held military rank by royal
dearee. Officers of Carolina
troops, for example, who held
commissions by royal authority.
had high-hatted him and ham
pered him; and be was through
with these indignities.
AS Gov. Dinwiddie could do
nothing to settle this annoying
question as to who was who in
military rank, Colonel Washing
ton made his famous trip to Bos
ton. to lay the matter before
Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts,,
theloniy English governmental
officer in the Colonies with power
to grant royal commissions.
Needless to say the Governor of
Massachusetts was won over by
the young Virginian. and Col.
Washington returned, this time
an important victory. He had
established the fact that an
American officer might outrank
holder of a royal commission.
Thereafter DO other officer of
the same rank asserted even q
technical superiority over the %
year. old Commander-in-Chief of
the Virginia forces.

CONCENTRATED RELIEF METHOD
OF COMMUNITY CHEST is CITED
Capital Traction Executive
Outlines Creditable Work
of Current Drive.
Message of Distressed Is
Laid on Doorstep of
Every Citizen.
BY J. III. HANNA,

President Of the Capital Traction Company.
Once again Washington is to be asked
to contribute as generously as it may
to the Community Chest, which in the
two years of its existence in the Cap;tsi
City has proved beyond any question
that it is very much worth while
I believe in the Community Chest for
many reasons, but among the others
are two which appear to me to be out
standing.
The first is the fact that with such
an agency functioning the task of rails
ing large sum of money-and it is a
task, no matter how much disposed to
give many persons may be-iS placed in
the hands of that agency and the
trained men and women who serve the
hospitals, homes and other institutions
which are members of the Chest are
free to devote their energies IL the &C
tual work of alleviating suffering and
want and caring for those who need
care.
Those of us who are familiar with
conditions before the Chest was organ
ized well remember how many different
campaigns were launched and carried
through each year. There we're dozens,
scores of them. There had to be. Each
welfare agency now in the Chest was
compelled, in some degree at least, to
depend upon contributions from the
public. To get those contributions re-
quired planning and organization and
effort, much of which today flows in
the channels in which they belong. that
of the service each particular institu~
ton performs.
My second chief reason for my strong
