SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
REACH 100000
SAYS SECRETARY
,dav. March 10, 1892.

Scholarship loan funds in bus
mess and professional women's
clubs throughout the United States
have reached the total of 100000,
Miss Frances Cummings of New
York City, Educational Secretary
for the National Federation of
Business and Professional Wo-
mems Clubs announces in connec-
tion with the annual observance of
National Business Women's week.
aThis money comprises yearly
local and state scholarship funds, !"
Miss Cummings says: Last year
$4,000 was loaned to girl stud
ents to enable them to complete
their high school work or to take
special business training. This
year we expect every dollar of the
money will be put to work. Our
organization is solidly against the
principle Of boarding, for groups
as well as individuals, and we be-
sIeve there is no better way to
spend wisely than to keep young
girls in school who might other
wise flood the employment mar
ket with inexperienced help at the
time when there are not enough po-
sitions for trained workers. We
earnestly urge every local bushes
and professional women's club to
invest its scholarship funds to the
last penny.
aOur project for doing so h a s
been heartily approved by the
Presidents Organization on Unem-
ployment Relief as q real aid to the
government in a difficult period.
Your local and state organizations
have rendered splendid service to
young people through student aid
and loan funds, as well as In other
ways, comments Mr.. Fred G. Crox-
ton assistant director of the or
7nization lin q letter to head
quarters with relation to the plan."
Mrs. Mulkey, education chairman
sof the local business and profess
sional women's club, announced
that the local scholarship fund
amounts to $500 and that since it
was started in 1926 four girls have
been advanced money with which
to complete their education. The
club is making every effort to CO.
operate with the relief project Miss
Cummings outlines.
In the National Federation
scholarship loan funds have existed
ior approximately 10 years and
approximately one-haf million dol
ars has been expended in educat-
ing 1000 girls and a few boys.
AT least a high school educa-
uon for every bushes grip is the
principle to which the Federation
mas steadfastly adhered.

DECISION PERMITS
U. S. PAY INCREASES
McCarl Rules Reallocation of EN-
ployes to Higher Grade Not In
cluded in Promotion Ban.

Increases in pay for Government
workers were made possible, despite the
sharp restrictions of the economy act,
due to a decision given today by Con-
troller General McCarl to the Secretary
Of War.
The opportunity for such raises ap-
pears to lie in the action Of the Per-
Sonnel Classification Board at present,
and after October / with the Civil
Service Commission, in the reallocation
Of an employe to higher grade.
In his decision, McCarl drew a sharp
distinction between the field service of
the Government and employees in the
departmental service, the latter group
constituting most Of the workers In
Washington.
While such increases in pay on a re-
ALLEGATION were prohibited by McCarl in
the field service, because it is considered
AN administrative promotion" the pos
Sibiltty OF increased pay is open to those
in departmental service here because,
the controller holds, in this service such
a change in grade "does not constitute
an administrative promotion"
The question arose on a specific case
in the War Department. The Secre-
tary Of War said the case had been pre-
sented last April to the Personnel
Classification Board in the form of an
appeal of an employe for reallocation of
his position 70 higher grade. The
board approved the appeal on July II,
thus taking action in this present fiscal
year under the jurisdiction Of the econ
omy act.

CLEVELAND, July 27.-The new

GRAIN PIT APPEAL
SLATED NEXT WEEK
Chicago Board Will Ask u. S.
Circuit Court to Set Aside
Closure Order.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 27.-The Chicago
Board of Trade stood committed today
to a last-ditch legal battle against Fed
eral closure.
Its directors voted to appeal to the
United States Circuit Court the 60-day
order to close issued last Saturday by
three cabinet members in Washington.
Attorneys said they would act next
week and appeal to the United States
Supreme Court If defeated here.
President Peter 3. Carey Of the Board
of Trade said the question of solvency
had caused his organization to refuse
membership privileges in its clearing
house association to the Farmers Ma
tional Grain Corporation. The refusal
resulted in the closing order which was
made at the request of the corpora
ton, a Government cooperative and
subsidiary of the Federal Farm Board.
They failed to supply their records
asked for by our special Committee on
Membership" Carey said. I'VE know
they borrowed $4,000, 900 from the
Farm Board, but we do not know If it
is solvent. That Is an important point
to consider before granting clearing
house privileges"
The cabinet Grain Futures Commits
sion found the Farmers National had
been "unjustly" denied the privileges.
The board continues to operate under
a 15-day period of grace until August
8, but its officials say it will stay open
until the legal battle Is decided.

OTTAWA, Ontario, July 27.-The

His Responsibility.

Atlee Pomerene, former Democratic
Senator from Ohio, was appointed
chairman of the Reconstruction Finance

yer, who thereby placed responsibility
for operation of that relief agency upon
the shoulders Of his political opponents.
The appointment of Pomerene brings

ment, Representative Rsiney, Demo-
cratic leader Of the House, said the

There isn't any question about
responsibility for the existing relief
law" Mr.. Rainey declared. The Presi-
dent has had his own way about the
kind of relief law we should have. If
it fails, the responsibility will be his.
He can't dodge it. He vetoed the Garner
relief bill"
Although the Presidents action In
giving control Of this important relief
agency to the Democrats was received
generally with surprise, there had been
rumors that the chairman of the board
was to be Democrat 1t was under

Service, today said reports from inte-
rior China indicate thousands are dying
daily in virtually every province from

Drastic restrictions have been inst-

disease by carriers to the Philippines
and other American territories. All
passengers entering these territories
from the Orient are examined and
MANY are isolated on arrivel at Manila.
"At least 20 out of every 100 persons
contracting the disease are dying" DR..
Hart said. IT saw 20 funerals in 20
minutes at Annoy. where in four days
sa6 new cases were recorded while many
are unrecorded:
because of limited facilities for iso-
,ation and vaccination in China, no
Iet,Ip in the epidemic Is expected until
cold weather sets In, although there
NAV be a gradual decline in few

DR.. Hart said the present epidemic Is
