NEED Of RELIEF.
STILL URGENT

The $35O,O0O relief appropria-
ton for the District indicates the
additional need for private funds
for local relief, according to the
Rev. John O'Grady, head of the
board of directors of the Catho-
lie charities.
~ Father o'Grady attempted to
dispel the impression that the
congressional appropriation was
an indication that there is no
longer any need for private funds.
During June, the Catholic chari-
ties expended $6,399.23, as against
$3,916.3O for the same month
last year.

500 RAISES
Times Staff Photo

Approximately 1880 teachers in
the District public school system
will lose their annual $100 salary
increases because of the clause in
the economy bill suspending auto
matte increases in pay.
These teachers, representing
various grades of instructors,
have become eligible for promo
tion to higher salary classes,
which carries with it, under ordi-
nary circumstances, the $100 pay
increase.
Under the provisions of the
economy bill, however, they have
been promoted to the higher class.
but they will receive no addi-
tional compensation.

VOLUNTEERSA|D
GOODFELLONS
WITH CAMP
Requests Continue to Flood
Office of Times Relief
Unit; Work Needed

The Goodfellows office to-
day received a splendid offer
from the Volunteers OF
America, regarding their camp,
which is expected to open some
time next week.
Besides helping out by supply
ing bread and milk to Washing
tons most needy, this organiza-
ton will further help the Good
fellows by caring for some Of the
needier children of the city at
it's summer camp. Like the Good
fellows, the Volunteers are only
sorry that every child in town
cannot attend this camp for at
least one week.
Goods Delivered
Yesterday, the Mercha ntS
Transfer Company, the newest
members of the Goodfellow band,
picked up and delivered two ice
boxes, some beds, springs and
mattresses, much clothing and
several other articles needful to
housekeeping.
AS usual, nearly every call for
assistance was accompanied by a
request for work, and the Good
fellows have on hand a number Of
men who can mend screens, NOV
lawns, repair fences, garages and
porches, clean cellars and att1cS
and the thousand and one things
that are needed to be done around
a house. If any Goodfellow has a
few hours work he can give some
of these men, the small amount
of money which he will pay Is
nothing to the amount Of good
the money will do among those
who earn it.
Screens Needed
The majority of requests yester'
day were for screens, for both
windows and doors. Clothing was
asked in more than the usual
number of cases yesterday also,
and again you are reminded that
by cleaning out the things you
no longer need or use in your
wardrobe and giving them to the
Goodfellows, you will be assured
that some one Of Washington's
less fortunates will be mace bit
happier.
Gather all such things together
and phone District $3.50, and tell
the Goodfellows headquarters
about them. The Merchants
Transfer truck will call for them.

Chevalier's New
Film Play Makes
Distinctive Hit

Mirth and melody, clever acting,
an enjoyable plot, handsome set
tings and clever dialogue, all COM
bine to make "One Hour With
You" one of the most delightful
films presented thus far this year
to patrons of Fox Imperial theatre.
Large crowds enjoyed yesterdays
performances and the picture will
be repeated twice tonight.
Maurice Chevalier, the always
popular French comedian is seen
in the role of a doctor-a specialist
in affairs of the heart-mostly ro-
mantle. jeanette Macdonald is
cast as his wife, while Genevieve
Tobin and Roland Young form the
other half of q quartet which gets
slightly mixed in its marital rela-
tions.
Excellent musical numbers by Os
car Straus, author of the "Cloco-
late Soldier, add much to the en-
joyment of the film. Outstanding
is a duet, 1--WE Will Always Be
Sweethearts" sung by Chevalier and
Miss Macdonald, the latter's excel

who remember her in Monte Car

Thursday, April IA will be the
thirtieth anniversary of the found
ing of the J. c. Penney company,
that being the date in 1902 when
J. c. Penney opened the store il
the mining town of Kemmerer,
Wyo., which ultimately became the
mother store of an organization
now covering every state in the
union.
Penney's original invested capi-
tai was $500, which, together with
his unsecured note for $500, bought
for him a one-third interest in the
one-room shop operated under the
name Golden Rule Store" The
other two-thirds interest was owned
by johnson e. Callahan with
headquarters in Evanston, Wyo.
The plan of allowing store man
ayers to acquire an interest in the
stores they operated was a growing
one in the west at that time. II
was largely due to the fact that
there was little money.
AS partner, a manager was
likely to exert himself more than
as an employee. and he also be-
came responsible for his share of
the operating expense of the store,
Early spread was close to KEN
merer and was largely in the states
of Utah, Colorado and Idaho.
In 1907, Penney acquired full
ownership of three stores in the
Johnson e. Callahan group and
Immediately set his avowed plan
of operation into effect.
The plan was simple in its OBJ
jects. 1t put the possibility Of a
store partnership before every male
associate in the company. The
man who through his own ability
could qualify got a store of his
own. In modified form, the same
general plan is still working today,
30 years later.
Despite the fact that this plaa
was at one time termed too altru.
istic to admit of success by bank.
ers, it has resulted in a growth a.
a more rapid rate than has been
shown by any like enterprise in
this country.
Each original dollar of the $500
Penney put into the project 30
years ago turned over 5000 times
last year.
In the first 10 years, between
1902 and 1912, store units increased
to "a as men were attracted by the
promise of partnership and new
and efficient managerial material
was developed.
Total sales at the close of 1912,
for the year, were slightly over
50 100000.
The next 10-ycar period carried
the j. C. Penney company name
from the western states as far cast
as Iowa and south through Texas
and into the southeastern states.
In 1914, Earl Corder Sans, one
of the first men to start working
with Penney in Kemmerer, was
chosen president to succeed the
founder, who wanted to pass the
reins over to other hands than
his own.
Under Sans direction the moves
in expansion went on rapidly, and
at the end of the first 20 years i'll
business, total sales for 1922 were
more than $49,0O0,00O and there
were 371 stores carrying the name
of the company.
Between 1922 and 1927 which
marked the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary year, stores had increased 10
885 and sales for 1927 were
S150,000000.
In general, the expansion of the
company in its first 2 years of
growth, had been among the
smaller cities and towns.
This policy has not been
changed, but in the last few years
an additional field of expansion
was entered in the larger cities
and in major locations.
