SOCIAL WELFARE
WORK To CD ON

No type of service given by the
Montgomery County Social Serv-
ice League should be diScontin.
ued, the board of directors has
decided following study of the
activities and expenditures dur
ing the past seven months.
At the boards meeting last
night in Rockville, it was con-
cluded the leagues policies and
expenditures are most economic,
and that relief is being granted
only after proper investigation.
The board and food budgets are
lower than generally recommend
ed. and should not be further
decreased, it was stated.
The league is a social agency
primarily and at present there
is no other. Were it to cut any
of its services, it would throw
the dependents back on the
county, it was made clear.
Compared with the amount of
relief being given in seven other
sections of the country for a
family of five, using prices in
Montgomery county as a basis,
1t was found that other organ
iZations spent up to $3.50 a week
while the league uses but $3.50.

PLAN
SEEN GROWING
IN FAVOR

Demands for retaliation against
nations defaulting in war debt
payments continued today on
Capitol Hill in the wake of the
Senate's debate of the war debt
problem.
Among proposals made were:
/. Initiation of the American
currency through remonetiza-
ton of silver.
2. A legislative ban on flota-
ton of private or public loans
for any defaulting nation.
8. Preferred treatment on
debt revision for the creditor
nations which met their De-
cember Is payments.
4. An expression Of regret
over the reputation of Decem-
ber Is payments.
Senator BorAh (R) of Idaho
proposed initiation of the gold
dollar, irrespective of the Nations
attitude on the debts.
He also proposed a worldwide
economic conference for reduc-
tion of ornaments, lowering of
tariff walls, stabilization of none
tary systems, reconciliation of
silver, abandonment of repara-
tionS and revision of war debts.
It seemed hardly likely that so
gigantic a conference can be ar
ranged. On the other hand, there
were indications Congress would
take no action on debt defaults
other than to give preference to
the creditor nations which met
their December Is payments. This
step was plainly indicated by both
Republican and Dem ocratic
leaders.

The Jesuit scholaStics Of the House
of Theology and Philosophy of the
Maryland-New York Province, Wood
stock, Md, are aiding foreign missions
by collecting stamps, and they have
issued a general appeal for assistance
in the work. In their letter they say:
Stamp dealers are continually on the
alert to buy stamps, which they in turn
sell to the thousands of collectors all
over the world. There are various rea-
sons which contribute to the value of
stamps: Age, defects in printing, mis-
takes, lines out of place, original value,
overprintS, and so on. Stamps may be
valuable on account of their place in
collection; and this is the most usual
reason. Dealers buy Cancelled stamps
by the pound. Without any paper ad-
herring to the stamps, it takes 10000
stamps to make pound; with margin
Of paper of "a inch around them, it
takes 1000. 1t will be readily seen,
then, that only big organization, deal
ing in stamps by the thousands, could
hope to make money.
But the Woodstock scholasticS set
out to create great organization, and
they succeeded. During the past year
100000 stamps passed through their
hands. In one year total of 81 900
has been sent to the missions. A differ
ent mission is adopted each month, and
the profits of the sorting for that month
are sent to the missionary Of the month.
Letters from the missionaries themselves
testify to the great work being done by

Chairman of Presidents Cup
Regatta Announces Ad-
dition of One Day.

The first step toward enlarging the
Presidents Cup regatta into "one of the
greatest aquatic festivities in the coun-
try" was announced yesterday by John
A. Remon, general chairman.
To this years regatta will be added
ar, extra day-September 28-to be set
aside for rowing, canoeing and swim
ming events. The dates for the actual
running of the regatta are to follow
this, September % and go
Because of the late dates this year
the preliminary aquatic events will be
somewhat of an experimental nature,
with the idea of building up greater
program next year. Mr.. Remon said,
adding the committee expects to have
several outstanding oarsmen and SWIM
ming stars take part.
with the addition of these aquatic
events and the night marine pageant,
in which we expect hundreds of beau
tifully Illuminated boats to take part,
we feel that the Presidents Cup regatta
can be built up to practically Mardi
Gras proportions" Mr.. Remon con-
tinued. Washington has one of the
finest water fronts and courses for an
event of this kind that can be found
in the United States, and being the
Capital of the Nation it should have
an event in keeping with its impor-
tance This we believe can be de-
veloped from the start that we are
making this year"
At meeting held last week at the
Office of Mr.. Remon, James w. Burch
vice commodore of the Delaware and
Chesapeake division of the American
Canoe Association, was tentatively ap-
pointed general chairman in charge of
aquatic events for September 28 He
