37 Cities Sponsor
 Community Chests
Meriden, Middetown Included in List Experiencing Gains in Spring Campaign; Silver City Over Quota

did campaigns held last fall have been gathered for presentation at the annual conference of Commun- ity Chests and Councils, in Indian apolis in three-day preliminary to the National Conference of Social Work.
 Improved business conditions, as we'll as desire to repair the set- back which the depression caused to many non-relief services, may be credited with the steady rise in vol ume of giving" said MT. Burns. "A two-year comparison of all chests supplying reports for 1886 and 1887 reveals a AT per cent gain last fall over the previous year, and 5.9 per cent gain this spring. The av- craze increase for the year was 5 per cent.
 Among the largest totals raised in recent weeks are those of Boston, $4,4l0,000, a IA per cent gain; Gin cinnati. $1,826,333 Philadelphia, $4,010,000; and Rochester, N. Y, $1,- 150,0l2, a IA per cent gain.
 Flood Relief
 Louisville, rallying after a flood which swept over the city just as the chest was opening, not only met a large part of its disaster relief needs but got up second wind in April and gave $697, ,560 to its com- munity chest. This was II per cent more than had been given in the previous year"
 A more prosperous winter season in Florida is reflected, MT. Burns pointed out, in the fact that St. Pet ersburg gave 9 per cent more than a year ago. and Tampa 16 per cent more.
 Two industrial cities that also made marked gains are Youngstown, Ohio, with an increase of 13 per cent, and Toledo, Ohio, with II per cent.
 The greatest rise of ali was that Of Danville, H., which made 31 per cent increase from $42,249 to $55, 1889.
 Connecticut Cities
 Meriden and MiddletoWn are the only two cities in Connecticut listed in the survey. Meriden in 1887 not only oversubscribed it goal of $105,- 783 by the comfortable margin of $2,000, but in addition contributed $6,000 to the Red Cross in separate fund. In 1886 the Silver City" raised $107, ,486.
 Middletown subscribed $53,55O in 1886 and $60,00O in 1937.

It is with a spirit of gratitude that America pauses today to honor its heroic dead, to voice a ration's sorrow, to manifest a na- tion's pride in glorious achieve ment.
 It is not with the festive en- thusiasm of Independence day. nor with the exultant cries of victory that characterize the ob- servance of Ar1nistice day, do we commemorate this occasion and perform our duty of LOVE.
 It is rather with the spirit of humility that we bow our heads before the altars in our churches and. synagogues, that we com mune with the spirit of our loved ones over their fiower-decked graves and give public evidence of our affectionate remembrance.
 Our prayers to God are Tor the eternal rest of their immortal souls, for peace and happiness to their loved ones, who still feel the ache of empty arms, and for the future greatness of our country.
 Though tears may glisten in her eyes and her smile is as wistful as that of our Gold Star Mothers, America greets this coming of spring, this Memorial day, with song in her heart-a song of love, of thanksgiving, or good will to all nations and to all creeds.
 She finds renewed strength, fresh inspiration and determina- tion in honoring her dead, for it is a day that the events of word-a -day world, with its thou sand and one distractions, its tinsel heroes of the world ot make believe and the fleeting fame of the glorified makers of the head lines are happily forgotten.
 America has no other thought than to dedicate this day to her heroic dead. She has no other de- sire than to reconsecrate her fu- ture to a realization of the pre- cious ideals and in honoring the spirit of bravery and loyalty that enable her sons to write bright pages of freedoms history at Lexington, Valley Forge, Gettys- burg, Manila Bay, Seicheprey and the Argonne.
 Our priceless liberties of today are part of our inheritance given

CITY EMPLOYES
 OUT ON STRIKE

Providence, R. l., June 7-(UP)- More than 1, 200 city public works department employees, mostly labor CTS, struck today for higher wages and shorter hours. Public Works Commissioner Charles A. Maguire believed that 600 other workers in the department may join the strike during the morning. Chief concern of Mcguire was to keep the city incinerator plant operating. With 75 of the workers on strike, only 8 makeshift crew remained.
 The sewer and highway divisions also were affected seriously.
 The strike was called by the Pulp lie Works Department Workers as- sociation, an independent organiza- tion formed several months ago. At that time, thea ssociation was told that wage increases and shorter hours were impossible for the pres ent, but that a 4O-hour week would be instituted October l. X
 The demanded wage increases and shorter hours vary, depending upon nature of the work.

alton because of royal rank.
 He was a good officer, was kinc to his men and made many friends. He smoked a pipe like the others, rode motorcycle, drove automobiles and participat- ed in gymnastic drills, golf and football. In football. he was an excellent back.
 Then came his marriage, voy- ages to the Dutch Indies and the Congo, the birth of two children, the death of his father in moun- tain-climbing mishap and he was king. A third child was born and then occurred the great tragedy of his life; Queen Astrid was killed near Luzern in a crash of the royal automobile which the king himself was driving.
 Plunged Into Military Work
 The shock was great for Leopold loved his wife very much. His consolation was work and at this time an observer could see him as an active chief of the army. He headed numerous military cere- monies, flew to Camp Beverioo and inspected drills, followed army maneuvers and prepared himself, more and more, for his primary task of protecting the independence of his little country.
 Belgium's theory and defense plan is that the army alone will not be able to defeat one of the powerful armies of a neighbor, but it proposes to maintain sufficient military defensive strength so that tany foe will consider the risks of invasion too great to try.
 King Leopolds chief of staff was called "le moutard,' the baby, when he entered military school for he was only II years old. He became an artillery officer and was stationed in Brussels.
 He knew that when appointed lieutenant he would be obliged to leave Brussels and serve in from tier fortress. He didn't want to leave Brussels so he took up spe- ial studies in the war school, finished at the head of his class and became a staff officer. He be- came sub commander of the Ant Werp fortified positions. Then came the World War, during which as a staff officer he worked heroically and made many tours of the front lines. He was an officer with the Belgian army that occupied part of Germany after the armiStice.
 Rose During Controversy
 Returning, he was made assis- tant chief of the general staff and held this position until, because Lieut.-Gen. Nuyten disagreed with Defense Minister Albert Deveze on defense plans, Nuyten resigned. Van ] den Bergen then became chief of ! staff.
 He is ever smiling, with smile that is mocking, and usually has a pipe clenched in strong teeth. He participated in the meeting of chiefs of general staffs held in London.
 Also ever smiling is General Du- vivier, air chief. There is nothing in his usual expression revealing that, in case of war, his forces would have to bear the first shock. Duvivier, however, is not a man of the air. He became a flyer at the age of 55 when, after being chief of the cabinet of the minister of defense, he was made commander of the air forces. Promptly nc learned to fly and soon was piloting his own plane.
 All his life he has been an ar- dent sportsman He does not look his age. He, too, is former artil- leryman.

SlulIl dSdAIIDL NCI AIlCll AAAF CtSAOA
 The young kings right arm in such crisis would be Lieut-Gen. E. M. Van den Bergen, 57-year old chief -of-staff. His next most im- portant officer would be General Duvivier, chief of Belgian air forces, on the theory that the next war will open suddenly with a mass air attack.
 King Leopold was trained from boyhood to assume supreme con- mand of his cou,1try's armed forces. He had the best military tutors who taught hom of great battles of the past, military strategy and instructed him in arms. He was only IA years old when, on the orders of King Albert, he became a soldier in the World war-equipped with rifle and cap like common sol dierS.
 Shown No Difference
 He was not sent into the front line trenches, but performed hard service and mingled with other soldiers on an equal footing. After the war he was sent to military school, where he was good pupil. Then he became an officer, per- formed his duties like other of- ficers and was not shown consider

See Bill as Stabilizer

Many administration pollcles are being worked out with a weather eve to the next depression-or re- cession, if you prefer. One claim made for the Connery-Black wages and hours measure is that it will be a great stabilizer of wages and purchasing power when bad times come.
 A counter claim is that the meas ure will stimulate use of labor-sav- ing devices and shove a lot more people out of work, especially In any period of decline.
 "But industry can't possibly in- stall labor saving devices any faster than it has been," reply administration economists. There has been rise of 16 per cent in productivity per man hour since 1929. That means virtually an in- dustrial revolution and it's a big factor in the continued unemplOy- ment."
