WASHINGTON HILL

playof for second round honors of the Washington park basketball league is set to be played tonight, with Baldwin Props set to meet the Community club.

Johnny Mccormack will referee tonight. A preliminary will be played before the big game to- night and the latter should start about g o'clock.
 Committee Action
 Spectators are watching with keen interest the situation which has arisen from the game between the Welles and Robins last Friday night, in which Squint Murphy scored 40 points to take high scoring honors for the year, and set new floor record.
 It was undoubtedly a manifasta- tion of unsportsmansthip for the Robins to carry on as they did, practically aiding the Welles to make the points. But the Robins did not have their official team. There is much question as to whether the executive committee of the league will take any action in the difficulty.

Many Problems Covered
BY the Community Chest.

A large number of the leaders in
the civic and social welfare groups
are pausing for the time being in
their usual lines for activity in
the coming annual campaign of the
Community Chest of Washington.
The campaign will open formally
on Wednesday Of next week, the
day after election day. This is a
civic and social job Of major impor-
tance, upon the success Of which
the solution Of many community
problems hang.
"Give . Hand-UP, Not a Hand
QUIT" is the slogan for this years
campaign. The people are urged
to "Give Through Your Community
Chest" Fifty-seven welfare agencies
in Washington are giving aid to
helpless babies, orphans, old folks,
boys and girls who are kept of the
streets. In short" the appeal
states, doing what you would do If
each person in need of help asked
you personally for that help"
Here is a truly convenient way
for each citizen doing his share by
one gift to all 81 through your
Community Chest. BY one gift is
not meant that you make it all at
once, and it may be in very small
amount, because you cannot afford
to make a larger gift at one time.
A better way has been found to
adopt a budget plan. Pledge just
as much as you can spare each
month or each pay day and give it
in installments. There are many
convenient ways to pay your pledge
and you know the money Is needed
right through the year.
Chest workers have learned Of
numerous instances where those
who have given till it hurt, have
had the greatest joy and salts
faction in their giving.
The responsibility for the success
or failure Of this campaign rests
inescapably upon each Of us. We
cannot shut our eyes to it and we
cannot wash our hands Of it. The
1899 Community Chest Campaign
must succeed.

URGES LIGHT STREETS
Trinidad Secretary Visualizes
Increased Traffic Safety.

Martin G. Stecker, treasurer Of the
Trinidad Citizens Association, has his
own trafnc safety proposal.
He urges that streets be surfaced
with a white or light-colored material
in lieu of the black macadam now
used on most streets in the District.
He says white streets would not absorb
as much of the light from the street
lamps at night and would therefore
give better lighted streets with fewer
trafnc accidents as the result.
Notice how much brighter the con-
crete streets are at night" he said,
even when they have the same light
ing system used on the black streets

Of such a proposal. The current

measure, than has ever existed be-
fore. Recently public officials have
come out in support Of such regu-
lation and they have the approval
