CHARITY DRIVES NET MILLIONS IN 360 CITIES Community Fund Campaign More Successful Than for Many Years. BY PAUL HARRISON, NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Hard times have brought boom times to the federated charity business, and it is because depression has been so unusually severe that the Community Chest drives in hundreds of American cities arc enjoying unprecedented success. With a spirit comparable to nothing since the war chest days of 1917, people have been giving of their substance as well as their .surplus, giving until they gave up cherished plans for new cars and radios and fur coats. Most of the 360 Community Chest drives, in as many cities, have been closed now, and 110 final reports have been filed with the Association of Community Chests and Councils, in New York. Total to Pass 80 Millions These, coupled with incomplete returns, show that the. largest amounts ever raised by centralized campaigns—expected to total well over $80,000,000 —will be available in 1931 for the alleviation of human suffering. This means a full 10 per cent Increase over the 1930 funds on which relief, welfare and social agencies associated with the various Community Chests now are functioning. The goals set by 110 cities which have completed their drives totaled $37,804,957. The amounts subscribed amounted to $38,120,706. The same Chests last year contained $34,661,694. Two hundred and fifty other Community Chests which had not sent in final reports are expected to maintain the ratio of these statistics. Cleveland Passes Quota Some cities stage their campaigns in the spring, and among them are Rochester, N. Y., San Francisco and Cincinnati. The latter two, according to Bums, will raise about $2,500,000 each. Cleveland, where the Community Chest idea originated, has broken all records for giving. Ten out of every twenty-five persons in the city made contributions last month, and the initial goal of $4,650,000 was exceeded by $17,000. Atlanta, Baltimore, Columbus, 0., and a number of other cities, which in previous years have fallen short in Community Chest drives, have seen their goals topped this season by several thousands. Panics Fail to Stop Drive Financial panics and near-panlcs in southern cities have failed to interrupt the golden streams for charity. During one day last month thirty-five banks closed in Arkansas. Yet Little Rock, the largest of these banks was located, exceeded its Chest quota. The largest oversubscription so far this season was made by Minneapolis. With an announced goal of $1,431,000, workers there raised $1,551,000. Some of the other cities registering large gains are Bridgeport, Conn., Omaha, Oklahoma City, Rockford. 111.; Worcester, Mass.; .Albany, N. Y.; Indianapolis, Kansas City, Mo.: Milwaukee, Montreal, Racine, Wis.; Seattle, Shreveport, La.; Springfield, 111.; Springfield, Mass.; Houston, Tex., and Dayton. MRS.

COUGH “MELTED AWAY” “Jackie was out in real pneumonia weather and caught a nasty-sound-ing cough. Immediately I put Jack to bed and started treatment with Smith Brothers’ Cough Syrup. It soothed and relieved him. The cough seemed to melt away. In the morning there wasn’t a sign of a cough left.” Mrs. W. Roby, 13608 Emily Street, Cleveland, O. L

The love of Miss Marie Tario, (above) for an Italian nobleman whom she met on a recent world tour, brought triple tragedy to her home in Philadelphia. She was shot and killed by her father, Albert Tario, wealthy manufacturer, who then turned the weapon on his wife and himself. Both father and mother were reported to have been determined to prevent a marriage between the Italian and their 22-year-old daughter, a radio singer.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

j may sound like an impossibility, but I San Francisco hikers have done just that. For years a line known as the crookedest railroad in the world wound its way from Mill valley up the slope to the summit of Mt. Tamalpias, one of the scenic spots of Marin county, across the bay from San Francisco. Then a few hikers appeared and soon a climb to the summit became more popular than the train ride. Trails were built, hiking clubs were organized and finally this year the

Tamalpias & Muir Railroad ceased operations. An automobile road aided the hikers, of course, in making the operation of a railroad unprofitable. There are four trails to the peak of Tamalpias and every Sunday hundreds of hikers are trudging over them while the auto road, at which tolls are collected, does not do a rushing business. It is approximately twenty miles from the bay to the top of the mountain. Hikers from San Francisco take an electric train to Mill Valley and then hike the ten miles,

’ if the short route is selected, up the 2,601 feet. PERFECT VACUUM TUBE By SKA Service SCHENECTADY, N. Y.. Dec. 5.
