NOVEMBER 30, 1939 Graiy The promptiness with Which New Trie& villagers contributed the funds to, make up the full budgets asked'by their Community Chest associations is most gratify ing, flot only-to those upon whom, rested the re- sponsibiity of collectmng theýfunds,* but also those .upon .whose: generosity. dependence was placed to see that no. single charity should sufer from insuficient funds for its work. Only those who have shared in the labors of a Chèst drive can have any appreciation of the arnount of labor involved, or the hours that must be taken from business,. recreation or rest. It is no easy task to' organize a corps of workers, even after, the difficuit problems of policy have been settled, and the methods of accomplishing the job decided upon. Leaders must make many hundreds of contacts with the cap- tains and workers, and these ini turn musi of! that appreciation .is the gratitude which they feel toward those who, by their con-, tributions, have made the campaigns ýso. successful. To Save the JVorld If there is a single'thought that may be said to'be predominant among the peoples of aU nations, it is that at the end cf the ness, love ana purity." Under the leader- ship of Divine Providence it essays to banish poverty, industrial unirest and war. Under its influence the relations of em- ployers and employees in several industrial plants have beent brought into,,complete harmony. Another. movement*has for its purpose the creation of. a "IWorld Federal. Union," explained, as a "United* States 0f the, World." The author of this ambitious pro- gram is Clarence.K. Streit, a man of parts whose. record precludes. the possibility of his suggestions being! dismissed with. a smile.ý After the World war,. of which he is a veteran, he was attached to the archives di vision of the American peace, mission at Versailles. He represented "The New York Times" for ten years at.Le ague of Nations sessions, and is now on leave of absence from that paper. Mr. Streit's -plan encompasses a federa- tion of democracies, which would be coin- posed of some fi teen so-called dernocra- cies or independent nations. Its government would be patterned after that of this counx- try, with the executive, legislative and ju- dicial branches constituting the "check and balance" systemn. It woul have an execu-, tive, a congress with senate and house of representatives, made up of representatives from each memnber of the federation, se- ci~aSi mai ixLinenawAJ.L eAaUWL uVLUno a- A~ tion or group of nations would dare attack the federation, and that it will also bring harmony and freedom. .Both plans are worthy of close scrutiny by those who earnestly desire to brin the world backteý sanity. liftler has now put him8elf on a real hot spot, if news dispatches are to be credite4. He says that he wiU wln the war by next April. If he doesn't - well, lt's goodbye Mr. Hitler. The passing of James Simpson is a loss of first magnitude, not only to Chicago,ý but to the en- tire countryr and the world. Not even the oppro- brious epithets of the greatest enemies of idi- vidual success can dim the brilliance of his achievements. Ris is the story of a self -made man. A Scottish immigrant, he rose by his own abiity and. deterination to top places in the mercantile, mndustrial and banking fields. Ri s was the responsibility of directing large, con- cern s employi ng many thousands of people. He knew the problems. of business and usually found the aniswers. He faced payrolls* - and mret themn. He was one of the 'men, called "eco- nomic tories, " who did big thngs -i a big. way and kept the Wheels of. industry going, around. He wifl be missed. Why he had to die at 65 is a mystery. The most probable, solution is that a big.job was open on some other planet, with:no oeto fili it, and he was needed. This is about a horse race. The reasorn for its iniclusion here is that, in a moment of disgust, we expressed to an acquaintance our aversion to intelligence tests, lately so popular that they have been run into the ground. lie surprised us by agireeing. We suggested that in the interests of sanity they should be prohibited. Again -he agreed. Then we suggested that he write an i- telligence test to end aUl intelligence tests, and darned if he didn't agree to that, too. So what can we do now but print the thing? Without, of course, giving any clew to the author. He wouldl be too easy to identify, his name being Smith. H. - P. Smith, to be exact, now that we inadver- tently mentioned it, the H. P. standing forH'af- old Preston. jockeys were Alfred, Albert, ADDey, Anarew, Ammon and Astor, whose colors were scarlet, gold, silver, orange, blue and purple. 1. Astor and Andrew finished first and last, but flot necessarily respectively. 2. The colors of Anchor's riderwere darker' than those of the jockey who. finished third. 3. At the finish the five losers were strung out in equal timne intervals behind the winner, and Adlin's horse was flfth. 4. Ammon's horse did not finish in the money. 5. The gold jockey's horse was a haîf brother on thia theory,. if nôt tact, a movement might as well burn our books and is under way to rehabilitate the moral our laboratories." ;eI LgS A Chicago f'Ire captaiui is the author of a iy volume on the origin of Irish names, largely re- LYstrlcted to the O's and the Mac's. The writer's 'Y riame in Patrick Kelly. THE PNANTmm trEORTE VIVE CENTS A COPY
