COMMUNITY CHEST
MEETINGCALLEO
Rudolph Asks 200 Social
Workers and Others Inter
*u esled to Discussion.
Approximately -00 socia 1 workers
and citizens who take an active part
in the city's charity work have been
invited by Commissioner Kudolph to
attend a conference in the boardroom
of the District Building at 3:30 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon, to consider the
advisability of placing Washington
on the community chest method of
raising funds for charitable organi
zations.
The calling of this meeting is the
result of an informal conference held
l>y the Commissioner 10 days ago
■with a smaller group, at which it was
decided to get a more general ex
pression of opinion.
Thorough Airing Planned.
The Commissioner pointed out that
nothing definite has been decided
thus far, and the purpose of the con
ference Tuesday is to discuss all
phases of the plan, including possible
disadvantages as well as advantages.
The basic principle of a community
chest is the raising of one annual
budget to meet the needs of all rec
ognized charitable agencies, instead
of each agency conducting its own
tinancial appeal.
Commissioner Rudolph said the
community chest method was pro
posed in 1911, but that the city did
not appear to be prepared for it at
that time and there was created the
Charities Indorsement Committee,
which con tins itself to preparing for
the public a list of worthy charities
without raising the funds.
$17,000,000 CONCERN
ACCUSED OF INSOLVENCY
Creditors File Bankruptcy Petition
Against American Sumatra
Tobacco Company.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 9.—The Ameri
can Sumatra Tobacco Co., a $17,000,000
concern, was declared to insolvent
in a petition in bankruptcy filed
against the company in Federal Court
yesterday by three creditor concerns.
The tobacco firm was placed in equity
receivership Thursday.
The petitioning concerns in ask
ing for appointment of a receiver in
liankruptcy stated that the tobacco
company had made preferential pay
ments while insolvent within the past
four months, thus committing acts
of bankruptcy. The firms filing the
petition were Percival R. Lowe, Inc.,
claiming $-19 in unpaid commissions:
Neuer & Hoffman, Inc., claiming 5353
due for merchandise, and the P. D.
Sernan Co., with a claim of $7,326.
ALEXANDRIA.
ALEXANDRIA, Va.. May 9 (Spe
clal).—Alexandrians will be forced to
pay an increase of 50 cents on each
SIOO of assessed value, bringing the
tax rate to S 3, if the budget which
was tentatively presented to city
council is approved. The budget,
prepared by City Manager Rich, car
ries appropriations of $529,010, an in
crease of $44,571.64 over last year’s
budget. There is, however, the pos
sibility of city council paring down
expeditures in order to let the rate
remain the same. The proposed in
crease would give the city approxi
mately $50,000 additional revenue.
City council has been asked if the
city would be willing, if the board of
directors of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association comes to the point
where it cannot continue the build
ing, to purchase the lot and unfin
ished building for SIO,OOO. The coun
cil has the matter under considera
tion. Three years ago a campaign
was held and SBO,OOO was subscribed.
Collections were poor but a lot was
purchased at, Harvard and Cameron
streets for $15,000 and approximately
$25 has been spent in the building of
the first unit. Payments dropped off
and for several months the building
has not gone ahead. The arrange
ment with council was asked merely
to give a subcommittee some basis
upon which to proceed further. The
city will not consider the purchase
of the property which adjoins the
high school grounds unless the Y. M.
C. A. can furnish a clear title and as
sure it that contributors will not ob
ject to the use of the property.
C. D. Cahill, 303 North Washington
street, was found in his home late
yesterday overcome by gas from a
heater. He was taken to the Alexan
dria Hospital, where Drs. Chester
Amos and W. Clyde West resuscitated
him. It was said this morning that he
will recover.

New Uniform for Army Air Service
Is Selected by Board of Officers
Comfort Chief Feature of Distinctive Type to Be
Recommended to War Department Heads.
i
High Collar to Go.
The desire in the Army Air Ser\ice
for a uniform distinct and separate
from that worn by officers of the
Regular Army and of more comfort
and service in flying, which has been
simmering for many years. has
reached the boiling point of progress,
it was learned today, with the selec
tion of a type which will be sub
mitted to the War Department for
approval and adoption.
A special board of officers of the
Army Air Service has about completed
its deliberations, and the uniform to
be recommended, it is understood,
will be along the lines of those worn
by aviators of the British and Italian
Royal Air Forces.
The blouse has a rolled collar with
large patch pockets and is single
breasted. The trousers will he straight.
The color is a weak blue-green.
Recommendations for a cap to match
the uniform and an overseas cap also
will be made. The latter will be re
quested for regular service use and on
cross-country trips, while the present
"Pershing v cap will be kept for more
dignified occasions.
When an aviator goes on a cross
country trip today he must jam the
stiff cap into a tight corner of the

plane and on his arrival nut infre
quently finds the Wiring and visor
bent or broken. An overseas cap
could be folded and placed in the
pocket.
Elimination of the high standing
collar and tight fitting blouse, a detri
ment in flying, the aviators declare,
and the substitution of a loose-fitting
coat of comfort, which could be worn
under the flying clothes, would have
the greatest effect on the morale of
the officers. No pilot today goes on a
trip of any duration with the stand
ing collar and tight blouse because
he is unable to maneuver about in
the cockpit while attending to his
duties of flying. This blouse also
must he squeezed in a tiny Compart -
ment of the plane along with baggage
and tools
Little has been heard throughout
the service of the latest stop taken
in behalf of the new uniform and the
pilots are eager for every bit of
rumor or heresay on the matter avail
able. Their hopes were brightened
recently with the adoption by the
Navy of a uniform to be worn by
naval aviators while on duty as a
substitute for the trim •‘blues’’ and
“whites.” ,
