Traveler,, IAid.

n NE good turn deserves another to someone
~ else. The Herald is never weary of we'll
doing for Washington and those who hepfully serve
in its vineyards. Besides which, we have travelled
a little, what American has not and we have never
passed through railway station of large city
that we have not quiet kindly, vigilant, black
bonneted women alert to help maybe save, arriving
or departing strangers of their own sex 80
These women of the Travellers Aid have not
asked The Herald for an encomium, or for COM
mendation. But friend has. Clipping an editorial
for Near East relief, he says: Good stuff, and
eminently o. K. But how about the girls and
young women who come to Washington strangers
and friendless? How about stray children with no
one to meet them when friends have failed
to meet them? How about the aged, the infrm
or the broke? How about those who cannot speak
our language and do not know where to CO. or
what to do?' Now comes the big show and thou
sards will come to Washington. Don't you think
The Herald should help the Travellers Aid to help
all these?' -.
We could not write better plea than that let
ter. Yet it only tells part. We know of no
more unsefish, wholly consecrated service than that
Of these wise and motherly women. 1t takes cour-
age devotion and complete unselfshness to do what
they do. No others do more for as little, and no
ington. Every little given in their support helps and
whether little much there is complete assurance
that a check cash sent to w F. D. Heron.
Union Trust Company, treasurer, will do the limit
of useful good.

SUNDAY. NOVEMBER q. 1921.

This is read as a rarely fortunate
day, in which the stars smile on
humanity. AstroIogers find that the
Sun. Mars and Saturn are all in
benefc aspect, while Mercury is ad-
verse.
1t is a day in which the mind is
attuned to higher thoughts and for
that reason favorable for ministers.
and religious teachers.
There is a sign read a. foreshad-
owing a great constructive movement
toward the harmonizing OF varying
creeds and the coordination Of phil
anthropic work.
Again the rule OF the stars is ben
eficiaI to the aged, who will find
that life is prolonged far beyond
the usual hazard among men and
women engaged in important affairs.
Letters written while this sway
prevails should be worded with un-
usual care, since the planetary gov
ernment tends towards misapprehen-
sion.
Real estate transactions should be
numerous and profitable at this time.
! Desire to own land lie held to be
increased by this rule of the stars,
which makes for a strong sense OF
the advantages of possession.
New enterprises begun on a small
scale are subject to the best plane
tary direction today.
Success is likely 20 attend the
projects of individuals who special
ize on certain lines of manufacture

Places of amusement will profit
toward the end Of the month, but
there will be various projects to
popularize the various better forms

A royal ceremonial OF marriage
this month will cause editorial COM
ment or more than usual slgnifi-
canoe.
Old ideas and ancient traditions
will have power at this time to i'm

Persons whose birthdate IL is

year but there may be danger Of

great interest in persons Of opposite

Conference for Peace.

ITO the people OF this country the Washington

pect peace They believe it will the last
peril which might involve this country in war. They
do not understand and never have understood why
the United States should go to war for China They
fail to understand just why this Of all the nations,
should assume the guardianship Of China, to hold
It blameless for its own faults and weakness, and
secure from the aggression Of nation of onetenth
its population.
There has not been peace in China for genera
ton For twenty years she has been in
constant state of revolution much after the
Of our neighbor Mexico. She squanders her money
in civil strife and does not pay her debts. Her peo
pie fight among themselves like children, but cannot
protect themselves against neighbor tenth their
size Instead, they run to this side of the Pacific
and lay their burdens upon this country. How far
is this government justified in going protect the
elephant against the gnat? Certainly not so far
as war No Congress would venture to declare
war in defense of China.
Nor will Japan provoke such She,
as little as the United States wants what she
knows Ho=!d be her own destruction. She wants
friendship with this country for her own good She
wants to play with this government and people and
not against them She does not appreciate Amer

conference and Secretary Hughes has framed pro-
gram Of general terms and much fexibility.
Mr. Hughes will not ask of Japan what he
knows she cannot concede and yet what if refused,
would create an enmity which does not now exist.

Mr.. Schwab told of the solution
which he had worked out for the
steel mills at Bethlehem and other
big plants which found themselves
confronted by labor difficulties
twelve years ago. Going upon the
theory that the fundamentals of
American government were right,
he organized the plants with a

problems Jointly.

Attorney General James S. Manning
ruled that the municipal finance act
of 1921 is invalid and In doing so
held that clerical error in the jour

only be corrected by the legislature
itself
1t Is a terrific blow to the larger
cities Of the state, like Charlotte,
Asheville, Raleigh, Wilmington and

they are debarred from levying taxes
sufficient to meet Indebtedness
The issue was raised by bonding
attorneys to whom the act had been
submitted in connection with the Of
ferirg OF municipal paper issued I'M
der the provisions Of the new law.
They investigated the records and
found that the bill is not recorded

constitution expressly says that tax

eral readings on roll call vote and
be so recorded in the journal.
