The Abandoned Wife.
Steps In Which Courts Will Help
Her TO Regain Her Freedom.

70 THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t is a
great pleasure for me to supplement the
advice given by THE NEW York HERALD
in answer to the letter concerning a de-
'erted wife.
Reputable lawyers are expensive. bur
one may be obtained by filing the proper
papers in the Supreme Court. stating
that the petitioner is not worth s1oo
outside Of clothing and other necessaries
for the maintenance Of the home. The
court will then appoint an attorney. who
must serve without compensation. This
is done in case an action for divorce Is
instituted.
In the case of an action in the Do
niestic Relations Court the city has an
interest in the case and no lawyer Is
needed, as the Corporation Counsel ap-
pears for the complaining wife. Iwould
advise this wife to consult with the
Assistant Corporation Counsel. Mrs. Nj
kross, who has charge of these cases
at the Domestic Relations Court, 151

Buy Yourself Safety.

For the forty-second consecutive
time the United Hospital Fund ap.
peals now to the people Of New York
city for money to help pay the ex.
penses of the great institutions
which serve all OF us by caring for
the sick and injured among us.
These hospitals-there are fifty
seven Of them in the United Hospital
Fund-are something more than no.
BILE charities. They are essentially
agencies of city life. Without hospi'
tails the activities of great urban
population would be impossible.
There is no man or woman in the
town. rich or poor, well known or
obscure. good or bad, who Is not their
direct OF indirect beneficiary. Who
ever has had the good fortune not to
require the shelter and the treat
ment they offer to the Ill and hurt
may need it tomorrow.
Those who give to the United Hos
pital Fund buy protection for them
selves as we'll as for their brothers
and sisters. Those who carelessly
neglect to contribute fail not only in
charity but in sound and effective
self-preservation.

Delivering Milk.
Reactionary Suggestion That Con-
sumers Might Get Ii Themselves.

To THE NEW York HERALD: In view
of the development of the milk situa-
ton, why would it not be good time
to return to first principles in regard to
the delivery cf milk?
Our forebears, IL they bought milk,
did not feel too lazy TO go and get It.
Now every fiat dweller has to have it
brought TO the door Of the fiat
This and the loss of bottles help make

Morvich's Great Campaign.

BY winning all of his eleven races
worth a total of $115,000. BENJAMIN
Blocks splendid two-year-old colt
Norwich has earned the right to a
permanent place in the annals of
thoroughbred racing.
Until Norwich won the mile test in
Maryland there was a question as to
whether he possessed sufficient stam-
ina to outlast the field which the
$4,000 prize would bring to the post.
The contestants were certain to In.
clude the pick Of the two-year-olds in
training IN the United States. Nor
vich had displayed great speed in all
Of his races. but mere fieetness of foot
does not suffice in sustained effort
for mile through the yellow clay for
which the Pimlico course Is noted.
Such test demands power Of lungs
and heart beyond the ordinary and
matchless courage as well.
II has been said that the truly
great in man or beast always has a
reserve for extraordinary occasions.
Norwich has shown the possession of
this quality twice. once when he had
to be whipped to beat Kai-Sang at
Saratoga and again at Pimlico when
he was headed by Lucky Hour. Both
times he answered the call wit0 that

When Bankers Go Visiting.

Within the last few months there
has been round of visiting among
international bankers of various ma
tiops the purpose of which. after
the fashion Of banking diplomacy,
they have managed to keep as closely
guarded as that other hermetically
sealed secret, the age Of Ann. Our
bankers have recently been hosts to
the Right Hon. REGINALD McKENNA,
one of England's greatest financial
authorities, and chairman of the
largest bank in the world, and to

When bankers 60 visiting in other
lands they usually have something
besides social calls in view. The
number and prominence Of the finan-
ciers whose names have recently en-
bellished the international visiting
list must presage something Of more
than ordinary Importance in view of
the financial state of the world.

Spirit of the Army-Navy Game

Visitors from abroad who attended
the football game in which the Navy
vanquished the Army on Saturday
last must have been impressed by
the spectacle which the incessant
downpour Of rain could not rob Of its
enthusiastic and patriotic quality.
The leaden skies made the picture
less colorful than usual, but there
were the same attributes which have
always made this game feature Of
the autumn. The marching of the
boys was as jaunty and rhythmic as
though they were swinging along
over springy turf or solid pavement
instead of the sodden. slippery field
of the Polo Grounds. The cheering
and singing were incessant. The
Army from the shelter of the grand
stand urged its team to stem the prog.
ress of the Navy. The Navy through.
out the afternoon, though drenched
by the rain. displayed the same un.
quenchable spirit as its fellows on
the gridiron and hurled defiance
across the arena on which the rivals
struggled for the mastery.
Football games between college
teams attract great crowds, and feel
ing runs high when they are evenly
matched. There was something more
than that in Saturdays struggle be-
tween the future defenders of our
country. In the throng were many
thousands of former service men
who, laying aside their partisanship,
perceived at their height those quail.
ties which. are the finest asset the
youth Of the country can hope to
possess. Those of the throng with
sons or other relatives on the rival
teams or in the ranks Of the cadets
and middies in the stands had the
thrill which comes from association
with the players.
The knowledge that Saturdays
game would break the tie of eleven
games each made the young athletes
all the keener in their desire for vic
tory. II in the heat Of combat there
were moments of roughuess there
was no bitterness after the close of
the struggle, when the rival factions
fraternized on the field.
The game. was fine display OF
Young America at its very best, and
as such it will long be remembered
by the crowd which saw it fought to
a splendid finish.

Federal Income and Outgo.

President HARDING is a business
man as well as a statesman. Secre-
tary of the Treasury MELLON, Budget
Director DAWES, Secretary OF War
WEEKS and other heads of depart
ments and bureaus under the Har-
ding Administration are business
men. And these business men who
are the driving power in the admin
istrative branch of the United States
Government knew the day they went
into Office that they had to swing the
broadaxe ON the national expendi-
lures for the reason that the public
could not stand the taxes and the
Treasury could not pay the nations
bills.
In the fiscal year ending with June
80 the tax collections fell more than
$500, 100000 below those Of the year
before. This was not because the
tax rates had been reduced; it was
because business profits. American
incomes and individual incomes, on
which were laid the taxes, had gone
down.
In the same way the tax collections
will be still lower for the present
fiscal year ending with next June.
But the business administration Of
the United States Government has
also anticipated this fall in revenues.
1t has chopped away unflaggingly at
the national expenditures-chopped,
in many instances, far below the
amounts actually appropriated by
Congress. So, thanks to them, the
national Treasury has not become
empty and will not.
But this isn't ALL On December
5 the Budget Director will present to
Congress his estimate for the next
fsral year ending June so, 1928. 1t
will be down to three billions Of dol
lars in round numbers, or more than
a billion of dollars below the prelim-
mary estimates and half billion of
dollars below the final figures for the
present fiscal year.
The business capacity and financial
sense Of the Harding Administration,
while relieving the public which
foots the bills, has been keeping the
Treasury solvent, though the old
sources of revenue, to which an in
competent or Indifferent Congress
has clung, have been drying up.

Help for the Policewomen.

The women who have volunteered
to protect children at street crossings
while the police are busy safeguard.
ing the milkmen deserve the thanks
of the city, and deserve to have it ex
pressed in the very practicable form
of complete and polite cooperation
from all citizens, whether they be in
motor cars, in horse drawn vehicles
or af0ot.
The work these women have under
taken is physically hard and mentally
exhausting. The patrolmen whose
places they have taken undergo a
severe course Of training in prepara'
tion for the task. The women must
use their intuition and their wit IN
emergencies in which the traffic off,
GERS have experience and instructions
TO guide them. The job will be much
harder for the women than it is for
the professionals whom they tempo
rarily supplant.
Under such circumstances the obli-
cation of helping out rests on every
body. Prompt and cheerful obedience
to the orders given by the traffic regu-
lators will be the most effective way
of displaying appreciation Of their
courage and public spirit.
When the emergency is over there
will be formal thanks for all the
women who serve to save the chill
dren from the perils of the crowded
streets. This will be admirable. But
while the hard work is being done all
hands can show their gratitude by
refraining from making it harder.
