As Thanksgiving approaches, with
its return of fond recollections of
father and mother, the old place and
the old Home Town." are we going
to forget that the boy and the girl and
the friend far away there in the city
or the other state, + h%ungering for
the people and the things of the happy
old days?
Home is still the greatest word in
the English language, or any Ian
gauge, and no matter how rich or how
poor they are who have gone away
from us, their hearts are still tuned to

the fond ~recollections of yore.
Is your boy or girl off in the city,
struggling among strangers, struggling
to make good among the tall buildings
and smoke stacks, among new friends,
good. bad, or Indifferent? What will
bring a fuller hour of joy to their
hearts regularly every week than the
Home Town" paper? And believe us,
the boy or girl, man or woman who
finds happiness in reading about the
news of old home and old friends is
the man or woman who is proof
against the snares of the tempter?
Is there an old neighbor or old
friend who is plodding his or her

Der of the Council of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, during a recess of
the Council at it's recent meeting in
Washington, told a story of a discon-
certing backwoods witness whom a
pompous attorney sought to cross-ex-
anime. The case had to do with a
deal in hogs, and the complaint set
forth that most of the hogs had been
afflicted with cholera and had died
within a few hours of their purchase.
The backwoodsman was called as an
expert witness for the complainant.

A pretty girl sat in a railroad train,
As lonesome as she could be;
And she said to herself with a little
sigh
"If he'd only talk to me-"
The young man sat just across the
asile
From the girl with the pretty stare
And he said to himself: IF I'd sit

And so they rode the whole long day.
And neither one of them knew

While Jupiter and Saturn rule

The stars today seem to indicate
a return to many Of the old-estab-

home-buying, and tilling the soil.
There Is a sign forecasting suc-
cess in great irrigation projects that
will encourage colonization on a new

The number of deaths among
statesmen, public men, and promi-

Nervous diseases are to increase

A Community Church.

WIITH mOney-raisns campaigns to the right
w Of them, money-raisng campaigns to the
left of them and others just back and in front of
them, the good people of Chevy Chase in one
sitting raised S7o,ooo-plus for Presbyterian
them voeyed and thundered, they sat at table
and subscriptions to this church fund as
dessert.
The total came from 62o subscribers. Moreover.
the giving did not hurt; the givcrs seemed to have
the utmost satisfaction in their contributions.
They were more than repaid in the giving. The
other $4,000 needed to complete the entire build
ing fund will come in the way, as a fine
expression of Christian fellowship and obligation.
While Presbyterian in name this will be in
reality community church. 1t will be under Pres
byterian polity and administration, but will be a
church home for those of many differences of
doctrine, though of one faith. There is nothing
finer in Americas diverse social structure than a
community which centers around one or two
churches-we believe Chevy Chase has. two. This
brings all the residents together in their religious
bonds. 1t gives a spirit of neghborliness
1t is the best form of democracy-the democracy
of religion, the religion of democracy.
1t has proved true, also, in endless cases, that
such community churches should be of denomi-
nation, rather than union" There is then no
question of CONTROL no differences over polity.
and none as to pastorates. They are church homes
for all and the minor distinctions are forgotten
as in forms of service there practically no dis
tinctions.
Chevy Chase is to be congratulated. 1t is in a
most happy condition. Its children are gathered
together in its school They and their parents are
together in like relation in their churches. The
community is closely knit neighborly unit,
where the fortunes and misfortunes of each become
those of all.

Solicitor General Beck.

THE people getting accustomed to double
L surprise at many of the appointments made
by President Harding; surprise at the pre-eminent
fitness of the men chosen and surprise that men
of such proved ability accept offices which can
yield them no added prominence, but only the
ward of national service.
Such appointment is that of James M. Beck,
the position of solicitor general, the second high
est office in the lodge" Under President Roose-
vet Mr.. Beck assistant attorney general and
made an enviable record. He is of this coun-
trys foremost lawyers; he has had many cases of
first importance before the supreme court, but is
better known perhaps to most OF his fellow citizens
as a speaker and writer.
His Evidence in the Case is still regarded as
the most complete and cearest statement of the
beginnings and causes of the great war, while "The
Reckoning" is the finest bit of satire to which the
war gave birth. Those who have not agreed with
him politically, have at least respected his great
ability his forensic force, and his courage of
viction.
Under his advisory guidance, the legal depart
ment of the government will be sound and safe.
1t will reflect the law, and the patriotism of loyal
common sense Mr.. Beck has the unusual combi-
nation of brilliance and depth of eloquence and
real brains, of magnetism and logic. That he ac-
cepts the subordinate position, is evidence of his
genuine substance, and Attorney General Daugherty

were obtained from observations

Of the changes in the electrical con-

that the time Of maximum ana min

different localities, some localities

Observations for the diurnSl va

cases the total diurnsl variation

Deplores France Mission.

To the EDITOR, The Washington Herah:
The first straisht-out statement
that has yet appeared on Russia has
come from Secretary Hughes. Re-
lease every one of the some SO Amer
icsn prisoners now held in Russia
before any intercourse will be had
with her-that is it-that settles
things up to the present moment.
II, after due time, no word or action
comes. the thing to follow 1t with Is
the demand for the release Of every
American prisoner by a given date,
or see the bombardment of every
Russian port by American battle-
ships following.
1t is very trifiing thing for
Russia to hand over the SO Ameri-
can prisoners to obtain considera-
ton and possible trade in return.
II she stubbornly refuses to carry
out this trifiing proposal. vain is all
that Senator France can accom-
plish. In fact, IL looks as IL he is
going there to get for himself a
cell in prison. The soviets are no
respecters of persons whatever,
even of those who come to their
shores boldly confident OF being re-
ceived upon the merits OF their So
cialistic opinions.
Senator France made a great
speech before the Economic club IN
New York on May l7th. but we have
no need to know more about Rus
sia. big Bilr Haywood just sends
us word that Enthusiastically. Russia

Let us remember that Senator
France has promised us great
things too often. Before his cleo
tion he began. at large expense to
himself, with promises to the farm
ers. At his own expense, also. he
gave us to understand he would
accomplish something in regard to
Mrs. Harrison or know the reason
why-he has attained neither end.
In the same confidence he was go-
ing to get Eugene v. Deebs freed
from the federal pen-he has not
done this. International questions
are best debated and settled in
black and white. The bigger they
are and the more complex they are.
