Bishop Reginald Herbert Weller oil

ity report on the question of concor-
dat with Congregational churches. has
been fighting the majority report stub
bornly since the concordat came up for
consideration yesterday afternoon, ana
the fight may be carried over until to-
morrow.
He declares that the resolution pro-
posed by the commission does not al
feet any agreement tending toward
unity with the Congregational church as
a church, but will merely effect series
of agreements with individuals under
which the ministers will accept ordina-
ton by an Episcopal Bishop. which, In

The young people OF the present are
not at all impressed by the wording
of the Commandments.
Champions of the fundamentalists de-
clared that attempts to abbreviate or
change the text of the Commandments
were a blow at the very foundation or
religion. but their position was not sus-
tanned in the vote.
In the voting for president of the Ma
tional Council Bishop Brent's lead over
Bishop Gnilor dropped in the fourth
ballot. when he received 81 votes to 80

Conscience and Thrift.
Ingenious Repentance Of an Old
Time Quaker.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
early Quaker settlers in, eastern Penn
sylvania and adjoining parts OF Della
ware and Maryland were generally as
thrifty as the Scotch and often more
ingenious in the application of thrift
to their business affairs. This is re-
called by an item found In the booklet
OF the bicentennial of the Brick Meet

from then TO the wire. Like other
good horses Exterminator will not
do more than he has to, and most
of his races have been won by a
head or neck.
Stout hearted and iron limbed as
he is. Exterminator has little chance
of surprising the world record in
prize winning, which is the $291,275
credited to the English horse Isin-
glass. This huge total was rolled up
in eleven races. as against the more
than forty victories of the American
gelding. Donovan and Rock Sand,
with s277,215 and $23S,900 respec-
lively, are the only other English
horses with winnings exceeding those

be spent on the Kilmer farm at Bing-

approves only the best in contsmpe

approves only the best in contempo-
raneous fiction.
For a book to be best seller 1t
is necessary to please all these strata.
Lucky is the author. thrice blessed
the publisher. when such a book is
produced. 1t must so appeal to the
different classes of readers that they
find it irresistible. For every stra-
tUm Msca must be the characteristic
which il holds indispensable. Thus
when all kinds OF readers feel the
irresistible urge to read book
which contains something for every
one of them the best seller has been
achieved.
Readers are of course more numer-
Gus to-day In proportion to the popu-
lation than they have ever been.
Libraries and other agencies put
novels within the reach Of many who
never before thought of reading them.
II is quite possible to agree with the
London publisher that people of many
varying tastes must be satisfied. 1t
may be that his theory founding the
best seller on the ability to appeal to
them all, to offer something to every
one of them, really explains the phe-
nomenon, which exists more generally
now than it did in former days. To
read the pronouncements of the, pub
Usher it would seem that every book
put on the market to-day is best
seller.

Careers for Women.

The primary or election nowadays
which fails to start another woman
on the road to public service is the
exception. Tuesday saw the nomina-
ton OF Miss RUTH TAYLOR in West
chester county as the Republican
choice for Judge OF the Children's
Court. She is the first woman to run
for judicial Office in that county.
From Washington comes the an
nouncement that President HARDING
has sent to the Senate the nomina-
ton of Miss LUCILLE ATcHERsoN OF
Columbus, Ohio, to be secretary OF
embassy or legation Miss AToHEI-
SON is the first woman to be chosen
for an important post in the Ameri-
can diplomatic service.
Women ought to acquit themselves
creditably in both these fields of pub
lie service. Objections are advanced
to the occupation by women OF ju-
dicial Offices in which they would be
called upon TO pass sentence upon
mature criminals. Many believe that
their emotional susceptibilities, their
quick sympathy, would disqualify
them for unfinching administration
OF the law. These objections are
hardly valid in the case Of the Chill
dren's Court. There sympathy and
that intuition which everybody be.
lieves in may accomplish more than
unmelting sternness.
AS for the diplomatic service, there
Is another OF woman's special quail
ties which should help her in that
field Her intuition we take on trust.
but her tact in its application to prac-
tical affairs has already been amply
demonstrated in the business world.
And is not tact nearly synonymous
with diplomacy?
Every year the barriers which have
separated women from free choice OF
career have grown fewer and more

The Herb That Heals.
Information Wanted About q Plant
OF the Mysterious East.

To THE New York HERALD: VIII you
kindly permit me to ask through your
paper for information about certain
herb known In the ancient Syriac ana
Armenian tongues as the healer?
1t grows In parts OF Armenia and
India. 1t was brought to my notice by
an Armenian who used 1t for curing
diseases and believed that it's chief prop
erty was to rejuvenate, and that 1t did
this to a remarkable degree. have not
been able to gather any botanical in
formation about 1t. n
/ have seen il once In the lower Him
alayas. have gathered and eaten It, but
the natives knew nothing about it. 1t is
small plant growing close to the
ground with veined, crisp. fanlike
leaves. Can any one say IL such plant
is known among the herbs Of America
or Europe? 1t Is probably the mythical
Daura of Paracelsus. for my informant
assured me that 1t would keep me young
for more than a hundred years and
cure all my ills.
! gathered a quantity. mixed 1t as l
was told and ate it regularly while 1t
lasted and was astonishingly well and
strong while took 1t. 1t may be known
In America under some other head than
herb. or as "a weed.
would ask every one to do what he
can to encourage greater investigation
into the herbs of the field. Many are
not known yet, and some Eastern ones
have marvellous properties, and 1t Ia
probable that the early races owed their
longer span OF life to the knowledge
and use Of these plants. There Is no
doubt that flesh can be cultivated to a
state of purity that will resist age and
decay for very long time as easily as
rare varieties of flowers and fruit can be
grown from common wild stock. This
science formed part of the esoteric
teaching preserved here and there in the
Armenian traditions. and the healer
played an important part in it.
I will be grateful for pressed leaf
specimens OF any plant answering the
description for purposes OF identified
ton, whether herb or weed. 1t Is said
to have a small seed pod or berry but
It was not in fruit when saw 1t and so
I cannot describe 1t.

| bid You Keep Some Few Small
Dreams.

/ pray that you may never have
The things you long for most;
For he who gratifies desire
Must pay a princely cost.
The doll I wanted as child
Seemed strangely wonderful.
Until held her In my arms
Then she was Just doll.
The world that stretched beyond my

1t spelled romance to me;

There's nothing left to see.

While love wac yet ahead.

Nor stirs not at his tread.

Than see you have the things you want

Broadway Knitters.
A Colony Of Old Fashioned Girls Have
Occupied st. Paul's Churchyard.

To THE NEW York HERALD: What is
all this talk about there not being any
old fashioned girls any more? There's
colony of them Just few steps west
Of lower Broadway. If you will saunter
past ST. Paul's churchyard late in the
lunch hour any fine day YOU can find
sitting on the benches under the church
wall at least half a dozen girls quietly
knitting or crocheting or dropstitching
or something feminine with needles, and
they appear TO be very peaceful and
contented.
Apparently not all the business girls
spend the leisure half of their lunch
hour parading up and down Broadway,
for / suppose these must be business
girls. Who else would come down to
knit on Broadway? PAssERnY.

Deep Gold Mines Near the Scene OF
the ~Arg0naut Disaster.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
Argonaut mine disaster recalls some
what similar accident at another Of the
great California gold mines.
The Argonaut as I recall has Its top
works on the slope of westerly hill
side less than half a mile from the fa-
nous Kennedy mine. which looms with
it's hoisting works about the middle of
picturesque little valley trimmed by
low ridges OF the westerly slopes Of the
Sierra. Both mines have been operated
for more than quarter OF century,
and both ere down about three-quarters
OF a mile on the inclined strata, and
are following the narrow white quartz
ledge that, extending along .he slopes
% the Sierra for about 40 miles, con-
stitutes the so-called mother lode or orig
inal source Of most of the loose gold
found in the lower streams and river
beds OF the northern half OF California.
A few miles to the northwest OF both
the Argonaut and the Kennedy, but
closer to the little town OF Sutter Creek
In It's saucer valley. Is a famous mine
that has long remained Idle. its shaft
cavcd In. \. its surface buildings dilapi-
dated or missing. Several decades ago
a fire IN the timberlng down in that
mine caused the imDrisonmeur and
death OF a group OF miners. and after
that accident the mine was ordered
abandoned by its owner. the late Hetty
Green of New York city. and l think
II still remains unoperated unless Colo
nel Green. her son, made arrangements

respect to the property.
Many of those old California mines

Special Dispatch to TIE NEW YoRK HERALD.
PORTLAND, Ore. Sept. a1.-Obedience
tn the national prohibition law Is urged
In a resolution adopted by the House of
Deputies of the Episcopal convention
this morning and sent to the House of
Bishops for concurrence.
Condemnation Of "mocls marriages.
and tom Thumb weddings and other
parodies OF religious ceremonies and a
tilt over an amendment to the Book of
Common Prayer. which was held by
some OF the Bishops to allow something
OF Mrs. Eddy's doctrines OF healing to
creep into the Episcopal Church, marked
the session OF the Bishops, but chief In
terest centered In the long deadlock be-
tween Bishop T. II. Gailor OF Tennessee
and Bishop Charles II. Brent of Western
New York for the presidency of the
national council. Bishop Gailor was
finally reelected on the seventh ballot.
The prohibition resolution In the
House of Deputies deplores "the growing
tendency of the people to disregard the
iaws-especially the prohibition law"
and urges that the church take a flrm
position for observance Of the law. The
resolution does not put the church on
record as favoring the principle of pro-

ance on the basis of the duty of every
citizen to abide by existing laws.
Bishop Johnson of Missouri launched
the opposition to the amendment of the
prayer for thessick In the Book of Com
mon Prayer, but was voted down. Tho
amendment. which was adopted omits
the clause which prays as an alterna-
tive, In case the patient cannot recover
that he may be given grace to bear his
illness.
in striking out of the prayer hook
this clause" declared Bishop Johnson.
you are striking out of the prayer book
the spirit of Jesus when he prayed.
Nevertheless. not my will but thine be
done
I'VE find It necessary and important
to hold before the mind Of the sick per-
son the idea of health instead of the
Idea OF sickness retorted Bishop Par
sons OF the committee on revision. land
for that reason we have made the
elimination. In great number Of cases
where we are called upon to pray for
the sick there is every reason to expect
them to recover and no occasion to I'M
press upon the mind of the sick person
the idea of the possibility that they may
grow worse sr possibly die"

From the Kansas CITY Star.
My house was merely small and brown.
No house more modest In the town
Before you came.
Its honeysuckle covered porch
And narrow windows where
The friendly hollyhocks looked In
As sat reading there
Let me hear all the secrets gay
The tittering poplar leaves gave way.
But there was naught of special grace
In such an undistinguished place.
Until you cams
And called my habtation fair.
And in its quiet found
Pest from the cares that prodded you
When cities hedged you round;
You liked my flowers. my house. my

And multiplied their power to please
by giving them kinship with you
In all my thoughts and memories too.
I'm glad you came,
For now my modest homo Of brown

Exterminator's Notable Record.

That great ol6 cup horse Exter-
minator capped his season on Wednes-
day by winning, for the third year in
succession, the Autumn Cup Handicap
in Toronto, shouldering 1872 pounds
and running the mile and a quarter
as fast as he ran it in his victory
OF 1921.
When Exterminator won the Sara
toga Cup over the mile and three
quarters course on the closing day
OF the Saratoga meeting he became
the sixth largest money winning
thoroughbred in the world and es-
tablished a record in the way of con-
secutive victories, having won four
races in succession. His latest VIC
tory makes him the fifth greatest
money winner, for he passes the Eng
lish horse Bayardo.
With a trifie more than s230,000 to
his credit. Exterminator is led only
by Man o. War among the thorough
breds of the United States. Man o.
Wars twenty races won as two and
three year old were worth total OF
$249,4 AS he is still sound Exter-
minator, now in his seventh year and
with valuable engagements yet to be
filed, has a chance before he retires
to wrest the laurels from the son of
Fair Play. But even in that event
many persons would still give Man O.
War the greater measure of praise.
Man o. War was beaten only once and
then by a horse to which he after
ward conceded twenty pounds. Ex-
terminator's career has been punctu-
ated with defeats. Man o. War will
always be remembered for the superb
brilliancy Of his performance and
for his ability to run faster and with
less effort than his competitors. Ex-
torminator will nevertheless be cred
tied with representing the dogged
courage and superb bottom Of the
ideal thoroughbred.
