Just Common Folks.

TWO of Great Britain's most charming and en-
tertaining citizens. visited Washington last
week-A. Conan Doyle and Lady Astor
Both made good impression because they
were such intensely human folks. If there is any
knship between England and the United States it
is embodied in such personalities.
Neither belongs among the very distinguished
and unapproachable people who come to US from
across the and then. Both possess
all the essentials of American democracy A new
insight into British character is obtained by talk
ing with them.
Take Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for example.
Private opinion decidedly is divided as to the
truth usefulness Of his doctrines Some are
certain he is ahead of his time while others be-
eve that, with all his sincerity, he has been i'm
went away with distinct liking for the man him
self He leaves with the people the memory OF his
own character rather than much clearer under
standing of spritualism.
Lady Astors case is much the same While
she has been in America she has taken advantage
Of woman's privilege to talk upon many things.
Some disagree with her. On one or two occasions
she has drawn rather sharp replies But of the
charming personality of the woman there is no
question. She makes enduring friends out of peo-
pie who disagree with her the most
The same holds true of both Lady Doyle and
Lord Astor. They both made nearly as many
friends their>more distinguished companions in
life.
Such visitors as these the Capital is glad to
receive and make welcome, whatever their nation
ality whatever doctrines they preach. They
stand lightly upon their titles and fame. They
are just common folks like the rest of u.s. We
need them more often.

Beauty in Women.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The slande.r of our girls over the
signature of Mr." F. B. A does
not ring true as coming from a
man. No man would or could have
penned such an attack on young
women whose offense in the eyes
of this alleged male is the effort to
be beautiful. Misdirected and mis-
taken as some of the means used,
chiefly the paint, the intent justi-
fies them all.
1t is the heaven-inspired primal
urGe-a part of the plan divine.
Justice, Love. Beauty are the three
basic principles of progressive
CT cieation and each living creature,
in the light that is given it, does
Its best to further the divine pur-
pose. 1t is the plain duty of every
intelligent being to foster Beauty.
Love, Justice, and every effort in
this direction-even II pitifuIly
misdirected. is laudable. We can
not all be. artists, but all are doing
their best and deserve appreciation
when they do well and sympathv
and charity where they fall short
OF complete success. Never before
nave women dressed so saneIy and
So attractively as now.

ID ENEFITS of the thirty-minute parking rule
ID congested business streets of Washing
ton not unmixed with injustice.
number of street business men who motor
to their offices each day are convinced, just at
present that the regulation is a nuisanee-at least
to themselves
They declare that parking congestion in the
street has not been relieved despite the personal
inconvenience to which they have been put. They
now are obliged to leave their several blocks
from their offices. Even then they must change
the position every two hours to comply with the
law The alleys between F and C streets which
they once used closed altogether for pas
senger automobiles.
But say the irate business men, they could
endure all this it not for new and aggra-
waiting situation that has to pass. Where
once their own machines stood beside the curb,
filling all available space, other cars now stand
filled with young pleasure bent. Around
each car gathered number of pretty young
things, laughing and powdering their noses. Every
now and then girl will get into car, sit
in young mans lap, and away they will go.
Almost instantly another automobile of the same
type will edge into the vacant parking space.
Sometimes will remain in the same posi-
ton for several hours, say observers The occu-
pants safe from arrest while they are in tho
machine and have only to move If policeman
speaks to them.
Reputable, tax-paying citizens have been I'M
posed upon for the benefit of these worthless loaf
ers" said one leading business man Saturday after
noon as Ne glanced out of his office window.
Traffic docs not benefit in the least The thirty
minute rule should be done away with entirely or
some means found to drive such folks from the
streets"
The speaker, perhaps, was hot-headed and
impctuous man. But many of his companions in
misery declare that he is right. They believe the
trainers of the new regulations failed to take many
possible results into consideration.
The Districts traffic code still is in an
experimental stage. 1t would be rash to expect
perfect results from the first. But it must be
kept elastic. If of improvement are found
room must be available for their application.

Court columns, particularly that
portion wherein l attempted to set
forth some of the inequities of the

comeback by means of rehabili-
tation and vocational training. I
wish to say further that any legis-
lation which now attempts to pay
ablebodied men a bonus" is di-
minishing to that extent the bene-
fits that ultimately should go to
the real veterans of the war, the
men who risked their lives and
stood between you and 1 and Prus-

no paid propaganda to bear evil

The ''Sales Tax"

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
1t seems to me that tho sales tax
is worthy of a place in the Open
Court, which is the fairest peoples
forum l have ever seen.
All true Americans want this ma
ton to advance and to meet its OBJ
legations. We all are willing to
bear our share of the taxes only
we want the taxes collected in the
least painful way.
We would rather tell Jones that
we. bought a $50 suit than that we
had bought a SIS suit and paid SIS
tax to the government, even
though we knew that half the
price Of the suit was due TO tariff
The taxes Of whatever kind or
name are all paid by the consumer.
Then why are not all taxes on
goods "sales taXes?" We believe
that they are. and to add another
tax TO be collected by the retail
dealer is putting the responsible
duty of tax collector upon a very
irresponsible person.
Does the majority of retail deal
ers of your acquaintance appeal to
you as a class of men who will
give Uncle Sam a square deal any
quicker than he will to you?
Do you want as your agent as
tax gatherer a man who will mark
$50 suit up to $50 and then come
down to $50 because il is you or
because of a removal sale" etc. :?
Capitalists who amassed great
wealth during the war are very
anxious TO shift the burden of tax
alton upon the poor man who is
forced to buy many things for his
family and to keep up and improve
his home.
The sales tax" as I understand
IL would make the man who is
least able pay the most tax, and
would give the retail dealer a good
chance TO purloin much of it be-
side.
1 wonder IL retail dealers wouId
be so keen for a sales tax 81 thew
were forced TO keep a bookkeeper
erected by the people whose salary
was a certain per cent of the tax
reported On sales made in his
store. l hope the readers OF the
open Court will point out all the
FAULTY reasoning in this article ano

A Champion for Simonds.

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
A letter in regard to the articles
by Frank II. Simonds published in
The Herald of April "a has the
statement: such stuff should be
left out of the papers" The articles
referred to have been the most in
teresting ones written on European
affairs and almost the only ones
that do anything like justice to
France. l wish such stun" were
seen in all American papers instead
of the unjust criticism of France
that Is blazoned forth from every
sheet. These articles are logical
and reasonable-do not demand
that France. with its country over
run and pillsged twice within fifty
years by German hordes. shall
leave its borders unprotected for a
new invasion: nor do they demand
that France shall forget what 1t
has learned by bitter experience
and trust the Germans to keep
promises after their scraps of pa
per-" as they termed solemn treat
les with Belgium.
Mr.. Simonds' articles some time
ago pointed out the fact that
France is only standing by the
Versailles treaty. why did the
other countries sign it and have
Germany sign it if they did not
expect its provisions to be en-
forced? What shadow OF justice is
there in English and American pa
pers raising such hue and cry
against France. calling 1t militar-
istic and finperialistic when it feels
forced to keep troops in arms for
the protection of its country and
ships and submarines to insure, IL
necessary, free communication with
its colonial possessions and trans
rort from them of troops and food:
and when 1t wishes the treaty of
Versailles enforced and Germany
made to pay reparations for some
of the wanton destruction by its
invading troops-coal mines food
ed, orchards and forests all cut
down in Northern France. villages
burned, machinery in factories and
mines carried off or broken, etc
untouched by the war, no recon
struction necessary for their agri-
cultural lands. factories and viii

In 1871 Germany imposed a huge
indemnity on France and occupied
that country until the indemnity
was paid, although it was French
territory. not German, that was in
jured during that war. 1t is simple
justice now that Germany should
pay for the damage It wrought.
England's attitude of letting Ger
many off is one of self-interest.
