HIS GUIDING GRACE.

God give to me the grace
To fiji with joy the place
ON earth. His guiding love
Assigns to me;
God give to me the grace
TO wear smiling face
Though darkening clouds above
My path / see.
Let not my courage fail
If doubts and pain assail,
or shadows of the grave
Bring sickening fear.
But let my faint heart know
That He the way win show,
That He my soul will save,
And keep me near.
cod give to me the grace
To shun that which is base,
To choose the nobler part
In every hour.
And teach me day by day
How best to light the way,
And give some other heart
Both cheer and power.

Dear Aunt Madge and all NJ. BIS:
To you my mind has turned many
times since our fine reunion, which
was privileged to enjoy this. year,
How sorry to hear of Vashtis death
so soon after, as she seemed so well
and happy to be among us.
| left Bluehill September 6. My first
stop was at Fairfield with my
daughter and family While there
friends gave me an auto ride to
Skowhegan certainly a lovely spot,
On our way, passed the many buildings
of the famous Hinckley school, which
enjoyed. Then those friends took
me to their home in Oakland for over
night The next day we rode all
around the beautiful Belgrade lakes
and up to Norridgewock, one of the
great potato towns of Maine. There
were acres and acres ready to gather
in and send to market.
The 18th of September l started for
Concord, n H., where l visited four
days; was shown by kind friends, who
had an auto, all over the city and
outside of it. too. Visited the state
house, public library, historical build
ing, postotfice, which are all situated
on four corners facing each other.
Had a fine dinner at the noted Eagle
Hotel In going to Penacook and
Boscawan we passed the state prison.
Another place of interest to me was
the barracks where the soldiers
trained; many of the buildings have
been taken down but many of the
large ones are still there with care
takers. Every minute was full Then
/ came to Lexington where | remained
one week; then | had to give up
pleasure for work | still have the
lovely summer to think about.
Now, Aunt Madge, | did not get the
paper telling of your wonderful va
cation, still l learned through a
friend that you made calls on friends
while in Portland. / was pleased to
know you and your John could have
the fine change. / am also glad that
Aunt Marys John is improving.
Kind wishes to all the sick and
shut-ius; may the coming holidays
have many rich blessings in store for
them.

We are always glad to hear from
Ann, and ON reading her letter it al
most seems that We took those
pleasant trips with her.
Thanks for Thanksgiving cards
received from nieces.
Now our thoughts and plans are
turning toward Christmas. To those
who anticipate many pleasures in
connection with the day. there must
be many who realize that the two
or three following weeks mean added
burdens to their customary cares.
| do not mean the persons who are
preparing gifts for others, who are
enjoying placing careful stitches in
articles of use and beauty, and plan
ming with loving thought to make
the holiday season a happy time for
their friends,
1t is the clerks in stores and post
offices, the bearers and carriers of
mailbags on whom the burden of
Christmas falls most heavily. Now
don't say, "Aunt Madge must be get
ting a good ways off from her
usually CHEEKY and hopeful strain
of writing" Oh, no, I'm not, but no
doubt you, as well as l, have read of
the wish OF Uncle Sans helpers that
we wouldn't send so many small
sized envelopes through the mails. as
it takes much more time to stamp
them than it does the average sized
letter envelope, | wondered how
many needed it, Post cards are the
size of average envelopes, l suppose
they could convey our sincere best
wishes as we'll as the more dainty
booklets which we all know are made
in most attractive form

larly called my attention to this sub

Last Christmas at the New York
postoffice our regular vehicles had
to be supplemented by one hundred
and ten trucks, requisitioned from
the army and sixty more hired from
contractors. About two thousand
extra employees were engaged. At
all the stations additional windows
were opened for the sale of stamps,
and tables were placed in the Hobbies

addition, two armories were utilized,
temporary stations were opened in
nineteen schools and many portable
election booths were also made to
serve as auxiliary stations"

Whatever specific form the expert
commission plan may take. the con-
ception Of it's duties held by the
Washington government was clearly
indicated by Mr.. Hughes in his reply
to Lord Curzon. In stating the Amer
lean Willingness to join officially in
an international conference he used
language which, without doubt, ap-
plies equally to the unofficial par
ticipation by American experts in
the advisory commission alternative
to the conference suggestion. He
said:
"Such a conference should be ad-
yisory; not for the purpose of bind
ing governments. who would natur-
ally be unwilling to pledge their ac-
ceptance in advance, but to assure
appropriate recommendations by a
thoroughly informed and impartial
body intent upon the solution of the
difficult pending problems on their

RICHMOND, Va, October 27.-The
United States ship Shenandoah today
visited the valley from which it got
it's name. Sailing serenely along.
the great Navy dirigible passed over
city after city through the heart
time as any fast express train.
Reported passing over Hagerstown,
Md, at II o'clock this morning. the
great aerial warship was next re-
ported over Winchester at exactly
noon, flying slowly and at a low
altitude. Next she reached Harrison
burg in the heart of the Shenan-
doah valley, arriving there shortly

move to have the Public IT'LL
titles Commission and the Potomac
Electric Power Company reach an
agreement on the disputed value of
the company's property was being
discussed with renewed interest last
night after another chapter had been
added to the long legal battle yes
terday by the action of Chief Justice
Mccoy in upholding the contention
of the commission that the District
Supreme Court may proceed to re-
value the power property.
When the United States Supreme
Court held. early in the year. that II
had no Jurisdiction and returned the
case to the District Supreme Court
there was talk of a settlement. but
It did not develop. Instead. the COM
mission went to the District Supreme
Court with a motion that the court
proceed to revalue the property and
the company went in with a motion
that the valuation be declared null
and void.
May Reach Agreement.
Following announcement of JUS
tfce McCoy's decision yesterday, 10
was learned at the District building
that, the advisability of trying to
reach an agreement that would bring
an early end to the litigation would
once more be considered
Not having had an opportunity
yesterday to See the courts opinion,
5. X. Bowen. vice president and coun-
sci Tor the power company, refrained
from discussing possible develop
ments last night, but he said officials
or the company would study the opin-
ion early this week to determine their
next move.
Directs Hearing BE Set.
Chief Justice Mccoy directed that
the case be set for hearing on the
question of revaluation before one
of the justices holding an equity
court. No date has been set, but the
suggestion was made that time be
allowed in which the power company
may take this latest decision to the
Court of Appeals.
The company's contention all
through the fight has been that the
commissions valuation, upon which
the price of current is based, was too
low and the principal point of con-
troversy Is that the commission did
not make adequate allowance for
wartime values in fixing the value
of the property.
1t was agreed last night by per-
sons who have followed develop
ments that there is still a long period
of litigation ahead, unless, of course.
the two sides should reach an agree
ment.

forthwith.
In some quarters it is predicted that
the governor general will appoint men,
bers Of the democratic party to fill the
vacancies, thus reversing the admin
istration policy, which always has been
to appoint members of the opposition
party to Office. ignoring the admin
istration's friends because the admin
istration's friends are already well dis
posed toward American interests, and it
is possible that appointments to Office
will convert opponents"
Before leaving for Mindanao. Governor
General Wood said he anticipated the
designations and would take action on
his return.
Coalitionist leaders said today they
believed Wood would appoint Eulogio
Rodriguez to the senate, as the senate
is steadfast in its refusal to confirm
his appointment as mayor Of Manila.
American newspapers here take the
view that the designations in reality
will strengthen the governor generals
hand.
Plans for sending another independ-
ence mission to the United States have

PUBLIC. GIVEN AID
ON HOME BUDGETS
Bureau of Information Is
Opened in Commercial
National Bank.

Any washingtonian who has at
tempted to make a home budget will
appreciate the free service being
given by the home budget bureau
opened, in the Commercial National
Bank, 14th and G streets, under the
auspices of the Housekeepers' Alli-
ment of the District Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Sitting at a table in the banking
room, Mrs. Edith C. Salisbury daily.
between the hours of 10 am. and
noon, assists those who are anxious
to learn how to make their incomes
fit their expenses, or their expenses
fit their incomes, either way round.
1t is no easy job. in this day and
age. The purpose of the bureau, es-
tablished week ago. is to assist
individuals and groups of home
makers to analyze their personal and
household expenditures in order that
they may live better, save more and
derive a larger degree of satisfaction
from their incomes.
Help Offered Free.
All you got to do is to stop in, see
Mrs. Salisbury. and let her help you
out. Many persons realize that their
money is being spent. but many
haven't the slightest idea where it
goes, or for what it goes.
If that is the case with you. a
budget is what you need. The usual
food, so much for habitation, etc, and.
having done so, daily set down ones
expenses. item by item, keeping with
in the limits set.
Mrs. Salisbury advises those who
consult her to get a cheap notebook
nd MT In
two weeks, then return to her, SO
that an analysis can be made of the
expenditures.
BY this means a fair and equitable
standard may be arrived at for the
salary in question and the leaks"
stopped. 1t is so easy to fritter away
a great deal of money, one scarcely
realizing how much he is spending.
Such a careful check often surprises
one.
Advice Often Welcome.
OF course, this can be done by any
one who is willing to take the trouble
to do it. Often. however, the home
budget maker feels that a little ad-
vice on his budget would be welcome.
For all such and for those to whom
the idea is entirely new, the home
budget bureau offers much.
1T is not easy these days to steer
the family ship through rough seas
of obligations and shoals OF lean in
comes" declared Mrs. F. L. Ransome,
one of the vice presidents of the
Housekeepers' Alliance, discussing
the new bureau.
TT is to strengthen family life for
those who have embarked and are
well on their voyage and to afford a
safe beacon to those just beginning
to make home that this bureau has
been started" she continued.
The home budget committee Of the
alliance Is composed Of Mrs. Cath
crime P. Morse, chairman; Mrs. Will
liam E Chamberlin, Mrs. Edith C.
Salisbury, Mrs. F. L. Ransome, Mrs.
Rashley Bud Chalmers and Mrs. Har-
vey w. Wiley, ex-officio.
Gen. Lord, director of the budget,
is to visit the home budget bureau
