If Harry Greb had been in the ring

IF Mack gets the pennant sewed up he
may give his big left handler a rest

steam could bring back the old days OF
Matty, johnson, Walsh and Alexander,
who could turn in 80 or more victories

they all work on even terms. Which Is

S. Recognition of the friendly ad.

This last point is one long emphasized
by w. Randolph Montgomery, Of coun-
sci for the National Association of
Credit Men, who has pointed out that as
practically all friendly adjustments are
based upon some form of common law
assignment for the benefit of creditors
and the bankruptcy law defines en-
assignment as an act Of bankruptcy,
the friendly system is at the mercy
of any creditor who may throw into
bankruptcy any case In which the
majority of the creditors may prefer
settlement out of court.

which are In financial difnculties has

and the vast saving in costs Of handling

creditors, forms. sharp contrast to
many cases which are handled under

der the practice in most Jurisdictions is
equivalent to as per cent of the assets.

houses of Congress will receive volumin.

the world in terms Of beauty. To the
mind of St. Paul, the beholding Of Gods
glory effected In us not only reverence
for the Creator, but a gradual change
in our own nature from glory to
glory" To contemplate that which Is
beautiful must, little by little, produce
In us some of the splendor OF that
the sensitive plates In a camera. We
expose them to that which is fine and
beautiful and we come at length to
have within us permanent impressions
that transform and enrich our lives.
After all, open face beholding," which
implies an open and receptive mind, Is
utterly indispensable to right appre-
hension of Gods designs and purposes.
There are those who pass through life
with closed minds. They refuse to ac-
knowledge fresh disclosures OF truth
and beauty; they literally close the
doors of the soul against new revela-
tions OF Gods goodness. To keep the
mind open and sensitive to each new
manifestation Of God means to renew
life and deepen faith. To acquire
knowledge, to gain distinction, wealth
or power, all this may be laudable, but
to gain these at the expense OF the soul
Is to miss LIES highest fulfillment.
Those are pregnant words OF the Mas

chief end Of life Is to grow a soul"

TO fail of the high purpose OF life.
Experience and observation have made
clear to US that those natures that are
the most beautiful and the most APP
pealing are inevitably those that, "be-
holding the glory of the Lord" come to
reflect in their own lives that which
suggests the divine. There are natures
that are truly Godlike. that year by

The Traffic Report.

In his annual report as director of
trafic, Mr.. Harland reiterates q demand
for additional laws TO guarantee A.
nancial responsibility Of some sort on
the part of automobile drivers and to
make q certificate Of title necessary to
establish ownership Of an automobile
He also questions again the feasibility
Of law which imposes q mandatory
jail sentence for third offenses and wants
revision Of the trafic code to enable
him to bar from Washington streets
drivers whose local permits have been
revoked, but who obtain permits to
drive in other jurisdictions. These
recommendations for new laws and re-
visions are sound and 1t Is to be hoped
that the Commissioners and Congress
will find time to act upon them.
Mr.. Harland also wants 5000 q year
for an annual trafic survey, maintain
ing that 1t would help his ONCE and the
various organizations concerned with
planning for Washington's growth.
This survey, it Is understood, would deal
form the basis of decisions regarding
trafic rule changes, the installation
Of signal lights and other such matters.
Mr.. Harland will be given an opportu-
nifty to explain the merits Of this pro-
posal to the appropriations committees.
Another part Of the report takes up
the questions Of all-night parking. park
ing in the congested area, angle park
ing and changes in the method Of max.
ing left-hand turns. The sum total
Of the traffic directors recommendation
here is that the conditions must be
studied carefully and receive continued
attention before anything is done. Care
fully considering these problems Is
about all that the trafIic directors ONCE
has been doing for several years now
and q decision on some OF them would
be more enlightening than the informA.
ton that they must be further studied.
The hearings before Senator Hastings
subcommittee Of the District committee
may give Mr.. Harland q chance to tell
what he has learned from his con.
tinued study In the past.

Water Financing Policy.

The Water Departments five-year ex-
tension program, now In course Of
preparation, will be incomplete and
relatively of small value to the people
of the District unless 1t contemplates
as thorough study Of the financial Sys.
TEN that supports 1t as it does OF the
number, size and location OF new mains,
fire MIGRANTS and other such equipment.
The tive-year program is q financial
program, taking into account the money
that will be needed from year to year
as the local distribution system is ex.
tended and improved. But existing law
restricts the source of that water rev.
enue to assessments for new mains and
water taxes. If more money Is needed
the only way to raise 1t, under existing
policy, is to increase water rents. Water
rents are already too high.
The Commissioners, assisted by Au-
ditor Donovan, should show in their
study Of the future needs Of the water
Department the ultimate results to be
expected through continuation Of the
present policy of financing Water De-
partment extensions. In the past the
policy has increased the cost Of water a.

tern the less will be his individual re-

cleverly manipulated expense accounts
to foist burden, in which it should
share, to the shoulders Of water con-
sumers in the District. It started
by building and. maintaining the
first water supply system and sell.
ing surplus water to individual users
in the District. Then 1t improved
and extended this system, calling
upon realty and personally taxpay-
ers in the District to share equally
in the expense OF the rev plant. Finally
1t decreased its own proportionate con-
tributions, increased District realty and
personally taxpayers contributions In
building the supply system and showed
the entire burden Of maintaining both
supply and distribution systems, and of
Improving and extending the latter, to
the shoulders OF water taxpayers.
These water taxpayers now pay the
cost of water delivered in their homes.
But in addition they pay the cost Of the
water supplied to the Federal and mu-
nicipal governments, and they pay the
cost OF laying new trunk lines needed
with the growth Of the Federal city.
The cost of water-plant extensions and
development has been shifted from q
national charge, with the District as a
small contributor, to District general
tax charge. with the Nation small
contributor, and finally to q District
water tax and assessment charge, with
free water for the National Govern.
ment.
The cost Of plant extensions and
wider water distribution should be borne
primarily by the new users Of water for
whose benefit the extensions are made.
Whenever additional contributions are
necessary, the cost Of water-plant ex-
tension should be paid from the gen.
eral fund-taxes on realty and per-
sonalty-with the Nation contributing,
and should not be thrown wholly or In
part upon the present water taxpayers.
The tendency OF greater use Of the
water plant, Of wider distribution and
Of increased numbers Of water taxpay-
ers should be to decrease and not to
increase the cost Of water.
The Commissioners should make their
proposed nve-year extension program
an occasion to emphasize the need Of
correcting an unfair and illogically con-
ceived financial policy. They should use
their influence to change 1t.

Ambassador at the Court Of ct. James,
Charles q. Dawes, and OF Premier RAM
say Macdonald have been successful in
bringing about q preliminary UNDER
standing with regard to cruisers and to
the question Of naval parity between the
two countries.
The announcement Of an approaching
accord between America and Britain
and of q call for q new conference,
probably to be held In December, has
been welcomed in official circles in
France, Italy and Japan, where salts
faction is expressed at the progress
made. Doubtless these nations will
accept an invitation to meet with the
United States and Great Britain in a
naval conference. 1t remains to be
seen whether the old questions Of
adequate national defense, which occu-
pied the minds Of the French delega-
ton to the Washington conference seven
years ago; have been solved or softened
by time. It is one thing to get an
accord between the British and the
Americans on cruisers and other naval
craft. 1t is another to bring all Ave Of
these nations into line.
The influence of world opinion, the
desire to make peace permanent, will
doubtless have their bearing on what
happens after the nations 30 into con.
ference. None will relish charge that
its attitude has brought another failure.
The groundwork for the naval con-
ference, which must be laid long in
advance Of the meeting of the delegates,
Is OF tremendous importance. It Is q
matter Of congratulation that so much
along this line has already been accom-
plished between the British and the
American governments. But the others
and their attitude must be considered
with equal seriousness, If there is to be
final accord, and the work which was
launched first In Washington in 1921 "a
shall finally be accomplished.
Washington was the host of the
nations at the FIRST naval limitation
conference. The Capital of the United
States would gladly welcome them
again to another and supplementary
conference. In some quarters, however,
it has been suggested that Londorf
should be the scene for the coming
meeting Of the nations on naval limita-
ton. In q measure. London is entitled
to the conference. both because of the
favorable attitude early assumed by
the present British government and
because-as it was in the case Of the
United States in 1S2I-it Ia Britain
which is now called upon to make
concessions in the matter Of naval
armament.
