Cabinet TALKS OVER
BIG ECONOMIC POOL

The weekly meeting of the Presi.
dents war cabinet yesterday brought
step nearer the pooling of all eco
nomic resources Of the United States
and allies in the war.
Creation Of a munitions council, with
headquarters at one of the entente
capitals, is one move planned in the
project for welding into a vast mo-
bile machine the entire economic
power of the United States and the
allies to stand back of the unified
military machine.
Under q tentative plan outlined, the
munitions council would be divided
into two parts, food and war material.
On the former would sit representa-
tives of the food ministries of the al
lies and q representative of Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover. On the latter al
lied munitions heads would sit with a
representative of the War Industries
Board.
The cntrol, purchase and distribu-
tion of food, raw material and finished
products needed by the allies would
be centered In the munitions council.

The New Star. =
o the Editor Of The Star:

| To the Editor Of The Star:
In YOUR item of June 10, page o.
| about the new star. the wording OF
the dispatch from Baker misled your
headliner The eclipse in no way re-
| vealed the new star, which was not
discovered on plates undergoing de-
yelopment, but the astronomer evi-
IDENTIFY stopped plate work to look At
the sky and then saw the star.
Except for small part of the
shadow-track, in the western Pacific
ocean, where the sun was not more
than a few hours risen. the new star
was not in the sky while the sun was
eclipsed, but below the horizon.
Had the new star in Aquila blazed
up in exactly the opposite part of the
Milky Way, that is, near Orion or
detected through the eclipse on
Photographic plate, or more likely by
naked eye or field glass. Instead the
star is nearly opposite the sun, and is
very near the south pole. where it is
below or too near the horizon. and
near or north of the Arctic circle,
where there is now no night deserv-
ing the name.
The star is practically on the
equator. like the sun at the equinox.
1t rises due east about 9 pm. With a
fair eastward outlook and with no
very bright nghtS IN tnat ulrectlon any.
one can easily see it before 10 O'Clock
and still more easily afterward. 70
On Saturday night, when discovered. 4
the star was estimated about midway !
between magnitudes and !. By SUM-
day night it had increased to magni-s
tude or somewhat brighter. Last
night clouds prevented good esti-
mate, but the star seemed to have
lost a little and to be not much above
even first magnitude. There is now
very slight prospect the star will be
visible in daylight, for that requires
brightness about 8 or magnitudes
more than the Sunday night bright
ness.
The maximum for this star was
about the same as for the 1901 star,
and if 1t follows a similar course 1t
will fade till hard to see with naked
eve in a month or six weeks from
now. Only two stars of this kind
those of 1872 and 1904, are well re-
corded as, reaching much greater
than the stars of 1901 and
1915, H. c. HUNTER.

Mr.. Hege is assuring tenants, how
ever, that they can in all safety rent
furnished rooms to war workers
without fear of eviction on the sub
letting clause. This assurance, 1t is
expected. will result in the listing of
scores of new rooms at the registra-
tion office, 1921 New York avenue.
Although the Salisbury law gives
protection to roomers as we'll as house
tenants who are ordered to vacate or
whose rent Is increased, no such

LEASE NOT BROKEN
BY TAKING LODGER
Edwin S. Hege Answers In
quiries as to Status Under
"SubIetting" Clauses.

Does a tenant who rents a room
which Is usually included in landlord
leases and render himself liable to
eviction for breaking the agreement?
This question has been put to off,
cials of the room registration office
of the District Council of Defense by
Washingtonians who desire to re-
spond to the governments appeal to
take in a war worker, but who have
been fearful of breaking the sub
letting clause in their rental agree
ments.
Hege Gives Opinion.
Edwin S. Hege, in charge of the
room registration office. made In
quiries on the subject. He said today
that from what he has been able to
learn tenants are perfectly safe in
renting rooms without fear of vio-
lating the subletting contract.
Lawyers pointed out that person
who rents furnished rooms is only an
innkeeper as far as subletting is con-
cerned. In cases where two or three
rooms of a house are rented by the
tenant to another party for light
the bar say there is chance that the
tenant would be violating the sublet-
ting clause in rental agreements
In these cases, it was pointed out,
the tenant relinquishes all control of
the part of the building occupied by
the light housekeeper. Cases where
rooms are rented unfurnished and the
roomer brings his own furniture into
the premises also might be considered
as violations of the subletting clause,
according to lawyers.

Washington will be represented in
the big Red Cross golf match to be
held Saturday at the Columbia Coun-
try Club by Fred Mcleod. the diminu-
tive professional golfer at the Colum-
bia club. Our own Freddie" one Of
the most popular pros in the ranks, is
former holder of the American open
championship and will pair with
Amateur and Open Champion Charles
Evans, jr., against Jim Barnes Of
Broadmoor and Walter c. Hagen of
Rochester, N. Y.
Possibly the smallest player among
the professional golfers of America,
with the exceptions Of Nipper Camp
bell and Wilfred Reid, Mcleod is one
of the most accurate players in the
land. He weighs but lis pounds
when in his best condition. His short
drive, which, by the way, is not SO
very far back Of such big fellows as
Barnes. is made up by the delicacy
and sweetness of his iron shots.
Long Iron Shots His Speciality.
Long iron shots are his specially,
and when Fred takes his mfdiron
out of his bag to reach the green
$50 or 200 yards away it is a safe
bet that the ball will be near the
hole or thereabouts. Like most fine
players, Fred has streaks of bad put
ting.
Last year was his worst on the
putting green, as for a stretch. of
three months his bug-a-boo was the
short one, from six feet down. This
year he has been performing better
on the putting. greens, as is evidenced
by two scores of O. which he has
turned in, a thing never before done
over the Columbia course

AMERICANS TO BRING
 FOREIGN WIVES HOME

With the American Army in Eng land.-When the American army re- turns to the United States there will go with it, or at about the same time, many women who. though Brit ish born, have become American citizens. They have married Ameri- can soldiers and the indications are that their example will be followed by many others.
 Marriage of men while in the ser vice is not regarded with favor, either by the war department of by officers at headquarters in England, but consent to a wedding has been given in more than one camp.
 So far the marriages have been between the English girls and the enlisted men, and in some cases the bride has worn the uniform of one of the many women's auxiliary corps of the British army. In such cases the girl has continued in the service of her country and the good-byes when orders have come for moving have included the expression of the hope that they may "see each other in France"

 The club rooms were tastefully decorated for the occasion and re- treatments were served during the course of the dance The best music obtainable in Nenana largely contributed to the evenings enjoy ment.
 It is quite probable that the mem bership of the club will repeat these dances occasionally during the com ing winter season. *".
