Again--the Sea Nettles.

Secretary Tckes has closed his busy
desk and left Washington for a well
deserved vacation. But even his best
friends can express justified sorrow
that he has gone away without doing
anything really destructive about the
sea nettles Of chesapeake Bay, its
tributaries and It's estuaries. 1t is
true that nobody has asked Secretary
Ickes to undertake this problem-but
II is obvious to anybody who has been
stung by a nettle Ge34 model that
it is just the sort Of broad, human
undertaking that ought to appeal to
the able public works administrator
imagination.
Something. asSuredly, ought TO be
done. At least there ought to be a
law. For the sea nettles Of Chesa-
peake Bay have actually fattened on
this depression, although they were
bad enough, goodness knows. during
the days of the boom. Sea nettle
connoisseurs report that those now
attacking bathers In large numbers
at beach resorts are not only larger.
but more vindictive than those OF
past seasons. 1t may have been the
ice. There was so much ice on the
bay last Winter that people who pay
attention to such important matters
evolved the theory with the declara-
tion that If it failed they would be
the first to admit it) that the nettles
might be frozen to death, or cut them
selves on the ice, or otherwise be
damaged so that they would not
appear this Summer. But the nettles
obviously heard about the theory and
rapidly exploded it. They apparently
love nothing better than ice in the
Winter, unless it is hurricanes in
August-another move on the part of
the elements last year that observers
hoped would discourage the sea
nettles.
But the ice and last Summers
hurricane were total failures. The
nettles are worse than ever. The prob
lem is plainly up to the Public Works
Administration, unless the A. A. A.
can be persuaded that here is perfect
example of oVerproduction that calls
for immediate action.

Accident Records Belle
Promises of Repealists
70 the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
The alarming increase In trafic
accidents due to drunken driving, the
large number OF arrests for drunken-
ness, and the latest figures from our
hospitals showing increases of from
90 per cent to IS per cent in the
number of patients admitted for
treatment for acute alcoholism,
coupled with the big decrease in the
amount of revenue, which it was
claimed would be derived from the
sale of liquors, seems to indicate that
the public has been fooled again.
since it was predicted-even prom
lsed-in Congress, in portion of the
press, and otherwise that such things
would not happen with the return Of
legal liquor.
l must confess that I was one Of
the non drinking boobs who voted for
my State to do its part to repeal the
eighteenth amendment, but / would
never do 1t again. In fact, I am
grinding my ak. preparatory to elec-
Con day, for my Congressman who

claims: 'How long Germany will toll
crate the leadership of Hitler Is a
matter Of the length Of German
patience" The Grand Rapids Herald
believes: Despite his brave speech
and the convenient methods of the
purge it is not at all certain that
Herr Hitler has seen the last OF the
threat against his power. Develop
ments Of the last two weeks are
bound to have serious repercussions in
the rather desperate economic situa-
ton in the Reich. Employment is
steadily ebbing, the harvest will fall
far below normal, particularly pota-
toes, which are an important staple
for the German table, and the finan-
cial structure of the Reich is none
too strong. If dictator cannot feed
his people he must expect angry
thousands at his heels"
The Indianapolis Star concludes
that 'the fact that the chancellor
ignored every vital foreign issue made
his declaration an anti-climax for
foreign consumption"

Americas New Forest. y

windbreaks of trees have been
planted from time immemorial and
there are regions in Southern Europe
where semi-arid, windSwept land has
been made fit for cultivation Of
vineyards. especially, by systematic
tree planting. But nothing in the
wide world has ever been attempted
on the scale envisioned by the Sec
retary of Agriculture'S announcement
of the Midwest project, approved by
the President, where some SIS, 900 900
is to be spent in years to come plant
ing a windbreak of trees hundred
miles wide and a thousand miles long
The thought of such an undertaking
is enough to stimulate the imagination
to looking forward half a century
hence. when this New Forest" OF
America will have become one of
the Nations landmarks.
The theory of this greatest of wind
breaks. cutting the continent in half
by a belt of trees, is that the force OF
the wind across the great plains will
be moderated, moisture will be con-
served and the loss of land and crops
from the combination of wind and
drought will be decreased. In the
meantime. there is furnished an i'm
mediate supply Of employment for
farmers Of a great area so sadly
stricken by the drought. 1t is esti-
mated that ninety per cent OF the
money spent will be paid in wages 10
farmers whose labor will be utilized.

Democratic Speakers
Need to Be Controlled
To the Editor of The Star:

Some one ought to advise Mr..
Michaelson to get his Democratic
speechmakers under better control.
Sooner or later Truth will catch up
with them and give them the spank
ings they deserve.
Tuesday night Senator Tydings
added his to the numerous references
heretofore made on the subject Of the
bank holiday of 1898, giving applause
to the President and comparing pres
ent times with those unhappy days.
Such references are so shrewd but
so shallow. They proceed out Of the
assumption that American voters must
have forgotten events which led up
to the bank holiday and made it
necessary. They assume we do not
know that banks closed because of
Withdrawals of deposits; that with
drawals resulted from fear. and that
fear developed in the darkness of
doubt and uncertainty promoted by
Mr. F. D. Roosevelt, who declined TO
cooperate with Mr.. Hoover in attacks
upon problems arising after Novem-
ber 8, 1882.
The f1ippant statement of the then
President-elect concerning the Euro
pean debt problem, "It's not our baby" I"
was only a part of an absolute refusal
on his part to enlighten the country
as to policies and programs to be
eSpoused and initiated subsequent to
March 4, 1888.
On October 81, 1892, speaking at st.
Louis, Mr.. Roosevelt appraised tenn
porary improvement in business as an
evidence of public confidence in DEM
ocratic victory. Yet the election 10
days later brought nothing but dis
couragement to trade and commerce,
which sank lower and lower there
after. Why?
Simply because no one knew what
to expect from the new administra-
ton; simply because the future was
clouded in doubt and uncertainty;
simply because the people sensed, If
they did not know, that Mr.. Roosevelt
could not Withstand the pressure of
the monetary quacks who had so
aroently advocated his election; simply
because Mr.. Roosevelt himself gave
the country no assurance that sound
and sure financial plans would mark
the advent of the new deal.
OF course, everybody applauded the
bank holiday. No Republican or other
opponent of the administration has
criticized it. But what pity that it
became necessary! And more the pity
that subsequent events have justified
the fears that brought it onl How
unenviable the position of Senator
Glass, who assured the country in
October, 1882. that monetary expert
ment would not eventuate, and now
is forced to assert that the new deal
is more than mistake; it is disgrace

Proper feeding OF tropical fishes
block Of the beginner IN this interest
ing svocation.
On the one hand he is told that
live food is best. on the other he is
offered a large variety of prepared
dry foods in cans and paper cartons.
He is told that there is danger in
introducing parasites into his aqua
rum when he uses the various live
foods" which are, Of course, simply
forms Of aquatic life smaller than

danger TO run, and very inconvenient,

Gates that it be fed exclusively
Then he reads somewhere that a

Hope springs eternal in the human

the person engaged in diet expert
mentation on himself.
1t may be realized that when he
attempts to discover which is best of
variety Of foods fed small denizens
Of the home aquarium he is faced
with a problem in determination
which might give a scientist pause.
The beginner probably will use dry
foods, and the chances are that he
will use too much of them.
Not only will the fishes be injured
by too much food, but, what is in a
sense worse, the water will be fouled.
The latter is the first stumbling
block to be overcome by the amateur.
He must determine upon two things:
/. How much TO feed.
2. What to feed
And he will have to determine It
for himself, for each food manu-
facturer naturally boosts his own. and
the aquatic magazines find it difficult
to take sides.
Hence the beginning squarist, or
aquariculturist, must make up his
mind to go it alone.
He must realize that most be-
ginners feed far more than the fishes
will eat, and the remainder tends to
spoil the water.
This absorption of organic matter
by the limited amount of water in
which the fishes are kept tends to
cut down on the oxygen in the water
and thus on the appetite of the fishes
A vicious circle is set up, in which
the poor fishes are the victims.
X 4 r n
1t is generally agreed that fishes
in the home aquarium should be fed
as much as they will eat in 10
minutes. but whether this "10 minutes
worth" is once day or several times
day there is difference OF
opinion. 1t means that if the fish
are fed once they should be per-
mitted to eat for 10 minutes. If
fed twice, for minutes each period.
If three times, for 3b minutes each
time; If five times, for minutes
each time.
One feeding in the morning is
widely advocated, mostly because it
best meets the needs of the feeder,
not of the creatures fed. Such a
program is more convenient. Old
experience hands, however, are COM

Economic Clock Tinker
Should Take Long Rest
be the Edltor q rhe SOC:

To the Editor OF The star;
The alleged threat OF the Washing
ton apartment house owners and man
ayers 20 raise rents In the near future
Is raising quite q furor. The proposal.
IL serious. has q very grave aspect and
carries q very definite promise of
hardship to thousands Of renters. The
situation also has Its amusing side.
II is funny to hear some Of the new
dealers and N. r. A. exponents, disre-
garding the fact that they are COM
hitting lese maieste. Just plain yelp.
Why IN the world should they yelp
when they know that the object of the
N. r. A. is to raise the price Of every
thing? This major operation on their
pocketbooks, II put into effect. Is going
to pinch like the devil. To give them
credit, We have to admit that some Of
them are trying to act sporty and
nonchalant about the matter. They
are trying to grin about 1t. 1t reminds
me Of a man I once saw bet, while in
his cups, that he could eat 10 pounds
Of tripe. After consuming five pounds
of tripe he was still grinning. but 1t
was evident to the most casual on
locker that he had a sufficiency OF
tripe. 1t sobered him up, too.
When I was q small child one OF
my favorite playthings was an old
clock. On rainy days would take
the clock apart and try to reassemble
1t. I was laboring under the fond
delusion that I could make that clock
run. Unfortunately, I always had
xxFha laf
after I got the clock together. I just
didn't know about clocks. One day.
in a fit OF temper, I threw the clock
down the we'll. After drowning the
clock everybody around the house,
myself included. was much happier.
N. r. A. killed the pigs and wasted
them by the thousands and the net
result of this experiment is that the
farmers are still getting around 5
cents a pound for their hogs, while
the consumer is paying from 27 to 80
cents a pound for bacon. Suostan-
TALLY the same thing holds true for
beef. have selected this one example
from dozens where the consumer gets

clock Just does not run. For all any
of us have been shown to the con-
trary, that silly maneuver was de-

know Of no one else who profits by It.
Unless the consumer is given some pro-
lection from these pirates in the very
near future there is going to be a day
of reckoning. 1t will come on election
day, when the administration will be
faced by the realization that for every
meat packer and chain store owner
who casts ballot there will be 10000
bacon and beef eaters voting. They
tell me that votes are still winning
elections.
And now for the constructive sug-
gestion that is always demanded by
the N. r. A. beneflciaries: For
heavens sake, let these inexperienced
theoretical economic clock tinkerers
keep their hands of business and in
dustry for at least year and give
them a chance to work out their own
problems In their own way. In other
words, throw the darn clock in the
we'll and everybody will breathe easier
