BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

A reader can get the ansUer to
any question OF toct by Drittng The
Washington Epentno Star Information
Bureau, Frederic J. Hdskin, Director,
washington, d. c. Please inclose
stamp for reply.
@. Does a long radio aerial take
more current than q shorter one?
Does 1t take more current when the
radio is loud?-S. j. l..
A. A radio does not use current
according TO the length Of Its aerial;
neither does a radio use more cur
rent when the volume control is on
full.
@. Does it take longer to count
old currency than to count new
bills?-W. H.
A. The expert counters Of the
Treasury have counted approximately
as many as 10000 new notes a day
and $4,000 old notes.
@. Where Is the phrase II smell
a rat" found?-J. F. L.
A. The phrase is found in "The
Family Of Love-" act ~. scene 2, by
Middleton; in The Tale of a Tub"
by Jonson, and 1t also is in "Hudibras," !"
by Butler.
@. How long has Alphonse Capone
been imprisoned?-S. P.
A. He was sentenced for II years
for evasion of the income tax in
May, 1880.
@. Please give some arguments
against bicameral legislatures.-J. G..
A. Bentham, on The Theory Of
Second Chambers" suggests the fol-
lowing: If it represents the general
interest, then it's useless, because
the first house does that-if it rep
resents only a particular interest. it
is mischievous. The origin of the
two houses in England was due to
the fact that small portion of the
population was set aside for special
favors. Two chambers delay uselessly
the legislative process. Two houses
might frequently nullify rule of ma
Jority-paSS one house overwhelm-
ingly and be defeated in the other
by one vote.
@. When Is discharge without
honor given in the Army?-M. McF.
A. 1t is given when the service
of the soldier has not been honest
and faithful and when a character
Of fair or poor is given, and for which
a dishonorable discharge cannSs be
given.
@. How large is the table in the
reception room of the executive Offices
of the White House?-W. F.
A. 1t has a diameter of 1912 feet.
1t is made Of Philippine hardwoods
and was presented by Aguinaldo on
behalf of the Philippine government
ostensibly for use as cabinet table.
@, Does dry cleaning kill germs?-
w. F.
A. Proper dry cleaning followed
by pressing kills practically all germs
except few very rare and vicious
microbes.
@. What was the philosophy of I'M
manuel Kant?-K. A.
A. He taught that the data of ex-
perience can be perceived, and thought
can be carried on, only in certain
ways determined by the inherent ma
ture of the mind. so that ultimately
the mind determines the form of our
universe and of our thought processes.
Further. that though no proof can be
given of the existence of mind or of
God, Of freedom Of the will, or of
Immortality, these are necessary as
sumptions If there is to be either ex-
perience or thought. This teaching
constitutes the beginning of the So
called critical philosophy.
@. How large do the turtles known
as leatherbacks grow?-L. T.
A. These sea turtles often weigh
over 1000 pounds.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Merry Springtime.
'Tis Springtime with a song of May
Mid blossoms bringing cheer.
But more than this we're glad to say
It's radio time all year.
The robin sweet. the chattering jay
In ecstasy we hear,
But more than this is on the way
It's radio time all year.
The feathered songsters cease their
lay,
But JOY will persevere
AS we proclaim in accents gay
It's radio time all yearI

Eurone VS.. Hitler.

Events destined to have far-reaching
effects on the issue of peace or war in
Europe marched rapidly on many
fronts yesterday. While Hitler's air
minister, Gen. Goering, was boasting
about the invincibility Of Germany's
air force against any combination"
and gloating over the Nazis' achieve
ment in secretly creating it, in brazen
violation of the treaty of Versailles,
concrete action was taken in London
and Paris to fortify Europe against the
menace offered by German rearma-
ment.
In the midst of plea for collective
peace efforts and a renewed invitation
to the Reich to join them, Prime
Minister Macdonald notified the House
of Commons that the government Is
already taking steps to see that Brit
aims air force is kept the equal Of any.
Substantial budget increases are in
prospect to that end. Assailing Ger
many's provocative plans, the peace
loving Macdonald declared that "un-
der no circumstances would Britain
accept any position of inferiority to
whatever air force may be raised by
Germany in the future" The prime
minister intimated that Hitler's sub
marine fleet is also a subject which is
engaging the governments attention.
Anglo German naval talks will shortly
be held in London. Nazi representa-
tives face plain speaking by their
British hosts.
In Paris measures Of even more
direct bearing on Germany's threat to
peace were taken. France and Soviet
Russia initiated pact of mutual as
sistance, which in effect is military
alliance against German aggression.
For all practical purposes the agree
ment restores the pre-war Franco
Russian alliance. About the only diff
ference is that the new treaty provides
for consultation under the League
covenant in case of an attack. If
Geneva is unable to reach unani-
nous decision, France and the Soviet
will go to each others aid without
further ado. They will resort to joint
economic and financial penalties. as
well as military measures.
A noteworthy feature of the pact is
that it is confined to Europe. The
French won for themselves the pro-
vision which excludes the possibility
of France becoming embroiled in q
Russo-Japanese conflict. The Soviet
battled to the last for a compact with
out geographical limitation, but finally
assented to a purely Western arrange
ment.
Virtually there is now created a
four-power. front against Germany,
since France holds guarantees OF
Great Britain and Italy under the Lo-
carno treaty. France Is still further
bulwarked by her alliances with the
Little Entente states and Poland. In
terlocking understandings with Greece
and Turkey through the Balkan En-
tente complete the chain which Is
drawn around Germany for defensive
purposes.
Naz bluster and military, naval
and aerial preparations are not likely
to be slackened by these develop
ments. But far from making that
apology" to Germany for the vote of
censure recently passed upon her
which Goering thunders is the price
of her participation in collective peace
action-Europe is plainly determined
to talk to the Nazis in the only Ian
guage they understand, the language
of overwhelmingly superior force.
