A Field Marshal of Peace.

1t was not given to Frank Billings
Kellogg to see swords beaten into plow-
shares, but until the hour he passed from
the tempestuous terrestrial scene this
week the persistent protagonist of the
Multilateral Pact to Outlaw War remained
unshattered and unshatterable in the
faith that the great instrument which
bears his name will yet come to be
constructive force in the lives of nations.
Since the treaty of Paris, which first
took form in the brain OF that other
warrior OF peace, Aristide BRAND, was
signed by fourteen countries in 1928 and
subsequently adhered to by thrice as
many more, Asia, Africa and South
America have successfully been the
arenas of armed conflict undertaken in
contravention OF the Pacts provisions
for remuneration of war. Most fragrant
of the treaty-breakers were Japan, with
its aggression in Manchuria in 1e3l-the
forerunner OF the current campaign of
conquest against China-and Italy, with
its deliberately instigated war for the
subjugation Of Ethiopia's independence
in 1886
The intrepid American idealist, Just
gathered to his fathers, heavy with years
and honors, never dissembled his reali-
zation that as long as machinery to
outlaw war lacked "teeth" 1t was fore
doomed to inefectiveness. But through
out the nine years of the Pacts existence
Mr.. Kellogg lived to witness progressive
and invincible unwillingness on the part
OF powers, large and small. to 'imple-
ment' it in the only way 1t could ever
have become more than q pious aspi-
ration. 1t is striking coincidence, and
may become an historic one, that on the
very day of the Minnesotan's passing
President Roosevelt planted a depth
charge under the theory that the United
States is for peace at any price. The for
mer Senator, Secretary of State, Ambas-
sador and World Court justice would have
died happy could he have known that Just
before he breathed his last the White
House proclaimed that Americans "owe
some measure Of cooperation and even
leadership in maintaining standards of
conduct helpful to the ultimate goal of
general peace" That is language in vivid
consonance with Article of the Kellogg
Pact, "solemnly declaring" in the names
of the high contracting governments,
that their respective peoples condemn
recourse to war for the solution of inter-
national controversies and renounce it
as an instrument of national policy in
their relations with one another"
Truth, like time, marches on Though
crushed to earth, internationally, by the
policies and legions of Japan and Italy,
in brutal and brazen defiance of the
word they jointly and severally plighted,
the truth that speaks from the parch-
ment which assures Frank Billings Kel-
logg undying fame will rise again. 1t
may not speedily prevail, but it will
continue to challenge civilization until
craftsmanship devises saner forms of
arbitrament than war.

Challenges Britain's Title
As a Nation of Gentlemen

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Sunday Star OF December IL,
Constantine Brown says:
THE realistic Britishers had the upper
hand over the sentimental French.
Austria, the Frenchmen were told (by
the very admirable and superior British
statesmen has been living artiflcially.
She is bound to become a part of Ger
many, sooner or later. For the Germans
this Is family affair. Just as the British
would resent any outside interference
in their relations with Ireland. for ex-
ample, so does the Reich consider any
alien interference in the Austrian ques-
ton as uncalled for meddling"
Is it possible Mr.. Brown does not know
that after December 20 Britain will have
no more right to resent anything done
by or to Ireland than she has to resent
anything done by or to Siam? The new
constitution OF Ireland provides for It's
complete and unquestioned independence
in foreign as in domestic relations.
The notion stressed throughout the
article is that the British were both
adroit and righteous when they decided
that the threatened extinction of the
Republic of Czechoslovakia by an ar
rogant despotism was no concern of
Britain's. 1t is continuously insisted by
British propagandists that Britain is a
democratic country. If 1t were, it could
not be indifferent to the destruction Of
democracy anywhere.
AS to the practical wisdom of allowing
Czechoslovakia to be destroyed, that
promises to be on a par with Britain's
already demonstrated folly when it al
lowed Mussolini to terrorize it into
acquiesence with the rape Of Ethiopia.
Mr. Brown calls the British "a nation
OF gentlemen" This nation OF gentle
men" has Just callously violated its
pledges and trampled out the world S
hope about Palestine. BY the subterfuges
and trickerieS 1t has avoided the fulfill
ing Of Its covenants to give to India a
dominion form Of government. And it
has coolly refused to pay the debt of
$5.l07 100000 that it owes to the United
States or to keep any of the pledges
1t has made in regard to that debt.
II the breaking OF treaties, the vio-
lation Of covenants, the deliberate
Vaccinations of tricksters and welching
on pledges and promises are traits of
gentlemen, then indeed words have
ceased to have any meaning anywhere.

but really doesn't. That Is just the
shrimp way.
This small shrimp is a real shrimp, no
doubt Of it. Its life span about two
months, is spent almost entirely on the
swim. Occasionly they rest on the bot
tom layer of salt, now partly covered
with sediment of fine food.
How to get this food layer is the secret
of bringing these shrimp to maturity.
The cheapest type OF manufactured
fish food will DO, but 1t must be the
smallest grade, powdered
Fish foods fall easily into price classes
Foods sold at 10 cents are usually nothing
but starch, in some form. Larger form.
OF fish life cannot live on them. Foods
costing rs cents small box almost in.
variably are good fish foods, with the
necessary amount of proteins in them.
The cheap powdered food, however,
will raise the brine shrimp
A dry toothpick should be dipped into
the food for about half an inch. Their
the food should be shaken off. Enough
will cling to suffice for daily feeding OF
the shrimp hatched in a pint of water
This procedure twice day is enough
The toothpick should be dry each time
and simply inserted in the water until
the food washes of, then withdrawn and
dried
This minute amount will not spoil the
water.
The brine shrimp eggs will hatch out
after many years simply because dryness
Is part OF the life cycle.
In the salt pools the eggs are swred by
the life instinct in them, q sort Of CEN
rifugal force into the shores, where they
T pile up in enormous numbers, so that
millions and billions of them can be
shoyeled up at certain times OF year when
the pools tend to dry up.
When the rains come, the eggs. after
the drying period, are washed down into
the pools again, and shortly hatch out.
II this period of dryness is prolonged,
the life force, evidently, is not lost-for
at least four years, we know.
How much longer few will know. for
few persons have these eggs of an au-
thentic age as great as that.
It is curious and interesting thing to
realize that these eggs of the Artemia

water.
The experimenter is wasting his time
to try them So
Eggs of fresh water shrimp would be
necessary for that, but such eggs might
not survive the drying period at all,
even for few days.
The moment the eggs of the brine
shrimp get into salt water the magic
button is pressed. and the process OF
Matching out begins.
This process of bringing evident life
out OF seeming nothing is all the more
amazing because Of the previous dryness
Of the material used.
The salinity Of the water is the magic
Key for this shrimp.
Out Of darkness, light"
This is wonderful thing wherever
witnessed, even in small jar, and proba-
bly, all the more so there.
Out Of dust, life; out of life, dust.
Dust out of life; life out of dust!
There is a triumphant note there.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

Since the discovery four years ago of
the possibility of the use of brine shrimp
eggs as food for aquarium fishes, these
bits Of suspended animation have
loomed large in the hobby.
AS dry as dust, and looking exactly like
it, the eggs hatch out In salt water into
live, free-swimming shrimp scarcely
visible to the eye.
That they may be kept dry, and still
hatch, for four years, has just been
proved here.
An enthusiast in aquarium culture
purchased small carton of these eggs
in 1888.
There were many thousands no doubt
hundreds of thousands, OF these eggs in
tiny package.
To the famous naked eye" they
seemed just SO much dirt.
Under magnifying glass they looked
quite regular and round. Four years ago
experiments were tried.
A spoonful was put in small amount
of salt water. Within SO hours several
hundred shrimp had Matched and were
swimming in the erratic fashion of
shrimp, large or small, fresh or salt
water.
The idea was not to feed the egs, as
such, to tropical aquarium inmates, but
to use the Matched creatures as live food,
SO called.
1t was found that the proper utiliza-
ton Of these bits Of life had its draw
backs. SO their bringing to life was
abandoned.
The other day, after four years, the en-
thusiast found his old carton of shrimp
eggs.
Would they still come to life, under the
magic touch Of salt water?
They did.
-Four years or longer as dry as dust, the
eggs gave very good percentage of
Matched shrimp.
These things are like nothing else the
average person who Is not scientist will
ever see
Many persons who look at the jar of
salt water even say they cannot see any,
thing at all when first they look.
If they persist, however, they will get
the impression of movement.
Average persons not trained to such
work do not look small enough"
once they get the idea, they detect
small bits of gray almost water color,
dartlng around in the craziest fashion.
These are Artemia salins, scientifically
or California brine shrimp
They came originally from salt pools
near Hollywood
At certain seasons millions upon mil
lions Of them are laid.
The parents seldom exceed half an inch
in length, in nature; in the jar, the most
the Matched shrimp ever attain is about
fourth of an inch long and this mostly
backbone, legs and two very bright little
eyes.
These microscopic eyes are plainly
visible about week after Matching.
After that, if the shrimp are fed care
lully, the eyes become blacker and more
prominent. until at last they are the
most visible thing about the animals.
The eyes are on top, as if on prongs.
and the remainder of the shrimp comes
along behind and underneath; that is,
the animal seems to swim upside down,

Illegible Street Names
Add to Traffic Perils
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 tne EQltor OF Inc star.
I read few days ago that the police
Commissioner was asking for suggestions
from citizens regarding auto accidents.
There is one thing which l have
thought of great many times, and
that is the matter of street and house
marking. If when one was driving along,
especially in the night, he could easily
read the street marker or the house
number, it would wonderfully help his
problem Of locating his destination.
Sometimes one has to drive past an
intersection and look back to read the
street name; or If the name is plainly
written for day reading, it is so lined up
with street light that it cannot be
read at night.
In some cities have seen street mark
ers printed on frosted glass with a light
behind. Very easy to read. I have
wanted to write letter of appreciation
to such city management.
Not only is this the Nations Capital, and
as such should be an example to other
cities, but perhaps no other city has so
many strangers. and hence the greater
need for plain markers. If a driver is
looking and trying to determine the
name OF a street, he cannot also do a
good job Of driving. In fact, he does not
know for the moment what his car is
doing, and provides a perfect setting for
an accident.
Likewise in street numbers, often one
will drive more than block in business
sections without seeing a number. In
residential sections the number may be
anywhere around the yard or on the
house. What a great help 1t would be
If there was uniformity, and also have
the number on frosted glass in front
of small light. as some already do now.
1 think that all will agree there is
room, for much and profitable improve
ment in the matter Of street and house
marking. A. w. ALDERMAN.

Solution of Money Problem
Explains Economic Riddle
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az tfS A0itoE ol Inc Star:
America rejects, we still may hope,
any form Of economic dictatorship. But
let us not picture the relationships
that exist as 50 different from our
own efforts to solve the same problems
as to warrant any feeling Of SNUG COM
placency-any illusion that ut can't hap
pen here"
1t is a particularly favorite pastime
just now to picture the German economy
as completely dictated, with all prices
fixed. This is not true. Only back
ground OF basic industry and prices is
thus regimented. Most of the economy
is open to free competition.
In this respect German theology differs
notably from that of Russia, for Russia
deplores all distribution by exchange and
especially by monetary exchange. She
proposes to cure the financial invalid by
tempt to cut his throat 50 weakened
again forthwith.
In practice there Is not as much diff
ference between the various national eco
Monies as there Is in theory. They all
work in the presence of monetary in
f1ation and fail to work at other times,
as when money expansion is restricted
by . gold standard or by attempts to
maintain simultaneous solvency in both
private and public budgets. tits money
that makes the mare CO."
II We want to put out the fires of eco
manic and social insanity that are
raging, we'll have to start at the bottom
and, as in the nursery rhyme. make "the
money cat begin to chase the (panic)
rat" before the necessary chain of normal
economic events can be induced, to end
our pyromania. The solution of our eco
nomlc enigma lies in solution of the
money problem. ALDEN A. POTTER.

Flea.POwder Town Protests
The Creenbelt Ban on Dogs

10 the Editor OF The Star:
Much has been written relative to
Government competition in business and
interference with legitimate employment
and commerce by one fool regulation or
another but there is one grievance that
has never been aired.
Now, in the project at Greenbelt, and
l presume other Government projects,
there Is not only no provision made for
the housing of dogs, but dogs and cats
are absolutely forbidden in the project
area.
Now how is a flea powder manufac-
turer going to buck this proposition?
Flees must have host and they usually
pasture on dogs. No dogs, no feas; no
neas, no use for flea powder. Flea powder
industry blooie!
This howl Of discomfort and protest
comes from town where the manufac-
ture OF flea powder is the chief industry.

been made upon Congress for expendi-
lures away beyond assured Government
income, without provision for any effec-
tive balancing Of the budget. And from
session to session the word has gone
down the Avenue that something in the
nature of budget balancing would shortly
be undertaken, without specifications.
Now comes this rather surprising letter
to the House Roads Committee chair
man, saying:
The administration is making an hon
est effort to cut the budget down to a
figure which will closely approximate
the estimated tax receipts"
This is all rather sudden, somewhat
perplexing and decidedly disagreeable to
the faithful cohorts in Congress who
have heretofore gone ahead on the
spending program with confidence that
they were carrying out the Executive
will, which has been accepted as para
mount. Is 1t to be explained by the
recent disappointment OF the failure
of the wages and hours bill, which was
sent to limbo in the House? Is this in
the nature of disciplinary rebuke for
effect at the regular session, soon to
start? Certainly the appropriations for
roads, against which the administration
wrath has been aroused and expressed,
are of the nature OF political provender,
highly relished by legislators. There are
logs to be rolled in the districts what
ever happens to the budget, and the
habit has grown, during the past five
years, to the point at which 1t seems
just a bit inconsiderate for the Execu-
tive to raise his voice in rebuke.

Memory Gifts.
A silent recollection here amid the JOY
Gus throng-
A fleeting glimpse of rainbow and the
echo of song
The baubles Of the present seem so

The gifts that memory brings are far
the fairest Of them all.
Beyond the lights that glimmer and be-
yond the starry glow
Are faces brightly smiling Of the friends

More vivid than the present is the past

And memory is the Saint whose gifts are
