hausen story, those who have examined
the log hitherto have read no further.
It is hard reading. Col Martin read
the whole book. He finds that Palmer
told the story of his discovery in con-
siderable detail. but that the new land
was not sighted until four months after
his meeting with the Russian admiral.
He told about it when he came to it,
but his biographers did not have the
patience to look that far.
There is only one possible rival claim.
Col. Martin says, to the discovery of
the worlds seventh continent by this
young American sailor 1t, may have
been sighted earlier that same year by
Capt. Bransfield. British naval officer.
But II so Bransfield made no record in
his log of the discovery. The tradition
has persisted by word of mouth. There
has been tendency by British map
makers, however, to call Palmer Land
after a former photographer of the
British navy, a certain Capt. Graham,
who never was south of Buenos Aires.
Palmers discovery. Col. Martin
stresses, gave the United States no
sovereignty over the new continent. a
great deal of which officially is claimed
by Great Britain. The Connecticut sea
captain did not formally take possession
He had no authority to do so. In those
days the United States was not par-
ticularly land hungry, especially for a lot
OF rocks and ice which could be of no
possible economic value to anybody.

Use Government Plants for
Making Tools and Plates
To the Hitor ~ The Qtsr.

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Our legislators who want a Navy for
national defense and not pork barrel"
should see that more ground is acquired
for our Washington naval gun factory
and that larger appropriation is made
Tor new improved machinery, shops and
tools. as the finest guns in the world are
made there.
President Roosevelt, who at one time
was Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
knows the need Of reopening the
Charleston, w. Va, naval ordnance
plant. where armor plate can be made
for $246 a ton and the next private bid
is expected to be about $700 ton. At
Senator Nye's munitions hearing it was
stated that the steel industry charged
eighty per cent overhead, paid high
salaries and low wages, yet made profit
OF f1fty-seven per cent and that their
armor plant cost only about $4,000, 900
when the Charleston plant cost our tax
payers $24500,000.
This plant will be q national defense
far enough from the sea to be safe from
airplane attacks, give work to many un-
employed, is in the region of coal, nat
ural gas, iron and cheap Government
T. v. A. electricity, for the big electric
furnaces, as the largest items of cost in
making armor plate are heat and labor,
The metal used in making a ton of
armor, using the steel trust figures given
the Nye Committee, according to the
Government specification OF nickel was
never higher than $51 a ton. So why
should our Nation buy armor with this
plant idle. JOHN r. RIGGLES.

A Pathetic Situation in
Virginia That Is Typical
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 Lne GQltOr OF Ine StAr.
The following story reveals a pathetic
situation, but it is typical of many others
in our country:
There lives in my community a man
who is almost 80 years of age and who
had paralytic stroke about three years
ago. He tries to cultivate his small farm,
but without much success. His semi
crippled wife Is. Of course, of little as
Sistance to him. His son was killed during
the war and he was given the benefit Of
war-risk insurance. This was made pay
able to him on a monthly basis for q
period OF approximately twenty years.
In a short time these payments will
expire and the family will be left in
desperate need. Due to their situation
in life they have been unable to save
anything for the future.
1t would seem an act Of duty and
mercy on the part Of the Government
to look after such persons. Can not
some act be passed which will extend
the monthly payments until their death?
The counties, generally speaking, can
not afford to render aid to persons falling
in this class. Yet, something must be
done for them or their lot will be very
sad one. MARK c. WILLING.

It Is necessary to keep firmly In mind
that during the winter, when we see
hocks Of juncos, they are migrating
southwark, as far as Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi.
Their breeding range from now on Is
Pennsylvania, Labrador, to the Arctic
Coast. They are little, these sparrows,
but mighty in flight. Yes, the snowbird
Is . member of the sparrow family, and
surely one OF the most beloved.
Old-fashioned folk like best the name
snowbird. 1t Is only In recent years that
the name junco has come into common
use. Even ornithologists, in some cases,
do not like 1t. 1t Is even said that no
one knows exactly its derivation. Some
ssy it Is from the Latin "juncus," a
seed, since this bird Is one Of the most
avid seed eaters.
It specializes on weed seeds, and be-
cause of that should and does receive
the protection Of most persons More
than go per cent Of the birds food is a
mixture Of various weed seeds.
Every one has seen a small flock Of
snowbirds eating such seeds in vacant
lots. There is no prettier sight, along
that line, except flock of wild canaries,
~ oSANAAAASASoS oVOP OIOlho VI OdIlucllOll
nun.
Any one who did not know this bird
is sort Of sparrow might suspect it from
watching him with the English SPAR
rows, with which he Is completely at
home.
At this season the snowbird will drop
down In yard where feeding is going
on at a box and will be among the
chummiest Of the feeders.
We have never seen a junco aligtt on
the platform Of feeding station, but,
as pointed out the other day, no doubt
this depends upon the shape and ar
rangement Of the feeding box.
There are juncos, and juncos, OF
course. The one seen around here is
the slate-colored one, a true snowbird
as mentioned. Just where he comes
from, when it SHOWS, is hard to say, but
appear he will, almost invariably.
He likes it.
This bird Is 6 inches long, seeming
much smaller than the English sparrow
because he is slightly simmer and his
white vest makes him look trimmer
The underparts are white, the top of
this bird slate gray
1t is always worthwhile to look over
any gathering of common sparrows care
fully, to be sure there are no juncos In
the group.
They are friendly little birds, with
engaging chirps and pert ways, but not
AFRAID. perhaps, not as much so as the
English sparrow, whose downtown brav-
cry Is not altogether natural to it.
In the suburbs, especially at feeders,
the common sparrow is as flighty as they
come. 1t will fly away at the slightest
noise from the house. Usually it and
It's mates fly to some nearby hedge, or
shrubbery, at the rear of the garden, and
remain there until the danger is over.
1t is because it is so adaptive that the
English sparrow has been able to thrive.
In the city. it will eat on the sidewalk,
or even in the gutter. despite the feet of
pedestrians and the tires of cars.
In suburban and country areas 1t
seems to lose much of this bravery,
There 1t will fly away as quickly as any
other wild bird.
There is pretty close relationship
between English sparrows and snow
birds. after all, despite attempts to paint
the former solely as feathered devils.

Mr.. Hoover and Parole.

A New York penologist's attempt to
picture j. Edgar Hoover as an enemy of
parole appears to have been based on a
misconception Of Mr.. Hoover's oft-ex-
pressed attitude on a subject naturally
close to his heart. The critic accused
the head Oman Of "intemperate and
often inaccurate" statements that have
tended to obstruct penal progress.
Mr.. Hoover's latest public utterance
on parole was made not long ago in the
penologists own bailiwick. In view of
the criticism, widely published, it might
be well to quote Mr.. Hoover's own sum-
nation of his views on parole, as con-
tanned In the New York address:
'"There is no fault Whatever to fnd
with any parole system that honestly
releases . first offender after he has
