To the Editor OF The Star.
We are again in the midst of general
world confusion, and Hitlers speech has
now forced us into the world armament

1t is pity that so many of our lead

That a strong Army and Navy Gnclud-

any one coming near our shores are as
VIAL and important to our welfare as
is the food We eat. Look at China to-

Washington Ballet.

It u natural development that
Washington should have q ballet organ
ization truly worthy Of the name. Pop
ular interest in the dance as an art has
distinguished the Nations Capital for
many years. There are more than fifty
schools Of dancing listed in the classi-
fed section Of the local telephone di-
rectory. Probably it is . conservative
estimate to say that ut least i've thou

the Junior academies. The number Of
adults enrolled for instruction in senior

But It also happens to be true that

Advocates Preparedness
As a Guarantee of Peace
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
There has been lots of discussion
about preparedness over our great Ma
ton. Some don't believe in war. Well,
l agree with them on this subject but
suppose nation would sneak in on our
beloved country some night when we were
asleep, with great navy steaming into
our harDors, shooting explosive and big
sheiis at our Notifications, and an air
notilla dropping bombs on our sleeping
cues trying to annihilate our popula-
tlon. Would you as a citizen of the
great united States lie in your bed as a
coward to be licked by some foreign ma
uon' or would you stand your ground as
a hero and fight until the last drop of
olood nowed from your veins to protect
your country and loved ones? AS Sher-
man remarked, War Is He'll" and he
was right, but say as true American
cltlzen, prepare our Nation for any
future eventualities and prepare our
men and have them trained to meet anv
emergency which may arise Just to
prove our effectiveness in peacetime.
look what our air force did on their
record flight to South America on a
goodwill tour. and there were onlv sly
shlps on this trip. This is a record M
other Nation has ever accomplished, We
RUE supreme in the air TODAY and mo
nave the men with iron nerve who ran
nsht from the air as well as m land

Planetarium Favored AS
Memorial to jefferson
TO the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
There is much to be said In favor Of
the suggestion made by the Amateur As
tronomers' Association through its ON
GERS, In regard to the proposed memorial
to Thomas Jefferson. The suggestion, in
letter to The Star, was that the me-
mortal take the form Of planetarium.
Jefferson was an inventor and a very
practical man, as is attested by several
OF his inventions at Monticello. The
somewhat. astronomical clock there in
dicates an interest in astronomy. His
work in connection with the establish
ment of the University of Virginia re-
fleets his interest in education.
What form OF memorial would JET
ferson himself prefer?
We have the beautiful memorials to
Washington and to Lincoln. each unique,
and they should remain so. The sug-
gestion of planetarium for the District
seems very appropriate. It would be
both educational and entertaining
There are but four in the United States
at present. There could be no more ap-
propriate place for the next one than
in the Capital City.
Probably few cities in the country
have as many visitors in year as WASH
ington. During the spring school vaca-
tion large groups of the Nations teach
ers, college and university students and
high school pupils flock there to see and
to learn. Many children Of 10, or even
younger, fifth and sixth grade pupils,
would enjoy and get benefit from a visit
to planetarium. 1t might well result
In some cases in budding interest In
astronomy.
In the several very busy days I spent
at the Chicago Fair, the planetarium
stands out In my mind and memory be-
yond anything else. ALICE v, COBB.

Iowa Dog Rescuers Put
Pet Prisoners to Shame

To the Editor OF The Star
What contrast between the sinking
hend who has recently caused the the
death by poison of hundreds of dogs
and cats in certain sections of our city
and the heroic act of Emmet Simon of
Dubuque, Iowa, who. with the help of
others. worked night and day for 264
hours to rescue and hberate his pet fox
terrier. Spotty, from cave in which he
had accidentally been entombed for II
days and nights. His was an act Of
heroism and devotion that deserves the
praise and commendation of every lover
OF dogs in the United States.
Every man, woman and child in
Washington who owns a pet was men,
tally relieved when they read in your
paper and viewed the pictures of Simon
and his plucky little terrier. who, by
barking at intervals during the rescue
work, let Simon know that he was still
alive. Spotty is q hero and 50 is
Simon. Let's write and congratulate him
and give him the praise he deserves.

Pattern of Revolution.

Revolutions conform to a pattern. It
Is not dificult to understand what is
going on in Russia at present, If one
remembers from ones reading what
happened in France In the final years
Of the eighteenth century. Stain is ex-
ecuting his former comrades exactly as
Danton and Robespierre executed theirs.
Trials which mock at justice now, as
similar travesties did then are but
formality Of murder. The fact is that
rebels almost invariably fall out among
themselves. AS soon as Louis XVI had
been sent to the guillotine his enemies
began to decapitate each other. History
is repeating in the instance of Nicholas
II and the Bolsheviks.
The explanation is not far to seek.
Every social system fails of perfection.
Critics arise from causes various and
distinctive. Yet the nom -conformists,
naturally enough perhaps, band together
to attack the government they mutually
hate. II their assault succeeds, differ
ences Of doctrine, personal rivalries, in
dividualistic traits assert their power.
The apple Of discord" may be any of
thousand things. Most commonly it is
not an issue of primary consequence.
Minor irritants promote the dissension
which eliminates in fratricidal slaughter.
Especially In the class war, the leaders
are q temperamental lot. easily stirred
to wrath. Human annals are rife with
proof Of their tendency to violent re-
prisal. Read the chronicles of Italy
and Germany, South and Central Amer
lea, even England-wf'ere the skeleton
of Cromwell was hanged by order of
Charles 1I-for whatever evidence is
wanted in the circumstances. The fate
of the commandant of Libby Prison may
be cited as an American example of the
universal principle at work.
