QUESTIONS FROM READERS
II. H. p: Gould YOU please
give me information on the use on
hydrogen peroxide and pumlce
stone for superf1uous hair" III
Answer: The technique IL as
follows: A preliminary applica-i
ton of the following prescription
is used: Hydrogen peroxide
10 &C; benzol, water and diluted
spirits, to make so &C. This ap-
plication should be left on the face
for one or two hours, or better, II
the patient can stand it, all night.
The hairs become bleached and
brittle under this treatment. After
that a punnice stone. which has
been prepared by rubbing two
pieces of pumice stone together
until they are smooth, should be
used to sandpaper the area OF the
superfuous hairs for five minutes,
once or twice daily, in the direc-
ton of their growth. If the skin
becomes irritated, the treatment
should be discontinued for a few
DAYS and zinc oxide ointment used
to allay the irritation.

The Royal Visit

1t was dramatic setting in which
King George chose to announce yes
terday in the traditional speech from
the throne that, accompanied by
Queen Elizabeth, he would visit the
United States on his Canadian trip
next summer in response to an in
vitation from President Roosevelt.
The appreciation with which all
England received the announcement
was evidenced in the rousing re-
sponse from government supporters
and opposition alike, gathered in the
House of Lords to hear the historic
speech, according to custom written
for the monarch by his Prime Min
lister.
Although such meetings usually
are significant merely as symbols of
amlty between peoples, the coming
visit to the United States, which will
be the first reigning British mon
arch has ever made to this country,
is fraught with great political i'm
portance, for it will bring together
the heads of two great powers which
have more in common, perhaps, than
any other two in the world.
The London Washington axis" is
cemented by ties of common tradi-
ton, language, and to a large extent
custom, which are lacking in some
OF the other "axes" in the world
today.
But II the maximum political
utility is to be drawn from the i'm
pending journey full use must be
made of the opportunity for the
American people to see and know
the visiting monarchs. Toward
this end their itinerary in the United
States should, if possible, be so laid
out as to carry them through the
great stretches of the Middle West
and the Far West, sections of the
United States which in the past
have been the most isolationist and
the least impressed with the foreign
aspects of American policy. These
are regions remote from the great
shipping and trade centers of the
East which have constant relation.
ships with the United Kingdom and
the other parts of the British Empire.
Besides the political values, such
an extensive trip across the con-
tlnent would be a compliment which
the people of the Great Plains and
the Pacific Coast would not ignore.

Pedestrian Says Motorists
Pass Yellow Lights.
November :
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I read with interest your discussions
about pedestrian control. The idea is
good and seems to be successful in many
cities. 1t will never work in Washington
until motorists will stop on yellow lights.
They do not think yellow lights might be
for the convenience of pedestrians. No,
they are simply signal for speed on the
part of the drivers-unless there is
policeman in evidence. On many cor
ners pedestrians cannot get across until
the lights change on account of cars
making right and left turns. If they
can't cross on the green or red lights
either, just what are they to do? Then
traffic officials condemn them for cross
ing in the middle of the block!
I have noticed traffic conditions in
other cities and in none of them are
pedestrians ignored as they are in Wash
ington. On any morning or night one
can see cars rushing across such busy
streets as Connecticut avenue on a red
light. don't mean yellow one, either
And if pedestrian comes to grief it is
invariably his own fault.
firmly believe pedestrians should obey
the signals and cross at intersections,
but please give US . chance,

May add my voice cor penD to that
OF Mr.. A. T. Jackson, who, in a letter to
The Star spoke for and in kind with all
real Americans. Every point he made is
demonstrated truth. Americans starve,
singly and en- masse (if it were all told .
while the red tape" relief and employ
ment bureaus absorb the taxpayers
money-that is, what isn't earmarked for
campaign budgets.
In 1882 in one Of the Presidents cam
paign "thunders" he said no man shall

result Gf it were not so tragic would
make one scream with laughter. (The
record of jobless suicides became too
terrible to be readD He also promised
rigidly to "cut the expenses of govern

bureaus to get started, to start, and is
not started on "the start" yet.
Now the taxpayers (who are the real
Government, you know are being urged
and "ballyhooed' to help the Jews in

All right-but why not help our own

about starving, unemployed Americans?
AS a taxpayer I demand Mr.. Roosevelt
pay attention to them frst-that is what
we pay him for and not his empty

to recently by Governor Nice for a
new high speed road to relieve that
which has served as the main route
between the two cities for many
years. According to the plans which
Governor Nice said he had examined,
the proposed road would follow the
abandoned right of way of the for
mer Washington, Baltimore and An
napoliS Railroad. This right of way,
as laid out for the railroad, would
lend itself we'll to the development of
such a road, because of the long,
wide radius curves which were laid
out originally for the high speed
electric trains.
. But the greatest contribution to
traffic would be the safety provisions
which it is proposed to incorporate
in the highway such as the absence
Of crossroads and traffic lights,
night illumination, and elimination
of the necessity of passing through
the heavy downtown traffic of Balti-
more. The plans provide for a
bridge across the Patapsco River
in South Baltimore to route the traf-
fic around the congested zone direct
to the Baltimore-P Philadelphia road.
With the prospect that the volume of
vehicles as indicated by the figures
will be materially increased during
the next few years, it is we'll for the
officials of the State to give atten-
ton to the development of another
important artery now.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES &. TRACEWELL,

Many readers who remember the name
OF Hall Caine with affection will be glad
to see that his monumental Life OF
Christ" has been published at last.
Not that they need read 1t at once,
necessarily; 1t will be comforting to have
it on hand as reserve reading-its more
than thousand pages hold plenty Of
comfort for the mind.
Reserve reading, close at hand, as near
as the bedside shelf, is something that
no reasonably equipped home ought to
be without.
One fellow gets this by a battery of old
magazines in his attic. Most of them he
has never read but simply saved against
the famous rainy day.
Now and then he reaches in, pulls out
an old copy and reads some article or
poem which attracted readers years ago.
Timeliness is not always the essence Of
good reading.
Out of thin air have come some of the
worlds best.
The bedside shelf has bedside manner
all its own.
1t means that the weary reader,
harassed and i'll at ease, has supply of
the best mental food drink and medicine.
1t is a good thing, now and then, to
purchase something which one does not
propose to read at the moment.
Like good wine, it will keep.
Few things keep better than books.
Even when printed upon cheap paper,
with fragile bindings, they last as long
as most persons need them.
This is all the more true if they have
not been read!
Can it possibly be that not to read q
book is the greatest tribute an earnest
reader can pay it?
Certainly this is true upon occasion
1t is the happy fate of some books to
be great books, and yet to stay unread on
some shelves.
Many book known as classic comes
in this category. 1t is great, no one
would dispute the fact, yet it never seems
to suit the mood Of the moment.
Not to read a book is better than to
force ones self to read it, perhaps All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy. indeed, 1t is even worse for Jack to
read. or be made to read, what he does
not want to read at the moment.
This attitude does not make reading a
Whim. 1t is based surely on the fact,
more true today than ever, that there
are far, far more books in the world than
any one can read.
This being plainly true, il makes it es-
sential for every lover of books to be
sure that what he reads is what he
ought to read his mind and heart being
what they are. and his time what it is
Let him have no hesitancy about lug
ging in the ought. In recent years an
unfortunate attitude has been bred, that
preaching of any kind is wrong.

A New Highway

The tremendous amount of traffic
carried by the Baltimore Washington
Boulevard gives further evidence of
the great need of a new highway
between the Capital and the Monu-
mental City Figures compiled by
the Baltimore Washington Boulevard
Association show that 1888, $3.50 peo-
pie, about one-tenth of the popula-
ton of the whole United States, pass
over this main artery during the
course of year.
The figures further show that a
vehicle enters this highway every
four seconds, which points to the
need Of carrying out plans referred
Evening star., 1938-11-09

The necessity for lectring ones own
heart Is Just as pertinent today as ever.
The book lover, In particular, must tell
himself what he ought to read for his
own good, benefit, pleasure, edification,
entertainment.
He may listen to the advice of others,
but he must be his own best Judge and
critic in the last analysis.
And this means he must have reading
reserves.
In wartimes there is a law against
boarding food, but there is none making
1t a misdemeanor to stock up on q few
unread books at any time.
Few sights are better for the eyes.
These books, unread, maybe even un-
cut, are there waiting. They represent
something great in anticipation. They
mean that the reader is not in hurry.
They mean that he has selected them
and feels sure of his reward whenever
he chooses-but he does not choose at
this time.
Maybe 1t is a set OF Edward Gibbons
1t was work which once set the reading
world by its collective ears, but today it
stands as monument of patient re-
search and sustained prose on a rather
highfoWn plane.
No writing either up or down to any
one in those six volumes. The sentence
structure Is held at the same level all the
way through, making for a prose style
which some have called noble, some dull.
1t makes no difference. The man who
wrote them wrote first to please himself.
1t may be that the shelf held in re-
serve" can be selected on no better basis.
Hall Caine, in this book recently pub
lished evidently worried little about what
any one else would think of 1t.
The books which go into shelf OF the
unread ought to be OF this sort-books
written with an eye on the market place
have their place, and are in need of no
extra petting.
But here In the bedside bookshelf let re-
pose in majestic silence some of the great
things written because they had to be
written.
1t speaks we'll for the discrimination Of
man that such works often become popu-
lar and are read and respected the world
around.
Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With
the Wind because she wanted to write it.
She had story to tell and she told 1t
with such effectiveness that many read
ers still do not understand what master
OF narration she is. They talk about
character study" when what they mean
is that the story moves along, just as
Alexandra Dumas tales go on forever.
Great, long books, of course, are the
best candidates for the bedside shelf OF
the great unread. We recommend that
no book of less than 1000 pages-well
maybe 946-be included.

with the Japanese at Lake Khasan
in Siberia, the Premier thundered:
IF any one doubts our strength, let
him try it! We will answer every
blow by an aggressor, whether in the
East or West, with double and triple
blows" Dimitroff depicts the new
World War" as already begun" and
submits a time table. "Czechoslo-
vakia," he says, having been at
tackled in 1888, Hungary will be
attacked in the spring of 1889. In
the fall of 1899 Poland will become
an object of occupation, and Yugo-
slavia in 1910. The turn of Rumania
and Bulgaria will also come in 1910,
and in the spring of 1941 that OF
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark
and Switzerland. In the fall of 1941
Germany intends to launch her at
tack against the Soviet Union"
In tune with these combined boasts
and forecasts, Marshal Voroshiloff
specifically warned Japan against
any military adventure in Siberia.
Speaking from atop Lenin's tomb In
Red Square, and in the immediate
presence of the japanese Ambassa-
dor, Stalin's war lord declaimed:
Gentlemen, what you got at Lake
Khasan last August was only the
blossom. Try again, and you'll get
the fruit"
Making every allowance for uncon-
cealable internal decentralization, and
the necessity of bolstering domestic
morale with brave talk, it is apparent
that the Soviet is perking up and
admonishing both Europe and Asia
that it would be unWise to write off
Russia as a negligible factor in world
affairs.

Gravelly Point Airport
Location Opposed.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the EQltot OF Inc StAI.
As constant reader of The Star am
surprised and disappointed by your edi-
torial in Sundays Star November g.,
1889 on the Real Airport you
term The proposed Washington National
Airport of Gravelly Point
The proposal, so far as ! have heard,
is that of President Roosevelt. and one
which was condemned by military men
year or two ago, and was not sanctioned
by Congress.
I am not military man, but as an
engineer I think your arguments are
wrong. You cannot increase the flow of
river merely by deepening more than a
limited extent. On the other hand, mar
rowing the cross section above low water
stage will not increase total flow, and
serious floods, affecting all the Pennsyl-
vania avenue section will ensue.
Sanitary engineers will, am sure, not
agree that pollution can be cured by
merely increasing the rivers flow.
You forget the serious loss to beauty
on and along the Mount Vernon Me-
mortal Highway by narrowing the river,
as shown in published final PLAN to
one-half it's present width and further
throwing it within several hundred feet
of the extensive Potomac railway yard
with its smoky condition.
The argument that the filling will
eliminate a vast expanse of shallow
Weed-choked river flats" is childish when
one thinks how small the expense would
be to keep 1t cleaned up were attention
given to it.
AS to the need of another airport for
Washington, 1 will not argue. Undoubt-
edly it will be wanted sometime, but is
the location wise? 1t is notoriously more
foggy than higher ground about Wash
ington. That it must be within a few
miles is relatively unimportant, rs high
way speed is fast But is it fair to those
who use the Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway to have 1t intersected, or even
indirectly connected with huge air
port?
Let us hold the natural beauty of the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, the
only place from which fine views of
Washington can be obtained.

New Deal Defeat

The results of yesterdays elections,
despite the Democratic victory in
New York, can be viewed only as a
major setback for the Roosevelt
administration.
That fact has dual significance.
1t indicates in the first place that
the trend of legislation during the
next two years will be toward more
conservative rather than more rad
lcal policies. And, beyond that, there
Is the virtual certainty that the next
occupant of the White House, be he
Democrat or Republican, will be
man whose sympathies do not lie
with what has come to be known as
the left wing of the New Deal.
On the basis of present returns, the
Republicans seem assured OF gaining
from seven to nine seats in the Senate
and from sixty to seventy House
seats. Of even greater Importance,
however, is the fact that the Repub-
lican have beaten Democratic incum-
bents in twelve gubernatorial races,
while losing one, and perhaps two.
Should that prove to be the final
result, the Democrats will still control
both House and Senate and most of
the State administrations. But the
majority of those Democrats will not
be wearers of the New Deal colorS,
and many of them have made little
effort to conceal their hostility
toward the more extreme policies of
the present administration.
The surprisingly strong Republican
showing, combined with the defeat of
virtually all Democratic candidates
who had campaigned as ardent New
Dealers, is indicative of a widespread
and probably rising tide of dissatis-
faction with the results of President
Roosevelt's policies rather than with
the broad outlines of his general pro-
gram. In fact, most of the successful
candidates Endorsed many obiectives
of the New Deal, but decried it's
methods.
After SIX years OF unprecedented
expenditures, the voters saw the
farm problem still unsolved, an army
of unemployed that had not been
materially reduced and an industrial
structure that was still shaking from
repeated shocks of New Deal expert
mentation. The recent general busi-
ness Improvement throughout the
country apparently was not sufficient
to Offset the apprehension of the
public that another New Deal in
dorsement might result in the appli-
cation of still more extreme policies
to the Nations problems.
From that prospect the people have
recoiled, and are now asking for a
return to saner government, the re-
assertion by Congress of it's proper
powers and a legislative program that
will not unfairly penalize one class of
the people for the superficial benefit
of another.

Russia Perks Up

The masters of the U. S. S. R., espe-
cially its military leaders, are obvious
ly constrained to remove interna-
tional apprehensions over Russia's
capacity for war, resultant from the
September crisis in Europe. To the
last, even after the Western democ-
racies disclosed their disinclination
to prevent the dismemberment of
CzechoSlovakia, it was widely expect
ed that the Soviet, which had a
conditional mutual assistance pact
with the CzechoSlovakS, would hasten
to their aid. AS this did not come
to pass, irresponsible reports, among
them Colonel Lindberghs alleged dis
paragement of the Red air force,
became current, as to the reason for
MoscoW's restraint or reluctance,
whichever it was
Occasion was taken during this
