When 1t first appears, mildew is ea

When 1t first appears. mildew is easy
to wipe of.
Sometimes this proc ess must be re-
peated every day or two, for q time,
especially in soggy weather.
If this step is not attended to, the
first invasion forms q nice bed for further
infection.
If the spots and streaks of fungi are
discovered in time, and promptly re-
moved, there is less likelihood OF more
spots appearing.
Since most of the backs, or backbones,
or record albums are black, either with
silver or gold printing, spots of mildew
are easily seen upon them, If they are
given close inspection.
The trouble comes when no prior in
vasions of these fungi have been recog-
niZed. Then the mildew will pass un-
noticed until some one happens to take
an album from the case to light place.
Often individual albums will not be
used for weeks on end. Symphonies, for
instance, even though wonderfully re-
corded, are not music for every day.
Here is Beethoven's eighth, small but
beautiful Git was given by the National
Symphony the other night.
The music lover had not thought of 1t
for several months. Now he gets it out,
to find to his dismay that the back is
covered with a milky white substance.
Applying handkerchief, he finds that
all the mildew wipes off, He removes
the records. inspecting each one critically.
There are, thank heaven, no evidences
that the fungi had got that far.
v>1o
The music lovers makes a big resolve
to pay more attention to his precious
albums in such wet summer as this.
The book lover who almost always is
music lover, too, must give equal care
to his volumes.
Books in sectional cases, with closed
glass doors, escape infection, but those
in open cases, so popular for decorative
effects, are easy victims.
Paper covers have been so attractive
in recent years, that many book lovers
violate their old habits, and allow the
dust jackets to stay on when the books
are placed in shelves.
In mildewy summer-mildew, by the
way, comes from old words meaning
honey dew-the fungi love to collect on
the inside of the cover next to the back,
or backbone of the book. There it
spreads to the book itself.
Once a spot is noticed anywhere, it is
good practice to remove the jackets, and
wipe them out with a clean cloth or
tissues.
All books must be treated in similar
fashion. Not more than week should
go by before inspecting them again.
Mildew which gets in upholstery and
rugs is very difficult to remove Summing
may help some, but not much; even
sending them to the cleaners is not al
ways cure by any means.

Letters to The Star
Agrees With President On
Extending Protection.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I AGREE with President Roosevelt that
the protection Of the Government
should be extended to all who need it.
And I want to be one Of the earliest
beneficiaries. My consent to be born
was not obtained before my birth, and
I always have believed that the world
owes me a living.
Moreover. I want my living to be
worth the trouble. For instance, need
a rest cure Of about six months on the
Riviera. So that my mind may be free
Of worry while I am away. think that
Uncle Sam ought to take care of my wife
and our II children. They are willing
to spend the winter i'm California, but
meanwhile they would like a vacation
in Canada until the present heat wave
subsidies.
OF course, I need clothes and pocket
money II really am to enjoy myself.
And I prefer to travel first-class and
to put up at good hotels. The Secretary
of State can reserve suite for me on
the Queen Mary and arrange suitable
quarters for me at the Park Lane in
London and the Crillon in Paris. Please
tell him not to forget my valet and my
chauffeur. They will be indispensable
to my comfort. Also, like myself, they
are weary of being underprivileged.
During my absence the Secretary OF
the Interior can build us new home
with p. w. A. capital and Harry Hopkins
can have w. p. A. plant me a garden.
I will send the bills for food. light, heat,
ETC., to the Secretary of the Treasury
as they fall due. If get into any kind
of row with my neighbors, the Attorney
General can be my "mouthpiece." And
I would appreciate it if Postmaster
General Jim Farley would send me some

valuable in years to come-the same
kind he gave Mr.. Roosevelt, unfinished
OF course, promise to support the
President in everything. will condemn
the Supreme Court. raise the very devil
about Senator George and Senator
Tydings, smear the economic royal
ists' and "the selfish few" who refuse to
cooperate. Further, I pledge myself
to entertain kindly thoughts for the
c. I: O., the N. L. r. B., the G.. H. A.. the
whole alphabet soup Of the New Deal
menu. Indeed. covenant even to ap-
prove of Son Jimmy. And Mr.. Roosevelt
himself can stay in the White House

Ex-Rugged Individualist
Accepts New Order.

To the Editor Of The Star
GTUBBORNLY, I have long resisted
the plea OF our President and Of the
head Of the great Democratic party; but
now, at length, I have accepted ALL No
longer am 1 a self-reliant worker, rug
ged individualist who makes his own path
through life and walks on it. Why
should I, in my old age, struggle for such
a small reward?
Henceforth I cooperate with the
Government. accept its benefits be-
cause I want security. But I do not
want this cheap apartment OF four ugly
rooms have worked too much already.
I want all that's coming to me. After
all, the Government owes me living.
I want a rich wife, contract with
tabloid newspaper, college degrees from
Groton and Harvard, radio station
license, a colonel's commission in the
military forces, a fishing trip with the
battle fleet a thousand-acre estate,
yacht, big spendthrift trust fund. and
a lot Of rich playmates. In short, I
want my rights as common man and
I don't want to be longer thwarted by
rich plutocrats, tools OF Wall Street, and
other objects of hatred.
Henceforth follow where My master
leads. I am kind enough to want all
men, including my unselfish self, to
have our full rights and not settlement
houses, paltry relief dollars. and small
change for not planting corn. When we
are getting them. We might as we'll get
our full rights. Henceforth am sitting
down waiting for my part OF the rights.

Pan.American Labor.

The fulf1llment of the Pan-American
ideal rests not alone with diplomats and
Statesmen but with peoples. Thus the
greater contact and cooperation be-
tween the American peoples themselves
the more likely are they to be a force
for peace not only in the Western
Hemisphere but throughout the world
In this sense the anti-war congress of
labor to be held in Mexico City next
month is valuable adjunct to all the
other phases of inter American CO.
operation. Under the leadership of the
Marxist chief of the Mexican Labor
Confederation, Vicente Lombardo Toll
edano, an attempt will be made there
to unite the labor movements of every
country in the Western Hemisphere
behind a campaign of improved working
conditions war prevention and repulsion
of the Fascist economic invasion of
Central and South America.
- If there has been a defect in inter-
American relations it has been lack of
understanding between the peoples of
the various countries. which vary SC
widely in their racial composition. Such
labor federation as the dynamic Lom-
bardo Toledano projects may go far
toward removing those nationalistic
prejudices which prevent the consolida-
ton of peoples for joint cooperation in
preservation of peace. 1t may empha-
size to the workers of every American
country that they have common inter-
estS which surmount the barriers of
boundary lines and differences of race
and custom.
Symbolic of the close relationship
between the Mexican social revolutions
in which Lombardo Toledano is driv-
ing force, and the economic revolution
which the New Deal and an enlivened
labor leadership are bringing in the
United States John l.. Lewis, chair
man of the Committee for Industrial
Organization. will attend the congress
accompanied by staff from national
headquarters of the c. I. o. The world
wide aspect of the sessions will be
emphasized by the presence Of such
European labor leaders as Leon Jouhaux,
head of the powerful French General
Confederation of Labor; Edo Fimmen.
secretary general of the International
Transport Workers Federation, and
Gonzales Pena, general secretary of the
Spanish National Confederation of
Labor.
The effect of this novel experiment
upon the good neighbor" policy also
is worth watching, for it is packed with
potentialities for either good or evil.
If a Pan-American labor federation
should serve merely to spread through
out Latin America the expropriatory
policies of the Cardenas regime in
Mexico it may succeed only in wrecking
the good neighbor' program. If, how
ever, it is directed to create broader
understanding between nations OF work.
ers it can be precious supplement to
the New Deal policy in foreign affairs.

Blue Plains Resident
Defends Home.

To the Editor Of The Star:
STATEMENTS in a letter to The Star
- signed by Mrs. r. v. Miller are not
true. In the first place we do not use
tin cups at all. For three meals day
we use white china bowls for milk and
soup. For breakfast we have cereal OF
some kind every morning, bowl Of
milk, and good sliced bread AS Tor
milk, we have for years had fine dairy.
We get half a pint OF milk for breakfast
and supper and, If one Is delicate, 1or
dinner also. If the milk stands for a
while there is thick cream on 1t. Tne
story about powdered milk Is all bosh.
Friday we had nice baked fish, potatoes,
bread, butter and coffee, and stewed
pr,lnes for dessert. The menu Is dill
ferent each day.
AS for reading matter, there is more
literature sent here than old folks can
read. The eyes Of most Of the inmates
are not strong enough to permit q great
deal Of reading. NeYsboys bring us the
daily papers and We keep up with the
times. A friend has sent me The Star
for about 20 years, which I pass along.
I have been here since 1906, when this
home was opened. was in poor health
and have been very i'll three times, but
through the care OF good physicians and
nurses I have lived to the age Of 78.
It is q good home If people will accom-
modate themselves to circumstances and
be reconciled instead of alwayg COM
planning and expecting the impossible.
This home is far superior to many a
private home in Washington today.
We have GROWERS always who make 1t
unpleasant for others. But we have a
fine superintendent who tries to do his
best for all.
