Essentially, Marian finished her breakfast In a way 1t was just as well that Carma had not married Pete. She was a buyer for Manning's and made twice Pete's salary, she was accustomed to niceties which he would never be able to provide and he had stubbornly refused to marry her until she gave up her po- sition. Pete would never make good, a failure always remained failure, as Marian well knew.
 She reviewed her own unavail- ing reactions to lack of progress in Dan, ardent belief, gallant en- couragement, loyal defense. then suggestions, criticism, nagging and tears, finally simmering indif- ference.

 Marian looked up, surprised. q didn't know that he and Carma were married"
 "He didn't marry Carma,"
 What? But they've been en- gagged for 10 years. This was to have been her last buying trip"
 "Every trip for the last five years was to have been her last. I take 1t that Pete got tired of waiting
 But he wasn't making enough to support them"
 Perhaps not in the way Carma wanted to be supported, His wife, she's cute little trick named Julie, seems perfectly satisfied"
 Cut little trick Marian re- sented the description. The world was full of cute little tricks ane each one was menace. "Pete ane Carma were terribly in love-" sht unused. T can't understand"

back of her mind for weeks, fear which had nothing to do with her job presented itself with the force of blow.
 To dismiss the fear, she burst out irritably, "Whats 1t all about, Dan? Where are we going from here? I'm sick of our life"
 He got up and stood beside her chair, looking down at her quiz zically. Its not much of life, is 1t, Mariana"
 "If you only made a little more If I could only stay at home like other wives" It had been long time since she had blamed him. Perhaps 1t was the nagging fear, the need to lean and have confi- dence in leaning.
 He asked kindly, Would you like that, Marian?"
 She thought of her place in the business world, the place fol which she had fought and strug' gled. Thinking of 1t, she failed to get the usual lift. Her life wal suddenly flat and meaningless But 1t was the life she had made for herself and absolutely neces. sary to her.

often-expressed preference for the
Teuton over the Slav, he wanted Ger
many defeated in the World War.
Mahan was convinced, Captain
Puleston tells us, that the Teuton
had come so under the domination
not merely of an arrogant military
caste, but of the ideas of that caste,
that the immediate necessity of civ
ilization is a defeat which shall hum
BILE them to the dust for the moment,
but not crush them. If later the
Slav became equally threatening, all
Western Europe would combine
against him" Then, in a peculiarly
prescient and prophetic passage, Ma
han added: ITO each generation its
own task; to us, the Teuton aggres-
siveness to be repressed."
That was put down more than
forty years before Germany's seizure
of Austria and Czecho-Slovakia.
"Mahan' should be required reading
for isolationists who think President
Roosevelt was war-mongering when
he sought last month to "repress
Teuton aggressiveness."

Need Of District
Children Cited.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Within a stones throw OF my home
is a white family consisting Of father,
mother and eight children oldest 49,,
who live in tumbled down old country
house with no running water, electricity
or sanitary conveniences. The father
has been without work most Of the time
for several years. They lived in the
District for some years, but moved out
for while, and although they are now
back they have not been living here for
one year as yet, so are not eligible for
District relief or job through the Dis
trict relief. The church is helping them
some, but its funds are limited and this
help is only drop in the bucket COM
pared to the needs of 10 people. Con-
sequently, much of the time they have
nothing but cabbage or potatoes to eat
when they have the cabbage and pota-
toes. At one time they lived on potatoes
and tomatoes for three months. These
were donated by a nearby farmer.
How in the name of all common sense
can we find money to feed thousands of
German children while our own are
allowed to starve right under our eyes!
We are like one Of Dorothy Dixs favor
ite Characteristic parent who is the
Big Hearted Charlie, with enough money
to give to charitable cause while his
own children go ragged! R. M.

The Wurrinq Plea

Emmitt Warning, who gambled
freedom against fortune in a strong
arm, bribe-dispensing lottery racket,
is down on his luck. The so-called
big shot of the local numbers game
has drawn a number that was not in
his book-a number reserved by the
Government for convicted violators
Of its laws. The head man of the
notorious Warning gang was going
along nicely for a withdrawing mil
lions of dollars in pennies and nickels
and dimes from gullible small l-time
investors" and failing to tell the
Bureau of Internal Revenue all the
details. The police bothered him
very little, and when the income
tax agents finally got on his trail
about mysterious deductions, he made
it plain why the police were not a
problem. The deductions, he ex-
planned, were for protection"
Whether such bribes actually were
paid or not, the fact remains that the
Warning numbers racket continued to
prosper until the Federal income tax
officials and the District Attorneys
office threw monkey wrench in the
machinery by indicting Emmitt and
his two brothers for conspiring to de-
fraud the Government of taxes. EN-
mitt apparently had heard that
money could beat nearly any rap,
however, and he worked out plan.
If he tested it at his first trial, it did
not work so well-although he did get
the benefit of hung jury He went
to work on the second jury, however,
and won twenty-six months SEN
tence for jury tampering. That was
the definite turning point in the
youthful gamblers luck. He brought
his third trial to a sudden close
Friday by pleading guilty to income
tax conspiracy.
The imprisonment of Emmitt and
the sentencing of the other alleged
tax conspirators will not bring this
sordid case to a satisfactory con-
clusion. Justice will not have been
completely served until the police
have been cleared of the suspicion
aroused by the brazen claims of
venality presented at the trials.

The Highway Survey

The extensive traffic survey Just
begun by the Highway Department in
cooperation with the Bureau of
Public Roads constitutes most i'm
portant step in efforts to smooth the
fabric of local arteries and to match
them better with the Federal system.
In connection with the admins
tration's proposals for expansion and
improvement of the Federal chains
of highways, both because Of their
potential military Importance and
the constantly rising traffic demands,
the Districts system is to be exam
ined from beginning to end.
A mass of field data will be COL
lected by engineers working under
the direction of Captain H. c. White
hurst, highway director, and c. E..
Swain, regional director of the Fed
eral bureau. They will study the ex-
isting District system, its capacity
and condition in relation to the Fed
eral system and those of neighboring
Jurisdictions. The results are to
serve as basis for future appropria-
ton requests.
All modern facilities are to be en-
ployed in the survey. Batteries of
both stationary and portable "elec-
trio eyes" are to be used to make
automatic counts of vehicles as they
pass before the gadgets.
The Districts system is not to be
torn up just to be replaced, but
rather clear chart is sought as to
how best to fill present gaps, to ham
die the increasing volume of traffic,
to ease its flow and reduce the
hazards. At times in recent years
major projects have been adopted,
somewhat haphazardly, to meet seri-
Gus problems caused by sensationally
rapid growth of population, all in
spite of the best efforts of District
officials to plan flve-year programs
Co-ordinated work by District and
Federal experts, viewing the prob
lens as of mutual concern, should
bring results helpful alike to the
District and to Congress,

SANDY SPRING, MD.

SANDY SPRING, Md.
Dear Sir: In your article in The Star
OF April 81 you say, There is no use put
ting out birdhoase for chickadee. It
doesn't use them.'
"On Tuesday, the 18th, we put out
two houses for the house wrens, as is our
custom. Next day, much to our sur
prise, a pair Of chickadees took possess
sion Of the best-looking house and be-
gan diligently taking in material for
nest.
This morning the wren arrived and
found the house he seemed to prefer
occupied.
II saw him go to the door and look in,
then perch on another limb, sing while,
then go away.
"Soon after a chickadee looked out
very cautiously, flew away, and came
back in a few minutes and went in the
box again. I did not have time to watch
further.
Nov am wondering what will hap
pen. Will the wren take the other house
or will the chickadee give up to the wren?
Another item of interest to me: One
day last summer, after a rain, a robin
was going over the yard looking for
worms, and sparrow stayed near by.
when the robins head came up with
worm in its bill the sparrow snatched
it SO quickly that the robin looked as If
he wondered what happened, but he did
not attempt to drive the sparrow away.
Il always read your column with in
terest. Yours sincerely, L. D. c."
"P. S.-After had sealed this letter
heard the wren and looked out to see
her Cor him) going back and forth In the
box taken by the chickadees, and throw
ing out feathers as fast as she could. I
am wondering where the chickadees are"
Heb, heh, or other indications of mirth
OF course the wrens would drive out
the chickadees, that's the reason they
seldom take to man-made boxes.
Chickadees normally prefer home in
natural tree cavities deserted woodpecker
holes in old stumps or fence posts.
They do, upon occasion, try to utilize
a man-made birdhouse usually wren
house. with the results given by our
correspondent, in most cases.
No chickadee is match for wren.
Usually the female Of the species is the
more belligerent.
The male wren arrives upon the scene
first, in practically all instances, the fe-
male following several days later.
Often the male selects home, tries to
carry in nesting materials, only to find
