the story which we have to accept.
Diagnosis Overlooked
The diagnosis of these cases is
almost always overlooked. This is
natural because hardly anybody car
ries in mind the possibility of such
a condition. Most of the patients are
women of somewhat substandard
mentality.
Foreign bodies in the stomach
cause serious complications some
times and produce alterations in the
stomach walls. They may even eat
their way clear through the stom-
ach, resulting in perforation and
peritonitis. ~.
Surgical treatment, in general, is
quite satisfactory. The alterations
usually clear up after the foreign
body has been removed from the
stomach.
The moral is: don't be an ony-
chophagist or a hair-eater.

FOR THOSE of my readers who
like large words, I suggest "onycho-
phagy." An onychophagist is a
person who habitually bites his fin
ger-nails. Some people also habit
ually swallow hair which they pull
out Of their own heads. Every once
in while a puzzled doctor comes in
contact with what is known as be-
Soar, or hair ball, in the stomach,
which is mass Of hair and finger
nails.
This condition usually arises in
people Of subnormal mentality. A
typical case was that of a servant
gir, 10 years old, who complained
SSfnausea and vomiting. There had
Oeen a rapid loss Of weight and con-
Siderable weakness. She admitted

Suggests Method Of
Staying Out Of War.
To the Editor Of The Star:

The subject of how to keep America
out of war presents two questions,
namely: Why America should keep out
Of the present war, and how?
First: Our experience in the last Euro
pean war demonstrated the futility of
our participating in the wars of Europe,
and its disastrous repercussions upon our
social economic and financial welfare
and upon our political institutions should
be warning to us. Another such ex-
perience in our present social, economic
and financial condition with an unbal-
anced budget and probable indebted
ness Of Sc, 900 600, 900 would be likely to
bankrupt our Government and jeopardize
our free institutions.
The present war Is not being fought
for any principle, disclaimers to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, but Is a revival
of the age-old conflict for power, or to
preserve the balance OF power in Europe.
Such issues have for US none, or q very
remote relation. and our detached and
distant situation invites and enables us
to pursue course Of absolute neutrality,
4 course which will insure our security
and material welfare no matter how the
war may end. provided we maintain the
means Of adequate defense.

trality. BY keeping our people intelli-

In Pruise of d JUDGE

Justice Bolitha J. Laws of District
Court we'll deserves the fine tributes
paid to him by his friends at a testi-
monial dinner arranged by the Cor
rectlons Committee of the Council of
Social Agencies. The honors were
bestowed in recognition of the jur-
lists outstanding" contribution to
criminal justice during the past year.
He was characterized as a Judge
with a heart" because of the human
qualities with which he tempers his
particular brand of justice.
Justice Laws was drafted for serv-
ice on the local bench while he was
president of the District of Columbia
Bar Association. He was chosen by
former Attorney General Homer
Cummings for two reasons: First,
because Mr.. Cummings was con-
vinced that Mr.. Laws is unusually
well endowed with the attributes
requisite to Federal judgeship and,
second, because he is especially fitted
to serve in District Court through his
familiarity with the peculiar legal
problems of the District of Columbia,
where the Federal court tries many
cases of the type handled exclusively
by State tribunals in other jurisdic-
tions. BY reason of these qualifica-
tions Justice Laws was able at once
to assume his full share of the bur-
den OF administering justice in
Washington. He has assisted in re-
lieving docket congestion and in
speeding up justice by instituting the
new pre-trial procedure for civil
cases.
incidentally, there is urgent need
right now for appointment of a Judge
to succeed the late Justice Joseph w.
Cox. Attorney General Murphy, who
indicated yesterday that successor
already has been agreed upon al
though the nomination will not be
made at this time, will have rendered
a real service to the District if he
has recommended the appointment
of a capable Washington lawyer to
fill the vacancy on the local bench.
The District Bar Association has
unanimously indorsed for the job one
OF its members, United States Attor-
ney David A. Pine. Like Justice Laws,
Mr.. Pine is possessed OF unusual legal
talents and, by reason of his services
as District Attorney, is thoroughly
familiar with the procedure in Dis
trict Court. Appointment without
further delay of such a man would
afford tremendous relief to the al
ready overburdened court and would
be material contribution to the
cause OF prompt, fair and effective
justice in Washington.

Firefghting Efficiency

A move toward greater economy
and efficiency in the operation of
Washington's Fire Department is in
dicated in the announcement that
a special committee of District Off
cials has completed it's survey and
will recommend the consolidation of
a number of fire stations in various
sections Of the city. Which COM
panies are involved is not made pub
lie at this time, pending the drafting
OF formal report for Congress. This
survey was ordered by the House at
the last session, the reason behind it
being that the present station setup
was designed many years ago before
motorized vehicles were available,
and when each firehouse was planned
to serve much smaller section of
the city than now is possible.
AS part of fire prevention
week, the matter is of particular in
terest. The department which pro-
tects the Capital has an exceptional
record Of efficiency. At an annual per
capita cost of approximately four
dollars, the fire loss is held in normal
years to slightly over sixty cents for
each person. Underwriters ratings
list per capita losses of less than a
dollar and fifty cents as very low"
Yet with the consolidation of some
stations, thereby enlarging the dis
tricts covered from each, the ques-
ton Of undermining the departments
equipment is important. The 1910
appropriation bill carries fifty-f1ve
thousand dollars for new vehicles.
These will consist Of four pumping
engines, one aerial ladder, two chiefs
cars and two passenger cars. This is
only small part OF what is needed
IN the interest Of economy and eff
cheney. When the appropriation bill
was being considered, it was disclosed
that thirty-four of thirty nine pump
Ing engines were more than ten years

In Defense of Finland

The United States has initiated
great humanitarian effort to save
little Finland, with which this coun-
try has special ties of friendship
from the clutches of Soviet Russia.
which in the last two weeks has
established it's dominance over three
small Baltic nations Estonia, Lat
via and Lithuania-and looks now
to broader hegemony, possibly over
Scandinavia. Although Moscow has
made no statement of its intentions,
II is obvious that it was fear of Rus
sian domination that persuaded
King Gustav of Sweden to call a
conference later in the month of the
three Scandinavian Kings and the
Finnish President.
1t is symptomatic of the peculiarly
American interest in Finland's fate
that the United States Government
has acted independently of, but par
allel to, Sweden, Norway and Den
mark to forestall subordination of
Finland to her giant neighbor by ex-
pressing to Russian Premier-Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslaff Molotoff
through Ambassador Steinhardt it's
earnest hope" that nothing will
occur which may affect injuriously"
peaceful relations between Russia
and Finland.
The American Government. while
supporting the three Scandinavian
countries, has acted on it's own
initiative to stay the heavy hand
which hovers over Finland and casts
its dark shadow over free, democratic
Sweden and Norway. 1t is remark
able that this was done before it is
known exactly what Russia plans to
ask or demand from Finland, and be-
fore the Firms even admit that any
demands have been made upon them.
But if the recent Estonian, Latvian
and Lithuanian negotiations are any
clue to Russia's intentions, the fear
that Moscow will demand drastic
strategic, territorial concessions from
Helsinki's emissaries is justified.
Gone is the anti-imperalist facade
of Bolshevism. Moscow has en-
barked on a brand of imperialism
which far outstrips anything the
Cars ever attempted. It is natural
that Soviet Russia should seek now,
while its expansion is under way, to
recover what the Czars once held.
That has practically been accom-
plished with respect to Poland and
the three Baltic states with which
agreements have already been con-
cluded. But Finland and the stra-
tegic Aaland Islands, although for
merly part Of Russia, remain outside
the Soviet orbit.
The islands, = self-governing, neu-
Evening star., 1939-10-14
Rational Debate

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
and Frank Knox, recent Republican
nominee for the vice presidency,
have made substantial contributions
to rationalizing the debate on the
neutrality issue by denouncing efforts
to create the belief that the Presi-
dent is seeking repeal of the arms
embargo because he is desirous of
leading this country into the Euro
pean war.
While those who openly impugn
the motives of the President have
constituted very small minority
of the opponents of the administra-
tion's neutrality program, their
efforts, if unchecked, might seriously
interfere with the calm and intelli-
gent consideration which the i'm
portance of the subject requires.
This applies to the embargo repeal
issue, and will be even more i'm
portant when the Senate begins
consideration of amendments to the
carry" section of the adminiStra-
tion's bill. 1t is extremely gratifying,
therefore, that two such prominent
Republicans as Senator Taft and
Mr.. Knox should reafflrm their faith
In the Presidents determination to
keep this country out of war. In
view OF the position they have taken,
1t will be difficult in the future for
others, whose thinking has been dis
torted by selfish, partisan considera-
tions, to make political capital out
of the neutrality issue by bringing
Mr.. Roosevelt's good faith into the
debate.
Both Senator Taft and Mr.. Knox
urged that the arms embargo be
repealed as contribution toward
keeping this country out of the war,
but Senator Taft indicated that he
was not entirely satisfied with the
so-called cash and carry" provi-
slons OF the bill that the administra-
tion would substitute for the existing
legislation.
Several other Senators have raised
objections to the carry" provisions.
contending that as now drafted they
might have the effect OF excluding
American shipping from waters
where there would be virtually no
danger from belligerent warships, al
though the resulting loss to our
merchant marine could be very
substantial.
This phase of the neutrality oues-
ton is one which merits earnest con-
sideration when the Senate takes up
amendments to the bill, and should
be approached with view to insur-
Ing a maximum of safety with a
minimum of needless damage to our
own shipping interests. 1t is hardly
necessary to repeat that there will
be no place in such a delicate dis
cussion for any ill-founded attacks
on the integrity of the President or
any other public official.
