We must keep in mind, in other words,
that we are dealing with precision mat
ters here, and that our part in getting
good reproduction mainly consists in
delivering clean record to the machine
each time it plays.
This necessarily depends upon some
method of keeping dust of records and
at the same time removing it each time
it is played.
The best method devised so far is
the album kept in a proper case.
Some English record albums have the
opening at the side, with flap to cover
it, but most American albums open at
the top and are without top covering
What happens is that the outer rim OF
the record acts as its own top, or cover,
for the precious grooves.
If albums are kept standing up, close
together in record cabinets, practically
no dust will get into the grooves. But
if a record is not played for long
time, there may be bit of surface dust.
1t is for this reason that every record
should be brushed once or twice around
before playing, either with a record
brush or a clean linen handkerchief.
There is something really beautiful
about a well-made modern photograph
record Its owner should want to keep
it beautiful as a thing, as well as
work of art.
Right from the start, the new owner
of a phonograph and records should
learn how to handle albums.
The best way is to pull the album out
of the case with the right hand. slip
ping the left hand under the book at
once, with the right hand then placed
on top immediately. In this way, there
is no chance Of the holder becoming
confused and permitting the entire con-
tents to drop to the floor
This would be a catastrophe, indeed,
and one should take steps at all times
to prevent it.
Once the album is out, and held
properly. as directed, it should be placed
fat on a table and then turned with
the top, or open envelopes, to the right.
This permits the desired record to be
withdrawn with the right hand as
before.
To some persons, such precision may
seem needless, but we can assure them
that 1t will keep records clean and safe
and result in far longer life and vastly
more musical satisfaction.
Take the matter of wiping a disk
after it has been played.
According to the type of needle used,
the residue which comes out Of the rec
ord will be either needle material or
disk material.
1t will be one or the other, in small
amount, but whichever it is, it should
be removed before the record Is put
away
A handkerchief or record brush will
do the trick completely and quickly,
and for this the record is best held
In the left hand. index or second finger
in the center, beneath, and the thumb
on the rim. In handling records. it is
necessary to transfer them from hand
to hand, at times, but 1t Is best to keep
them in the right hand as much as
possible.

A Dirty Trick

In their fight against disease, doc
tors have borrowed from chemistry,
bacteriology, spectroscopy, the x-ray,
etc. Now, believe it or not, they pro-
pose to borrow dirty trick from
European power politics-the fifth
column.
Germs, it seems, need p-amino acid.
Attempting to block their supply
only makes them madder and more
dangerous, as the little rascals will
find it somehow. A doctor from the
University Of Pennsylvania prefers
to tackle the problem from another
which have no food value for germs,
but which resemble p-amino benzoic
acid so closely that they are fooled.
Perhaps this will be made possible
because the germs are too busy to
read advertisements or listen to them
on the air. At any rate, it is expected
that the little chaps will stuff them
selves with the substitutes, wonder
ing vaguely why they are still hungry
in the midst of apparent plenty, and
paying no attention to warnings OF
few of their comrades who are far
sighted enough to realize that some
thing is rotten in Denmark. Too late
they recognize their peril, and either
Starve to death or become a mere
puShover for almost any invading
antiseptic.
The doctor in charge of these
experiments modestly suggests that
if the plan becomes perfected, his
name be left out of it, and due credit
be given where it really belongs
to Germany.

Commentators on Morale
L.


Urged to Get Facts.
To the Editor of The Star:
Mr.. Chandlee's letter captioned Ger
man Morale Weakening deserves a
few remarks.
Experience has shown that the weak
ening of the morale of any nation at
war is the CONSEQUENCE of defeat,
famine. disappointment, poor leader
ship. etc.
So far as this war is concerned, Ger
many's population today has had no
reason to be down-hearted because she
has suffered no defeats, thus no dis
appointments, and no one can claim
that the leadership is bad.
EnglandS side presents a different
picture. Defeats and disappointments
follow each other in rapid succession,
certainly not inspiring confidence or
making for high morale. Furthermore
the repeated changes OF ministers and
generals show poor leadership. So far
Englands every attempt in the diplo-
matte, military and economic field has
been frustrated by Germany.
1t is true aerial operations play a
major part in this struggle. Berlin and
London have been dealt heavy blows.
German raids have assumed regularity,
whereas the English attacks are only
sporadic. Everybody knows that Lon
don is still on the map, but only few
people know in what condition. Paris
still stands. France suffered the worst
defeat in her history. Destruction OF
London or Berlin will not decide the
outcome. fail to see how a few raids
on Berlin will lower the morale of the
Germans. Neither will 1t change the
odds in favor OF Albion. II any one
nowadays feels the urge to write about
poor morale, let him tell some facts Of
England. Germans certainly need no
inspiration from Teutonic gods or
Wagnerian opera; they had results.
So much for morale.

Protests Verbal Attacks
On President.
To the Editor Of The Star:

mo fair! No fair!" This cry of child
hood against the unfairness that grown
ups so often seem blind to comes to my
mind each time I read one of Wendell
Wilkes campaign speeches. His mud
singing remarks directed at our Presi-
dent will have a boomerang effect in
that they will turn the people against
Mr.. Willkie instead OF gaining votes for
him.
Now am no dyed-in-the-wo Demo-
crat and I was inclined to be for Mr..
Willkie, but since he began hurting his
barbed accusations at President Roose-
velt am 100 per cent for Roosevelt
and think that those Of us who are
privileged to vote will be doing our coun-
try real service by voting for Roosevelt.

Vision

Grant us, oh God, that on this life
The curtain may not rise;
Grant us, that to our vision here
May not be shown what lies
Beyond the veil Of heaven; may
We see in glorious light
Only the sun above us, or
A single star by night
Blazing in shining wonder on
The beauty of calm sea.
God grant we may not have to learn
What makes eternity.

Lee Gravely, in Johnston county
address, coupled teacher retirement
with a similar plan for all state en-

by declaring Gas he did in his plat

ployees without doing as much by its
own.
Paul Grady, if he made any
