Suburban Street Names

After years of discussion, definite
plan to rename the streets and re-
number the houses in the Metropoli-
tan Area of Prince Georges County
in accordance with the Washington
system has been announced. Dis
satisfaction with the lack of system
and the duplication of many street
names originally led to the move
ment for such plan.
It was developed by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission under specific authority
from the Maryland General Assembly
granted in 1887. A similar project
has been under way in Montgomery
County, but specific plan has not
yet been announced.
Both nearby Maryland counties are
several years behind nearby Virginia
in this respect, for Arlington County
some years ago found it advisable to
set up systematic method of street
designation.
While the Prince Georges plan,
scheduled to become effective in
June, has the Endorsement of several
important civic groups, opposition
has arisen from both individuals and
organizations since details were an
nounced.
Basically the chief objection is that
some individuals, organizations and
whole communities are reluctant to
discard names long associated with
their localities. The Park Commission
wisely is conducting hearings to as
certain sentiment on the proposed
plan. Changes may be made, 1t is
said, If constructive criticism is re-
ceived. With the affected area en-
joying rapid growth, it seems time
ly to set up definite system, but
every effort should be made to let the
county residents. who will have to
enjoy its advantages and suffer its
defects, have a voice in determining
just what that system should be.

Milk for the Needy

A1Lef TWO months OF careful study,
the Marketing Agreements Division
OF the Department of Agriculture has
approved a proposal to provide milk
at five cents quart to families on
relief in Washington.
Although tentative plans have been
worked out by the Welfare Depart
ment, final decision still must be
made by the District government on
details of distribution. One sugges-
ton is to set up ten or more dis
tributing stations in locations con-
venient to prospective patrons at
a cost to the city of from twelve to
fifteen thousand dollars. This would
include operation of the stations.
Under the scheme, producers will
receive the five cents paid by recip-
tents for milk which they heretofore
have been forced to sell at low prices
as surplus. Diaries processing, bot
Ting and handling the product will
get an additional sum, approximately
a cent and a third, from Federal
surplus commodities funds.
Thousands Of Washington families
at present are able to buy far less
milk than they need. Although only
about eight thousand will be eligible
under the proposal, since employed
loW-income families are not includ-
ed, the results undoubtedly will JUS
tify the cost through improved
health.
Experience in most cities with the
food stamp plan, with which WASH
ington's milk project is comparable,
has been most encouraging 1t has
not yet been successful in the one
community experiment where those
not on relief were permitted to use
the stamps, but it has very definitely
improved the conditions of relief
families and has done much to alb
sorb various agricultural surpluses.
OF all products, milk has presented
one of the most battling surplus
problems, largely because of it's
perishability, the volume of daily
production and the difficulties of eco
nomic processing and distribution.
The current plan offers . solution
And if it can be extended later to a
greater number of families who are
not now getting a properly balanced
diet, it will prove worthy COM
munity investment.

Protests Teacher Shift
At Industrial School.
70 the Editor OF The Star:

70 the Editor Of The Star:
Concerning the placement of appro-
priations for educational work with the
Board of Public Welfare, one wonders
where, IN some phases of this matter,
there is any economy.
At Industrial Home School there are
now four teachers employed by the
Board of Education. These teachers are
qualified by experience, education, and
training for work with delinquent chill
dren. Also, they are supervised by their
superior officers of the Board of Educa-
ton. It Is true that teachers can be
employed by the Board Of Public We'll
fare for less money, but what qualifica-
tions for the job do they have? Can
high grade, specially trained teachers
be secured at lower salaries?
Then there is the matter of school
equipment: books, paper, pencils, hand
work materials. These all cost money
and are essential to the maintenance
and running of good school. Further
more, there should be qualified super
visor for any group of teachers. A good
supervisor, in addition to the necessary
equipment and salaries for teachers,
renders the new regime an expensive
one. Who will be the qualified super
visor? Where will the money for his
salary come from? Where will the
money for school equipment come from?
The new appropriations bill provides
money for teachers; it has not provided
for all the other necessary things for
the school. Is there, then, any economy
in this change of administration? After
all, this change is made for reasons of
economy. Where is there any economy?
At present there are four well-tralned,
well-educated, qualified teachers, under
the supervision of properly qualified
persons. There is also a well-equipped
school building. In future there will be
poorly qualified teachers, no equipment,
no proper supervision. Are these chill
dren, committed to the Industrial Home
by misfortune, not entitled to the same
opportunity in education that the more
fortunate children In the regular schools
are entitled to? A. A.

ARLINGTON, Va.

Dear Sir:
while. most Of us are more interested
In the birds that one sees day by day, and
which are pretty and ornamental, and
furnish us with picturesque scenes, may
I take your time, for few minutes, to
tell OF different sort OF bird life than
one sees every day? 1t may interest you
and some OF your readers:
II refer to owls.
1T seems that certain section Of
Washington recently has had war on
rats. 1t is interesting to know that one
Darn owl will do away with as many OF
these rodents as hundred house cats.
and rats. The owls are mans friends
and the people of every community
should see that the owls are protected.
1T is in the summer that human
beings are most likely to become con-
scious of the melancholy hooting Of the
barred owl, and the screech owl, one of
the best known of these providers Of the
night It makes its nests In the deserted
holes Of woodpeckers and may retreat
into hollow trees and chimneys.
What is probably the most famous
pair Of barn owls in the world dwelt for
long time in the tower of the Smith
sonian Institution, quite surrounded by
scientists who were taken up with in
vestigation.
Just across the street was the Bio
logical Survey, the Government bureau
which studies birds to find out whether
they help or hinder man in his attempts
to raise crops to feed the multitude.
"They wanted to find out what the owl
was eating as regular diet. They had
to kill most birds and examine the con-
tents of their stomach to find out what
they ate.
But these owls in the tower furnished
the information in simpler way than by
dying to do it.
owls are greedy and gulp their food
whole. They have a sort of mill inside
them.
THAT milhseparates the good from the
OdO-tAldt ID, Vic ulRcSIlDle pdTLS from
the indigestible, such as bones and hair
rolls these bad parts up in a pellet,
puts it on the elevator, and sends it up,
and the owl discards it by regurgitation.
THE scientists examined 200 pellets
and found the owl the greatest mouse
eating bird in the world.
Nobody needs to be told how to tell
owls from the other birds.
There are no other birds anything
like them that might be confused with
them
Through the ages they have had a
large place in art and In story and their
peculiar forms are imprinted on every
mind
Upright they sit, looking wondrous
wise.
And their eyes-did you ever notice
this thing about the eyes of an owl
the fact that they are set in the front
OF its head like those of human being?
The owl looks at you with both ewes.

Sees Continuing Travesty
In Elections.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Gen. johnson may be right as to the
composition Of the coterie which, hav-
ing received the accolade from the
"Chief Executive" undertook to govern
us and to oust Congress from its proper
function.
And he also may be right in saying
that "an old-school Democrat" at the
head Of the Government could cure
the depression almost over night.
But how can the people be assured
that one who presents himself as such
will prove to be such in ONCE? Do you
not remember the Democratic platform
Of 1882? What became Of it?
The truth is that so long as candidates,
having become elected persons, can fiout
their campaign representations, and
even their oaths of oflce, with impunity,
the people will continue to be deluded
by candidates, and elections be but q
travesty. HARRISON TuaEn6AN.

Block Thut Run

All too often candidates for public
off1ce run on vague, meaningless
platforms, whose planks are abstract
entities like social justice, the right
to work, full dinner pals and garages,
etc., entirely forgetting that their
opponents, who are not complete
boneheads, are coming out strong
for the same items. Occasionally
they become trifle more specific.
and favor balanced budget or keep
Ing out of war; but even then they
rarely say how they propose to
accomplish these, ends.
Not so Rufe Connor. Frankly and
fearlessly he raises a burning issue.
In his own stirring words, he says,
'The greatest injustice on the face of
the earth today is runs in stockings.
Just elect me district clerk of Madi-
son County, Texas, and I'll do some
thing about it."
Here is evidence of great clarity of
thought. The average man might
waste time pondering such minor
problems as the collapse OF entire
nations, wars, floods, famines, op-
pressive taxation, unemployment
and poverty. Rufe brushes these
trivia aside and concentrates on the
most important issue-runs in silk
stockings. Furthermore, he tells how
he will stop them. He says that if
elected, he will write the President
about it, the President will address
Congress and Congress will take it
up with China and Japan. After the
effort gets that far, momentum will
carry it the rest of the way and
China and Japan will probably have
no great trouble in shaming their
silk worms into doing better Job.
