Argues That Congress
Should Not Sacrifice Duties"

SnOul0 NOT SaCrlHce Duties.
To the Editor of The Star:
II Congress insists upon abditating in
favor Of executive usurpation OF uncon-
stitutional power, the people should not
be expected to make additional sur
renders of rights which will place them
entirely at the mercy of dictatorship.
The powers of Congress are not privi-
legeS but duties. Consequently, any sur
render by Congress Of any part OF such
powers constitutes betrayal OF the re-
public by public servants who have
sworn to defend it. Our Constitution
requires the legislative, executive and
judicial powers of the Government to
be forever kept separate and distinct.
II Congress really wants to make
Sacrifices" why not make real sacri-
fees of things which Congressman have
the right to surrender. such as salary.
mileage allowances, etc? When it at
tempts to sacrifice the rights of the
American people to the safeguards OF
our Constitution, the members who are
so guilty should not be honored for pre-
tended generous self-sacrifice, but
should, instead, be punished.
Those false leaders who preach the
sacrifice of cardinal principles of liberty,
and of the safeguards of our Constitu-
tion. as supposed means of saving our
Republic, are Haunting the well-known
warming of the Supreme Court of the
United States lex parte Milligan, 4 Wall
q that "a country preserved at the sac
rifice Of all the cardinal principles Of
liberty, is not worth the cost Of pres
ervation."
Those who talk about ensuring the
restoration of liberty by a provision
limiting the period OF it's destruction
cannot escape conviction of knavery
otherwise than by showing of stu
pidity. GEO. E. SULLIVAN.

Intolerance Regarded
As "SeIf-PreSeryatiOn."
TAXI RIDER.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
AS the controversy over aid to Brit
ain grows more bitter, we begin to
hear the cry that freedom of speech is
being violated
The reason for this is not obscure. In
normal times the injunction to suffer
fools gladly Is almost part OF the Bill
Of Rights. If man means well"
there is no kind OF nonsense that a
patient public will not indulge in him.
The greatest deliberative body in the
world" has set an example of endless
irrelevance, and better things are not ex-
pected Of the man in the street. Every
one Is entitled to his day in court, to a
full, unheckled hearing.
But in times of great peril this easy
tolerance suffers sea change into
something less agreeable. Good in
tentions are not enough when the hour
demands informed judgment. Imbecili-
ties must not delay us when delay may

and the author of THE jungle
Books now have abandoned the
swastika to Der Fuehrer. 1t Is a
small concession, doubtless, but it
raises an important question. Sooner
or later, millions of people perforce
will be obliged to ask themselves to
what further extent they voluntarily
will surrender values hitherto held
precious. There must somewhere be
a place and eventually time when
tyranny will be resisted by people of
every race and nation simply because
it is tyranny and for that reason
hateful

Suggests Listing Vacancies
In Apartment Building Lobbies.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Resident managers Of local apartment
units could save themselves and apart
ment hunters a tremendous amount of
trouble If they would list available
apartments in the lobbies of their build
ings, giving location, number Of rooms,
price and terms of lease.
Recently while hunting for an apart
ment-after climbing numerous stair
ways and riding elevators, until too tired
to go further-we stumbled into one
building and saw list as outlined above
hanging in the lobby. We do not know
who was responsible for this thought
but we do know that whoever he was

Further west, through Arizona and
New Mexico, were the powerful Navaios
and also many people linguisticaly re-
lated to the Aztecs. one of the most ad-
vanced of all New World peoples. Then,
in California, were numerous other prim-
itive tribes, some with only handful of
members, all speaking languages distinct
from one another or only remotely
related
1t is known that the Navajos and also
the ancestors of the Aztecs came orig
inally out of the north. Study of these
linguistic pictures, says DR.. Swanton, in
a bulletin just issued by the Bureau of
American Ethnology, leaves little doubt
that originally, perhaps many centuries
before the coming of the white men, the
whole area from Texas westward was
occupied by the primitive, babel-tongued
people. The Aztec and Navajo drives
cut them in two and left the Texas con-
tingent squeezed against the powerful
Muskogeans to the east.
OF some Of their languages not the
slightest record was made OF others
rather meager vocabularies were re-
corded by missionaries and Spanish and
French explorers. The early Texans
whom DR.. Swanton is helping save from
complete oblivion are the Caohuiltecans,
the Karankawans, the Taumalipecans
and the Janambrians, all of whom played
a part in the story of Texas settlement
sufficient to attract white attention. 1t
was for the Coahuiltecs that the Spanish
mission of San Antonio de Valero, which
afterward became the ill-fated Alamo,
was established

Select Girdle
For Comfor+
And Line
BY DONNA GRACE

WHETHER WE call them cor
sets or gridles, every mature
figure should wear some type Of
foundation garment. Some girls
in their teens are improved with
nice firm little girdleS. but there
is no rule that calls for this.
We believe mothers are the best
judge when it comes to such
things. Fat girls should wear
not only girdles but bras as
well.
Some slender women go with
out girdles until they begin to
notice rolls al midriff In most
Instances the support gives them
a much better figure. Even slen-
der women should have 4 nicely
fitted sundergarment for that
well-groomed look. Clothes fit
better and the whole appearance

Be Fitted
These foundations should be
fitted even though you know
your size and always buy the
same model. Go to the fitting
room and let the experts see
whether or not it is suitable 10

is nearly always a little TO take

the front or at the top.

Expert Knows

The expert knows Just what
the figure needs and how to fit
a garment without the use of
heavy stays. Bias pieces and
cores are planned TO control
bulges so one can wear a new
girdle and still move and sit
easily.
Wear your girdle at all times
even with a housecoat or Stacks.
but refuse TO wear anything that
retardS supple movements or
breathing. The bra. too, should
be a perfect fit without too
much fullneSs over the bust and
certainly without restriction.
Rolls and bulgeS can be liqui-
dated. but don't expect the cor
set to do this. 1t won't! Don't
insist on a small size. While it
may pull in the waistline. the
fat will be pushed over the top
and give the figure unnatural
contours.
