Unless something happens

known as the American Lea
CUES humpty dumpties.
A sixth straight defeat was
pinned on the Tigers as they
bowed to Washington. 6 to 1,
last night with the result that
Detroit now is at the lowest
point Of its seasons performance
and apparently ready to yield
fifth place.
The Senators, winning their
second straight in the series,
made Buck Newsom their vic
tim before $1,000 fans, giving
old Bobo his 18th defeat, while
Dutch Leonard held the Tigers
to nine scattered hits and had
q shutout until the ninth.
Young Hal Newhouser drew
Detroit's pitching assignment in
the series finale today. He was
expected to oppose Ken Chase.

hits, Washington also used De-
troit errors to help with the
run-making. In losing, the
Tigers gave the Philadelphia

fifth place; the Tigers have only

THIS AND THAT
Bu Charles z. TrdcetUell.

Time and time again he poked his
head beneath the surface.
He held it there for several seconds
at time.
Now and then he would move around,
as if anxious to get the water all over
him.
Once he went up over the side.
After he had turned around and looked
back at the water, he seemed to have
no difficulty in making up his mind.
He got back in again.
All in all, he must have bathed for
fully 10 minutes before he left for good.
Yet this Is the only time we ever have
seen one of these true oddities of nature
bathe. Probably they do it every day,
as cleanly creature must in hot
weather.
1t would be difficult to make a guess
as to just how much territory each turtle
claims for his own roaming ground.
Our guess is that no one specimen goes
very often out of the block. Now and
then they do, and then they are seen
crossing streets, in defiance of all traffic
regulations.
There are few scenes more painful
than this. Dogs and cats must have at
least little conception of the dangers
they run.
Turtles, on the other hand, not only
have no realization at all, but nature has
made them so slow-footed that they have
no chance at all. A crushed tortoise is
not very pretty sight.
Perhaps it should be said at this point
that the use of turtle is a good United
States-ism.
The word turtle" really applies to the
sea specimens, but in this country the
land and fresh water tortoises are also
called turtles.
Terrapins are any of many species of
tortoises living in fresh or brackish
waters
These little fellows, all green which
you see in the and 10 cent stores, are
terrapins. Some species are unable to
eat their food except in water. They are
not able to live in water, but have a
stone or other rest in the air.
Indoors they must be fed scraped beef.
and given plenty of sunshine, else they
tend to go blind. Lack of beef and sun
is often responsible for blindness in
them. Sometimes a plentiful diet of
beef, with sunshine and cod-liver oil,
will cause them to regain their sight.
-
1t is impossible to keep real garden
turtle" confined. The only thing to do
is to let it roam as it pleases. AS long
as nature guides them, and keeps them
from the streets, they are comparatively
safe Few animals can harm them.
They simply retire into their shells,
after which they have little odor to
attract animals.

All this, it should be remembered,

Sitka, Alaska. The threat of winter
is one of the goads which is driving
Hitler to the decision" he realizes
he must have before he can resume
the war on Britain. Should he fail
in Karelia, the end of his entire ad-
venture in world dominance might
be at hand. The eyes of millions
accordingly are directed toward the
barren tongue of land between Lake
Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland.

Discusses Price Advances,
Asks About Their Effect.
To the Editor of The Star:

/ o tne EuLtoI u nc oea4'
Speaking to a group of farmers in
Greenville, N. c., on July 25, j. B. Hut
son, president of the Commodity Credit
Corp, stated that our stocks of f1ue-
cured (cigarette) tobacco were 500.-
100000 pounds above normal, cotton
5000 900 bales above normal and wheat
400 900 900 bushels above normal.
So far, so good Now if we really do
have such stocks, then why does the
price of cigarettes remain the same as
they have been for number of years?
In the face of almost years supply
of cotton and wheat, why have prices
taken such a jump?
Here are Just few samples of prices
and the increase in the past three
months: Three months ago prices to the
farmer for hogs on the foot were about
612 cents, today they are about l11a-a
gain on paper of about five cents per
pound. Fine for the farmer! But when
he takes his hog to market the de
ducts" start to work. The great ma
iority are penalized for soft or oily
hogs" and the net result is from l to
8 cents a pound off the market top
price. Does this reflect in the retail
price of meat? If it does, then you try
and find it!
Three months ago lard was cents a
pound-today it is 15-a rise OF almost
100 per cent. Hams that sold for Is cents
(whole) now bring 80 to IS cents-about
80 to IS per cent gain. Bologna, which
sold for 10 cents pound, is now ls
cents-almost 100 per cent up. Other
meat prices are in proportion. Salmon
which sold for 10 cents per can is now
II cents. About 10 per cent up.
With our great stocks of wheat, flour
which sold for 81 and 80 cents for II
pounds now sells for 40 cents-a rise OF
some 25 to 80 per cent.
Coffee, which Brazil is burning be-
cause she can't sell it, is up from 161z
to 20 per cent.
These are merely samples of the rise
in prices. AS we all know, other prices
have advanced accordingly.
1t is about time for some one to begin
asking questions OF those IN autn0rlty-
and the main one to ask is: Where does
the average man come in-the white.
collar worker whose salary takes no rise,
but who bears his just share of the tax
burden of our country? Who's going to
see that his interest is protected and
that he gets fair deal?

yours very truly, NJ S."
The most familiar of fresh-water ter
rapins in the Eastern section OF the
country are the spotted and painted
turtles, so-called.
The painted turtles are recognized by
the pink border of the shell.
The spotted turtles, the most common,
are told by the yellow spots on the dark
shell.
IT, as we believe, our correspondent 5
turtle" belongs to the latter class, the
best way to take care of 1t is to do Moth
ing at all.
1t will find its own food, and take care
Of itself all winter.
In the spring it will come out of hiding.
Just where these creatures dig in, in city
or suburbs, is something of mystery.
There is one old fellow which has ap-
peared in our yard regularly for 10 years.
Every spring he shows up just as If he
had not disappeared all winter.
He is just an inch or so larger, each
time he appears.
Last summer we saw him take bath.
He had come across the yard from the
east, moving slowly until he came to the
small sunken bird bath at the west gate.
Like all of his tribe, he made living
of the neighborhood, catching flies and
other insects, eating small worms, and
now and then eating bread or seed and
grain put out for the birds.
When he came to the bath he crawled
I'D the edge and looked down.
This bath is 2 feet across and 2 inches
deep.
The edge is bordered by small stones,
with a background of violets, ageratum
and sedum. CThe latter Is Sedum spec
tabile)
The tortoise resembled a small tank, as
he went over the rim.
He settled down in the water with a
look of deep satisfaction on his odd face.
There is no misuse of words in saying
that his face wore look of satisfaction.
1t did.
He was just happy to be in that water,
on such hot day.

Halls Mr.. Quezon's Realization
Of Danger of japanese Invasion.

i U
The sum of $54,000,000, representing
all of the dollar balances Of the Philip
pines in the United States, has been
placed at the disposal of President
Roosevelt by President Manuel Quezon
for use in the united defense of the
Philippines from a probable Japanese
invasion of those islands, contingency
which for years Mr.. Quezon himself We
hemently has insisted was a fantasy.
But the present explosive situation OF
the Far East has brought home to MIR.
Quezon the realization of his folly. 1t
has brought home to the Filipino people
the cold fact that Philippine independ-
ence is only the empty braggadocio OF
their leaders, not an ideal whose realiza-
ton would create an enduring Filipino
nation.
Mr.. Quezon therefore deserves the
congratulations Of his people for his re-
cent action in placing virtually the en-
tire material and financial resources and
man power of the Philippines at the dis
posal of the United States Government
in It's effort to preserve democracy, lib
erty and justice not only in the Philip
pines or in the whole Orient but also
In all the civilized world.

A Closed Incident

ages have been accepted by this
Government-and properly so-as
closing the incident of the bombing
by japanese WarplaneS of the Amer
lean gunboat Tutuila on the Yangtse
River last Wednesday.
1t is quite possible that the bomb
ing of the American vessel, which
received minor damage when bomb
hit the river near her stern, was
accidental In any event, it GER
tainly was not authorized or sane
toned by the japanese government.
This incident indicates that Toxic
Is neither blind nor Indifferent to
the implications of the preliminary
economic steps which the United
States has taken in an effort to
check Japanese aggression. But it
would be rash to suppose that Japan
Is prepared to abandon her imperial
istic ambitions merely because she
is anxious to avoid an incident which
might directly provoke hostilities.
The satisfactory adjustment Of the
Tutuila incident, like the settlement
of the Panay bombing, is of very
limited significance. In no sense
can it be construed as evincing an
intent on the part of Japan to aban-
don the lawless policies which have
threatened and which still threaten
to lead to an armed clash with
Western powers having legitimate
interests in the Far East.

Conserving Gasoline

The request by Secretary IckeS for
the nighttime closing of some
100000 service stations in twelve
Eastern States. and the District is,
as he explained, an attempt to bring
about the necessary conservation of
gasoline and oil supplies through the
adoption of relatively mild methods
of control.
This move follows a breakdown Of
efforts to conserve gasoline through
wholly voluntary means. AS the
Secretary pointed out in his Radio
Forum address Monday night, gaso-
line consumption last week-while
the voluntary program was in
effect-actually increased by more
than a million and a half gallons
over the preceding week. That would
seem to demonstrate the futility of
the voluntary effort, and Mr.. Ickes,
faced with that evidence, now is
moving on to very mild form OF
compulsory conservation.
1t remains to be seen what success
will attend this latest effort Obvi-
ously, it is method which tends to
place the burden on the patriotic
citizen, for those who are not dis
posed to cooperate with the Gov
ernment in this effort at conserva-
ton still will be able to get all of
the gasoline that they want to
use-and waste.
One thing is certain, however. II
the conservative method now being
inaugurated does not succeed, it will
then be necessary to resort to hard
and fast system of rationing, pre-
sumably to be set up by act of Con-
greSs. Under such a system, all
citizens-those who are patriotically
willing to make sacrifices~as we'll as
those who are indifferent to the re-
quirements of the emergency-would
share the burden on approximately
equal terms. 1t is to be hoped that
necessity for such extreme measures
will not arise, but if the contrary is
the case they will have to be adopted.
The alternative would be to with
draw the tankerS which are now
carrying to England the oil that the
British must have to carry forward
their fight against totalitarianism
thereby accepting failure in our all
OUT aid program. That is an alter
native which would be utterly un-
acceptable to the great majority OF
Americans.

KureIiun Isthmus

Once again the tongue of land be-
tween the Gulf of Finland and Lake
Ladoga is the scene of bitter fighting.
Upon the result of the struggle the
fate of Suomi or of Russia-perhaps
the destiny of both-Will depend A
glance at the map will suffice to show
why The territory known as Karelia
is the northwest gateway to the
Soviet Union. Across it was built the
Mannerheim Line. Stain insisted
that the boundary should be pushed
back approximately sixty-five miles
in the settlement" with Finland in
1910.
The Firms, in retaliation, joined
with the Germans in drive through
the Karelian Isthmus following the
Nazi break with the Bolsheviks on
June %. But it was not until few
days ago that the campaign began
to assume aspects of military and
political Importance. If Hitler's
anticipation were fulfilled, terrific
battle in the streets of Leningrad
probably would follow. Der Fuehrer
already has promised to wreck"
the former capital, should it con-
tinue to resist. That he Is capa-
BILE of keeping such a pledge is
apparent from the ruins OF ROtter-
dam and Coventry, Belgrade and
Plymouth.
Meanwhile, Karelia-the land of
lakes and timber through which the
allied German and Finnish forces are
alleged to be advancing-is in itself
a prize little worth contesting. Only
because of its strategic significance
as an approach to Leningrad is it
valuable. The isthmus as American
travellers have seen it is tedious
desert. A description written a gen.
Grafton ago by Augustus Hare still
applies. Forests of frs" he said,
"thicken along the wayside, or woods
of birches, which have sprung up
unseen, by the strange invariable
and inexplicable habit which they
have, wherever the fir-trees have
been cut down. Night closed
in upon a weird scene of jagged pines
rising from a desolate heath against
lurid crimson sky, and left us
wondering in which of these vast
woods there were bears, and in which
we should hear the baying Of wolves,
If we were travelling through a
winters night. Low fir woods and
open cornfields at dawn, low fir
woods and open cornflelds always,
thirty hours of them, and con-
