Recalls Pioneer Days
In Aviation Education.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
There is guidance for all forward
thinking American progressive educators
and inspiration for air-minded youth to
be found in the article on aviation in
struction by Newbold Noyes, jr., which
appeared in a recent issue of The Star
This writer hopes that more such ar
ticles will be printed.
For those who have experienced the
thrill incident to the study of aviation.
this latest educational pursuit is most
exciting and encouraging.
I recall with some satisfaction those
early flights, flying pains and forced
landings made by few daredevil educa
tors who tried to "air condition" Amer
icas schoolmen back in 1929.
Daniel Guggenheim, to his lasting
credit, sponsored and financed plans to
promote a study of aviation in our
American schools.
Dean Withers of the school of educa-
ton of New York University was named
chairman. He put into action plans
and made pioneering take-offs which all
educators must continue to do today if
America hopes to keep them flying"
For those who pleasured in some asso-
citation with this early movement we
had little compensation. The stage was
not set for the air drama as 1t now
unfolds. ERNEST CHARLES RICK.

Heroes Mourned

The price which America neces-
sarily is paying for liberty is dram
atized in the first casualty list issued
by the Navy Department since the
start Of the Second World War. None
of the men who have been loSt-a
total of 2,991-could be spared with
out sorrow. Each was living part
of his country's defense. AS group,
they represented the democratic ideal
in practice. They ranged in rank
from apprentice seaman to rear
admiral. Some were very young;
others had reached the rich fulfil
ment of their years. All portions of
the United States we're included in
the neighborhoods from which they
came to the service of their Flag.
Many left aged parents. Others are
survived by wives and infant chill
dren. 1t is impossible to read the
roster of sacrifice without tears.
But the grief of the American
people at such a moment invariably
is asSuaged to a certain honorable
extent by a sense Of pride which
millions naturally feel. The men
who have died were not slaves, the
human toys of a tyrant's whim.
Rather, they were citizens of great
republic in which each individual is
born to a tradition of freedom. 1t

choice to be sailors under the Stars
and Stripes. They did what they
wished to do-and that is their glory.
Remembering them, their fellows are
assured that the cause of civiliza-
ton never can be lost SO long as
there are brave spirits generously
responsive to hun1anity's need.
1t was in recognition of that
monumental truth that Thomas
Carlyle, the famous Scottish his
torian, wrote more than a century
ago: Hero worship exists, has
existed, and will forever exist,
universally among mankind" He
| knew that the "transcendent admir-
alton" of heroiSm is natural trait.
Even in times of peace they that

appreciated by their fellows for the
useful labor that they do lin great
waters" 1t is a normal instinct
among average people to respect the
mariners selflessness Especially

all who venture on the deep. If it
were otherwise, the race would be
ashamed
Words, of course, are little worth.
Not even the most notably gifted of
poets would be competent to frame
language equal to the merit of the
Americans of all branches of national
service whom America mourns. The
number of casualties already has
been large and will be increased from
month to month as the struggle is
carried toward final and conclusive
victory. No element of surprise is
involved in this fact The Nation

poignant clarity that liberty in the

other group-draftees and their depend
ents. Why should the men who are
offering their lives and their loved ones
be expected to make greater sacrifices
than other citizens?
The dependents of a draftee possibly
are giving up forever man whom they
love and in addition they are supposed
to live on amounts that no one can
live on in these times. The proposed
amounts of $40 month for a wife,
S35 month for the draftees mother,
and $40 month for a child are too
small
The wife. If there are no children,
can get by on $40 per month. Besides,
If there are no children, she should 20
to work.
The mother of a draftee probably
would not be able to find work because
of her age and lack of experience. How
can she possibly maintain herself on
$35 a month? One can obtain room
and board for that amount, but there
would be nothing left for clothing, and
clothing is an essential, too.
And, may ask, how is any one going
to take care of young child on $40 a
month? If there are relatives who are
able to help, perhaps the problem Is
not as great. But how many couples
have relatives who are able to take
in the draftees wife and children for
the duration? At the present cost of
living, one cannot buy food alone for
a child for $40 month.
think the mother of draftee is
entitled to and should have at least
$50 a month.
The wife, if there are no children,
can get by on $40 a month But If
there are children, the maintenance of
home, however simple and small 1t
may be, is necessary. When there are
children, think the wife's allowance
should be at least $50 a month and the
allotment for each child should be not
less than s35 month. M. STONE.

Proposes Plan for Correcting
Some Phases of Public Transportation
To the Editor Of The Star: }c s-c..sE a--o
There Is no use gripping or grousing
about the hardships and inadequacies of
transportation in wartime Washington
unless one can offer suggestion that
might solve some small phase Of the
problem that confronts us. Here is one
suggestion that came out of the long
wait on the street corner:
Issue to each commuter, who will apply
and who will attest to the fact that he is
commuter, book of IL gasoline ra-
tioning tickets weekly. Each ticket worth
0.2 gallon of gasoline at any station.
Books to be issued to each commuter,
regardless of car ownership.
Each car driver to carry sign indi-
eating the locality of his destination and
be willing to pick up passengers for that
locality at the price of one ticket each.
The V-for- victory signal to be used by
commuters desiring rides. The car driv-
ers who refused to pick up passengers
would find themselves without sufficient
gasoline to operate their cars through
out the week. The drivers who carried
the maximum possible number of pas
sengers would find themselves with suffi-
cient tickets for their Sunday trips and
possibly enough for occasional long trips
The commuters would pay for the
tickets at the rate of 10 cents each. Any
excess amounts collected over the cost
of administering the plan could be
allocated to the war effort, perhaps to-
ward the purchasing of bomber

Madagascar

Inc BRUSH OcCupatlOn OF the
French island of Madagascar, cover
ing the vital shipping routes into
the Indian Ocean, is strategic move
of the greatest importance. 1t is
even more significant, however, as
an indication of changing state of
mind on the part of the men direct
ing the conduct of the war for the
United Nations. This move by the
British has been made with the full
approval and support of the United
States, which means that the time
has passed when the initiative lay
almost exclusively with the Axis.
Henceforth the United Nations will
strike where the necessities of war
require them to strike, and they will
do so with a calculated willingness
to accept the risks which such action
implies.
1t cannot be emphasized too
strongly that Madagascar has been
occupied solely to prevent it from
falling into Axis hands. This was
not intended as an aggressive move
against France. On the contrary,
this Government and the British
have stated explicitly that Madagas-
car will be held in trust for France,
and the French people know that
pledge will be kept.
The extent to which the French
troops on Madagascar will resist the
British landing forces remains to be
determined. Early reports described
the resistance as mild" but heavy
fighting may ensue. Should the Vichy
government elect to make this move
a cause of war against Britain, it is
clear from the language Of President
Roosevelt's announcement that the
French also would find themselves
at war with the United States. That
is something which all Americans
earnestly hope can be avoided, but
nevertheless it is a price which will
be paid If necessary to prevent NADIA
gascar from falling into the hands
of the Japanese or the other Axis
powers.
A glance at the map shows why
this must be so. Lying to the east
of Africa and about halfway up the
Indian Ocean coastline, Madagascar
In enemy hands could be used effec-
lively as a base to bar the sending
of supplies to the Middle East, India
and Australia. Vichy, it is true, has
asserted an intent to defend NADIA
gascar against any attack, but it is
impossible to forget that similar as
surances were given with respect to
Indo-C China Yet this vital area fell
to the japanese with hardly a
struggle when they were ready to
march In the case of Madagascar,
1t might well have been fatal to
permit a repetition Of that expert
ence Come what may, the decision
to lock the stable before the horse
could be stolen will be universally
applauded throughout the United
Nations.

Protest From Argentina

It is easy to understand the senti-
ments which inspired the Argentine
Socialist leader, Mario Bravo, to de-
vote an article in his publication,
Argentina Libra, to a somewhat ap-
prehensive discussion of the growing
power of Brazil as result Of the
economic and military assistance
which that country is receiving from
the United States.
In brief, Bravo anticipates a posi-
Bile shift in the balance of power in
South America as a result of the tre-
mendous eXpansion-both economic
and military-which is getting under
way in Brazil and other countries
such as Paraguay under the impetus
of aid from the United States. This,
in his judgment, is potential source
of danger because, as he puts it, the
governments of Brazil and Paraguay
are democratic in form but dicta-
torial in substance. ITO what use"
Bravo asks, will uncontrolled die
tators put the immense military and
economic power which they are ac-
cumulating, thanks to United States
aid?"
The answer to this question is that
Brazil and Paraguay, with others,
have committed themselves definite
ly to the cause of the United Nations
against the Axis. They have severed
diplomatic relations with our enc
mics, thereby incurring certain risks.
Argentina, as Is her right, has not
seen fit to take such step. But the
aid which this country Is furnishing
Brazil and Paraguay in no sense re-
fleets a punitive or discriminatory
attitude toward Argentina. The fact
of the matter Is that there is limit
to the aid that we can give. Since
there is not enough, especially of
military supplies, to go around, it is
necessary to apportion it in such
fashion as will most effectively pro-
mote the prosecution of the war.
In the long run it may be true that
this will strengthen the relative po-

structed with the lared bell opening
the birds like, and are colored to attract
them.
Red is their favorite color, but they
come to other colors readily enough.
Flowers, either red or pink-including
the scarlet sage, with its small tubular
blossoms-are best of all.
Here we have some of the finest Of
the gladiolus, as we'll as many of the
newer forms of petunias.
Flowers with long neck attract them.
They like to run that long bill down
into them.
The nest of the hummingbird is one
of the smallest, being no larger than
thimble.
1t is so small and so we'll camou-
faged, that few persons ever see one,
since they are very hard to find.
Two broods probably are raised. Usu-
ally one or two eggs are laid, but three
eggs in one nest were discovered here
in 1889 by DR.. Paul Bartsch.
Occasionally a hummer may be seen
perched on a branch, but mostly we see
them while in fight. or while lowering
ever flower, wings beating the air so
swiftly that they are practically in
visible.
The rate of speed of this wing beat
ing is extremely high, several thousand
beats minute.
The admirer of hummingbirds must
take care not to be fooled by the sphinx
head moth, which a little later will
appear in the garden.
1t particularly likes phlox, and by
some persons is called the phlox bug, for
that reason.
1t is quite large, with a soft green
body, and grossamer wings. which seem
to beat almost as quickly as those of the
hummer.
The name "hummingbird" Is a slight
misnomer, since the wings do not really
hum, but whir.
The birds themselves make a sort Of
squeaking noise.
Small as they are, they are good
fighters. protecting their nests from
larger birds, and fighting ferocious bat
ties among themselves.
Several years ago in California city
ruby -throated hummingbird built a
nest in a street lamp, and there raised
her brood, nice and warm.
Sugar, maple and honey will do to fill
the glass tubes. A watery solution may
| be made. and the tube filled as much
| as 1t will hold
Various small insects find their way
to this feast, and it is a question
whether the hummingbirds come mostly
| to get them or the sweet.
The idea that the hummer is dainty
bird in all things is quite erroneous
1t is as carnivorous as they come, {
battler to the death, and no cleaner than
any other species.
The ruby-throat is the only species OF
hummingbird which visits Washington
and environs. The male is the one with
the red on him. The female Is Just
green.

Dear Sir:
Il often read your very interesting
articles about birds of which you seem
to know quite a lot, so am applying to
you for information about some, this
time hummingbirds. &C.
Last summer I visited a friend in
Massachusetts, who had a small garden
in which he had a few flower pots
adorned with colored phials to attract
these birds.
"It was quite interesting to watch
them come to drink some syrup that he
put in these phials.
It have often thought of that since
then and would like to do the same, SO
will you be kind enough to tell me just
what to do to get these very interest
ing birds to come and visit me as they
did my friend?
Thanking you for your very inter-
esting articles and trusting you will
keep on for a long time to come.
Yours truly, F. K"

the middle of April. They remain until

Any one can have hummingbirds who
plants petunias, cardinal climber, false
dragonhead, trumpet vine or gladioluses
especially the first and last.
The red clay of Georgetown is ex-
cellent soil for gladiolus growing.
In the old days we had them six and
seven feet high there, something we
have never been able to do since.
1t is true that the thrips (an insecD

Today gladiolus growing is more diff
cult, but it may be done, and certainly
there is no more rewarding flower.
It's beauty is not all. by any means.

most bell-shaped blooms.
Hummingbirds eat not only the nee
tar of flowers, but also the tiny insects
which crowd around the nectar.
The other bell-shaped blooms men,
toned will always bring hummingbirds
A window box filled with petunias is
great source of attraction. The little
flyers come readily to the window, even
when humans are inside within few
