Question About Fuel Saving
Raised by Spokesman for ROomers.

To the Editor of The Star:
Landlords burning coal-not fuel oil
are charging the same rent for rooms as
when they kept them healthful and
comparatively comfortable. They are
not suggesting lowering the rent though
they are most certainly saving money at
the roomers' expense, for they are saving
coal! The rooms are not more than
halfway comfortable at night, and there
is no heat in the morning to dress by
before one ventures forth into the dark,
shivering weather to stand on wind
swept platforms while crowded street.
cars rush past without stopping.
Why in the name of good health and
just one measly bit of comfort isn't
something done to regulate this situa-
ton? VOX POPUL1.

Another Witness Testifies
To Difficulty Hearing Warning.

To the Editor of The Star:
B.C.H.'s letter in The Star regarding
the blackout struck a responsive chord
in my brain.
had heard "a few minutes previously
that blackout was expected that eve
ming and I already had made the neces-
sary preparations and was sitting with
the radio very low-Waiting for the
alarm. heard it, yes, but so very family
that the horns, whistles or whatever Is
used sounded like kids making noise
on Halloween-or automobile horns
blowing. something of that sort. If my
radio had been on as radios are usually
tuned-or if there had been any con-
versation-in all probability would not
have heard the alarm at all.
There is one whistle in the neighbor-
hood am told it is at the laundry OF
the Soldiers Home-that really does a
good Job. 1t was blown on the "all clear"
and there was no mistaking the meaning.
If it could be blown for the "lights-out'
warning it would help considerably.
However, it is doubtful If any one is kept
on duty at night at the laundry of the
home, consequently it takes little time
for some one to get there to blow the
whistle But when 1t blows it really can
be heard Il live in the Petworth section,
not far from ST. Pauls parish house)
often have wondered why radio sta
tions did not announce blackouts-either
real or practice-and now I find that
others also have that idea. Personally,
think 1t is good. The stations would
have to get off the air If it were the real
thing, but they could take time to flash
the warning-a dozen words or so would
be sufficient-and that warning would
reach large percentage of the people
indoors and who might not otherwise
hear these "tin-horn" alarms. Let's have
a "tryout" on the radio. r. r. G.

to be published. The press, radio and
movies will carry millions of words
OF impressions for the "stay-at-
homes" So it should happen that
the American community will be re-
lated to its global neighbors every
where as no dreamer hitherto has
dared to hope. The ultimate results
may be problematical, but there can
be little question about the efficiency
of the processes now in active effect.

Suggestion Offered to Accommodate
Obiector to Darlan Arrangement.
To the Editor of The Star:

TO the EDITOR OF Tine Star:
1t may appear a bit caustic, but am
so fed up on the continued harping of
Wendell Willkie that would like to see
President Roosevelt do something for
him. The rest of us can take 1t, but
apparently Mr.. Willkie can't. recon-
mend a cabinet post for him. Secretary of
the Department of Harpists.
Out-of-Step WILKES suggestion that
we open" second front came at a
time when, as he did not know, that front
was already well under way in Africa
Today, as peruse my paper, find Mr.
Willkie bowling about the temporary ara
rangement with Admiral Darlan. That,
too, offers proof that something must be
done for Mr.. Willkie. hence the sug-
gestion that he head the Department for
Malcontents.

produce such net result-just what, If
anything at all, is being done about the
gilded salaries of labor leaders and
union treasures fattened to astronomical
proportions from tribute levied upon
those who wish to work in their country's
defense?
Privately endowed institutions, both
educational and philanthropic, face a
complete drying up of income source by
virtue of the 900 limitation upon SAL
aries. The sight of labor bosses, together
with their allies, the labor politicians,
growing rich out of Americas war effort
is one that fills the soul of simple, home
loving, devoted patriots with relatives in
the armed services with disgust.

Suggests Acoustical Adjustment
At National Gallery.

To the Editor of The Star:
That pantheonic temple of the muses.,
shrine of the arts, Washington's new Ma
tional Gallery of Art, seems to be filling
great void, judging from the throngs of
visitors to be seen there, especially at the
week ends. The free moving pictures
and stereopticon lectures and tours of
the many millions of dollars worth of
art treasures are of incalculable worth in
the cultural uplift of all corners.
And now to the company of the plas-
tic arts is being added that of the ethe-
real music, through free Sunday eve
ming programs of selected music by a
group of symphonic players.
To be sure, the eastern pavilion where
the music programs now are given is
handicapped by the present lack of
acoustical adjustment, resulting at times
in considerable confusion and harshness
in the fortissimo passages. This difficulty
is not present in the quieter parts and
no doubt will be corrected In time

Ra+ioning Teaches Discipline
And Will Lead TO VICTORY
BY BENJAMIN ECAssERES

WE ARE now on a necessary
w rationing basis. But how
many of us know why ii is
necessary to tighten up on GER
tain foods?
There's sugar. for instance.
The clearest answer TO this
question comes from the United
States Office of Emergency
Management:
QUESTION: Why is it neces-
sary to ration sugar?
"A n s w Err: Sugar is a
weapon of war. From sugar we
make alcohol and from alcohol
we make Smokeless powder.
Every time five 16-inch naval
shells are fired in a broadside a
whole acre of sugar cane goes
up in smoke and steel. Which
shall il be: sugar for ammuni-
ton TO smash the Axis or sugar
for chocolate cake ?"
And that applies to many
other foods on which we are
going short.
To win this war one thing is
necessary among the civilian
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Discipline means abstinence.
Abstinence means health.
Learn to do without. Adapt
yourselves
There will always be enough
food for us and the millions in
service. But our fighters, our
guns, bombs and ships come
first.
Remember, fellow-Americans:
War comes high. But slavery
comes higher!
And Americans. like Britons,
never shall be slaves even if
we have TO give up bread!
WITH the exception of the
w bomber and the submarine,
there is nothing new in war to-
