INDUSTRY NEEDS
TRAINED WOMEN
FOR WAR WORK

As time goes on, and many more men
enter our armed forces, industry will
depend on trained women to do the work
of men. There are scores of jobs in the
making of vital war equipment, espe-
cially in aircraft manufacturing, where
women are now urgently needed.
The best way to help your country
and at the same time better your earning
capacity is to start training now. Turn

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles z. TrdceUeLl.

II finally got tired and went in the
house for moment. When I got back
they we're both gone.
Their actions after falling were, Of
course, to get over the shock and get
little strength back. 1t seemed to work.
I'VE rest after our accidents, etc, and
our strength comes back.
Don't you agree this was the reason
the SQUIRRELS STAYED put after their fall?
II always enjoy your column.
Every truly yours, G. D. B."

There is a good lesson here. all right,
which may be applied particularly to the
handling of elderly persons when they
fall.
The instinct of most persons is to rush
to them and put them on their feet
Immediately.
This is a mistake, we believe.
Persons who fall should be permitted
to lie quietly for time.
Hauling them to their feet at once not
only twists muscles already twisted, but
puts strain on other muscles and bones
ard at the same time often proves very
embarrassing.
If the fallen is permitted to lie still
much of the mental embarrassment is
overcome with the aid of soothing words
and gentle hands.
At the same time the shocked muscles
are enabled to get their own kinks out
in their own way. which is natures way,
as proved by the squirrels.
No doubt the squirrels are saved from
injury by the fact that they are non-
thinking. in our sense, and hence do not
try to think their way out Of their fall.
In other words, they are completely
relaxed.
In this way nature takes care of them
to the best of her ability.
To be able to fall perfectly relaxed Is
a Gift which some persons as well as
animals possess.
One and the same fall can break an
arm or hip or be totally without in
cident, according to whether one is all
tiehtened up or more or less completely
relaxed.
Some form of athletic tumbling would
be fine training for every one, especially
in childhood.
Vaudeville turns showed how human
beings might tumble without injury If
they knew how.
If instincts and good fortune are with
one it is possible to get nasty fall with
out harm, whereas if one falls stif1y and
at the same time tries to think his way
out of it the sef-conSciousness induced
not only makes for hard muscles, which
OF themselves tend to break bones, but
also ends the state of successful relaxa-
ton on which safety mostly depends
These premier tunblers. the squirrels,
can teach us many a good lesson if we
will watch them carefully and try to
profit from what we see.

Urges Working "Sanely"
For Lasting Peace.
10 the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor of The Star:
The slogan "In God We Trust" has
exercised a dynamic influence over the
people of the United States. 1t encour-
aged our forefathers during the difi1cult
years of pioneering-yearS fraught with
continual hardships. But they put their
trust in God and kept their vision clear.
They fought every inch of the way to
create a democracy founded on Govern
ment of the people, for the people by the
people.
We now are fighting to defend that
Government and to create world de-
mocrscy in which the inalienable rights
of the peoples of all nations shall be rec
ognized and protected. We are not wag-
ing war because of desire for power. or to
increase our wealth or to extend our ter
ritorial possessions. War has been forced
upon us and we will defend our country
to final and definite victory.
But We should not lose sight of the
important feet that we are fighting a war
of defense, and not a war of vengeance
and hate AS Christian Nation we will
defend our country as valiantly for the
love we bear it as we would if motivated
by hate for our enemy
Every American should realize that he
is one OF mighty multitude whose every
move is being watched by all other ma
tions. Our responsibilities are tremend-
Gus, but our potential powers are equally
great. We have unserving loyalty and
courage, sound integrity, unity Of pur-
pose and desire for universal and last
ing peace-a peace which will liberate
all the nations of the earth.
Let us work sanely and not 60 OF on
an emotional and hysterical spree. Love
of God and hate of humanity cannot
dwell in the same heart. Let us fan to
flame that divine spark which smold-
ers within each of us and, putting our
trust in God, go forth to meet our foes
with the full assurance of glorious VIC
tory and lasting peace

ARLINGTON, Va.

"Uear Slr.
"You mentioned something about
squirrels the other day, how interesting
they are. how acrobatic. etc.
Did you ever see a squirrel fall out Of
a tree? What happens when one does
lose his footing, or limb breaks, and he
goes down? II you ever observe such q
thing, there's a lesson in it.
Gray squirrels used to cross our yard,
when was a lad about IA years old, from
the city park to large group Of trees
behind our house. I used to observe one
big fellow who would get out on the end
of q limb of a water oak and with the
swing OF the limb, sail through the air
and grab a similar limb on the next
tree, which would bend way down with
his weight, but soon he was clambering
in toward the tree. and gone.
'Fourteen-year- boys are great ex-
perimenters, so one day notched the
second limb with knife and waited to
see the result.
Along came Mr.. Squirrel, up the tree
trunk. and out on the swinging limb,
way down, and up again to make his
grand leap. An elegant arc and a grab,
with the new limb going down with his
weight, down, down and snap!
There to the ground, squirrel and the
end OF the limb He lit hard and seemed
almost to bounce, then lay quiet.
Knocked out, thought. So I made q
Iun and grabbed at him.
He beat me to it. and coming to like
a watch spring. clambered up the nearest
tree and out Of sight just as quick.
~
"A few weeks ago I saw two squirrels
fall out of tree twice. with apparently
not much damage. One morning I
walked out on my back porch in Arling-
ton, to see couple of frisky grays hav-
ing big time chasing each other up and
down and around.
They scrambled up a tree and about
20 feet up they both lost their footing
and came tumbling down. They hit
solid and lay there. I stood and watched
One squirrel limped to the tree and
climbed about two feet up and hung
there motionless.
The other simply stayed where he
fell, on all fours. They remained thus
without a movement for fully five min
utes, then the one on the tree started
up the tree, soon to be followed by the
other.
The game started again and this time
all the way to the top Of the tree.
higher than the roof gable of the two
story house next door.
They fell again!
Both hit solid.
"One got up slowly and hung on the
tree. The other one as before. on the
ground. Both perfectly motionless.

Thinks Visitors to Capital
Should Be Discouraged.

I believe everything possible should be
done to discourage non-essential visitors
from coming to Washington for the
duration.
The housing shortage being what 1t
is and with great numbers of people
occupying hotel rooms until they are
able to secure permanent quarters, the
manufacturers, statesmen and engineers
who must of necessity come to Wash
ington regularly in order to transact
their business, are finding that even
reservations made week or more in
advance don't mean a thing.
Right now there is one hotel here
filled with school children sightseeing,
while men who have essential business
to transact must spend the night in
Baltimore and then ride back to WASH
ington the next day to keep their ap-
pointments.
Surely there is no room for visitors
and sight-seers in our Capital during
wartime. r. M. KARET.

Lower Speed Limits

A suggestion that speed limits be
lowered as a tire conservation meas
ure has been advanced in several
States, including Maryland and Vir-
einia. At Richmond, where the Gen.
eral Assembly now is in session, bills
to cut the Old Dominion's speed limit
from f1fty-flve to forty and thirty
five miles an hour already have been
introduced. The State Defense Coun-
Gil advocated such measure, ex-
planning that slower driving saves
wear and tear on tires.
Advocates claim that in addition
to saving gasoline and rubber, lower
speeds would promote safety. Old
Dominion authorities have blamed
excessive speed for many fatal acci-
dents, as the highway casualty list
rises in Virginia. On the other hand,
it has been pointed out that Virginia
for years has had a police force in
adequate in numbers to enforce COM
pletely the present fifty-five mile
limit. To lower the limit presumably
would make the enforcement job
more difficult.
Those opposed to changing the
present speed law believe that the
ban on sale of new tires and auto
mobiles will work more effectively
than q new statute in promoting
safety and conserving supplies. They
argue that Just as it is inadvisable for
an individual to make large pur-
shases Of materials made scarce by

Virqiniu Governors

Ending four eventful years in the
executive mansion at Richmond,
Governor Price of Virginia todav re-
tired from office as Colgate w. Dar-
den, jr.. of Norfolk became the Old
Dominion's sixtieth Governor under
the State constitution and the twen-
ty-fifth elected by the people
The retirement of Governor Price
ends an administration unusual in
modern Virginia history-one in
which the executive chair was occu-
pied by an individual elected with
out the support of the State Demo-
cratic "organization," while the
General Assembly was controlled by
leaders of that machine
While there were some conflicts
over legislation, the major intra-
party disputes during the past four
years were remarkably few, consid-
ering the potentialities involved. It
is true, however, that sharp and at
times bitter fights occurred in the
General Assembly, which split into
pros and ants soon after the Price
Inauguration.
Probably the achievement which
has given Mr.. Price the greatest
satisfaction was his perfection of the
Virginia Defense Council, which he
planned with great foresight and
developed with a major portion of
his energy during the past two years.
The State claims the honor of being
the first in the Nation to organize its
Defense Council.
The Price administrator has been
noteworthy, too, because of the de-
velopment of a $4,000, 900 State sur
plus, expansion Of State aid to public
schools, the most extensive building
program In Virginias history.

Supports legislation
Controlling Imitation.


would like herein to express an
opinion, that of one of many Americans
whom I sure agree, concerning the
legislation currently before both houses
of Congress which would set maximum
limit for wages, prices and other factors
of American business and thereby pro-
tect the Nation from looming and dis
astrous imitation brought about by the
war.
AS has been said many times, we must
win this war finally and completely and
can only do so by every one cooperating
to the fullest degree. Every one means
lust that-and does not exclude any in
dividual or group Of individuals. We
must act and act now with determina-
ton to spike" the inflationary trend,
and the measure now pending Will DO
that for us by setting a level-fair to
all-above which no prices shall rise.
The so-called farm bloc" of the Con-
gress-ir the Senate particularly-would
exempt their special group from the
blanket ruling vesting control OF farm
prices in the hands of the Secretary OF
Agriculture Are the farmers and their
Senators not satisfied that they have
gained parity prices for their crops
guaranteeing them above average re-
turns-or would they make shamble,
even a Joke, of sincere efforts OF the
President to save us the ruination OF
wartime prosperity only lnf1a-
ton under a pretty name? Further, II
such a condition came to be, how do
they propose to show Americans how
such a ridiculous statute could be en-
forced? Why couldn't any one-if found
guilty Of violation of the law-reply that
he was lust as good as the farmer
and felt justified in taking little extra
profit?
There is no way as see it, that such
exemptions and special privileges are
justifiable, or fair, when every one Will
be asked to forego SO many Of our accus-
toned pleasures, that we may win COM
plete victory over those who would de-
stroy us and our free way of life.
Americans are willing to make these
self -denials, but will not be hood
winked by a group of public men and
their constituents seeking to profit by
slipping a "joker" in measure designed
sincerely for the economic protection Of
their welfare.

The Housing Emergency

A failure by Congress to act, and
to act promptly, in providing ade-
quate housing accommodations for
the tens Of thousands of new Govern
ment workers to be brought here in
the next twelve months is an invita-
tion to catastrophe.
Representative Lanham and Sena-
tor Ellender, who have been handling
the national housing measures, have
said that they favor separate legisla-
tion for the District of Columbia.
Unless there is separate legislation
within a short time, it will be too
late. No one can read Budget Di-
rector Smiths grave warning con-
corning the quarter million people
anticipated in 1912 without realizing
the implications as outlined against
the diSgraceful inadequacy of prepa-
rations to care for them.
Housing can be obtained by sew
eral methods. Private construction
Is the logical method, but private
construction is handicapped by prior
ity regulations, the lack of supplies
and the apparent lack of any inter-
est whatsoever by the responsible
authorities in granting either the
prioritieS or expediting the supplies.
Public housing is the alternative,
and public housing requires legisla-
ton and plentiful appropriations.
The District of Columbia has been
carefully eliminated from construc-
tive participation in either of the
Lanham bills approved by Congress;
the very people whose coming to
Washington is causing the housing
emergency are denied relief by the
legislation designed to prevent such
emergencies.
Defense Housing Co-ordinator
Charles F. Palmer seems to under
stand the gravity of the problem and
has been making efforts to obtain the
legislation which might deal with it.
Through no fault of his, however,
he is just about where he was months
ago. A start on construction of pub
lie housing for low-income workers
was promised in the Lanham bill
as 1t passed the Senate. But the
item was stricken out and unless
new, specific legislation for the Dis
srict is presented promptly and acted
on in Congress, it will be criminal
for the Federal Government to per-
nit additional workers to be brought
here.
One of the most intelligent and
promising housing plans ever pre-
sented in Washington is contained in
the proposal for rehabilitation and
reconstruction of large area in the
southwestern part of the city, now
under study. Compared with money
already appropriated for housing, the
cost of this undertaking estimated
at about $32 900 ,000-is nominal And
the provision of housing could &C
complish, at the same time, the
restoration of a blighted part of the
city which has been a disgrace for
many years.
Somebody must act, and act now.
The executive branch of the Govern
ment cannot rest its case on the pres
entation Of the situation by Budget
Director Smith. The executive
branch Of the Government, which is
bringing the people here to man the
war machine, must move now to end
this housing muddle in the National
Capital or face the consequences of
continued inaction.. Congress shows
no disposition to move unless spurred
by pressure from the President. That
pressure should be applied now.
