Dear Sir:
Now that autumn is here, hope you
will give us some lines on the annual
spider invasion. Many people fear
spiders, but there is no reason for it,
except in the case of the black widow
spider, so-called. It, will admit, is not
one like to see indoors, but the HARM
less sort find most interesting.
please warn your readers to let these
creatures alone, and not to get broom
after them, since they eat flies and other
inimical insects. A few around house
are rather worth while, but my wife
goes after them as if they were men,
bers of the Axis.
Spiders are not insects, of course;
they are, indeed, foes of insects. That
is one good reason for having a few of
them around, as house guests. They are
not enemies, with the exception of
few sorts, about which most of us will
never have to worry.
II like to watch the small spiders
grow up in the house. Usually they Sc
lect some one spot a spider habit, and
there build up a small web, or just re-
main without any web at ALL They
will appear at certain times OF day, and
become very tame.
Il had one, once, which would run out,
the moment I tapped on the table, and
spend few minutes running up and
down my index finger. He was a pale
gray, almost white, and so small that
it was all you could do to see his legs.
He seemed to get real kick out of
speeding up and down my finger. If I
moved my hand, he would scamper away
1t would have been easy to crush him,
but could see no real reason for doing
1t, since he was doing no harm.
Il have large volume called The
Spider Book, in which it states, among
many other things, that there is no
particular harm IN most of the spiders
which come indoors. I like best the
pale-colored ones. I believe that the
black ones are open to suspicion. With
little practice any one can learn to
detect the harmful ones, that is, those
which might give a real bite There
is no reason to get bitten by any spider,

give such a large creature as a human

please tell your readers, some time,
that the small spiders which come in
doors at the first touch of colder tenn

cause fear out to get warm, so that they
can last over the winter. They will do
no harm, and may even do some good

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trace1uell.

II the members of the household do
not find spiders interesting, there is
nothing to be done about the matter.
Properly viewed, however, that is with
genuine interest, these incoming spiders
have many good points.
They become real pets, without the
necessity of finding food for them.
They rustic up their own food
Feeding pet animals is not going to
ready the dogs are being treated to
taste of what rationing means. The
tin cans of dog food" once so plentiful
in pet stores and groceries, are no
longer to be seen.
Horse meat is coming out into the open
at last. Whereas in the past the canned
dog foods made no specific mention of
this meat, now it is spelled out, in so
many letters, on the labels of the glass
jars holding the up-to-the- minute foods
for Fido and Bozo.
Then there is bag or box of dry foods,
which are supposed to be mixed with
milk, gravy or water. Dogs will eat
these, with relish, but cats are more
finicky.
Rationed foods will hit cats where it
hurts, because these creatures are rather
difficult to please, and will not eat what
they do not like, except they are starved
to it.
Yet If England, in the midst of real
food shortages, can find food for all its
dogs and cats, certainly America ought
to be able to do so.
The indoor spiders manage to get
along very well, not only because they
can find the few insects they need, but
largely because they need very little
food in winter, provided they can get
to some place where it is warm
Most of these which come inside are
very small, so tiny, in fact, that they
scarcely can cause fear in any breast
The best ones we have ever had were
milkpale, or creamy in color. They
could not have been more than one
sixteenth of an inch in diameter. Their
movements were brisk, but in no way
frightening.
Most spiders have only limited range.
One of them spent his entire life on the
lid of the phonograph, riding up and
down with it when it was raised and
lowered At first he seemed somewhat
alarmed, but shortly got over his fright
and actually seemed to enjoy riding on
his personal elevator.
Most city workers have speculated,
from time to time, on how fine it
would be to have personal elevator,
lift" which would be kept waiting
for them at the first floor, and which
would arise into the upper realms at
once, carrying no other passengers.
Well, this small spider had one, and
also music with his meals.
He was one of the most intriguing
OF all possible arachnids, and we are
willing to swear that he really enjoyed
his life indoors He would come out
OF his hide-away at the tap OF finger
and would scamper around for second
as if in great fear. Then, when nothing
happend, he would proceed to come
over to investigate the tapping finger
This was always the high spot in his

Offers Correction of Definitions
Of Diplomatic Agents.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Allow me to call to your attention
some inaccuracies in Frank Colby's
usually accurate column Take MY Word
for IT. appearing in The Star for Sep
tember 20 under the title Diplomatic
Agents."
There are four recognized classes OF
diplomatic agents: Cd Ambassadors ex-
traordinary and plenipotentiary Casually
called ambassadors, ca ENJOYS extraor-
dinary and ministers plenipotentiary
CASUALLY called ministers), 90 ministers
resident and (D charge d'affaires. Diplo-
matte agents of Glass do not merely
"often," as Mr.. Colby asserts, rank be-
low an ambassador, but always do so;
they are not only not "often" called
minister resident, but are never so called.
Ministers resident fall into a separate
class. There is no separate class OF EN-
voy'; this is term popularity applied to
diplomatic agents of Glasses and 2, al
though properly applied only to Glass 2.
There is no recognized class of "emis-
sary," although this term is popularity
applied to any diplomatic agent, not
necessarily secret agent. A consul" is
not properly classed among diplomatic
agents. although Mr.. Colbys definition
is correct. The term "attache" is popu-
larly applied to diplomatic agents below
the rank of chief of mission, but prop
erly is applied to one attached to an en-
bassy or legation to look after a special
category of affairs, such as commercial,
military or naval attaches. Mr. Colby ac-
curately labels the oficial headquarters
OF an ambassador as an embassy, but he
could have added that the official head

Logging Washington

When the President says he is
convinced that the Nation as
whole is far ahead of the Capital in
morale and the war effort. whom
does he include among the laggards?
Not the people of Washington, or the
Washington community. These are
giving fine account of themselves
in what they are doing for the war
effort.
The President gives a partial an
swer in his specific criticism of an
unspecifled section of the press,
which he says is misrepresenting
conditions, unnamed radio and news
paper commentators who get too
much half-baked information, some
talkative but uninformed members
of Congress, some subordinates in
the Government whose statements
confuse the public, and some officials
whose recent speeches evidently
struck the President as Sour-and
Congress itself. Congress, the Presi-
dent thinks, takes too long to do the
sort Of things in the midst of war
that it did quickly enough in the
early days of the depression.
Other observers, looking toward
Washington from the grass roots,
have been struck by the same thing
that impressed the President on his
trip. They have said that the people
are far ahead of Washington in the
way they want to fight this war and
the things they are willing to do to
win the war. But in speaking of
Washington, they were including all
of the many elements which 20 to
make up the responsible Govern
ment. They were not confining their
criticism to few things singled out
from the vantage point OF the Presi-
dents study.
Views OF Washington, therefore,
differ in detail but seem to corre-
spond in the general impression that
is registered. If Washington is lag
ging behind the people, it may be
because OF too much timidity in get
ting ahead of them. This caution
has been manifested in various WAYS.
The rubber situation and national
gasoline rationing is one example.
The draft of eighteen and nineteen
year old men, still reposing in the
Bureau of the Budget after weeks of
study to determine whether it is in
accord with the Presidents financial
program, is perhaps another. The
contests for favored treatment by
organized but influential minorities
and the respectful consideration
they command-are others.
But II this caution of getting
ahead OF the people is misplaced, if
the people really are ahead of Wash
lngton in the war effort, then the
President and all of the leaders in
Washington have made gratifying
and useful discovery. 1t removes an
obstacle which has been delaying
our getting on with the war. 1t is an
incentive for decisive, bold steps
which concern themselves with no
CONSIDERATIONS save the winning of
the war in the least possible time.
The President could have made no
more valuable discovery than that
the people are ahead of the Capital.

Misqovernors

In 1901 the late Edward Sylvester
Ellis wrote and the Henry Altemus
Company of Philadelphia published
a Young Peoples History of Ger
many" which during the next few
years enjoyed a wide circulation
among adult as we'll as youthful
readers in the United States The
author was scholar of certain dis
tinction, and his theme-the new
Teutonic empire-at the moment was
possessed of considerable attraction
Especially interesting to the general
1ty OF Americans was the colorful,
frank, fortnight and seemingly
courageous head of the rising con-
tinental power.
In recognition of the human values
involved, Mr.. Ellis reserved the final
pages of his book as place of honor
for the Kaiser. Concerning him, he
quoted "one of the most distinguished
professors of Berlin, and man
whose knowledge of his country and
its leading statesmen and generals is
not surpassed by any of his country
men," The appraisal runs: "As for
William II-God bless him! If there
ever was such thing as the right
man in the right place, his is an
example. He is steam engine for
work; I don't believe there is a
person in all Germany that equals
him in this respect; his energy is
marvellous and he never spares him
self. 1t may be said that all questions
interest him, and he makes himself
master of each. There is nothing
too trifling for his attention if it
concerns his country in any way, and
his example more than any argu-
ment tends to convert one to belief
in the divine right of kings. In him
is exemplified the genius of common
sense; he is not incrusted with preju-
dice, and boldly meets every condi-
tion and question that presents itself,
his sole aim being to solve it in the
way best for those concerned and for
his country. Gifted by nature with
the mind and brain of a master, he
does his own thinking, and does it
better than any one can do it for
him. So long as he is at the helm
of government, SO long is Germany
safe, and God grant that when, in
the fullness of time, he is called to
his reward, we may be given one as
worthy as he to rule"
From the vantage point of four
decades later it is easy to condemn
such ridiculous panegyric unre-
servedly. The German Emperor did
not merit the compliments paid to
him by his academic admirer. He
was not success. Instead, he was Q

Fire Prevention Week

Fire is one of mans most useful
friends, but it also, under certain
conditions, may be his most costly
enemy. Especially in time of war,
fires in the home, on the farm, in
the factory, represent not only the
loss of lives and essential military
supplies; they deal a body blow to
our peoples morale"
Such is the doctrine of the National
Fire Protection Association, sponsor
ing the annual observance of Fire
Prevention Week, beginning tomor-
row. A statement issued in advance
of the occasion explains: Protection
against fire assumes an important
role in civilian defense. Not only
must we take steps to protect our
selves from sabotage and possible
incendiary bombings, but also we
must make every effort to prevent
fires OF all kinds" Every citizen is
asked to: Inspect, detect, correct all
fire hazards. Beware of worn electric
wiring, rubbish piles, oily rags, unsafe
chimneys, flammable cleaning fluids,
open flame on the stove or in the
fireplace, careless disposal of hot
ashes, and above all, of lighted
matches, cigarettes and cigars. En-
courage fire consciousness wherever
you may be. Learn how to prevent
dre-learn how to control It'll"
There can be no question about the
tendency of wartime activity to in
crease the danger of vast and ex-
pensive confagrations. 1t follows
that there must be intelligent and
efficient resistance to the peril. The
