Are You An Interesting Parent?

"My father knows more than yours
does" brags the small boy who wants
to convince friend of his Importance
All young children, fortunately, think
their parents are just little bit
smarter and better than the parents
of other children. Blu as a child
grows, and gains bit of perspective,
he comes to realize by degrees his
father and mother aren't the all-wise
and remarkable beings he at first
supposed them to be.
How can we retain some prestige
with our children? Some parents try
to do it by domination, by rigid dis
cipline, by always knowing best
Others, realizing that they must
eventually totter on such dizzy
pinnacle, take means that are cal
culated to bring results, in the long
run. They try to be friendly, genial,
interesting folks, who are liked as well
as respected.
1t takes some doing to have ones
children say, "There's no place like
home" and mean it. Always a gulf
keeps the generations asunder, and
happy is the parent who can see across
the eXpanse that exists between. him
self and his child. What are We do
ing to keep ourselves the kind of
persons who will be hkable and in
teresting to our children?
Parents can't be interesting unless
they continue to live, fully and out
goingly. If our interestes narrow, and
our horizon shrinks our children can
hardly be blamed for calling us sold
fogies", and becoming impatient. Only
by reading, by means of engrossing
hobbies, by mingling with people who
stir and stimulate us to think and
talk intelligently, by taking part in
the affairs of our community, can we
expect to retain alertness.
Right now, the many ways in which
parents can be of help in the enter
prises that contribute to the war
effort are as useful to the individuals
as they are to their communities.

Old Rubber

The drive for old scrap rubber has
brought out many ancient relics,
some going back to the gay COS. No
age limit is set: even the eraser on
George Washington's pencil, If he had
pencil, would be acceptable. The
question arises-how old can rubber
be?
1t is answered by a recent find in
AriZona-an ancient Indian rubber
ball, estimated to be over 1000 years
old. 1t was used to play species
Of prehistoric basket ball. it is be-
lieved. No imported rubber is this,
either-it is genuine early American
rubber, made from the sap of the
guayule plant which grew wild in the
desert. 1t is good rubber, too. Even
after ten centuries it still bounces
with all the zip of thousand dollar
check drawn against an account con-
tanning three dollars and a quarter.
There were wars in those days, too,
but no lack of good rubber. In rec
ognition of this fact, the specimen
will not be used to recap any ones
tires; it is now in Los Angeles mu-
scum to commemorate the wisdom of
certain Americans in utilizing their
natural rubber resources.

not require American history for the
undergraduate degree, however,
have suggested a cultural neglect
which ought not to remain uncor-
rected. Something obviously should
be done by professional educators to
meet the criticism which has been
raised against curricula as they
stand. But the need Is not limited
to formal educational procedure.
AS Mr.. Armstrong indicates, adults
as we'll as boys and girls need train
ing In the narrative of their country.
Recognizing the demand, the press,
the radio, the movies and many
other media have been teaching his
tory with zeal and passion which
it would be grievous error to fail
to acknowledge. All such endeavor
logically must be taken into account
in the framing of the bar associa-
ton program. The lawyers already
generously are doing their share in
the task Of maintaining public mo-
rale. II legislation In behalf Of CON-
pulsory history be required, they
have no reason to doubt that it will
be provided.
Meanwhile, the conference which
Mr.. Armstrong proposes may be re-
lied upon to give direction to the
impulse which his organization in
common with other bodies feels in
the present period of crisis.

ARLINGTON, Va.

"Dear Sir:
II have not been as attentive to your
column as I would like, and therefore
do not know whether this subject has
been discussed by you.
For about ten days I have noticed a
lack of appetite on the part of my six
Dominecker hens though their craws
were we'll filled.
Watching them had reason to be-
lieve they were eating Japanese beetles
and to be sure took two of my hens
under my arms and pointed them ito
some japanese beetles resting on some
of my shrubs.
Instantly, the Domineckers gulped
down the beetles.
Moral: If America cannot beat the
Japs, call out the Domineckers.
II believe notice diminution In the
beetle population on my lot.
yours very truly, @. G, M
Chickens will eat almost anything IN
the bug" line except tomato worms.
There can be no doubt that they do
great service in consuming japanese
beetles, which have been unusually severe
in various parts of nearby Virginia and
Maryland this year.
Maybe the beetles regard themselves
as japanese nationals, and are doing
their bit for the Mikado.
They are tough, seasoned invaders. 100,
as many homeoWners know to their
sorrow.
Catching them in traps would be all
right If everybody had traps, but 1t
always seems as if only one side OF
street has them at time.
What good does it do to catch them
in your own yard, If the fellow down
the street permits them to thrive luxur-
iantly on his shrubs and lawn?
They will eat almost anything, and do
great damage.
Spraying with poison is advocated, but
it has it's drawbacks. The use Of poison
sprays always has it's distinct dsadvan-
tages. Perhaps the average householder
does not have enough knowledge to
handle them properly.
He may feel that spraying bushes and
lawns offers decided chance for poison
ing of birds, not so much through con-
stunning poison on their own part as
through taking in insects and worms
which have been poisoned.

Free French Relations

The appointment Of United States
Army and Navy representatives to
consult with the French National
Committee in London on common
war problems should increase effec-
tiveneSS of American military assist
ance to the Free French and end
dissension over the degree of recog-
milton given General Charles De
Gaulle as leader Of the French forces
resisting the Axis,
Apparently General De Gaulle, who
has had ambitions for full diplomatic
recognition as the head Of sovereign
government, is satisfied with the
military recognition accorded him
and is willing to forgo attempts to
win a political status for his National
Committee. He puts himself on rec
ord as most gratified" by the terms
of a State Department memorandum
outlining this Governments policy,
which couples full support Of the Free
French movement as symbol of
French resistance in general against
the Axis" with the stipulation that
the future destiny and political
organization" of France must await
free determination by the French
people. 1t is clear that the State De-
partment Is not willing to underwrite
General De Gaulle as the future po-
litical leader Of France by dealing
with him now as head of sovereign
government.
The United States, the memoran-
dunn emphasized, is "subordinating
all other questions to the one supreme
purpose of achieving military success
In the war" and it is on the basis OF
this common objective that relations
with the Free French will be con-
Quoted. To coordinate their COM
mon efforts" Admiral Harold Il.

take.
The adult is a handsome beetle, with a

He may be told by the white spots on
the abdomen.
ouarantines against him seem to have
done little good.
The use of insect parasites, too, has
been pretty much OF failure.
Several years ago millions OF the
beetles were caught in New Jersey by a
great storm and blown to sea The
surf washed up literally millions Of
them, in return.
At that time the beaches were covered
many inches thick with dead Japanese
beetles.
1t was hoped at that time that such a
wholesale slaughter would help end the
depredations of the pest, but the next
year they came back stronger than ever.
Americas widespread fields and gar
dens have provided the very breeding
ground necessary to this prolific creature.
In view of the secret preparations
which Japan made for war against the
United States, extended over many years
Of peace, one may wonder If the in
vasion" OF the japanese beetles was not
planned In advance, too.
There can be no question but that these
insects have done millions Of dollars
worth of damage to American crops and
gardens, to say nothing of great damage
to ornamentals and lawns.
These insect saboteurs do their work in
secret and the night until they come up
as full -f1edged warriors.
Then they tend to overrun all before
persistence will not do.
Constant vigilance against them is the
only solution.
The average owner Of small garden
perhaps will do best against them by
hand-picking them at every opportunity.
Traps are a snare and delusion, and
the use of poisons has its dangers.
Picking them by hand is feasible.
Children love to do it, Once caught. the
beetles may be dropped in kerosene, or
crushed beneath the foot
Attention to this duty at all times, not
just now and then, will do much to get
rid of them at least it will cut down their
numbers to the point where the resulting
damage is not too great.
The garden must expect some damage
from insects. 1t seems to be A part of
nature. The desirable thing is to cut
destruction from all kinds of insects to
the point where the total crop does not
suffer too severely.
There can be no question that hens
and song birds will and do eat thousands
of japanese beetles every year In this
as in many other ways they are great

The Bar and History

Walter P. Armstrong of Memphis,
president of the American Bar
Association, has announced that the
organization of which he is the
chosen leader will seek legislation in
every State to compel schools to
include American history in their
curricula" and that it also will "spon-
sor a conference to formulate
a co-ordinated plan Of teaching it
to those who have passed school age"
The bar associations purpose, as
explained by Mr.. Armstrong, is to
attempt to bring home to the Amer
lean people thorough understand
ing and appreciation of our history
and of our institutions" It is "the
reasoned belief of the lawyers of
the land, their chairman says, that
an accurate knowledge and realistic
consideration of our own history is
the best argument that can be made
that with all our faults and short
comings we have yet done more than
any other people TO make safe liberty
under law"
Mr.. Armstrong, of course, does not
imagine that Americans generally
are unaware of the essential values
of their national experience. He
understands that probably no other
community in the world is so well
informed, so profoundly conscious
Of the privileges of freedom and the
responsibilities arising therefrom

has had the effect of educating the

Hitler also is sorely in need of Amer

aganda of delaying the opening of a

Again Hitler needs the help of men

Restraint of Music

James G. Petrillo, president of the
American Federation of Musicians,
could not have chosen a better way
to arouse public support for legisla-
ton to curb the powers Of unions
than by issuing his remarkable edict
against the recording of any more
union music after July 81. Mr.. Pc
trillo, sometimes aptly described as
the czar of union music, gave full
play to his dictatorial prerogatives
when he notified record manufacture
ers that the 100000 members of his
American Federation of Labor or
ganEation will discontinue making
records, electrical transcriptions or
Any other form of electrical repro
daction OF music
The announced purpose Of this
extraordinary ban is to provide
work for Give musicians" Mr.. Pc
trillo hopes that by stopping the re-
eording OF music he will force tavern
keepers, radio stations and other
users Of canned" music to hire
bands and orchestras affiliated with
his union. The fact that his sweep
ing order also will end the manufac-
sure of records intended for playing
In the home does not bother Mr.. Pc
trillo too much. He says he might re-
lent somewhat regarding records for
the home, providing the manufac-
turers give an "ironclad guarantee"
that such records will not find their
way to radio stations and luke box
emporiums. 1t is manifestly impoS-
Hhle, however, for record manufac-
turers to make any such guarantee,
as the manufacturers say that courts
have ruled that restrictions on use of
records cannot be legally enforced
Mr.. Petrillo is quoted as saying that
enforcing the guarantee is the manu-
facturers' problem. not his
If Mr.. Petrillo goes ahead with his
ban, the music lovers of America will
have practical demonstration of the
nonopolistic control of the Nations
music which a strongly entrenched
union such as Mr.. Petrillo's can eX-
ercise under existing law The Su-
prene Court has held that Congress
did not intend to apply antitrust
laws to labor unions Mr.. Petrillo is
not one to overlook the opportunity
thus presented to advance what he
considers the interests of his union.
He seems to have ignored completely,
however, the interests of the general
public, although it is the support of
the public which makes possible the
existence of the bands and orchestras
whose members compose the mu-
sicians' union.
Mr.. Petrillo may find that the pub
lie reaction to the dictatorial "ra-
tioning" of music will be such as to
force a reconsideration of his plan.
Certainly there is reason to believe
that the Petrillo proclamation was
music to the ears of those who have
been striving to increase interest in
bills to bring labor unions within the
purview of antitrust statutes and
other restrictive laws.
