Traffic Signals Criticized
As TOO Low" to Be Seen.

To the Editor Of The STAR
Since the elimination of traffic lights
is under consideration, permit me to
direct attention to what is becoming a
serious factor for unsafe driving.
Practically all corner traffic lights are
too low. With the increased number of
buses, it is almost impossible to see the
lights for half block or more, when
driving an automobile behind or to the
left of the curb lane buses.

Argues for Drafting
OF Married Men.

To the Editor OF The Star:
With all this talk Of the farm fur
loughs in Congress, why not call the
married men with working wives first?
1t Is true that some Of these men cam
not stand the rigors OF combat duty,
but couldn't they be used to replace some
OF the younger men who are guarding
some vital war plant or on outpost
duty? OF course. this might mean the
easing Of the physical requirements to
some extent p. D. q.

table system OF payment for work done
The 40-hour week has been set up as a
standard. Time and a half for overtime
is recognized as fair and just. Why
should there not be a weekly wage based
on 40 hours OF work with time and a
half deducted for every hour less than
40? The deduction would be made only
when the employe is offered the work
and does not or cannot accept
The third and final step is to establish
new hours for stores and shops selling
merchandise and services. They should
be open every evening to take care of the
war workers even If 1t be necessary to
keep them closed most OF the day to do
so. The war worker must buy clothes,
groceries and other necessities. He must
have his shoes mended and his hair cut.
If he cannot accomplish these things
after work he must take time off.
These three remedies should be tried
before any rash, undemocratic schemes.
They will solve the problem as far as the
average worker is concerned. The prob

Amendment Suggested TO
Red Army Editorial.
To the Editor of The Star
Your editorial, Order Of the Day" OF
February "a, interested me 50 much that
I would like to add a few lines to it,
The achievement OF the Red Army in
this war shows that Hitler's Army can
be beaten and is being beaten AS the
big army of Napoleon Bonaparte found
death instead of victory In Russia in 1872,
so the "Nazi supermen" find death also
on the Russian front today. Even if the
Russians would not pursue the enemy
into Germany, the job that they have
done is colossal And I am sure the
Allied armies will finish the Nazis in
Germany. STANLEY KOLO,

The Navy is said to be seeking the
old polo field in Potomac Park as a
site whereon to erect temporary
quarters for "WAVES" Bearing in
mind the number of horses engaged
in the old games, it might paraphrase
famous legend and erect a sign
reading, "8 chevaux-50O femmes."

THE first radish from the garden or if
one is so fortunate as to have a
permanent garden the first rhubarb or
asparagus is real thrill. They come on
fast once they begin to enlarge, so one
should have few stalks Of rhubarb or
asparagus before they get large because
they are the ones that taste the best.
Lettuce harvest can begin by thinning
the small plants, twisting the plants off
al the surface Of the soil so the plants
adjacent will not be injured as they would
if plants were jerked up.

in the summer and should be prodded 10
do its best. This is accomplished by water
ing thoroughly if possible when needed
as well as continuous shallow cultivation
TO keep weeds down and the crust broken
up. Then succession planting increases
production Following is a list of plants
that can be followed by later grown vege-
tables
Early radish and lettuce followed by
early snap beans and this followed by
turnips, in this way having three crops
from the same area. during one season.
Where spinach is grown for canning,
rows Of peas can be planted three feet
apart with spinach between. Spinach rows
can then be planted to more tomatoes or
late canning beans.
Early peas can be followed with late
cabbage for storage
Early beets can be followed by carrots
for storage. II Is not necessary to wait
)until an entire row is vacant
When a head Of early cabbage is re-

moved, a few seeds of broccoli, more cab
bage, or lettuce can be planted. When the
broccoli or cabbage show up, only the best
plant in each place is saved.
If early potatoes are grown, as soon
AS these are harvested A few turnip seeds
can be broadcast for fall use and storage.
Phe last crop TO plant for succession is
a cover crop. This can be rye. raked in
between rows in the fall even before the
last vegetables are harvested. The rye
uses up the available plant food and when
plowed under IN the spring decays and
adds both humus and fertility To the soil
to be used again by the new garden.
When a new crop is soWn where a crop
has been removed, victory garden fertilizer
must be added TO insure rapid growth. To
add, trench is dug three inches deep and
fertilizer sown AT the rate of one pound
to 25 feet Of row. The trench can then
be filled and shalower trench made above
this for planting the seed
The smaller the area for the garden
the greater the necessity Of practicing
successional cropping.
