Appreciates Cooper's Hawks

appreciates COoper'S Hawks
To the Editor of The Star:
l have enjoyed many hours of pleas
ant bird study in the convenient Ar
llngton National Cemetery and I highly
recommend this bird haven to any
weary citizen who may have inclina
ton and opportunity for the pleasant
relaxation nature study affords.
Quite often see one or both of a pair
OF Coopers hawks that have taken up
residence here, as well as a pair of red
shouldered hawks that keep the mea dow
mice under control. The Cooper's sne-
c1es, however, make periodic onslauphts
on the resident songbirds and I have
Witnessed their attack more than once.
IL would be natural for me to con-
denim the Cooper's hawks and sanction
tne red-shoulders, but realize the for
mer are carrying out the plan of nature
Dy aldlng IN keeping her creatures in
check.
I would greatly miss these fierce birds
OF prey were they DESTROYED.

Says Turnus Was Nephew
To the Editor of The Star:
In The Star of February H. philin
Marshall Brown speaks of Turnus as
the son OF Latinus. Turnus hoped to be
the son-ln-law of Latinus, but his mar
riage to the princess Lavinia was
thWarted by the coming of Aeneas.
Iurnus' parents were Daunus and
Venilia. The latter was the sister of
Amata, wife of Latinus.

Letters to The Star
Defends the Japanese-American
Against Critics Aspersion

To the Editor OF The Star:
was SO glad to read your editorial
on Sergeant Kuroki."
In these dif1icult times we need to
be reminded of the rights Of the minori-
ties among us. And just now no other
minority is faring so hard as our Ameri-
cans Of Japanese ancestry.
The other day writer to The Star
asked why the Japanese Americans did
not do their part in the war effort and
questioned their loyalty. Please let me
state that the Japanese Americans are
buying bonds and doing what they can.
Those in camps with their income shut
of cannot do much
There are 10000 Japanese Americans
and 10000 now are soldiers and making
a fine record. Thirty-four have been
killed and 100 seriously wounded. My
figures are those of Dr. Frank H. Smith,
superintendent of the Methodist Pacific
Japanese Provisional Conference.

Keep Summer Tan
With Lamp Baths
By ALICIA HART
NEA staff lVrifer
NEA Staff Writer

If you grieve because your
summer tan turns to a Wintry
gray, you can dry your tears and
start looking for a lamp that
will sun your skin. A skin usu-
ally responds TO a sun lamp the
same way that it reacts to Old
Soils rays.
Ultraviolet ray treatments, if
you don't have a lamp of your
own which showers rays, are
available in many hotels, beauty
shops, gymnasiums and athletic
clubs where you can usually find
someone who is trained in han
ding them TO take care of your
needs. Many women regularly
take sun lamp treatments in or
der TO gain both health and cos
metic benefits.
With a lamp as with the sun,
tan usually depends upon re-
peated exposure. Just as you're
cautioned TO 60 easy when you
go under the sun, so are you
when you bare your skin to a
lamp. Beginning with a little and
gradually increasing your timing
is the way to play safe. Length
Of timing depends upon strength
OF lamp and distance Of your
body from it.
If you plan TO change your
summer curtains and drapes for
winter ones, make sure they are
cleaned before storing for the
winter atmospheric gases,
dust and fine grit which collect
in them will injure fabrics.

The Bankers Stake

And the government is wondering
about something else besides a few
meatless Mondays or Tuesdays or
Wednesdays. 1t is worried about the
banker who has a stake in steaks,
as well as the cattleman and beef
eater.
Cattle on the ranges have in
creased beyond the feed On the
ranges.
The average livestock population
Of America In the years 1922 to 1912
was So million head. Roughly let's
say hall of this was dairy cattle.
Now the estimate is 50 million head
and the ratio of eating cows to milk
ing cows has increased alarmingly
In the last few years,

hind. And this is where the banker
comes knocking at the door. He re-
members other gluts when the
drouth, for instance. sent all the cat
tie to market at once, running the
industry, making the bankers notes
just so much wallpaper.
But how, the simple citizen asks,
can there be a price drop when the
government has placed a floor I'M
der prices as well as a ceiling over
them? Well. see what happened to
our friend, the hog The farmer
brought his pigs to market, The gov.
eminent fixed the price which the
packers were bound to pay. But so
many pigs arrived that the packer
couldn't pack them and the law
didn't say he had TO buy what he
couldn't use. SO the farmer, rather
than pick up his pigs and carry
them home again, sold them of at
disgracefully low prices TO the smart
boys. Finally the smart boys got
the floor price, the butcher got his
ceiling price which the consumers
with full pocketbooks and empty
stomachs were glad to pay. All the
farmer got was mad.
This happened why? The govern
ment says simply because some
farmers, seeing as how there was
going 70 be such a good market for
hogs, exceeded their quctas-got too
