The Rule of Rules

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Golden Rule is greater than the
atomic bomb. And 1t is constructive
all to the good.
Napoleon, pondering on "the impor-
tance of force to organize anything" :"
said Of the Golden Rule:
Designed for all time, for all nation
alities, it orders mode of living that
Is amazingly simple and practical. It
bases personal action upon considera-
ton for Others"
And Edison called the Golden Rule: !:
This great principle"
Because 1t is such q principle, 1t will
bring peace and prosperity, as nothing
else can. r s w.

Essential Talent

In appealing to President Truman
for reinstatement of quota system
of draft deferments Tor science stu
dents. the heads of eight important
American colleges and universities
have made an altogether reasonable
request. The war has cut deeply
into the number of youths preparing
to enter medicine, dentistry, oste-
opathy, pharmacy. engineering and
similar professions, with the result
that serious shortages may be felt a
few years hence unless every effort
is made to build up school enroll
ments from their present subnormal
levels. AS the eight educators de-
clare, ut is now almost whole COL
lege generation since the flow of
young scientific and professional
personnel began to be impeded," and
every semester that this situation is
allowed to continue "the dislocations
become worse and the more damage
will be done to our enduring peace
time programs in the essential
fields" This is hardly to be ques-
toned. 1t is a condition involving
health and economic factors of great
Importance to the Nation. To battle
disease and to promote progress in
our industrial laboratories, we must
see to it that the talented are not
deprived of the schooling they need.
With peace here, it ought to be pos
sible to defer minimum number of
them-perhaps on the basis of COM
petitive examinations designed to
overcome difficulties in selection
from military service. The subject is
well worth the Presidents attention.

time, 1t can develop into q trust
worthy nation with a reasonable
standard Of living. Meanwhile,
though 1t must be dealt with in
stern justice, 1t may have to have
our own and Allied help in some
things, on purely humanitarian
grounds.

ination Of all the material available
would be tremendous task, but 1t
likewise would be fascinating one.
From attempting 1t much might be
learned about the cultural links by
which civilization old and new is
bound together.

Many persons suppose that it was
Franklin D. Roosevelt who invented
"the forgotten man." but the credit
actually belongs to William Graham
Sumner, who, as far back as 1888,
penned the words: WHO is the for
gotten man? He is the clean, quiet,
yirtuous, domestic citizen, who pays
his debts and his taxes and is never
heard of out of his little circle"

Runch Country Query

From the Daily oklahoman.
A publicity release from the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce says that
booklet will be sent to any one in
terested in one and two-acre Western
ranches.
What kind of book do they have to tell
OF a nice farm about three by eight feet?

Pied Piper Wanted Perhaps

To the Editor of The Star:
For the past year I have been notic-
ing that the abominable disease breed
ing common rat has taken over the
big white Government buildings Cat
least the outside Of them along Con-
stitution avenue. On the side Of the
Interstate Commerce Building, just
above Constitution avenue, the ground
is riddled with unsightly den holes of
this pest.
Recently I noticed large rat hole
alongside of the steps of the main
entrance on the Constitution avenue
side Of the Internal Revenue Building
The den holes about these buildings are
very unsightly and It would seem that
some prompt action should be taken to
destroy these rats.

| District Heads Order
Revision Of Plans for
New Receiving Home

The Commissioners yesterday or
dered revision of plans for the new
Receiving Home for Children, to be
built near Gallaudet College, to
effect reduction in cost of construc-
ton.
The plans now will call for dormi-
tory bed capacity of 96. On the
recommendation of Col. Joseph D.
Arthur. jr., assistant Engineer
Commissioner, space will be elimi-
mated for dentists, psychologists and
psychiatrists.
Col. Arthur said the dental work
could be done by the Health De-
partment dental clinics and that
the psychiatric work could be done
by the recently organized Mental
Hygiene Bureau Of the department.
Several playrooms also were or
dered cut from plans, leaving two
rooms which. with proposed out
door play yards, should be SUM-
cient," Col. Arthur said.
The Commissioners and the Pub
lie Welfare Board have been at odds
over the size and scope of the new
home. Commissioner Guy Mason
said Wednesday that the Commits
sioners would favor a $685., 900 con-
struction program, considerably less
than the $405,000 or more favored
by the board.
Yesterday Chairman Coffee of the
House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations said $285, 900 would
be provided for construction as
favored by the city heads.

Two-Legged
Panther

THE ranchers Of northeast

mystery-and trapped some
thing unique in panthers.
The hunt for the cattle

several ranch owners in the
neighborhood of Bixby re-
ported that, for the first
time in so years, a panther
was stalking their cattle.
The beasts screams had
been heard and its foot
prints had been picked up.
Farmers shut up their stock,
locked their windows and
Joined state rangers in a
hunt for the hungry cat.
Finally, about 10 miles
out of Bixby, the hunters
heard the piercing scream
of the prowler. They famed
out and closed In for the
expected kill.
When they rode up TO the
spot where tn @ panther
should be, they found the
prints Of big feline paws on

of boys on horseback.

picious and they admitted,
under sharp questioning,

One of the little known New
Hanover county institutions, and
for good reason, is the Jail situa-
ted atop the county court house
here. The public perhaps knows
less about conditions in the jail
than in any other of the public in
stitutions in the city.
Actually, it is one of the best
managed, most sanitary and effici-
ent of the various city and county
departments, rivaling the best in
large cities.
An inspection recently, showed
the jail, which has been recently
painted and has had air condition
ing equipment installed, as clean
as the proverbial pin and com
fortably cool.
Operating a trusty system under
which well-behaved prisoners are
allowed nominal freedom and dc
all the Jail cleaning, the institu'
ton is self-supporting.
For city prisoners 30 cent turn
kew fee is charged with the charge
for county and Federal prisoners
being so cents.
City prisoners are charged Z;
cents a day, room and board, anc
Federal prisoners, one dollar.
All dishes and utensils are
sterilized after use and vegetables
in season grown at the County
Farm are used. A cook is hired by
the county. A typical days menu
consists Of eggs, grits, cornbread
and coffee in the morning; vege.

On Christmas day, annually,

Years.
Lately, beef has been served
twice weekly, either in the form
of stew, or as a roast. Points are
