This and That
By Charles E. Trnce,reu


ANNAPOLIS, Nd.
Gould you give me simple way to
pullo co d o!ro 1eeder? About how far
from the house should 7 put it?
would Also like to know what to
1eeo them. and when to feed them. be-
cause Will be going to school in the
winter
Thank you.
Sincerely yours, LUCRETTA T."
Lucretla, the simplest way to build q
feeding station is to take an old table
ana put 1t out in the yard, Just about
where you can see it comfortably from
window.
porch railing will do, or a window
Sill, and these permit you to watch the
birds easily.
Probably the easiest way to feed
them is simply to throw the food on
the ground, at the same spot every day.
II an old table is used, a railing
about 2 inches high should be nailed
all around 1t, to keep too much food
from being pushed off.
Chicken feed, such as scratch feed"
and baby chick feed" are liked yerv
much. At many hardware stores and
at pet shops you can buy what Is called
"wildbird food"
The best way Is to put out the food
IN the evening, just before dark. so
that the redbirds can have a bit to
eat before they go to bed
Then next morning, at first light all
the birds which stay with us in the
winter, including the redbirds, blue Jaws
and song sparrows, will find their break
fast waiting for them.
Be sure to put out a shallow pan of
water for them in the afternoon when
you come home from school.

Dear Sir:
"Wlll you please write again about
crickets? We children have captured
one of these CHEEKY little critters and
we'd appreciate it very much If YOU
would tell us how to house and feed
him, so as to have a cricket on the
hearth
'We would also like to know how to
keep a pet grasshopper happy.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
AONANAI oIla Ie1SIlATLD ".

Crickets are jumping insects applied
to the long-horned grasshoppers.
The two common kinds are the house
cricket, which is gray-yellow, marked
with brown, and the field cricket. which
is larger and darker.
The house cricket, of course, is the
one for the hearth.
A cardboard box may be used as a
cage. Carefully cut out long narrow
strips on one side to form bars, but be
careful to make the Sits very narrow.
Keep a piece of wire over the cage
until the creature feels at home He is
fed with crumbs and other scraps of
vegetable and animal food
After he becomes acclimated, he may
be let out Of his cage at night, since
he is nocturnal animal, and likes to
hunt up his own food
Bits of food may be placed at various
points around the fireplace. The cage
is best kept on the hearth so that the
cricket may get used to it, and feel at
home there.
After he finds he is not molested, he
probably will accept the hearth as the
best place in the house.
All this, OF course, only if the fire.
| place Is not to be used. If it is used
/ much, it may be better to keen the
cricket in ones bedroom, where it car
be watched An unused fireplace, how
ever, with wood in it, is the best and
most natural place for cricket.

On August %, there appeared letter

gestion urging blood for civilian use as
peacetime service.
Either the newspapers have failed to

German people are going to suffer.
That is the price they must pay for
having followed their leaders in a
war of aggression devastating to all
OF Europe. The medicine they once
gave to their neighbors, they must
now take themselves, and it would be
dangerously sentimental to deplore
that fact. This said, however, it
must be added that the stability and
peace of the world will not be served
If conditions in Germany remain in
a churned-up state indefinitely.
AS set forth at the Potsdam Con-
ference by Britain, Russia and the
United States, the economic prin-
ciples to govern Gerhhany's future
may be summarized as follows: Cd
The country's war potential is to be
permanently eliminated by indus
trial disarmament and demilitariza-
ton; (2) this is to be achieved, apart
from appropriate political measures,
by the removal, destruction or rigid
control of heavy industries, such as
aviation and steel; 90 German liv-
ing standards are not to be per-
mitted to exceed the average pre-
vailing elsewhere in Europe, and "a
Allied policy will nevertheless permit
the development of a national econ
omy offering an opportunity to the
people to work their way back to a
reasonably prosperous existence as
free, peace-loving citizens of the
world.
The latter point is implemented by
the Potsdam promise that machin-
cry essential to Germany's peace
time economy will not be removed
as reparations; that the country will
be permitted to export; that means
will be provided to help it pay for
imports, and that primary emphasis
will be given not only to the devel-
opment of its agriculture but to the
development of its peaceful domes-
tic industries as well. In other
words, though very drastic, the Pots
dam economic principles-as far as
the words go, anyhow-do not mean
that the Germans are to be reduced
to nation of small farmers.
1t is somewhat confusing, there
fore, to be told now that there are
experts connected with the Allied
Control Council who believe that
this is what is being done and that
the PotSdam policy, even though
necessary at this time, is "a long
range economic absurdity." This
may be gross exaggeration, and it
is fatty contradicted by Edwin
Pauley, American member of the
Allied Reparations Commission. but
II there is any truth in it, it ought to
be carefully considered in terms of
the long future. Germany must be
prevented from ever again making
war, and 1t must lose much of its
productive capacity, but it cannot
readily be converted into a farm land
without inviting the risk Of injuring
the economy of Europe and thus
clouding the prospect of a stable
peace in the world.

Still Touehy
From the New York Herald rribun..

The citizens of world newly liberated
from war must expect to hear harsh
words spoken in haste, and strange
charges burst out of the silence of long
repression. They must expect vhem, and
must learn to guard against them, to
retain the consciousness Of responsibility
of war years while sampling the free
dom of peace. For though the lid is
off and the old taboos no longer hold,
the acrid smell of powder is still in the
air; the distorted shapes of destruction
still deface the earth; the final toll of
the dead is still untallied-and the fear
some shadow Of the atomic bomb is
over all.

Letters to The Star
Three Foes of Daylight Saving
State Their Objections

ototS 1HCu oDJSCtlOHS
To the Editor of The Star:
The opponents Of daylight saving have
shown such an utter lack of under
standing Of the meaning of time that I
feel moved to ask your indulgence of a
few words in favor of standard time.
Man did not make the day and the
night-high noon and midnight. He
who made the sun and the earth and
set them in their places and orders
their movements also gives us the time
of day. To man he gave the marvellous
intelligence to measure the earth and
to make many instruments and devices
to measure and weigh and record dis
tances and weights, forces and move
ments. Man measured the earth into
time zones of Is degrees each, one zone
for each Of the "a hours into which he
has measured the day and night. He
established the international date line
When the sun crosses the meridian
at Greenwich it Is noon in England and
midnight and the beginning of new
day halfway around the world on the
180th meridian. Man made clocks with
springs and wheels and hands to record
the passing of the hours and indicate to
him the relative position of the sun day
and night, but it still remains record
ing instrument, and setting it fast or
slow cannot lengthen the day by one
minute. On the contrary, such tamper-
ing with clocks as with any other in
struments of weight or measure is
betrayal of intelligence and detrimental
to character. There are no advantages
in daylight saving that could not better
be obtained honestly. Surely the long
summer days give plenty of opportunity
for outdoor sport for Office workers both
before and after Office hours, without
resort to such subterfuges as setting the
clock ahead.
ANOTHER OFFICE WORKER.
To the Editor OF The Star:
- One would think that we have had
enough chaos and confusion iu the past
few years without clock dickering.
In my opinion the farmer is a pretty
important fellow and deserves a heap
Va SoiloiuCI dtloIlJ puI MISS rulley LQlnkS
he still can proceed on sun time. She
likewise forgot to remember the hard
ship and trouble daylight saving causes
travelling men who miss trains and i'm
portant engagements while she wants
to play tennis and gallop.
Let's be liberal but practical, cut out
that nonsense of fooling ourselves and
get back to right time
MARY KAUFMAN.
To the Editor of The Star:
May disagree with Miss Finley's let
ter published in The Star August 90?
I also am an Office worker but that
extra hour of daylight is not boon"
TO me. Under the present daylight saw
ing it does not cool off during a hot
spell until about l in the morning,
which means I do not get sufficient
sleep. I am totally uninterested in
golf or tennis or a gallop through the
park" and know plenty of others who
also are uninterested. If the sun goes
down an hour earlier by the clock it
becomes cool and quiet an hour earlier
and will get an hour more sleep 1t
is not the farmers only who are op-
posed to daylight saving.

One Of the horrors of war which
still fingers is that of the apple
outter they serve instead of real
butter.
Evening star., 1945-09-03

Many thingS-the most important
are left open in the Potsdam commu-
nique, such as the GermanPolish FROM
tiers, and the manner of exchanging
populations. In fact. the Polish pro-
visional government" and the Red
armies are taking over the area east of
the Oder and Neisse. and getting rid of
the German population. Mr.. Truman
spoke of being informed" that there
were still" some million and half
Germans in this area. Mr.. Churchill
expressed concern about the others.
The German population of these ter
ritories was, in 1925, around 12,000,000;
the highest Allied estimate of the num-
bers who have fled into the British and
American zones is 100000. This is
probably exaggerated. But even this
leaves perhaps 6,50000O unaccounted
for. If this area is depopulated and
resettled before the peace conference,
how will the conference be able to
change matters?
If one is critical of such things. it Is
attributed to German sympathies. I
have never seen a German state I ad-
mired, and I advocated Immediately
after the last war the dissolution of the
ISCiSIl III q Eu1OpCdll SOilICuCi dllOl1 Vtl
the Swiss model.
But the issueG whether wholesale de-
portations of men, women and children
to unknown destinations is or is not
determination" and slavery" in which
we have given our word of honor not
to engage. The questions are whether
we want to concur in the principle that
helpless peoples should be without any
projections imposed by the moral in
hibitions of their conquerors; what the
eventual effect Of such inhuman policies
will have on our own minds and on the
prestige of democracy anywhere on
earth; whether two wrongs make a
right, or whether only might makes
right.
1t was opposition to the latter con-
cept which furnished the moral sup
port for our war, and do not see how
the Allies can re-educate Germans
against what they practice themselves.
The manner of collecting reparations
in kind also demands consideration
both of its justice and its results. The
Soviets may take from Germany any
machinery in their zone which they
adjudge unnecessary for peacetime pro-
duction. In addition, the western AL
