More Protection Asked
Against Sex Offenders
To the Editor of The Star:

Again we are informed by the press that
an atrocious sex crime has been perpetrated
on an innocent little boy. age eight. What
shocking and revolving thing this is
However. until adequate laws are passed,
the police must go through the farce of
picking up all known offenders, and gener-
ally the one responsible is a man with a
record of previous violations, or at least
is we'll known among his acquaintance as
a sex pervert. How long are we going to
stand for these perverts prowling the city
searching for victims. and finally selecting
little children?

Danger to National Defense Found
In Tendency to Copy British
To the Editor OF The Star:


In Tendency to Copy British
To the Editor OF The STAR
May comment upon an item in The Star
of October 8 headed British Recall Own
Service Row in 1919 After R. A. F. Was
Born" In an Associated Press dispatch
from London October it is said that rep
resentative leaders of the British services
claimed they could remember no modern
dispute among them equal to the Air Force
Navy battle now raging in the United States
One claimed that they had trouble in 1919
but said, that we have learned to get along
together and probably they (meaning the
Americans) will, too, in time"
1t may not be a safe plan for the United
States to follow British procedure at all
times. Whatever they did about their
armed services in 1919 must have been han
died all wrong, for they were caught totally
unprepared for World War II as they had
been unprepared for World War I.
Why not admire and respect the British
without emulating them and copying their
blunders? I am not one OF those who
shouts about our having rushed to the aid
of Britain in the last two wars. On the
other hand believe that we have habit
Of thinking of Britain as bulwark between
us and any possible danger to us from the
continent This feeling gives us false
sense of security and we were content to rest
on our oars. She has proved in two wars
that she is not able to be bulwark. That
is, she has proved it to every one but herself.
This leaves us on our own. We should do
our own thinking and our own planning.
What is good for British armed service ar
rangements may be very bad for our Ameri-
can forces Our problems are different.
One mans meat may be another mans
poison. LAURA K. POLLOCK.

Proper Insulation
Helps PoultrYmen
Benefits From Practice
Extend to All Animals

Farmers pay for 100000 tons Of
chicken feed annually that they
could save by properly insulating
poultry houses.
That figure is reached by pro-
jecting results Of tests conducted
at Iowa state college, in which
docks living in insulated dwellings
required IS per cent less feed. The
protected flocks laid more eggs,
and fatalities were fewer.
Benefits from insulation extend

forward, his breath a sobbing gasp
in his throat, his face white and
drawn from the strain of running.
1t seemed that he had run a thous-
and miles, though he knew it was
not more than eight. Eight at the
most. That meant there were still
three to 60 before he reached the
river. Then he'd have to swim
across and make another mile up
the slope to his cabin. By then it
might be too late. By then the fire
might have swept down on the
little log structure and destroyed
it, and what it contained. Anne and
little Bobby. He closed his eyes to
shut out the picture.
After while he stood up and
went on. The glow against the
sky was brighter, bright red
and orange and yellow. Against
it he could see bilIowing smoke
clouds and occasional showers
Of sparks. That meant the
flames had reached the ridge
behind the cabin. In another
moment they would be sweep
Ing down the slope toward his
clearing.
His spirits sank. He choked as
the smoke grew thicker and the
air suffocating. Above him he
heard the wall of a rising wind,
and above the wind there was the
increasing roar of the fire. Anne
wouldn't understand until it was
too late. She was helpless about
such things.
1t couldn't be much more than a
mile, he told himself. He called on
his last ounce of energy and fought
ahead.
Suddenly wild hope beat in his
heart. He looked up and there at
his very feet was water. The river!
He had come faster than he
thought. But abruptly the hope
died. Looking across he stared into
solid sheet of flame and smoke
belching sparks. The entire slope
of the hill, which was between the
river and his cabin, was afire.
Grooming, he sank to his
knees. Before him the river
Kissed and steamed as flying
fragments fell into 1t. Its black

Perhaps it's most important bene-
fit is that it keeps the farm build

ventilating equipment to work more
efficiently. Here's how it functions
in hen house:
When outside temperature drops
to zero, the heat given off by the
birds might keep the interior at
about Is degrees. Unfortunately,
the chickens also contribute mois-
ture to the air. At low temperatures,
air cannot hold a great deal of
moisture.
If the insulation is used to keep
the inside temperature at so de-
grees, considerably more water.will
be removed. 1t is a fact that air at
so degrees will hold six times as
much moisture as air at Is degrees
and will take that amount with it
when removed from the building by
the ventilation system.
