West Europe Monetary Union?

slgn1hcant consequence of Britains
devaluation of the pound sterling Is
Frances proposal to Italy, Belgium, the
Netherlands and some other countries
OF Continental Europe that they establish
q common monetary system as a means
OF stabilizing their currencies.
This suggestion should be considered
from wider angle than its purely finan-
cial aspect. In large part it reflects
French dislike of Britain's devaluation-
at least, dislike at the sudden and drastic
nature OF the move. A statement by the
French Finance Ministry asserts that
Britain's action has compelled France to
devalue its franc from $50 to $50 to the
dollar, since its economic situation Is
notably improved and its monetary posi-
ton is firm. But sterling devaluatiop, fol-
lowed by virtually all members of the
sterling bloc, would have handicapped
French exports to all those markets If
the normal exchange rate had been
maintained.
Accompanying this devaluation Is the
adoption of what amounts to free none
tary market for the French franc, with the
authorization of the International None
that the Finance Ministry believes the
350-to-the-dollar rate reflects the French
francs true value and that it is prepared
to see it seek its own level, albeit it should
! be noted that on the black market the
dollar is bringing 1872 francs as compared
to $40 before devaluation. Still, this
margin is relatively small. And it is upon
free-market basis that France Is ap-
preaching the other continental coun-
tries. They, Of course, would each have
to obtain similar authorization from the
Monetary Fund as prerequisite to a
common monetary system. This could
involve complexities, because the positions
OF the Belgian franc, the Dutch guilder
and the Italian lira are quite different,
rejecting as they do diverse economic
strengths. AS a matter of fact, while
Italy seems favorable, it is reported that
the first reactions of Belgium and the
Netherlands indicate considerable reserve
Nevertheless, there appear to be solid
reasons favoring some such monetary
agreement. To begin with, the devaluations
already made in the wake of sterling
represent realignment with economic
realities, so far as sterling is concerned.
What the French Finance Ministry aims
at Is coordination of continental ex-
change rates from the standpoint of the
continental countries themselves, rather
than in relation to sterling, which the
French financial experts believe gives
Britain undue trade advantages. This
standpoint was officially set forth in an
interview which Finance Minister Maurice
Petsche gave to the newspaper Monde.
Describing the new sterling rate as "a
trade-war rate for competition in inter-
national markets." he continued: "The
pound had to be devalued, but the rate
selected requires breastworks to be thrown
up for the defense of other economies and
the international markets" Unofficial
French financial comment asserts that the

Says Government Girls Dress Sloppily


Says Government Girls Dress Sloppily
To the Editor Of The Star:
Happily, there are few esthetically dis
turbing prospects in the National Capital.
There is one, however, which is ever
present That it is realized only sub
consciously Is probably because its in
dividual instances, although painful, seldom
are sufficiently horrible to cause them to
come to the forefront of the mind. refer
to the manner in which Government girls
dress.
survey made recently Cor perhaps 1t was
only an observation made by style expert)
expressed the conclusion that Washington
women were among the best dressed In the
Nation. It must be that this comment was
made after an afternoon spent in the May
flower bar. Certainly, the look-see couldn't
have included a peek into Government
building.
Half of the Government girls look as
though they selected their wardrobe at a
rummage sale-and while blindfolded. A
goodly portion of the remainder give the
appearance of having acquired theirs at the
same rummage sale without the impediment
Of a blindfold, but when only odds and ends
were left. Certainly the Washington stores
can't be blamed; they are equal to any In
the country.

Of affairs is that it is so unnecessary. Taste
ful clothes are as easy to get as untasteful
ones and need cost no more.
The Southern belle: The sweet and vir-
ginal touch is featured, even long after such
is appropriate. A bow here, ribbon there,
and glob Of lace to touch it all off. Pink
and blue is favored, usually in combination.
The old plantation is the locale and soft
songs at eventide the musical motif.
The Eva Tanguay or II don't care" type.
Here there is what may be striving toward
the Bohemian. What of twisted seam or
low-hanging slip? Her mind is apparently
enough to dictate the casting away Of that
sloppy looking babushka.
The clothes horse: A relative newcomer
to the Government service; probably origi-
nally indigenous to the war period when
something was needed to Offset the same
ness and drabness Of uniforms. The full
sleeve is one of the features here. Several
bracelets, long earrings and choker COM
plete the outfit.
The junior executive: In striving for
severity in dress, she achieves the appear
ance Of q quietly dressed usher.
Sometimes waver and say to myself that
I'm too hard on the dears. Then I find
myself one day in front Of the National
Press Building at lunchtime. The smartly
dressed chicks pour out and I'm recon-
vinced.
The situation may not be totally lost for
: I do confess that, even at State society
dance. have never seen saddle shoes with
an evening gown.
Perhaps we should modify Robert Her.

Kindles in clothes wantonness"

This and That
By Charles E. TraceweU
"FAIRFAX STATION. Va.

Dear Sir:
We have noticed several baby-sized lizard.
around our back porch. -
They are black with several narrow vel
low stripes down the back and beautiful
blue tail. '' ~
This spring saw a large one about s
inches long. We have been told they are
poisonous but hesitate to kill them until
am certain.
Can you tell me anything about them
Sincerely yours. R. " r"
This is the blue-tailed skink,
SkinkS form genus of lizards.
The South African species are regarded by
the natives as an antidote for poisons.
They are in no sense harmful. and should
be let alone.
They help to keep q place clean of flies.
much more dangerous creatures, as science
tells us.
The blue-tailed skink. scientifically named
Plestiodon fasciatus is the commonest East
ern FORM
The little ones are slaty-black, sometimes
dark brown. with five pale stripes the length
OF the back, and bright blue tail.
The older ones show some pink on the
head.
The old males may be told from the
females by the head color. They are not
much larger than the females, but they
have more red over the head and sometimes
lose all their stripes.
These are the lizards the Southern boys
often call red-headed scorpions" They
are not, OF course, scorpions and are not
poisonous. although they might bite II

Lizards are reptiles, although some persons
confuse them with salamanders.
TO most persons, any living creature which
Is four-legged. long-tailed and cold -blooded
is lizard"
salamanders possess these same qualifi-
cations. but are amphibians.
Salamanders are moist to the touch
whereas lizards have q rough, scaly skin
usually dry to the touch, if one cares to
touch them. which most don't.
Not all lizards have four legs. Some have
none at ALL and fool people into thinking
them snakes.
The legless forms. though reptiles, have
eyelids and outer ear openings, neither pos
sessed by snakes.
Desert lizards Of our great Southwest
seldom sport bright colors, blue or otherwise
They have subdued tones Of yellows and
grays, blending in with the desert landscape
This coloration is one Of the reasons they
can live in such places.
These desert lizards must burrow, and in
doing SO are protected by nature with valves
with which to close the nose at will, eyes
with a transparent disc in the center, and
ear openings concealed by heavy fringe
Every one has heard Of the horned toad
It is desert wonder. properly estimated by
Saroyan in his my Name is Aram."
These odd desert creatures run swiftly
over the sand by rising on their hind legs,
holding their front legs up out Of the way,
balancing themselves as they run by using
the long tail as q sort Of balancer.
Every one has heard Of the gila monster
with one exception, the beaded lizard of
Mexico, the only poisonous lizard in the
world.
None Of the others are poisonous. although
most persons think they are.
They should not be rpoleste6 because they
eat many insects inimical to mankind

Would Have Government Girls
Go Back to Teaching
To the Editor Of The Star:
What are we going to do about the teacher
shortage? Why not persuade some of the
many school marms," who have found the
Government salaries so enticing and WASH
ington so glamorous, to return to the pro-
fession for which they are so well fitted and
in which they are so badly needed? Increase
the teaching salaries, and perhaps they will
decide to lead more useful lives than they
do pushing pencils or twiddling thumbs at

Junior RO1C Proposed
BY q Believer in Physical Preparedness
To the Editor of The Star:

Junior ROYC Proposed
BY Believer in Physical Preparedness
To the Editor Of The Star:
It is important for people to face facts
and see that the present Cadet Corps is
worthless in preparation for modern defense,
as it is mostly drill.
Modern war is an all-out, highly technical
matter, in which almost every person, male
and female is required to take a part, and
in view of the costly loss of life and money
which we sustained in the past because Of
lack Of preparedness, it is most urgent that
all defense training be put on a realistic
basis. One important phase of 1t would be
the forming of junior ROTC in schools,
making it compulsory, or at least matter
Of honor, integrating it into the school
curriculum teaching riflery, military science,
first aid. etc., and dispensing with uniforms.
as many cannot afford them.
It would be a serious mistake to have
cadet training take the place of any physical
training. The complete manpower of over
100000 men was lost during World War II,
and partial loss of many more, through
physical disability. Calisthenics, especially.
should be required in every year of school
life, as the only exercise that builds up all
the muscles of all the children. In competi-
tive games many Of the children sit on the
sidelines Gay music would make them less
boring.
If this defense training were spread over
a period of years 1t would cause no hard
ship. but would save much, as no country
would attack us if it knew we were strongly
prepared. l. M.
Thinks Boisterous Minority of Passengers
May Have Caused Noronic Disaster
To the Editor Of The STAR
About Is hours before the burning of the
s. s. Noronic at its Toronto pier, my wife
and I disembarked at the Canadian port
after trip on the Kingston from Prescott.
When we retired at 10 pm. the preceding
night, gay party was in progress on the
deck. It had reached the point where 1t
was loud and boisterous. Those who had
retired found sleep impossible.
I remarked to my wife that such riotous
behavior might lead to fire, In the event
OF which panic might ensue and precipi-
tate a shocking disaster.
When read Of the fate Of the Noronic
In the Albany Knickerbocker News Saturday
night. my first reaction was that the fire
probably was caused by drunken and irres-
ponsible people who were aboard. This
presumption was based on the conduct Of
