@. Does camphor harm sterling silver?-
FL.
A. The National Bureau of Standards says
that camphor will not harm silver. It Is
often placed In cabinets with silverware.
The gradual emission of camphor vapor in
side fairly tight cabinet tends to exclude
other gases and thus helps to protect the
silver from furnishing.
Q. Why are mimeograph stencils blue2 Is
there some reason for this color, or could
they be made in q color that is not so hard
on the eyes?-M. B.
A. Monograph stencil paper Is sometimes
colored blue to provide good contrast be-
tween the cutout characters and the paper
for ease In reading. Some stencil paper is
tinted green to avoid undue eye strain in
reading.
Q. When was the first United States air.
mail stamp issued? What was the denomi-
nation?J. p.
a. The Post once Department says that
the first airmail stamp in the United States
was issued In the 24-cent denomination and
first placed on sale en- May 13, 1915 at
Washington, d. C. The stamp was rec
tangular In shape, about 70 inch long and
v inch high.
c. What can be done to get rid Of insects

Calls For Restoration
OF Admiral Denfeld As Chief
- - /. vS,<n, 40 m. at.r.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The most urgent matter confronting Con-
gress as this session opens is the re-
establishment Of its authority over the arms
OF the Nation. The first, most critical and
immediate step in that process should be the
reinstatement Of Admiral Denfeld as Chief
Of Naval Operations. For, II there is one
the Nation. 1t Is, the vindication Of this
man. who has fulfilled In letter and spirit
every obligation OF his own.
Besides the unequiyocal understanding
which he and the Congress had with the
National Defense ofiicials, he was not only
acting within the provisions Of the law but
was following the course enjoined upon him
BY the law. His act in testifying was an
acknowledgment Of the authority Of the
sovereign republic, and thus Of the institu-
tions. processes and principles Of representa-
tive government.
Admiral Denfeld demonstrated his loyalty
to the Constitution. the Nation, and the Ma
tons naval interests. to which. by the terms
Of his oath he was sworn ("with no !.
purpose Of evasion') when he undertook to
serve his country In naval capacity. There
can be no other. no Intermediary. loyalty,
duty or obedience" without violation Of that
cath.
Z In SuOSCdIlCe, GIlht ~ Tic COILIACt We nave
with him. No group or individual. depart
ment or branch Of arms has any contract
with him at all-nor any basis for exacting
loyalty or demanding adherence to
policy Of its own. When such q policy
arises In our midst. clearly at variance with
our democratic principles and concepts, and.
moreover. proceeding along lines detrimental
to our maritime interests and oceanic de-
lenses. 1t is the policy that should be elimin-
ated-not the man.
We need this man. We need his know
ledge, Judgment. experience and skill; above
all we need his honest, and indisputable
integrity. We need him, not as a figurehead
in some token job. but back where he be-
longs, as head Of our naval service. For In
this position we need something more than
q competent officer and disciplinarian; we
need man with special qualities-in par
ticular one who embodies the American
ideal Of the reciprocal nature Of command"
by which man who gives orders personally
must be responsible for their soundness and
feasibility, but. conversely. also must assume
responsibility for the lives and well-being
Of tnose who aerve under him, represent and
speak for them and defend their interests.
Admiral Denfeld Has demonstrated these
qualities outstAndinely; he has the trust
and respect of the Navy Is well as that OF

sees Christ's Teachings
As Foundation of Peace

AS the New Year 1850 starts, people all
over the world pray and hope for peace. But
peace on earth can be achieved and will
survive only under certain conditions. These
conditions are not new. The affairs Of the
world and its destiny are guided by human
beings. Men regardless of position, wealth
or knowledge are motivated by human de-
Sires.
The basic truth that we all are brothers
under God can be reality. Friction always
will exist among nations and peoples just
as in a small family because it is human.
But Christian principles must flourish If man
wants to live.
Christians all over the world must unite
and focus their attention not on forms and
doctrines but on the essence of Christ's
teachings. JOHN E. PARASKEVAS.

Challenges Fair Deal Statistics
On National Income

TO the Editor Of The STAR
Perhaps figures do not lie. but when used
BY politicians, who iuggle with human misery
for votes, they can be misleading.
The argument OF Fair Deal drum heaters
that the national income averages less than
$1,000 year for each person Is about as
convincing q 4 lawyers attempt 70 prove
that black Is white.
such statistics do not include the Incomes

Suggests Replacing District Markers
To Accommodate Property Owners


To the Editor Of The Star:
I was interested in an article in the jan
uary edition of your paper, dealing with
the preservation Of original landmarks IN the
District of Columbia.
Although I can understand the attitude
of the D. A. r. in preserving such historical
relics I also can sympathize with the
property owners who must suffer from the
sight caused by these markers ana tne
grotesque fences surrounding them.
Due to the fact that these markers are
deteriorating, wouldn't it be more practical
to resurvey the area consign these markers
to safer place, and replace these markers
by more durable and less noticeable ones,
such as those used by the Cost and Geodetic
Survey?
I think it is a fine gesture to preserve or
keep alive the ever-changing history OF
Washington, but consideration should be
given to those for whom these markers
mean nothing but inconvenience and un-
slightly display. WILLIAM A. NUTTY.

Sees Neglect Of Insane
A Heartless Crime
TO the Editor Of The Star:

~ nCSEthC80 NKA1HC
TO ths Editor Of The star:
I read with great interest the article in
your paper headed: MANY GIs In Mental
Hospitals Forgotten by Families" It IS IL
most impossible to believe such things
happen in civilized country. but truth Is
stranger than fiction and truth is q concep-
tion Of facts that cannot be deprecated by
any human argument.
Since insanity is not pleasant subject.
there is q desire to forget those confined
in mental hospitals. With the insane that
emotional sympathy from which action
springs is unusual. The idea Of insanity is
repellent People don't want to think about
it. They don't want to be brought into con-
tact with 1t. And so feeling they put the
needs and attention, as they put the ex-
istence Of the insane, right out of their
minds.
People generally do not realize, perhaps,
that 95 out OF hundred patients are inno-
cent, harmless and forgotten individuals.
The word "insane" unfortunately brings into
the mind Of the public picture Of q huge
gorilla-like person with teeth sticking out
at various angles, matted hair hanging down
before his face claw-like hands, and q wild
look in his eyes. This is quite untrue, and
the common mistake of thinking everyone
Is insane who is confined is tragic.
Too often we overlook the fact that So
called insane manifestations are in many
instances merely gross exaggerations Of
traits, moods, thoughts or acts that have q
normal background and repressed existence
In many, If not all, Of us.
Neglect Of the insane Of nation is one
Of the most dangerous and heartless crimes
OF which we can be guilty. # ever there was
condition in which the public. you and /.
should be interested, it Is the care and treat
ment Of veterans, many Of whom acquired
their illness defending the homes and lives
Of the persons who have forgotten them.

more than $4,375,OOO during the

The Veterans Administration in

his candidacy for reelection en-

about.

Lashes At Unlicensed Gambling
The much discussed possibility
of contest for the Office of mayor
in DOver's annual municipal cleo
tion on January 16, became a real
ity when William J. Cavanaugh fl
ed his papers as a candidate, op-
posing Mayor William ]. Storey,
and issued a statement concerning
his attitude towards the Office.
For the first time in the modern
history of the city a mayor will be
elected for a two-year-term at the
coming election. Previously, the
mayor was elected for only one
year, but this was changed in a
charter amendment by the last
session of the Legislature.
Mayor Storey, now completing
his first term in that Office, an
nOunced almost two months ago
that he would be a candidate for
reelection, in conjunction with the
members of City Council whose
terms expire this year. These Off
cials are basing their campaign on
their present record in office. Nom
mating papers for Mayor Storey
and three of the members of Coun-
ell were filed soon after they made
