McLemore on All Fours

I've always admired The Stars page
Of columnists, with its range Of opinion
from right to left-of-center. One can
always find more light than heat on
this page.
Now comes Mr.. McLemore, on all
fours, evidently new convert to jour-
nalistic primitivism. I'm referring to the
reference to the President as the piano
player" and Mr.. McLemore's complaint
that his stomach is turned. Perhaps he
feels that writing with his stomach and
other tissues is superior to writing with
the brain.
Can't The Star leave the tomato
throwing and brass knuckles to the
other journalistic primitives, who do a
much better and lustier job? Mr.. Nc
Lemore was much better with his mild
and humorous complaints about life's
little things.

the latter is virtually secure in his po-

such length Of time the Nation can be
destroyed.
This situation should be taken into
consideration in appraising the Truman
Macarthur incident. The military can't
talk back. The Executive can do all
the talking and propagandizing he
wants to. and can use this constitutional
power for political purposes and objec-
tives without let or hindrance. Which
then is the greater danger, the one we

have been exposed by the explicit pro-

Save Europe's Birds

The American conservationist knows
the inestimable value Of birds whose
food is insect pests. Such a one is
shocked at biological illiteracy in GER
tain parts Of Europe. From Flanders
Fields south to Gibraltar, also south
east to Italy and to Yugoslavia, birds are
slaughtered ruthlessly. That area lies
across the migration route of birds sum-
mering in Britain, Scandinavia, Ger
many.
Even the sparrow, whose breastmeat
is hardly mouthful. is netted, to go
into pies. Such sweet songsters as the
European blackbird, the skylark, even the
nightingale, are not spared. This de-
spite. because of their charming songs,
their very high esthetic value.
We now have a novel world viewpoint
through the United Nations, and an
International Union for the Protection
Of Nature. Should not America exert all
possible influence through such inter-
national bodies, both with organizations
at home and through European friends,
to awaken q consciousness, in the above
described parts Of Europe, as to the
value of conservation?

Uncle Rays Corner

Among all the people of ancient
times, the best road builders were
the Romans. They built such fine
roads that some of them have
lasted to the present time.
In the once-buried city of Pom.
peii, we can still see the old sur.
faces of the streets, but many
other Roman roads have surfaces
which have been repaired.
The most famous Roman roac
is the Appian Way. 1t stretches
southwark out of Rome, and in
ancient times it reached clear
down to the city of Brindisi
(Brundusium), a seaport in the heel
of the italian boot"
A public officer named Appius
Claudius gave his first name to
that great highway. The building
of it was started under his direc-
tion 1852 years ago.
Roman roads were of several
kinds, but here is the most COM
mon method used in building them

was cut between two cities. Then

In the trench. Coarse concrete,
about nine inches thick. was laid

No one with even a nodding ac-

''it's me, it's him, it's her" are to
be found in the best literature all
the way back to and preceding
Shakespeare. A few examples:

some other roads were covered with
stone blocks cut from lava. Lime.
stone blocks also were used tt
cover many Roman roads.
There was a slight curve in 8

higher than the rest. This curve
was made to allow water to drair

The result was that they failed tt

Roman roads were, however

paving blocks on the surface, but
their foundations are strong and

In short, as I explained in my re-

Mr.. English's "Me am it" is not
an idiom; it isn't anything at all

Its me" is found in the works of
such modern English writer's as
Laurence Housman, May Sinclair,
Anne Douglas Sedgwick, Joseph
Conrad and St. John Ervine.
The committee of judges appointed
in 1925 by the National Council Of
English approved ''it's me" by a
vote of 100 to 81. It was approved
by the superintendent of schools of
Cook County, ILL., (Chicago), and IN

the College Entrance Examination
Board. 1t has the approval of the
College Handbook of Composition
by Woolley and Scott.
In "The American Language" H.

good usage, and most authorities OF

defend it, at least condone it,"

kumquats from Florida, ribbon
candy, ROquefOrt and Camem-
bert cheeses and anchovy fill
lets. It's easy to make up food
baskets of your own, and you'll
find all of the ingredients at
Center Market City.
AMONG our cherished gifts
was a French wire salad basket
for washing salad greens-truly
"a marvellous invention, as any
one should know who has ever
washed salad green's. And
we've always wanted a wine
basket, and a long reed basket
for French bread. We got both
this Christmas, and how CRATE
full we are.
And for storing our collection
of herbs and spices, the most
delightful polished pine spice
cabinet-very old and very
charming.
In addition, we found two
homemade fruit cakes, two
baskets of Christmas cookies, a
crate of CALIFORNIA; famed
Calav0s (Which managed to ar
rive in good shape in spite of
the railroad strike), boxes of
candy, including our favOrite
date-nut roll and bourbon
candy from Kentucky.
As if this weren't enough for
one house, we found tins of
raspberry jam from Oregon,
delicious on English mullins,
a box of spices and herbs, to-
gether with a California red
wood salad bowl and a salad
fork and spoon of old copper
with wooden handles. Truly,
everything that cook could
ask for as an aid to serving
better meals to her family.
