Cheap Goods Sold.
AS "AII Wool

THE AMERICAN WOOL Council has
issued warning against band of
door-to-door statesmen who sell cheap
substitute fabrics as Atwood The
racket is said to be conferred in rural
communities.
The itinerant statesmen offer what are
described as luxury wool fabrics at
sacrifice prices, victims of the racket
report notwithstanding labels identi-
flying the fabrics as "alI-woor' play a
big part in clinching most sales. The
sales pitch usually includes personal
hard luck story, they say.
w. H. Steiwer, president of the Amer
lean Wool Council, says these operations
constitute nationwide swindle of gil
gantic proportions. They are cleverly
devised to escape effective prosecution
and are geographically planned to vic
tirnize widely scattered segments of the

in which the fabrics are to be sold to
avoid prosecution for a violation of the
Wool Products Labelling Act.

ordered to leave the locality immediate

a small fraction of days profit from
their Illegal enterprise. Occasionally
they are released on bond and quickly
leave town, FORGETTING the bond, he
states. In a few instances where local
authorities have apprehended members
of these sales crews and have been
fully aware of their vast operations,
local laws have not permitted effective
prosecution.
Steiwar says individual citizens can
assist law enforcement officers in put
ting stop to this racket by asking to
see the credentials of all door-to-door
statesmen. and by buying fabrics and
apparel only from persons showing
proper credentials or in retail stores,
and by reporting Immediately to local
police and Better Business Bureaus any
person selling door-to-door under sus-
piciouS circumstances.

Tests Show Grazing
Wastes Forage

PRELIMINARY results from dairy
cattle feeding trials at Beltsville, Md,
indicate that milk cows will use more
than enough pasture Of high quality
than is required for maximum milk
production.
The trials compared three types Of
pasture utilization by cows:
1. Normal rotation-cows grazing a
large area for a period of or days
and then rotated;
2. Strip grazing-cows confined to
new strip of pasture each day; and
8. Soiling- forage is cut each day and
taken to the cows.
Though no figures are yet available
from these comparisons, the research
workers are finding that when cows are
given a free hand-as in the normal
rotation-grazin method - they waste
forage land forage acreage) by picking
and choosing. Under a controlled graz
ing or soiling system of management,
less forage is wasted, with the result
that more milk may be produced per
acre.
For the larger operators and those
who have equipment to do the job, the
scientists believe that soiling may prove
a good method of handling tall, fast
growing forage species such as alfalfa
and grass-alfalfa mixtures well adapt
ed to mechanical harvesting. In irri-
gated areas, where fast growth could
be maintained over longer period,
soiling undoubtedly will have wider APP
plication than in areas without irriga-
ton.
1t is unlikely that soiling would be
practical with Iow-growing, leafy for
age plants Both soiling and strip graz
ing allow desirable plant re-growth be-
tween grazing or harvesting periods.

proprietor. Cervantes probably-it helps
the legend to concede it-did the actual
writing of the first part in prison between
1897 and 1902. A rascal named Alfonso
Fernandez de Avellaneda brought out an
alleged second part in 1914, and thus
drove Cervantes to finish an authentic
sequel which appeared in 1915. Cele-
brated at home and abroad as he well
deserved to be in that year, the Knights
chronicler still was poor and the time
was past when it would have made a
difference if it had been otherwise with
him.
Now, however, the debt should be
paid; and it is. People who never have
read word of the text render 1t homage
when they borrow from it such axioms
as Don't look gift horse in the mouth"
and Don't count your chickens before

Don Quixote'

Scholars-and a good many people
who are content to like the book simply
because they like it-are celebrating the
350th anniversary of the publication OF
"Don Quixote." The exact date of its
appearance is not known, but the license
for it was granted September 26, 1904,
and the actual printing was done in the
following spring. What Cervantes hoped
might be the result when the presses
labored no longer matters. Like Shake
Speare, who died on the same st. Georges
day, 1915, he had little reward for his
work in his own time. The world pays
both men the coin of immortality, and
the poverty Of their own experience might
as well be forgotten.
All ages are neglectful. Yet 1t like
wise is true that all generations are quick
to their advantage. We would not have

Guy Mason took Office as District
Commissioner few months before Pearl

was marked by rapid and profound
changes in the character of Washing

He brought to his job an intimate knowl-
edge of the city and its people, and there
piled themselves with more obvious relish
for the duties and responsibilities of his
position. He knew and candidly admitted
his weaknesses as an administrator, but
they were very human and understand
able weaknesses, never the result OF
cowardice or 1ndecision, but rejecting
streaks of impulSiveneSS, short temper
and sometimes stubbornness that COM
manded more affection than cenSure

one ever questioned his rugged honesty,
reflected in his own willingness to admit
error without harboring grudges against
those who may have pointed it out. He
left Office with more friends than when
he took over, and with nothing to be
ashamed of and no regrets. He was not

Concept of Freedom

I disagree with the concept
of what constitutes freedom"
as expressed in your Fourth
Of July editorial, 1.-THE Impact
uf Freedom"
With the end of World War
I, nobility and aristocracy in
many European countries were
abolished and the royal fami-
lies lost their power and in
fluence. The common people
came into power, and since
then there has been no real
freedom in Europe.
Since the Bolsheviks took
control of Russia in 1917 the
Russian people have lived in
terror and misery. The aris-
tocratic Tsars were fine, noble
people compared to the regime
of gangsters and sadists now
in power. A common man will
murder, not only the aristoc-
racy, but even his own blood
and kin, to stay in power.
In our own country, Amer
lea, the common people have
taken over every field Of en-
deavor. What is written in the
Declaration of Independence
embodies the concept Of a re-
publican form Of government.
not a democracy. With over
emphasis on democracy" this
Nation is being weakened and
is going through the greatest
social deterioration ever known.
Common people in power do
not enhance or promote free
dom. They gradually destroy
it. History has proven that
when the blood strain Of ma
tions is weakened through ex-
termination of the nobility and
ariStocracy, then the leader
ship becomes inferior, and de-
cay and deterioration destroy
the fabric of all society. George
Washington was an aristocrat.
Our America of today. with
conditions existing as they
are, brought on by common
people, was certainly not the
dream and vision of Gen.
Washington. Neither was it
the concept of freedom" by
those 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence.
or of those 80 men from IL
Colonies who signed the Con-
stitution of the United States.
There will always be differ
ent classes of people. There is
no real freedom In equality.

Death of an Anti-Red

The Star OF July 8 brings me
a message of personal sorrow.
My good friend Matus Cernak
has been murdered by the
despicable device of a pack
age bomb. which also killed a
woman, injured 13 bystanders
and wrecked the Schwabing
post Office. Only a year ago
my wife and I were lunching
with him on the terrace of
the Koenigshof III Munich.
Matus was telling of his hopes
for a future free Slovakia and
how much the Slovaks owe
their political inspiration to
America.
Whoever did the job-ob-
viously professionals hired by
the Czecho- Communist gov
ernment in Prague knew
Matus' weakness for packages.
He spent much Of his time COL

clothing for penniless Slovaks

many so-called social work.
ers" in the refugee field, he
collected neither a salary nor
a percentage. He owned only
one presentable suit Of clothes,
and he lived in a room about
the size of a large American
bathroom, which served as
combined newspaper Office, po-
litical headquarters. relief
warehouse and Incidentally
eating and sleeping room.
Matus Cernak was one of
the great Communist
leaders Of Europe and one Of
the best friends of the United
States. His loss is a serious
blow to the Slovak people and
all other enslaved peoples who
are struggling to regain their
freedom.
Matus Cernak was liqui-
dated, but the movement which
he headed cannot be liqui-
dated-it has gained a new
martyr alongside its heroes
Stefanik and Tiso. The Slo-
yak National movement was
and remains the movement
which commands the loyalty
Of the Slovak people-for
which they will get up and
fight, when the time comes.
This is a case where we can
afford to believe the Commu-
nists, and shape our policies
accordingly. Kurt Glasar.

Learning by Experience

AS Defense Mobilizer Flemming
aptly put it, civil defense plans that
exist only on paper are mot worth the
paper on which they are written" 1t
was to try out the paper plans for civil
defense that the Government staged the
recent "alert" test, during which key
Federal officials went to secret "reloca-
ton centers" far from Washington. AS
was to be expected, many lessons were
learned from the exercise. Mr.. Flemming
has summed them up for the President
in a report which should be of value in
carrying out further and more extensive
tests.
That more tests of the trial-and-
error sort are needed is plain from the
findings of Federal, State and municipal
officials during Operation Alert 1855"
One of the important findings was that
more attention must be paid to the
selection and organization of the centers
where Government officials will be relo-
Gated in an atomic emergency. Mr..
Flemming reported that operations were
smoother wherever the relocation center
was set up at an established govern
mental agency. There were confusion
and delay where new quarters were
staked out. It is for this reason that
the Defense Mobilizer has recommended
that further study be given to the desig-
nation of such centers, with provision for
organizing permanent cadres of workers
to keep the centers in operating condition
at all times. This Is an interesting pro-
posal, provided something useful can be
found for the cadres to do while they
await an alert or a real emergency.
All in all, the comments Of the off,
cials who observed the test indicate that
the relocation program can be made to
operate successfully. But it will take
more than one or two exercises to
provide the training necessary to make
the paper plans effective. The critique
on the June test will make good guide
book for future reference.
