CHEVY CHASE SETS

Chevy Chase has the most dense bird
population Of any section Of the United
States, according to the first oflicial
bird census ever taken in this country.
Just completed by the Department Of
Agriculture.
The census shows that there are six
ty pairs Of English sparrows to the
square mile throughout the United
States, or seven to every 100 native
birds.
One. Of the most striking conclusions
Of the census Is that breeding birds pre-.
fer thickly inhabited centers. This evi.

The robin is the most abundant Of all
native birds. according to the census
There are nearly as many English SPAR

The statistics regarding bluebirds are
particularly gratifying. biologists de-
clare. Only few years ago nearly the
whole bluebird population Of the East
ern section was destroyed by a severe
winter, but there are now several mil.
lions in this territory and they are on
the increase.
In the northeastern section. where the
census was most thorough, there were
on an average six pairs OF robins to
each farm of fifty-eight acres. English
sparrows averaged ave pairs per farm

The average density Of bird population
for the United States is one pair ol

DONATION WEEK"

The appeals sent out by workers
for Donation Week, when every
Washington citizen is asked to con-
tribute toward Washington charities,
are entirely in keeping with be
spirit Of the season.
One Of these appeals is for work.
ers. Volunteers are needed for the
$50 collection stations, and for vari-
ous other activities planned for the
wesk. Here is an excellent chance
10 translate into terms Of helpful en-
deavor an observance Of the first
weak in Lent.
The second appeal is to every man,
woman, and child in Washington, to
contribute money, provisions OF
clothes. Here, too, can sacrifice become
doubly blessed if the things denied
oneself are turned over to the needy
and suffering. If Washington shall
respond to this call as generously
as have Baltimore, Philadelphia, and
other cities, every citizen must dc
his part. Contributors are to be
given q chance to designate to what
charity their. contribution shall be
applied. Here is a chance to ballot
for q worthy cause without restric'
tion as to age or sex. The dispose
of the undesignated portion Of this
fund is in good hands, being il

been able to present numerous init
mate views of the opinions Of lead
ing Germans. He declares that SEN
timent antagonistic to the United
States is developing very fast; that
this country's determined attitude
of neutrality is looked upon as un-
friendly to Germany; that Ameri-
cans no longer wear the Stars and
Stripes on their lapels because the
device insures none Of the respect
1t inspired earlier; that the spirit Of
hostility goes even into social rela-
tions, SO that many people accus-
toned to entertain Americans are
ceasing to do 50 for fear Of unpleas-
ant incidents.
It is disquieting news, premonition
Of which was contained in the COM
ment of the German press at the
time the Washington Government
sent its shipping note to Berlin
There is no reason to fear that the
German government will overstep
the bounds Of entire propriety in its
relations with this country; but ev.
cry government reflects the senti-
ments Of its people. It does not
seem, from this side the ocean, that
the German people are justified in
their feeling toward the United
States; and it is inevitable that
whatever may be the developing sen.
timents there, they will be to some
extent reflected here. It is fair to
say that II the relations of the two
countries are ever subjected to q
stress, it will be largely the result
of illconsidered expressions Of Ger.
man disappointment that this coun.
try has not openly sympathized with
the allied Germanic nations. As q
matter Of fact, this disappointment
is felt by both the allies and the
Germans; each side expected more
from the United States than it has
had; and the fact that both have
been disappointed is about as good
testimony as could be produced, Of
the really proper attitude Of true
neutrality here.
