Ice and SnOiU Covering
Food Sources and Euen
Wdter Is Lacking.
Squirrels Suffer Also.
Says DR.. Bdrtsch in
Urging ActiOn.

Unless Washington householders
come to the rescue with bread
crumbs, grain and seed, the bird popu-
lation of the National Capital is in
imminent danger of being decimated
by starvation during the present snow
and Ice spell, It was declared today
by DR.. Paul Bartsch. curator of the
National Museum and professor of
zoology at George Washington Uni
versity.
Continued blanketing of the birds
food sources by rhe ice, sleet and
snow of the past several weeks has
brought the CHEEKY finches, impu-
dent sparrows, songful mocking birds
and other popular members of Wash
ington feathery fiocks to a famine
stricken state, DR.. Bartsch pointed
out.
Even the wary quail have been
forced by vicissitudes to throw eau
tion to the winds in their frantic hunt
for food, and a number of instances of
quail begging for crumbs at the rich
mans window" it might be said, have
been reported within the past few
days.
Even the police department has
taken an interest in the plight of
the bipds. Mai. Sullivan, superintend-
ent or pOlice, mas encouraged mem =
bers of his force, especially in subur-
ban sections, to make a daily habit
of feeding the songsters who sere-
made them on their beat.
Even Berries Gone.
IF residents of Washington only
realized what a pitiful condition their
feathered friends are in right now
am sure they would take time to
throw them a few grains OF corn, a
handful of birdseed. some chick en-
feed or piece of bread every morn
Ing" DR. Bartsch said. Unless they
do. the bird population of Washing
ton is going to be greatly diminished ID
in numbers.
"A short while ago, before the ice
and sleet formed on all the vegeta-
ton, saw bluebirds in Virginia feed
ing on poison ivy, poke berries, su-
mac berries and fruit of the Virginia
creeper. Even this frugal diet is de-
MED them now.
AT my home on Belmont street
l have a shelf at the dining room
window on which l keep a liberal
supply of various kinds of bird food.
Every morning they come in large
numbers - cardinals, song sparrows,
snow birds. downy woodpeckers and
others. They make short work of

cracked corn l place there.

NATIONALITY is CALLED
NECESSARY TO PEACE
Sir Richard Lodge Says This Prin-
ciple Was First Developed
in Britain.

mo peace is secure until we have
secured recognition of the principle
of nationality" Sir Richard Lodge,
professor of history and dean of the
faculty of arts, University of Edin-
burgh, declared in an address in Cor
coran Hall, George Washington Uni
versity, last night. The lecture was
the second of a. series on historical
subjects under the auspices of the
university.
Declaring that nationality was first
developed in England, he explained
that 1t was partly because England is
an island, and partly because ii was
conquered by a great organizing peo-
pie, the Normans. The chief cause,
however. was that of common tradi-
tions, common literature and the sense
of common achievements of the set-
tiers. These, he explained, are the
forces that build up nations

Task for Coolidge.
In selecting a new Secretary of
Agriculture to succeed Mr.. Gore,
President Coolidge was said to be
confronted with a particularly diff
cult task, inasmuch as his desire was
represented to be the appointment of
a man who will be able to work with
all the divergent elements which
touch that field.
Agriculture, it was pointed out, en-
braces a field containing many inter

Budget May he Separate.


The seventh recommendation Is
for removal of the bureau of the
budget from it's nominal connection
with the Treasury Department and
its establishment as an Independent
office directly under the control of
the President.
Most of these changes proposed by
the committee were included in the
plan submitted by the President on
February 13, 1928. The committee
after careful consideration of the
many aspects of it's problem was un-
able to concur in all of the sugges-
tions coming from the President but
in its report said that the seven ma
jor recommendations outlined above
go directly to the point of correcting,
so far as it is now possible for Con-
gress to do, the more prominent faults
which characterize the organization
of the executive branch of the Gov
ernment.
Benefits Are TabuIated.
The committee reported that adop-
tion of these recommendations would
result: First, in removing from all
departments those functions extran-
eous to the major departmental pur-
poses which interfere with effective
administration. or which, being
secondary. are not vigorously
handled; second, in assembling under
the same departmental supervision
all activities which are closely re-
lated and which, therefore, should be
CO. ordinated in administration; and
third, the extension of the control
by the cabinet officers to reach all
matters save those which must by
their very nature be handled by
agencies Independent of the regular
departmental organization.
A supplemental report, signed by
senator Harrison and Representative
Moore, the Democratic members OF
the joint committee, opposed the
transfer of the Bureau Of Public
Roads TO the Department of the
Interior.

lation is called up on the floor very
