WINTER
by d. c. PEATTIE.

The calling of a cardinal. down the
valley near my house, is always a
magical event in Winter time. Bird
song In Winter is like water in the
desert, strawberries in January. mimosa
sprays in February. 1t reminds me of
the happy fact that we are situate, here
in the District of Columbia, in the
southern half Of the Appalachian life
zone, where Winters are not too severe,
and bird life and plant life never go
into the total eclipse of Northern
regions.
That bold master cardinal should
yelp and holler," as country child who
lives near me so graphically, if I'M
POLITICALLY, expresses It, all in the deep,
dead middle of Winter and rough
weather, is the most heartsome and
cheerful fact know today. There will
be Summer droughts; there will be bad
years: there have been wars and
plaques; but still, of a fine frosty morn
ing. the fat red cardinal is heard, all
in his love Of being alive.
Why birds sing raises inevitably the
old controversy between the mechanists
and the vitalists. The simplest answer
is that birds sing to attract their mates
that they do it instinctively. the way
our young SWANS murmur sweet moth
ings in Sylvia's ear: that nobody needs
to teach them. Such is the mechan-
istic explanation, but the trouble with
the pleasing, the almost mathematical
simplicity of mechanistic theories of
life phenomena is that they are too
pat" Only on paper are problems so
readily disposed Of. Master Cardinal,
for instance. is not engaged, in the
dead of Winter, in looking for mate.
A vniln0 birds fancy lightly turns in
that direction about next April.
Why, then, is the cardinal singing
now? The vitalist school of thought Is
ready with an answer. Because he is
full of life And what is life. you ask?
All, say the vitalists, what is it, indeed?
Nobody knows Nobody can ever know.
It's futile, and indeed quite tiresome of
the mechanists. to 60 looking for me-
chanical explanations Life is merely a

FOOD PROBLEMS
NJ SALLY MONROE.
About Milk,

There are, Of course, some persons
with whom milk does not agree, just
as there are persons who seemingly do
not thrive on eggs.
Remember this, however-that milk
should not be taken at the same time
with acids-even with acid fruit. 1t
should not be used as beverage at a
meal where proteins are amply sup
piled by meat, legunes or cheese. An
other point is to be kept in mind
Milk, being a fluid food, leaves the
diet lacking in bulk or roughage. If
you use milk as a food, include plenty
of. vegetables and fruit in your diet.
If you do not eat them at the same
meal with milk, be sure that you have
them at some other meal in the "a
hours.
Carrots and Eggs.
Scrape and cut bunch of young
carrots into half-inch lengths and boil
in sailed water. Drain and put in a
dish. Add melted butter and pepper
and then four we'll beaten eggs. Cook
in the oven until the eggs are set.
Serve Immediately, but before sending
to the table garnish with minced
parsley.

McC arthy's Luck

Many baseball observers have
compared the luck against
which Joe Mccarthy is run
ming in his first year as man
ager of the Yankees, to the
same streak of bad fortune into
which Walter johnson ran the
season of 1929 when he was
plotting his first big league
club, here.
That year johnson. like Nc
earthly this year, started out
with high enough hopes, but
ran afoul of illness and injuries
that are nightmares to any big
league pilot.
With Ruth, Hoag Cooke and
more recently Byrd, all on the
shelf, McCarthy's outfield re-
sembles sieve and his batting
order the punch of a fruit
cocktail. But Boss Joe knows
that baseball is a tickle
business and that it's a long
baseball lane that has no turn
ing, or ending, or something.
Anyway, he'll take what he's
got, and do about as much with
it as the next manager now
under the big tent.
New York has given Washing
ton enough hustle on its initial
visit here to prove that when
the Yanks are licked, they're
licked standing up, not laying
down. If that's any consola-
ton.
