One must not expect as many species
Of birds at the feeding board in the
city as come to the feeder in the Sub
urban areas.
Steady customers will include cardi-
mails, English sparrows, starlings in sea-
son, pigeons, perhaps hummingbird or
two at this time Of year, with an oc-
casional visit from a bluebird, cat
bird, mockingbird, wren and wood
thrush.
Crowded neighborhoods, with heavy
traffic in street and alley, keep down
the bird population, but any one gen.
timely interested in birds can have many
fine specimens all the year around.
We have just received an interesting
letter telling Of the pleasure the writer
has received during the past eight
months through the installation of two
feeding boards with raised edges.
Begun in the Winter, after reading of
this recreation here, the work has
brought our correspondent 20 cardinals,
which would be an unusual number, even
for the suburbs.
These beautiful birds alone would
make the work well worth while. This
letter attests the remarkable results
which may be secured the year around.
Many persons stop feeding the birds in
Spring and Summer, but some discover
for themselves that many of the song
sters like q little "hand-out" at other
times.
Feeding the wild birds is personal
discovery.
npa NAV rood oho,,t u hut 1,,iI1 t,auor
know it until he tries it for himself.
Scattering food on the ground, while
1t has its uses, cannot take the place
of the feeding board or other device,
especially the sort which automatically
feeds out the grain, at the same time
protects the reserve supply from the
weather.
No one, simply by taking thought, can
understand the full pleasure of feeding
the birds and watching them as they eat.
1t is recreation with many ramifi-
cations, leading into other fields.
Depths of philosophy may be touched
If the observer is SO minded.
One of the best places for a feeder, as
our correspondent has discovered, is at
a windowsill, where the antics of the
birds and other creatures-especially the
SquirrelS-may be watched from the
inside.
At this time of year a real advantage
Of this type of board is that snapshots
may be taken of the birds, especially
when feeding their young, SO tame do
they become.
An excellent photo accompanied the
letter. 1t shows the window, the board,
and on the latter father cardinal feed
ing a young one.
Such "shots" as this give the amateur
photographer a whole new field for his
skill.
They may be secured through the
window easily at this season, from either
side, for that matter. In Winter good
pictures may be taken from the inside
out, thus getting the little fellows in the
snow.
The advantage of the board at the
window. next to the fact that it permits
the observers to watch the birds at their
ease, is that it affords opportunity for
photographs at ease, too.
Catching the Songsters is not easy and

Fascination.

The public likes a big parade
Where gilded glories are displayed.
We like to see the banners float
And hear the steam pianos note.
We like to hear the barker proud
Bring cheer to the expectant crowd.
We like to pay the ticket man
Who will short change us If he can.
And even when we homeward go,
Saying twas just the same old show;
We go again with eagerness.
We always like it nonetheless

Mr.. Snyder Wrong by More
Than Nine Thousand Years
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of Ths Star:
Reference is made to the letter pub
lished on the editorial page Of The
Star of August 18, in which Mr.. j. Ed
Snyder gives some mathematical con-
clusionS regarding our billions Of debt.
Mr.. Snyder states that in order to count
"a hours day. 1865 days year, would
take 9,512 years, "a days, 5 hours and
20 minutes. BY simple arithmetic, my
calculations show that it would take, a
fraction over nine and half years.
Apparently Mr.. Snyder Is in error by
some 9.502 years. MARTIN MOORE.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
An Old Garden.

There's little garden that know
Tucked away in a quiet street
With an ancient house Of yellow brick
And a very old stone garden seat.
Beside the seat fountain plays
All green with moss It's tinkling spray
Makes liquid music in its pool:
And at the dusk hour Of the day
A dear old lady comes to sit
On the stone seat. / think she dreams
OF dusks long-gone when two sat there
Watching the fount catch sunset

1t might be dangerous for America to
sell munitions abroad. There is just a
possibility that one of our own airplanes
might get lost in fog and drop bombs
on one of our own seaports under the
impression that it was an enemy city.
One Of the objections to war is the con-
fusion 1t creates, such as to prevent even
carrying out its own intentions.

January got away to Q bad start, reporting thirty-one fatal accidents as compared with twenty-two for the same month in 1885. February showed substantial improvement, however, with a total of fourteen as compared with twenty-one for Feb- ruary of 1895.
 February weather was stormy and the roads were packed with snow, with dangerous road surfaces gem orally prevailing, particularly in the cities. The snow, however, caused motorists to operate at Q slower speed and prevented pedestrians from "jay-walking" with customary indifference to vehicular trafiic prov- ing in some degree, traffic safe- ty factor.

New Haven Set Up
 Best Traffic Mark
 Of Any State Town
COnneccuts l036 Fatality Total Off to DisCOmaging Start-"Jay-W Walking" Less Due to Ice on Roads

One fatal accident is marked against Waterbury so far this year Co mar an otherwise perfect record it is disclosed today in a 1035-36 comparison released by the state department of motor vehicles. The lone accident charged against the city, according to the summary, was caused by a Waterbury opera tor.
 The fatal accident, which occur red here in January, was caused by an operator from Bristol; but during the same month one Waterbury op- orator was involved in Q fatal acc Cident in Meriden. The accidents spoiled clean slates for both cities.
 New Haven Leads
 New Haven established the best traffic accident experience of any town or city in the state. The re- port adds that New Haven has rec corded less traffic accidents for January and February of this year as compared with the same months last year, but more important, has not been the location of any fatal traffic accidents so far this year, nor has any New Haven operator been involved in any fatal accidents In any other part of the state.
 1935's Figures
 This city has checked against it three fatal accidents for the same period last year, one of them occur ring in January and the others in February.
 The report continues:
 Hartford enjoys the distinction of not reporting any fatal accidents so far this year but the record is marred because Hartford operators were involved in three accidents in January and two in February. Hart ford operators were involved in Jan- uary fatal accidents located in West Hartford, Cheshire and Bristol. Dur- ing February Hartford operators were involved in two fatal accidents in Sufileld.
 Bridgeport reported seven fatal accidents during January but none last month. During January Bridge port operators were involved in one Trumbull fatal accident, one in Stratford and five in their own city. Last month no Bridgeport operator was involved in any fatal accident anywhere.

Opening the March series of Fri- day night Community Forums at the Central "Y", Mrs. Rollin B. Posey of Hartford and H. Eliot Kap- Ian, national secretary of the Na- tional Civil Service Reform league from New York city will discuss the "SpoilS System in Government" to- morrow at 8:15 p. m.
 It is said the Spells System of today is causing great increase in tax rates in the country, and allow ing the different political parties to create machines to control the offl- cial government of our cities and states. To eliminate this a de- termined band of citizens have grouped together to create interest in placing trained persons in the government.
 Increased effort is being made in Connecticut during March. Encour- ed by the trend in this state, with Bridgeport putting her entire city government under civil service and
