Of hostilities. Mussolini will no longer be
content, it Is pointed out. even with the
liberal terms offered him under the
Hoare-Laval plan. He is persuaded that
the situation has changed so materially
that he can dictate a conqueror's peace.
While defeat at Amba Aradam is likely
to affect the Ethiopians' morale, the Fas-
cists' military task is still remote from
accomplishment. Halle Selassie has nu-
merous forces at his disposal besides
those dispersed by Badoglio. Adds Ababa
remains far distant from the zone Of
Italian occupation, even after the latest
advance. Intervening mountainous ter
rain favors defensive operations and
hampers the enemy's ability to maintain
lines of communication with distant sup
ply bases. The Italians have had ample
evidence of Ethiopian bravery, tenacity
and resourcefulness, and realize that con-
tinued victory will be slow and dearly
bought. The admission that Ras Multi
ghetas main army escaped more or less
lnCacI' despite rout ana neaVy losses, OF
itself indicates that Ethiopian resistance
is by no means broken.
Above all, geography and climate are
fighting on Halle Selassie's side. Unless
Badoglio and Graziani between them can
inveigle the Ethiopians into a mass en-
gagement before the big" rainy season
and smash them decisively, the chances
all point to prolongation of the fighting
far into the Summer and Fall, with an
other Winters campaign as the costly
consequence. Notwithstanding the spec
tacular gains just recorded, the Fascists'
rate of progress during the past five
months hardly justifies Rome's rosy
dreams of early and complete subjugation
of the stubborn foe.

Even If this congressional challenge,

only as a figurative prospective pun
ishment, it would be well for one In

sidered for creation as q congressional

the possible congressional belligerents

Again it is perhaps proper to suggest
that If public punishment Is to become

rangement can be made to charge ad-

haps to the national revenues in par

has convinced us that there is NJ real
intention on his part Of harming them.
He Just does 1t to frighten them.
There can be no doubt that squirrel
could catch bird, If he wanted to do 1t,
SO quick is he In his motions, and so
vigorous, and SO sharp his needlelike
teeth.
Often one will see q squirrel in q
feeder, with another one on the ground.
The latter will be surrounded by several
score songsters, all eating in fullest
peace and harmony.
One quick twist, on the part of
squirrel, and he would have dozen birds
at his disposal, but we have yet to see
any such action.
The four squirrels which regularly
patronize our three feeders spent a great
deal Of time chasing each other from
one feeder to another.
In doing this they will make playful
short runs at birds, but in no instance
have we detected any genuine malice.
This Is fortunate, for II 1t were not
so, one would have to give up bird feed
ing altogether.
AS 1t is, the worst we can say about
the squirrels is that they are nuisance
often an amusing nuisance, and some
times a costly one.
Their bright, pert ways of sitting atop
feeding devices, and the many ingenious
poses they assume there, in getting at
the bird food, make up. In some measure
at least, for the fact that one perhaps
would rather not have them around at all.
as far as feeding the birds is concerned.
Such weather as city and suburbs have
experienced since Christmas has added
to the waste which the squirrels cause,
by running through snow, ice and rain
much of the seed which the rodents kick
out Of the feeders to the ground.
In an average dry Winter, all Of this
seed would be consumed by the birds,
but when rain and sleet and slush over
take such layers of food before they can
be cleaned up, such wet grains and seeds
are rendered distasteful to the birds.
This problem is not acute with those
who feed only q few birds, and hence
purchase small amounts of food, but is
a more serious one to those enthusiasts
whose feeders are more literally patron
ized, and who must buy between Is and
so pounds of mixed grains and seeds
per week.
4
Hence the squirrel cannot be looked
upon as an unmixed blessing when it
comes to bird feeding.
He is not bird, and that always makes
one slightly angry at him.
Perhaps a separate box of assorted
nuts (at dollar poundD might keep
him away from the birds food.
Short Of that, however, there is not
much to be done about him.
Perhaps the best thing is to tolerate
him, at the same time realizing that he
is, after all, one Of the real assets of the
suburbs, and an unfailing entertainer of
all persons who possess both a love of
Nature and a sense Of humor.
There is really nothing clownish about
the squirrel. He is a superb comedian,
but his motions are so quick that the
spectator must watch closely, in order
to see how capable he is.

Congressional Training.

Recent happenings in the House of
Representatives suggest that a new de-
partment be added to the legislative
branch of the Government - that OF
physical instruction. In other words,
a gymnasium for the training of muscles
and particularly, as the latest case OF
ruffled temperaments has indicated, in leg
work. When one Of the lawmakers is so
aroused as to promise a kicking match
with critic of his congressional con-
duct it is in order to propose that he go
into training. The feat of booting a
person from one end of Pennsylvania
avenue to the other is rather more Of a
job than the average solon is qualified
to undertake. None but well-trained
athlete would stand up under such
strain for more than block. Further
more, the object of such attentions
would, in all probability, not be alto
gether supine and would show resist
ance, perhaps with resort to fists. The

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

The squirrel, as an active participant
in bird feeding, deserves q note all to
himself.
This mischievous rodent strikes tin
observer as happy, care-free, to a. degree
exemplified by few other animals.
After watching him at the feeders in
tended Solely for birds, one sees in him
an impish something or other rare in
Nature.
He is the pixie, the elf, of the animals.
He is the Peter Pan of the four-legs.
Old or young, male or female, the
squirrel is q perpetual player, an actor
who knows his parts, and acts them to
the best Of his ability, but still never
forgets that it is all make believe.
There have been more maledictions
hurled at squirrels by those interested in
feeding the wild birds than at all other
disturbers.
Not only words are cast In his direc-
ton, but also missiles.
Many an ardent bird fan has spent
hours, literally, attempting to drive
squirrels away from feeders placed in the
garden, only to give 1t up. finally, as
q bad job.
And a useless one.
No matter how many times the rodents
are chased on. they are back again.
It is unnecessary to say that very few
bird lovers will harm squirrels.
One cannot really love Nature, in its
multitudinous forms, without having a
genuine reluctance to kill.
4 ~
He or she who feeds the birds soon
comes to see that squirrels, after all, do
not prevent the songsters from getting
their full share of the seed and grain.
1t comes as surprise to many, on
taking up bird feeding at this time of
year, to find that squirrels will partake
greedily Of such carbohydrates.
Of-hand, one thinks Of them as eating
nuts, and nuts solely, as their main diet,
but actually they will eat almost
anything.
It is not difficult, in such a Winter,
to understand why.
Very low temperatures, around zero,
keep them in their nests, but short of
that mark the squirrels patronize bird
feeders along with the birds.
4 ~
AS we pointed out here some time ago,
these busy rodents in no sense can be
said to be detriment in bird feeding.
If anything, they are help.
This comes about because most of the
birds which will Winter in this vicinity
really prefer to eat off the ground.
This. in turn, is nothing against the
use of feeders.
There are many advantages to the use
of automatic feeding devices, and the
birds patronize them freely and happily.
Where the squirrel shines, however,
when he gets into the trough. tray or
platform Of feeder is in kicking guam
titles of the food to the ground.
The birds, liking to eat from the earth,
simply walk around and peck away to
their hearts content.
Thus the busy rodent, in the trough,
helps the birds while, at the same time,
helping himself.
He sometimes makes rushes at the
birds, but long observation of this act

Italy's Victory.

There seems no reason to doubt that
the Italians have scored a substantial, If
by no means decisive, victory on the
northern front in Ethiopia. Ri1ing his
time until confronted by a considerable
body of the enemy, Marshal Badoglio
struck at an estimated force of $4,000 of
Halle Selassie's warriors commanded by
War Minister Ras Mulugheta and in
hicted upon them an apparently severe
defeat. The Ethiopians at last Italian &C
counts were in full fight southwark after
battle that occupied six days. From the
fact that there was no attempt to hide
or shoot back against fierce Italian bomb
ing attacks from the air, it is concluded
that Mulugheta's army is completely de-
moralized. Rome, at any rate, is indulging
in wild jubilation over a victory that is
said to have cost 10000 Ethiopian dead
and wounded, with Fascist casualties of
mere 1000.
Italy is in mood to deduce that the war
Of stagnation is at last over, and that
simultaneous crushing blows by Badoglio
in the North and Graziani In the South
may now result in relatively speedy ac-
ton designed to establish Italian suprem-
acy and compel the foe to accept a peace
that will fully meet II Duce's demands.
In understandable delight over sudden
successes after months of inconclusive
struggle, Italians already talk about the
stiffened conditions they win demand

Facts Speak for Themselves.

IN spite or the various statements
made on the floor of the House and else
where regarding efforts by Washington
physicians and others to secure addi-
tional funds for public health protec-
tion, the following facts remain uncon-
tested:
/. That while the general death rate
per 1000 population for the United States
is II, it is 1877 in the District of Co.
lumbia; while the infant mortality rate
for the United States is $50, it is 65.3
in the District of Columbia; while the
death rate from tuberculosis is 56.6 for
the United States, it is 123 in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
2. That while public health authorities
agree that development and mainte-
nance of an adequate public health de-
partment is the only way to secure ade-
ouate public health protection and that
minimum standards would require $50
public health nurses in the District, only
tfty-four nurses are at present employed
by the Health Department. Sixty-one
additional nurses in public health work
are employed by the Visiting Nurse So
ciety, supported from private contribu-
tions.
3. That only one other city in the
country with a population of one hun
dred thousand or more has a greater
mortality rate from tuberculosis than
the District of Columbia.
4. That while accepted hospital stand
ards require employment of one gradu-
ate nurse for each ten patients, one pupil
nurse for each five patients and total
hospital personnel of one employe per
patient, there is one graduate nurse for
twenty nine patients at Gallinger; one
pupil nurse for eight patients and one
employe per two patients at Gallinger.
At the Children's Hospital at Glenn Dale
there are twenty nurses for three hun
dred child patients.
5. That lat no time in many years
have the agencies previously referred
TO been granted sufficient working funds
bilities expected of them"
6. That year after year, with increasing
demands in this growing city, we have
had to witness no adequate attempt
TO appropriate in proportion to this
growth"
7. That washington is beautiful
city. It's wide streets, its vistas of trees,
It's public parks are always subject
of favorable comment. Its lack OF in
dustrial hazard should have the effect
of reducing preventable deaths, but, un-
fortunately, this effect is not apparent
IN our death rate. 1t seems that millions
of dollars are available for magnificent
memorials while the people die unneces-
Earily around the bases of these monu-
ments."
8. That in the words of the president
of the Medical Society of the District,
1--WE level no criticism at any official,
group of officials or constituted govern
mental authority. We simply present
these facts, which speak for themselves.
The Medical Society and all the organi-
cations " = represented can no longer
keep silent in the face of a situation
which now constitutes a grave civic
emergency"

There is song of olden time
That brings me gentle glee,
Simple in tune as well as rhyme
"Then You'll Remember Me"

A song Of glory bold
And strive to give him greater praise
Than heroes gained Of old.
Loudly I'll chant "Hail to the Chief"
And if he looks that way
I'll feel a sense of great relief
Upon election day.
And then while votes are coming strong
AS hopeful as can be,
I'll sing to him that good old song,
