replace the outlawed material. In con-
sequence German stamps-especially
those of the nineteenth century-boomed
on the market. Prices rose to heights
hitherto undreamed. Perhaps because
of the excitement collectors who never
before had deigned to notice Teutonic
issues suddenly began to specialize in
them. The psychologist pendulum swung
to the farthest extreme, and what had
been loathed and hated now was loved.
Yet it would be unfair to suppose that
only the philatelic public was guilty
of such inconsistency. Indeed, mankind
at large repeatedly has exercised the
privilege to change its mind. Americans
in 1898 Wed with each other in their
passionate detestation of Spain and
everything Spanish: Americans in 1886
have no fxation of that variety. More
striking even is the reunion Of North
and South, which has been in progress
ever since 1865. The genius of diminu-
tive Shirley Temple recently was matched
with that of Lionel Barrymore in '"The
Little Colonel" film equally popular in
Massachusetts, and Georgia.
And basic justice is served by these
inevitable adjustments. There may be
a certain shock in concessions to truth,
but the experience is good for the soul.

Changing Opinion.

Public opinion is a variable quantity.
It ebbs and flows, never is static. Even
with regard to events of the distant
past, occurrences embalmed in the in
vulnerable amber of history, the verdict
OF humanity alters as the years recede.
Illustrations are numerous. For ex-
ample, during the World War many
philatelists in Great Britain, France
and the United States joined in an
agreement to abstain forever from coll
lecting German stamps. Those who sub
scribed to the covenant unhesitatingly
tore from their albums valuable and
hitherto treasured specimens Of Teu-
tonic origin. Dealers threw their Middle
Europe stocks into the wastebasket. The
publishers of philatelic journals and
catalogues omitted from their pages all
mention of the postal issues of the
enemy. A decade later peace was re-
stored. Then followed panic rush to

as far as Northern India and Egypt in
prehistoric times.
Among the old Virginians students
and teachers showed twice the percent
age of light hair as the soldiers. On
the other hand. the teachers also showed
the greatest percentage of dark hair
and the soldiers least. The color strains
seemed to be more segregated the more
selective the group. Although the old
Virginian women showed four times as
great a number of blonds and near
blonds, the males showed twice the num-
ber of extreme blonds, classified as "gol-
den' and yellow.

Eye colors showed a strikingly differ
ent distribution in respect to sex and
occupation. OF the men, 61.8 per cent
had light eyes, compared with AZ per
cent of the women. Eighteen per cent
of the men had medium eyes and 1876
had dark eyes. The corresponding per-
centages for women were 81 and 26.2.
The old Virginia male strain appears
to have retained considerably better
than the women the light eye strain
in their common ancestry. Medium
blue eyes especially were frequent among
the males.
Among the males-whatever its sig
nificance may be-there were found
about twice as many green-eyed indi-
viduals as among the women.
Light hair of both sexes, he found,
tended to darken with age. This process,
however, was more rapid among the
men-perhaps due to more exposure or
to less care of the hair.

ton and ambitious for designation as
the States favorite son as candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton. This was plainly indicated at the
recent grass roots" gathering at Macon,
where the Talmadge boom was in effect
launched. Now the Roosevelt forces have
made q sudden flank attack. Backed
by the solid congressional delegation,
they have set up Statewide committee
in opposition to the regular Democratic
State Committee and this newly formed
organization has called for test of
strength, in the form of special pri-
mary in Seminole County, a strictly agri-
cultural section, where in 1884 Talmadge
polled 852 votes against ZIG for his two
opponents. This special poll has re-
suited in a vote for Roosevelt's renomi-
nation, 661 to 120. The regular State
committee claims the right under
political law to determine whether dele
gates to the national convention shall
be named at primaries or by direct COM
mittee selection. On the strength of
the informal Seminole County poll it
is urged by the special committee that
primaries will be unnecessary unless the
Talmadge organization forces the issue.
The chairman of the regular State COM
mittee regards the county poll as a
mere straw VOTE" of no validity or
Importance. 1t is, however, significant.
It may mean that the Talmadge boom
has collapsed in the State of its origin.
Inasmuch as the denomination of Mr..
Roosevelt at Philadelphia is regarded as
definitely assured the Georgia revolt
cannot be considered as more than a
flash in the pan. The grass roots seem
to have been blighted by the hard Win
ter, which, politically, has extended to
the Cracker State.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Those who have fed the wild birds all
Winter must now be content to see their
feathered friends more or less depart,
unless cold weather intervenes to keep
them ut the feeding stations a little
longer.
Warmer weather lures the birds to the
wide, open spaces-the woods and the
fields, the ravines and creek banks-any-
where and everywhere sod and shrub
and tree combine to offer the birds per-
fectly fresh tastes Of budding Spring.
This was to be expected.
No more the abundant fiocks of birds
we have had for so long, eager to get
at the seed so bountifully supplied.
No longer the avid procession, bent on
getting the last bite to eat.
The birds have drifted away, one by
one, as warmer days came.
Still beneath tho feeders the sparrows
and the cardinals keep pecking away.
These two are great friends, evidently,
forming one Of the friendships of Nature.
It Is mentioned in the following letter:
Laurel, Md.
Dear Sir: For several weeks I have
been very much interested in the arrival
of the birds at their feeding grounds.
The sparrows chipping, tree and song)
have tied with the cardinals to see which
could get to the grounds first.
Sometimes it would be one and some
times the other. One morning sparrow
came before 1t was light enough to see
to eat.
1T sat perfectly still right by the feed
for five minutes until cardinal arrived,
and they commenced to eat together.
The female cardinal always flies to the
feeder first. The highest number we
have had of the cardinals was 10 at
one time.
"The English sparrows always come
about o'clock or about one-half hour
after the others. In leaving, they always
reversed the order
But for the past three days we have
missed them.
"A few sparrows came on the Gath, less
on the 25th. less on the 26th and this
am. only one chipping sparrow, and he
did not go to eating until a pair of
cardinals came and commenced to eat.
A few of the sparroWs were here through
the past few days, but only the English
came in numbers. The starlings have
even deserted their feeder.
Il suppose they get enough to eat,
now that the ice and snow are nearly
gone.
Some Is or more English sparrows are
now feeding out Of our window, about
10 feet away. They fly up about once a
minute.
Why? think it is nervousness. Our
girls suggest that the birds are setting
the humans on relief an example. AS
soon as they can get living for them
selves they will not accept the dole.
Il have noticed this Winter that the
birds of the same species fight each
other. Very seldom have I seen a star
ling or jay fight other birds, but they
fight among themselves. Three Of the
greatest scrappers have been cardinals,
fighting cardinals; the juncos. fighting
juncos, and the chipping sparrow, fight
ing chipping sparrows. The English
sparrows seldom fight. We wound our
own with look and tone, though we love
our own the best Sincerely, J. p. B."

European Nations Are
''Plotting'' for Peace

From the Asbury Park Evening News.
It is not easy even for the best in
formed to keep track of the various
European agreements developing day by
day. To lovers of peace the disappoint-
ing feature of these agreements, sup
posed to be safeguards against war, is
that they follow the line of old-time
hatreds and tend to repeat some OF the
worlds most dismal history.
England and France led off year ago
with an air pact announcement as a
strengthening of the Locarno agreement.
Great Britain effects an arrangement
pledging most of the Mediterranean
countries to come to her aid If Italy
should attack the British fleet assembled
for protection of British interests in
Africa.
Rumania, Hungary, Yugoslavia ana
Czechoslovakia guarantee military aid to
Austria in the event of German attack.
France is invited to share in this ar
rangement. English and French con-
,ferences following the funeral of King
George are understood to have purposed
STRENGTHENING the anti German front on
the continent.
As q preparation for defense against a
possible Nazi attack agreements are IN
progress between officials of France and
Soviet Russia, with those of Czechoslo-
vakia participating. "The treaty" COM
ments a French high official, "is not
conclusion, but q preface. 1t remains
open to all the states Of Eastern Europe
in accord with their will for peace"
The people of the United States will
remember that some years ago they sent
a President to Europe to give advice on
these matters. His IA points were much
admired. The first of these was:
-sOpen covenants Of peace, openly ar
rived at, after which there shall be no
private international understandings Of
any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed
aIWsvs frankly and In tho public view"

human element in the combination the
plain fact that the things of this world
are loaned us, not given us.
The birds we have fed SO long. now
that Spring is at hand, fly away from
us as If we had never done anything for
them.
It is not ingratitude at all, but simply
Nature.
These little things that futter in our
Wintry gardens and eat our seeds and
grains so avidly are really wild.
They belong not to us, in any real
sense, but simply to the earth.
Our reward for doing good to them is
Just that-doing good to them.
In human relationships we are so ac-
customed to gratitude and ingratitude
that it is difficult to get such ideas out
of our heads.
The birds help us do it.
~
Every few minutes, every minute
really. they have flown up and away into
the shrubs, sure reminder, if we would
accept it, that they are free.
Watch u.s." they seem to say. "We
could fly clear away, if we wanted to,
just as well as these few feet.
And we might not come back at all.
We will return, however. just to show
we are good fellows. Also to eat this
good grub. Heb! Heb! Heh!"
Their friends must be content to lose
them from now on, in sense-in the
sense that they have had them in crowds
all Winter.
How to eat your cake and have it,
too-that is what bird feeding shows,
and 1t is among the very few activities
which do.
For after having the birds all Winter
long we lose them, seemingly, as they
leave for Spring feeding in their imme-
mortal, natural way, only to have them
return in full force, with their serenade
at dawn, within few weeks.
They go but to return.
Their return to our trees is one of the
very greatest reasons for trees.
Communities without trees are unfor-
tunate In more ways than one, but lack
OF wild bird life Is one Of the greatest
losses.
Trees are the Spring and Summer
homes of the birds.
They live in them, nest in them.
They may not eat our food from now
on, put II we nave trees they return al
most at once shortly after they have
given up eating in crowds at the feeders.
Those who have had more than one
feeder in operation will do well to re-
move all except one.
One will be enough from now on, as
the birds return to their natural food
Human activities in the garden will do
great deal toward cutting down on the
use of feeders
If a self-feeder is left it should be
kept supplied with food and be pref
erably in location where there is not
so much activity.
Also, it might do better in place
where the constant pecking of the birds
will not ruin tulip and peony and other
shoots about to rise into the light.
While frost was on the ground nothing
could be hurt by claw and bill, but from
now on 1t is questionable whether these
will aid garden growth.
So remove the feeder, If one is kept,
to spot where little damage will result.
Rest assured that some birds will find it.

A Rhyme at Twilight

Honorary Member.

In a decade as mellow
AS kid gloves of yellow
He was known to the town
As a very good fellow.
Diplomatic and witty,
Versed in ripe talk and ditty,
His club chair was famed
In the haunts of the city.
In his passing. he parried
Extinction. And tarried
In fame if not flesh
BY endowment: that carried
His club chair of leather -
In good and had weather
His ghost occupies it
Whers men lounge together.

Misguiding Assurances.
There's just one man truly fear,
And he is not so brave.
If as foeman he'd appear.
Myself I'd hope to save.
It is the person who compels
An utter sense of woe;
The man who confidently tells
The things he doesn't know.
He mentions how to cure a cold
And which way to invest,
How my expense can be controlled
And what will cure unrest.
My patience holds and neer rebels,
AS plodding on I go,
I only dread the man who tells
The things he doesn't know.
He brings an hour of gentle bliss,
The whole earth seems to bloom
While he's explaining that or this
And next I'm left in gloom.
Where he predicted fragrant dells
I'm forced to shovel snow.
I tremble at the man who tells
The things he doesn't know.

West Virginia Democrats, having sent
one Senator to Washington before he
reached the constitutional age for Sem
ators of the United States-30 years-are
now talking of electing another and even
younger Senator. That is, some of the
West Virginia Democrats are discussing
the matter. Senator Nicely, Democratic
leader in the State, Is up for reelection
this year. It would be tough job, in
deed, to defeat the Senator for renom-
ination and for reelection later. Yet
there is a young Democratic David rush.
ing out to contest with Neely-a 28-year-
old youth, John Woodbridge Bosworth.
Bosworth will be 80 years old in August,
1887. Congress meets January 3, 1887,
after the election of Senator. The
Young man would. have to stand aside,
as did Senator Rush Holt, who was
elected to the Senate when he was 20
years old, and wait until he was 80.
Holt, once the firm ally of Nicely, had
opened an attack on the w. p. A. as
administered in West Virginia and upon
the senior Senator from West Virginia,
who happens to be 81 years old. How far
this youth movement is going In the
State remains to be seen. It looks, how
ever. as though It will have to travel q
long way to beat Nicely, who has the
support of organized labor, the veterans
of the World War and other groups.
Nicely is great campaigner. If there
are Democratic defections, or If the Re-
publican tide is running strongly in the
State the f9oht NAV be too hard for
Nicely to survive. At present there Is
much talk Of rising resentment against
the New Deal In West virginia.
