Latin American Debts.

Secretary Hull recently suggested to
a distinguished transatlantic visitor
that Old World governments would do
we'll to take leaf out of the Pam
American note book and bury the
political and economic differences which
keep Europe in turmoil and are largely
responsible for its remaining an armed
camp. What the State Department chief
had in mind was the success of the
American republics at Buenos Aires in
evolving ways and means for pooling
their interests and obliterating condi-
tions that breed strife. Latin American
governments, or at least a representa-
tive section of them, are setting the
United States European war debtors yet
another example. They are giving seri-
GUS attention to proposals designed to
re-establish their credit by adjusting
long standing defaults on their dollar
bonded Indebtedness.
Negotiations to this end are under
way or in contemplation with Cuba,
Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.
Later discussions are in prospect with
Brazil. Argentina has set proud ex-
ample to all Latin America by maintain
ing payments on her external debt,
despite enormous difficulties and even
at the height of the depression. Ar
gentine credit in consequence is high
in both London and New York Recent
refunding operations, made possible by
that circumstance, are the envy of many
countries in both hemispheres. Un-
fortunately, other South American re-
publics, whose obligations in the United
States are In chronic arrears, have ~

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

More than half ton Of seeds and
grains and many days spent In helping
the BIRDS had their just reward the
other morning, when a delegation of
songsters stepped forward to greet
Templeton Jones as he descended the
steps Of his home on the way to work.
First came pair of catbirds, sleek
and happy in the fresh air of 7 am.
They found something very intriguing
to eat in the grass beneath large
spirea bush.
Jones called to them, with his best
imitation of the drawn-out NEW of the
species. He half expected this to
frighten both birds away, but evidently
they were too busy.
His imitation did not scare them in
the least. If it did anything, it served
to attract the attention Of the song
sters, which came a little nearer
Pleased by this manifestation of
friendly interest, Templeton Jones
walked bit closer.
The catbirds were not perturbed in
the least. They kept on hopping around,
eating in the grass, now and then cram
ing their necks, in that semi-absurd but
have OF felicitating themselves.
AS these were the first of the species
to be seen in the Jones yard this year,
they were more than welcomed, for truly
there is no finer bird than the catbird.
In sickness, grace and general in
terest, it is very fine songster; and its
song, above all, is far more than the
tol, <x3,
name.
Few birds, rightly heard, have any
more to offer by way of variety. Many
of the brilliant songs heard from trees
and shrubs in suburban and country
districts come from the catbird, rather
than the mockingbird, which often gets
the credit.
Jones always had been fond Of the cat
bird, but this was as close as he ever
had got to pair of them.
He felt especially pleased that they
did not fly away at his approach Now
he was within 10 feet OF them still they
stood their ground.
This was to be morning of surprises,
however.
Two English sparrows lit on the lawn
In front OF him.
Friendly enough in the downtown sec
tions, these birds seem rather timorous
in the country, often flying up from
feeding stations at the slightest sound
OF opening door,
To those familiar with these birds
only as city gamins of bird life, this
country timidity will seem rather
strange.
Downtown English sparrows often per-
NIT passersby to walk within foot of
them. As they fight for subsistence.
Their bravery there is a matter of
necessity.
Through generations they have be-
come so used to fighting for their food
in the streets that they know nothing
else.
Let band Of these birds take to the
suburbs, however, and they shortly tend
to revert to their original ways in the
English countryside. 1t must not be
forgotten that, although a city bird over
there. the entire island is not very large,
and these birds are found in the country
as well as towns and cities.

Objection to Daylight
Saving in Washington

To the Editor Of The Star:
May be permitted to register objec-
tion to the proposed daylight saving
time?
Having talked to several people re-
garding the daylight saving time plan
and having found every one of them
opposed to it and having lived in city
in which it was tried and discontinued
upon city-Wide vote, I believe that a
majority of the people do not want it. 1t
may be true that the chambers of COM
merce, social clubs, golf clubs and other
like organizations favor moving the
clock up an hour, but we who have to
do the work of the Nation will be forced
to lose one hour of sleep each day.
The evenings of the Summer are too
hot to sleep before 10 O'Clock, which
would be IL o'clock under nut time, "
thus no one could get any rest by retir-
ing an hour earlier; yet we would be
forced to rise at 4:30 of morning in
stead of at $50, as we now must do in
order to arrive on the job at am. Our
work day would be started at 6 o'clock
and end at o'clock even though the
clocks called it am. to pm.
The false time would merely act to
deprive us of an hour of sleep in the
early morning when everything is quiet
and cool and give us an hour more of
time in the evening when it's too hot
to sleep.
In city in which the writer resided
at the time, the Young Mems Business
Club started campaign for daylight
saving The daily papers took it up,
the chamber of commerce joined and
so did several other clubs. The City
Council then, at the request of these
organizations, enacted city ordinance
to move up the clock and it went into
action only to meet the opposition of a
young attorney who sued for an in
junction and demanded a city-wide vote.
He won and the vote was called and the
, daylight saving" time plan lost BY an
overwhelming majority.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Pride of Possession.
You must admit, if you will trace
The worlds historic scheme,
That favoritism has place
In every mortal scheme
He was watch dog, so we said;
That pup with spongy feet.
He'd let you pat him on the head
And bring him things to eat.
He'd watch rat hole by the hour
And with the rat in sight
He'd keep on watching. But his pow r
To hypnotic was slight.
He'd watch the chicken coop with care
And when a midnight guest
Claimed all the poultry that was there,
He watched with interest.
He watched burglar who, one night
Appeared with nerve immense.
His silent wonder at the sight
Showed great intelligence.
He is watch dog and he gets
The best of care each day,
Nor heeds the jeering or the threats
The neighbors toss his way.
A gentle egotism reigns
Throughout all human kind.
The thing that you possess remains
Apart and all refined.
So, be you dull or be you wise
AS through this world you jog,
You'll find that any dogs prize,
Provided he's Your Dog.

HOLLYWOOD, April 27.-Shirley Temple, Queen of the Moppets, was eight years old on April 23. She makes three movies year, endorses commercial products, and she rakes in an income variously estimated from s500,000 to nearly a million a year.
 Shirley is tops in box-office pop ularity among all the movie stars. Other producers know that Dar- ryl Zanuck of Twentieth Century has that prize package neatly sewed up, but
 Hollywood is looking for another Shirley. Just any little girl will do-any little girl who can take the collective heart of the movie fans and do what Shirley did with it.
 Fortune From Advertisers
 With Shirley rapidly outgrowing the moppet class, the quest is keen CT than ever. Hollywood wants an- other little girl to whom it can pay fortune, to whom advertisers will gladly pay another fortune for her name Shirley reputedly paid her income tax with proceeds of tie ups" with little girls clothing, books, dolls, jewelry, gloves, pen- and pencil set-in all about two dozen articles).
 Shirley was only three when she started, inconspicuously, in comedy shorts. She was making $50 week, and SIS when she made her first picture, Stand Up and Cheer" The studio lent her to Paramount for S1,OO0 a week for Little Miss Mar kor" Then Mrs. Temple demanded the "big money"
 There are potential Temples in Hollywood now. making $50 to $75, or little more.
