THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

There are some diseases which may be
caused by mouldy grain, and seeds In
which the oil content has increased too
largely, but these are not common, and
need not concern the amateur friend Of
birds. We will leave that to the profess
sionals.
Robins are supposed to be up in the
preparatory to q return to the Southern
States.
They will be coming through on their
way back almost any time now, usually
in small bands Of rs to 50.
This Is one Of the most unusual bird
sights In = small garden, and we urge
homeowners to be on . watch for 1t
from now on.
Last year Is robins swooped down on
the lawn at 4 o'clock one afternoon In
early September.
This was q sight, but 1t did not last
long. If we had not been fortunate, we
would never have seen 1t, since all the
birds departed in from is to 80 minutes.
They spread themselves out in skirm-
ishing fashion and thoroughly combed
the grass for food before they left.
No more robins we're seen In this yard
until almost the last day OF September
1880, when exactly 50 alighted one
afternoon at about the same time and
spread out In similar deploying move
ment.
Whether these birds were ones which
had spent the Summer here or had
banded together farther to the North for
the trip South We do hot know. We be-
lieve the latter was the case.
Persons interested in birds may feel
pretty safe about feeding these creatures
any good food which they would eat
themselves.
The birds may or may not eat it, but
II they do 1t will not harm them.
Seeds, grains, nuts and other things
commonly put out for hard billed birds,
including breadstuf1s Of all kinds, are
good chuck" for most OF our Winter
guests.
Cracked corn seems to 60 over "big"
with sparrows and others, including the
many pigeons which are unlimited guests
at most feeding stations
There is real sport in trying the birds
out on different foods, and determining
which they prefer. and ALSO rather
important point-whether one can afford
to give 1t to them.
10 Bluejays seem to be particularly fond
OF peanuts.
We will never forget the sight at one
OF our feeders last Winter, when half
a dozen jays found several pounds Of
raw peanuts, unshelled, in their favorite
feeder.
This little band had the habit Of COM
ing to the feeder every morning and
staying about Is minutes only
This morning they remained half an
hour. gorging themselves on what was
to them a real delicacy.
They had worked their way through
half the peanuts, when q squirrel ar
rived and decided to hide the rest. This
he did. putting each peanut in q sepa-
rate cache in the yard, at the same time
keeping the jays away.
Some Of the more expensive wildbird
feeds contain raw peanuts ground up.
They give the mixture 4 most delicious

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

Two questions loom large on the polit-
ical horizon, as viewed by observers here.
One is whether an attempt will be made
by the Democrats at party purge" in
order to bring about a more harmonious
lineup than existed at the last session
Of Congress on what has been described
as the second New Deal program. The
other is the question as to whether
President Roosevelt is ambitious to Sc
cure for himself third term. To neither
Of these questions can an answer be
given at present. Numerous attempts
have been made during recent months
to smoke out" the President on the
third term proposition, but his re-
sponses have been as non on-committal as
Sphinxlike silence. The other question
is governed by problems of broad polit-
ical policy. While admitting freely that
the breach caused primarily by the
heated controversy over the Supreme
Court issue, with other contributing fac
tors, may preclude unit such as existed
previously. nevertheless party leaders are
reported as fearful of taking any step
which might lead to further widening
OF the gap For this reason political
circles here look for nothing immediate,
certainly nothing drastic, in this direc-
ton.
Varying reports have reached Wash
ington since Congress adjourned as to
the manner in which members have been
received back home" as result Of their
stand on various measures, particularly
the Supreme Court and the wages and

of the Nations reaction to these sub
jects. In spite of some reports to the
effect that members III certain sections
met with rather cool reception" due
to their opposition to administration
measures, well-informed sources point
to numerous reports of contradictory
character. In the meantime the Cham
Der OF Commerce OF the United States in
viewing the outlook declares that 1t is
"foregone conclusion" that ''the heated
battles over controversial legislation
which broke out in the recent session will
be resumed with even greater intensity
when Congress reconvenes." During the
brief recess period, 1t is asserted, both
proponents and opponents will be oon-

disasters and the investigation by the

Listen to the old typewriter!

Like the brook that runs forever.

Never pausing in its chatter.

Reused by pessimistic humors.
How serenely day by day,
1t goes Gathering on its way!
Now friend and next q fighter,
Listen to the old typewriter!
Everything is to its liking.
Never says a word Of striking.
Not a blowout, not a puncture
Stays its course at any juncture.

Then disproves 1t just as easy.
All existence moves along
To the old typewriter's song.
