Her Prophecy Fails
When He Avoids Jail

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 G.N.S0
John P. Arnold, %, self-styled
amateur gypsy" approached a
lady in a tea room and offered to
read her palm for 81. She con-
sented and Arnold, studying her
palm with a glass, predicted she
would lead a long life, acquire a
fortune and go to Europe.
"You are going to have a
change of residence" he con-
cluded.
80 are you," said the lady, who
turned out to be Policewoman
Grace E. Hannah. She promptly
handed him a warrant.
The lady'S prediction appeared
to be coming true in night court
when Arnold was given 10 days in
Jail, but he paid a $50 fine instead.

Sane, Sensible C Compromise.

The tentative compromise agreement
OF the conferees on the red rider repeater
should satisfy everybody. It provides
method of gaining the chief objective
which is outright repeal of the rider
without leaving room for possible inter-
probation of such repeal as a gesture in
conformation of the advocacy OF COM
munism. The fear of such an interpre-
tation actuated the House in its passage
of the so-called substitute pink rider"
which is as Objectionable as the red rider.
The proposal to write into the repeater
legislation clause to the effect that
such repeal Is not to be construed as
conformation of the advocacy of COM
munism should meet all objections.
The sense of the proposed compromise
is distinctly in line with the policy Of
the Board of Education, which has been
no less vigorous in its denunciation Of
communism than in its demand-backed
by a healthy majority of Washington
citizens-that the red rider be repealed.
Such q compromise doubtless will lead

for the conciliation of exponent details.

that gasoline taxes in the District would
be diverted to other uses than road
building. But is not this the height of
bitter irony? Who would divert the gas
tax revenues? Certainly not the people
OF the District, who have no voice what
ever in raising or spending their taxes
ana who are heartily opposed to diver
sion. The diversion, If it were authorized,
would be authorized only by the same
Congress which now threatens to deny
participation in road building grants be-
cause diversion may be authorized.
This unjust anomaly will not appeal to
the sense OF justice of man like Repre-
sentative Cartwright, chairman Of the
Roads Committee.
Evening star., 1937-05-14
Inequitable Deprivation.

In justice to the people OF the District
the House Roads Committee should re-
consider its action of laying on the
table the Cartwright bill, extending to
the District of Columbia a share in
the distribution of highway aid funds.
1t is hard to believe that this COM
mittee will permit the death by pigeon
holing of measure which passed the
Senate without dissenting vote and
which merely extends to the District
privilege now enjoyed by every other
political jurisdiction ins the United
States.
Under this bill the District would
share on the same basis as the States and
Territories in the distribution of $685.
100000 for Federal-aid highways. The
Districts proportional receipts would
amount to about $60e, 900. which, as in the
States, would be matched by locally de-
rived revenue. There is no question of
the need. The District is soon to assume
additional tax burdens to carry forward
a highway improvement program in
which the United States should, but will
not, share a penny, and which is de-
manded largely by the needs of the con-
trolling National Government.
Equity demands that the District be
included in the distribution Of funds to
which it contributes in the payment OF
Federal taxes. That equity was recog-
nized during the emergency road-aid
appropriations OF the depression years.
It has been recognized by the Senate
and by all Federal officials concerned
with road fund expenditure.
It is reported that one reason for
the postponement OF action on the bill
is the fear by some committee members

An Ugly Possibility.

DlsQuletlng word arrives from Canadp
that the acrimonious situation provoked
by the recent controversy between John
L. Lewis Committee for Industrial Or
ganization and the Ontario government
may develop into grave political issue
throughout the Dominion. Responsible
leaders Of public opinion are already
comparing the conditions which have
arisen to the factors that led to the anti
reciprocity campaign of 1911 and men
aced Canadian-American relations OF
that era. Fears are openly expressed
that c. I. O. efforts to obtain foothold
in Canadian industry, along lines sug-
gested by its activities in the General
Motors strike at Oshawa, are generating
an atmosphere that calls for prompt at
tention not only by the Canadian au-
thorities, but by business and political
leaders.
The direction in which matters are
drifting is epitomized by the Montreal
Gazette. THE Canadian people by an
overwhelming vote twenty six years ago"
it says, rejected reciprocity with the
United States because they feared Amer
ican commercial and economic domina-
tion, and perhaps political domination.
1t is just as necessary. and possibly the
necessity now is even greater, to resist
domination of Canadian labor and in
dustry by political labor organization
operating from the United States. For
eign domination was not threatened
openly in the trade pact OF 1911. 1t is
threatened openly in 1897"
There is equally plain speaking by the
Financial Post, influential organ of
Canadian finance and industry. It re-
marked recently that there was grave
danger Of the Lewis organization "be-
coming political dictatorship domiciled
in the United States, but seeking to
spread its power over both that country
and Canada" Premier Hepburn OF On
tario, who stubbornly resisted the c. I. O.
in the Oshawa conflict, in an interview
in the Financial Post, suggested the pos
sibility that c. I. O., with tentacles
extending across the border and with
authority to create labor disturbances
in the Dominion, might conceivably some
day attempt to put Canadian industry
at a disadvantage with its competitors
in export markets. Emissaries from To-
ronto have recently been in Montreal,
preaching to Quebec business leaders the
necessity Of aligning themselves with On
tario industrialists against any conces-
sions to Mr.. Lewis and his associates
Premier Hepburn and Quebec Premier
Duplessis have publicly Endorsed each
others anti-C. I. o. policies, and news
papers in both provinces are urging that
the federal government take a CORE
spending position.
1t is plain, from these early rumblings,
that the ambitions Of labor leaders in
this country to conquer new fields pre-
sent the ugly possibility of international
complications. Whatever the economic
merits of their case may be, it would
be a thousand pities If the prosecution
OF 1t were to cause rift in the cordial
bond between the neighboring North
American democracies.

enunciation OF this policy, which Is
clearly enough understood by the teach
ers and the community but which under
the circumstances may well be given
formal expression.
Congress will do good days work in
agreeing to this sensible way out of the
red rider snarl and wipe the slate clean
of an annoying, ambiguous and unneces-
sary bit Of legislation that a clear ma
jority in House and Senate agrees should
never have been enacted in the first

The Handsome Stranger.
We think we know just where we are
In all our patriot glory.
Some diplomat comes from afar
And tells another story.
OF course, we love our old-time friends.
Amid youths song and laughter
We pledge devotion that extends
Into the far hereafter.
Their pictures, cherished with great care,
We take them out and dust them;
But in a serious affair
We hesitate to trust them.
You scorn, when you are taken i'll
The chap you knew at college.
You'd rather buy phoney pill
From one Of far less knowledge.

And runs off with drummer;

Before the end Of Summer.
Oh, let us ponder our way,
So oft beset by danger.
And heed the motto from the play,
Beware the handsome stranger"

plAn?" a wise old bird seems to be asking.
He must have had something up his
sleeve, he must have been trying to
put something over on you. We eat
all the time, little at a time, Just
like our friends, the monkeys, and we
are in perfect health. Stomachs were
made for digestion, not indigestion If
much eating gives you creatures indi-

Bird music at the close OF the day
is sweeter, even. than in the dawning,
because it is just bit softer, and there
are fewer voices.
Whereas in the morning, as the birds
wake up, the sounds become clogged.
one with another, as each bird fairly
shrieks to the welcome Of light in the
cleaning there is such subdued mur-
murings as befit the sleepy time.
Which reminds US, all irreverently, Of
the tiny girl who was going out Con-
necticut avenue one hot Summer after
noon.
Finally, she nodded, and nodded
An arch old lady, beaming, leaned
forward.

DEAR" she cooed. You are going to
Sleepytown!"
The little girl gave her look Of
great disapproval.
I'm going to Chevy Chase" she said.
The tolls Of the day are over.
The incessant flying about. the warn
ing and constant calls and cries, the
songs sung from sheer spirits, are now
things Of the past, as gone forever as
Caesar and his train.
The birds in our trees are about to
begin new phase, as old as the hills,
but as new, too.
The time has come to sleep, and so
they sleep, but just before that there
Is a little space for warbling.
Goodnight.
Had these creatures the minds and
abilities to create lights. and string
them in their trees, might they not
have might life" of their own?
Some one says that in certain we'll
uL parks LNe WOCklnSDlTOS raise cam
all night long, preventing sound sleep
for sensitive city dWellers who are not
used to bird songs.
Often these particular songsters sing
all night long, anyway, and it is pos
sible that group of them, stimulated
by unnatural light at the wrong time
OF the "A hours, would keep the air so
humming that sleep for humans might
be prevented.
In the main, however, mankind has
no such "kick" to make of the birds.
Indeed, it is the songsters which in all
justice, might complain against man
for keeping the air filled with the fumes
Of gasoline, and failing to abide by the
universal decree of night for sleep, day
for activity.
Out our way, the thrush, the cardinal,
and the robin are the latest singers, as
they are the first in the morning
1t is an interesting diversion to try
to catch the very last note, from which
bird it is difficult to say.
Probably thrush, beautiful bird OF
evening, whose melody becomes softer
and softer as the light grows dim.
Cheer-a-lee! See you tomorrow.

Time of day the birds like best is the
period often preferred by their watchers,
too, which somehow Is a highly pleasing
coincidence.
Dusk it is, with the fragrance OF lilacs
In the air, end the sound OF those many
voices from the nearby trees.
No time of day so delights wood
thrush or robin or cardinal, or those
soft-throated sparrows which warble
and twitter in the leaves.
Not even the early morning, when
light streaks rosily across the sky, and
the birds wake up to a new day.
AS glorious as first light Is to bird,
there is something about twilight 1t
likes better, we are convinced, after
much watching and listening.
One must watch birds with ears as
we'll as eyes, of course.
Good ears are as essential to this quiet
sport as good eyes.
Ears are faithful old organs, with
many, not so good for others. No doubt
many persons are regarded as 1mpolite,
inattentive, discourteous, when all the
time they simply do not hear.
The ear has this misfortune, that 1t
shows nothing externally when 1t goes
wrong.
Often it doesn't even hurt. That old
red warning flag of the physical being is
lacking.
When something gets the matter with
the eyes, plain and unmistakable out
ward symbols herald 1t for all to see.
The eyes may get red and stay that
way but the ears, never When they
color up, 1t is merely the result Of q
husband who bushes nowadays?
~ 4 y
The bird observer with average good
ears has much the best OF 1t, for nothing
about a bird is better than It's song.
Coloration and song-the first seen
with the eyes, and the second heard by
upon human watcher through action
of organs of sense upon the brain, and
the reaction therefrom.
It requires much watching and listen
ing to be sure that birds like dusk even
better than dawn. In the latter they
are glad to be up and during the former
they are supremely happy to be going
to bed.
No grumbling among the birds. Their
happy chatter in the twilight is cer-
tainly true outpouring OF Thanksgiving
that another day has ended for them
and that another day will dawn for
them after a precious interlude.

There is perfectly natural life, the life
OF birds.
Listening to them, one may feel quite
sure that they are wise in their day, and
put to shame the little lesser knowledge
Of many humans, who profess to believe
that sleep is somehow time lost.
Sleep is one of the necessities and in
evitables Of life. Those who pretend tc
ignore it as much as they can are fooling
themselves, and trying to fool others.
Observe such persons carefully. They
almost always make up their sleep
afterwards! Those who actually do not
often come down with illness later on
then wonder 'how they got it."
Birds have been setting good examples
in the matter OF sleep for centuries. but
man always thinks he knows better.
Birds have been trying to tell us some
thing else, too. to eat all thestime, not

Indian Lore.
AS the suns rays are dying,
And hushed the sweet bird songs
Night insects not yet gathered
In humming, noisy throngs;
When over quiet roadways
A crescent moon hangs low,
Seeming to tip a fir tree,
In ladder-reach to glow;
an old redskin would tell you
To hang a powder horn
On the moons bow of silver
And dry months will be born.
If the new moon tipped upward
To hold the horn 1t meant
That 1t would hold rain water.
