Hungary's Debt.

Qualification at the decision of Hun
gary to resume payment of her postwar
debt, if only in part of what is due, is
undisguised among the American people
and their leaders, who believe that other
defaulting nations might well follow the
example of Budapest.
1t makes no difference that Hungary
finds herself able to pay only some few
thousands Of dollars. The precedent she
sets as the first of the debtor nations to
break the f1ve-year default should in
spire some others, in manifestly better
condition, to undertake also a liquida-
ton Of their obligations that grew out
of Americas assistance during and after
the war.
Few issues between the United States
and Europe have been 30 productive Of
ul-feeling and recrimination. There have
been misunderstanding on both sides:
misconception by Europe Of the sacri-
nces by Americans that enabled their
government to lend billions for war: dis
regard by Americans Of the evident In
ability Of European nations to pay all
that they borrowed. Between the two
lies possibility for compromise based
upon mutual yielding Of viewpoint.

dramatization Of the news, nobody
doubts, is largely make-believe clap
trap. Nine-tenths Of 4 days program

officials of the networks are not boiled
in oil nor entombed alive for their de-
ceptions.
In Russia, however, it is different. A
school teacher and Mahommedan
priest recently were executed by firing
squad for telling fables to children. The
victims appealed for mercy in vain. BY
due process of law they were incon-
tinently shot for tampering with stark
reality. Such is the Soviet practice. But
the rest of the world need not despair.
The time will come, almost certainly,
when the most monstrous myth of all
the thing called Communism-will be de-
bunked. AS the supreme misrepresenta-
ton of the Twentieth Century, it is
assuredly destined to collapse-maybe

CHEVY CHASE, Md.

ACdA 6u
Your articles on birds and flowers we
md very interesting and we enjoy them
I'VE are wondering whether you have
found that the birls like melon seeds?
Il save our watermelon and cantaloupe
seeds every day and give to the birds
and they seem to be considered very
choice by our redbirds.
The redbirds and sparrows eat very
amicably side by side the usual seeds
we put out, but the sparrows are prompt
ly driven of by the redbirds when the
melon seeds are given them.
Our especial family, father, mother
and two children, will not allow visiting
redbirds to have their melon seeds. Yours
truly, E. B. r."
All birds like such special feeds, which
often, as in the above case, can be Sc
cured for them at no extra cost.
This column has advocated, from time
to time, the use of the cleaner bits of
garbage as food for the wild birds.
Melon seeds of various sorts are an
interesting example of this good salvage.
They are easily taken from the melons
at the time of eating, they dry quickly,
are conveniently saved, and are clean to
handle.
Most seed-eating birds appreciate such
tid-bits.
A seed is a seed, wherever it is found;
there is not much difference, after all,
between a sunflower seed and a water
melon seed, in one respect, though a
world of difference In another.
There are great many odds and ends
OF foodstuffs which may be used for
bird feeding.
Sometimes boxes of breakfast food
"go bad"
The birds do not mind few weevils-
in fact, they probably enjoy the latter
more than the foods, and get more good
out of them, too.
Bits OF bread, biscuit, and buns are
excellent, as well as pieces OF meat, now
and then. Some of the bird feeding sta
tions on the market provide a hook for
the latter, but we feel that there Is
danger of the guests hurting themselves
on them. We have found it expedient to
remove such hooks. Typical meat-eating
birds are not altogether desirable guests
at feeding platforms, but many of the
birds which Winter here will eat bits Of
meat occasionally.
Seeds and grains offered In typical
"wildbird feed" mixtures will continue
to furnish the bulk Of foods used for
this purpose.
Seeding eating birds, which comprise
practically all those Wintering here
abouts, find in such feeds plenty OF
nourishment. Just how much pleasure
they get out OF taste must remain a
question Usually such food is very dry,
and there is not much sheer taste en-
joymeAt in dry foods. Yet aquarium
fishes will live fat and contented for
years on perfectly dry foods, which they
gobble up so quickly from the surface
OF the water that it does not have a
chance to absorb water Fishes so fed
will spawn and have perfect young on
such foods. so they must be good
Sunfiower seed, we believe. is the per-
feet food for most of the birds which
remain here with us from now on. 1t
is, particular, the favorite of the redbird,
or cardinal. but is also eaten with gusto
by many others. 1t is cracked, and the

Said Hezekiah Bings,
In spite Of all the doubt and fear
That life before us filings.
The same old stars shine In the sky.
The same old breezes blow,
The same old ripples wander by
Beneath the moonbeams glow.
Though men made comedy too mad
And pathos too long drawn,
The same old laughter echoes glad;
The same old tears now on.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

husk discarded, only the nutritious inner
part being eaten. But this portion, Of
course, contains all the good which Ma
ture put into the seed. No doubt 1t
contains some Of the precious vitamins,
although the sheer carbohydrate in 1t
Is what gives the birds the warmth they
seek.
Wherefore we advocate the 1atten-
ing" Of any bird seed mixture with 4
little extra added sunflower seed to each
batch put into the feeding station, even
If the mixture already contains some
sunfiower.
Every little bit, added to what you
got, makes just little bit more" 80
went the old popular song. Its philoso-
ply applies perfectly here.
Cracked corn, oats, millet, rape-these
are four Of the dozen or more ingredients
used in an average seed mixture sold for
feeding the songsters in cold weather.
The last Of these four might as well
be left out, from our observation; most
of the birds will not eat rape seed, and
1t is commonly found in 4 layer at the
bottom of the feeder platform. Canadian
peas are not relished by most of the
smaller birds. They are intended for
quail and the like, which do not frequent
Winter
Peanuts, cookies, doughnuts-here are
three more good foods for the birds.
The first are especially liked by the
bluejays, but other birds will eat them
Squirrels, OF course, demand their
share, often burying them, never to be
found again, we feel sure.
What with the pigeons coming for
their part in the feast, there is bound
to be great deal Of waste in garden bird
feeding.
Waste, of course, from the standpoint
of the wild birds
The pigeons, we feel sure. would call
the food they consumed wisely and most
properly used.
Many people have found the so-called
baby chick food a very satisfactory
Offering
Even the more finicky of our songsters
will eat 1t, If they have to, and seem
to thrive upon it.
AS for the members Of the great SPAR
row clan. they ask nothing better. Its
drawback is that 1t is excellent pigeon
food and will attract them for miles
around.
1t is still about the cheapest food which
may be purchased. When q 25-pound
bag is used every week. this Is no incon-
siderable item. 1t Is best purchased in
one hundred-pound bags.
With the addition Of little sunflower
seed to this, 4 good mixture Is secured
1t is an interesting experiment to try
supplementing such food with the better
scraps saved from the table.
AS our correspondent has found, and
many another, melon seed Is widely
relished. and makes = good addition.
Old annual plants, which have set seed,
may be left in the garden over Winter.
1t is true that they will harbor some
insects, but these too, are food for birds.
Many things are food for birds. The
best way is to try many, and see for
yourself which they eat and which they
do not. Their preference may be known
by the speed with which they consume
a given item. suet for instance. while
a widely acclaimed food, has always gone
begging on our feeders.
