Electric Bond & Share.
3. Acceptance-and in this case
secretary of interior Harold L.
Ickes had requested a refusal
of an appeal by Two utilities from
lower court decisions upholding
constitutionality of the Public
Works Administrations loans and
grants to municipalities for lower
plants.
To Test Gold Clause
In addition the court accepted
a new gold clause issue raised by
Robert A. Taft, son of The late
president and chief justice. In
two cases, Taft challenged the
governments right to refuse 30
pay interest on gold clause bonds
called for redemption.
IckeS asked rejection of the
PWA power grant appeal because
with $Wo lower court decisions in
his favor he could have gone
ahead with Sc projects now tied
up awaiting outcome of the liti-
CATION. Acceptance of the issue,
however, promised a supreme
court decision early next term.
Heard Eventually
Rejection of the other TWO
power issues does noS settle them,
however, as they will reach the
court eventually.
The final meeting of the court
which became the center of an
historic fight between the presi-
dent and congress over its funC-

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A Florida galllnule, member OF the
rail and coos families, far of its beaten
track, fell dead the other morning in a
Washington garden.
The finder was much mystifed by the
stranger, bird about II inches long
from tip OF red bill to end of tail.
1t was dark slate in color, with green
legs, but its distinguishing feature was
the red bill, rising to frontal plate.
also red.
What was the bird?
Identification always Is interesting.
Just how may bird be identified?
Often this search is as interesting, in
itself, as the pleasure Of knowing the
proper name and habits Of a feathered
stranger.
The gallinule described above was
identified within few minutes, and
3his is how it was done:
The family that discovered it, in the
dewy morning, called this writer over
the telephone.
He, having never seen a gallinule, nor
ever heard Of one, was unable to name
the bird.
He suggested that the Biological Sur
vey should be called
They should know.
Sure enough, they did!
From the description given, an orno-
thologist told the family he would be
inclined to believe the bird to be the
Florida gallinule, whose scientific name
is Gallinula galeata.
X y
The name was looked up in an en-
cyclopedia, and, as far as the readers
could be sure, their bird fitted the de-
scription, which, however, was none too
full.
Some doubt remained.
The family called this writer again,
and he, by aid of Birds of America"
tthe one-volume edition., was able to
complete the identification.
The general and color description
especially put the matter beyond doubt.
The work contains two black and white
pictures OF the gallinule, one a photo
graph showing the mother bird turning
its eggs in the nest, and another q draw
ing OF the bird walking in a marsh.
There also is color plate OF the
gallinule.
Now, the point OF the above is this,
as ar as home identification goes:
The amateur bird observer must have
some help.
Given that, SO that the right approach
IS made. it is easy enough to find the
bird sought.
The Biological Survey, through first
hand knowledge, was able to put the
family on the right track at once.
Even had this family been possessed
OF the work mentioned, whose three
volumes recently were compressed into
one, there was every chance that the
right bird might not have been found.
With the right name, the full identifi-
cation was easy enough.

burgs sensational and decisive victory
was won.
Senator Gibson, Republican, OF Ver-
mont proudly calls the attention of Con-
greSS to the fact that unemployment in
the Green Mountain State is two-thirds
less than in April, 1896, due primarily to
the absorption of workers by private
industry. The number of jobless has
been cut from 19,l69 year ago to 6,O33
this month. The State Employment
Service reports lack Of household as
sistants and farm hands to I'LL the many
calls for these types of employment.
The burdens on both Federal and State
relief funds are steadily falling in
Vermont as men and women leave the
rolls for old-time jobs.
Gone With the Wind" apparently
Isn't the best seller in the country after
all. That distinction is claimed for the
Department Of Labor's famous Children's
Bureau publication No. 8, Infant Care"
The latter is still rated as the most
popular OF Il the hundreds of publica-
tions issued by the Federal Government.
More than 100000 copies have been
sold. Nowadays, whenever a favorite
daughter is about to present her first
child to the world, it seems to occur
separately to each doting aunt, bachelor
uncle and more experienced matronly
friend to send along a copy Of No. 8. A
commentator points out that as the
young mother herself probably already
thought of ordering the booklet, the
nursery usually has a supply on hand
sufficient for quintuplets.

that the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
should take the form of q maternity

his sons. father of the newcomer, to the
well-known hospital in Washington
where the child was born, the Texan
was astonished to learn that, like every
establishment Of the kind in Washington
nowadays, its maternity facilities and
staffs are hopelessly overtaxed. Next
day Mr.. Blanton urged Commissioners
Hazen and Allen to recommend q great
new maternity hospital in the District
of Columbia as the most useful memorial
that could be erected in honor Of the
author of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
Impressive figures have been presented

from 1873 to date the United States has
appropriated $35000000 for 46 exhibi-
tions of various kinds, including $2294,-
600 for the Philadelphia centennial in
1876, $1,65O,0OO for New Orleans in
1884, $4,800, 900 for Chicago in 1893, 81

$1,175,000 for Chicago in 1884 and
100000 for Dallas in 1896. The New

5000, 900 visitors are expected.

Japanese Emigration.

AS Congress in 1924 was about to scar
the national pride of Japan by enacting
an immigration law which excluded her
citizens from the quota system applicable
to other countries, the Hanihara note
of painful memory foreshadowed the
grave consequences" that would ensue.
Japan's relations with the United States
did undergo certain strain. which has
never been entirely eradicated, but the
dire results envisioned never material
lied. What happened instead was that
the stream OF Japanese emigration was
diverted from the west coast of the
United States to South America. For
the better part Of the succeeding decade
it flowed strongly in that direction
Now comes news that Latin republics,
which formerly welcomed Japanese i'm
migrants, have also put up the bars.

searcher is likely to be confused, even
with the best Of books.
Too many cooks" will never spoil the
broth" in bird Identification
Always ask questions, II you don't
know.
The person asked may not know
either-but he may be able to tell you
where to flnd out!
There is somebody. undoubtedly, in
city Of this size, with persons from all
parts OF the United States and the world,
who knows everything.
II one is fortunate enough to ask the
person who knows, from first hand, he
will know himself, in turn, without un-
due bother.
Recently we told here Of seeing .
wood thrush, dead, on front porch, at
least three weeks before these thrushes
normally return to the District OF Co.
lumbia and nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
That bird undoubtedly had flown in
ahead OF time, and probably had starved
on the way.
The gallinule must have been far of
its beaten track, being q bird which nor
mally would stay closer to the coast
llne, or lnlanQ marsh trails.
DR.. T. Gilbert Pearson, in the work
referred to above, calls the gallinule
"hen-like" in many OF its movements
Its near relative in Europe is called
the moor hen.
DR.. Pearson says the Florida gallinules
possess a wonderful repertoire: They
are all very harsh, but they suggest the
entire range of passions"
Curious weather all over the country
no doubt has been responsible for many
birds getting their dates" mixed
Warm one day, cool the next, lack
OF normal rainfall, these are factors
which no doubt perplex the birds, de-
spite their insti.. is.
Just as plants rush their buds into the
light, only to have them frozen the next
day, so no doubt many birds start their
annual migrations North at the wrong
time.
II the specimens are hardy and able
to stand the cold they pull through
without harm, despite the fact that they
may find snow and ice at the point
where they decide to nest.
A few days and the sun comes out, the
snow melts away, and the vegetation
stirs itself, until a migratory bird be-
gins to 1eel at home.
4
Birds Of lesser stamina do not sur
vive if they make a mistake in the
proper time OF migration
We will never forget that forlorn
robin we saw that last snowfall. He ap-
peared to be very much put out by it all.
This probably will be a season of un-
usual bird visitors, so those who love
their feathered friends must keep q
sharp lookout for them.
II you see bird whose name you do
not know, try to estimate its size, note
its coloring, and, if possible, how it
differs from a known bird 1t may re-
semble.
Then ask some one who may know.
II he doesn't, he may be able to tell you
who does.
