chagrin.
In other words, they're letting
Warner, Bierman, Wade and those
other blokeS play football the old
fashioned way. They're using the
confusion system, the idea prob
ably being that the other team
doesn't know what's coming next,
because the dizziness boys never
quite seem to know themselves.
The dizziness boys, by the way,

Italy's Naval Plans.

Hitherto it has been understood that
Mussolinis plans for increase of the
Italian navy spring primarily, if not
exclusively, from Fascist ambitions to
dominate the narrow confines of the
Mediterranean. Developments at Rome
now suggest what was meant by the
recent announcement that the Fascist
fleet henceforth will be an "ocean-goings
navy. Admiral Domenico Cavagnari,
undersecretary of the navy, declares in
the Chamber of Deputies that Italy,
having become world power, must ex-
pand upon the high seas and not re-
strict her activities to waters which
wash the shores of italian territory
Roman observers are prompt to find q
resemblance between this program and
Kaiser Wilhelm's celebrated dictum at
the dawn of the century that "Germany's
future lies upon the water"-a pronun-
ciamento which signaled the fateful
struggle of the Hohenzollern Reich to
challenge British supremacy at sea.
Italys reported immediate purpose is
to safeguard lines of communication
with the East African colonial empire"
and those leading to sources of raw ma
terials from the Black Sea. The build
ing program calls for launching late
this Summer Of two 35000-ton battle
ships. AS soon as these leave the slips,
keels for two more of the same dimen-
sons will be laid. All four vessels are
expected to be equipped with 16-inch
guns and will have vastly wider cruis-
ing range than Italian naval designers
have provided in the past when Rome
was not looking beyond the Mediter-
ranean. Until the entire fleet is brought
up to the new specifications it is init
mated that Italy will not turn her at
tention to regions remote from her
European soil and African domain. But
her dreams of maritime glory far out
strip those limits.
Italians, while placing full faith in
Mussolini's naval plans, do not forget
that John Bull has fought and over
come every nation that seriously threat
ened British prowess at sea-Spain,
France and Germany, in succession They
can be in no doubt that Britain was
never more alive than today to condi-
tions which menace her power, no
matter In what quarter they originate.
Fresh evidence on that score is supplied
by research report on Southeast Asia,
just issued by the Foreign Policy AS
ISOLATION It points out that Japanese
economic penetration in that quarter
of the globe is forcing Great Britain
into the role Of protector of French,
Dutch and Portuguese possessions. Hav-
ing spent more than e10,O00,0O0 on
fortifying Singapore, the British are
now credited with readiness to invest
s7o,00o00o of their FL SOC, 900 900 rearma-
ment budget in the creation of an i'm
perial Pacific fleet, to defend not only
outlying British dominions, but also the
colonial territory of other Western pow
ers friendly to Britain.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Women ought to make the best archi-
tects and builders, one might think, and
this is absolutely true among the Balti-
more orioles.
The female oriole builds the entire
nest so deity that, by the common ac-
claim Of mankind, 1t Is considered one
of the finest of all bird homes.
The garden with one Of these gray
gourd-shaped nests hung ut the extreme
tip of long branch has in it domicile
any human might envy in completeness
and construction.
The first sight of one Of these nests
in ones own yard is . thrilling and
worrisome one
Will it not fall down?
Will not the first Summer storm blow
down the entire 20-foot limb from which
1t is hung at the very end?
~
Experts tell us that these nests have
remained intact as long as four years.
Yet the selection Of the very tip of
the branch OF locust strikes the watcher
as extremely risky business
Locust limbs have q crazy way OF
blowing OF in storms
If this thought ever enters the head of
the pair OF orioles, however, there Is
never the slightest indication of 1t.
He poses here and there, in the tree,
while she works on the nest day by day
putting In the suspension strings, max
ing the warp, then deftly with infinite
skill weaving in plant fbers, strips of
bark, stalks hair and especially cords.
1t is easy to see these cords and wonder
where she managed to find them.

This oriole is cousin of the bobolink,
the cowbrd, the blackbird and the
meadoWlark.
Its scientific name is 1cterus gabula,
and its common name has a great deal
more authority to 1t than most COM
mon names, because the great Linnaeus
himself gave it to this bird.
It seems that when Cecil Calvert. as
second baron of Baltimore, came to this
country in 1866, he sent back several
skins OF birds, among them the striking
black and yellow bird which he thought
resembled the English oriole.
Linnaeus named 1t In honor of Lord
Baltimore, and so it has been ever
since.
Aside from that name, however. 1t is
no more Baltimore's bird than Washing
tons bird.
In fact, this very fine fellow and his
less snowy, but most capable mate, are
found everywhere in Eastern America
at this time Of year. and as far South
as Central Mexico, Venezuela and Co.
lombia in Winter, 50 you can see that
it is high-fying and far-nying family,
indeed
Some Of its other common names are
most interesting.
In various places it is called the golden
robin, hang-bird, hang-nest. fire bird,
pea-bird, hammock bird, golden oriole
Hang-nest is good name, because that
is literally what this bird does with
its nest, to the infinite establishment of
all persons who see it for the first time
And not from safe place, either, but
from the very end of long branch,
SO that all human watchers fear for its
safety
Not the orioles. however!

tractive but not really musical song. as

OF the storm, indeed"
Those In our garden this year, with
their nest literally out over the center
OF the yard, are beautiful and typical
specimens, but the song Of the male is
not the same as that of the orioles
which were in the neighborhood last
season.
1t seems more rudimentary in char
acter, and not so high pitched 1t will
be interesting to see If its song changes,
as the days go by, and becomes like that
Of last years bird.
Last season we caught only glimpses
OF the male, as his startlingly golden
yellow stomach cleaned in the trees.
This season we can see him often as
he perches foot or two from the end
Of the branch, encouraging his mate in
her endeavors.
These birds are about inches long,
the male glistening black, except for
his bright breast and stomach and the
show Of white on his wings, especially
as he flies.
The female is inconspicuous, her head
. sort Of pale green, her chest a very
pale yellow, her wings partly black
with some white.
She is not as gorgeous as he by any
means, but all the observer has to do
is to look up at that marvellous house
she built, almost hidden in the leaves
to realize that she is something very
fine in the world.
-
There is no real need for confusing
the Baltimore oriole with the tiny Mary
land yellow throat, but this is sometimes
done by persons who catch merely
glimpse OF yellow in the shrubbery.
This warbler is only ~ inches long,
with nice black mask over his face
II you can see it.
Watch for him in the althea bushes,
which he loves. Among the many good
uses OF this old-fashioned and sturdy
shrub, not the least is its lure for
Maryland throats.
1t seems particularly fortunate that
these two so fine birds are identified by
names pointing to the great free State
Of Maryland. Few territories of any
sort normally have so many fine song
sters.
Nearby MdTyldHQ Is 1alrly over
running with birds, and this despite the
tremendous building activities, which in
the past five years, in particular, have
substituted houses for trees in many
sections and brought great increase in
human activity.

Thousands of trees still exist in our
beautiful community and these serve to
bring the birds by the score
Among them the Baltimore oriole
ranks high. There are few birds which
seem to excite the interest of people
more than this one.
Many telephone calls have been re-
ceived by this column recently, asking
If We had seen Baltimore oriole this
year.
These words today are in answer to
all those calls, to assure all that we
not only have seen pair, but see them

is impossible, however, not to worry a
bit about what may happen to that

make paintings in the Rock Greek and
Potomac connecting parkway. This will
add materially to the attractiveness Of
that already delightful, drive.
Chairman Moore of the Commission
Of Fine Arts suggests that by careful
planning and systematic planting Wash
ington can be dressed up" with sue
cessive floral displays, changing with the
advance of the seasons, starting with
forsythia, following with cherries, then
magnolias, dogwood and redbud The
possibilities Of such a sequence in keep
ing with the general park treatment are
such as to invoke hearty Endorsement of
the plan.
The Japanese observe and promote
these periodic and successive floral de-
velopments with striking effectiveness,
with the result that their land is con-
slant panorama of beauty throughout the
season of growth, budding and blossom
ing. First come the cherries in April,
then the azaleas in May, the iris in June,
and so on throughout the Summer and
Autumn with climax with the highly
cherished chrysanthemums. With care
and adequate financial provisions the
parks of Washington including the park
ways connecting them may be made areas
and avenues Of beauty unsurpassed, II
equaled, anywhere In the world.
This proposal by Chairman Moore
should be taken promptly into considera-
ton for the adoption Of suitable meas
ures for its execution in the extension
rather than the depletion of Washing
tons floral establishment.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
A Haunting Portrait.

Lips that smile, half mockingly, half sad,
Eyes that follow, yet smile not at all.
Veil a soul that seems in mystery clad.
Holding living, human eyes in thrall.
A witching face inviting yet aloof,
With the odd charm gainst which no
man Is proof.
On studying the pictured face, one knew
That saddened mouth could very ten
der be,
Those eyes could deepen to violet hue,
In love could light with rare intensity:
And the curved lips be softly mocking
still
Elusive always; never volatile.

isolated genius. Crowds do not drive the
pen. Rather, literature is business of
solitary initiative. Hence, 1t is manifest
that 1t reflects the impressions OF single
units of the multitude and not of the
multitude as community.
But the folk reaction also is important.
There would be scant efficiency in pol
Icy OF detachment that would result in
failure to win public attention. It is self
evident that the most widely popular
memoirs have been those which dealt
primarily with circumstances with which
the populace already was measurably
familiar. President Grant and Mark

impatience. ike" Hoover, more recently.
reported his views of a long series of
Chief Executives to an audience which
wanted the intimate tales which his posi-
ton at the White House made it feasible
for him to tell. His theme had power OF
attraction. Readers desired to check
their opinions with his own. They fol-
lowed his narrative with pencil in hand
And that relation between author and
public probably is the ideal consumma-
ton. Memoirs which are not egocentric
IN character but, rather, social in motiva-
tion and effect are definite service to
civilization. They hold the mirror up"
to nation or an age with sympathetic
purpose. II they are informal, their
helpfulness is increased. America needs
