Fred A. Baughman. who has ham
died fruit frost work in Imperial
Valley since the fall Of 1890, has
requested assignment to other du-
ties in the U. S. weather bureau
and is completing his last season
as frost forecaster. according to
official announcement by Floyd
D. Young, in charge of the fruit
frost work on the Pacific Coast.
Woodrow c. Jacobs will take
over Ba,tghma1s duties Begin
ming with the fall season Of 1897,
and has already spent several days
in the valley going over the work
with Baughman. He has spent sew
eral years in the weather airways
service together with period of
instruction and training at the
Pomona headquarters of the fruit
frost service,
I'VE deeply regret that it has
become necessary for Baughman
to leave the frost service, said
Young. His long experience in
handling the highly specialized
type of work in this district has
enabled him to handle his duties
with marked success"
He entered the weather bureau
service in 1925 and was assigned
to the Coachella and Imperial
valleys when the fruit-frost serv-
ice was first extended to these
areas, having handled the work
ever since.

Carver of Tuskegee.

George Washington Carver does not
know when he was born All that he
can tell is that he came into the world

traded for horse. His mother disap-
peared during his infancy, and he at
tanned manhood under conditions not
notably friendly. But-explain the cir
cumstance by any of dozen theories
he was endowed with a heart and q
brain Of superior character. Four decades
back, Booker T. Washington identified
him with Tuskegees Institute, now the
worlds largest Negro institution of learn
ing.
Both an artist and a scientist, Carver
Is predominantly personality. A nat
ural capacity distinguishes him. He
feels and he thinks with an efficiency
rarely excelled in modern times. Those
who know him best speak Of him as being
possessed of rationalized energy like
disciplined electricity. He conceives an
objective. then moves straight toward 1t

mise-until 1t has been attained The in
ventions he has perfected, the discoveries
he has made are freely given to human

Early in the Morning.

If there is any better fun in the world
than that which freely may be had by
getting up early on Spring morning
and taking advantage Of the opportunity
for recreation, nobody has mentioned it..
The pleasure Of actually seeing the sun
rise is of kind which it would be difi-
cult to overestimate. Also, the Joy Of
walking or playing golf or tennis or even
of motoring before the rush Of the day
begins is glorious experience.
OF course, reasonable hour for get
ting to bed is indicated. There is no
efficiency in rising with the earliest
rooster If one is weary and tired and
drastically In need Of sleep. A certain
normal quota Of energy Is required for
the full appreciation Of the effort in
volved in awakening with thrill at the
privilege Of being alive. People who drag
themselves to routine business simply
have not had enough rest. They are
handicapped for their work Is well Is for
the occupations Of their leisure.
Perhaps, - planned economy" Of time
may be recommended. Eight hours Of
labor and eight hours Of repose added
together leave eight hours Of freedom for
whatever use person may wish to make

Bird watchers are accustomed TO look

in this garden.

far and wide.
Bird watchers are always looking for
new species to identify. Do not be fooled
by Old Man Startling. He is old, but a
good bird. after all, one we'll worth

Maybe he shows that individuaIism is
good, that only when the massed in

Mails and Strikes.

1t may be quite true, as Deputy First
Assistant Postmaster General Donald
son declares, that the Post Office De-
partment has no authority to settle
strikes" In his explanation Of the refusal
to deliver food through picket lines in
strikingly at variance with the principle
that the mails must move" declared by
President Cleveland in 1894, in con-
nection with the railroad strike OF that
year. Forty-three years ago labor con-
test was in progress against the Pull
man Company, with Chicago as its CEN
ter. The rail lines were tied up. Public
travel was impeded. Industrial interests
beyond those of the Pullman Company
were affected. The Governor of Illinois
failed to act. President Cleveland or
dered that the mails be moved and dis
patched Federal troops into the district
to enforce the mandate. The strike
was broken.
There was in that case no Fed
eral Intervention between the Pullman
strikers and the rail lines. The Gov
ernment did not undertake to settle
that strike. 1t undertook to re-establish
mail service. In doing so 1t incidentally
restored service on the rail lines for all
purposes.
In this present case the Post Office
Department undertakes to discriminate
between classes Of mail matter. If the
postal items it accepts for transport and
delivery happen to be munitions" in
the conflict it valves its right of dis
elimination upon acceptance OF the par
GELS for postal transport and 1t is bound
to make deliveries, regardless of any
effect that may be had upon a labor
conflict.
1t is not. of course, the function OF
the Post ONCE Department to under
take to settle labor troubles II Incl
dentally the discharge Of its functions
in the delivery of mails, Of whatever
character, should have an effect upon
the outcome Of strike the fault, il
any, lies in the acceptance of mails OF
that character for transport and de-
livery. II the department refuses to
transport and deliver articles which are
by law and regulation not mailable,
that is within its Jurisdiction But 1t
cannot, in reason and indeed under
the law, discriminate in mail deliveries
because Of the effect that deliveries
may have upon an industrial dispute.
Any other course is a trespass upon the
functions Of the labor relations branch
of the Government, by whatever law
they have been established.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

Those underdogs of birdland, the Eng
lish sparrows and starlings, always win
the admiration of bird watchers at last.
1t Is particularly gratifying to have a
pair OF the latter nest in The yard, for
then one is able to see the starting as
1t really is.
In the hocks in which 1t congregates
in winter the single bird is engulfed
in the mob.
Senol Ortega, in his Revolt of the
Masses" used the term "mass-man" to
indicate the crowd Of men as dis
tinguished from the superior individual.
Similarly, we might say mass-starling,
to denote starlings in flock, as differing
from the individual bird
The mass-man, as psychologists
brought out many years ago, makes
something different out OF the indi-
vidual components OF the crowd.
The crowd mind, now an old concept.
makes brutes, and worse out of other
wise normal individuals. People IN
crowd do not act as people by twos and
threes.
Perhaps the same holds good of star
lings. Certainly the pair nesting in a
hole dug out Of poplar stub are very
decent birds.
They make very little noise, and
practically no confusion.
A flicker "sings," il his loud noises
come under that classification, all day
long; he fairly makes the tree tops
split with his cries.
Those who fancy all bird songs pretty
will have to revise their opinions after
listening to Old Man Flicker for while.
A splendid bird, he is so little of a
singer, At least at this season, that his
sounds are noises rather than notes.
The wrens utterances take on the
semblance OF sweetest music, by contrast.
Starlings are not a bit gregarious
in Summer.
They separate to attend to their Sum-
mer duties, but come together again
IN the Fall, when the first chills FORE
cast the rigors Of the Winter
Wise birds, these, to understand that
in union there is strength-when neces-
sary.
Starlings are not theorists evidently.
They know perfectly we'll that it is
easy for any bird to flnd its living when
the weather Is warm, not so easy when
grubs and other foods are lacking.
BY herding together in flocks, in the
cold, each bird finds what any bird
finds. "All for one, one for all" is a
basic maxim known to the starlings
centuries ago. 1t was of service a
comparatively few years ago to the few
dozen which were first brought to these
shores. BY sticking to it assiduously.
those startling pioneers managed to
weather the Winters in strange land,
and gradually increase themselves until
today it Is their country. too.
MY country, It's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee we sing"
So sing the starlings, with perhaps
more right than some.
BY what mysterious arrangement do
they get together next Fall?
Perhaps it is through nothing more

washington will not see the eclipse
Of the sun tomorrow, but it is interested
IN the event just the same. On little
canton Island in the mid-Pacific the
Navy Department-N National Geographic
Society expedition, including men whose
homes are in the District OF Columbia,
awaits with nervous expectancy the

A few days later the photographs they

Seven minutes and four seconds Of

science In that fragment Of tnfinity,
1t may be possible to solve the riddle
OF the suns corona. Students Of solar
phenomena have sought for generations
to analyze the composition of the pearl
white halo which extends for literally
millions Of miles outward from the rim
OF the whirling gaseous mass Perhaps
they may succeed in solving the prob
lem on this occasion.
But they will not be discouraged by
any failure. II their most ardent hope
are disappointed, they will not CON-
plain. Pledged to the philosophy of
common sense as they are, they under
stand that there is no efficiency in pes
simism. Searchers for the truth must
be equipped with confidence As well as
courage. No great discovery, no useful
invention ever has been made by doubt
or skepticism. Columbus and Michael
Faraday, Calico and William Harvey,
Henry Hudson and Thomas Edison had
to believe before they could attempt
the ventures for which they are de-
servedly famous.
Indeed, 1t seems that the only eclipse
that anybody ever should worry about

Japanese Trade Visitors.

Washington is privileged to be host this
week to a distinguished delegation of
Japanese business men, who are touring
the United States to return the visit
made by an American economic mission
IN their country two years ago under the
Craftsmanship of former Ambassador and
one-time Governor General of the
Philippines w. Cameron Forbes. The
commercial leaders from the island en-
pire will be received by President Roose-
welt, Secretary of State Hull and Secre-
tary Of Commerce Roper and be rendered
hospitality by other important figures
In official and business circles.
The arrival OF these industrial and
financial leaders from Nippon makes it
appropriate to consider the peculiarly
. reciprocal nature of trade relations be-
tween the United States and Japan. 1t
Is so essentially of mutual character,
so indispensable to the normal we'll
being OF each country, that it is almost
unique in the tangled skein of inter-
national economics. A tariff agreement
OF the type which Secretary Hull is
promoting might extend in detail some
of the benefits existent in our business
traffic with Japan. Inherently that ex-
change already represents q fabric of
practical, two-sided advantage that finds
hardly parallel in the relations Of any
other two countries in the world.
A few cardinal facts and figures illus
trate the situation. Japan is the chief
consumer OF our cotton. She buys more
OF 1t than Great Britain France and
Germany combined. OF her own prin-
cipal article of export raw silk, ninety
per cent is sold to the United States.
Fifty per cent Of Japan's oil imports
come from this country. Nearly all of her
motor cars are Of American make Vast
quantities of lumber, originating mostly
in our Northwest, find their way an
nually to Japan. Even for fish, their
principal food item, the Japanese look
to American waters as a regular source
OF supply. After the British Common
wealth of Nations, the Japanese Empire
IS the United States largest market. 1t
takes more OF Uncle Sans products
than all the rest Of Asia combined, in
cluding the Philippines. Japan sells us
more than she sells to any other country,
even China. But the general balance of
trade remains substantially in our favor.
Conditions like these are the mortar
that cements international relations.
They constitute the most solid, con-
ceivable reason why war between Japan
and the United States is unthinkable.
The Capitals guests from the Far East
have come here to lay still more deeply
those foundations of common esteem
and material interest which underlie
our friendship. Washington, in the
cherry blossom spirit, bids them cordial
welcome and wishes them complete Sue
cess in the promotion of the good will
enterprise which brings them to these
shores. 1t is a mission OF peace as well
as Of trade.
