The Fords Tell Their Plans
for1939

J O
IF WE KNEW anything better we could do for
i the country than make good motor cars, we
would do it.
By every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful, this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best in
our Job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
cry more than a year ago, we determined that We
should keep going anyway, if not at full.volume
motor car production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build "a million dollars worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ as many as we could building
better production facilities.
We we're told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that a wiser business policy would
be to "hold everything'-which means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
. Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
tnls country mas seen It's best days. We believe this
country is yet in the infancy of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom Of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall see it! That is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just coming back. 1t will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming we'll
understood in this country; for that reason 1889
will be a cooperative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will cooperate to bring back the bust.

Starlings, Bane Of Capital,

The startling may be just q bum in

CAB RATE BOOST
HEARING DENIED
Commission Tells Union It
Has Received No Plea
From Taxi Owners,

A petition by the Taxi Drivers
Union, Local 447. of the American
Federation of Labor, for a public
hearing on an increase in the zone
fare schedule has been denied by the
Public Utilities Commission on the
ground it has received no demand for
a change in rates from any taxi owner
The union asked several weeks ago
for a public hearing to determine a
satisfactory rate to carry the addi-
tional burden imposed by the COM
pulsory taxicab liability law" The
union petition did not specify a pro-
posed new system of rates.
The commission in its reply to the
petitioner explained that any public
utility may submit any proposed
change in rates it desires, but denied
the request for the public hearing,
stating that it did not have a petition
from any taxi owner for rate increase.
The petition, submitted for the union
by Thomas L. Evans, recording secre-
tary, was the first move carried to the
commission for taxi rate boost. The
advisability and possible effect of a
rate boost was debated at length by
taxi groups about the time the COM
pulsory insurance plan went into effect
late in August. Some leaders insisted
on enough delay to determine the
effect Of the insurance law.

opinion of the investigator, for the
service he renders. Starlings also dine
to certain extent on garbage sal
vaged in city and country.
Mr.. Lindsey said that his investiga-
ton showed the starlings feed their
nestlings almost entirely upon worms
and insects destructive to food crops,
a real boon to the farmer during the
spring growing season.
Birds Just Roost Here.
In summing up Mr. Lindsey de-
clared the study was conclusive proof
that starlings are beneficial although
he did not go so far as to state they
help Washington any.
Local residents point out that star
lings neither feed nor nest here to
any extent-they just roost. They
arrive in the fall, when the growing
season is over, and leave in the spring,
when they might help put down in
sects in the parks.
With few exceptions, most Wash
ingtonians. including Clifford Lanham
superintendent Of District trees and
parking, who has had charge of star
ling chasing operations for years, are
willing to let the farmers have the
little sirds-every one Of them.

But don't get excited, ladies. There
are only dozen girls getting that

girls who are undergoing examinations
for licenses to practice the art OF
cosmetology.
The license seekers have taken over
a large room on the third floor of the
old Police Court Building to demon
strate to the Cosmetology Board their
ability to make milady beautiful.
No fee is being charged for the treat
rnents because no fee is permitted to
apprentice cosmetologists.
The board said more than 100 girls
will take their examinations this
month, including approximately 80
white girls and 40 colored Hairdress-
ers who had been practicing cosmo-
tology for at least six months before
the act went into effect were taken in

ATTACK ON OWLS
BRINGS PROTEST
0rnithoIogist Denies Mans
Right to Judge Birds
Desirabi|ity.

A protest which was heated to say
the least followed suggestion yes
terday at the convention Of the Amer
icon Ornithologists, Union that man
could set himself up as a Judge of
which wild birds are beneficial" and
have right to survive.
w. Bryant Tyrrell of Takoma Park,
Md, had just given the visiting natu-
ralists the results of his observation of
the nesting habits of the Northern
barred owl in woodland near Laurel,
Md. The study revealed that the owls
while rearing their young in the spring,
are mighty hunters.
Some nests, usually built in hollow
tree, near or oyerhanglng a stream,
contained as many as three young
rabbits, few field mice, and the
feathered remains of birds-mostly
flickers, with an occasional whippoor.
will, robin or cardinal.
At conclusion of Mr.. Tyrrell's re-
;,
despite this evidence OF the owls
destruction of small mammals and
birds, the bird of prey nevertheless
seemed beneficial" and therefore
should not be destroyed.
Saunders Protests.
Whereupon w. E. Saunders, vet
eran naturalist of London, Ontario,
leaped to his feet and declared with
some heat:
Mr.. Chairman, I wish to protest
the suggestion that men are qualified
to determine which birds are desirable
or otherwise! 1 think that decision
should be left with nature!
The older grow, the more strongly
I am convinced of the need of toler-
ance Men in particular should be
tolerant. There is nothing in mans
record as the greatest killer of all
time to qualify him to act as a judge
of the right Of natures birds tc
survive!
1T seems clear to me that small
birds, which increase and multiply
greatly, were meant by nature to be
reduced in numbers by their enemies
and to provide food for them. Birds
of prey were created to feed as they
do. and they. too. have their enemies
which keep them in check-natural en-.
emies. however, not the destructive
forces which man can bring against
them!'
Receives Applause.
At conclusion of this spirited state
ment. Mr.. Saunders received round
of applause from the ornithologists.
The visitors are making their head
quarters at the Raleigh Hotel and
holding meetings at the auditorium in
the National Museum.
The annual dinner was held last
night in the ballroom at the Raleigh.
The convention was to be adjourned
today following an afternoon session.
Tomorrow the visiting naturahsts
will be taken on an all-day field trip
to the Patuxent Wild Life Research
Refuge near Laurel. A barbecue lunch
con will be served at l o'clock, 1t was
announced.
Delegates who remain over will visit
the birdhouse at the Zoo at 10 am

PARLEY TAKES UP
D. c. TAX REVISION
Progress on New Program
Reported After Meeting
Lasting Three Hours.

Progress" in the development OF a
proposed new tax program for the
District was reported today by men,
bers Of the Commissioners Tax Ad-
visory Committee. following a three
hour session yesterday with experts OF
the Congressional Joint Committee on
Internal Revenue Taxation.
Members of the group insisted, how
ever, that no decision yet had been
reached as to details of the proposed
program. Many different angles OF
the problem were said to have been
considered, including present levies
and new suggestions.
A combination of a modified form OF
income tax with restricted sales tax
has been considered for some weeks
by the group. Seeking to get around
previous congressional objections to q
District income tax. the proponents Of
this plan suggested exemption OF sala-
ries. applying the levy generally only
to business incomes.
Whether this plan has grown in
favor with the committee, or is being
subject to revision, officials declined
to say.
Sitting with the Advisory Commit
tee was Senator King. Democrat Of
Utah, member of the Joint Commit
tee on Internal Revenue Taxation
He has urged that the tax burden be
held down to its present level by a
limitation on the 1910 budget esti-
mates.
The committee was advised the
Commissioners will hold their 1910
estimates to roughly $50 1000, 900. about
the same as this years appropriations,
but it appeared the size of the new
revenue bill would depend on what
present levies might be abandoned,
such as the business privilege and the
tangible and intangible taxes.
Others present were Engineer Com
missioner David McCoach, jr., Colin
