1t Is Dangerous

1t is dangerous to sell SUBSTITUTE
for 666 just to make three or four
cents more. Customers are your best
assets; lose them and you lose your
business. 666 is worth three or four
times as much as a SUBSTITUTE.

pelling. A little nation had declined to
be used as . highway in . quarrel be-
tween empires. It's independence had
been violated, its citizens abused. The
good King Albert had appealed for help
which European neighbors could not
give. An unknown California engineer.
we'll acquainted with poverty and suffer-
ing, organized the answer of friends in
the United States. Under his super
vision vast sums were collected and
spent. The effort was wholly voluntary
in character. No one was coerced into
cooperation. Perhaps for that reason,
especially, the fund was over subscribed.
A surplus Of twenty-five millions re-
mained in 1919 to be allocated to the
advancement Of education.
Now King Albert is dead and Mr..
Hoover journeys to Brussels to honor his
name. The occasion, naturally enough,
provides opportunity for Belgium to
thank the erstwhile relief administrator
and the country to which he belongs. It
also furnishes an excuse for a consider
able number of Americans to indicate
their gratitude for services he has
rendered at home and which now prob
ably are better understood than they
were few years ago.

worry.
Anything which helps slow one up will
be good for the pedestrian.
Watching the birds will help, provided
1t does not entirely take ones mind OF
traffic.
Safety in modern tranac-even when
on the sidewalk one Is in trafnc-de.
pends upon thinking about it all the
time.
1t Is entirely possible, however, to
think Of something else, In this case
sparrows, starlings and pigeons, If the
watcher will put them out Of his mind
just before he resumes his steps.
Debris is swept toward curbs, and
seems naturally to collect there, much
to the dissatisfaction Of civilians who
prefer a clean city.
The birds, however, delight in 1t, for
every pile Of sweepings may contain .
bit OF bread, apple core or whatnot.
Fortunately for the birds, they are
not finicky in the least, in the human
sense. They enjoy their food wherever
they nnd 1t and are not bit particular.
They can't afford to be-
Food is just something to eat with
them. II 1t Is edible, that Is all that
interests them.
All the birds named make pretty free
with the downtown section They utilize
the trees for roosting and resting places,
they play around the cornices of hotels
and other buildings and do not hesitate
to nest on the most ornate Government
. buildings.
Parks, circles and squares, naturally.
are bird sanctuaries. Here they may be
observed more as they are in suburban
and country sections. This is not what
we want in downtown bird observation.
We want to see how they exist there,
what they are up against" how their
actions differ from those of sparrows,
starlings and pigeons in the open
country.
The greatest noticeable difference is
their necessary lack Of fear Of humans
in the downtown districts.
If they did not build this up to a
point almost Of indifference, they would
starve to death, for the "pickings" are
not as good and the dangers are far
greater on every hand
Once the birds have mastered the
game of eating under the very feet and
cars of humans, they are on the way
to good living
1t is difficult to say how many of the
so-called downtown birds leave the city
daily and go to the suburbs It is not
impossible for them. of course. to fly
everyday to Rockville, for instance, and
back into the city for sleep.
They could do it. but, with the ex-
ception of the starlings we do not be-
lieve they do. The starlings undoubtedly
have wide grazing radius, perhaps as
much as 20 miles or more daily in all
directions. 1t may be that We UNDER
rate their flying: perhaps they go as far
as several hundreds of miles, only to
return each afternoon and evening to
those nice warm ledges in downtown
Washington.
Downtown sparows and pigeons are
more resident; their radius of operations
is probably not more than q few miles
in any direction.

Dear Sir: Your article in The Star
in defense Of the Startling and sparrow
expresses my mind exactly. My motto
Is live and let live,' and I feed the star
lings and sparrows daily.
THE other day watched seven or
eight starlings having q hot argument
over a beef bone which had put out for
hungry dog, and certainly got more
kick out Of It than have derived from
any movie for long time.
People may not realize it, but their
attitude toward ordinary birds. stray
cats and dogs, certainly shows them
up and is true index of character.
Il intend to continue being friend
to the startling and sparrow, and If I
am funny that way well, 1t is q good
way in which to be funny. Sincerely"
etc.
This column was the first to take It's
own advice the other day to spend more
time watching sparrows and starlings
The conduct of these birds in the
downtown areas is amazingly interest,"
ing, once you start watching them as
you go around.
If the pigeons are added, as they
should be, since they are everywhere
downtown. the bird spectacle in the
heart of the city is really big one.
The way these creatures have solved
the traf1c problem is inspiring. Humans
well might take tips from them; few
birds seem to get run down.
Pigeons, especially, take many chances,
yet it is seldom that one sees one Of
them struck.
They are always finding something to
eat in cutters and remaining there while
cars roll toward them. They seldom
fly up. but merely step aside with their
stunning gait. Often car wheels are
within foot Of the bird before it moves.
When one first watches this spectacle,
1t seems pretty terrible, If you like ami
mails. The pigeons do not seem to have
good sense. After while one sees that
the biros are much smarter than one
Is giving them credit for; pigeons seem
to have sort Of sense as to what is
dangerous and what is not.
AS far as we can observe, few drivers
make any allowance for them at all
why, no more than they do for chill
dren, dogs and squirrels!
y y
1t is entirely to the pigeons credit
that it issues alive from its feast.
English sparrows and starlings are
much more canny in this respect.
They prefer tree boxes and sidewalks
for feeding grounds.
There is always bit Of cake or bun
or banna peel. or something else edible,
lying on sidewalks or in tree space.
There are even some bird friends who
make habit of taking away part of
their lunch in their pockets and sprin-
king it around the city for benefit Of
the three species of birds named.
Careful observation will reveal these
food supplies. as well as distribution of
grains and seeds on walks beneath
apartment windows. There is one
downtown store where grain is put out
every morning for all that come.
Watching the birds In the downtown
streets has its dangers, If it distracts
ones attention from trafic.
Properly handled, however, this NAV
be overcome and turned into a pleasure.
Haste is one of the real dangers pedes-
trians run In modern traffic. It is

agency. The commission began the
task Of fixing tte coal prices last April,
and now 1t must begin all over again.
In this second attempt. presumably,
public hearings will be held before any
prices are hxed. which means that it
will be many months before the basic
purpose Of the bituminous coal act
elimination of disastrous price cutting
can be realized.
A chronological recital of the events
leading to the order Of revocation pre-
sents an interesting commentary on the
administrative policies Of the commits
sion.
First, the United States Court of Ap-
peals for the District, speaking through
justices appointed by President Roose-
welt, enjoined the enforcement Of the
price schedules in certain cases because
public hearings had not been held. This
was followed by an announcement from
the chairman Of the commission, after
conference with the President, that
I'VE have no intention of suspendine
the minimum prices" except as, and
only to the extent ordered by the court.
In that state Of affairs, John l.. Lewis,
head Of the Committee for Industrial
Organization and president of the pow.
erful United Mine Workers, accom-
panied by several leading producers,
called on members Of the commission.
Within twenty-four hours came the an
nouncement that the price schedules
would be revoked.
Such an abrupt change of front raises
question as to how faithfully the pro-
visions Of the legislation creating the
commission have been followed by that
agency in arriving at its policies. Ger
tainly. it does not seem amiss to suggest
that the commission adhere strictly to
the mode Of procedure prescribed by the
act In its future price-nxing activities.

Torrents Of irony. verbal and printed
drenched the McNutt presidential boom
in Washington. The effort to submerge
1t in flood of satire was so concerted
that to many observers there was a
faint suggestion that somebody doth
protest too much. More than a sus-
picion persists that orders to Squelch
the 'McNutt movement" originated in
certain exalted quarters, the theory for
this soft impeachment being that before
a 1910 band wagon gets going, 1t must
wait for green light from on high.
Ridicule, of course, is deadly political
weapon. It has been known to destroy
far more effectively than criticism or
attack. But sometimes it defeats its
own purpose, and, as has famously been
said, he who laughs last laughs best.
Despite the barbs at the McNutt bally-
hoo. it has put the Hoosier Ex-Governor
on the map and the front pages of the
Nation, and spread his name and fame
to the remotest nook and Granny of the
land. Maybe the snow-capped sycamore
of the Wabash believes with Barnum
that It's better to be abused than ignored.
Most politicians subscribe to that theory.
Some of them have reached the White
House

Mark Thistlethwaite, astute Washing
ton correspondent of the Indianapolis
News-cne time private secretary to
Tom Marshall, both as Governor of
Indiana and Vice President ascribes
to McNutt "a refreshing candor" in
getting out in front early in the game.
The seasoned Indiana political scribe
says that political old-timers who pro-
fess to be amazed at what they term
the brashness of McNutt and his friends
merely indicate they don't know the
man as Hoosiers know him." Continues
Thistlethwaite: THE former Governor
always has used rules of his own to
govern his activities. His departures
from conventional procedure cannot be
said to have held him back or kept
from him the thing he wanted. -
He Is too good Snowman to permit 4
less colorful rival to get lead which
has to be overcome. Earle of Pennsyl-
vania has declared for Roosevelt for a
third term. This was regarded BY the
orthodox not only as good politics, but
as clever compliance with the party
custom Of deferring to the sitting Presi-
dent to speak first. McNutt, on the
other hand, invites the criticism of
seeking to force F. D. RS hand. =
Not In decades has the executive Office
sought Vhe man. Candidates know this
as well as any one. Yet coyness, in
difference and inactivity invariably are
assumed and stressed as a prelude to
q final yielding to what is made to look
like party or public demand. For stream-
lining this ox-cart political method.
McNutt may win the gratitude Of
moderns."

to be discouraged easily. He has already
