Maryland's choice of United States

as much interest as its selection of

The contest over the Democratic NOM
ination for Senator is assuming unusual
significance In view Of reports that the
Roosevelt administration would welcome
the appearance Of an acceptable" pros
pect to run against Millard E. Tydings.
Such reports created something Of
surprise among the States political lead

administration would remain strictly
neutral in party primary battles.

the ground make nice temporary garden
seats.
Few birds get more good out of trees
than the wood thrush.
He prefers saplings to Is feet tall
for his nests, but tall trees for his
singing. In the early morning he may
be as high as go to 100 feet, from which
height his beautiful Ginning music
comes down like benediction.
At dusk he likes to sit on branch
lower down, sometimes 10 to 20 feet,
and sing for half an hour at time
Often this supreme concert is given
close to house, SO that the fortunate
householder has priced seat.
At this distance the series of small
Whirrs and rasping sounds which the
bird intermingles with its four chief
phrases are heard very clearly. On
first hearing, the listener will feel in
clined to wish the bird would omit them.
After listening for time. the hearer
will come to see. that the bird Is right,
after all. These are part of the song
and merely give point and added beauty
to the clear phrases.
The wood thrush achieves the musical
miracle Of loud song which is at once
delicate and artistic.
X X
The bird builds nice nest Of leaves,
small stems and grass, cemented with
mud, and sometimes patched with bits
OF colored paper and cloth. 1t is be-
lieved that these latter are put in by
the bird solely for ornament. No one
would dispute this, for the wood thrush
is an artist.
Older bird books say that this thrush
has never been as domesticated as the
robin, but it seems as though the thrush
has made great strides in this respect
in the past 20 years.
Today he is even tanner, in a sense,
and hops around totally unafraid be-
meath shrubbery, in his perpetual search
for food. This bird is one of the most
valuable We have in insect consumption.
The small garden which has a thrush
possesses an ineStimable aid.
We have found the wood thrushes
much more friendly than the robins.
The robin, despite his fine reputation,
which is quite deserved, has very
cold way Of looking at a garden friend.
One never gets over the feeling that
this bird would eat you as quickly as
any worm, if only he were large enough
to do it.
The wood thrush however, has a calm
and friendly eye which chimes in per-
fectly with his sedate manners.
Elegant is the word for him and her.
1t is an old-fashioned descriptive, per-
haps, but good one, and scarcely
another bird in all birdland deserves it
in exactly the same way.
The dignity of this bird is complete.
but 1t is tempered with the mildness of
the complete gentleman and gentle
woman.
To those not personally acquainted
with the wood thrushes, these remarks
may seem a bit stretched but once you
meet the family and are permitted to
attend the concerts, you will know that
this is one bird in thousand and a
friend for life.
AS far as We know. the wood thrush
never comes to the city proper, but pre-
fers the strictly suburban areas
We do not recall ever having heard or
seen one in Montrose or other local park.

Travel by Proxy.

1t is difficult to the point Of impos-
sibility to conceive of any logical argu-
ments against the Senate committee
amendment to the legislative appropria-
ton bill prohibiting members of Con-
gress from collecting travel expenses
for trips not made.
Members of the House and Senate
In sense are employees of their Govern
ment. AS such they are entitled to
salaries for services rendered and to
reimbursement for expenditures made
in line of duty. They are not, however,
entitled to reach into the public treas
ury for petty cash which represents
neither service nor expenditure.
In effect, this is what happens when
members draw expense funds for holi-
day or recess trips to their homes and
then pocket the cash while remaining
In Washington. It is a matter left en-
tirely to the Judgment of the members
whether they should return to their
homes during recess; If they do there
Is no question about their receiving
reimbursement and If they do not
there should be no question about their
not receiving such, Reimbursement"
The whole issue is one Of particular
point this year since full travel allow

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

When the song Of the wood thrush
chimes down through the trees, our
neighborhood knows that suburban life
is worth it all.
A week ahead OF their usual time, these
beautiful birds arrived Thursday morn
ing, their vocal powers undimmed since
we heard them last summer.
Always they come first to the great
lane of oaks, then spread out over the
remainder of the neighborhood.
The morning is fresh and clean, be-
fitting the strains of this best of birds.
One is walking along, thinking about
nothing in observation-disclosures the best
way, to walk-When suddenly
The peculiar Ginning effect Of the
thrush song strikes the ears.
1t is like greeting an old friend.
Why, it's wood thrush!
A sudden happiness suffuses heart and
mind, happiness unsought and un-
prepared for, always the best sort.
The birds are calling from tree to
tree. However distant, the triolets of
the wood thrush's song are bright and
clear.
1t has real song pattern, as we'll as
intense power, but the latter only in
keeping with the great spaces in which
the bird sings.
The wood thrush is cousin to the
1ebird and the robin.
-.e is, therefore, member of a mighty
fine old family.
No upstart the wood thrush, although
he is almost the best singer of his
family-and that means one of the finest
in all the world
The hermit thrush, true inhabiuant
of woods, is thought by many to have
a finer song, but as for us we like the
wood thrush's music the best, and ask
no better at any time.
The calm countenance of this bird
coupled with his beautiful suit of brown
and gray, his fine song, and his friendly
ways, combine to offer the suburban
resident something wonderful.
AS unafraid as the robin Is, 1t is
not quite so carefree as the wood thrush,
which many time will hop around in
the yard perfectly unconcerned at lawn
moving and the like.
We have had one of these birds refuse
TO get out of the way of the mower
except at the slowest pace.
We have had them sing while standing
on the ground. too, although it must be
admitted that tree is preferred
rostrum.
How the birds love the trees Large
or old trees, live or dead trees, makes
no difference.
Friends of birds should never be in
too great hurry to take down dead
tree. Flickers and others which like
nesting in holes find them easy to drill
Stumps 10 or Is feet high make good
places for vines, also much loved by most
birds. Bird houses. or boxes, as some
call them, can be placed on top of such
stumps.
Lower stumps can be followed out,
and a concrete basin inches deep
made in the top. This makes an ex-
cellent bird bath, one which no dog can
knock over.

Urges Organization of a
Brotherhood of Mankind

To the Editor OF The Star:
Why should it not be possible for, say,
only dozen public-spirited. intellectual
men and women of each independent
country of the world to organize
brotherhood of mankind?
Surely there are dozen Americans
who can think and act in the spirit Of
love. peace and harmony and give part
OF their time to cooperate with dozen
similarly thinking Englishmen, French
men, Italians, Germans, Chinese, Span
ish, East Indians, Russians, Mexicans
and other nationalities to start a pub
lie international movement with
strong, workable brotherhood of man
kind as goal.
The first step would be the same as
organizing any new company, viz: pre-
pairing its bylaws, rules and regulations.
They should contain first the establish
ment of newspaper printed in at least
10 of the leading languages with trans
lations of leading articles in each Ian
guage, till a committee and later
subcommittee can be formed of prom
inent lnguists to prepare common
brotherhood language, which can be
easily learned by any one
After such language is proposed and
accepted by the full committee it could
be introduced first in every college, then
in every high school and later in every
public and private school of every
country. It's study could be made volun-
tary at first and later compulsory.
The brotherhood newspaper in the
accepted brotherhood language should
reach every brotherhood language STU
dent in every part of the world It
should be profuse with pictures and will
naturally draw lot of advertisements.
1t would never publish crime, murder,
jealousy or negative news, but every
thing that creates positive thoughts, like
peace news, cooperative news, educa-
tional editorials, ETC., and propagandize
love, harmony. peace, education, CO.
operation, economy, good will among all
nations and individuals.
Teachers of the brotherhood language
should frequently change locations, like
English born in Italy, Italian born in
Russia, Russian born in Sweden, Swedish
born in the United States and so forth.
They would teach not only the language,
but the ideals of the Brotherhood of
Mankind, Inc, to which all teachers
would have to subscribe.
The brotherhood of mankind move-
ment on an international good will pro-
gram should find a rapid gain in all
countries and in the humble opinion Of
the writer would be the best and quick
est way to do away with war and war
preparations and bring us closer to the
millennium, when only peace and har-
mony will rule.

Our Wings Over Europe.

An III wind that is blowing American
industry definite good is the rising tide
of airplane orders swamping our manu-
facturers from war-fearing Europe.
This weeks arrival of British mission
to purchase bombing machines syn
chronizes with a report of the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce that the
United States aviation industry has
prospects of reaching production ca
pacity this year. That outlook is due
to the fact that factories already have
on hand airplane and engine orders
totaling more than $l50,OOO,O0O, apart
from tentative new Army and Navy
orders. These, plus increasing demand
for ships from abroad, foreshadow
that 1888 will find our plane builders
buster than in any other peace-time
period.
Indicative of the economic importance
OF the aircraft industry, its capacity
output is estimated at s34O, 900 900. An
average worker, who must be skilled
artisan, is said to produce within year
material with a sales value of about
$3.50. Capacity production, based on
a three-shift, 24-hour day, would call
for employment of some 100000 hands
Air expansion plans in the Army and
Navy alone, under the proposed sSO,O00,-
00O expenditure authorization, would
entail personnel increase of $1,000. if
delivery were demanded within a year.
The average aircraft worker gets 70
cents an hour, with a round annual
income Of 81 400. OF every dollar spent
In aviation plants, "A cents goes into
labor costs, exclusive of white collar
overhead" California, New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey, in the order
named, are the leading aviation in
dustry States.
So the worldwide ornaments race.
deplorable as it is from the standpoint
OF peace and of overburdened tax
payers, seems to be proving a boom for
Yankee industry. Besides aircraft, the
military and naval powers are looking
to us for heavy guns, coast artillery,
men-of-war and virtually all other types
OF munitions and equipment. American
bombing planes, or flying fortresses,"
such as the British want, are considered
all over the world to be far and away
the best type produced Preceding
Britain, France, Russia, Japan, China,
Turkey and many South American coun-
tries have either purchased, or are at
tempting to purchase, aircraft and
various types of war equipment here.
Their interest in our produce stems
jointly from an appreciation of its
excellence and, in several cases like the
European powers possessing great arma-
ment industries of their own, from the
inability Of even these extensive facilities
to cope with the craze for and COMPETE
ton in death-dealing military ma
chinery. 1t is mad world, my masters!

George Grey Barnard,

George Grey Barnard was, above all
else, = splendid dreamer. Nothing he
ever created quite measured up to his
vision. He was possessed of prodigious
capacity to imagine monumental forms,
monumental beauty. If he failed to
achieve the impossible, it was not his
personal fault The Rainbow Arch is
an example of the gap between his
genius and reality. He finished it in
plaster. All that he lacked was marble
enough for its translation into perma-
nency.
The outstanding triumph of Mr.. Bar
nards career, then, must be found In
the rich collection Of medieval statues
and carvings which he assembled at the
Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park, New York.
His concept of Abraham Lincoln, ex-
ecuted in bronze for the city of Cincin-
natl, was praised by Theodore Roosevelt,
yet was not an authentic success; his
heroic marbles for the Pennsylvania
State Capitol at Harrisburg were not
quite distinctive enough to justify his
hopes for public appreciation.
But perhaps it is too early to appraise
Mr.. Barnard as an artist. 1t may be
more generous at the moment of his
death to note his claims to remembrance
asa man. His gifts were attractive. No
one who talked with him even briefly
could forget the power Of his enthu-
siasms. He was forceful, plausible. con-
vincing in a Jovian manner. People adj
mired him for the poetry. the energy
and the faith that were in him. He
quickened the generation to which he
belonged and set standard of effort
and toll which should be helpful to those
who will follow.

The Haircut

The Haircut.
I used to kick about the way
That mother cut my hair.
She made it look like newmown hay
All scattered here and there.
I used to seek some distant nook
Far from the girls and sob,
Because that haircut made me look
Like a detected squad.
But now my wife goes out with me
To buy my hats and shoes.
The salesmen chuckle when they see
The things that she will choose.
The shoes are of the sportive plan.
High-silken Is the lid.
One end of me is clergyman,
The other college kid.
My neckties when we go to call,
All in our best arrayed,
Will cause the paper on the wall
To pine away and fade.
It fills my soul with dumb regret,
When my wardrobe scan
And think of all the laughs I'd get
Were I some other man.
My strange reflection I discern
With mutinous surprise.
To boyhood would fain return
And then apologize.
What though the neighbbrs laughed
aloud
And father dear might swear!
I would be grateful now,
And proud, II mother cut my hair!
