WORK OF GLAND EvOKES PRASIE
 OF DIPLOMATS
ItaIy's Foreign Minister, Not Vet B, Proves
 His Mettle
By STEWART BROWN United Press StaR Correspondent


 Rome. (UP)-Still holding the title of the worlds youngest foreign minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano al Cortellazzo, Fascism's No. 2 man, soon will complete his third year in odice-in itself almost another record in Italy.
 In March, Count Ciano will be 36 and in June he will have been foreign minister three years. He has traveled far in these years, and even his critics grudgingly admit he stands first in line as Premier Benito Mussolini's chief understudy.
 From all appearances Musso- lini is pleased with the record of his son-in-law. He has carried of successful diplomatic missions to Berlin, Budapest, Belgrade and has conducted himself skilfully in many delicate negotiations in Rome.
 Foreign diplomats speak highly of Ciano. Those who on his ap- pointment dubbed him a 'glorifled messenger boy" now admit their error. His boyish looking appear ance was and still is misleading.
 Fulfills Difficult Assignments
 Ciano works hard at his job, and his three years as foreign minister have matured him con- siderably. Mussolini has assigned him some difficult tasks. It was Ciano who prepared the ground work for the creation of the Rome-Berlin axis. It was Ciano who handled all the delicate ne- gotiatnois connected with the Spanish crisis and the conclusion of the Anglo-Italian accord. It was Ciano who successfully nego- tiated an understanding with Yu- goslavia which ended a long feud between the two Adriatic neigh borS.
 Nevertheless, Ciano has a good time being foreign minister. He likes to exchange stories with visiting diplomats. He loves pos ing and being photographed, al- though he photographs poorly Like the Duke of Windsor he is a tie-twitcher. He wears his military cap at rakish angle and has a hard time keeping his chin thrust forward in the Mussolini fashion. Like many married men he has trouble getting his wife, Edda Mussolini, to leave parties early when he knows he must get up early the next morning.
 Unlike Mussolini he is an indif- ferent sportsman. He swims well and likes to pilot fast motorboat On the beach he wears 8 pair ot brown shorts which have seen better days. He speaks English French and German fluently.
 Journalism His First Love
 Count Ciano like his father in law, was a journalist before ht entered public life. Born in 1903 son of Admiral Costanzo Ciano young Galeazzo studied law Tot young to fight in the World Wal he joined the Fascist movement al the beginning and devoted himselt to journalism. He loved the pro. fession and it only was on tn eex. press wish of his father that ht went into the diplomatic service ir 1925.

Sen. Carl Hayden
Assures Funds For
Experiment Station

Arizona lumbermen, cedar post
producers and livestock growers
are jubilant over assurances of U.
s. Senator Carl Hayden that he
will obtain federal funds to pre-
vent curtailment of activities by
the Southwestern Forest and
Range Experiment Station at
Tucson.
The appropriation for mainten-
ance of the Station is contained
in the Agricultural Department
Appropriation Bill due TO be taken
up by the Senate Appropriations
Committee next week, the Senator
advised R. H. Kennerdell, presi-
dent Of the Corva Cedar Products
Company. The amount to be pro-
yided for Investigations of low
lands hardwoods under which the
Tucson station operates was re-
duced when the house passed the
agricultural appropriations bill.
But Senator Hayden wrote Mr..
Kennerdell: T believe there viii
be no particular difficulty about
restoring to the bill the reduction
made by the house but it may be
difficult to secure an appropria-
ton of additional funds over the
total amount estimated by the
budget" Senator Hayden's confid-
ence in his ability to restore the
house reduction is regarded as an
assurance the Tucson Experimental
Station will operate on the same
scale as 1t has for several years.
Under direction of DR.. Arthur Up
son, the stations staff has been
finding new uses for hardwoods
of the Southwest and applying
scientific methods to improving
range conditions. Senator Hayden
obtained the original appropriation
for the station at the request OF
Arizona's lumber, cedar post,
cattle and sheep men. He has
succeeded in obtaining additional
appropriations for its maintenance
in view of the benefits accruing
to several state industries. Among
the many studies of the expert
mental stations scientists and
field observers is the extensive
investigation made of the dura-
bility Of cedar posts and their
practicability for use along state
highways.
It is largely due to tests con-
Quoted by the stations staff that
Thomas H. Mcdonald, Chief Of
Bureau of public roads at Wash
ington, advised Senator Hayden
that Cedar posts are commonly
used on federal aid projects.
"The use of cedar posts is now
provided for in the standard
specifications of the Arizona High
way Department" Mr.. Mcdonald
wrote Senator Hayden. "And it is
our understanding the department
will continue to specify cedar
juniper posts in locations where it
is practicable and where the fire
hazard is not serious
Senator Hayden has devoted con-
siderable of his time in successful
efforts to obtaining federal assist
ance for Arizona's lumber, cedar
post, cattle and sheep industries,
according to Mr.. Kennerdell.
Representatives of these in
dustries and the thousands OF Ari-
zonans dependent upon them for
their livelihood, as we'll as the
merchants who benefit from their
prosperity, "Kennerdell said. "owe
a lasting debt of appreciation to
Senator Hayden for his un-tiring
work In their behalf.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace1DeH.

The morning chorus Of the birds Is
only heard to perfection In the deep
country or in such suburban sections
the intangible country to be the real
thing.
This is beautiful music, almost fine
enough to merit the bee youthful
phrase adopted by some enthusiastic
persons.
Adjectives, indeed, here as elsewhere,
sometimes play havoc.
Too large use of them often preju-
dices case, and bird study has suffered
too. 1t is natural enough for women to
admire the songsters, and equally nat
ural for some of them to overdo their
praise.
1t is unfortunate when a real herman
happens to hear some gushy person
going on" about bird life.
Bird life is not 'gushy," in any sense
Bird life is as real and as earnest as our
own; it has its problems and it's tri-
umphs; the more one looks into It, the
more he sees that the lives of bird and
man are not SO vastly different, after ALL
1t has been the happiness of this COL
umn to write great deal about birds
during the past few years, and the equal
happiness to find that the subject made
an instant hit" with a great many
readers.
1t may prove of interest to some to
know that of the hundreds of letters
have been from men, including hard
boiled Army officers. Government clerks,
doctors. men of high and low degree.
The beauty of bird study is that it is
open to all, on equal terms.
1t requires two things, the desire to
look, and the actual looking.
Each is highly important. The famous
open mind, in other words. 1t is amaz-
ing how many sensible persons cut them
selves off from something interesting
because of way of thinking.
Amateur bird study is particularly
good because it is open to men, women
and children in equal degree.
So don't let any sort of inferioritv
complex hold you back from having
this fun.
The housewife in her kitchen has time
to look out the window, even while she
is drying the dishes. at the colorful
songsters on the branch Of the locust
tree
The man of the house, while going to
work, can enjoy the songs of the birds
by driving slowly enough to hear them.
Children are taught bird study in
school, and with their bright, alert minds
profit amazingly from the subject No
doubt in 10 to 20 years there will be no
one left SO oldfashioned as to think
that bird study is "sissihed."
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1939-04-06
Add false masculine beliefs:
That bird study is "sissif1ed.


That bird study is "sissif1ed"
No, mister, it is mostly a matter of
location.
Take your rankest male parsonage,
and let him move to the suburbs, and
pretty soon he begins to tell the boys at
the Office about the beautiful cardinal
which wakes him at dawn
He doesn't say "bee-you-t iful," as the
ladies sometimes do.
But he is almost as enthusiastic-and
this the fellow who once imagined that
there was something queer about inter-
est in bird life!
Again, no.
1t is just a question of where one
of cases.
OF course, there are certain persons
born to like the birds, just as there are
men and women who like to fish from
infancy, or want to play the piano.
Most people, however, and in the term
people" we must include the ladies,
find that amateur interest in birds is
a product of their later years.
They grow up in city, let us say,
know English sparrows and robins at
sight, and these are about all.
They have heard about bird life from
others, but to them so far it has seemed
subject rather bizarre.
Then comes that first suburban home.
Immediately nature enters their front
door,
Nature enters at the windows, through
the very walls. She appears in the
yard in the form of squirrel. Next
she comes as Towering shrub. She sends
the rain, which becomes something Gpe-
cial, in suburban sections, not just a
rain, as it used to be in the CITY,
Not that there are not gardens in the
city. 1t isn't that IT is mostly that
so many city people, for one reason or
another, pay SO little attention to ma
ture at their door.
1t takes suburban or real country liv-
ing to make the members OF this class
open their eyes to brdland.
Birds are extra dividends.
They pay large, too. not in money,
but in the JOY of living.
At first the newcomer, especially If
he moves in the spring, may be in
clined to object to the strenuosity Of
the early morning bird chorus.
How the birds scream!
They fairly roar, waking him at 4
am, the little beggars.
AS time passes, he finds, almost TO
him own amazement, that he is wax
ing up of his own accord to listen 10
them!
At first he may not admit this, even
to himself, but it has happened SO many
times, to so many persons, that there
can be little doubt about the process.
