News Review
BY GEoRG sTRANDvoLD

Twenty-Five years ago today the
United States entered that great war
which was to be the last, and which
was to make the world safe for
democracy. Since then there have
been ever so many wars, and more
elaborate preparations for the next
gigantic clash than have ever before
been seen, while democracy, far from
having become the savior of mankind,
is staggering and moaning under
the terrific blows administered to
it by systems of dictatorship so for
midable that their like has never
been seen.
Between democracy and dictator
ship the war is still on, as has be-
come evident anew through some
speeches and declarations made dur
ing the last few days.
Men of Munich.
A half year ago four men sat down
at table in the so-called "Fuehrer-
haus" in Munich and decided that
Czechoslovakia must surrender to
Germany those territories known as
Sudetenland. Whatever pain and
humiliation it caused the dismem-
bered country, it caused its mutilators
none. It was not their soil. Nobody
stepped on their particular toes. So,
they made what they called "the
sacrifice" that is, they postponed a
war among themselves-and let
Czechoslovakia pay the price. But
that was only the first installment.
The second and final one became due
in the middle of March, this year,
when the rest of Czechoslovakia was
gobbled up by Germany, thus ceasing
completely to exist.
The four men were Hitler of Ger
many, Mussolini of Italy, Chamber
lain of Great Britain, and Daladier
of France; the two aforementioned
were misrepresentation of the die
tatorial form of government; the two
latter, opponents of system of
democracy which then, and ever since,
found it expedient to yield to dicta-
tors.
Speeches.
During the last few days these four
men have been at it again, the demo-
Gratis striking somewhat different
attitude, for there is now-non-ex-
istent a half year ago-a direct threat
to their own interests; possibility
that their own toes may be stepped
upon.
In Rome and a number of Gala
brian cities Mussolini has been speak
ing about the necessity of releasing

Certain Kinds OF
Jobs On Upswing

Employment for girls, especially in
the housekeeping and resort jobs, is
on the upward swing, reports the
Minnesota State Employment Service
and girls seeking employment for
the summer months should avail
themselves of the free services of the
office in their community. The office
serving this vicinity is located in the
village hall at Sandstone, and is open
from 10 a. m. to p. m. each We'd
nesday.
Labor turnover for men in the
so-called white collar jobs has been
at standstill, but the skilled trades
have shown an increase. There is
a growing demand for good farm
hands at the present time.

Mr.. Tyrrell has photographed
eagles nests and taken closeup
pictures of the birds In various
stages Of growth. But he never was
attacked by a parent.
'"They just circle around and
scream at you," he said. Often, he
added, the nests are so protected
that a mother eagle couldn't swoop
down on 1t, but would have to light
nearby and walk in.
He was inclined to scoH at the
oft-recurring accounts of attacks on
children. Though he has tried dill
gently, he said, he never has been
able to authenticate an instance
where an eagle tried to carry away

Mr.: Tyrrells basement is fitted
up as q workshop. Here he brings
the carefully selected sections Of
trees which he cuts so skillfully into
bird houses. He sells these almost
as fast as he can make them. A
large Washington department store
carries a stock of them, though he
often makes them to order to fit the
ideas of a client. The basement
also contains his Photographic de-
velopment room.
Fastened to the tall, sturdy white

To Honor Memory Of
Father McDonough
Preliminary Work
On Fund Campaign
Is Completed

Sponsored by Georgetown Uri-

liminary plans were announced yes
terday for drive to complete the
building fund for the proposed gym
nasium and recreation hall on the
Hilltop as q memorial to the late
Father Vincent s. McDonough, 8. j.,
former moderator Of athletics.
Since the death of Father Nc
Donough on September 3, the Very
Rev. Arthur A. OLeary, s. j., presi-
dent of the university. said alumni
from all sections Of the country had
proposed that the gymnasium be
erected to the memory of "the one
man who had done more for ath-
letics at Georgetown than any one
else In its history" He has heartily
endorsed the plan and the forth
coming October issue of the George
town Alumni Bulletin will carry an
oficial announcement with indorse-
ments from prominent alumni and
former athletes.
The Georgetown Alumni Associ-
alton, under the leadership of Frank
j. Hogan of Washington, its presi-
dent, started collecting funds last
spring for a gymnasium and alumni
hall. The university's gymnasium
now is entirely inadequate and there
Is no suitable assembly room for
alumni gatherings. A considerable
amount already has been raised and
the site chosen is one of the fresh
man field in the rear Of the college
buildings.
The plan to name 1t the Nc
Donough Memorial Gymnasium, DR..
OLeary said, meets with practically
the unanimous approval Of George

Builder Of Woodland A potments for Birds
Takes Pictures in His Spare Moments
TyrreII Hos Secret
Location Of Eagle
Nests Near City
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

w. Bryant Tyr-ell o: 246 Park ave-
nue., Takoma Park, Nd, has, like
many another energetic and adven-
turous person, q vocation and an
avocation.
His vocation is building ingenious
food stations and lodging houses
for visiting birds, fashioned out Of
the natural wood, bark and all, and
shaped into an almost innumerable
variety Of designs. He sells these
woodland apartments to bird lovers.
He calls himself q bird CRATER"
His avocation is the study and
photographing Of bird life, on which
he is recognized as an expert. A
full page of some amazing closeup
studies of huningbirds which
his patient camera recorded recent
ly near Laurel. Nd, appears In the
rotogravure section Of The Sun
day Star.
Frequently, no doubt, Mr.. Tyr
rells vocation and avocation in
termingle, which should be an ideal
arrangement. In carving out his
bird cafeterias. and tourist camps
he's studying the feathered friends
which have fascinated him since
boyhood, and often his rambles
through the Maryland woods yield
photographs or scientific articles
which bring a certain commercial
return and thus border on his voca-
ton.
Paper Attracts Wide Interest.
The Takoma Park ornithologist
read a paper on owls at the session
of the American Ornithological So
ciety in Washington last year which
attracted wide interest.
And he can tell you a lot about
birds in this region that you prob
ably didn't know unless they happen
also to be your consuming interest.
For instance, few people, probably,
know there are half a dozen eagles
nests within 10 miles of the heart
of Washington. Mr.. Tyrrell knows
where they are. But they are his
secret.
If described their location" he
explained. people might find them
and drive the birds away"
Mr.. Tyrrell dug out some vivid
photographs of eagles whose wide
wings spread over secluded streams
almost in the suburbs of the Capital.
And eagles, he pointed out, live
almost entirely on fish, though how
they capture the fish is something
of mystery. Perhaps, he suggest
ed, most of the fish are dead and
have floated ashore, for the big
birds feed largely on carrion.
Can't Dive After Fish.
They can't, like fish hawks, dive
after fish," he remarked. Eagles
can't even light on the water with
out difficulty. once saw one light
