Having the entire City Of Hender-
son as Bird Sanctuary is compar-
able to bail team having rpecta
tors. The efforts oh the part of the
citizens to protect the birds are
backed by the city officials.
Until the Henderson Bird Club
was organized about two years ago,
those who wanted to have birds at
their own homes could do so only to
& certain extent, because, always,
they had to watch to see that boys
did not come on their premises to
shoot the song birds. Now every
one knows that the city does not al
low anyone to kill song birds. In
fact, some of the boys who used to
shoot song birds have become so in
terested in studying them that they
do not want to kill them. They
have learned their true value.
When I joined the bird club !
knew very little about birds-thyeir
names and their calls, now I am able
to identify quite a number of them
and am able to recognize many of
their songs or calls. In my Scout
work feel better qualified to help

Rails Want Control
For All Carriers
Continued From, Page One)

merce, as we know, has been investi-
eating the situation for some time
or late it's been listening to expert
witnesses. Said witnesses disagree
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as they are
on the one hand railroad owners or
creditors; on the other, water car
rierS or truckmen.
Back Into History.
IL requires glance into rather an
Gent history to get the point of the
controversy between them.
Back in an almost prehistoric era.
when we had no railroads to speak
OF except part of the way westward
across the continent, we did have a
little inland transportation. Boats
chug-chugged up and down the Ohio.
mississippi and Missouri rivers. l can
remember when there was quite
some shipping on the Big Muddy.
Such streams weren't improved.
Boats ran on bars, were torn by
snags and had all kinds of trouble,
but they did their darnedest.
Then the railroads broke in and
knocked the props from under that
primitive system. But the rails were
frightfully greedy. They were eff
Gent but they got themselves hated.
They likewise enormously overdid
their various capitalizations. Folks
began saying, eve must re-devolp
our inland waterways, to counter
act such brigandage." 1t was a slow
job, but progress was made with it
gradually. Channels were dredged
out; river navigation began to be
serious railroad menace. Thus quite
a crimp was thrown into the rail-
roads.
Then the auto made its appear
ance. It wasn't a serious railroad
worry at first, for there were no in
ter-city highways to mention, but
now we have them everywhere. I
don't know how much cheaper the
auto is than the railroad for freight
shipments, for I'm not freight ship
per, but I do know that it's about
one-half cheaper Though not as com
fortable) as rail passenger Transport
tation. Another railroad crimp!
Railroads Mistreated?
Now, the railroads maintain that
they've been mistreated
They represent that they built
their lines, which were vastly cost
ly.
The water carriers didn't build
their waterways Their waterways
have been scooped out and develop
ed, but essentially they were a gift
of nature-not avenues that the pub
lie had to pay for.
AS for automotive roads? the
public footed the bill-and the buses
aren't entitled to use them "free
gratis for nothing"
Nub: If the railroads want relief,
they can't get it by a reduction in
their own rates; they've got to get it
by an increase in the rates of the
water carriers and the truckers
charges.
That's why they want a new in
crstate commerce commission
AS a consumer:
''Do you like the propositions"
It'll help the railroads.

- NCE there was doctor. He was
young doctor and not very success
~ full one. Few patients came to his
door, and those who did hadn't much money.
So in his spare time the young medico
wrote stories. He even sold one or two for
small sums. He liked writing, though even as
a second-string occupation it was not very
profitable. But one day he opened note
book and in the silence of his empty consulting
room wrote at the top of page the title
Study in Scarlet. Then, after several trials,
he chose the name for the hero of his story:
Sherlock Holmes.
1t was the beginning of one of the best
known characters in literature - and of
great success for the unsuccessful doctor.
Was it fluke when Conan Doyle's second
string proved best? As a matter of fact, it
wasn't. The greatest tales in our tongue have
been told by men who turned to yarn spinning
from something else.
What are the best-known characters in
English fiction? CULVER, the creation OF
quar1elsome, discontented, unsuccessful cler-
gyman Pickwick out of the brain of
parliamentary reporter (and starting Oft, IN
parliamentary style, as the report of meet
ing) Alice in Wonderland, the fancy of
mathematics instructor =. . Robinson Crusoe,
immortalized by man who had lost fortune
in unsuccessful wholesaling and manufacture
ing ventures You can extend the list
almost at will.
The second-string principle goes far beyond
fiction. Biography? Boswell was an unsuccess-
full lawyer History? Macaulay didn't like the
law, either Travel? Doughty would have
been naval officer except for an impediment
in his speech. Philosophy? Emerson hated
schoolteaching, turned to preaching and re-
signed his pulpit because he couldn't go along
with his congregations views Poetry? Keats
was drug clerk and Shakespeare himself
stock company actor. Yet each achieved i'm
mortality playing his second string.
But, you say only few people, out of the
uncounted millions who try, can write. What
about other second strings?
Well, they have proved strong enough to
lift people into immortality in nearly every
form of human endeavor.
Art and music, to be sure, usually claim
their successful practitioners from childhood,
though Whistler started to be soldier and
Bach was educated as lawyer.
The professions, too, require so long
technical apprenticeship that only rarely do
people gain worldwide fame in them after
late start. But the Chief Justice of the United
States began life as schoolteacher.
Science is something else again. Ideas,
ingenuity, the inquiring cast of mind will
make man scientist, whatever else he may
have started to be- Newton began life helping
his mother on farm - and wasn't much
help Darwin prepared for medicine, for which
he was untitled by nature, and then studied
for the clergy until his health gave out.
Asa Gray, the great botanist, was another
who started on the path of medicine. And
Albert Einstein was for years teacher and
an examiner of patents at Berne. 1t was the
second or even the third-string occupation in
the life of each of these men that proved best
Evening star., 1939-11-26

to railroad telegraphy and the airplane would
have been long in coming if the Wrights had
been content with bicycle repairing.
Business, of course, is anybody's second
string. Many of the biggest corporations IN
the United States were built up by men who
came to business organization through other
channels Judge Gary of United States Steel,
was a lawyer, Walter P. Chrysler railway
mechanic Sears Roebuck is monument to
man who began life as station agent. 1t was
brought to its present fruition by man who
began his career as manufacturer of Womens
clothing. The biggest salary earned by any
corporation executive during 1898 according
to reports published last spring. was paid to
motion-picture magnate who started life in
this country as an immigrant in the junk
business, salvaging metal from ships and
industrial plants.
These are people whose names are house
hold words Some of them will be remembered
as long as our civilization holds together -
because they played successfully the second
string.
Dur there are others, uncounted thousands
of them, in every walk of life, who have
changed occupations without achieving fame.
Happiness and success on modest scale are
their rewards - and who wants more than
that?
A man in Massachusetts, lost fine job -
and broke his hip in the bargain. While in the
hospital he hankered for his great enthusiasm:
good clam chowder. And when he got out he.
started a business in clam ChoWder and other
New England foods - started with ten gal
Ions off the home stove. Now he is pros
porous manufacturer of prepared foods. Two
New Jersey boys. tired of stop-gap jobs,
managed by prodigious daring to set them
selves up as orchid importers. prosperous
maker of specialized optical instruments began
that work as hobby A man in Texas started
raising four-eaf clovers as hobby - now
ships them all over the world in ten-thousand
lots They had the courage to step out, these
people, in new and exciting direction and
they made their courage good.
So if you are unhappy or unsuccessful, or
both at what you're doing now. don't feel you
you chose first Indeed, that is the surest way
of going deeper into the slough of despond.
You can escape You can do it by playing
second string that is more in line with your
natural bent. You may not become an inn
mortal at it. but if you really love it you have
an excellent chance of attaining modest sue
cess - and happiness
Pick, then, the thing you like most to do,
the thing at which success has come easily
when you practiced it as a hobby or an
avocation Think it through thoroughly. Make
a start with it - even if it is only as an
evening or week END occupation. Keep at it
until it begins to move, until it grows and
gathers strength to itself. And when you can
see (as you will if you really love and under
stand your choice that it will bear the weight
of supporting you, don't hesitate to trust
yourself to your second string. It's chance,
an adventure, but it's likely to prove the most
successful one you ever undertook.
