Nearby Election

A record turnout of voters, the
defeat of Walter Johnson and of a
proposal to set up a new form of
county government in Fairfax and
successful use of voting machines in
Montgomery County were among the
high lights of Tuesdays election in
the nearby counties.
While there were some local con-
gressional contests and issues that
helped to stimulate interest, the
record vote in the nearby area, as
elsewhere, was primarily due to the
intense interest in the presidential
race. Like the rest Of the country,
too, the area recorded a preference
for President Roosevelt and the other
Democratic candidates, although the
Presidents margin of victory in
Montgomery County was compare
lively slim, only 1,454 votes, about
half the lead he had there in 1886.
The lead which Representative
Byron, Democrat, received in that
county over Republican Walter john
son was even less than the Presi-
dents. Mr.. Byron's margin in Mont
gomery was only 529. The vote in
the presidential and congressional
races in Montgomery is indicative Of
the large independent" vote there,
despite the tremendous majority OF
registered Democrats. Mr.. Johnson'S
failure to carry Allegany County,
normally heavily Republican, was an
important factor in his defeat. His
reverSes in that county were attribut-
ed in part to the opposition of labor
groups. The popular baseball hero
will remain in public life, however,
as he still has about two years to
serve as member of the Mont
gomery County Board of Commits
sioners.
The margin by which Fairfax
voters defeated a proposal to set up
a county executive form of govern
ment was decisive, about four to one.
The plan would have created a
county executive as the Fairfax
administrative officer and combined
certain existing posts. In view of the
heavy vote against the plan, which
might be interpreted as an indorse-
ment of the existing system, it will
be interesting to note whether pro-
posals to change the Fairfax setup
to any other system are advanced in
the near future.

nipulating a convention" but many
former adherentS saw it and de-
serted his cause" most of the mai
contents joining the Clay-AdamS OPP
position to form the Wing party.
And the Wings in time evolved into
the Republicans.
Meanwhile, Van Buren, was elected,
as Jackson had insisted he should be.
But the panic of 1887 spoiled the new
administration. Van Buren'S oppoSi-
ton defeated him in the hard cider"
drive of 1910. The loser sought
solace in a visit to his sponsor at the
Hermitage in 1912 and lived to favor
Abraham Lincoln in 1860. He died as
the Civil War he had dreaded became
a bitter reality. Curiously enough,
he belonged from first to last to the
same Hudson Valley gentry of which
President Roosevelt is a member.

Just as the feeding station got well
under way for the day, big hawk few
over, attracting the attention of both
observers and songbirds alike.
The hawk is an elemental fear among
all the smaller birds.
1t is, to them, not merely an omen of
danger-it is danger, itself.
No sooner had they sensed the shadow
above them, than the birds few away,
deserving instantly the food of which
they were so fond.
Away they went. in all directions, but
no two in the same direction.
1t is amazing, how quickly a busy
scene at bird feeding station can be
broken up by the momentary arrival Of
q hawk.
There is nothing permanent about the
big birds visit
Just how or why one happens to come,
is difficult to say; in most yards, hawks
will not appear more than once or twice
year
Usually such a visit comes in cold,
clear weather, most often when snow is
on the ground.
Can this early hawk visit presage an
early winter?
We fear so.
Vultures, kites and hawks are seen
in this vicinity.
They include the turkey Vulture, or
buzzard, the black vulture, the swallow
tail kite, the marsh hawk, the sharp
Skinned hawk, Cooper's hawk, American
goshawk, red-tailed hawk, the red
shouldered hawk, the broad-winged
hawk, american rough-legged hawk,
duck hawk, pigeon hawk, sparrow hawk,
and fish hawk.
Hawks with long pointed wings and
long tails include the sparrow hawk,
smallest of them all; the duck hawk, the
pigeon hawk, and the gyrfalcons.
Hawks with short rounded wings and
long tails are the goshawk, Coopers
hawk and the sharp-shinned hawk
Those with broad wings and broad
rounded tails include the red-tailed
hawk, the red-shouldered hawk. the
rough-legged hawk and the broad winged
hawk.
The study of bird silhouettes is fas-
cinating pastime for all persons in
terested in bird life.
"a Field Guide to the Birds" by Roger
Tory Peterson, published by Houghton
Miflin, the famous Riverside Press Of
our childhood days, is built on the plan
of silhouettes.
While this plan is best for ducks and
other water birds, it also offers in
teresting sidelines in bird study of all
kinds. When applied to the small song
birds, it loses some of its point, unless
colors are given.

Cites Description of Night
In London During Wartime.


Perhaps some readers who sympathize
with Britain in her hour of trial would
care to read this paragraph from a letter
written by my aunt in London, Septem-
Der IT: Last Sunday night was surely
the most beautiful night the eyes of man
could behold-an atmosphere of silver,
millions of stars twinkling above and
ali round and such a moon sending its
platinum rays far and wide and so still
that even in this great city, you could
hear a pin drop. Into this Godgiven
night comes, as if on the wings of Satan
and his angels, hideous noise of planes
and a letting of odious flames that
would fill any decent mind with sick
disgust for, though man is a fallen
nature, it is pitiable to see him fall so
low as to desecrate Gods beautiful night
in an attempt to destroy his self-made
enemy. Up to now people had no feeling
against the Huns, but they will grow
more erect and more firm in their resolve
to resist the satanic fury. Really, you
should see the courage and energy and
intelligent kindness of the citizens of
this fortress to realize the priceless gifts
God has given to man and to realize
how death itself is so much sweeter to
this race of people than is enslavement.

feeding birds, which, as suggested,
vanished almost instantly.
Just where they went, we did not
know, nor did the hawk, for 1t circled
slowly over the block, at about 1000 feet
elevation, scarcely moving its wings.
1t seemed an airplane, as, indeed, it
was, with a most wonderful internal
combustion" engine all its own.

Desiring to keep the hawk out Of the
neighborhood, we got an umbrella,
rolled, and held it up TO the shoulder,
gun fashion, pointed up in the air at
the hawk.
1t must have seen what 1t took to be
mans evil instrument Of war, for 1t
began to fly higher and higher, going
easily to the north; inside of few
seconds 1t was lost to view behind a
great oak a block away.
They are beautiful birds, these hawks,
no matter what mankind thinks of
them. AS matter Of fact, the ancient
hue and cry against them is wholly
unnecessary. They have been proved
to have real place in the scheme Of
nature, and scarce to merit the I'M
restricted warfare which man formerly
made against them. Those who use the
gun should make a careful investigation
Of the subject. 1t is best to abide by the
decisions Of experts, who declare that
only few species deserve harsh treat
ment.
In the air, and on the perch, hawks
are beautiful birds.
In fight, they have a grace and bold
outline which attracts every eye.
On the perch, their carriage is Won
derful to behold.
So II one Of the hawks happens to
visit tree near some place where you
have established feeding station for
the songbirds, accept the opportunity
for studying it, before you try to drive
it away.
Feel sure that the songbirds will be
well out Of the way, probably perched in
vines and shrubs. trying to keep as still
as possible.
The hawk looks down proudly over its
rounded UTedSJ, Will Tile DdCk VI us
neck well arched.
This carriage is more upright than
that of most birds, reminding one Of the
perfect poise Of some human being who
happens to possess it.
No doubt in humans it is simply a
combination of good health and perfect
muscles. Children who were urged to
stand up straight" seldom did it, not
because they did not want to-, but more
because they did not have the muscular
structure to make it easy for them.
Today this situation is handled better
by the simple expedient of saying
nothing and at the same time building
up the child's muscles by proper food,
including the vitamins, plus a we'll
rounded program of exercises and sports.
A hawks very life is exercise. Nobody
has to remind it to stand straight"
because If it doesn't. it doesn't eat, and
so dies. Its pose is part of its will to

Spain Seizes Tungier

The formal incorporation of Tan
gier into the Spanish Zone of Morocco
is an event of considerable impor-
lance from several angles. 1t greatly
strengthens SPANS hold over the
Straits Of Gibraltar; it complexities
Britain's problem of maintaining the
Rock as a naval base, and it ends a
most interesting experiment in inter-
national government.
SPANS present action is the logical
end of a process Of encroachment be-
gun last June when Spanish troops
entered Tangier just before France
collapsed and capitulated. Ever since
then, the Spanish military regime
has been taking series of steps to
confirm its occupation. Today, the
last vestigeS of the international ad-
ministration have been abolished.
Tangier's strategic Importance
leaps to the eye for even the casual
tourist. AS one sails through the
Straits of Gibraltar, coming in from
the Atlantic Ocean en- route to the
Mediterranean, the mountainous
coast of Morocco rises bleakly from
the sea. At one point only is there
a spacious bay, back of which good
sized city of white houses rises like
terraced amphitheater some dis
lance up the mountainous back
ground. That is Tangier.
Since ancient times its good har-
Dor made Tangier the logical port of
entry into Northern Morocco, while
its strategic location on the straits
rendered it a valued prize of war. AS

Complains About Condition"
At Sheridan Monument.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Thirty-one votes against the New
Deal were cast Tuesday because the
citizens who cast them were moved
thus to file their protest against the
disgraceful condition existing at Sheri-
dan Circle in Washington.
If one of the Photographic staff of
The Star happened to visit the site, he
would find: A high fence around part of
the Sheridan memorial statue, which
fence has been there for months. What
ever may be planned at this point has
been ION order" it would seem, for a
long time.
Gen. Sheridans memorial is, indeed,
a near-discard for the present. The
voters to whom reference has been made
happen to know something of his
achievements as a cavalryman. Nine
of the number had forebears in his army
in the closing engagements of 1865.
