broadcast with such regularity that
no child, no matter how absorbed
with one more berry, dares ignore
the message.
To his mate he is gallant and a
most excellent provider. He finds
her favorite food and calls to her
in the sweetest of notes. Sometimes
she is so busy making her toilet and
preening her feathers just once
more she delays answering. The
song floats up to her dressing room
again and again without a trace
Of impatience, and finally she joins
her devoted spouse. If danger
threatens his loved one, the male
cardinal risks his life that hers may
be spared. Their devotion to each
other is wonderful to observe. To
all who have had the joy of having
a cardinal come to the feeding tray
IN winter, and watching his amaze
ment at seeing his reflection in the
window pane, another winter does
not come too soon, to repeat the
experience.
So many know the lovely uniform
OF our cardinal that we hesitate to
repeat it here. The rich cravat of

JobIess Tax Reduction
For District Urged

In an editorial appearing in the
current issue of the Property Owner,
official publication of the Building
Owners and Managers Association
of the District, businessmen are
urged to support a proposed act of
Congress that would permit the
District Commissioners to reduce the
rate of unemployment compensa-
ton taxes.
The editorial states:
During the three-month Pc
Rod ending September 80, last, H.
604 businesses of the District of Co.
lumbia paid into the local unem-
ployment compensation fund 81 $685.
412.34. During these same months
only $299, ,146.50 was paid to out-of-
work benefciaries. In other words,
for every dollar paid by a tax on
pay rolls, less than 20 cents was
paid to workers out of jobs. Even
a slot machine gives a better break
than 20 cents on the dollar.
go For almost four years the
employers of Washington have been
paying close to 50 for every 81

Council Suggests
Drinkers Blood Test

Chemical tests to determine
whether drivers and pedestrians are
under the influence Of liquor have
been recommended by the National
Safety Council.
The group has suggested the fol-
lowing standards: A blood alcohol
concentration in excess of OILS per
cent should be considered conclusive
evidence that the driver was under
the influence; below 0.07 per cent
concentration the driver should be
considered free from alcoholic in
fluence" and between these two fig
ures additional evidence should be
considered to determine whether the
driver or pedestrian was drunk.

so noticeable to those familiar with
the habits of this beautiful bird.
The cardinal male is an ardent
suitor and a faithful mate. His
close attention to family duties has
won for him place in history and
novels. Another lovable quality is
complete lack of fear when duty
calls. AS matter of fact, the car
dinal has an air of not being
troubled about small things. Could
a bird so beautifully clothed feel
less than ready to lead those of
timid nature to open places where
an abundance of food is spread be-
fore them?
Out on our lawns, in the fields
and in the berry patches the first
to arrive and take possession is the
cardinal. And when his young chill
dren are ready for their first les
sons on "how to get your living in
an efficient manner" nothing daunts
the young father in his efforts to
make the lesson an impressive one.
When danger threatens, Father
Cardinal is no less alert upon this
all-important matter. Warnings are

Red, white and green are a COM

when they are united in a picture
showing a brilliant red cardinal in
an evergreen tree with a field of
snow in the background, what else
could an artist at heart desire?
The cardinal is one of our cheer
full winter visitors. In the South
he is looked upon as one of the most
aristocratic of all the birds, and
he has more virtues and accom-
plishments credited to him than he
actually possesses. Perhaps the

First Essential Is Water
Water is the first essential. A
conference was held Tuesday at
which Supt- w. A. Kunigk of the
water division explained to the
commissioners what is planned for
extension Of high capacity mains
into the district. He estimates it
will cost $4,000 for materials and
engineering if suitable mains are
laid for about 1000 feet through
the area in mind. Labor would be
planned as WPA project.
However, there is also the mat
ter of a long projected marine

through this and adjoining Sec
tons. Several important private
real estate projects are being held
back until the exact location of
this drive, connecting with No

selling off the lots for enough at
