THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles z. TrdceDeH.

age to get along, in this respect; cats,
in particular, wash themselves per-
sistently.
Birds are subject to many diseases.
Every one who has kept a canary knows
something about some Of these troubles,
the average persons knows nothing about.
People have an idea that nature is
supremely healthy, and she is, indeed,
In particular cases, but when the run of
animals are considered, there is quite as
much sickness among them as among
human beings. The difference Is that
they must suffer in silence. The hundred
and one small ailments which they have
they must keep to themselves, whereas
human beings can and do talk about
their own troubles.
Animals in a state OF nature rustic
around in the grasses and thus wipe off
dirt and germs.
Showers give them baths, whether they
want them or not. Some creatures even
swim, and thus take baths.
Birds deliberately bathe, just as
humans do.
Nor are they sketchy bathers, in any
sense. They bathe long and well and
will go back to the bath several times
a day.
They even take mud baths" in the
form of dust baths, which no doubt do
them more good than liberal applica-
ton of talcum powder TO the human
epidermis.
While it is probably best to clean out
a birdhouse, after the nesting season, the
birds will do 1t themselves, in some cases.
1t is useless, generally, to expect
a succession of nestings in one house
over the season.
Certainly there is nothing in nature
akin to the idea of a succession of ten
ants in rental property.
Since bluebirds nest very early, they
probably will be the first occupants and
the last of any house designed partic-
ularly for them. AS every one knows,

larger than for a house designed for
wrens.
English sparrows are the main species
which contend with the bluebirds for
houses, since they, too, nest very early,
in early March.
Wrens cannot contest a site, either
with bluebirds or sparrows.
Later in the spring and in the summer
there are few species in this vicinity
which will occupy such houses, most of
them preferring to nest in bushes and
trees.
You can build houses for about 20
different species but We doubt that many
Of them would be occupied in the average
garden. You must give the chickadee
an entrance of quarter of an inch
larger than the entrance for a titmouse,
according to the books-but Jenny Wren
can get in either house, and does,
whereas you probably won't ever have
a chickadee or titmouse nesting in
your yard.
If you do, let us know.

Uncertain Barometer

AAAS OiN dddSCy hS WdlIlc
goes, so goes the Nation" has been
rather thoroughly discredited in
three presidential election years
1892, 1916 and 1936-but that will not
prevent the Republicans from deriv-
ing substantial aid and comfort from
yesterdays balloting in the Pine Tree
State.
Generally speaking, it is the per-
centage of the Republican vote in
the Maine State election and not the
result of the balloting that may be
relied upon as guide to national
political sentiment. Ordinarily the
Republicans have lost the preSiden-
tial vote in the country when their
September vote in Maine has fallen
below IS per cent of the total,
and on that basiS-judging from the
result of yesterdays gubernatorial
contest-an extremely close national
contest may be anticipated in No
vember.
With COL of Names 629 precincts
reporting, Sumner Sewall, Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, polled
64.5 per cent of the total vote. That
compares with only 81 per cent p6lled
by the Republican gubernatorial
candidate in 1896
Supporters of President Roosevelt,
however, may be expected to base
their calculations on the result of
the senatorial contest, in which the
Republican candidate, Representa-
tive Ralph o. Brewster, polled only
a fraction under so per cent of the
total vote. 1t is worthy of note, how
ever, that Mr.. Brewster was running
against Louis J. Brann. former
Democratic Governor of the State,
who polled 40 per cent of the total
vote in the 1886 senatorial race, losing
then by the narrow margin of 1900
votes. Mr.. Brann, campaigning this
time as an ardent New Dealer and a
strong supporter of third term for
President Roosevelt, was beaten by
more than $4,000 votes
The Maine election this year was
complicated by several factors. One
OF these was State political scandal
which had caused most Republican
leaders to doubt that they could de-
liver substantial majority for their
party's slate. So uncertain was the
political outlook considered that the
Republican high command turned
a deaf ear to appeals that Wendell
Willkie speak in the State, as Alf
Landon did in 1886. 1t has also been
reported that the Republican ma
tional organization, desiring to avoid
a test of Maine as political barom-
eter this year, sent little or no money
into the State. Having all these fac
tors in mind, it may be assumed that
the G. o. P. Strategists are surprised
as well as pleased by the Maine vote.
There Is one remaining circum-
stance, however, which political
prophets should not overlook. That
is the size of the total Maine vote
about 100000 this year, as against
$1,000 in 1886. The Republicans will
attribute the light vote to the fact
that it rained steadily yesterday,
while the New Dealers may be ex-
pected to contend that 71,0O0 Maine
voters stayed home because the
Presidents popularity was not di-
rectly at issue. The November bal
loting will determine which version
Is correct.

To the Editor Of The Star
No doubt your readers saw an ad-
vertisement in your issue of September
4, paid for by the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
the "ad" being captioned Dictator
Roosevelt Commits an Act of War" fol-
lowed by an editorial from the Post
Dispatch under their date of September 3.
The newspaper in question has for
long time assumed that it represents,
through its editorial columns, the senti-
ments of the people of this section, and
that furthermore it is strong molder of
public opinion, when, as matter of fact,
its influence is immeasurably less than
its publisher and staff presume. Lest
uninformed persons in the East be de-
luded 1t would be well to call attention
to the fact that in recent years the
efforts of the Post-Dispatch to select
desirable candidates for public Office for
the guidance of its readers has been
wholly and utterly disregarded by the
latter. AS evidence of this fact it may
be said that the primary election for
various offices held throughout the State
last month brought an overwhelming de-
feat for the slate which had been Sc
lected by the Post-Dispatch, only a few
minor local candidates of its slate being
successful. RALPH PETERS.

Warns Of Danger
From Goddess Writer'S"

To the Editor of The Star
1 warn the American people to be on
their guard against certain goddess writ
ers who make dire predictions of calam-
ity to America at the hands of other
nations. These writer's would have us
believe that America will be conquered
unless she arms as heavily as Germany.
They put all their trust in material
engines of war and none at all in Gods
power working in the souls of patriotic
Americans, strengthening their hearts,
enl1ghtenlng their minds and making
each American an army in himself.
Listen to what very wise and very
famous man said two or three thousand
years ago: This wisdom have I seen also
under the sun, and 1t seemed great
unto me. There was a little CITY. and
few men within it; and there came
great king against it, and beseiged it.
and built great bulwarks against it. Now
there was found in it a poor wise man,
and ne by his wisdom delivered the city;
yet no man remembered that same poor
man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than
strength; nevertheless the poor mans
wisdom is despised, and his words are
not heard. The words of wise men are
heard in quiet more than the cry of him
that ruleth among fools. Wisdom is bet
ter than weapons of war; but one sinner
destroyeth much good"
America needs wise. strong, upright,
skillful leader at the helm of the ship of
state: man like David, King of Israel,
or King Solomon his son; man who will
say boldly and confidently, when their
judges are overthrown in stony places.
they shall hear my words, for they are
sweet" CHARLES HOOPER.

Antitrust Division Probes
A.F.L.-C.I.0. Dispute Here

The Anti Trust Division of the
Department of Justice is investigat-
ing the jurisdictional dispute of A.
F.. OF L. and c. I. o. afiiliates which
Friday caused a walkout of A. F.
OF L. workmen on an elevator in
stallation project at the State De-
partment Building, The Star learned
yesterday.
The case has been referred to
Walter R. Hutchinson, special as
sistant to the Attorney General, in
the Antitrust Division.
The walkout occurred when Sam
Merando, subcontractor on the prof.
ect, put c. I. O. workers on a brick
job for which, he said, the A. F.
OF L. refused to furnish men. The
A. F.. of L. men participating in the
walkout were employees of other sub
contractors engaged to do various
parts Of the elevator installation
project.
In several instances in recent
months A. r. of L. construction
unions here have refused to recog-
nize a new G. I. o. building trades
union as a Legitimate" labor or
ganization. This non-recognition
led to inter-union picketing of two
establishments in the 1900 block of
F street.

MILK AND EGGS
BODY BUILDERS
BEST FOOD FOR GROWING CHILL
DREN, SAYS NUTRITION
SPECIALIST
Fruit and Vegetables Also Important
Articles of Diet for Every Member
of Family and Four Servings Daily
Are Required.

When children are growing fast
and playing hard, they need foods
that will produce strong bones and
teeth, build tissue, make red blood,
and furnish energy. But children's
dummies" are small and quickly
filled. So every bite they eat must
be as full of food value as possible.
Milk is the most economical source
of the materials needed for growth,
says Bessie E. McClelland, extension
nutrition specialist at Montana State
college. Eggs are also excellent body
builders-rich in proteins, vitaminS,
and minerals. Diet plans of the Fed
eral Bureau of Home Economics recon-
mend from three to four glasses of milk
a day and at least four to five eggs
a week.
Fruits and vegetables are also i'm
portant, and at least four servings are
needed for every member of the FAM
lily during the day. Cereals are another
must in the well planned diet. Whole
grain cereals are especially important
for their vitamin and mineral content
Lean meats are suitable for children
once a day. And Miss McClelland sug-
gests that the meat dish be liver or
kidney or sweetbreads sometime during
the week.
If sweets do not take the place of
more important foods, they may be
served as special treat at the end of
a meal. Desserts that the entire fam
lily will enjoy are custards, puddings,
ice cream, fruit sherbets. plain cookies
and plain cake. Dried. canned, or fresh
fruit also makes a wholesome dessert
