Those Greenbelt citizens who claimed vehenent1y
that should not write Congressman about how
want them to vote should read article the
rent Readers Digest by Bruce Barton, entitled nHow
to Write to your Congressman.
heartily commend ths article to everyone's at
tention. hope you will all read It. but for those
Who don'ts I shall here pass few Of his points
and advice
First, the points:
who make the best speeches, but those who oon-
scientious in their commit work and who do nst
neglect their mail. One who has been in Congress
20 years credited his to the fact that
he read every letter from his constit uents
swered them all wi thin ~ hours, If possible.
Congressman rely heavily on their mail for support
and guidance. Our letters have kept them in session
this sumner, in spite Of the election. In the Z is
that have brought heavy mai1 they have needed
our advice nine times.
Now, the advice:
1. Write short letters; write enough to show you
know what you talking about, and to indicate the
reasons for your opinions
2. Do not bother to sign and nail already pre-
pared (mimeographed or printed) statements.
3. Do not bother to sign petitions; If YOU are
really in favor of the subject of the Petition tell
your congressman directly. Petitions have been pref
ty thoroughly discredited, because it Is easy to
get people to sign them.
10 Te1egrms and special delivery letters not
preferable to ordinary letters; telegrams
Less desirable, since they Lack signatures
5. Write about speciH c bills and actions and
sign and give your congressional di stricts
Dc Be sure to address your letter to your own
CONGRESSMAN; the one in congress--not the has-been.
NOW Iake Leave OF NE Barton ana add a comment
Of NY There Is question that It Is We, the
voters, VINO potentially the strongest lobby
it Is who determine the future Of the Con-
gresaens There is also question that If We do
not assert ourselves, so-ca1led Hpressure boysH
with their lush expense accounts and their ingratia
ing personalities Will have clear field. All
sorts Of vested interests spend untold trying
convince Congress- that want what they want. It 10
up to US to say what real1y wants
Of course, that means must know what wants
And that means must our eyes for more than
reading the cartoons, and heads for than
timsting the chances Of the Yaneess Mctators rule
men who are blind, massertive followers. Democra-
cies require who we'll informed and self
assertives

Glacier Park Animals
In Excellent Condition

Glacier Park, March Is
National Wildlife Week finds the
game in Glacier National Park
in excellent condition. Old tim
ers in the park state that climate
conditions have not been as fav-
orable for big game since the
turn of the century.
Light SHOWS and mild temper
atures failed to drive the big
game animals to the lower levels
where they are usually limited to
small acreages of winter range.
Game losses during the pres.
ent winter are at a minimum.
A few of the decrepit ungulates
have succumbed. however, this
insures healthier and more Wig
orous animals.
The rest afforded the forage
plants in the winter concentra-
ton areas will result in more
food being available in these
areas during the ensuing winter.

Istanbul (Constantinople) is divid.

Pera-Galata on the European side
with the Golden Horn between
them, and Scutari on the Asiatic
side across the Bosporous. Stam-
boul is the Turkish city proper, and
Pera-Galata, the European quarters.

Constantinople is the Mosque of
Saint Sophia, the greatest Moham-
medan church in the world. Erect
ed in the Sixth century, it is beauti-
full despite the ravages Of time.

We Use Many Unnecessary Things

In the customary way of life man
has long been habituated to the
routine usage of various substances
and materials that are not physio-
logically necessary to his continued
existence Tea, coffee, alcohol, to-
bacco, opium and betal nut are sta
tistically among the more conspicu-
Gus examples, according to Johns
Hopkins university authority. It is
probably safe to say that over 80
per cent of all adult human beings
habitually make use of one or more
of the component materials includ-
ed in this group. All of them con.
tain substances of considerable
physiological potency.

H. G. Wells says: Wars come with
surplus populations
Whenever there are too many young
men,
With nothing else to do, nor any
place to go
Wars begin to happen in odd
places
1t has always been so, says Wells
Thus accounting for much of human
history
Civilized, and uncivilized-
Are war and peace
just the ebb and flow of the tides
of population?
Is war just as natural phenomenon
as peace?
Which of these two has taken up
most of the human life?
Is war a fever in the body of the
human race?
Or is it the surge of new energy

Sparrow Hawk Smallest,
and Is Most Attractive

When the handsome little spar
row hawk begins searching in fields
and meadows for insects, the land
owner should feel grateful that his
property has attracted such useful
bird.
The smallest and the most bright
ly colored of North American
hawks, the sparrow hawk (some-
times called the grasshopper or
mouse hawk, prefers insectivorous
food to everything else. If insects
are not available the hawk will turn
to mice and an occasional small
bird, says a writer in the Chicago
Tribune.
It's an easy species to identify
because of its size. No other hawk
measures just ten inches over all.
And no other hawk sports such gay
colors. The upper parts of the bird
are bright chestnut, and on the head
gray, black, brown, and white are
blended into a beautiful color pat
tern.
Before it strikes the sparrow
hawk poises absolutely motionless
with wings and tail spread as if
some tricky air current were hold
ing it in midair.
The sparrow hawk, aside from
its size and bright colors, also has
another characteristic which sets it
apart from other hawks. 1t is the
only species that commonly will
nest in a hole in tree.
The little sparrow hawk is an op-
portunist. If insectivorous food is
not abundant it turns to something
else. When English sparrows are
plentiful it is reasonable to expect
the hawks to go after them.
