Arlington Foresight

Arlington County's adoption of a
new system of minimum lot sizes for
multiple family dwellings is a pro-
pressive step toward the preservation
OF the suburban nature of the coun-
try's development. The new regu-
lations, which become effective Sat-
urday. not only guarantee sufficient
breathing space and adequate land
scaping areas, but provide one Of
the surest checks against the erec-
ton of type of apartment and
mi-detached houses which could,
within few years, become veritable
slumS.
Under the new rules, semi-de-
tached houses must have minimum
OF $500 square feet for each family
unit; apartments must have min
imum of $500 square feet, with a
graduated scale depending on the
number of units. This will permit
the building of desirable apartments
and homes within the means of
moderate-income families, but it will
prevent the congestion of large num-
bers of family units in comparatively
small areas and will make apart
ment houses which are unduly large
Tor the nature of the community
impracticable. 1t will put an end to
the extension in the county Of four

Dear Sir:
Il think the gray and white bird
mentioned in your column by E. H. A.

tufted titmouse, as one of his many and
varied calls is piping Wheeler thrice
uttered. Sincerely, M. ]. R."
We think our correspondent must be
right about this.
All the birds have several calls 70
that it is a dif1cult matter to keep up
with them all, and especially to attribute
the right song to the right bird.
There Is not only a surprising variation
in the same songs. but there are many
calls which we hear which most Of us
find practically impossible to assign to
the right species.
Some of the birds even seem to be
initiating animals.
One Of the cleverest at this is the
starting.
The baby startling, rather gray crea. .
ture, lacking the spotty character and
sheen OF the oldsters, can make noises
of grating character exactly like those
MADE by an angry squirrel.
Have you ever heard the "crek, crek.
crek, crek,' of an irritated squirrel?
1t is sound unique, but the baby star.
ling can initiate it pretty we'll. Not ex-
actly, In any sense, but near enough
to fool you.
Squirrels indulge in this grating sound
whenever anything annoys them.
wandering cat even human being
will cause them to dart up a tree, hold
to the trunk some 10 feet up, and then
turn the head, after which this grating
sound comes forth.
A young starting, by the way, is a
rather irritating bird to the human bird
watcher.
Enough i'll has been spoken of starlings
in the past five years, so that we hate
to add anything to the number of stories
"panning" this species.
But the young startling is really bad
actor. He will perch on the edge of
the small feeder devoted to ground beef
and keep all other birds away-even his
own parents,
This while he is not eating. a veritabIe
dog in the manger," or as close to it as
you probably ever will see. Somehow
the poor dogs have got the worst of it,
over the years, in that famous fable.
Probably dogs are no worse at keeping
others away from food, even though they
do not touch it themselves, than most
animals.
Those particularly interested in bird
music will find it field Of study all its
own
Many books have been written on it,
some Of them good, some of them puz-
zlng. One of the most puzzling was
one issued just few years ago, in which
the songs were indicated by symbols, and
relative distances apart, both up and
down and across.

type of building which promises lit
tie for the future.
Arlington County is making rapid
strides in civic improvement in the
face Of concerted opposition on the
part of some groups. It has won
national recognition within the past
week for the progress made in elm
mating unsightly signboards through
application of local zoning regula-
tions, and the new movement to
control population density places 1t
in the forefront of progressive sub
urban communities.
These steps, wisely. have been
taken at time when definite results
can be obtained instead of waiting
until unwise building develops as a
permanent blight.

bird songs, or even identity them, from
this book, We do not know, although We
have studied it many times, in an effort
to get at the system which the author
has 50 painstakingly evolved.
Bird songs are, after all, musical notes,
or close approximations to them.
Most Of them can be played" on .
piano, although 1t must be admitted that
this instrument cannot sound In any
sense like q bird.
Even the violin, If used to render bird
songs, cannot do 1t properly. There is
something in the syrinx or vocal organ
Of the birds which naturally gives them
An utterly different texture and tonal
quality from anything else on earth.
X X
The human whistle, perhaps, comes
nearest to really initiating the birds in
their various songs and calls.
The United States has had, over the
years, some very famous bird imitators.
Until electrical sound recording came
into general use, there was no COMPARE
son between the work OF these whistlers
and the genuine thing taken down on
records. The whistled limitations were
better! We still believe that a genuine
artist at initiating birds can make 4
better record Of them than any we have
heard to date made by the birds them.
selves.
For all ordinary purposes Of bird study,
almost any musical instrument will give
some idea of these songs, provided one
has the ability to pick out or otherwise
play the notes as he hears them.
1t is helpful, in setting in ones mind
the pattern of these songs, to be able
to play them on some instrument.
1t is a fascinating activity, and has
engaged the services of some noted per-
sons, who have really set the bird songs
down on musical notepaper, always with
the understanding that while the pat
tern and sound of the uttered notes are
there, in measure, they are really not
there, after all, for no piano, for in
stance, can initiate the exact quality
OF the bird throat.
Our idea is that some OF these new
electrical instruments, in which vacuum
used for this purpose with success
There Is a fascina ting something in
the songs of the birds which repays
much study.
The basic preparation, of course. is to
listen to them, and this most of us can
do. If We really pay attention.
There are bird songs everywhere in
the summer. in city streets, in parks,
small and large, and especially in the
suburban sections
There are always bird songs, all during
spring and most Of the summer Some
of the birds which winter with us sing
for us during the cold. These are
famous musicians, these birds. Their
lives are wonderful operatic per-
formances, in which every bird is a
singer. Let us be glad that We can at

Labor Leadership

A high degree of labor leadership
has been exhibited by the Bricklay-
ers, Masons and Plasterers Inter-
national Union in coming forward
voluntarily and offering to police it's
local unions to prevent illegal build
ing industry restraints, on which the
Government is warning.
AS the result of this cooperation
from labor, which is being supple
mented by a pledge Of like assist
ance from an employer organiza-
tion-the Tile Contractors Associa-
ton of America-the Justice Depart
ment has dropped criminal proceed
ings, under the Sherman Antitrust
Act, against principals in the tile
industry in Chicago, and. instead,
has entered consent decree in
United States District Court by
which employers and employees agree
to end an alleged conspiracy to con-
troll that phase of the building in
dustry.
The international union was not
a party to the indictment, and there
fore was under no compulsion to
step into the Chicago case. Its off,
GERS, however, probably feel that
they have at least an implied OBJ
legation to require their unions to
abide by ethical standards and acted
accordingly. A settlement of cases
in st. Louis and Detroit, where the
Government also procured indict-
ments, now is in prospect on the
same basis as that in Chicago.
The attitude of the Bricklayers,
Masons and Plasterers is in sharp
contrast to that of other affiliates
of the Building Trades Department
of the American, Federation of Labor,
which have opposed bitterly the Gov
ernment campaign instead of seek
ing, through cooperative effort, to
remedy the conditions that bred it.
Its action, as Assistant Attorney
General Arnold points out, might
we'll be model for the elimination
of trade restraints by other groups,
for labor will profit by such a course
and the public will benefit cor

What sweet serenity my garden knows
The gleam of starlight on the sleeping

Suggests Lifting Ban on
Refugee Children.
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 tne Eoltor OF Inc STAR.
Why cannot the United States revise
the present restrictions, legal or admins
trative, that prevent our taking children
from the Allied countries into our homes,
away from Hitler's bombs? What good
is our sympathy if, because Of the red
tape in which we seem so securely
enmeshed, we cannot give tangible evi-
dence of our good will through actual
aid in this manner. Some say, Give
to the Red Cross" That still does not
stop Hitler's machine guns down refugee
lanes. Some say, Take some homeless
American child" I've tried that. The
District welfare organization turned
down fatty our request for child COM
panion for our son, on the sole ground
that I, the mother, am employed, despite
the fact that we have 4 lovely home and
adequate employed help to take care of
the children-1 even offered to put a
child in halliday nursery school with my
own son and pay the bill However,
believe that some British or French
mother would be glad to entrust her
child to my care for the duration of the
war. Some will say What about the
children when the Allies go down to
defeat?" I'd say keep them here and
bring their families if Hitler hasn't
murdered them before or after his
peace" America will need more of
the blood that flows in British and
French veins. Already populati tion ex-
perts in the Federal Government are
drawing large salaries for proclaiming
the woes that lie ahead Of America be-
cause OF declining birth rate. declin-
ing population, and the fact that around
1880 We will have top-heavy sged pop
ulation. All right, what are the argu-
ments against importing a few thou
sand youths who might or might not
