THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trace1DeH.

Geological Society disclosed yesterday.
1.-THE bird-a golden-fronted green
bulbul-would never have been acquired
by the ZOO, however, If it had not been
for the persistency and inquisitiveness
Of Edward S. Lloyd, New York stock
broker, who first discovered the bird one
Sunday last September while he was
working in the garden at the rear of his
home at 100 Hollis Terrace North. Yon-
kers.
"Mr Lloyd saw the bird sitting on the
limb of silver maple tree and was
struck at once by its green plumage.
He consulted bird books in his home
but could find no species resembling it.
1.-THE bird remained in the neighbor-
hood for several days and, meanwhile,
Mr.. Lloyd gave a description OF the
visitor to several ornithologists, among
them Lee Crandall, curator of birds at
the Bronx Zoo.
''Mr. Crandall was skeptical. He
knew that there were no local birds that
could be described as green and, be-
sides, he felt sure his informant was
probably color blind
Furthermore, it was not possible from
Mr. Lloyds description to identify the
bird as any one of the many foreign
green birds.
"Dismayed but undaunted, Mr.. Lloyd
kept on seeing the bird as the weeks went
by and continued his attempts to lden-
tify it.
"On Thanksgiving Day he was in
Alexandria, Va, at the home of his
mother, when he decided to pursue his
search at the Smithsonian Institution in
nearby Washington.
THE Smithsonian officials sent him to
the stuffed bird collection at the National
Museum and there he found a bird
labeled 'Chloropsis malabicus' that looked
almost exactly like the one in his back
yard.
Back to New York went Mr.. Lloyd to
put in another phone call to Mr.. Gran
dali. BY the Latin name the curator
recognized one of the bulbuls-a bird
which, he said yesterday, certainly had

garden at this season.
-
Last Tuesday Keeper. George Scott of
the Zoo went to Yonkers armed with
a snap-top trap, a can of meal worms for
bait, and a small cage containing the
Zoos own specimen of the golden
fronted green bulbul as decoy.
THE Yonkers bulbul-high in an apple
tree-saw the zoos nulbul and investi-
gated. Bang went the lid of the trap
and Keeper Scott marched off trium-
phantly
How the bulbul arrived in Yonkers is
still mystery. Mr. Crandall thinks it
may have escaped from some bird fan
cier's collection. He is positive it did
not arrive nonstop from the hills of
India"
So we see what can be done with
mealworms!
While none of us hereabouts may
expect to feed bulbuls, either in or out
the garden, we may be able to help
some wandering winter bird with royal
for bird-dish of mealworms in time
of need.
Evening star., 1940-12-18

Mealworms, which grow in old bran,
meal or flour. may be used In the garden
in winter to lure wintering songsters to
a feeding station.
Their propagation is easy, If one has
the mind to do it, and is not of f1nicky
disposition.
An initial supply may be purchased at
a pet shop, where they are used in bird
feeding. Some aquarists use them for
their larger cichlids.
The mealworm is really not worm
study is full of such mistakes as calling
something worm" when it merely
looks worm like
These beetles may he seen scurrying
around in batch of flour or bran which
has been kept too long.
1t is to prevent their coming that so
much flour has been denatured, that is,
deprived of the germ which the creatures
love to eat. o..
Even then, they somehow manage to
get in. The beetle lays eggs, and these
In turn hatch into the worms" which
spend about two months feeding These
yellow worms turn into white pupae. The
pupae sleep for time, and then become
the blackish beetles again.
This is another of the famous life
cycles. The worms may be bred in any
suitable container. An old aquarium is
good, since some moisture is necessary.
Corn meal is a suitable medium. A
thick layer of this is placed in the con-
tainer, say about 2 or 3 inches thick.
Then the mealworms, as purchased, are
introduced.
The top should be covered with a
raw carrot or potato.
1t is best to keep the top Of the con-
tainer covered with mosquito netting.
The beetles are very lively. Unless
you want them to go flying all over the
house, it is best to keep cover on tight,
but not so tightly that they cannot get
air.
1t is, of course, possible to feed simply
the worms" as purchased, since one will
not care to put them out at all times,
but only now and then.
If this form of food Is used for the
birds at feeding station in the cold, it is
a good thing to use a small shallow
cardboard box, with some bran in it.
This will protect the worms until
devoured by the birds. Nature is odd,
isn't it, but that's the way it is.
Bluebirds and Carolina wrens are
birds which welcome mealworms, if you
can give them supply just when they
arrive.
How to hit just the right time is an
other matter.
A correspondent sends in a clipping
from the New York Times, in which is
shown what may be done with meal
worms, when they are properly used.
How they were used to capture bulbul
and in Yonkers, of all places-is de-
tailed as follows:
"a rare bird whose native habitat Is
the hill country of India was captured
this week in a backyard garden in Yon-
kers and Is now on exhibition at the

to meet future British war needs
through a lending or mortgaging
arrangement requiring congressional
sanction is potentially helpful, as
suming that Britain survives the
invasion attempt which is antici-
pated this spring.
Details of the plan have not been
worked out. In broad outline, how
ever, as described by the President,
1t is contemplated that this Govern
ment would take over future orders
for Britain, making available to the
British such proportion of new
materiel as seems desirable under
prevailing conditions. These supplies
would be released under a leasing
or mortgaging arrangement which
would involve a "gentleman's agree
ment" on the part of the British to
repay us in kind, presumably after
the war.
This plan, If adopted, would have
the merit of cutting through legal
istic barriers which stand in the way
of direct assistance to the British.
For practical purposes, it is merely
a more circuitous way of making the
outright gifts which Mr.. Roosevelt
dismisses as being too banal-too
trite-but if the Presidents choice
of language or method should prove
irritating to some, it is important to
remember that the eXigencies of our
situation, and that of the British, call
for concentration OH the larger objec-
tives. If Mr.. Roosevelts scheme is
the best way of achieving one of
these, his use of provocative phrases
should not be permitted to stand in
the way of its adoption.
The greatest immediate problem
confronting this country and the
British, however, is not matter of
financial assistance. It is problem
of production, and Mr.. Roosevelt has
yet to offer any specific suggestions
for correcting our deficiencies in that
respect. If the Germans are going
to make a major effort to invade
England this spring, the British
stand in desperate need of guns,
planes and other r1ateriel that we
can produce in the next two or three
months.
Should this invasion attempt come
into being, the margin between de-
feat and victory for the British is
apt to be very small. Our present
80 per cent slump behind production
schedule for bombing planes might
well prove to be the decisive factor.
It is in this direction that our
need for strong and effective leader
ship is most urgent. Rebuking
reporters for making perfectly crazy
assertions when they ask questions
about possible reorganization of the
Advisory Defense Commission will
not do the job. If, as the President
suggests, existing laws stand in the
way of the exercise OF real authority
by this commission, some effort to
secure revision of these statutes is
imperatively in order.
This Nation, from every indication,
can make greater production effort
during the next few months if the
determination to do so is present.
But the inspiration for that increased
effort toward greater production must
come from the President. He is the
chief of state, and it is to him that
a willing, an anxiously willing people,
are looking for strong and effective
leadership.

way to warm the heart of any headline
seeker. The statement was perfectly
timed The President predicted what no
one else foresaW, third-term boomers
gloated in the election campaign soon
to follow.
Yet the man on relief could have read
in national magazine in February
Churchill practically predicting the time
of the war, and made his own wild
guess; as. in fact, many did-in and
out of politics.
1t may be the Chief Executives un-
quenchable flair for showmanship that
spurs him to give out enigmatic state
ments full of double meaning, that keep
'em guessing; that-if events work out
a certain way-would sustain a repute
for "infallible representation"
Take this years Warm Springs valedic-
tory: 'I1l be back = = = if the world sur

Such statement, unclarifed, need

mean he'll plunge country whose de-
Tense progress is begging down Gin all

age of billions) into a war? Or is it
innocuous, empty of hidden meaning,
provocatively phrased just to keep it
out of the rut?
The question is worth asking because
American politics, under present stand
ard-bearers," is daily becoming more
like European politics.
Less in the way of impulsive, hysteri-
cal outburts might reasonably be hoped
for from three-time political winner
who has no designs on a fourth term.
In preferring sense of balance, re-
straint and calm judgment, perhaps we
expect too much. These qualities and
a continued New Deal may not be pos
sible simultaneously.

Complains Of Inequity
In Coal Prices.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Have you heard the plea of the little
fellow who mines his coal on the noun
tain?
The mine owner and the union boss
have joined hands, demanded and gotten
from Congress and the President law to
fix them the price of their product for
the public good.
They have drawn a line and fixed
price on this side and on that, $3.50
here $3.05 there, no less can you charge.
For it is bad for the public to get coal
too cheap, you know
But what of the little fellow on the
mountain who mines his coal on the
$305 side of the line? He mines and
mines and piles and piles, but sells no
coal. For those who used to buy his
coal for 1900 now buy his neighbor's
across the line for $3.50. For who would
buy at $305 what he can buy for $3.50?

TO the Editor Of The Star:


have far greater potential strength, and
our own interest is immensely greater.
There are probably few Americans who
recollect that the first standard work on
sea power was that of an American flag
officer, Admiral Mahan. The book was
THE Influence of Sea Power Upon His
tory published In 1890. The Kaiser
was so impressed by it that he ordered
1t translated into German and distrib-
uted to all ships of the Imperial German
Navy
It would never have occurred to Ad-
miral Mahan to regard an ocean as
always, under all circumstances, a bar
rier He dealt, not in sentiment, but in
strategy. Strategically, an ocean is a
barrier or highway depending on the
balance of sea power and the intents of
nations.
The role of the Atlantic Ocean in fu-
ture history obviously will be determined
by the balance of sea power When, as
and If aid is discussed, it would presum-
ably be well to consider the possibilities
and the advantages of maintaining
favorable balance of sea power.
1t might be that Germany remembers
the principles of this American book
but that America itself has forgotten
the book. At least, we know that the
Germans are strategists. If we are to
think strategically, it will have to be
with range of vision wider than that
