FAST FALLS CHURCH, Va.

Dear sir:
Il have read with much interest the
editorial comment on the experiences OF
G. ]. o. Of Hoban road. My gardens
now alive with spring flowers, are located
In a two-acre clearing and surrounded
by enormous pines and dogwoods.
For over year family Of rabbits
have made their home under my front
porch and during the recent and very
severe winter after all of the natural
vegetation was frozen for weeks their
source Of food supply was reduced to q
minimum.
Il made an examination of my gar
dens and found they had not only
chewed the tops from the Madonna lilies
Oriental poppies and nibbled few per-
ennials, but had accomplished a perfect
Job Of pruning the rosebushes.
AT first I was hurt, until realized
that 1t was q service, rather than an in
jury, since the freezing winds could do
nothing but harm to the longer stalks.
Il bought roll Of wire and extended
1t with wickets around the lilies, which
are again coming forth, and the roses
are sprouting new branches from the
base and appear to be none the worse
for their experience.
Recently I have seen two young rab-
bits feeding on the lawn, since the grass
became plentiful within the week. Chip
munks, squirrels and other wild creatures
are equally welcome to my hospitality
as are the wild birds, all have added 50
much to my erstwhile lonely residence in
the woods that actually feel they are
my very own.
MY toWhee and others who winter in
the South have all returned and now nv
picture is again complete.
Sincerely yours, o. E. c."
One of the dangers, which our corre-
spondent has successfully surmounted
OF feeding the birds, is that one will
come to resent the presence of other
creatures.
But these others, as SO we'll pointed
out. are as much guests as any, and a
perfect part Of perfect picture.
Some amateur gardeners at first think
that only flowers should be allowed in a
garden. Some extremists even resent
trees! But that is an apartment" atti-
tude OF mind, which soon gives place to
better realization that nature is large,
she contains multitudes, as the poet said,
The worst Of all garden bores is the
one-plant bore. He takes such a fine
thing as the rose. for instance, and
turns 1t into a nuisance by pretending
that no other material is worth while.
We do not mean, of course, the rose en-
thusiast who just likes roses best of all
That is O. K. Every gardener has a
right to his hobby. But the real rosarian
Will have place in his heart, too, for the
gladiolus and the peony and the pansy
and many another.
Even the most obtuse gardener sees In
time the large and happy role the birds
play in his yard.
He realizes that they not only add i'm
mensely to the picture, but do a real
service to him by keeping down the in
sects.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdcewell.

So he becomes q bird enthusiast, too,
but II he does not watch himself, he will
find himself going through the human
activity Of liking and hating. Now these
are natural psychological reactions, but
1t is mans psychology, or mind, which
has brought him to the pretty pass he
has arrived at today. He has permitted
the hating side Of the picture to over
balance the liking side. You scarce can
kill something when you like it. but it
may be easy enough when you hate or
think you hate 1t to permit some one
to tell you that you hate 1t or at least
ought to hate it.
In your own yard, keep the likes and
dislikes balanced, with the accent heav-
lily on the liking side.
This way lies garden sanity. 1t Is
none too common an attainment, as most
persons know. The bird lover resents
the pigeons and even certain species of
birds.
Wild animals which wander in come
within the scope Of his hating and may
we say hateful tactics. He resents too
much and does not admire enough.
Admirations are only possible. we be-
leve. If we have artistic minds. That
Is, we naturally try to see something
picturesque in everything. This is not
hard, at all, provided you love lines and
angles and harmony and circles and
color and perspective. We do not mean
that you must be painter or sketch
artist, but at least you must have some
thing Of their own relish for the way
things look. Too many people 20
through the world without realizing this
beauty of line and form. They take for
granted too much.
If you are artistic, you have the whole
garden world, not just part of it. at
your finger tips, and this means eve tips,
TOO II you are artistic, you like more
II you like more, you become more artis.
tic. Persons who narrow themselves by
set hates and dislikes cannot be said ia
be artistic. They are the worlds true
and only plebians
X X
Rabbits seem to do a great deal of
damage.
1t is easy to look at one ruined stalk
and think of an entire spoiled garden,
but he or she who does this fails to give
credit to nature for much and long range
knowledge.
She, In other words, does not permit
things to be ruined so easily. The rab-
bits gnaw, but often, as our correspond
ent found, the animals are merely prun-
Ing the rosebushes!
This is the economy of nature of which
Ue have heard so much.
Undesired guests at the feeding sta
tlons often contribute amusing and hap
py pictures. 1t will be found that the
animals In the garden get along very
well. If let alone. Man is called upon to
interfere very little If he lets alone
and watches, he not only has more and
better looking, in pictures and situations
or moving pictures, but he has a far
better comprehension of nature. Since a
garden, large or small, is a portion of
nature. If We will just let it alone and
not interfere too much with it we get the
whole picture by admiring to the best O,
our ability. 1t takes patience, but pa
tience adds to understanding.

Thinks Socialist Aims
Fall Short Of Goal.


To the Editor Of The Star:
In today's issue of your paper the Sec
retary Of the Young Peoples Socialist
League lists his reasons for attacking
things in general-production for profit,
inequalities in income and lack of eco
nomic democracy-the last of which he
claims will be cured by the trade unions
(He does not mention the power Of trade
unions to throw men out Of work as well
as put them into 1t, but suppose that's
beside the point)
Well, perhaps he is right. It may be
that all these panaceas we hear about
really will work out. Who knows? How
ever, not being as optimistic as your
correspondent, I personally have my
doubts. Unless, of course, the Socialists
and Communists and Government con-
trolists, ETC., can figure out . scheme for
real equalization-the equalization Of
brains-a more Just distribution of tai
ent-with just dash OF genius perhaps
to carry each one of US along.
Now II they can frame up something
like this I'm all for them-for 1t would
seem to me to be really . cure. For It
looks Ike real Justice. real equality

Suggests Giving Germany
Dose Of Own Medicine.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Not long ago We had a Dillinger who
was killing and robbing indiscriminately.
and finally our Government authorities
had to hunt him like a wild beast of
prey and put an end to his lawless oper-
ations Without our police force no
home or individual in the City of WASH
lngton would be safe from molestation.
Now. we have great family of ma
lonesome orderly and others disor-
derly. Just how long are the 'law-abid-
Ing" nations of our world going to toler-
ate others OF this great family becoming
outlaws and carrying armed invasions
and wholesale slaughter into peace-lov-
ing and uberty-loving nations about
them?
Only until these same liberty loving
nations form League Of Nations" with
some backbone and power to enforce the
right, can we be free from such horrors
as have disgraced our century: Japan
China. 1taly-Ethiopia Germany-Aus-
tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland and Nor
way.
Is the world to experience, every gen.
Grafton or so. an example of wars in
sanity by the slaughter of hundreds of
thousands Of men, the destruction Of
millions Of dollars worth of property
and the development of bitter hatreds
among these warning nations?
To allow such nations as Japan, Italy
and Germany to re-arm, when once dis
armed, would be about the same as our
freeing our life-termers and arming
them to do what they pleased among our
people. Germany wants her colonies
back. If she had behaved herself she
never would have lost them. If her
country is ever treated as she has treat
ed Poland she will lose her taste for
despoiling her neighbors. She needs an
overdose of her own medicine. That
would really have curative value"

Veterans Pension Bill
Arouses His Ire.
tn fhA Hdifop ~ THE Ga,

To the Editor OF The Star:
The latest proposed war veterans PEN
sion grab is now before Congress. One
more sop to be thrown to a minority
pressure group.
Under present conditions of Federal
finances, the only way known to the
writer to secure the millions Of dollars
necessary to pay these proposed pension
increases would be to rob our children
and grandchildren. Would that be hon.
orable or patriotic?
Congress should defer consideration of
pension increases until they can be in
cluded in q balanced budget.
The November election should weed
out every member of Congress who votes
for the Rankin bill.

"a ths EAitor NJ The Sfar:

With all the different suggestions be-
ing offered every day on how to stop
the war, it occurred to me that If all
the automobile manufacturers in the
United States would tool up their equip
ment to produce 100000 airplanes per
week in place of 100000 autos, we
wouldn't have to send any of our boys
over there to teach Hitler & Co. lesson.

and others have so merged with nearly
related bands that they have lost their
identity.
This is particularly true, he points out,
of the Indians of Oklahoma, who now
are more or less tribally disrupted Max
ing special check on this area he found
there were remnants Of IS historic tribes
still extant there. They are the Greek,
Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Semin-
ole, Seneca, Quapaw, Modoc, Ottawa,
Eastern Shawnee. Peoria, Miami, Wyan-
dotte, Usage, Pawnee, Ponca, Kiowa,
Cheyenne, Apapaho, Iowa, Potawatomi,
Kickapoo, San and Fox, Comanche,
Cadoo, Kiowa- Apache; Fort Hill Apache,
Wichita. Otoe, Kaw, Tonkawa, Delaware,
Tawakoni, Waco and Ioni.
Some of these still remain powerful
groups, speaking common language
and maintaining tribal unity. Others
can be said to be extant only because q
few old persons scattered among the
other Indians still speak the tribal Ian
guages.
The greatest conglomeration of tribes"
is to be found in California.
It would be impossible today, DR..
Krieger says, to make up any statistical
total Of tribes which would be generally
acceptable to ethnologists. The classif-
cation depends too much on the point Of
view of individuals.
Even when the Indians had the North
American continent to themselves, he
points out, it would have been rather
dithcult to have made strict tribal
classification because Of the borderline
cases. In the final analysis, it prob
ably would have depended on the opin-
ion Of the Indians themselves.
