THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trdcepell.

There can be no doubt that they do
not have any abstract ideas of cleanI-
ness, as human beings have
If bird bathes, it must be simply
because it wants to; if it wants to, it
remains in long, it does not mean that it
is cleaner than a bird which flies out
Immediately.
Another small one, the song sparrow,
which also winters hereabouts, bathes in
a very elaborate manner The favorite
of this species is the bath sunk in the
ground.
We watched song sparrow bathe
for minutes one sunny afternoon. 1t
went in time after time. We have for
gotten exactly the number of times, but
think it was 48 separate baths, each fol-
lowing after the other with Just few
seconds between

Several years ago in this column a
reader raised a small controversy by
stating that cardinals must be dirty
birds, since they did not bathe.
Immediately scores of correspondents
leaped to the defense of the purity Of
the redbird.
1t happened that we had never seen
cardinal take bath, either, and said
so.
The very next day, in looking out into
the garden, we saw cardinal cleaning
in the pedestal bath. Topping water in
all directions.
Since then. we have seen many cardi-
nails bathe. Their ablutions are not
long, but they seem to do a good job
of getting wet all over.
Cardinals like to fly through the fine
spray of the garden hose. The gardener
should be careful to turn the nozzle to
the finest possible spray.
Six young male cardinals were in the
yard the other evening.
They were in various stages of get
ting their full red plumage.
These birds of the new crop are fine
fellows, indeed, with their variegated
coloringS, with bits of red here and
there, mixed with faun and other tints
This was just before dark, one of the
best times to watch for birds. The
young males were spread over the grass
hopping around, looking for freshly
planted grass seed. There is no better
way to attract birds to yard, by the
way, than to plant grass seed. The only
trouble with this method Is that it i,
rather expensive.
Cardinals are among the most faith
full wintering birds in this entire vicinity
If they are provided with plenty of SUM-
flower seed they will be glad to take ur
their headquarters in your yard. Otter
in suburban areas when the snow is or
the ground it is not uncommon to see
nine pairs of cardinals in a yard at one
time. Against the snow they make 6
brilliant sight, and one which no house
holder should miss.

Off-Street Purkinq

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee introduced yes
terday a bill which its SponSorS-the
District CommissionerS-and many
other officials and private citizens
believe will pave the way for effective
relief of some of Washington's major
parking problems. This measure
would give the Commissioners au-
thority to create a motor vehicle
parking agency of seven members to
carry into effect the proposal of
Captain Whitehurst, director OF
highways, for municipality operated
off-street parking facilities. The
agency, composed of representatives.
of the District Department of We
hicles and Traffic, the Federal Works
Agency, the National Parks Service
and the local citizenry, would be en-
powered to develop comprehensive
off-street parking program, with
particular reference to the White
hurst plan for a series of public
parking areas or garages on the
fringe of the downtown section.
These parking centers would be
linked with the principal Govern
ment buildings by shuttle buses. 1t
Is the expectation of advocates of
the interesting plan that the total
cost of all-day parking and of shuttle
bus transportation can be kept to
fifteen or twenty cents day.
The fringe parking proposal points
the way for return to fundamental
principles of highway use, as enun-
ciated in ancient court rulings
against converting "the kings high
way" into "a stable" With the rapid
development of automobile transpor-
tation and the growing shortage of
off-street parking accommodations,
it has become customary to use many
of the city's streets as public parking
lots or garages. This practice, made
necessary by the lack of adequate
off-street parking facilities, has clut-
tered main streets with parked cars
and brought a train of resultant
evils, including double parking, rush
hour bottlenecks and accidents. The
time has come for the municipality
to take effective steps toward solu-
ton of the parking problem. The
proposed enabling act would provide
the machinery for attacking the
problem In a thoroughgoing, intelli-
gent manner. It Is to be hoped that
Congress will expedite passage Of
this important legislation.

Revision or Repeal?

Statements within the past twenty
four hours by Secretary Hull and
Senator Tom Connally, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, indicate that administration
forces may concentrate on modifica-
ton rather than outright repeal of
the Neutrality Act. Secretary Hull
told reporters that he favors revi-
sion of the law, but he did not specify
in what manner he wished to see it
changed. Chairman Connally, in an
address last night over the National
Radio Forum, recommended repeal
of the provisions banning the arming
of merchant ships and prohibiting
them from delivering supplies to
nations at war. There are indica-
tions that the President may be
content to ask Congress only for
elimination of these two major re-
strictions on movement of our mer-
chant marine-for a return to our
traditional policy of freedom of the
seas"
Some supporters of the Presidents
foreign policy believe it would not
be harmful and possibly would be
worth while to retain on the statute
books some of the miscellaneous pro-
visions of the 1889 law. They include
those creating a Munitions Control
Board and setting up a licensing
system for export Of arms to foreign

powers, forbidding unlawful use of
the American flag at sea, excepting
Red Cross ships from war zone re-
strictions, restricting loans by private
citizens to belligerent governments,
regulating the solicitation and COL
lection of war relief funds, prevent
ing ships from ferrying war mate
rials to belligerent ships offShore,
regulating travel by American ma
tionals on belligerent ships, laying
down rules for entry of submarines
and armed merchantmen into our
harbors and lifting neutrality re-
strictions in the event of an attack
on an American republic.
Most, if not all, of these provisions
could be applied when necessary by
executive action under general
grant of authority. This would pro-
vide greater flexibility of action in a
given emergency. While the admin
iStration may encounter less oppoSi-
ton to modification than to repeal,
there is one all-important considera-
ton in favor of complete abolish
ment of the miSnamed act. Outright
repeal would have a distinctly salu-
tary psychological value. 1t would
bolster the morale of every nation
now engaged in desperate combat
with aggressors. And it would serve
further notice to the Axis that
America is more than ever deter
mined to throw off all restraints and
see that the battle of the democracies
Is carried through to certain victory.

The Bridges Case

In a calm, measured appraisal of
the activities of Harry Renton
Bridges, the alien seaman who be-
came a power in the American labor
movement, Judge Charles B. Sears,
presiding inspector for the Justice
Department in deportation proceed
ingS, has found that the Australian
born official of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations is subject to
expulsion from this country for men,
bership in the Communist party.
BY documented evidence and from
the testimony of known principals
in the movement, Judge Sears de-
veloped that the Communist party is
IAN organization that believes in,
advises, advocates and teaches the
overthrow by force and violence of
the Government of the United
States" and is therefore prescribed
by the Alien Registration Act of 1910.
That Bridges, president of the
LongShoremen and WarehousemenS
Union, has subscribed to these doc
trines is made equally clear by a
recital of a series of incidents over
the past nine years that served to
identify him with the Communist
movement. Included was reported
admission on one occasion that he
was a CommuniSt-a statement he
denied making, but which, as Judge
Sears points out, he did not seek to
refute by supporting testimony that
presumably was available.
"VieWed as isolated instances"
Judge Sears explained, II do not
consider such items of evidence as
establishing the aliens membership
in or affiliation with the Communist
party or its subsidiary organizations.
In my judgment, however, these in
stances viewed as whole form pat
tern which Is more consistent with
the conclusion that the alien fol-
lowed this course of conduct as an
affiliate of the Communist party,
rather than as a matter of chance
coincidence"
1t is the second time that deporta-
ton proceedings have been brought
against Bridges for his reputed Com
munist tie-up. The first case failed
two years ago, as the law could not
then take past membership in the
Communist party into consideration,
and the Government was unable to
show current affiliation. Even at its
present stage, however, the case un-
doubtedly has long way to 20, with

DAVENPORT STREET.

Dear Sir:
1--WE had some guests the other eve
ming, and we all got to watching the
birds at our feeding station, and talking
about them, and one guest, who is one
of these know-it-all persons, said that
chickadees never bathe.
"Is that true, that chickadees never
take baths? They are such fine little
birls, and look so clean, that I cannot
believe it. If course as would happen,
I was not able to contradict Mr.. Know
it-sll from personal observation.
II must confess that have never seen
chickadee bathe, but feel sure they
must do it, just as all birds do. I would
appreciate your advice on this matter.
With many thanks, I remain
Sincerely yours, K. L. O."
Fortunately for our correspondent, we
saw chickadee taking g. bath just the
other day.
1t was around 4:3O of the clock The
sun was out, but there was no sunshine
in the corner of the yard where the
pedestal bath stands.
The water had been permitted to get
down to about u inch deep.
This bath is about inches deep. That
is deep enough Probably it is too deep
for chickadee. At any rate, we had
never seen one bathe there before.
We heard him in the branches of the
shrubbery, making his typical "chick-a-
dee-dee" sound.
Then he lit squarely on the edge of the
bath.
Would he hop in?
If he did, it would be something new
In our experience.
In he went!
There was furry Of wings, Topping
of water
And out of the bath, like shot, flew
the cheerful chickadee.
He was in the shrubbery again in a
flash, perfectly pleased with his bath
of a seconds duration.
This was TIE speediest bath we ever
saw bird take.
1HeIe WAS no question: Ol llCOHlpleIe-
ness about it, however.
The bird itself was satisfied, and the
onlooker was satisfied, too, certainly sat-
| isfied that the bird had done his full
duty by himself in the matter of per-
sonal cleanliness.
Every one knows what quick, happy
little fellow the chickadee is. Many
bird observers say he is their favorite.
| 1t is only natural that such a tiny
fellow would take very small bath, as
it were. There would be no necessity for
the Tapping and Hopping which many
larger birds indulge in.

After all, do birds bathe for cleanl-
ness, or for some other reason?

chances favoring its ultimate settle
ment by the Supreme Court.
The cry of persecution already has
been raised by ardent Bridges sup
porters, and it probably will be in
tensif1ed now that he has lost the
first round in the deportation fight.
The record set out by Judge Sears,
however, will serve only to strengthen
the general opinion that the Gov
ernment in the past has been too
tolerant of Bridges and his kind.

Thinks Money Is Worth Guarding
When Being Transported.
To the Editor of


1t is most amazing that bank officials
will send out two boys to transfer a
large amount of money these days with
out adequate protection!
Most bank officials probably provide
better protection for their funds than
the Hyattsville bank did.
The Government does not transfer
money in such careless manner.
If two armed plainclothes men, mount
ed on motorcycles, had trailed the
money car, the bandits would never have
gotten away with the loot.
If I remember correctly, Hyattsville
experienced another such robbery not
long ago. Such things also have hap
pened in Washington, when unarmed
boys were sent out with money. 1t is
worth having police escort when
transferring other peoples money, it
seems to me.
Remember what Ben Franklin said
about Experience keeps a dear school
~ I won't quote the rest of 1t,
as 1t is not very flattering
Let us hope the police may appre-
hend the bandits, and that money will
not be transferred so carelessly again.

Calls for Sacrifices" to

"Wean Germans from Hitler.
To the Editor of The Star:
Peace might be brought appreciably
nearer if we would offer to make GER
tain sacrifices for it.
The time is at hand to begin an in
tensive campaign to wean the German
people from Hitlerism. The Eight Points
constitute the foundation for such a
campaign, but only through sacrifice can
they be translated from abstract prin-
ciples into concrete proposals which
conceivably might sway the German
public.
The Germans feel they were tricked
into accepting Wilson's Fourteen Points
We can convince them of our sincerity
this time only by offering to make def
mite and substantial sacrifices for peace,
preferably authorized by Congress, such
as: Cd Completely reverse our tradi-
tional high tariff policy, perhaps through
an expanded trade agreements program,
so that Germans and others are guaran-
teed fair share of our markets. (2)
Raise immigration quotas slightly, as
gesture of good will and an example to
less thickly settled nations. 90 Take
our full part in world government de-
signed to further international justice
and maintain law and order-even to
the extent of resisting postwar acts
of revenge upon Germany.
The instant we are ready for these
sacrifices, that fact and our determine
ton to block Hitler's march toward
world domination should be driven home
to the German people-if necessary by
alternating bombs with pamphlets.

How well I recall that June day in

Objects to 6 Per Cent Limitation
Without Regard to Skill, Etc.

To the Editor of The Star:
No doubt all business would be de-
lighted to get per cent on investment
If the investment of money were all
that is necessary to bring 6 per cent.
But this is but one factor in the return.
Two contractors will start side by side
under the same conditions and with the
same amount of invested capital. One
will profit largely. The other will go
broke. To confine the permissible re-
turn entirely to the money invested is
to stif1e and penalize skill, knowledge,
inventiveness, energy, enthusiasm and
vision, while it tends to lessen the total
ultimate profits from which all taxes
must be derived.
