its Regional Defense Councils, has
provided for the establishment of a

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. TrdcetoeH.

1t shrieks forth its defiance to the world.
The blue jay might have made better
bird symbol for America than the eagle.
1t is determined, full of pep" a
traveller and above all a conversation
alist.
The jay, as a good American, wants to
talk things over.
He is never content just to fly down
and get himself something to eat.
Here GOMEZ" he screams, first of all.
Then he does not go into the feed box
directly. That is not the way be does
things. He must argue about it. He
must talk it over, with himself, If he can
find no one else to listen to him.
Then he flies in, seizes a seed, and
flies out again and when he finally lands
in his chosen tree, before he eats it he
must give another big scream OF def
ance to the listening world.
The jay has so many calls that many
listeners never suspect him OF half OF
them. At times he almost purrs, SO
softly he whistles; at others, he makes
a noise which sounds for all the world
like a wooden rattle whirled around by
a small boy on holiday.
~
Care should be taken in erecting a
bird feeding station, to make sure that
there are no loops Of wire or cord left
for birds to get caught in.
1t is amazing how often birds get
caught in such loops.
They are able to perch on almost any
small bit of wire or cord, and sometimes
they twist themselves around so with
q sudden motion that they are unable to
get their rather large feet loose.
The moment bird thus feels a pull
on its feet it becomes frantic in its
efforts to escape.
The more it struggles, the tighter it
becomes wedged in.
Sometimes bit of wire is essential in
erecting feeding station, but if it is
used every effort should be made to
make it fiat and tight, so that there is
no way for songster to get caught in it.
All forms Of spikes and sharp points
should be kept out of feeder construc-
ton. There are on the market feeding
stations which incorporate a meat hook,
which is nothing but a large fishing
hook.
This addition is not only not neces-
sary, in this vicinity, but positively inim-
ical to the wintering birds. 1t would
attract only hawks and other undesir-
able birds, and run some risk of impaling
the smaller birds.
If bird is once caught in this way,
nature makes no other provision for its
escape except its own struggles. Other
birds cannot help it. 1t is one Of the
failures Of bird life.
A bird caught on a spike or in loop
Of wire or vine does not live very long
after it manages to get itself upside
down with its head hanging down.
There is little chance, In such case,
that human being will find 1t in time
to rescue 1t. Here, as elsewhere, an
ounce Of prevention Is worth q pound

Bridge Progress

Decision of the Park and Planning
Commission to submit to the Army
and the Public Roads Administration
It's report on traffic conditions exist
ing on the three bridges connecting
Arlington and the National. Capital
clears the way for early action on
what is about to become one of
washington's major transportation
problems.
When the site for the new War
Department building was selected re-
Gently on Columbia pike instead of
in front of Arlington National Gene
terry, a serious marring of the basic
plan for development of the Capital
was avoided. Placing Of. the struc-
ture in Virginia will, of course, in
crease the already serious traffic con-
gestion which marks the rush-hour
crossing of the Potomac. While def
mite plans have not yet taken shape,
construction of another bridge or a
tunnel seems inevitable. 1t may be
practicable to increase the capacity
and safety of the present Highway
Bridge. These projects, however,
must be accompanied by large-scale
arrangements of the approaches
from the District side of the river, in
Guiding extension of the widened In

In birdland, this part OF autumn Is
just pale reflection Of spring.
Mockingbirds and catbirds sing for
hours >at a time, but not as loudly as
in the spring.
There is hurry and scurry in bird
land which reminds the observer Of
few months ago, but 1t will all be over
soon.
Until late in November the migrating
birds will be going through.
After that the birds which winter
hereabouts will have Washington and
vicinity all to themselves. The catbirds
will be gone, but most of the mocking-
birds will remain.
The house wrens will be in the South,
but the cardinals and the titmice and
the chickadees and the nuthatches will
present themselves before us daily, II we
take the troubn to feed them.
After all, where could four better birds
be found than the cardinal, nuthatch,
chickadee and titmouse?
That quartet scarcely can be SURPASSED
In the South in wintertime.
Yet its members will congregate at
any window where seed and cracked
grain is put out daily.
The daily part of it is important. If
we begin to feed them, we should keep
it up. 1t isn't the sportsmanlike thing
to do, to begin and then quit, or to give
them food one day and not another.
Whether seed should be kept available
all day long is a matter of dispute.
Some observers like to feel that no bird
eat
Others say that some food every morn
ing, or afternoon, is sufficient.
sa+%
Early fall is a good time for neWcom-
ers to begin because it attracts both the
wintering birds and certain proportion
of the mgraturs as they fly by. When
winter comes in earnest, the new feeding
station has become established. 1t is
sure to have guests.
The newcomer to this sport must not
expect to find every bird at the feeder
every day.
If he lives in the city, he will have
many sparrows and starlings, and fewer
cardinals. chickadees and titn1ice, with
perhaps no nuthatches at all
The suburban and country resident
probably will have all these and many
more, including that most American of
all birds, the hlue jay.
r. n
A special word should be put In for
the jay
1t is customary for persons, in ordinary
conversation, to speak only of the scoun-
drelly features of the bird.
The truth is that his beauty and
comic character far outshine his few
evil deeds.
Not many observers, after ALL will see
jay kill baby bird of any sort, or
even watch it carry away an egg.
All persons. on the other hand, may
both witness and hear the jay as it sticks
out its head, bending its Knees" while

Trumped

Playing cards, the devils paste
boards, have long been symbolic of
evil destiny. Fortune tellers lay
them out and profess to read disaster
In the occurrence of certain fatal
cards in the setup. Some are more
deadly than others The eight of
diamonds, for instance, is known to
this day as the curse of Scotland.
Another card that causes trouble is
the little trump used by wife to ruff
her husbands perfectly good ace.
The latest to join the poison group
is the ace of spades, the curse of
Massachusetts,. 1t was discarded by
a Marblehead (Mass.) burglar on a
business deal. In burglary, as in
bridge, much information may be
gained by experts from watching
discardS. A logical suspect was picked
up for a fourth at police headquar-
tiers, where he was unable to explain
how he happened to have in his
possession pack of cards with the
ace OF spades missing, and still less
able to explain why the ace of SPACES
picked up in the looted house
matched his cards in design. He
asked for a new deal on the grounds
OF an incomplete deck, citing Mr..
Hoyle as authority. The police, citing
Blackstone as a still higher author
lty, have held him for trial.

Solves Columnist's Problem

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
really was surprised that in The Star
column for September Henry McLemore
seemed f1ustered at the meaning of 8
portion of his conglomeration of con-
fetti," which to me proved to be quite
simple of Interpretation.
OF course, for years I have qualified
as one of the Monday morning quarter
backs" who unerringly can diagnose on
Monday the intricate plays of the pre-
vious Saturdays game, so Macs very
'loosid" barioom notation and its un-
doubted significance readily registered
on my elastic mind
His puzzling notation read: "Konoye
:. Vichy Regent 4-7424 Notify
proper authorities" He found that the
telephone number is that of man who
judges cat shows, and that should have
told him all. Considering that the note
was written in the bar of the st. Charles
Hotel, it is easy to imagine that the
liquid concoctions (prior to the head
stand in the corner) made that delectable
word ''Vichy" register in his mind COR
was it the prior connections plus the
head stand?), and from there his
thoughts naturally leaped via association
of ideas to the war situation. His line
of thought evidently ran something like
this:
Now there's Vichy and Konoye trying
to play game of cat and mouse with
the Axis and the democratic nations, and
no man knows what will be their next
move. If could only dope that one
out 1 could make the biggest scoop in
newspaper history and then notify the
proper authorities. What to dol can't
trust to the opinions of the second-guess-
ing experts of the columns. Let's see,
cat and mouse, cat and mouse-boy, I've
got it! Who could better anticipate the
moves of a cat in such q game than
man who judges cats? Hey, bartender,
get me the phone number of some man
in this town who is an expert on cats"
The rest is easy. He got the phone
number of the expert on felines and
had just sufficient control left to make
the notation before the lights went out.
Too bad his memory went with the lights.
