THIS AND THAT
Bp Charles Z. Trdce1DeII.

resident Of the vicinity, although not
many nests have been found farther up
the river than Mount Vernon.
Eagles, hawks and kites are grouped
together in an interesting bird family.
1t is not always realized that sur
rounding counties have the bald eagle.
1t is said that birds of this class
undergo twice the strain in rearing their
young of any other land birds, owing
to the enormous amount of food they
must rustic up for the babies. Young
hawks and eagles grow very slowly, far
slower than our songsters. Both hawks
and owls sometimes swallow small vic
Tins without taking time to strip them
of their feathers.
The killing is done with the claws and
the prey is torn to pieces with the bill.
Hawks and owls seem to have the most
marvellous digestive systems in the
world. In go feathers and all, but the
creature does not become i'll. His stom-
ach muscles take care of that. They
begin to function after the digestible
parts have been absorbed, and not until
then.
At this time they begin to roll up
the hair, feathers, bones, etc. into a
solid ball. These pellets, as they are
called by scientists, are regurgitated be-
fore more food is eaten.
So, when you see a hawk overhead,
you are looking not only at marvellous
ht1t o1c oF
perfect functioning digestive systems in
all the world.
There are many misconceptions about
hawks, one of them being that all hawks
are bad.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth.
There are only few really harmful
that is, to man and his doings-haWks,
and these include the gyrfslcons, the
duck hawk, the sharp-shinned hawk, the
goshawk, and Coopers hawk.
Harmful and beneficial qualities are
held to balance in the pigeon hawk, and
several of the falcons.
A wholly beneficial hawk is the rough
legged hawk.
The majority of the other hawks come
in the chiefly beneficial class. The SPAR
row hawk is put in this group. Although
it gets sparrow, now and then, this
is not often, in the main the bird living
on moles, mice and other small deer"
as Shakespeare insisted on putting it.
A hawk no larger than a robin will
have a wing spread of almost 2 feet.
Many ornithologists have never seen
sparrow hawk capture a small bird 1t
Is not pretty sight. Last winter this
column described the sudden bomb
dive of one Of these little hawks into
a rose vine full of English sparrows
There was no more bird feeding that day.
If all the birds at busy feeding
station suddenly vanish, you may sus-
pect hawk of some kind Keep watch
for it seated 20 feet or more high in
some nearby tree. Whatever any one
may think of the hawks. there are no
more beautiful and physically upright
birds in the world.

Quotes Teachers
OF "Germanic Superiority"

To the Editor Of The Star:
The roots of Hitlerism are embedded
deeply in the dogma Of Germanic su-
periority. Witness the following:
Gottberg: "War is the most sacred OF
human activities. Still and deep in the
German heart must the longing for war
endure
Reimer: "All chatter about peace and
humanity must remain nothing but
chatter"
Won Hartmann: whoever enters upon
q war will pay no heed to international
law. He will do well to act without con-
sideration and without scruple."
Karl Wagner: THE efficient people
must secure themselves elbow room by
means of war, and the inefficient must
be hemmed in, driven into reserves where
they have no room to grow, where they
may crawl peacefully toward the peace
full death of early and hopeless servility"
Prof. Hasse: Nothing is more immoral
than to consider war an immoral thing;
war is the mother of all good things"
Men who dethrone the Prince of Peace
invariably enthrone the prince of self
ishness of hatred, of war. Germany,
under Hitler, is putting into action the
false beliefs Of the German writer's I
have quoted. EQUALITY.

A resolution adopted by the General
Convention at Kansas City last year
prepared the way for "the setting up
of a national spiritual center" for
the entire denomination here.
1t follows that when the Presiding
Bishop, the Right Reverend Henry
st. George Tucker, Bishop of Vir-
ginia, takes his place in the Great
Choir of Washington Cathedral a
definite and tangible gain for the
cause of religion everywhere must be
registered. His presence in the
Capital of the United States, repre-
senting as it does further evidence
of the bond between freedom and a
constructive faith in God, is an asset
to the whole organization OF demo-
cratic society in the New World He
adds his strength and that of his
flock to the strength of all other

believers in its Promise. For aid so
precious, all men and women of

fact, there is war, and we are in 1t.
Playing politics with this war is about
the worst sin an American citizen can
commit. And there is too much OF It.
There is too much of 1t in the Congress
OF the United States.
Before we concentrate on politics, on
trying to throw one party out and put
another in, let us first make sure that
Hitler will not prevent us from having
any free political parties at all when
this war Is over.
II we are to be strong against enemies
from abroad, our domestic quarrels must
end at the waters edge.
The Allies are fighting our fight.
supply weapons and food Weapons and
food will do nobody any good If Hitler
sinks them in the sea.
Hitler has summarized international
law. He is forcing us either to abandon
our rights, our interests, and our ships
or to protect them against piracy.
United States merchant ships have
often been armed against pirates before
this. Why not now?
Out of deep conviction, I urge every
American to support the President in
demanding modificatio of the neu-
trality law, for the safety and welfare
of our country and the world.

The Keorny Casualties

The move by three Republican
Senators for outright repeal of the
Neutrality Act, while 1t may have
certain political connotations, is
nevertheless logical sequel to the
disclosure that eleven American sea-
men were lost and ten injured in the
attack on the U. S. S. Kearny.
The fact that American lives have
been lost in the German bid for con-
troll of the Atlantic seaways serves to
underscore the gravity of situation
which already was transparently
dangerous from our point of view.
1t is fully evident now that Hitler
Is prepared to 60 to any lengths and
incur any risks to sever our line of
communications with Britain. In
the face of this all-out effort on his
part, we court disaster by temporiz-
ing with half measures.
AS yet, this Government has not
seen fit to make public all of the
facts pertaining to the torpedoing of
the Kearny. 1t may have been
wholly unprovoked, or the torpedo
may have been fired in the course of
battle. But the difference is one Of
degree only. The fundamental fact
remains that the Germans are in the
battle Of the Atlantic with all of the
resources at their command, and in
the face of their effort it is not going
10 be enough for us to arm merchant
ships and stop there
The dangers of our position, and
the stakes involved, clearly call for
abandonment on our part of a pre-
tense Of neutrality which shackles
our own defensive effort 1t is time
to meet force with all the force at
our command, and to do so without
sham or subterfuge.
That is what far-sighted Repub-
&cans IN the Senate are asking for
and that Is what the proper protec-
tion OF our vital national interests
requires.

October Is hawk time.
If you have been feeding the birds in
the yard, and have a number of them
present all the time, the chances will
be that hawks will spot them.
The hawks are in the vicinity all the
time, just as rats are III a neigEborhood
all the time. Feeding the birds simply
makes them both show up.
Some persons have the idea that bird
feeding draws rats to a neighborhood.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Wherever there are sewers, there will
be rodents.
Putting out food for birds in time
may attract rat to the yard. So a
real service Is done the neighborhood,
by putting the rat on record, as it were

Rail Unions BuIk

The refusal Of the brotherhoods to
accept the offer of the Presidents
Emergency Fact-Finding Board to
arbitrate the wage dispute menacing
the rail industry has the earmarks of
thinly veiled threat to strike If
demands are not met.
An agreement to go to arbitration
automatically would have made the
decision Of the arbitrators final and
binding on both parties. The car
riers were willing to rest their case
on this form of adjudication. The
unions seemingly we're taking no
chances of getting less than they
asked. Either that or they believe
that by presenting an unyielding
front, greater concessions will be
wrung from the board than would
have been received had they shown
an inclination to accept arbitration
on the wage issue. The latter
line Of reasoning, OF course, would
reflect little credit on the board,
whose findings should be expected to
be strictly in accordance with the
merits of the case, whether they were
the product of arbitration, or were
formulated in the ordinary course of
the present hearing, whose outcome
has no binding effect on the dis
putants.
Throughout the present wage ne
gotiations, the brotherhoods, at least
so far as the public is aware, have
spurned anything savoring of COM
promise. In so doing, they have
shown a total disregard for realities,
as any one conversant with condi-
tions in the rail industry realizes. In
recent years, railroads have COM
planned that the Railway Mediation
Act functions only in one direction,
and that the virtues aScribed to 1t in
the maintenance of industrial peace
result entirely from concessions by
management. The attitude of the
brotherhoods in this instance sup
ports that contention.

Afqhunistun

oficial announcement in London
that the Afghan government has
agreed to expel all German and Ital-
Ian residents from the country
seemingly ends a diplomatic situa-
ton quite similar to that which pre-
eeded Anglo-Russian intervention in
neighboring Iran. In pursuance of
their determination not to allow
Axis agents anywhere in the Near
and Middle East, Britain and Russia
have been making joint representa-
tions to Afghanistan for some time
past, and the Afghan government has
accepted their point Of view.
IT seems unlikely that Britain and
Russia will press Afghanistan for
further concessions, because they
have no such incentives to occupy
this remote country as they had in
Iran. To begin with, Axis influence
IN Afghanistan was slight. The num-
Der of Axis nationals in the country
N reported TO be only about 200,
mostly diplomatic and consular off,
eass and their families, together
with few technicians long resident
Ia the land.
Much more important for the fu-
tare is the fact that Afghanistan is
not q feasible communication link
between British India and Asiatic
Russia. A rugged, mountainous re-
gion the size of Texas, Afghanistan
Is almost entirely unmodernized.
There are no railways and few roads
worthy OF the name transportation
being chiefly by camels, ponies, and
donkeys. From the Khyber Pass, the
gateway of India, to the nearest rail-
head In Russian Turkestan is a dis
tance Of fully 300 miles through
forbidding mountain country in
habited by warlike tribes. Both the
engineering and the military diff
culties would render the opening up
of this route so slow and costly that
1t could be justified only on grounds
Of extreme necessity.
Fortunately for all concerned, no
such necessity exists, because the
Anglo-Russian occupation of Iran
has yielded alternative routes of a
much more practicable kind. Be-
sides the railway and roads in West
ern Iran, connecting the Persian
Gulf with the Caspian Sea and Rus
sian TranScaucasia, a second con-
Meeting route in Eastern Iran Is
under considera ton. This proposed
motor route would start from the
Indian railhead on the border of
Baluchistan, a British protectorate,
at point just south of the Afghan
frontier. 1t would then strike north
ward through Iranian territory which
Ks mostly open and fairly level coun-
try, until it touched the Russian
railroad which runs from the east
ern shore of the Caspian Sea to the
heart of Russian Turkestan. At that
point, the Caspian railroad connects
with two other lines; one running
southeastward from European Rus
sia, the other running northward to
the trans-Siberian railroad. This

Geese

A Minnesota farmer, peacefully en-
gagged in blowing, was amazed to
find that large flock of wild geese
had invaded his field without warn
ing. The unarmed man hastily ran
back home for what weapons he
could find, and then remembered
that his shotgun was at the home
of a neighbor on a sort of lend
lease arrangement. Frantically DASH
ing there he got the gun, only to
discover that he was out of am
munition. Though time was grow
ing short, he drove at full speed to
town and got his munitions for cash
on the line. Starting back, he sud-
denly recalled another hitch. He
needed authorization to go after the
invaders-an attack without it would
he just plain piracy. So he officially
declared war by taking out a hunting
license, and finally returned to the
front, where he shot three geese
and scared the others away.
Forrsuch silly and n-dangerous
invaders as geese, this slipshod
method may be all right. Even if
it fails to work, no great harm is
done. But against really tough,
shrewd visitors, or would-be visitors,
it is hardly to be compared with a
policy of having the gun right at
the plow, loaded, with spare am
munition in one hip pocket and a
warrant to use 1t in the other.

Bishops Installation

At Washington Cathedral tomor-
row the Presiding Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States will be welcomed to
an official chair. This means that
the highest dignitary of a great
religious denomination will have his
seat" in the Nations Capital. Such
a development plainly is of i'm
portance to all residents of the
District of Columbia, without regard
to their sectarian affiliations. 1t
SymbolizeS the growth of the Federal
Town as the focal center of American
civilization. What George Washing
ton and Thomas Jefferson visioned
when they established the correlation
point OF the Government of the
Union on the banks of the Potomac
gradually is being fulfilled.
The ceremonies of installation at
Mount Saint Alban were forecast as
long ago as the time of the granting
of the charter of the Cathedral
Foundation in 1893. An expectation
that Washington eventually might
be the national headquarters OF the
Episcopal Church was entertained by
the Right Reverend Henry Yates
satterlee and the Right Reverend
Alfred Harding, first and second
Bishops of Washington, respectively.
The plan was proposed formally by
the Right, Reverend James E. Free
man, third Bishop, At the General
Convention at New Orleans IN 1925.

Rent Control Bill

Although the fixing Of q ceiling
over single item of living costs,
such as rent, is fundamentally wrong,
1t is gratifying that the House Dis
trict Committee, in giving unani-
nous approval to local rent control
bill, saw fit to follow closely the
recommendations advanced by the
Joint Defense Housing. Committee,
composed Of representatives of real
estate and building organizations.
In the form approved by the COM
mittee, the bill is compromise be-
tween the extreme views of those
who wanted to fix rents arbitrarily
on a permanent basis and the con-
tentfon of others that there should be
no control of rents It's eminently
desirable features include a definite
limitation on the life of the legisla-
tion, a specification that the rent
administrator is to be appointed by
the District Commissioners, and the
selection of a reasonable date-last
January las of which rents would
be frozen.
That this bill is more desirable
than others which had been sub
mitted to the committee, however,
does not detract from the fact that it
may we'll prove impracticable to
freeze one factor in the cost of living
in the absence of any restraint on
other factors. In the case of rents,
for example, the cost of such items as
repairs, maintenance and service
conceivably may mount to a point
where the margin of profit would be
entirely wiped out.
That this is not fanciful danger
is shown by a tabulation of living
costs in the District prepared re-
Gently by the Bureau Of Labor Sta
tistics, which revealed that the in
crease in local rents has been
negligible when contrasted with the
advance in other living costs.
1t is possible, of course, that rents
might get out of hand in the future
and that being the case, there should
be no objection to reasonable regula-
ton. But regulatory action should
not be taken on the false premise
that rents already have risen unrea-
Sonably or that the problem Of living
costs can be solved by controlling
rents and rents alone.
