greatest singer I've ever heard. His
favorite perch is atop the telephone pole
just in front of the apartment, and he
will sing for four hours on a stretch
just rest his throat for second, change
his position, and sing on.
This autumn we fastened tiny box
just at the top of the shrubbery on the
inside of the school fence, which is 10
feet high, the shrubbery being only
feet, making it very easy for him to pro-
tect his food. Now all of his old fighting
spirit has returned. He even chases the
starlings from the tops of the trees He
is so very happy, just dashes from tree
to tree for sheer joy.
Here is the question: Will he ever
have another mate? Insofar as we could
see, there was no mate last summer We
did not see or hear any young ones and
no old nest was left in the rose hedge on
the school fence as usual.
Am regular reader of your column
and thoroughly enjoy it. And how love
to feed the birds. even the English
Sparrows. Sincerely M. A. N"
The chances are that this bird may
have another mate. Mockingbirds are
not among the list of birds which are
faithful unto death. In fact, very few
species are. 1t will all depend upon
whether an unattached female happens
to fly up from the south and into his
territory.
Mockingbirds love barberry hedges and
dogwoods.
That is one of the best reasons for
planting them.
Mockers not only like to eat the ber-
ries. They seem to have real fondness
for this hedge and this small tree.
OF the two, the mockingbird seems to
prefer the barberry hedge.
The thicker it is, the better he likes it,
There is such hedge along a walk in
our neighborhood. In 1t at almost any
hour at least one mockingbird may be
seen.
Hedges of all types are natural perch
ing places for many species of song birds.
Such things as thorns make no diff
ference to them. We have often WON
dered how the birds manage to escape
being cut or wounded by sharp thorns,
but few of them seem to suffer No doubt
their feathers protect them. Occasionally
one of them will get caught in such a
hedge, and dangle head down. In some
cases they cannot escape unless rescued
| by human agency.
The shrike, two forms of which are
| found in this vicinity, uses thorns to
! impale some of its food. 1t uses the
thorns as butcher would hooks to hang
up meat.
( Mockingbirds are among the most in
teresting birds which remain in locaI
gardens in the winter. Sometimes q

igerent for the good Of the other ano
smaller birds. In such cases, small feed

Defends Miss Rankin's
Right to Vote NO"
A. A. SHAPER.

To the Editor of The Star:
On December IL The Evening Star
printed an article by Mr.. Henry Nc
Lemore, concerning Miss Jeannette Ran
kin. which was both disparaging and
misguiding. While we may not agree
with Miss Rankins point of view, we
should understand it. I do not believe
that her firm mo" in answering the
roll call on the declaration of war with
Japan should be attributed to feminine
weakness or blind stupidity. Rather she
was propelled by a depth of belief which
few of us can ever hope to attain.
The article enormously describes Miss
Rankin as being so pacific that she
can't even see the trouble in the Pacific"
Surely, none could be that dense, least Of
all member of Congress who has been
thoroughly exposed to the situation. No
one desires unity for the United States
more than I, but if Miss Rankin sincerely
feels that war is not the answer to our
problems, she was justified in her brave
and adamant stand May we never be-
come a Nation which outlaws the other
side Of a question.

CONCORD AVE.

Dear Sir:
This will be a mockingbird story fol-
lowed by a question. We live In an
apartment near the edge OF Rock Greek
Park. Directly across the street Is
school, the grounds of which are very
large and inclosed with the usual hlgh'
stout. wire fence. The parking adjoining
the grounds on our side is unimproved,
some fine, large trees, together with sew
eral cedars and one scrubby pine, and
heavy orchard grass sod kept cut by the
Government. The birds love this spot.
"One morning three years ago mock
ingbird few down on the lawn OF the
apartment and tried to eat bit of
hard bread which had been thrown from
q window. He was almost too weak to
fv. Snow covered the ground for quite
a long period. He was starving. I i'm
mediately went over under one of the
trees, cleared away the snow, and put
down suet and raisins, then watched for
several days, and then he came. 1 saw
him eating as only hungry bird can.
Needless to say, he was hungry no more
that winter.
~ x+
Spring came, and with 1t came his
beautiful mate. Soon another pair ar
rived Only once 1 saw the four eating
together. The two males fought fiercely
However, they each held the ground
until the first young were ready to leave
the nest, when one morning the fellow
I had rescued appeared with a broken
wing. 1t did not really drag on the
ground, but dropped low and, of course,
he could not fly for quite while
"A few days later we found one of the
older birds dead and partly eaten, lying
under the rose hedge near the nest.
When the cold rains came in the late
spring, the broken-winged one (and now
the only one we ever saw developed
something like asthma. 1t sneezed al
most constantly and sat dropping on the
fence or in the shrubbery. Late in the
summer he abandoned the feeding sta
ton and gave him up for dead.
"One day in midwinter during terri
BILE ice storm was putting out grain for
the little seed eaters where place had
been prepared under single rambler on
the school fence, when on tree close by
lit the mocker with the dropping wing
II ran into the apartment and out
again with apple and raisins, and soon
saw him eating once more, but when he
tried to hold the feeding station, the
starlings fought and whipped him.
This left him cowed. but by noticing
the time he came for food, and having
the suet and raisins ready for him, we
managed to feed him pretty well through
the winter.
when last spring came, he was in fine
| condition. His coat was just like satin
| and he had grown tame enough to sit
| quite near while put down his food if
did it very quietly.
His dropping wing disfgures him, but
does not in any way interfere with his
flying. He scars just as high and is as
swift on the wing as any bird. and the

New Pay Bill

The Endorsement by President
Roosevelt gives heartening support
to the new Ramspeck pay bill estab-
fishing a minimum annual rate of
81 200 for full-time adult employ
ment in the Government, and pro-
viding general increases in the sub
professional and custodial services.
The proposed minimum Is $3.50
over the present figure and repre-
sents a reform that properly was de-
scribed as long overdue, by William
H. McReynolds, administrative assist
ant to the President, in testifying for
the measure before the House Civil
Service Committee. The same is true
of the other benefits contemplated
by the legislation which would reach,
for the most part, low-paid employees.
In all, some 100000 workers, of whom
q 500 are in the departmental serv-
ice here, are covered

cuted Albert B. Fall and Harry Sim

Hills oil scandals and was rewarded
by appointment to the bench by
President Hoover in 1880. He also
served as umpire of the German
Mixed Claims Commission litigation
over the Black Tom sabotage eXplo-
sion of pre-World War I days.
With men of such attainments as
signed to the Pearl Harbor inquiry,
the American people and their rep
resentatives in Congress may look
forward with confidence to a thor
oughgoing investigation that will ex-
onerate where exoneration is due and
fix the blame If blame is indicated.
This is the only type of investigation
that will satisfy public opinion in
connection with this unfortunate in
cident.

Failure to Fortify Guam
Aided Japs, He Thinks.

To the Editor of The Star:
Ten days ago We witnessed the surprise
attack upon Pearl Harbor by the Japs.
On a fateful day in February, 1889. the
background and setting for this attack
was created when 205 members of Con-
gress voted against fortifying the island
Of Guam. Had this island been fortified
our fleet and naval base at Pearl Harbor
might not have suffered the damages at
the hands of the cobra Japs.
Representative Rayburn, then Demo-
cratic floor leader, made a passionate
plea for the appropriation. The op-
ponents of the bill to fortify Guam told
the House that Japan would be angered
If we appropriated s5,OOO,OOO for the
establishment of an air base at Guam.
A far-sighted Representative, Melvin j.
Mas, Minnesota, that day said: IF you
members of Congress vote today to pre-
vent the dredging of harbor which will
permit the training of our pilots in the
Pacific. which will permit the utilization
of that harbor for our scouting planes so
that we may know the possibility of an
enemy movement toward us, you are
going to take terrible responsibility
upon yourselves, perhaps that of the loss
OF millions of American lives that will be
needlessly sacrificed" His advice was
trampled on. In contrast Representative
Fish remarked that the defeat of the
appropriation was a step toward peace.
We now see who was right.

Pearl Hurbor Inquiry

Recognizing the gravity of Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox's assertion
that our defense forces in Hawaii
were not on the alert when the Jap
anese made their sudden attack on
Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt
has chosen five men of outstanding
prestige and unquestioned ability to
ascertain why our Army and Navy
were caught off-guard in so tragic
manner. The retired admirals and
generals named to the board OF in
curry are experts on naval and mill
tary regulations, strategy and tactics,
while the designation of Associate
Justice Owen J. Roberts of the Su-
preme Court as presiding officer OF
the board adds to the assurance that
a full and impartial investigation
will be forthcoming.
Major General Frank R. Mccoy is
head of the Foreign Policy Associa-
ton. an authoritative organization
which has conducted numerous
studies of the Pacific Crisis. He mas
had a distinguished record as a
soldier since the days of the Spanish
American War, in which he was
wounded. Brigadier General Joseph
P. McNarney was fight commander
In the first World War and recently
served as an Air Corps observer in
London. Admiral William H. Stand
ley formerly was chief of naval oper-
ations, in which post he adopted as
his motto, The Navy is not anxious,
but ready" Rear Admiral Joseph M
Reeves formerly was commander in
chief of the fleet and, withal, showed
his interest in aviation by learning
to fly after he had passed the age OF
fifty. Justice Roberts will bring to
the board the extraordinary expert
ence gained during notable career

Bonds for Bombs

The announcement by the Treasury
that sales of Defense Bonds by banks
in forty-fve large cities during the
first week of the war registered a
gain of 1T per cent over the totals
for the preceding week provides
heartening evidence Of the deter
mination of the American people to
support, with their dollars, our
soldiers and sailors at the front. The
Treasury figures, based on spot
survey by the American Bankers
Association, show wave Of bond
buying in all parts OF the country
following the treacherous attack Of
Japan on Hawaii. Six banks in the
District reported an increase of 159
per cent in sales.
So far, the response of the country
has been gratifying. Since the start
of the defense savings campaign in
May, the Treasury has sold more
than $4,000, 100000 of defense secur-
tiles. With the entrance of the
United States into the war, vast
additional outlays will be necessary
to equip our fighting forces for the
task that confrontS them. We must
continue, at the same time, to aid
Great Britain, China, Soviet Russia
and other countries resisting Axis
aggression.
It is essential, therefore, that the
American people, in far greater
volume than before, invest their
savings in Defense bonds and De-
fense stamps. Millions of additional
buyers are needed-men and women
who will earmark regularly part of
their earnings for defense securities.
Under the direction of Secretary
Morgenthau, the Treasury is plan
ming to intensity its sales campaign.
Since the country is united as never
before in its history, the success Of
this drive may reasonably be
expected.
In Hawaii, Wake Island, the Philip
pines and at other points, the men
with the colors are maintaining the
finest traditions of the Army and
Navy, and many have already made
the supreme sacrifice. Though not
all of us will be privileged to bear
arms in the defense of the Nation,
every American, by purchasing bonds
and stamps, can contribute effec-
lively to the success of the war effort
and help forge the answer to the
challenge of Pearl Harbor. Why not
include a bond or stamps on your
holiday list this year? No Christmas
gift could serve a more patriotic
purpose.
