THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Trdcetcell.

The color makes ~ look more cree-uke.
What one is trying to do is to draw the
old birds to this substitute nest.
Once the deed is done, the bird placed
In the box and the box placed in the
tree, 1t is essential that all observers
be withdrawn to safe distance, say at
least 100 feet from the tree.
If the bird must be raised indoors, 1t
should be done In q room where neither
dog nor cat can come.
It Is unfair to such pet animals to
try to bring up bird in close proximity.
Both animals will catch baby birds, If
they get the chance. Often they do not
know what to do with them after they
are caught, but the damage has been
done.
If there is . large cage handy, this
may be used, but 1t should be swung
50 high that q pet cannot get to 1t. A
good plan to discourage a cat, In such
case, is to secure one of these small
rubber sprinklers used for flowers.
Every time the cat looks at the bird,
give the bulb sharp pressure, putting
plenty of moisture on him.
The problems of the young bird in
crease with age and growth.
The appetite increases, as little as
that might seem possible.
Good foods are meal worms, scraped
beef, also ground; yellow Of egg, bread
and milk.
On these young jays and others can
be brought to full size.
They should not be put outdoors until
they are able to fly well, and show by
their actions that they want to go out.
The best place to turn them loose Is
In the woods.
Rock Creek Park Is ideal.
The bird should be taken in its cage
and the door opened
1t will fly away to happy life. The
person who has brought up young
bird by hand often fears that 1t will not
be able to find food by itself. Nothing
is surer than that 1t will. To the young
bird, the first few weeks are unknown.
Its feeding habits, under the stimulus Of
the outdoors, are instructive.
1t will find food for itself Just the
same as II 1t had been outdoors all
its life.
y
Pet stores with bird departments will
lend hand in the management of these
refugees.
While 1t Is against the law to keep
such birds in captivity, they can be
helped over the time of need, and then
released.
This is doing good to protected birds,
not harm.
The essential thing is to release them
at the right time and in the right way.
If this is done, one has the memory of
a good deed and a pleasant little COM
panion and the assurance that nature
will take care Of her own.

Protests "Giving" Billions
To Foreign Government"

To the Editor of The Star:
Unemployment was in large measure the
result Of lack of investments in indus
try, so the Federal Government created
the w. p. A., the c. G. C. and the other
agencies. When the President asked for
few millions to keep things going
Congress drastically cut the appropria-
tions, claiming he was getting the coun-
try into debt. But any thinking person
knows that money spent for construc-
tive work benefits community and
money spent for useful labor comes
back into circulation and at the same
time takes care of unemployment.
Now, when the President asks for
s7,000,O00 900 to give away to a foreign
government, with no other purpose than
to draw this country into war, Congress
overwhelmingly votes "yes" We are
told 1t is for defense. All loyal Ameri-
cans are for national defense; we want
this country adequately prepared for
defense. But we do not believe we are
being defended when our wealth is given
away and huge debt saddled on us and
our children. Neither are we defended
when our sons are sent away to be killed
and, what is worse, crippled and their
minds affected LnLGE.
