that number of Italian light units
have been either scuttled in harbor
or destroyed in vain dash to sea-
ward. Since there is no alternative
base from which even submarines
could operate, the Red Sea may
henceforth be considered safe waters
and can be navigated practically
without the need for convoy.
This, in turn, raises the question,
much discussed in Washington,
whether the Red Sea may not now
be lifted from its status as a COM
bat area. If this be done, American
ships can navigate it under the
terms of our neutrality law, and can
bring cargoes from the United
States around the Cape of Good
Hope clear to the Suez Canal. De-
spite the length of the voyage, this
would be the most practicable way
to get our promised aid to the
Mediterranean region, besides no.

I selected the car best fitted to our purse
and intended in typical American FASH
ion to buy it on the installment plan.
Accordingly, I called a Washington
bank where I have my account and
where previously had financed the pur-
chase of a car. But that bank refused to
consider my application for financing on
the express ground that shortly would
be ordered to duty as an officer of the
United States Army. The fact that will
be stationed in Washington made no
difference.
The moral of my story needs no elabo-
ration. The fact that a reserve officer
called to active duty must put aside his
chosen occupation, leave an established
position, to do his small part in the de-
tense of all Americans and American
organizations means nothing to the in
dicated bank.
Naturally all banks and finance COM
panies do not share this attitude.
found no difficulty in arranging the pur-
chase of my car through another institu-

1t is fine to speak of national defense,
but I realize now that there is at least
one American organization that in my
opinion is not worthy of defending.

Foreiqn-Owned Ships

President RooSevelt's request for
legislative authority to take over
foreign-owned ships immobilized in
our harbors, subject to the payment
of just compensation, is move
which finds it's justification in the
requirements of national necessity.
In the message accompanying his
request to Congress, the President
said ''it is obvious that our own ulti-
mate defense will be rendered futile
if the growing shortage of shipping
facilities is not arrested" And it is
even more obvious that our program
of full aid to the British, without
which they can hardly hope to sur
vive, is going to be defeated unless
the war supplies that we are pro-
ducing actually reach the battle
ground.
At present, according to Chairman
Land of the Maritime Commission,
Britain's shipping losses are close to
a rate of 100000 tons year. That
means that ships are being sunk
faster than they can be replaced,
and the immediate problem is to
reverse that trend.
One approach to the problem lies
in more effective conveying, either
by naval vessels under the American
flag or by the transfer of additional
American naval vessels to the Brit
ish. The transfer of fifty over-age
destroyers and ten Coast Guard
ships has tended to bolster the con-
voy system, but it obviously is still
inadequate.
The other approach consists of
providing more and more replace
ments to offset British losses, and it
is to this end that the Presidents
latest effort is directed. Imme-
diately affected are thirty-nine Dan
ish, twenty eight Italian and two
German vessels now being held in
protective custody by this Govern
ment. Some of these vessels have
been sabotaged and they can be
taken over under existing law.
There is no statutory authority for
such action with respect to the
others, however, and it is with this
problem that the President has
asked Congress to deal.
What the final result will be, as
suming that the requested authority
is given, cannot be foreSeen. 1t is
virtually certain that the Danish
vessels will be taken over and paid
for, despite the objections from
Copenhagen, which is under Ger
man domination. There are also a
number of other foreign owned ships
in American ports, however, and the
probabilities are that these, too, will
be purchased or chartered as a par
tial solution of the shipping prob
lem.
To decide against taking such &C
ton would be tantamount to a re-
fusal on the part Of this Government
to make use of every reasonable
means of insuring the security of
this Nation.

ReptiIiun Rally

When at a banquet good fellows
get together, song and legend re-
quire that there be stein on the
table and good song ringing clear,
other details of the feast being op-
tional. Now it seems that when good
ichthyologists and herpetologists get
together, the stein and the song are
optional but the food is MOTT must
be symbolic of their callings.
At any rate, at combined rally
of these allied professions in Silver
Springs, Florida, the menu listed
crotalus adamanteus, pseudemys
Floridiana sumanensis, alligator
MissiSSippiensiS, and turSiopS turSio.
The herpetologists, or reptile ex-
perts, and the ichthyologists, or men
whose dish is fish, helped each other
translate these eSoteric words into
rattlesnake a la king, turtle salad,
alligator blanket and barbecued
porpoise; after which the majority
screwed up their resolution, shut
their eyes, and ate these delicacies
in the interest of progress. Accord
ing to dispatches, the only sour note
was caused by a few sissies who
selfishly sabotaged science by loudly
and unethically demanding an alter
nate fare Of ham sandwiches and
cofies.

Wants Federal Government
To Pay Its Share of Expenses.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your recent editorial about Uncle
Sans share of the Districts expenses
brings feeling of evaporation against
the so-called wise men engaged in a
great and arduous struggle" for good
overnment-namely, Congress. This
controversy has been going on for de-
cades.
Why can't Congress do the obvious
thing-let the District assess Uncle Sans
property at the same rate as other prop
erty, and the District assessor send the
tax bill to the United States Treasury,
and the Treasury pay it? A bill for water
used and wasted also should be sent. In
one Federal Government building alone,
80 drains are daily flushed steadily and
violently for Is minutes (using the Dis
trict's filtered water, of course), when
half a minute of flushing would do the
work.
Uncle Sam collects Federal taxes from
the Districts people. 1t seems utterly
unfair that he should milk the District
government, or sponge on it. On the
other hand, If Congress has been giving
the District too much, fair assessment
would show this. Why is it that poll
ticians never can do anything the sim
plest and fairest way, but must always
use indirection of some kind?

tiger marked ones? And the immediate
answer is, Of course, there are yellow
Persians. Our acquaintance with Per-
slams has been limited. When we think
of cats, we think of the common short
haired variety. These are, to many, cats.
And what background they have!
Each one can trace his ancestry straight
back to the hot yellow sands of Egypt.
The jays which pestered yellow Quincy
adopted exactly the same tactics as the
| jays of our correspondent
They made dives at him, one after the
other, skimming his back, then perching
for moment on branch a few feet
above his head
In this way they drove the cat down
out of the tree, but not before one of
them had delivered a severe blow on
Quincy's back.

his hold on the tree.
fEx
Some cats know how to come down out
OF trees, others do not, as is well known.
There is scarcely week goes by in a
city but some house cat gets up into a
tree and Is unable to get down.
This arises because of a failure of
instinct.
1t is mostly because the individual
animal does not adopt the right method
of coming down out of a tree as a
kitten.
The right way, of course, is to back
down, not try to come down head first.
1t is amazing that at least two out of
every 10 cats will try this wrong way.
The reason it is wrong is because the
back of the claws, not the points, engage
the bark when the animal persists in
coming down head first.
When cat backs down a tree. as it
should, the points of the claws dig into
the bark, and it is able to come down
leisurely.
1t is said that any kitten can be taught
the right way by holding it on tree
trunk, head up, tail toward the earth,
and forcing it to come down in that
manner.

should know how to come down out of
tree, instinctively. So any one would
think
If there is such large failure in such
matter, there must be other instructive
failings in many another, such as land
ing on all four feet when dropped from
height.
Cats are supposed to do this in
stinctively, but remembering how many
of them do not know how to come down
out of tree properly, we may wonder
If some of them do not land on their
backs.
Squirrels, in their rare falls, often land
on the side or back knocking the wind
out of them Evidently instinct does
not protect them.
1t may be supposed that instinct, while
in the main working according to law, at
times fails utterly, and then, as far as
the particular animal is concerned, it
might as well not exist

TAYLOR STREET.

Dear Sir:
THE Siamese cat from next door was
in the crotch of the maple tree when
first noticed him.
"A handsome blue jay few into the
tree jusT above him and darted at the
cat and away several timea, then paused
and gave two low and really pretty calls.
Another jay Immediately joined him
and together they taunted the cat by
darting closer and closer to him, Turing
him higher into the branches.
Finally, one of the jaws made sud-
den dive and bit the cat near his tail,
then put forth his most raucous cry.
'Whereupon the cat, as majestically
as possible under the circumstances, re-
treated to his place in the sun on the
window sill of his house.
"The birds sat awhile, preening their
feathers, than left. 1t was all very
quiet and businesslike job, and a great
show to watch.
Sincerely, A. R."
We suppose Siamese cats are Thailand
cats, now.
Whatever you call a cat, it is still cat,
with fondness for climbing trees.
Whether alley cat, Persian cat, Maine
cat, Manx cat, Siamese or Thailand cat,
it feels at home in high places
But not more at home, of course, than
a jay in such places.
Such pictures as these are garden
favorites with the discriminating.
Flowers or vegetables are not all you
can see in yard.

Watching for moving pictures in the
garden is one of the best of sports.
1t may be an indoor or an outdoor
sport, or both of them.
Bird feeding, for instance. is an indoor
outdoor sport. 1t is possible for men,
ber of the Wanderbirds' Hiking Club to
tramp all over the mountains, watching
birds as he goes, and it is also possible
for an invalid who cannot get out of bed
to find great pleasure and delight in the
songsterS on the window sill feeding
station.
Not all persons. unfortunately, see all

circumstances.
No doubt many hiker fails to see
some odd happening, and many an in
door watcher lacks the interest to watch
wild rabbit loping across the lawn,
something at once rare and old yet sur
prisingly new.
y \
This observer will never forget the
picture made by old Ounce. the yellow
cat, and pair of blue jays.
The summer sun flashed on both the
coats of the cat and the birds.
All birds seem to have special dis
like for yellow cats.
1t may be that the creatures recognize
that this is the supreme color of noun
tain lions and desert lions.
We believe that no type of cat draws
the dislike of birds so much, whether
striped or not. Come to think of it, are
there any other yellow cats except the

Foil of Mussuwu

The capture of MasSawa, the last
sea outlet of tottering Italian East
Africa, is important in several ways.
In the first place, it hastens the
end of Italian resistance. The only
considerable Italian force remaining
In the field is that under command
of the Viceroy, the Duke of Aosta,
who has retired from his captured
capital, Adds Ababa, into the noun
famous region to the northward.
That, however, is a hotbed of
Ethiopian rebellion. AS Winston
Churchill grimly put it in his recent
address to the House of Commons,
the Viceroy'S dwindling remnant
els being attended upon by the
patriot forces of Ethiopia" Between
them and the pursuing British, its
fate Is sealed.
Much more important are the
larger implications of Massawa'S
fall. Churchill stated these when he
said "The Red Sea has been virtually
cleared of enemy warships, which is
a matter of considerable and even
far-reaching significance" Screened
by islands and heavily fortified,
Massawa's harbor was a safe haven
for Italian destroyerS, speedboatS
and submarines, which have peri
odically sailed forth to prey upon
British conveys bound for the Suez
Canal. This dangerous nest OF
italian war craft has now been
cleaned out. Indeed. 1t Is reported
