ZooIoqicuI Mystery

biologists have recorded millions
of species and subspecies of living
creatures ranging in size from whales
to germs, and continually discover
so many more that they have to cut
up Latin and Greek dictionaries,
shuttle and draw, to get enough
different impressive names for their
finds.
Yet with all this research, there
are fauna they never seem to dis
cover or investigate, and which re-
main entirely in the hands of the
laity. Among these are the hoop
and glass snake, the sidehill mooney,
and especially the sea serpent. The
latest sea serpent, for instance, was
observed of Grand Manan Island in
the Bay of Fundy this spring, not by
a trained zoologist but by a number
of ordinary lobster fishermen.
The glasses they had along, al
though adequate for their purpose,
were not of the sort with which to
make accurate scientific observa-
tons. In consequence, instead Of
attempting to advance the cause of
knowledge by capturing the animal,
they all hurried home to change
their brand before they saw some
thing worse. Complete information
about the creature is not likely to be
obtained until there comes along one
of two beingS-either a geological
sailor or a sea-going zoologist.

Favorable Response

Suggestions for staggering pay
rolls of the Federal and District
governments seem to have met
with a generally favorable response
throughout the community.
Asked for an expression of their
views by the District Commissioners,
the Federation of Citizens ASsocia-
lions, the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association and the Fedora
ton of Civic Associations have sig
nified their Endorsement of the plan
advanced by Senator Capper of Kan
sas and Representative Hebert of
Louisiana to arrange for four in
stead of two pay days each month.
The Board of Trade, also asked for
an expression of its attitude, re-
ported that it had not completed
survey of its membership, but Will
liam H. Press, executive secretary,
said several days ago that all replies
received from members to that date
had been generally favorable to some
type of pay day Encouragement.
Two District Commissioners, J.
Russell Young and Brigadier General
Charles w. Kutz, have Endorsed the
plan in principle so far as District
government employees are concerned,
and the Maryland State and District
of Columbia Federation of Labor
went on record Wednesday as favor
ing some form of the plan.
Taken together, these indorse-
ments reflect a widespread approval
of a proposal which may be expected
to carry benefits for the employees
themselves, for business concerns
and for local officials charged with
such functions as traffic regulation.
Unless there is some persuasive rea-
son for rejecting the plan-and none
has yet been advanced-it should be
put into effect in some form without
delay by executive order or by legis-
lation, if the latter is deemed neceS-
sary or advisable.

The Ford Election

The victory which has been won
by the C. I. O.-United Automobile
Workers in a collective bargaining
election at the River Rouge and Lin
coin shops of the Ford Motor Com
pany climaXes a four-year fight to
organize the workmen in the last
big non-union plant in American
industry.
Henry Ford has made no secret of
his dislike of labor unions, and the
effort to organize his plant led to a
prolonged and at times bitter con-
troversy. But there is no miStaking
the significance of the result of the
election conducted under the aus
pices of the National Labor Relations
Board.
In the River Rouge plant, where
the vast majority of the ballots were
cast, 51,866 workerS-69.9 per cent
of the total-voted for the militant
CT. o. Union. The A. F. of L. Union,
which was late in entering the auto
mobile field and which has no i'm
portant unit in any plant, polled 27.4
per cent of the votes. Somewhat
surprisingly, in view of suggestions
that many Ford workers were OPP
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-05-24

posed to all unions, only 2.6 per cent
of the men voted to reject both the
G. I. o. and the A. F. of L.
AS a result of the decision which
has been made by the employees, the
Ford Company has no choice but to
comply with the law and enter into
collective bargaining negotiations
with the c. I. o. as the representa-
tive of all of it's workers. 1t is to be
hoped that both parties will enter
into these discussions with a sincere
desire to come to some mutually
satisfactory agreement, for the re-
quirements which will be imposed on
the Ford production facilities by the
national defense program are too
great and too urgent to permit of
delays due to labor troubles which
can and should be avoided.

Words AfIome

A quarter century ago, when the
first World War was raging, Arthur
Burrell brought together for Every
mans Library an anthology of poems
which aptly bore the title "A Book
of Heroic Verse" The editor in a
brief foreWord explained that he had
sought to assemble the most COM
pelling literary expressions of heroic
characters and heroic actions with
out regard to place or time. His
purpose was to stress 1.-The transcend
ent merit of man as an Individual"
If he we're writing now, he probably
would wish to correct his opinion
that the hero is always in the
minority; an heroic majority is I'M
thinkable." The choice of material
for publication in volume to inspire
a loyal patriotism, however, would
not be altered if the work were being
done while the second universal con-
f1ict is in tragic progress.
For example, it is natural that the
opening page should carry Sir Walter
SCOTS passionate denunciation of
the man, with soul so dead e. con-
centred all in SELF" who
"Doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he
sprung,
UnWept, unhonor'd, and unSung."
Especially interesting in America
at the prevailing moment is William
Blake's warning:
Prepare, prepare the iron helm of
war,
Bring forth the lots, cast in the spa
ciouS orb;
The Angel of Fate turns them with
mighty hands
And casts them out upon the dark
ened earth.
Prepare, prepare"
Meanwhile, for Britain In her
finest hour" the prophetic words OF
Alfred Tennyson have currently a
high significance:
'Let it flame or fade, and the war roll
down like a wind,
We have proved we have hearts in a
cause, we are noble still ...
I have felt with my native land, I
am one with my kind"
The confident faith which a true
bard feels may be discovered nowhere
better than in Thomas Campbell'S
declaration:
1.-THE meteor flag of England
Shall yet terrific burn;
| Till dangers troubled night depart,
And the star of peace return"
Milton, Byron, Keats, Shelley,
Gray, Browning, Burns, Moore,
Clough, the Americans Lowell, Whit
tier and Whitman-each of these
masters of words aflame Mr.. Burrell
enlisted for the rich fulfillment of his
| vision. But the source of the most
stimulating sentiments, as all who
know his writings will have guessed,
is the mind of william Shakespeare.
The greatest of poets has slept at
Stratford three hundred and twenty
five years, but time has not inval-

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdcetpel.

The nest is no larger than q thimble.
1t Is mostly situated in high trees, so that
few of us have ever seen it.
The nest is said to be amazingly beau
tiful. The egg, 1t can be imagined, Is
tiny, and the newly-hatched bird tiny,
too, SO that we are dealing here with
things on a very small scale.
Several years ago there was q story in
the papers about a hummingbird IN
California which built its nest against an
electric lighting bulb in the street.
The ruby-throated hummer is green
for the rest of him, and is always on
the go.
He and his wife love such flowers and
vines as the trumpet vine, the cardinal
climber, the scarlet sage, the petunia and
the gladiolus.
1t may be realized, from this list, that
red flowers, with trumpet shape, are
preferred.
This makes the gladiolus one of the
hummingbird's favorites, especially in
the red varieties, Of which there are
many.
The gladiolus has more insect pests
nowadays than 1t had Is or 20 years ago.
This is loss, from mans standpoint,
but gain from that of the humming-
birds. For these pretty little fellows are
after meat, after all, not nectar. While
they eat nectars, they prefer meat, Just
as many human being does.
What they are doing down the threats
of the bell-shaped flowers is catching
minute insects which are drawn there
by the fragrance or pollen.
The gladioluS, of course, has no fra
GRANGE, except for few recent crea-
tons, which are not in general garden
circulation.
Hummingbirds love the humble pc
tunias
Hence any garden, no matter how
small, which has plenty of petunias will
almost certainly have plenty of hum
mingbirds
Another way to attract them is to tie
small test tubes filled with sugar water.
to branches of shrubs
Fancy forms of these may be purchased
to lure the hummers. These are colored,
and made bell-shape, to please the little
birds. The fact that they also attract
ants is something to be reckoned with.
~
The sphinx moth, at one stage of its
life cycle, looks SO much like humming-
bird that many observers mistake it for
one
Some gardeners call this the Sunday
bug" since 1T usually appears on Sun
days and often on no other day,
Others refer 1t 1t as the "phlox bug"
since it loves to hover over these plants,
with much the same motion the hum
mers have.
There is tree in some suburban and
city plantations which is commonly
called the mimoss, which it is not, but
which, at any rate, will attract the
hummingbirds by the dozens.
Last spring we saw one of these trees
with fully 100 hummingbirds in it at one
time, truly wonderful sight yet really
no better, after all, than the picture
afforded by one hummer at window
box.
