Peach Crop

There is an old song, but not so old
that it can be heard on the radio,
entitled Everything Is Peaches
Down in Georgia" No doubt this is
an exaggepation, as Georgia must
have its share of lemons, but it does
seem that whatever peaches exist in
the State may all be in the same
basket-the jury box. A Senator in
Atlanta, perhaps appalled, at the
drabneSS Of the ordinary jury, pro-
poses a law that "All ladies selected
for the jury shall be under As years
Of age, have their original teeth.
roses in each cheek, feet not over
size S, hose requirements not under
size 912, beauty parlor treatment the
day before, wear perfume agreeable
to the bar and bench, and have
within two years won a bathing
beauty contest"
These requirements are quite dras-
tic, and will result in quality rather
than quantity on jury panels. In the
past Georgia justice reputedly has
been harsh, and 1t Is nice to think
that now she may have the fairest
1uries in all the land.

gestions. A bill introduced by Rep
resentative Smith of Virginia, which
is pending in committee, seeks a
Federal engineering survey of the
whole problem, with particular at
tention to a tunnel from some point
In Southwest Washington.
There should be as little delay as
possible in determining the action
to be taken. Access to the Capital
from the South has been seriously
inadequate for many years, and,
while completion of Arlington Bridge
and It's approaches has somewhat
alleviated congestion, there still
exists a condition which deters full

commercial facilities in nearby Vir-

Recreation Unificotion

There are some indications that
establishment of a separate recrea-
ton commission in the District, uni
flying the entire program and all
facilities in this field, may be closer
to realization this year than ever
before.
Officials of the National Capital
Parks Office always have supported
such a plan, and the Commissioners,
while at one time recommending
playground unif1cation under the
Board of Education, have not been
averse to the separate board or COM
mission. Superintendent of Schools
Frank w. Ballou, however, has been
adamant for school control because
Of the large amount of school prop
erty which would be used, but a
substantial section of the Board of
Education is thought to favor a COM
mission with adequate safeguards
for school interests. Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president Of the
board, is a strong supporter of the
commission plan.
A bill now under considerable by
the Board of Education would set up
nine-man recreation agency COM
posed of five private citizens and
representatives of the Board of Ed
ucation, the National Capital Parks,
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and the District
Commissioners. DR.. Ballou has sug-
geSted that the private citizens, to be
appointed by the Commissioners,
could represent the major civic bodies
such as the Federation Of Citizens
Associations, the Board Of Trade, the
Federation of Civic Associations and
others. DR.. Ballou has served notice,
however, that he will suggest amend
ments to the bill later.
There has long been agreement
that uniflcation Of program and
recreation facilities is necessary to
correct a situation where recreation
is supposed to be under the control
of the Commissioners and the school
board, while the co-ordinators salary
is paid by the parks office. Perhaps
this year will see all groups working
in the same direction, resulting in
real advancement for recreation in
the Nations Capital.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. Trdce1peu.

have phrased the sentence, wherever
you live, you are likely to have more
English sparrows than anything else"
Many persons do.
The point is that they also have all the
birds that Mr.. r. mentions and many
more, but the sparrows form the great
background birds, or basic birds, as we
have stated, in many many yards.
This does not mean that many gar
dens will not have few or no English
sparrows.
1t is all a matter Of fortune, or mis-
fortune, as you choose to regard it.
AS our correspondent admits, the rarer
birds do not flock together.
But five to eight pairs of car dinals, all
In limited space In one part of the
garden, will seem considerable of flock
to a chance observer
just why English sparrows visit some
yards-in bands-and scarcely ever deign
to appear in another garden, must re-
main among the many mysteries Of bird
life.
Arlington has many horses, and where
you have horses, you are likely to have
English sparrows.
But apparently gardens in that vicin-
ity are not much bothered by these little
fellows. We have had many other letters
saying much the same thing. Maybe the
sparrows are busy at Fort Myer.
1t is also probably the result of COM
paratively recent building operations in
the Virginia county. 1t has been only
within the past five years, broadly speak
ing, that nearby Virginia has gone to
town" in the residential line
The sparrows haven't had time to find
out yet that thousands of kind hearted
persons have moved over there, all Of
them tickled with their gardens and their
birds and their flowers.
+%
Those Virginia people, like sensible
persons everywhere, are finding out that
feeding the birds in winter puts an en-
tirely new face on the yard.
You know how 1t is
The average suburban garden is a thing
Of beauty in spring and summer, but in
winter it isn't much.
Most home owners seldom look out
the windows in winter
There is nothing much to see-pro-
vided one doesn't feed the birds.
Once you take up bird feeding, your
garden becomes even more interesting
in winter than it is in the warm months
For in it are living, breathing things
which are dependent upon you for their
very lives-or at least that Is the way
they make you feel
And in watching the birds, you watch
the wild rabbits and the squirrels and
the shrews and the mice and the rats,
maybe
You watch the yard closer, you notice
the heavens and the winds. and rains
and SHOWS become your familiars
You see spring come down this way
long before most persons.

ARLINGTON, Va.

Dear Sir:
I'm your issue of January IS. 194l,
your column contained the following
paragraph:
Wherever you live, you will have
more English sparrows than anything
else
ITO listen to some friends of birds
talk, you would think they had nothing
but chickadees, cardinals, mockingbirds,
nuthatches, titmice and many other of
the rarer birds.
"And these in great fiocks, too, despite
the fact that they do not fly or gather in
fiocks.'
I'VE live III Arlington County, and
about mile from Chain Bridge.
1--WE may be exceptionally located, but
we have very few English sparrows For
the past two months, we have had many
song sparrows and whitethroats and
some other sparrows among them.
I'VE have only enough Starlings TO be
interesting. We don't put out bread or
suet.
I'VE have all the brids listed in the Sec
ond paragraph of the above quotation.
We have at our various feeding stations
on the ground and on the window sill
four or five pairs of cardinals, several
chickadees, several titmice and nut
matches the nuthatches usually on the
window silD, sometimes IL or Is blue
jays. and mocking birds regularly for
their apples and raisins), and now, while
the snow is on the ground, Is or more
juncos or snowbirds.
with these appear an occasional Car
olina wren, some member of the wood
pecker family or bluebird. They often
all appear at about the same time and
seem to leave together.
These birds do not flock together, but
they leave that impression on q casual
visitor in our garden.
During many hours of the day, there
apparently is not bird in sight.
Our garden is unfortunately one Of
those in which the birds do not like to
bathe. We have tried several locations
for the bird bath, but none suits them.
Possibly a running brook nearby is
partially the reason. Our bird bath in
our previous garden In Bethesda was in
constant demand with a waiting line.
In summer it was almost impossible to
keep the bird bath filled-it was in such
constant use. Yours, A. H. F."
Our correspondent should not have
left out the preceding sentence:
I'VE will let Mrs H. in on a secret"
The gist Of the whole thing was to
solace that prior correspondent over the
fact that she had nothing but English
sparrows.
English sparrows. especially in winter,
are much better than no birds at all,
and we wanted her not only to know
that, but to understand that gardens
everywhere had plenty of 'em.
Perhaps it would have been better to

Genou Bomburded

When Benito MuSSolini last Spring
decided to carry his country into the
second World War, he probably did
not take into consideration the fact
that he was endangering Italy itself
as well as the Italian colonies in
Africa. The seriousness of his error
was made clear to him yesterday
when ships of the British Navy, under
the command of Vice Admiral Sir
James Somerville, blasted the city
and the port of Genoa ia Superba."
First reports of the raid indicate
that the guns of the Renown, the
Malaga, the Sheffield and the Ark
Royal "rained more than three hun
dred tons of shells on all parts of the
harbor." Legitimate military targets
were chosen for devastation. The list
includes power stations, fuel plants,
oil tanks, the AnSaldo Shipbuilding
works, docks, warehouses and mis-
front. Any or all of these losses, of
course, might be replaced in time;
but the damage inflicted upon ma
tional prestige and popular morale
is likely to prove irreparable.
1t happens that Genoa is some
thing more than the fourth largest
community and the most important
maritime center under the Italian
flag. The people of Italy know the
place as a town protected by st.
George and endowed with memories
of Columbus, Garibaldi and Mazzini.
For untold ages before the establish
ment of the modern italian state
the Genoese were famous for their
commercial empire. Greek and
Carthaginian naviga tors and
EtruScan traders settled the Ligurian
coast in the seventh century BIC.
The foundation of the original town,
then, was contemporaneous with
that of Rome Destroyed by Mago,
rebuilt by SpuriuS CaSSius, occupied
by the Lombards in GAL, sacked by
the Saracens in 936, defended
through two hundred years of bitter
conflict with Pisa, ruled by successive
"capitani del popolo" in the period
between 1858 and 1910, occupied by
Robert of Anjou and Charles vi of
France, dominated by the Sforza
family, made independent again by
Andrea Doria, there is no other
Mediterranean port more notably
rich in majestic traditions. Not even
the conquests of the Turks, nor the
decline ensuing upon the discovery
of America could do permanent
harm to a legend so gloriously
romantic. The Austrians were in
control for a while, Napoleon took
possession in 1896, the English msti-
tuted a blockade in 1900. A republic,
formed in 1902, was absorbed by
France; but that relation was broken
by the treaty of Vienna in 1915.
Thereafter Genoa was hotbed Of
revolutionary feeling. The Young
Italy" movement was strong in the
neighborhood. On May S, 1860, the

Perhaps the destruction now aecru-

Potomac CROSSING

Provision of adequate bridges
across the Potomac to Arlington, the
National Capitals fastest-growing
suburban area, is rapidly becoming a
pressing necessity.
For several months a special COM
mittee of the Council of Engineering
and Architectural Sciences has been
making survey of suggested
remedies. It's report to District
authorities provides a foundation for
future action and includes the con-
tention that a combination highway
and railroad tunnel either from Blue
Plains to Alexandria, or near the site
of present Highway Bridge, is not
economically sound. First on the
list of proposals is one for a S. 1000, 900
span across the river connecting the
terminus of New Hampshire avenue
with the Lee boulevard. This would
contribute much to the relief of pas
senger car congestion on the High
way and Arlington Memorial Bridges.
Early starting of the Great Falls
Bridge also is asked, although this
is primarily a scenic route which
would have little effect on daily
traffic movement.
Committee suggestions concerning
railroad crossings involve national
defense problems. At present the
railroad bridge is the only link con-
Meeting the North and South east OF
Harpers Ferry. 1t is proposed that
this span be rebuilt on a two-level
plan, with lanes for motor vehicles,
and that a supplementary bridge
costing $4.5OOOOO connect Blue Plains
and Alexandria.
These, OF course, are tentative sue-
