Qualify Handbags
British War Production
It's a Battle of 'Periscopes vs.. Proteins' as
England Feeds Soldiers and Workers
On Depleted Meat Supplies.

While farmers with their thoughts
on the crops keep an eye on the
weather these days, members OF the
department of agriculture are
watching the eastern Atlantic for
periscopes. The United States has
the food Britain needs, but not the
ships to deliver it. So it has become
a case of p]eriscopes versus pro-
TENS.
Give US more protein for muscle
tone" say British officials, land we
can step up our war production Is
to 20 per cent
Remember that meat is protein
and that Great Britain for the last
three years has turned two million
acres of meadow under the pillow.
1t was a painful thing for the nation
which for a hundred years has been
a master at animal husbandry and
raised the finest bloodlines of eat
ing animals in the world, to sacri-
fee that industry. But an acre OF
land in wheat or potatoes produces
more food in quantity than an acre
devoted to grazing. Quantity isn't
lacking in the British diet today, but
according to reports from British
sources, quality in certain tissue
building elements has had to be sac
rificed and now the British people
are beginning to use up their bodily
reserves.
The British have four million SOL
diers of their W that have to be
fed and also a huge army of wal
workers. The American food-for-
freedom campaign is well under
way and with the good weather that
seems ahead, this years crops ought
to turn out all that is needed at
home and abroad with careful con-
servation. But the ship crop hasn't
done so well. That is why the de-
partment of agriculture is scanning
the eastern waters as anxiously as
the navy department these days and
the British are looking even more
wistfully toward our shores.
At this writing there is another
burst Of optimism in some official
quarters regarding the scotching of
the submarine menace. And hope
is pinned on another crop besides
those the farmers are growing. 1t
is the crop of. small submarine
chasers and new destroyers which
it is expected will have reached
STABLE proportions within the next
80 days. And with this crop it is
hoped that a crop q subs will be
harvested-and them perhaps John
Bull will begin to (get some more
of the proteins and vitamins he
needs that are hopping out of Amer
lean soil now.

WITH UNITED STATES AIR
CRAFT WHERE OVER
ALGERIA, Dec. 8 (NANA0.-Col
Daryl Zanuck, the famous motion
picture producer who is now motion
picture adviser to the chief Signal
Corps officer with the United States
Army, is travelling with ME from the
front toward a new assignment in
the war zone. Americans would be
proud" he tells me, eff they could
but see their sons IN action against
the tough German divisions"
Col. Zanuck has been in the for
ward zone for the last 10 days, TAX
ing the first North African war films
for the Signal Corps.
The Americans and the British
are working together beautifully"
he goes on. THE suggestions that
they would not have turned out to
be wholly unfounded.. I have hud-
died in bitches, shell holes and bomb
craters with American and British
omcers and soldiers, and I found
each was as concerned about the
other as If they were brothers. Men
get a different footing here. Ma
tional distinctions vanish in good
fellowship"
Big-Time Stuff Now.
"The war is getting big-time stuff
now" he continues. The early
stuff was fairly easy but now we're
fighting Germany's crack Africa
Corps. There's bloody pounding day
and night. Men are wounded and
dying but there's wonderful team
work with the British. The way
every one plays all just amazes me,
especially the seasoned attitude of
the young Americans+just kids, you
knew.

hungry American boys clinging to

ment, I saw those deadbeat boys
suddenly form a line and make a
terrific toomy-gun charge like fresh
troops down long, brushy slope to
capture German position on the
Tunis road. The fighting is going
on in long, rolling valleys and from
the hilltops you can see Tunis."
Earns Great Reputation.

Parental OBLIGATIONS

In an era when it seems to be the
rule to recommend creation of new
agencies to deal with war-created
problems, 1t is well worth noting that
Captain Rhoda Milliken, head of the
Metropolitan Police Women's Bureau,
believes that there is no wartime sub
stitute for parental responsibility.
Captain Milliken told the District
Congress of Parents and Teachers
that parents, as individuals, can per-
form more effectively than any new
organization the vital community job
of protecting children from the dis
turbing influences of these disjointed
times.
They are your children and your
responsibility" Captain Milliken en-
phasized She suggested that par
ents and teachers join in discussing
the problem of adjusting children to
the changing conditions in the home
and on the outside, keeping in mind
that boys and girls Of an impression
able age are apt to be affected keenly
by the surcharged military atmos-
phere. In this connection, the Wash
ington Criminal Justice Association
in its recently published annual re-
port called attention to an increase
in juvenile delinquency in Washington
and warned that any relaxation Of
parental discipline, due to war dis
fractions, could have disastrous con-
sequences.
AS the mobilization of adults of
both sexes reaches farther and far
ther into every community and into
millions of homes, 1t becomes more
essential than ever that parents
not lose sight of their responsibilities
to the younger generation. To neg
lect these responsibilities would be
to open the way for a train of social
problems almost as devastating as
war itself.

0. c. D. and SABOTAGE

The presidential order providing
for coordination and supervision of
civilian protective measures against
sabotage is intended to strengthen
a weak spot in the Nations anti
sabotage program. Military objec-
tives already are under protection
OF closely co-ordinated counter
espionage and nti-Sabotage system
set up by the Army and Navy intel
ligence branches and the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation, But up to
now there has been no overall CO.
ordination of plans for safeguarding
such vital military resources as
communications, air lines, highways,
railroads, forests, mines, public utili-
ties and other facilities listed in the
directive.
Under the new arrangement, the
Office OF Civilian Defense will be
vested with supreme responsibility
for seeing to 1t that these essential
activities and properties have ade-
quate protection against saboteurs.
1t Is not the purpose, 1t Is pointed out,
to supplant anti-sabotage programs
already functioning effectively in the
various communities and industrial
centers. The owners and operators
OF utilities or other facilities vested
with public interest will not be re-
lieved Of their proper responsibilities
in this connection. The plan is to
check the measures now in force,
promulgate uniform rules for guild
ance and take steps to secure Coop
Grafton Of public and private in
terests concerned with the anti-sabo-
tage problem.
1t Is reassuring to learn from Ci-
william Defense Director Lands that
he is opposed to the creation Of ANY
huge force Of Federal employees" to
carry out the new assignment and
that the major part of the work will
continue to be done by agencies al
ready charged with the duty of pro-
tecting non-military works. BY ad-
herring to this program, o. C. D. will
avoid the creation of unframed pro-
tective groups which, II improperly
supervised, might develop into vigi-
lante-type organizations that would
do more harm than good

great fury.
Few other birds will do 1t.
He Is not as likely TO attack dogs as
mocking birds are. The latter, too, are
gray birds, with white showing when in
flight Almost every one knows the
mockingbird, however so we take Our
correspondents bird to be the bee mar
tin."
Among the many bird books, we might
mention Birds Of America" published
by Garden City Publishing Co.; the
Bird Guide" by Chester Reed "a pocket
manual, published by Doubleday,
Doran, and Bird Portraits in Color" by
Thomas Sadler Roberts, issued by the
University of Minnesota Press.
The National Capital, with its sur
rounding suburbs, is ideally located for
bird observation.
Cross currents of migration bring here
many species which are not found in the
Middle West.
Migration routes come down through
Pennsylvania and Maryland.
In addition to all the species Of the
Eastern States, we have many from the
North, South and West.
About all we lack are some of the
larks of the West.
At one time, perhaps 40 years ago,
Chevy Chase, Md. was said to have the
greatest bird population in the country.
Today this is disputed, since the great
building booms of recent years.
Birds, however, except for the very
shyest species, are not particularly dis
heartened by human beings. That is,
they will continue to come to old haunts,
although there may be more people and
more noise than in the past.
Many observers living in the most
crowded sections of Washington report
seeing wood thrushes, titmice, chicka-
dees and many others. The National
Capital always has been a city Of trees.
And trees, of course, are the prime at
tractors of birds.
Wherever there are trees, there will be
birds.
Every one knows how fearless English
sparrows starlings and pigeons are in
the downtown areas.
Eleventh street, for instance, between
| Pennsylvania avenue and z street, might
| almost be called English Sparrow lane
They fly from the canopy over the load
Ing platform OF The Star to the awnings
across the street.
Several years ago sparrows nested in
one Of these awnings and the proprietors
gave orders that 1t be left unrolled until
| the birds were Matched and out of the
nest.

east side Of the street, and above this

Overtime Puy Plan

The overtime bill urged on Con-
gress by the Civil Service Commission
with the approval of the President is
an equitable measure 1t is designed
to take up some Of the lag between
the lower brackets of the Federal pay
scale and the sharp advance that has
occurred In living costs since the out
break of the war. Further, it en-
bodies the same principle of extra
pay for excess hours of labor that the
Government has applied in private
industry, and, as a matter of fact,
for some of it's own personnel.
Applicable to employees paid on an
annual basis, the bill prescribes an
overtime rate of time and one-half
for hours over forty, where the addi-
tional compensation does not raise
the individual salary above $780,
Approximately 96 per cent of the
Government force receives less than
this. Varying overtime allowances
already made for certain groups in
departmental and field services would
be supplanted by the proposed sched-
ule, and employees on daily or hour
ly basis whose overtime is less than
time and one-half would be raised to
that level.
Overtime, to be paid for, must
be ordered by the head of an
agency. With perhaps minor excep-
tions, the departments and inde-
pendent establishments for several
months have been on forty-four or
forty -eight-hour schedules, having
abandoned the statutory thirty
nine-hour week because of the pres
sure Of war work. The thousands Of
workers in these units, consequently,
whose overtime has been uncompen-
sated, stand to benefit by the legis-
lation.
While administration leaders have
expressed fears that widespread pay
raises will encourage imitation, 1t has
been recognized that some circum-
stances justify increases. When, as
here, wages generally have remained
at the same level while living costs
were going up about IS per cent, a
partial offset is not subject to the IN
flation objection.
The commission proposal is sim
ply an emergency measure along the
lines of that found necessary in the
First World War. and Congress no
doubt will weigh it in that light.

The Soqu of q Song

The death OF Mrs. Anne Paul Nevin
at Greenwich, Connecticut, on Friday
last, prompts recollection of two great
American love stories which, even in
the midst of war, deserve remem-
brance. She was the wife of Ethel
bert Nevin and one Of the persons
most intimately concerned with the
writing of song which is immortal
the ballad universally known as The
Rosary"
But the composer Of the music was
not the author of the words. 1t is to
Robert Cameron Rogers, a native Of
Buffalo who, after graduating from
Yale and travelling widely abroad
spent the longer portion of his life
as banker and newspaper publisher
at Santa Barbara, California, that
the world owes the poem beginning:
"The hours I've spent with thee, dear
heart,
Are as a string of pearls to me-
If the verses were not addressed
to Beatrice Fernald, whom Mr. Rogers
married July 81, 1898, they at least
were applied to her and represent
gift of devotion from their creator
The sentiment, however, was shared
In a particular degree by the Nevins.
When the manuscript was finished,
the composer gave it to his helpmate
as a gesture of affection. A child
hood friend, Miss Elizabeth Dixon, is
credited with having sent a clipping
of the poem to Mr.. and Mrs. Nevin
In the hope that they might wish to
set 1t to music Her wish having
been gratified, the song publicly was
sung for the first time at Madison
Square Garden Concert Hall, New
York, February IS, 1o98-just six
months prior to the wedding of Mr.
and Mrs. Rogers.
The singer of "The Rosary at its
premier presentation was Francis
Rogers, probably not relative OF
Robert Cameron. His performance,
according to tradition, was "coldly
received" Perhaps the fact that at
the moment the U. s. S. Maine was
blowing up in Havana Harbor may
have had something to do with the
lack Of enthusiasm allegedly mani
tested by the audience.
In any case, the song was destined
for fame. 1t may not be the noblest
endeavor of either Mr.. Nevin or Mr..
Rogers. The one wrote greater melo-

Meeting q Need

Probably no Federal agency knows
better than the Federal Works
Agency Of the hardShips that have
been placed upon District recreation
officials through the taking over of
downtown recreational facilities for
defense purposes, because the F. w.
A. has charge of Government space
procurement through its Public
Buildings Administration.
BY the same token, since it is
called upon to provide office space
for employees, it is in a position to
know intimately the nature of col
lateral problems created by the influx
of war workers who have swarmed
to Washington since the outbreak of
war for this country last December.
1t should therefore be an easy task
to persuade officials of the F. w. A.
not only of the urgency but also Of
the equity of allotting $1,40O,OO0 to
the District and to the National Park
Service from Federal Lanham Act
funds to develop park and play areas
to the point where they may be used
by the swelling summer population.
The 100000 asked by the District
would be used to grade and surface
property already owned by the city
to replace, in some measure, the
baseball fields and other facilities on
which temporary buildings and other
defense structures are now standing.
The 100000 sought by the Park
Service would provide bride trails,
picnic grounds and the like for Fed
eral employees.
Federal needs created the problem.
Federal workers brought here for
Federal jobs, and Government gaso-
line and tire rationing have made it
worse. Clearly Federal money should
provide the remedy and Lanham
money is desigf1ed for just such a
situation. The Federal Security
Agency has appraised the problem
and has indorSed the proposed allo-
cations. F. w. A. and the Army and
Navy, whose approval must still be
obtained, can well do likewise.

Dear Sir:
Sunday evening about o'clock was

He was q dark gray on top and looked
to be whitish underneath, and he had q
decided top-knot. My dog was lying
stretched out on the ground and this
bird fSw around him every once In .
while, pecking at his back.
He would hop all around the dog, then
he would ny up q little way and come
down and peck him on the back. The
bird kept this up for about five minutes
Then some one came into the yard and
he few away
We haven't seen him since. Can you
tell what kinc Of bird this was2 I will
be looking for your answer in your
coiumn.

Please give me the name Of the best

Il enjoy your column very much.
Thank you. Sincerely. c. r. c."
Our correspondents belligerent bird Is
probably . kingbird or bee martin.
This is . fne bird, which will even
attack hawks.
Numbers Of them are reported every
year from nearby Maryland.
The kingbird is sometimes called the
tyrant fiycatcher.
1t is about 8 inches long. CThe car
dinal is between 8 and Q inches)
The kingbird, q born fighter, is said to
be afraid Of the catbird.
The term bee martin" Is given the
kingbird because some persons, espe-
cially In country districts, have report
ed that 1t catches bees in flight.
Onithologists generally regard this
claim as quite stretched. Out Of more
than 800 stomachs examined only ~ had
bees in them. There were 81 bees, in
all, Of which almost all were drones.
-
The kingbird is ashy-black above;
white, shaded with ash color below.
A concealed crest Of orange-red can
be erected on the crown. The tail Is
black, terminating with q white band
conspicuous in flight. The wing feathers
are edged with white. The feet and bill
are black
A large proportion OF the kingbird's
food consists Of harmful insects. In
this respect he is one of the best Of birds.
The number Of bees he gets may be re-
garded as negligible
He will attack crows and hawks at
