public must be developed. Perhaps
1t has been an error to stress the
10 per cent standard Of investment.
The wages Of some citizens are too
small for them to spare so much,
and the earnings of others are large
enough so that they ought to be
able to buy bonds on a larger scale.
What must be insisted upon with
regard to both groups is that the
Government has the power to compel
them to save, If they will not volun-
teer to do their utmost. There are
several ways to achieve the goal
indicated.
But those devices OF coercion ad-
mittedly are undesirable. The Treas
ury Department hopes to avoid them.
Its current dilemma is to create q
better approach than any thus far
used. Suggestions are being solicited,
and every American is entitled to
contribute whatever thought he may
have toward prompt, efncient and
conclusive solution Of the problem.

Passion PIuy

Hundreds OF residents of Washing
ton, it safely may be declared, will
take into their lives a new experience
when they behold the enactment OF
the Black Hills Passion Play. In
years gone by. considerable numbers
of their neighbors crossed the At
lantic to witness similar productions
in European villages where the blight
Of war had not yet been felt. The
performances at Oberammergau
probably were the best known to
Americans, but there were others
likewise worth seeing and it is to one
periodically presented at Leunen
that the drama to be enacted at
Constitution Hall beginning this eve
ming traces back.
Historians believe that the relation
between the church, and the arts Of
the theater has existed since long
before written records were kept.
The Bible contains evidence Of psg-
eantry, music and dancing Is forms
Of expression common among the
Hebrews In remote antiquity. BY

Better War Bond PIun

an experiment. And the results thus
far have been disappointing. It is
admitted by the Treasury Depart
ment that voluntary methods have
not reached the so per cent mark in
achievement on anticipated sales up
to now" One explanation Of what
that means is supplied by Shelley.
Tracy, vice president of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma and vice presi-
dent of the American Association Of
Advertising Agencies, who, writing
in Editor and Publisher, says:
Competition of rapidly increasing
earnings for steadily declining
quantity OF consumer commodities
must be halted. It is major cause
of imitation. It will surely lead to
forced bond buying If voluntary
purchase of bonds fails to increase
substantially"
But, Mr.. Tracy continues, forced
savings involve problems OF infinite
variety confronting each of the mil
lions Of families in the United States.
Law or edict authorizing it would
require almost divine insight and
wisdom. It's enforcement would en-
tail much hardship and injustice
and would require a great army of
Treasury employees. It could be

scend on US unless the means can
be found to sell more War bonds to
more people. go We can avoid forced
savings only in the discovery Of an
idea or plan with power to attain
bond distribution and volume. It
is a most urgent wartime need"
The difficulty up to the present
date appears to be that the public has
not been educated to understand the
significance Of the Governments
appeal for voluntary financing of
the war. It has asked the people to
lend for that purpose ten cents out
OF each dollar earned. The press,
the movies and the radio have de-
voted their facilities without reserve
to the task of persuading citizens
OF all classes to assume their fair and
equitable portion Of the national
burden. Some results, Of course,
have been registered. Yet the drive
mas not succeeded. This certainly
would not be true If every indi-
vidual American realized his own
responsibility.

War on InfIotion

At this stage of the game, there is
little If anything to be gained by
attempting to cast doubt on the ade-
quacy of the Presidents executive
order revamping the machinery for
stabilizing living costs.
The order, necessarily, is couched
in extremely broad language. For
example, it provides that "the Ma
tional War Labor Board shall not
approve any increase in the wage
rates prevailing on September IS,
1912, unless such increase is neces-
sary to correct Embellishments or
inequalities, to eliminate substand-
ards Of living, to correct gross in
equities, or to aid in the effective
prosecution of the war"
Obviously, under the stipulated ex-
ceptions, almost any kind of wage
increase could be approved. But
there is no justification for assuming
that these loopholes in the order will
be employed to authorize wage in
creases unnecessarily. The purpose
of the language used by the President
is to invest the director of economic
stabilization-former Supreme Court
Justice James F. Byrnes-with the
widest discretionary authority. Hence,
to very considerable extent, the
order will mean what Mr.. Byrnes
makes; 1t mean, and it is for this
reason that the selection of man
Of his caliber to head up the program
has been so favorably received
throughout the country.
What is needed now is the whole
hearted support of all elements to
insure the success of this latest effort
at stabilization. It is essential to
understand that the time has passed
when this domestic battle can be
viewed in terms OF economic gains
for some groups at the expense of
other groups. If the battle against
imitation is lost, everybody loses. If
it is won, everybody, speaking in a
relative sense, will be better of. To

is to invite economic defeat-and

matches. merry little birds, with their
fat sides and neat striped effects.
We would hesitate to call these birds
clownlike.
They do. however, have certain odd
ways about them which put them into
the class Of feathered merry makers.
One thing Is the bright CLINT Of their
eyes.
Another is their lack Of fear. It Is
said that they viii remain on q tree
even when the observer stands at its
base.
Nuthatctes come normally to suburban
trees, but may be lured by the establish-
n,ent Of . small feeding station on the
trunk.
This type Of station is usually Just
shelf with I roof over it.
It Is best placed on the tree trunk
not more than 8 feet from the ground.
Not that the bird minds it being high
er. but daily filing it is made easier.
Usually such feeders have to be nailed
on, to prevent squirrels from knocking
them down.
It must be realized that no type of
feeding station draws just one sort OF
bird.
All come.
With them arrive the squirrels, which
are just as much at home on or in q
tree as any bird which ever flew. It
might be said that squirrels are more
at home in trees, since they spend more
time in them.
Any good mixture of seeds will at
tract the nuthatches.
They are ut home equally with insects
and seeds.
They do not eat the seeds in the feed
ing station, but prefer to take the food
to limb, where they crack 1t. No seeds
are swallowed whole. Each seed, no
matter how small, is cracked open and
the meat eaten.
The way the bird spirals down the
trunk, into the station, and up again,
going around and around, is q sight for
any observer.

birds, it is always interesting to watch
the nuthatch make this trip.
i \
Even if no feeder is established, the
sight is open to every suburban gardener
with q tree on his property.
The white-breasted nuthatch has a
cousin, the red-breasted nuthatch, but
the latter is not seen very much here
abouts.
The white-breasted form is found in
Washington and vicinity the year
around, although at times, for several
weeks, 1t takes to the woods.
It will return, however, and make it.
self very much at home in any yard
where 1t has found food and drink. That
is why 1t is good idea to put 4 small

ence Of this fat fellow offers many re-
turns for the money.

cause, so the. Times showed that the
British ruling class on the whole is also
becoming aware of this peril
All Of these statements have one OBJ
vious conclusion: That we have got to
clean out the defeatists and appeasers
and smash Hitler now by opening a Sec
ond front in Western Europe.
Hitlers recent speech definitely showed
that he breads such action on our part;
his clustering and boasting prove be-
yond doubt that he has Nightmares
about the AEF and BEF landing on Eu-
ropes coast.
Can we afford to wait for Stalingrad
to fall, for Hitler to seize the entire
Near East, consolidate his gains and
ship millions Of troops to the west to
guarantee the failure of any second
front next year except one against Eng
land? Let's make up for our past mac
ton; let's open a second front now!

Dear Sir:
"This is bird I ought to recognize, I
know, but don't, so I am writing to
you to md out.
1T is sort of blue or black and white,
with much gray, and spends most of its
time on our oak tree not far from the
house.
1T Is always busy at the bark, winding
around the tree, and even going head
down on the tree. It is not very timid
bird, but comes regularly to this tree.
Sometimes 60 out and stand near
the tree, and the bird remains right on
the trunk, although now and then it
goes around on the other side.
II would like to know what this bird
Is, even If you do say at times that 1t is
not so important to know what they are.
I think it is pleasurable to know the
names of birds.
Sincerely, K. r"
The bird is the white breasted nut
hatch.
This is the famous "devil down-head

In real life, nobody ever uses such 4

There are many words, as well as

1t Is commonplace to speak Of q

pedantic, SO that it is practically never

an over the tree surfaces.
IN this way 1t not only gets its living,
bls it does real service to the tree.
There is no way Of telling how much

OF tree insects by these small birds pre-
Yeats great deal of damage.
It Is no wonder, therefore, that Amer

ception OF the yellow-bellied sapsucker,

dolgotha, acting was Q familiar cul-
tural method Of communication. The
Passion Plays Of italy, Provence,
Northern France, Portugal and Spain
had their origin in pagan customs
which had been absorbed into the
new faith with necessary changes.
In Bavaria, the Tyrol and the Salz-
burg Alps the same motivations and
the same processes were manifest,
but a nobler artistry was achieved.
The Oberammergau presentations OF
1900, 1910 and 1922 were examples OF
community genius developed to the
highest degree. Anton Lang, por-
traying the part Of the Christus for
three decades, became q power for

influence throughout the world.
Other personalities, however, arose
in Germany to destroy the civiliza-
tion Of which the Passion Plays were
a continuing source. The Black Hills

Joseph Meier, a devotee who has

Losing Production

The assertion by C. E. Wilson.
president of General Motors, that
production in his plants could have
been stepped up from 10 to Is per
cent If the War Labor Board had
been willing to approve proposals
for higher pay to workmen who do
more and better work deserves care
full attention.
Pointing out that General Motors
plans to hire 10000 inexperienced
men and women within the next
year, Mr.. Wilson called the attention
OF the board to the obvious fact that
the management faces tremendous
problem in bringing the efficiency of
these employees up to that Of expert
enced workers. And in many cases,
even the latter have to learn new
jobs and new skills.
To facilitate the solution of this
problem, the corporation made sew
eral proposals designed to improve
its war effort, including a proposal
for higher pay for workmen doing
more and better work. In support
of these proposals, Mr.. Wilson told
the board: "It is our considered
opinion that additional productivity
OF from 10 per cent to Is per cent
could have been obtained If these
proposals had been adopted. Not
only would this have resulted in a
greater output of war material, but
the Government would also have
benefited from still lower prices
since General Motors contracts pro-
vide for price renegotiation, so that
savings achieved through increased
production and greater efficiency are
passed on to the Government"
Despite these considerations, the
corporations proposals were rejected
by the panel which heard the case
and by the full board. Presumably
the board members felt that adoption
OF the principle of higher pay for
better work would tend to breach the
cost-of-living wage formula, although
there have been indications that the
board does not intend to follow this
formula In cases where its strict
application would affect war produc-
ton inturiously. It is also possible
that union attachment to general
pay scales, under which men doing
the same type Of work are paid at
the same rate regardless Of variations
in quality Of work. may have infiu-
enced the decision.
But. whatever the reasoning be-
hind the boards attitude, one may
question the wisdom of rejecting
proposal which, in the Judgment 1of
experienced industrialists, would
have increased war production from
10 to Is per cent Experiences and
common sense support the belief that
our war effort would be improved by
system Of rewarding exceptional
ability and exceptional effort ont
part Of individual workers.
