Floridu Pipe Lines

The pipe line across Florida which
would be authorized under a bill just
passed by the House is a necessary
link in a transportation chain by
which Federal officials plan to con-
meet the oil-depleted East with the
overflowing petroleum resources of
the Gulf Coast. This pipe line pro-
posal had been rejected by the House
less than three weeks ago, chiefly
because the authorization involved
possible construction also of a canal
across Florida. The barge canal for
transportation Of oil apparently was
looked upon by some of the legis-
lators as the discredited Florida ship
canal in disguise. The House, in re-
verSing itself, approved not only the
cross-Florida canal and pipe line, but
an additional pipe line from Missis-
sippi to Georgia.
Action of the House followed closely
on the announcement by Petroleum
Administrator Ickes that he had
sanctioned construction of second
hand" pipe line from the Florida
Gulf Coast to Jacksonville. This
project, sponsored by a Dallas firm,
would make use of pipe salvaged
from Texas fields and would have an
estimated daily capacity of $4,000
barrels. This project presumably
would require no legislative authority
and would be in addition to the Fed
eral pipe line. BY these various pipe
lines, officials hope within a few
months to start substantial move
ment northward of large quantities
of fuel oil and some gasoline from
Texas and Louisiana fields. The oil
piped across Florida would be loaded
onto barges and shipped up the coast
by way Of the intracoastal water
way, which is well out of the range
of Axis torpedoes. The croSs-Florida
barge canal would require much
longer to build than the pipe lines,
but would have the advantage of
opening a safe all-water route from
the Florida east coast to Gulf oil
ports.
Because of the urgency of the fuel
oil situation along the Eastern sea-
board, the Senate may be expected
to act promptly on this legislation.
There is no assurance that the oil
crisis, with its threat of a heating
crisis, will be relieved except by such
emergency measures as those con-
templated in the bill.

Fingerprinting for All

In view of the importance of fin
gerprint records as a means of
individual identification, the dis
closure of growing support in Con-
gress for the enactment of manda-
tory f1ngerprinting legislation will
occasion little surprise. Two years
ago bill providing for Nation wide
flngerprinting was defeated. With
the United States engaged in total
war, and the civilian population
facing possible air attacks, the argu-
ments for taking the prints of all
Americans are even stronger today
than they were earlier.
At the request of the Army and
Navy, employees in all war industries
are now fingerprinted. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation is receiving
an average of approximately 10000
fingerprint records a day, many of
them from civilians who have re-
quested that their prints be taken.
To extend this protection to the rest
of the population would entail some
expense, but the facilities are avail
able to do this efficiently and quickly.
Adequate flngerprint records would
make it possible to identify quickly
victims of air attacks for whom other
means of Identification were lack
ing, Universal prints would also
strengthen the defense of law
abiding citizenry against the GRIM
inal and subversive elements in the
country. Nationwide flngerprinting
would thus be of value both during
the war and afterward. For these
reasons, it is to be hoped that
mandatory legislation will be given
careful consideration by Congress.

Propaganda Stamps

The Post Office Department, re-
spending to months Of urging on the
part of the philatelic public, has
announced the forthcoming release
of the first two stamps of series Of
propaganda issues. One of the new
theological adheSives will be COM
memorative, intended to mark the
fifth anniversary of Chinese resist
ance to Japan. The other is win
the War" label showing rampant
American eagle originally designed
by Mark O'Dea for the exclusive use
of the Maritime Commission but now
adopted with certain artistic modifi-
cations for general national use
OF course, there is ample precedent
for the employment of postal paper
to influence the pattern of human
minds. The first stamp ever brought
out by any government was the
famous Penny Black of Great Britain,
placed on sale in London, May 6,
1847. 1t carried profile portrait OF
Queen Victoria SO agreeable to her
majesty that she ordered it kept
without alteration throughout the
remainder of her reign-a period of
81 years. There finally were more
than two thousand different varia-
tions of the primary composition.
Because of them, the countenance OF
the sovereign was familiar to hun
dredS of millions of people. She
was the most widely known woman
who ever lived.
A similar purpose prompted the
United States to select Benjamin
Franklin and George Washington
for representation on the earliest
stamps of American vintage-the
five-cent and the ten-cent denomina-
tions of 1847. Since that date every
President except Franklin D. Roose-
welt has been publicized in the
Nations philatelic gallery. The
whole story of the career Of Christie
pher Columbus was .old in a series
produced in 1898. Other sets Of high
educational significance were dis
tributed to advertise the st. Louis,
Buffalo, jamestown. San Francisco,
Philadelphia and Chicago Exposi-
tions. It now is possible to trace the

the lines at headquarters that, had
an actual bombing attack been in

delays in dispatching fire, rescue

The partial decentralization which
has been ordered is in line with prac-

entire development Of the civilization
Of the New World by the arrange
ment Of postal paper readily avail
able to any student. Art, science,
transportation, communication, en-
cheering, conservation, national de-
fense, sociological progress, medicine,
athletic games, even philosophy and
religion are included in the scope
Of subject material.
The cost Of such stamps to the
government is inconsequential. Ex-
penses involved in the making Of
plates and the actual printing are
met by the sale of specimens to
collectors who never require them to
do postal duty. AS to the instructive
connotations Of the issues now
scheduled, no question properly can
be raised. The Axis powers have

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles +. Trdce1DeH.

There can be no question that 1t Is q
great help to the parent birds.
Any amateur naturalist who has
knows that it seems an almost impossible
task.
Flight after flight, flight after flight,
and those gaping bills still cape for food.
1t seems at times as If the father and
mother will never be able to grab bite
to eat for themselves.
They become thin, and in poor feather,
and finally have to compel the young to
find their own food, in order that they
may get something to eat at last for
themselves.
Any food put out at this time is q
real help.
Sunfower seed, bread, raisins and
ground beef are the best summertime
foods.
All baby birds, whether by nature
seed eaters or not. are carnivorous.
Small worms and insects are the nat
ural food Of all species in youth.
1t Is not until the fall that the young
of the seed-eating species become seed
eaters for good.
So ground beef is always acceptable.
There Is practically no bird which
brings up family here in the summer
but will be glad for small mound Of
beef now and then.
Perhaps the best time to put it out is
around S o'clock in the evening, or per-
haps 6 o'clock.
The birds will come to look for 1t.
Bread, as our correspondent says, is
always good.
They like it in any form, dry or moist.
Even very stale slices may be wet with
water or milk.
There is only one danger to too much
carbohydrate in the summer bird diet,
and this is to the young of the English
sparrows.
These tend to become too chubby and
lacking in muscle, If they have access
to too much bread.
We take it that our correspondent has
few Of these birds. If he had many
English sparrows in winter, the food he
puts out would not remain untouched
for several days, or even hours.
r X -
There can be no doubt that large
increase in the number Of feeding sta
tions in a given vicinity will seem to
decrease the number OF birds.
On the other hand, there is no ques-
ton, either, but that the bird popula-
ton is on the decline.
Yet birds have an amazing resiliency,
and If the number Of persons who feed
them and protect them continue to grow
in the next 10 years as it has in the past
decade, the bird population Of the East
ern States may return to its pristine
condition of 80 or 40 years ago.
Persons interested in bird life must
not let war conditions deter them from
feeding the songsters. Bird life is one
of Americas real assets. without which
agriculture would not be possible.

Complains About Changes
In Public Park Triangies.

To the Editor Of The Star:
What extremely poor taste is being
used in the recent changes in the treat
nent of some of our little triangle public
park areas at street intersections!
Particular reference is made to those
two at the intersection of Nineteenth
street and Columbia road NV. What
were charming spots of bloom and foli-
age now are chains of clumsy and hide
GUS concrete benches, with the remain
ing space paved solidly with brick.
Such treatment might do in slum
area where the population is forced to
recreate on park benches because OF
the crowded and inadequate housing,
but in this part of our city there Is no
such problem and no demand for such
q solid series of benches.
The previous planting treatment also
provided q few benches Of the usual
park character, painted green to con-
form to the landscape, and these were
entirely adequate. The new benches
would disgrace a New York subway, and
the whole treatment is something to
cause q shudder.
The Star has done great deal for
the betterment of washington and /
wonder if it is not within the province
of your paper to arouse public senti-
ment against something that, II not
checked in time, may well proceed to
destroy what have been features OF
charm and beauty in the Capital?

WESLEY HEIGHTS.

Dear Sir:
II wonder If any Of your numerous
readers has discovered that great many
more birds come to their feed stations
during the months Of May and June
than during the bitterest months Of the
winter.
II have had such station outside our
window for the past IS years. Until
quite recently, put out feed only during
the winter, on the Theory that this was
the only time it was needed. During
the past several years, have been feed
ing straight through the summer and
have been amazed at the attendance.
Not only has the number Of cardinals,
chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, song
sparrows and jays greatly increased, but
in addition to these year-'round birds,
find that robins, catbirds, chewinks.
brown thrashers and other summer visi-
tors are on hand at all hours Of the day.
"One has only to watch for a few
minutes to find the explanation. Instead
of sitting around the box and feeding as
they do in winter, they cram their beaks
with food and fly straight to their nests.
where hungry mouths are always open.
-
"I understand that young birds each
day require the equivalent Of their own
weight in food.
when the parents have to provide
this in addition to finding enough for
themselves, they have a real food prob
lem, While the seed eaters choice seems
to be sunflower seeds. find that bread
in any form is carried away almost as
fast as it is pat out.
LAS soon as the f1edglings leave their
nests, they accompany their parents to
the feed stations, where they are given
their first lesson in feeding themselves.
IT have read somewhere that the rea-
son so many of the birds 60 far north to
raise their young is merely because the
summer days are longer and the parents
are thus provided more hours OF daylight
in which to find the food.
II put out food each morning and late
afternoon. During the winter the food will
often remain untouched for several days.
During May and June, however, the box
is always empty when arrive with fresh
supplies, and the birds begin to arrive
before am feet from the station.
"One thing which puzzled me for a
long time was the fact that my winter
attendance had steadily diminished for
several years. At first / thought the
number of birds was decreasing. but this
was not the case.
The answer is that the number Of
feeding stations in the immediate vi
cinity was steadily increasing. Ten years
ago think neighbor and myself were
the only people In the vicinity who had
feed stations.
To-day there are at least a dozen such
stations within an area of four or five
blocks.
Sincerely Y. E. B."
This column for many years has advo-
Gated summer feeding.

Reports Profiteering In Town
Near Military Center.

Reports PronteerinS IN loWh
Near Military Center.
To the Editor of The Star:
By no means is washington the most
expensive town or city in the United
States. I lived there for over two years
before coming here, June Is.
Even with all the soldiers at Fort
Bragg, which is only 10 miles away, and
having total of somewhere near 75,OO0
men. this town doesn't know there Is
war going on. Instead of making sacri-
fees to help our boys in the Army, all
the population Is out to soak them one
way or the other.
Conditions are so crowded at the camp
that officers and families have to seek
rooms and apartments in private homes.
The cheapest single room found with
out bath is $3.50 per night, and the
same rate applies if you pay by week or
month. The cheapest room for two Is
$3.50 per night.
Meals in cafeterias are in the same
proportion, entirely too high to be sur
rounded by the garden area Of Carolina.
Breakfast, consisting of two eggs, two
slices of bacon, one-half grapefruit, two
slices of toast and coffee, is 50 cents.
If for lunch you order cold plate, you
will get two pieces of lettuce, two slices
of tomato, a table spoonful of potato
salad, two thin slices of liverwurst, one
piece of pickle, together with small des-
sert and drink, So cents. For dinner II
one is hungry, he may order choice of
meats which consists of q slice suitable
for a sandwich, choice of two vegetables
one tablespoon of each-dessert and
drink which adds in their machines 10
cents. A medium steak, $l45.
Tragedy walks the streets here. Wives
