Rail Rute Protest

The Office of Price Administra-
ton again is intervening in a rail
rate proceeding. having petitioned
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to suspend passenger fare in
crease from 165 to % cents per
mile, tentatively scheduled to go into
effect October l on carriers in the
South. Several months ago the
OPA sought unsuccessfully to block
an advance in freight rates obtained
by the railroads to meet a general
wage increase.
The new charges would raise coach
fares in the South to the level pre-
vailing elsewhere. The Southern
lines went further than the others
in reducing rates to meet highway
competition, and, in seeking to get
back on an equal basis, told the ICC
that this traffic had been handled
at an annual loss of S22,000,000 for
the past six years. The OPA, stress
ing the necessity of Stabilizing living
costs. argues that the higher rates
would constitute an unnecessary
drain on the public in view of the
prosperity of the carriers, and says
that the ICC did not give the case
sufficient consideration when per-
mitting the increase.
The OPA submitted extensive data

have our Spots, Blackies and the like.
Lily Belle was named from one of the
characters in the summers best popular
song. Jingle. Jangle, Jingle" This is
supposed to be cowboy song, but is
rather more on the sophisticated side.
1t is really an old Elizabethan round.
This pet robins manner of becoming
excited when spoken to is one of her
best traits.
She manifested it from that moment
when, one week old, she was picked up
after she had fallen from the nest.
1t was terribly hot that day. She
would not have survived more than a
few hours on the street.
At the end of the first week. as readers
here may recall, she few down behind
bureau in the Toulouse, and was lost
for full "a hours.
This came about because she refused,
for some reason known only to herself,
to chirp when called.
Why at last she began to talk" no
one ever knew. The bureau was pulled
out, and there was Lilly, caught between
down, but not up.
Birds often find themselves in such
predicaments, in nature, and have no
human hands to release them.
1t has been real pleasure to know
Lilly
From now on we always iook at robins
with more than the usual liking.
Lilly is a fine bird, as handsome as
you please, with fine fat breast and
plenty of color.
She is conversational in her own Pc
culiar way, combined with sort Of
"shsgging' along branch as she speaks.
Some day next spring we hope to see
robin in the grass and to discover that
it is Lilly Belle, just In from South
Carolina.
When she will take off for that State,
however, remains the mystery.
Suppose she doesn't 60.
1t would be something of joke on
nature, and certainly on us, if she just
refused to 60.
Usually there are two or three robins,
in country districts, which roost in barns
all winter
Experts dispute about Southern"
robins and Northern robins, but to the
rest of us they are all just plain robins.
Lilly could have the Toulouse, for
winter quarters. but no doubt she would
have to share it with the squirrels.
We do not expect her to stay, however.
Instinct is too strong for that.
Some morning soon, now that cooler
weather is here, we will go out into the
yard, and call. but there will be no
answer. Lilly Belle will be we'll on her
way to South Carolina.

honor and dignity. The less they

Those words were written In 1902.
They reflect Christian motivation
which was appreciated then and
providentially still are instinct with
validity. Millions of citizens of the
nations leagued for freedom, dimly
perhaps but truly, vision the healing
OF the frightful wounds of this global

Need for Qualification

Just what is necessary to enlarge

population and expansion of the
Federal Establishments heavy con-

point that there is no menace in

cilities?
These are questions which should
De Clarified when the current study
OF the Water Department, instituted
by Senator McCarran, is completed
They are not answered by Senator
McCarrans partial review last week
or preliminary results of the study,
Tor there seem to be certain contra
dictlons between these results and
the previous requests from the Water
Department for emergency enlarge
ments of the water system.
- Last winter, for instance, Sanitary
Engineer Gordon testified at a con-
gresSional hearing that THE Dis
trlct faces a serious situation created
by the influx of new residents. There
Is not sufficient filtered water to sup
ply that population" About five
million dollars was requested in the
Lanham Act for enlargements of the
system and million dollars later
was allotted for additional pump
Ing facilities and extra mains to
Anacostia
But in his preliminary review of
the findings of Frederick H. Weed,
engineer In charge of the study,
Senator McCarran indicated that an
excessive amount of filtered water is
being lost through abnormal leak
age; that with comparatively minor
alterations and proper conservation
methods, substantial addition to
the present supply of water could be
made available, the implication be-
ing that these steps are adequate to
cope with the situation.
Perhaps the Water Department and
Mr.. Weed are looking at the water
supply problem from different points
OF view and there is no actual con-
,flict between them. But it will be
helpful to have the matter clarified.
1t deficiencies in the water system
could be remedied by stopping leaks
and other minor alterations, the
Water Departments previous state
ments have been extravagant. And
If Mr.. Weeds findings concern only
one part of the problem and neglect
others, then they are not complete
diagnosis and the prescribed cure
would be ineffective.

Discusses Economies
OF Wartime Production and Waste.


To the Editor Of The Star:
Let's not be too hard on Louis. Conn
and poor cid Uncle Mike Jacobs. Men
with far better academic backgrounds
yet fail to grasp that this is a war Of
goods-of .nanpoWer, of womanpower.
Money is but incidental Create a dol
lars worth of goods and you auto
matically create the dollar value that
can pay for it.
We hold a great sports event. Let's
say 1000 men are employed at a big
race track, and $4,000 more men wear
down the rubber on 10000 cars to see
'em run. The net loss to the war effort
Is what these 1000 workmen might have
produced on farms, plus what the 10000
spectators might have accomplished had
they stayed at their benches, machines
and desks, plus the wear and tear on
the priceless rubber. Even If the pro-
moters gave 100 per cent OF their takings
to Army relief, this production loss would
not be lessened one 1ota.
The true test of a patriot Is to ask
each night: How much needed goods
have I produced this day: how little OF
our precious and shrinking store have
Z needlessly consumed?"

Many inquiries have been received as
to whether Lilly Belle, the robin raised
by hand, returned to the home yard
before flying South.
Yes, Lilly returned. all right-and is
still here
Just when instinct will send her along
/ one of the fyways, we haven't the slight
est idea
She has been in the yard and neigh
borhood for about month. now, after
spending two weeks in the woods
At this writing, she is still around.
1t is easy to identify Lilly by her high
pitched, conversational voice, and the
way she hops along branch when she
talks to you
Few robins will answer back.
This is Lilly Bellies specially.
1t was her mark of Identification, be-
cause, of the scores of robins in the yard
since spring, she is the only one to talk
in this way
Being lady robin, it no doubt is
proper for her to do good deal of
talking.
xx
The fact that she first appeared on
the maple tree which was her favorite
when being brought up, showed that she
was the same bird.
An unmistakable habit is her way of
throwing her head up in the air as she
talks to her friends.
Then she hops along the branch, turn
ing around and around as she goes.
Probably no other robin in the world
has this habit.
She has never permitted herself to be
picked up again.
Apparently the trip to the woods with
the other Junior robins restored to her
just that portion of normal bird fear
which will be her protection.
That she knows her friends, however,
there can be no doubt.
When she left for the woods. raisins
were not among her favorite foods. Now
she prefers them.
She liked scraped beef and liver yolk
OF egg, and bread and milk particularly
when whole wheat bread was used. You
see, Lilly Belle needed no instruction
from the Government on what to eat.
The members of her tribe long ago de-
clded that foods fresh from Mother Ma
lures cupboard were best.
X X X
So if you speak to robin some day
this fall and it plainly answers back,
and combines this with a peculiar and
you may feel pretty sure that you are
speaking to Lilly Belle, herself
Many inquiries have been received as
to the origin of this name
