served a search warrant on Mar

as legal as the dickens and fairly
bristling with legal sounding phras-

against the reace and dignity of
the people Of California
If that hat contributes any

itself anT to get used to association with
other birds of It's own species.
We have heard it said that too much
contact with humans gives such bird
an odor which is not liked by other birds.
Some observers have sworn that truly
wild birds will peck such a bird to death
when 1t is released.
AS far as our observations go, there is
no Justification for this belief
Lilly Belle, the pet robin, mingled free
ly with other robins before she few away,
In fact. it was by associating with one
particular ROBIN that she got the idea
of free fight
We have thought that between them
they cooked up" the idea of flight
AS soon as an adopted bird can fly we'll,
1t should be given the opportunity to
take to the outdoors.
At first 1t will come down for food
when called
1t Is a good plan to watch over it,
as much as possible. Sometimes this will
mean remaining in the yard with it for
hours at time, to see that in its un-
uariness 1t is not harmed.
At night 1t Is safe in the trees.
Gradually, little by little. it will eat
less and less from the hand seeking its
food for itself in nature
This is the way bird should live
Some day, without warning, it will not
come down, and will leave the neighbor-
hood
There is nothing to Go except believe
that it is safe and we'll and is rejoicing
in its new-found freedom.
There can be no doubt that instinct is
powerful
1t teaches the bird in few hours what
human being requires years to achieve
Any one who brings up young bird
will be able to observe the desire of the
creature for its freedom. and will rejoice
with it at its sure ability to take care of
itself.
1t is only our lack of acquaintance with
nature that makes us wonder If it can.
The average bird which falls out of a
nest Is about a week old.
THEE or four weeks should be given
to feeding it, after which it should be
given its freedom as soon as possible.
It's handicaps are its lack of fear and
! its lack of experience at self-feeding
Only freedom will give it normal quota
of proper fear, and teach it to get its
own food. It's association with other
birds is necessary and invaluable. If its
first hours as a free creature can be
watched it will have every chance in the
world of taking its place with its broth

Foke Charity Appeals

In times like these, when there Is
q generous impulse on the part of
citizens to contribute money to any
cause which promises some benefit
to men in the service, the charity
racketeers" are quick to cash in.
Thus, the warning from the War
Hospitality Committee of the United
Service Organizations to be wary of
the quacks in the field, who promote
all sorts of benefits for servicemen"
by ticket selling and other devices
in order to line their own pockets.
The promoters, according to evil
dence gathered by the Better Bust
ness Bureau, do not regard so per
cent of the take" as too high a
commission, while the benefits to
servicemen are hard to find.
Citizens should be slow to respond
to telephone solicitations, especially
from organizations with fetching
titles and glib accounts of great
plans. II in doubt. call the Better
sonal investigation Of claims. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are
paid out every year to fake charity
promoters who are quick to cap
italize on public generosity.
There should be legislation to
license or otherwise control the
activities of agencies which make
appeals to the public for funds. Most
of the legitimate agencies which de-
pend on public contributions for
their work favor the principle Of
such legislation. Some perfectly
genuine organizations, on the other
hand, are skeptical of licensing-for
reasons which do not enter into the
legitimacy Of their appeals.
Some time ago the Commissioners
Evening star., 1942-08-22

announced that an attempt would
be made to frame legislation de-
signed to run the charity rackets"
out of the field This legislation
should not be discarded simply be-
cause all objections to it's principles
by bona flde agencies cannot be
overcome. The legislation is really
needed in the interests of the public.
No agency should have the right to
launch appeals and collect money
unless 1t is prepared to establish
its responsibility. The need for ade-
quate legislation is greater now than
ever before.

ATLANTA, Ga,

Dear Sir,
For several years my husband and
enjoyed your column on birds in The
Star very much. Now We are living in
Atlanta, and are confronted with a real
bird problem and it occurred to us that
you probably could give us valuable ad-
vice and might be willing to do so, as l
know you love them.
Seven weeks ago small baby bird
fell down the t1ue of our open fireplace.
We fed it milk and water with a dropper
and put it in spare bird cage. My bird
book showed lis that it was a chimney
swift, the long swallow wings, spiked tail
and continual twittering proving it.
The bird has grown full coat of
feathers and now eats flies. hamburger.
hard boiled egg yolk and bread and milk.
He is developing diarrhea rather badly
and I feel that this diet is not correct.
We would like very much to let him go,
but wonder if he can possibly catch his
own insect food as he has not been
taught Of course to feed himself.
Il read that this species migrate and
We want to let him loose In time to join
others going South. He flies we'll now
out on the screened porch and Is very
tame and amusing, so much so that we
would like to see him fly away and live
as he should, but we fear he would be
unable to care for himself as he depends
on US to give him all his food
These birds, AS you probably know,
hang by their claws in vertical position
and he simply hangs on the side of his
cage and chatters away and opens his
mouth for food when we bring it.
If you can give US any advice as to
more proper food and if you think it
wise to keep him longer or not, We would
be grateful. Do you believe he would
have a good chance if let loose and would
his instinct teach him to care for him.

Sincerely, D. A. M"
Very few persons who start to bring
up baby bird stop to realize at first
what wrench the parting will be.
Probably nobody except very kind
hearted person will undertake the task,
In the first place. and such is exactly the
type to find parting such sweet sorrow"
The big problem is when to release the
bird, and where and how
One is so intent on getting the bird
to eat, and seeing that it progresses, that
the inevitable end is not foreseen.
The bird becomes a problem.

Defends PUG Chairman
As Friend Of Citizens.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Those of us interested in utility mat
tiers in the District have been wondering
just how soon efforts would be made to
silence Gregory Hankin, chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission, for his hon
esty and frankness where public interest
Is concerned. The Star for August 18
carries the story of the two other men,
bers of the commission "ousting" him
from the Craftsmanship.
Mr.. Hankin took the Job with the
avoWed belief that every citizen with a
complaint is entitled to a hearing. He
organized monthly forums for represen-
tatlves of the various citizens associa-
tions and the utilities to learn their
problems and to give them better
understanding of the nature of the work
OF the PUG. Commissioner Kutz, who
seemed to have different idea about
the citizens right to be heard, never
attended any of the forums. When a
third member was appointed to the PUG,
Mr. Hankin began to be overruled
In one OF the early hearings before the
and zone question, Mr.. Hankin was will
ing to grant the drivers a temporary in
crease to 80 cents in the first zone pend
ing final settlement; Commissioner Kutz
opposed any temporary relief and only
gave in after the drivers threatened to
strike and pleaded almost with tears in
their eyes for the higher rate. Yet the
He has tried to justify the use of gaso-
line and tires by making the taxis serve
more efficiently and without discrimina-
ton, he has tried to remove rate dis
examinations against residents of the
Southeast section of the city. The driv-
ers resent any regulation.
Mr.. Hankin made the crosstoWn bus
reality after it had been agitated for
years; he has obtained extensions of
bus lines to new subdivisions and only
recently insisted upon public hearings
when Mr.. Van Duzer proposed drastic
changes in bus service without benefit of
hearings. He is opposed to increases in
rates Tor gas consumers unless such in
creases can be proved absolutely justi-
ned; he opposes issues of stock by utility
companies in such amounts as to be
dangerous financial practice he insists
upon hearings in cases where the utili-
ties interests expect to get go ahead"
signals without due investigation.
One man. representing a large associa-
ton, told Mr.. Hankin at one of the early
forums that he was storing up trouble
for himself in his resolute fight in the
public interest and that this association
would fight any move aginst him. Other
associations have gone on record at their
meetings as approving his attitude and
some have even written President Roose-
welt to express their appreciation of Mr..
Hankin's appointment. Every thinking
citizen of the District, as an individual,
and every organization should protest
Immediately concerning this smear"
of the only man in the District govern
ment who dares to stand up for the
rights of the forgotten man"
