New Concept of Freedom

The crisis in which the American
people currently find themselves in
volved may prove to be an occasion
for the expansion and strengthening
of those principles by which they
live. Plain it is that only by the
demonstration of their powers of
armed resistance can they survive
the present struggle without sur
rendering their traditional liberties.
The democratic civilization for which
their fathers fought must be de-
Tended today in contest more cruel
than any of the past. Force to the
utmost" as Woodrow Wilson phrased
it a generation ago, is imperative
If victory over the Axis aggressors
is to be achieved.
So much the generality of citizens
of the United States know without
again being told. Few families are
there from which some member has
not gone forth to do his part that
government of the people, by the
people, for the people, may not perish
from the earth" The words Of

THIS AND THAT
Bu Charles Z. TrncetUeH.

count We know Of the carpenter bee. His
praise is all for the female.
THE female" he says, is real car
penter.
II have watched her construct her
home from the very start. She generally
selects soft pine board or post we'll
protected from the storms. Under the
caves or projecting roofs of houses and
porches are favorite places. l have never
seen them bore in oak or other hard
wood. Before houses were made, they
tunneled into the dead branches OF pine
and linden trees, and occasionally one
may still see holes bored in tree in
their native haunts.
After selecting a site for her home,
the mother begins to bite out pieces Of
wood with her strong cutting jaws. op-
Grated with powerful muscles. With
these tools she bores her tunnels. AS
she works she moves round and round
attacking the job from all sides to pro-
duce symmetry. Little chips of sawdust
may be seen to fall to the ground or go
floating off through the air. The work
progresses slowly at first, for she has to
bore against the grain of the wood. She
makes her hallway about three-fourths
of an inch deep, or nearly the length OF
her own body. 1t is almost half an inch in
diameter, round smooth, and more neat
ly done than hole made with a car
penter's auger."
Mr. Medsger continues:
She now starts to work on her real
home by boring tunnel at right
angle to her entrance hall. The work
now apparently becomes easier for she
follows the grain of the wood. The
tunnel is made half an inch in diameter,
and ranges from 10 to 18 inches long.
"She belongs to no labor union and
does not work on an eight-hour system.
During the warm July nights one can
often hear her at work biting off bits Of
wood accompanied by sort Of humming
grunt.
IF the wood is not too hard, she bores
about half an inch day. Here is no
easy task The mass of sawdust and
chips as it accumulates is passed back
ward by her front legs which she uses
as hands. 1t is then swept out by the
stiff brushes of hairs on her hind legs.
I have examined many of these tunnels,
some of them 18 inches long, constructed
in inch pine boards, yet in not one of
them has the tube come to the surface.
She is true carpenter.
when the tunnel is finished the
mother makes separate room for each
little bee by putting in partitions made
Of little chips and sawdust glued to-
gether with some sticky substance. The
chambers or cells are nearly three-quar-
ters of an inch long. The mother puts
into each cell loaf Of bee bread. Bee
bread is made of pollen, held together
and sweetened with honey"
Mr.. Medsger says that carpenter bees
clean out the old tunnels and use them
year after year. yet every summer new
holes are bored, too.

"THIRTY-NINTH STREET,

Dear Sir:
"A little item for your column, which
was interesting to US and may be to
others.
I'VE had tray for feeding birds sus-
pended from the porch ceiling, Some
time ago we noticed large humble bee
lowering around it at various times.
Later, we took the tray down and set 1t
against the wall of the porch (on end.
I'VE noticed a small pile of sawdust
near it and on examining it found hole
had been drilled in the side of the tray
about quarter inch in diameter. Every
morning we found similar pile. My
wife watched it, and at one time saw the
head of the bee in the hole and 1t was
putting out sawdust with its head.
1--WE have never seen a more perfect
hole than the bee made Apparently
1t was extending the opening in the in
terror. The sawdust was as fine as -four,
of large tablespoonful.
I'm the meantime we noticed it leaving
and returning to its work. 1t did not
bother any one on the porch and appar-
entity did the saving at night.
1--WE had to move the tray to another
place and the bee disappeared.
This was new lesson to us as to the
ability and patience of humble bee.
Sincerely, T. H. j."
+N"
Carpenter bees are among the most In
teresting of all insects.
There is carpenter wasp, too, but we
are sure that our correspondents insect
was a female carpenter bee. which Is as
large as humble bee and looks very
much like one.
Carpenter wasps tunnel In wood, too,
but the channel is not more than inches
long, whereas the carpenter bee will eX-
tend the tunnel for 18 inches, In some
cases.
In addition to such wasps and bees as
most persons know. there are potter
wasps, and mud daubers, and those
which make uncovered paper combs.
Then there are the yellow jackets OF
childhood memory.
It has been estimated that there are
as many as $4,000 cells in yellow Jackets
nest and nearly that many young.
Stirring up hornets nest" the old
saying, is taken direct from nature and
experience.
The carpenter bee is called, scien-
tifcially Hylocopa virginica.
The male bee is drone, and has no
sting.
The female is about the same size, but
has black eyes-and sting.
She does not have pollen baskets on
her hind legs, as do the humble bees, but
has a stiff brush of short hairs on them.
She uses these brushes to sweep saw
dust from her home

Pay Roise Deferred

The announcement by Chairman
Ramspeck of the House Civil Service
Committee that Government pay
legislation will be held up until fall
Is disappointing but not surprising.
1nsistent bonus demands by groups
which would not benefit from the
administration plan to pay overtime
in the departmental service made
1t certain that Congress would seek
to work out compromise, and while
Chairman Ramspeck now is ready
with a bill intended to satisfy the
various interests involved, time is too
short to do anything with it until
after the summer recess.
The losers are the thousands of
men and women in the departments
and independent agencies who will
continue indefinitely to work over
time without compensation. Their
week has been heightened from
thirty-nine to forty-four and forty
eight hours, and it was only simple
justice when President Roosevelt
proposed that they receive time and
one-half for hours in excess of forty,
up to a limit of $4,000. 1t is un-
fortunate that this measure could
not have been disposed of quickly
on its own merits, as it meant a
great deal to those in the lower
brackets.
Evening star., 1942-07-13

Abraham Lincoln, spoken at Gettys-
burg in 1868, have meaning and
a significance as compelling in 1912
as they had when first they were
uttered by their great-hearted
author.
Many of those who pondered the
value of such a concept of society
in years gone by naturally were con-
tent to judge it in terms Of appli-
cation to single community, a sepa-
rate Nation. Gradually, however,
the capacity of outlaw groups to
stir up mischief in the world in
creased until it no longer was feasible
for America to maintain its own
integrity exempt from the disturb
ing influences of the universal con-
f1ict. With vast reluctance, but with
constantly growing determination,
the whole population of the United
States now is being enlisted to the
end that humanity at large may
escape enslavement. Perhaps the
bitter experience of these times was
necessary for the instruction of mil
lions of men and women in appre-
citation of their privileges of freedom.
In any case, it already is evident
that the challenge to liberty is pro-
duclng new comprehension of it's
preciousness even to the humblest
souls. 1t now is important to
many who until few months ago
never had paused to think about
what a hell this planet would be
without it. Peace likewise has be-
come an imperative requirement to
multitudes of people who previously
had taken strife for granted as an
evil for which there was no cure.
And Righteousness also is recognized
as an essential rule of conduct
among empires as among private
individuals.
In anticipation of the fulfllment
Of the ideal thus delineated, Ben
jamin Franklin toward the end of
his prophetic career wrote to
friend: God grant that not only
the love Of liberty but a thorough
knowledge Of the rights of man may
pervade all the nations of the earth,
so that a philosopher may set his
foot anywhere on its surface and
say: This is my country"
The combat personnel of America
employs less flowery language, but
it shares the same ardent hope and
confident expectation.

New Tux Bill

The one certain thing about the
new tax bill which has been finally
approved by the House Ways and
Means Committee is that it will
satisfy nobody. In attempting to
pass judgment on the merits of this
vastly complicated measure, how
ever, it is we'll to bear in mind that
1t is the product Of more than four
months of intensive work on the part
Of committee members and that it
necessarily represents their compos-
ite judgment. Hence, while it cannot
conform to any individual concept
of an ideal tax bill, it may we'll be
that it strikes the best average that
could be expected
At the outset, it is conceded that
the measure will fall far short of
raising the $8,7O0, 100000 in addi-
tional revenue which the Treasury
had urgently requested. Spokesman
for that department estimated that
the bill will bring in about $780,
100000, while Committee Chairman
Doughton has said that the total will
be nearer $7OOO,OO0,OOO. In either
event it will be the heaviest tax load
ever assumed by the American
people.
+ In last-minute changes, rejecting
uncertainty in the minds of commit
tee members themselves, the burden
which the bill places on corporations
and individual income taxpayers was
materially increased. This came after
a final proposal to adopt sales
tax had been turned down and after
special, and apparently unwarranted,
tax concessions had been made to
members of the armed services. In
it's final form the bill, in addition to
boosting the normal and surtax cor
porate rates to combined As per
cent, provides an excess profits rate
of 87.5 per cent This is lower than the
originally proposed 81 per cent level,
but it involves abandonment of the
proposal for IA per cent postwar
rebate, intended to help corporations
make the difficult postwar financial
adjustments. 1t remains to be seen
what the precise effect of these very
heavy taxes will be. Certainly, how
ever, they will raise less revenue and
will not have the anti-inflationary
advantages that might have been
| achieved had the committee been
willing to take the political bull by
| the horns and recommend adoption
of sales tax.
One innovation in the bill which
should be welcomed is the provision
! for per cent withholding tax in
1943, to be applied to payment of
income taxes due in 1914. After 1943,
this withholding tax rises to 10 per
cent, and in future years, if this pro-
vision is retained, it will prove to be
an important factor in enabling tax
payers to pay all or part of their taxes
out of current income. Whatever
else may be said of the bill, this is
definitely a contribution to sound
future tax program.
