Villas Lease

By MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK. April 17.-Now
that their daughters are mar
ried off"-and quite well, I
might add-New Yorks Count
and Countess Alfonso Villa
probably feel little need to
longer endure the expense, or
boredom, Of Newport, r. /.
Which accounts for their
leasing "Fairholme," their sum-
mer estate at the Rhode Island
resort, to the Robert r. Youngs.

"Fairholme" was acquired by
the Villas from Mrs. John r.
Drexel ST., now sadly i'll in
Paris. Completely rebuilt. Fair
holme" today bears little re-
semblance to the drab pile of
stone and wood in which Mrs.
Drexel entertained for many
years.
GOSSIP IN the social set I'm
which Alfonso and Helen Villa
move, Is to the effect they would
like to find a purchaser for
'Fairholme."
But the price paid for the late
Mrs. Oelrichs' "Rosecliffe" ($22,-
600 for a property that cost
s., 000,000) and that ridiculous
recent offer of $4,000 for Mrs.
Shipman's S2,500,0O0 "Seaview
Terrace" caused the Villas to
keep "Fairholme" out OF the
market-for the present.
At that, 'Fairholme" has
served its purpose, so far as
the Villas are concerned. 1t
aided. materially, in their climb
up the social ladder" and in
giving their daughters that GER
tain Newport social patina.

the Italian-born Alfonso Villa
and his American wife were
starting out on their metropoli-
tan social career. they were

But Italy's rather diminutive

years later. II is not a papal

and incorrectly-reported.

Both ri" and Aksel are deep
in war work at the Florida re-
sort and Aksel runs glorified
rummage sale there. the pro-
ceeds going to provide recrea-
tional facilities for our soldiers,
sailors and marines.
This past winter profits from
Aksel's rImmage sale ran high.
So high. in fact, he recently
was able to present TO the rec
reational officer of our naval
base at Key West, Fla, three
small yachts to be used by the
"gobs" for fishing excursions
among the Florida Keys when

his majesty had arranged to hire
Hessian troops to Tight against them
that finally stirred their spirit.
What actually happened, however,
appears to have been this: A ma
tional mind slowly but surely was
created by the gradual involvement
Of one person after another in the
struggle. The pattern of society was
altered by events. In terms of cul-
ture, economics, the ordinary Gus
toms of life, q new nation was
formed. The Constitution, arduously
formulated in 1887, was the definitive
expression of the new ideal.
OF course, the parallel between the
processes Of evolution here set forth
and the slow growth of . passion for
survival and for victory in the pres
ent epoch is not perfect. Yet there
are points of resemblance worthy of
notice. Few were the watchers on
the heights who saw the dangers dis
family discernible in 1893, not many
were the prophets who warned the
democracies Of their peril even As
late as midsummer of 1899. The
Japanese raid upon Hawaii awakened
millions to a consciousness of the
hazard in which civilization stands,
but the entire American community
not even now is organized to win.
Only day by day, 1t seems, will the
ultimate unity be attained. Yet the
challenge of tyranny Is aimed at
everybody and hour by hour that
solemn fact must increase in its i'm
pact upon the soul of each American
deserving of the name.

certain, however, that on the basis
of what the board allowed and what
the railroads themselves estimated
their needs to be, that the car build
ing program this year must be re-
duced about Is per cent from what
transportation authorities felt would
be required, and 1t is not unlikely
that the same ratio will hold good
with regards to motive power.
As Mr.. Eastman said, the War Pro-
duction Board has a tremendous
problem in allocating critical ma
terials where they are most needed.
But the railroads, which have done
and are doing an amazing job, must
be given the equipment necessary to

Step by Step

When the history of the early por-
ton of the eighteenth century is ex-
amined with care, it is observed that
the agitation against Great Britain
which subsequently resulted in Amer
ican independence was at first mere
ly minority movement. Prior to
April 19, ITS, when Paul Revere rode
out Of Boston to warn the farmers

very few individuals favored a COM
plete and final break with the mother
country. George Washington frank
ly opposed separation from the
crown. His attitude was representa-
tive of the vast majority of his con-
temporaries. Even after Lexington,
Concord and Bunker Hill there were
considerable numbers of colonists
who viewed with disapproval the
proposal to continue hostilities
against King George III.
At least one-third of the popula-
ton of the colonies watched these
developments without caring very
much what they portended; second
faction of approximately the same
strength was stubbornly faithful to
its traditional allegiance. OF those
men and women who desired inde-
pendence not all were agreed upon
methods for it's establishment and
defense. "They had . joined
hands, but a complete unison of
minds was lacking. Strangely enough,
there was hesitancy, in some quar-
ters almost a repugnance, toward any
effective bond of union" Only when
the King proclaimed the colonies in
a state of rebellion and de-
clared that he would use the might
of his realm to bring them to obedi-
ence" did the people realize their
situation and take steps to save
their property and themselves. Per-
haps it was the announcement that

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. TrdceioeH.

The Savannah sparrow, sometimes
called the Savannah bunting, is brown
ish. much streaked with black.
You have to be much better acquainted
with the sparrow tribes than most per-
sons to be able to identify these on
sight.
, No one should have an inferiority
complex because he is not able to
identify the sparrows and the warblers.
Only professional ornithologist
could do it. and probably many Of them
cannot. There is something very con-
fusing to the average person about these
birds.
The warblers seem an impossible tribe
to most home bird observers. Perhaps
1t Is Just as we'll, after all. because know
ing the name of q bird does not change
the creature in any way; that Is. it
server knows its scientific classification
or not. OF course, there is a certain
amount OF satisfaction in knowing the
correct classification of the birds one
sees, and this Is to be done at all times,
If possible. The point is that there Is
no need to worry over the matter. The
name will keep, as the old saying has it.
1t will not run away, but will stay snugly
in the books, ready at all times to come
to your aid If you put your finger on It,.
Looking up a bird in a bird book" Is
often as intriguing as a mystery story.

running down the desired name. This
is because one lacks the proper "clues." -"
The difference between species which
otherwise look very much alike are often
unobserved. If ones observation were
perfect, it would be an easy matter to
find the correct name of any bird.
The Savannah sparrow has 1t spelled
Savanna" without the capital letter
(and without the ''hD In its scientific
name.
The whole name is a good one, as
follows: Passerculus sandwichensis
savanna.
Quite name for such little fellow!
That familiar looking middle name
comes from the fact that the first one
was identified by a Russian scientist
from q specimen found on Sandwich
Island in the Aleutians.
This sparrow is held to be one Of the
most useful of all its clan, consuming
huge numbers of insects, including boil
weevilS.
Field spsrrows, chipping sparrows and
tree sparrows look very much alike.
Experts tell us to look for the reddish
bill and plain breast Of the field spar
row; the white stripe over each eye. the
white breast and gray rump of the
chippy, and the dark spot in the middle
of the breast of the tree sparrow.
Acquaintance with other sparrows is
q good thing. 1t not only gives the
observer new bird friends. but makes
him realize that the humble English
sparrow, after all, Is not as bad as he
has been painted. He comes from a
good family, and must have some good
traits.

A Whale of q Difference

The latest neutrals to become in
volved in the war are typical of the
entire neutral species which, though
harmless and minding their ewn
business, somehow get attacked.
This time it is the whales. Large
enough to be mistaken for small sub
marines, many are becoming casual
ties of Mars.
Apologies invariably are rendered
to the victims, sincere enough in
that the aggressor regrets wasting
ammunition on their extinction. IF
only you did not look so much like a
subj" sighs the gunner as he reloads,
Tough luck, old fellow!" OF course,
from the victims point Of view the
reasoning is cockeyed. Whales ex-
listed long before submarines and by
cetacean argument it is too bad that
the submarine so grossly tnfringes
on natures copyright, the whale.
They feel that in any unbiased court
their case would be clear. And so 1t
would.
Other neutrals often mistaken for
submarines and sunk without trace
are stray specimens Of that startling
but alcoholic species, the sea ser
pents. Fortunately in this case the
tragedy is not nearly so great. There
is no real danger of the sea serpent
becoming totally extinct as long as
fifteen or so sailors can sit on dead
mans chest, or anywhere else, with
Z bottle Of rum handy.

To the Editor of The Star:
I have written and written to news

about the need for adequate defense for

of Lake Superior. But the repercussions,
so to speak, are about like tiny fire.
cracker. Something like 10000, 900 tons
of ore are expected to pass down through
the 500 Canal this season. cannot tell
the proportion, but very high percen-
tage of all this ore is to be translated
into planes, ships, guns and the infnitude

about your bottlenecks, it would be a

into their heads to put the 500 Canal
