SEEKS HIDING PLACE
Somewhere in that room there
had been an ingenious hiding
place from which Charles had re-
trieved the parcel, which later he
put into his baggage or that OF
the old professor. Could ] find that
hiding place?
Almost mechanically l stopped
picked UP the rug by an edge

floor beneath.
Then I caught my breath. The
hardwood floor was laid out in
squares. and one of these seemed
freer from dust than the others
The room reflected mans care
less housekeeping, although il was
not really dirty.
The square had no opening that
I could see, but l stopped and
pressed my fingers all over its
surface, and just as / was about
TO give UP ii tipped up.
/ found myself gazing down into
a cedar-lined cavity larger than
the lid. big enough to hold several
parcels not too large to be put in
and taken out Of the opening.
/ was thankful indeed that
had brought my handbag into the
room. With fingers that / vainly
tried TO keep steady / took from
IL my tiny pencil flashlight and
directed its rays into the cavity,
seeing 10 IL that no smallest cor
ner escaped my light.

which had been calling me-some-
thing which / had not seen for
many years, but which brought
back TO me so wildly a precious
past long dead that / felt my

which / dared not give vent.
Ii was curiously carved cube
Of ivory which cleaned whitley

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TraceUeH.

Animal sounds are among their most
interesting features. II
We speak of them as dumb animals"
but they are far from dumb.
Sound is q part Of life.
Among created things, fish alone are
soundless-and some Of them make slight
noises, at times. Some grunt and others
make popping noises.
Most of the creatures with which man
is intimately acquainted not only makes
noises, but these sounds are cast In a
language of their own.
Few owners of pets but will be willing
to swear that their friends know great
deal, and use their sounds in genuine
effort to convey their feelings and ideas,
such as they are.
Compared with mans ideas, animal
ideas are rudimentary. no doubt, but
very real, nevertheless
Variation is possible, within certain
limits. and these variations and inflec-
tions have meanings all their own, as in
any language.
Hence in listening to the creatures,
their human friends should use sympathy
and as much understanding as they can
muster.
They will need 1t all at times to over
come the sheer intensity and persis-
tence of such things as the spring
pepper" the little tree toad with voice
which can be heard for a mile.
Crickets at night and roosters in the
morning-if we hear these without SYM
pathy, they may annoy, but scarcely any
other way. Hence some prior interest is
necessary The person without 1t is
likely to treat the wonders Of nature"
as If they were merely annoyances. They
still remain the wonders of nature.
4
Reform Of the human world might
even be conceived as coming through a
greater realization on the part Of the
nations of the proper place which
animals ought to play in the economy Of
the globe.
We are so used to thinking that the
animals are merely for our own use, to
be slaughtered to clothe and feed us,
that perhaps 1t is too revolutionary an
idea at the present time to speak of an
Atlantic Charter" for the animals.
But the, time will come, we feel sure,
when freedom for all the animals and
birds and fishes will be accepted
How many endless centuries of wars
and slaughter the world will have to
endure before this comes about we do
not know
The only sure thing is that the present
system cannot endure. 1t is killing itself.
1t may be that the dumb animals"
will yet speak with the tongues Of
angels and tell us that, despite our mad
pride of intellect, we do not seem to
have as much sense as they do at times.
Who knows but that In some far
distant dawn the Growing of lone
rooster may herald the beginning OF a
real new world fit for all breathing
things to live upon in peace?

Gain and Loss

Representative Jennings Randolph
reelection after tight race in West
Virginia's second district is gratifying
to his friends in Washington. It will
be doubly so if he chooses, as he is
reported to have done, to remain as
chairman of the House District Com
mittee. For he has been a good
friend of the District, has sought to
expedite the disposal of local legisla-
ton and been capable in handling
matters on the floor. He has come
to know Washington and its people
and his knowledge and experience
are assets which increase in value
with his length of service.
It was q disappointment, on the
other hand, that Representative
John F. Hunter Of Ohio found his
own fears and those Of his friends
materialize in his defeat. He had
been frank In acknowledging that he
was in for a hard fight, with the odds
against him. Mr.. Hunter had shown
q, real and intelligent interest In
washington problems and more than
once demonstrated his anxiety to be
of service. Like many others who

The Political Outlook

With only few contests remaining
In doubt, it is clear that Tuesdays
elections, while revealing q strong
Republican trend, will not deprive
the Democrats of numerical control
of Congress. Z
In the Senate where the majority
party's control was not threatened,
J, the Republicans appear to have
gained nine seats. This is an inn
portant advance for the COP, but it
leaves the Democrats with an 11-seat
margin. The contest for the House
seats, however, was very close, latest
returns indicating that 2l8 places
have gone to the Democrats, 208 to
the Republicans, and four to other
parties, with five remaining in doubt.
Thus, while the Republicans have
gained 43 seats and may get few
more from the doubtful contests, they
have fallen short of the minimum
gain of SO seats necessary to take
over control of the House.
It is interesting, though not neces-
sarily significant, to compare this
strong Republican showing with the
changes in the House during other
off-year elections. In three of the
seven midterm contests since the
House attained It's present size the
majority party has lost more than So
seats-59 In 1914, rs in 1922, and IL
in 1898. In 1884 the Democrats in
creased their already swollen major
ity by nine seats-the only off-year
gain recorded-and in 1880 the Res
publican majority was reduced by ~
seats. In the only other wartime
election during this period-that Of

Repeats Arguments
For Psychological Front.

~ tHe EultOr OF Inc star:
Before we can knock Germany out
OF the war, we must knock the hearts of
the Germans out Of the war.
Let us seek with greater vigor to
win the German people as our allies
against Naziism. Let us drive home to
every German heart the truth which
shall free them from this bloodshed-
the truth that we are fighting for that
desire for freedom which lies in the
hearts of all mankind.
Since Germans are at least as vulner-
able to ideas as to bullets, we should
not fail to fight with utmost yieor
along the immensely important psyche
logical front. Ideas-psychologica am
munition-might win this war more
quickly than anything else on earth.
We must steal away from the German
people their present fear of peace: Pres
ldent Roosevelt did well to promise there
would be no mass reprisals. At the same
time, we must warn that those who
started and those who prolong this war
have only punishment ahead. Mr. Roose-
welt did well again, in warning that the
war-guilty will meet punishment to
match their crimes. Our promise
warnings" need thundrous emphasis!

19l8Lthe Democrats, who were In
command Of the House, lost 10 seats.
While comparisons OF this sort
should be approached with caution,
they serve to confirm the rather
obvious fact that the swing to the
COP will in no way weaken the
administration in its conduct of the
war. On the contrary, If appropriate
recognition is given to the public
demand for a firmer war policy that
is implicit in this strengthening Of
the Presidents political opponents
all OF whom have pledged full support
OF the war program-the net result
should be distinctly beneficial.
On the domestic front, however,
the election seems to constitute a
notable setback for the New Deal.
Control of Congress is firmly in the
grip of the Republicans and the con-
servative Democrats. Judging from
past performance, this means that
the time when the New Dealers could
have what they wanted in Congress
for the asking has passed.

Dear Sir:
Il hope some day you will write an
article on why some people object to
roosters GROWING
II do not for the life OF me see how
any one can object to such fresh coun-
try sound.
II dare say there are few ROSTERS
Growing in Europe, because there must
not be any left. We ought to enjoy ours
while we can.
"Yours respectfully, M. B. J.'
We do not believe that any one really
objects to the Growing of roosters.
1t is just the time they select!
Probably If objectors would come to
think of hens and roosters as songbirds,
they might overcome any dislike owing
to the hour.
Certainly the calls Of few creatures
are any more interesting than the cluck
OF hens and the Growing Of their mates.
These sounds are famous the world
around.
Operas and dramas have included
them, to say nothing of thousands of
books.
Bantams are perhaps the best for
suburban areas. ....
Do not think, however, that they will
not make plenty of noise.
Size for size, nice bantam can out
scream any Of them.
"Silkies" are another good breed for
the suburbs. These are most delightful
fowl, more for show than eating.
Keeping Of chickens will come into its
own, now, in suburban places, except
where prohibited by ordinance.
With beef going into tailspin, chicken
is becoming more popular every day, If
that is possible. The fact is, almost every
one likes chicken, but in the past we have
been used to thinking Of 1t as Sunday
dinner" rather than ordinary everyday
fare.
Chickens have a great deal more
sense than popular opinion gives them
credit for. Such slurs as mot enough
sense to come in out of the rain,' and
mot enough brains to cross road"
have given them bad reputation. When
this is coupled with their odd heads and
faces" II they can be- said to have
faces at all, we have a situation where
the faithful hen is regarded as the real
"lowbrow" of the country world.

Yet many person has discovered that

casionally an old hen Is regarded too

TunqIed Tale

The following tangled tale, If sub
mitted to the editor of a fiction
magazine, would be rejected as too
involved and too improbable. AS a
melange of ambition, politics and
love it is hard to beat-and it actual
ly happened to Mrs. Smith of
Georgia. In the first place, her am
bition-to stay in Jail as long as
possible-requires explanation. That
part is easy; she was comfortably
fixed there as the wife of Mr.. Smith,
the sheriff. The first jolt came when
he died, but politics saved her; she
was appointed to fill the vacancy.
Politics were not so kind later,
however. In a three-cornered elec-
ton, in which she opposed Mr..
Pearce and another Mr.. Smith,
Pearce won, and moved her out of
Jail. All seemed hopeless, but Mrs.
Smith waited patiently for a break.
It was not long in coming. Mr..
Pearce resigned, and another elec-
ton was held. This time, more craft
lily, Mrs. Smith stayed out of the run
ming, until the returns were in, and
her former opponent, the other Mr..
Smith, got the job. The stage was now
set; her opportunity to get back to
jail, still as Mrs. Smith, was at hand.
Quietly and efficiently she realized
her ambition by marrying the new
sheriff.
The notices exemplified are as di-
verse as the incidents. This tale
teaches us that destiny is inescap-
able; if at first you don't succeed, try,
try again; love will find a way, and
all's we'll that ends well.

Complains About
Transit Employees.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The October ~ issue of The Star
carried letter from Mrs Glenn Cross
of Arcola, ILL.,, commencing the courtesy
Of Capital Transit Co. employees. May
we ordinary citizens of Washington re-
spectfully inquire as to just how she
elected such courtesy? True, many Of
the men are most obliging, and when
one Is especially so, I sometimes COM
mend him. But could cite dozens of
instances to the contrary.
Just the other morning I inquired Of
the dispatcher In front of Union Station
as to the route of the Glover Park bus,
asking whether 1t passed through X
street. He answered that it went down
e street. I told him that I knew that,
but after it left the downtown section,
again that 1t went down street! Being
familiar with all of the car lines and
many of the bus routes, knew what to
do if this bus eventually didn't traverse
K street, so got on, and the driver, No.
1892, was most courteous.
Three times recently have reached
our Anacostia bus stop with two to three
minutes to spare before the bus was due,
but either it was more than three min
utes early-I am In sight of the stop
during the last two blocks walk and
none passed-or a bus was skipped. In
one instance I missed an Alexandria
bound bus as consequence and had to
wait half an hour. On one occasion
three OF us ran for the bus (Which was
early) and had only three passengers. It
picked up another as we ran, and the
driver looked at u.s. turned his head, and
moved on, though we were within Is feet
OF the door. I even called to him while
the door was still open, but to no avail.
Buses often move on with people actually
near enough to touch the door.
just recently have seen a conductor
refuse to open the door TO waiting pas
sengers because they were about two
feet from the door when the car stopped;
he said they should be in front of the
door. but how can one Judge exactly
Just where the door will be? They
Knocked on the door but he went on,
and the. car was very far from being
crowded-only three or four standing.
Many times / have heard intending
passengers ask the conductor of q No. 80
car: Does this car go to Union Station?"
Or: Does this car 60 down g street,"
They received short negative answer
with no further explanation: 1t would
have been 80 easy for the car operator
to have instructed the inquirer to take
No. 20 or q No. 20, as the case required.
Many Of the new men honestly do not
know the city well enough to advise
their passengers.
May Ne have more men Ike those Mrs
Gross encountered.
