Dear Sir:
Since you love the birds I am sure
that you will understand why the cake
that have, so far. enjoyed most in my
life was one that baked to give to 4
friend in Chevy Chase. but threw over
the fence to the birds.
1T was an applesauce cake, with raisins
in 1t. Had it reached my friend. I'm con-
fident she would have been pleased, per.
haps as much as the birds.
1T happened this way. When my cake
was ready for its Christmas wrapping, q
hne sleet made the city streets like glass.
was afraid to venture out to deliver my
gift. Let's throw 1t over the fence to the
vacant lot next door and see what the
birds will do,' said, and my sister
readily agreed
How the birds found the cake, I do
not know, but they came In numbers
They were cold and hungry and rude
1t was loaf cake and the birds began
eating at either end and ate until they
met in the middle.
Prom our Second-no window 1t
looked Is II they were digging 4 tunnel
through the cake.
They stood on top also and fought
like little demons. II bird couldn't get
bite he wouldn't let any other bird have
taste. We stood at our window and
watched and wondered, and my advice
is If you really wish to enjoy your Christ
mas cake. throw 1t over the fence to the
birds. You may not understand what
they say by way Of thanks, but they will
say a plenty.
Have enjoyed your column for years
Sincerely, s. F."
Maybe this is Z good way To get rid OF
Christmas fruit cakes.
Those cakes, you know, dark and mys-
terious, which are always being presented
by well-meaning friends.
Now fruit cakes must be Just $3.50.
But your $3.50 about fruit cake
may not be my $3.50.
And so on.
Every human being. evidently, has 4
different taste, when 1t comes to this sort
of cake.
Some IKE EN- old, very old; some pre-
fer 'em new. or comparatively so--one
will like the dark. and another the light;
one taste runs to nuts and another to
citron.
Still another makes . great face when
he runs across 4 piece Of it.
Might as well put soap in It," he
thinks to himself, trying to remove the
offending substance in polite manner.
Citron, however, is = substance which
was never meant to be handled accord
ing to the rules, written or other wise, Of
etiquette.
The only way to handle citron is to
get 1t down and hit is across the back OF
the neck. as If it we're one OF those little
yellow brothers We hear 50 much about.

Urges Feeding
OF wild Birds.

To the Editor Of The Star.
In these days when each effort counts,
every one can help in some way. Every
one can feed the birds. America needs
such crops as she never has produced
before, and there il no one thing of
greater assistance to the farmer than
or little feathered friends. Naturalists
tell us Of the almost unbelievable. num-
Der Of weed seeds and Of destructiye
insects that the birds destroy every sea
son. Therefore. it IS Of tho utmost i'm
, portance that these glad, unpaid helpers
Of the farmer should receive our all-out

Says Attorneys Have Opposed
Patent Once Removal.
Ts the Editor Of The Star:


Ts the Editor Of The Star:
In . letter published January 6, "A
Patent Examiner" criticizes the patent
attorneys for further opposing removal
Of the Patent once to Richmond and
suggests that they be made liable for the
contractual relations entered into by the
examiners. This apparently is case
where the attorneys will be blamed II
they do and blamed If they don't. Most
of the examiners seem to think Lat the
attorneys have let them down" because
they have not fought harder to prevent
the removal.
The Patent ONCE, it seems. Is the
only bureau whose of2cials are doing
everything in their power to make the
removal q fait accop'pli even before it
is determined whether removal is neceS-
sasy. If it. should turf out that tho
Patent once is the only bureau re-
moved, it will be .no ones fault but &he
Patent Once officials'. At the congress
sional hearings all the testimony showed
that removal OF the Patent Once would
retard the war effort. that it is unneces-
sary and that it would be a serious blow
to the patent system. Please ylve tSe
attorneys credit for opposing it.

and added I'VE declare our complete
sympathy with the national aspirations
of the Jewish people toward collective
security at the end of the present war.
Since start toward such security was
made in the establishment of ma
tional homeland in Palestine for the
Jewish people, we reatiirm our belief
that the United Nations owe to them
the continuance and maintenance of
this homeland as relief from their
dreadful and inhuman prosecutions, as
Il guarantee of their cultural unity and
continuity, as an instrument for their
legal and international standing in the
court of nations and as restitution
for their national dignity, honor and
creative energies

100000 Aliens
Urged For Forms
DR.. Imre Ferenczi Says
South And Central Amer
icun Labor Is Needed

Washington, (Science Service) -
Three million men should be recruited
in South or Central America and
brought to the United States to pro.
vide agricultural labor. DR.. Imre Fer.
encZi, population expert of New York
told a meeting of the Second Institute
on World Organization at American
University here.
We must overcome our prejudices
against immigration into this country
he said. or we may face disastrous
labor shortage.
Without plan for hemisphere
and, so far as possible, intercontinental
and inter-Allied recruitment, exchange
and eventual pooling of all human re-
sources, the United Nations may lose
the war;" DR.. Ferenczi declared.
a step was taken in that direction,
ne said, when Mexican laborers were
permitted to enter the United States to
work on the harvest this year. But the
scale of this migration was entirely
too small, he Indicated, and the migra-
tiOn was arranged only for seasonal
labor.
Whereas this migration affected
only few thousands, we need mil
lions." he said
The labor army visualiZed by DR..
Ferenczi is not to be slave army
like those producing goods for the
Axis. They would be paid the wages
prevailing in the United States. which
South American recruits would find
very attractive, he said. They would
be under military control only to in
sure proper health and working con-
ditiOnS and maximum of directed
effort. And they would understand that
this service would be contribution to-
ward the defense of their own home
lands through victory over the Axis.
An acute labor shortage is foreseen
by DR.. Ferenczi not only for the period
OF the war but afterward. He thinks
it Is a mistake to look forward to any
period of unemployment. Men of EN-
Dloyable age and fitness are being
killed by the thousands. 1t will be
increasingly hard to find manpower to
do the work that must be done to win
the war and to rebuild the world after
ward. And the war cant be terminated
when we have exhausted our labor
supply; it can be ended only by vic
tory. Race, national and other preju-
dices must be wiped out in the interest
of providing food, weapons and other
necessities of all the people.
"A mans usefulness to the nation
and his loyalty will be the only con-
sideration," DR.. Ferenczi said. mo one
will care about the color of his skin
or the places of his birth or peculiari-
ties of his manners"
DR.. FerencZi is the author of books
on migration and other population
problems prepared for the National
Bureau of Economic Research New
York City, and is cOnsultant for the
international Labor Office of the
League of Nations.

BY LUCIA MALLORY

Doris rushed into the kitchen - a
hungry child searching for her mother.
This is what she usually did when she
came from school Her mother had just
taken a fragrant loaf of cake from the
oven, had gently shaken it out of the
tin, and was lifting ii carefully on to a
platter to cool. Can YOU not imagine
healthfuly hungry?- for school is a
hunger-provoliing business.
"Oh! Mother!" Doris exclaimed.
How | wish l might have piece
right off the crusty end while it is so
nice and hot !"
Now everyone knows that one of the
unwritten articles in the creed of Il
good houSekeeper is that Il real loaf
of cake-Sheet cake and gingerbread
are diiterent-muSt remain unmOlested
! until it cools This mother knew all
about the creed but the mother in her
was stronger than the houSekeeper.
After a little struggle between the
two personalities, she said, "Well, get
Ill' lllt NlIdl " iNlll!t llDil Tie
This one is too dull for hot cake"
The child'S eyes widened with sur
prise at the unexpected granting of her
wish. but it was happy Doris whO
with the tOotthsOme piece held care
fully in her two hands, sat on the kit
chen doorstep and munched her cake
Except for the fetish that Il cake
should not be cut while it is hot, was
there any reason for not indulging the
child? 1t really did not hurt the cake :;
it was a proper time for a growing
child to have something to eat; the
simple cake was suitable food; al
though hot, it was not unwholesOme
because it was thin crusty end; and
above all the child had what she
wanted merely for the asking She
never forgot the incident and her heart
always warmed to that memory of her
mother whenever she saw fresh loaf
of cooling cake.
Once Il dietitian to whom told this
story asked, "Do you think the grown
up Doris might, as a result of this Incl
cake to her children occasionally" I
answered, There is not the least dan
ger. TO Doris that was an exception
that did not in spirit break the rule
that she we'll knew and understood"
That crusty slice off the end of the
loaf is worthy to stand as Il symbol of
the many little things that might be
allowed children and which are often
arbitrarily denied them for no ade
quate reason except that it is so much
easier to say No" The attitude is too
nearly general that what child wants
is apt TO be unreasonable. On the CON
trary, their requests often are per
fectly iuStiiiable and might be granted
except that they do not square with
preconceived adult ideas.
This is not at all a plea for whole
sale indulgence of every whim of ii
, child. 1t is plea to parents and to all
who deal with children to grant many
of their simple requests when there is
no good reason for refusing. Many un-
happy moments could be avoided hy
such indulgence when it would do the
children no harm and would make no
great difference to anyone else. 1t is
merely Il plea for The aboliShment of
he nnthinkng NO habit.
