for the British Imperialists.

say:
There shall be no East,

Super Detectives

The four special investiga tors ap-
pointed to the Detective Bureau by
direction of Congress will find that
their jobs are not in the sinecure
category. In the first place, it is
going to be difficult for any inVeSti-
gator, no matter how expert, to live
up to the title Of super detective"
which unfortunately has become at
tached to the new post. The term
implies extraordinary Sherlockian
qualities more likely to be found in
books than in real life. In fairness
to these new members of the Detec-
tive Bureau, the public should not
expect miracles of them, for none of
them claims to be a miracle man.
Undoubtedly, however, they are out
standing men in their calling, as
demonstrated by the fact that they
were picked, via civil service exami-
nation route, from among a large
field Of candidates.
Since all are from out of the city,
they will be handicapped at the out
set by an unfamiliarity with Wash
ington's unique law enforcement
system. The very fact of their ap-
pointment should give them an in
sight into one phase of this system
the control which Congress, acting
as the voteless Districts Legislature,
exercises over the police by reason

harnesses only the customers. While
overworked, I am convinced that the
carelessness, insolence and inefficiency of
many employees are all out of proportion
to the circumstances.
Certainly some customers are pains in
the neck to overworked clerks. But most
consumers know that retailers are
swamped and are not complaining about
a reasonable amount of inconvenience
and extra expense. But they don't like
to be treated like worms just because
some businessmen and clerks think they
can get away with such conduct.
I would like to close this letter with
few comments about gas rationing and
transportation in Washington. One
wonderful benefit of gas rationing has
been the disappearance of much auto
mobile traffic with all it's noise, fumes
and confusion. The transit company
now can move much more efficiently
despite the increased load because It's
path is not cluttered up with autos. In
dividual autos are the most inefficient
units of transportation in the downtown
area Streetcars and buses could handle
all the downtown area traffic II autos
and taxis were entirely excluded from
that area. 1t would be boon indeed, if
Washington never returned to that awful
congestion We all remember.

Visitors to Mount Vernon, the
beautiful home of the first President
of the United States, may see ex-
hibited there the key to the Bastille
1t hangs in the central hall of the
lovely mansion, a souvenir of the
Bourbon Kings of France. The Mar
quis de Lafayette gave it to George
Washington as a symbol of the revo-
lutlonary spirit of the French masses.
1t was token of their determination
to be free. So it remains today, 153
years after the fall of the hated
Castle of Saint Antoine.
That was the formal name of the
Bastille in 1889. Nearly five centuries
earlier, the foundation stones of the
fortress had been laid. Many differ
ent monarchs added to the original
plan until at last it was a monStrouS
tour-SQuare structure with eight
towers, the whole edifce surrounded
by a moat twenty-five feet wide.
State prisoners were not confined
within the walls until the reign of
Louis XIII. Under his immediate
successors the castle became notori-
Gus as the jail in which were de-
tanned persons arrested on lettres de
cachet and held, often for long
terms, without trial.
With the gradual development of
the republican movement in Paris
the gloomy old pile assumed the
aspect of a symptom of an intolerable
system of oppression. Dalberg Acton
in his Lectures on the French Revo-
luton" explains: Men talked wildly
of destroying the Bastille as sign
that would be understood 1t
not only overshadoWed the capital,
but it darkened the hearts of men.
The captives behind its bars
were few and uninteresting, but the
wide world knew the horror of it's
history, the blighted lives, the ruined
families, the 5000 dishonored graves
within the precincts, and the COM
mon voice called for its destruction
as sign of deliverance.
Specifically, the assault upon the
castle was intended to prove to Louis
XVI that the revolution was real and
that it was possessed of drastic force.
Crowds came running from every
quarter" says Victor Duruy in "a
Short Histroy of France" THE old
soldiers, Ellie and Hullin, directed the
people. The governor, De Lau-
nay, had only 200 soldiers. either
Swiss or unfit men, as a garrison,
But the fortress was so strong. espe-
clally against an attack of this kind,
that the assailants had to face a
murderous fight of several hours
before they took possession of it.
They entered at last, having lost
third of their number-171
killed and wounded"
The event has been celebrated
annually ever since. BY common
consent Bastille Day has been the
birthday" of modern France. In
1912 it has the significance of
particular reaffirmation of the prin-
ciples of freedom which are not
dead-Which cannot die-in the
French race, be It's plight at present
however tragic.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TraceDeH.

"On the back porch was a small utility
table, around which I tackled screen
wire, and placed him in 1t. I thought
he would be dead by the next morning.
He was very weak and spent, but put
water and a few crumbs in his cage and
left him.
The next morning he was still alive
and seemed little brighter being able
to fly up on the wire, trying to get out.
~ ~
Il kept him in the cage for three days,
and he was at the end of the third day
so anxious to escape that I turned him
out and he few away.
Il did not try to band him. for he was
too frail and weak, thought, to endure
any handicap.
Two weeks later one day I looked
out of the window, and there sat my
robin on the walk, much bedraggled
but as clipper as you please, holding
his head a little too high on account of
the wound. But he was fine and I fed
him some crumbs of bread and scraps
from the table, which he ate, staying not
far from me as though he were not
afraid.
Il have told you all this to end with
another incident which occurred this
spring.
"A robin came on the same walk and
as I looked out of the window he sat
there seemingly not afraid.
He did not look as large or as we'll
groomed as other robins, and held his
head a trif1e high as my patient had
done. He stayed awhile, and I threw
out some crumbs, just as I had done last
year
do you think he was the same robin?
Sincerely, M. E. c."
In all likelihood it was the same bird,
although robins are not as persistent in
coming back to the same place as other
species, notably the wrens.
This communication shows the pos
sibilities of amateur surgery on birds
Persons who find birds in trouble
ought to try to help them,
All they can do is their best, and often
that is quite enough.
Birds are tough.
Nature is their physician, in the last
analysis, just as she is of all living crea-
lures. Doctors of all types would be up
against it, indeed, if their patients had
to depend solely on their ministrations.
Nature stands behind the doctor and
does the curing. All he can do is help
her.
Many bird injuries, such as broken
wings, which at first look incurable, in
time begin to mend, although wing in
juries usually are very difficult to heal,
We feel sure that the man at the Zoo,
spoken of by our correspondent, did not
understood that he was being asked for
help, but probably thought some one was
offering the institution robin.
Birds which are befriended by house
holders often seem to understand and
to appreciate the aid which they receive.
Thereafter they are tanner than other
birds. This is often the experience.

Synthetic Rubber

The most reasSuring note yet
sounded in the Welter of charges and
countercharges concerning the syn
thetic rubber situation was con-
tanned in the Detroit speech this past
week by Chairman Nelson of the War
Production Board, who told repre-
sentatives of the automobile industry
that I'VE know exactly where we are
going Mr.. Nelson, who is not given
to fanciful oratoriCal flights, did not
attempt to minimize the task facing
the country in attempting to build up
a synthetic rubber program COM
mensurate with war needs, but he
pointed out that necessary manu-
featuring facilities are being pro-
vided, and expressed confidence that
they will produce. The public, con-
sequently, is justified in believing the
outlook is far from hopeless.
1t was coincidental that on the
same day Chairman Nelson's speech
was published, the New York Times,
relying on reports from informed
quarters" said that excellent prog
ress" was being made in the produc-
tion Of synthetic rubber, and forecast
tangible results by the middle of 1943.
According to the Times survey,
plants will be turning out about
100000 long tons Of rubber with
petroleum base, and approximately
100000 from grain alcohol next year.
Standard Oil expects also to be pro-
ducing enough butadiene to manu-
facture 100000 long tons of rubber.
This potential production figure Of
100000 long tons would compare
with normal consumption Of 100000
tons of natural rubber, and about
100000 tons Of reclaimed in the
United States, in peacetime. The
war, of course, is stepping up con-
sumption, but even so, it is not be
Ieved that the needs will exceed the
potential output
It is much too early for the cheer

ARLINGTON, Va.

Dear sir:
Last year in the early spring a mother
robin built her nest on the side of our
garage and in due course the baby birds
were Matched.
IT had watched over the nest almost as
closely as the mother bird to see that no,
cat harmed them.
THE babies were soon able to leave the
nest, and I did not bother to look after
them, as I could, of course, do nothing
about their care or feeding.
"One day I went into the back yard,
and there sat young robin fully feath-
cred, and apparently able to fend for
himself.
His mouth or beak was wide open,
and he seemed near choking or suffo-
eating. took him up gently and he did
not try to move, and I saw that some
thing should be done quickly or he would
die.
"At first I was at loss to know what to
do, but then I thought of water, poured
down his throat, as perhaps the best
thing could do.
so poured small spoonful of water
down his throat, and placed him on the
window sill inside the screen, but outside
the window so he could not escape
Then I thought of the birdhouse at
the Zoo, as the place I should call. I went
to the phone, and when the man an
swered and I told him the story, he said
If it were rare bird they would be in
terested, but as it was only robin, they
were not.
when went back to my patient, his
beak was closed, and he seemed to
breathe more freely.
"All about him lay wild cherries. He
had tried to eat too many and could not
swallow them all, and that was what had
choked him.
But, in my hurry had overlooked the
thing which was a near tragedy.
His throat was cut deeply, cash from
ear to ear so that his windpipe was
exposed
I'm his frantic effort of trying to free
his throat he had cut his own throat with
his long sharp talons.
What was to do?
THE thought came to me that had
sewed up many rents in little pants and
shirts, darned many holes in little stock
ings, and now l was confronted with
rent which meant life.
4
Taking some disinfectant, a needle
and thread, prepared for the operation.
Il took the sufferer in my hand, laid
him in my palm, feet up, wings folded,
and studied the best method to pursue.
He was lying in my left hand, and
was as still as though he had been given
an anesthetic, did not move or f1utter,
but was as patient and as quiet as though
he were Thoroughly familiar with the
operating table
Then I proceeded to sew up the cash,
as l would any rent in garment.
