Harper's Come Back"

In 1895 William Harper was

Cured the wrath of the "Old
Gang" for stepping on their
toes to get the desired results.
In 1893 they "ganged up" and
defeated him by a narrow mar

washed up. However, in 1889,
he again became a candidate and
was reelected "by the people"
with a two to one majority in q
record vote. Convincing proof
that he knows the peoples prob

on the heels Of hurried visit to
Italy by Heinrich Himmler, head of
the German Gestapo, to check up
personally on Italian morale and
draft a report to Hitler before the
latter's projected meeting with Mus
solini at their customary rendezvous,
the summit of the Brenner Pass.
There, the Fuehrer will doubtless
make more demands upon his Axis
partner, who is in no position to re-
sist. But fresh German pressure on
overtaxed Italy undoubtedly will
further intensity italian resentment
and discomfort.
1t is probably too much to expect
an immediate italian collapse or
withdrawal from the war. The Fas-
cist oligarchy, which knows what to
expect from its own people in case of
defeat, is strongly entrenched and
is vigorously supported by the Ger
mans. Nevertheless, Italy obviously
Is the weak link in the Axis chain,
Circumstances can be visualized un-
der which that link might easily snap
IN consequence Of a well-directed
blow from outside.

Br-r-r /! I! !!

Due to Uncle Sans efforts to put
the heat on the Axis in a big way,
many of his nephews and nieces will
be bit cold this winter from the
enforced fuel shortage. Various
remedies have been offered. One is
to wear long woolen underwear-a
suggestion which leaves the nieces
as cold as the underwear would leave
them warm. Still more drastic is
the suggestion to take brisk ice-cold
baths each morning, so invigorating
that for the rest of the day the
bather fairly glows with warmth.
This idea leaves almost everybody
cold.
In theory, when the practitioner of
the scheme thinks he is a little
chilly in the evening, he recalls how
he felt in the tub that morning and
becomes reconciled. In practice it
is likely that he shivers even more
than usual, brooding over his ordeal
tomorrow morning. The theory of
how to keep warm without heat Is
based on the rather illusory principle
Of contrast. In precisely the same
way, the sufferer from severe head
ache can get relief: All he needs to do
is to keep hitting his head with q
hammer for = while, because it feels
80 good when he stops.

The Man for the Job

When the craftsmanship Of the
Senate District Committee became
available, Senator Pat McCarran laid
down one condition for his accept
ance. That was creation of the po-
Sition of special counsel to the Sen
ate District Committee, to be filled
by some one familiar with Washing
ton and equipped to relieve the
chairman of details in connection
with investigation and report on
local legislation.
Renah F. Camalier has filled this
position so satisfactorily that the
post undoubtedly will remain a part
of the Senate's legislative machinery
on District matters. But it is a mat
ter of general regret that Mr. Cana
lier himself is resigning. He brought
to the position sound acquaintance
with District affairs, real willing
ness to work and personality which
facilitated his dealings with commu-
nifty representatives, as well as the
OClldtOlS 81
The need for such a position as Mr..
Camalier has filled is not confined
merely to the Senate District Com
mittee, for other committees in Con-
gress have found it helpful to rely
on special counsel or highly skilled
clerks to perform functions COM
parable with those discharged by Mr..
Camalier in reference to local legis-
lation. Confidence of the chairman
and his colleagues in the man, and
the individuals ability to retain that
confidence, are more important than
the mere existence of the position he
fills. A successor to Mr.. Camalier
might become, within a few years,
merely another good committee
clerk. And this makes it all the more
important that Mr.. Camalier,s sue
cessor be as able and as anxious to
serve the Senators and the commu-
nifty as Mr.. Camalier has been.

Weakening Italy

Despite rigorous censorship, an in
creasing volume of evidence is ac-
cumulating that internal conditions
in Italy, both material and psyche
logical, are going from bad to worse.
Every neutral listening post in Europe
tells the same story, information re-
layed from nearby Switzerland being
the most precise.
All this is merely the intensifcation
of long standing trend. The Ital-
ian people have never had their
hearts in this war. During the early
phase, they were as a whole, we'll
satisfied with their profitable neu-
trality. 1t is true that when Musso-
lini launched his country into the
fray at the moment of Frances COL
lapse in June, 1910, there was
wave Of popular enthusiasm. But
this was because Germany looked
like sure winner and the Duce ex-
pected to reap a cheap harvest of
victory. The series of disasters which
soon followed in North Africa, Greece,
Ethiopia and the Mediterranean,
coupled with tightening economic
stringency within Italy itself, quickly
disillusioned the mass of the people.
Detailed first hand accounts of
American diplomats, journalists and
longtime residents repatriated to
this country last spring left no doubt
that most Italians were war-weary,
sharply critical of the Fascist re-
gime and deeply resentful at the iron
grip which its Axis ally, Germany,
had fastened upon their unhappy
land.
A number of factors have combined
recently to intensity further the pre-
vailing popular discomfort. Heavy
losses of Italian troops fighting in
Russia for cause which is not their
immediate concern, combined with
the steady drain in North Africa and
the rebellious Balkans, constitute q
blood-tax that Italians bitterly con-
denim. The approach of what, for
Italy, is the third war winter finds
the country acutely short of food,
due in considerable measure to Ger
man demands for Italian products,
while reciprocal coal deliveries have
fallen behind owing to transportation
dificulties. Unrest is rife in both the
towns and the countryside, and Lon
don reports on good authority q
serious peasant riot in the south
when the authorities tried to seize
boarded grain.

ians from the category Of enemy

We feel sure that this pet catbird Is
well on his way South, and this is the
reason:
On the exact date mentioned, septem-
ber "a, scores Of catbirds came into our
yard.
They sat III the shrubbery, particularly
the ilacs along the east fence, and made
their peculiar mewing cries.
1t was an unusual sight, 50 many black
heads peering out between the leaves.
Raisins sprinkled in the grass were
what attracted them, in addition to
filled bath in the corner of the yard.
After the rest had gone, one catbird
remained.
He was unusually friendly, without
doubt the most friendly catbird we have
ever encountered.
At no time were we close enough to
him to see whether he was crippled In
one leg.
He remained for several days, enjoy
Ing raisins and his baths.
A crippled leg is not necessarily a
severe handicap to wild bird.
One winter we had crippled dove
which at all times was able to hold his
own with the others.
Several times in recent years this
column has carried accounts of crippled
blue jays and other birds, some of them
being able to perch only by leaning
heavily to one side.
Natures compensation for all such de-
fects enable the specimen to get along
somehow

said that all-white penguins are pecked
to death or let starve by their own
parents.
Catbirds are among the most beautiful
and interesting of all the migrating
birds.
They are sleek princes of the American
bird world, whose dress is at once noble
and fine, yet must be looked at closely
before the beholder realizes Just how
really fine it is. This we believe, is one
OF the criterions of good dress.
| The catbird is friendly, odd creature
Its cry, alone, would set it off from all

The best way to attract catbirds In
season is to sprinkle raisins on the drive

As q Typewriter Stroteqist

According to his own formal out
line OF his mission abroad, Mr..
Willkie was not charged by the
President with the task of exploring
the possibilities and the Possibilities
Of opening a second front. That was
something he picked up on his own
hook. In approving, through Mr..
Early, Mr.. WILKES fulfllment of his
mission, the President does not COM
nit himself to Mr.. WILKES views on
the second front. The President pre-
viously has indicated that such views,
except when expressed by RESPONSE
BILE military men, belong within the
realm Of the typewriter strategists.
But it is not necessarily true that
the President and Mr. Willkie are as
far apart as the poles on what has
come to be loosely described as the
second front issue. In his radio ad-
dress last Monday evening the Presi-
dent spoke OF united opinion among
the military men as to the desira-
bility of offensive action which would
relieve the pressure on China and
Russia. But, he said, the plan of
action in that respect was not ready
for announcement over the radio.
The difference between Mr.. Willkie,
as typewriter strategist, and the
President, as the responsible Com
mander in Chief, is that Mr.. Willkie
Is marshaling words for an onslaught
on public opinion while the President
must marshal armies and navies for
an onslaught on our superbly trained
and equipped enemies. In the one
case, defeat for Mr.. Willkie would
reflect merely lack OF judgment in
civilian observer while defeat for the
President, as Commander in Chief,
might spell military and national
catastrophe.
AS a typewriter strategist, how
ever, there is role that Mr.. Willkie
can play with benefit to his country
men. For despite the ridicule which
the term connotes, the typewriter
strategist has legitimate function
to perform and his record in past
wars compares very well, by and
large, with the record of the mill
! tary strategists. AS an intelligent
observer whose tour of the battle
fronts gave him an extraordinary
opportunity under unusual circum-
stances to see the way the war is
being fought and what lies this side
of victory, Mr.. Willkie should express
himself in all candor and frankness
so that as many people as hear him
can see the picture through his eyes.
But as a useful typewriter strate-
gist he will be careful not to distort
the picture by the sort of emotional
ism which tints the second front
business in the rosy colors of a cru
SADIE to help somebody else. The
objective of a second front is to help
ourselves and we will not help our
selves or our Allies by an attempt that
fails. AS there is unity on the prin-
ciple of second front, Mr.. Willkie
will not permit his typewriter STRAIT
egy to cause disunity by attempting
to discredit the judgment of the
President and our military leaders as
to how, when and where a second
front is advisable.

EMERSON STREET.

Lear Sr:
II have enjoyed reading your articles
about our feathered friends, especially
the ones about the pet robin, Lilly Belle.
Her experiences were similar to those Of
our baby catbird. found on the lawn on
the night of July 4. This baby bird,
covered mostly with a gray down, had
been injured by q cat, and we did not
think that 1t would live through the
night. The left leg appeared to be broken
and the heavier part Of the body bruised.
It is presumed that the cat may have
completed his supper with the other
members Of the catbird family.
After several days Of care the little
fellow showed great improvement and
had quite an appetite.
"Tlae next week we went to the coun-
try for two weeks vacation and we took
him along resting as comfortably as pos
sible in a small pasteboard box. On the
way we stopped along the roadside sew
eral times to give him food and water.
During the two weeks of care he learned
to pick hard boiled egg and dried bread
crumbs soaked in milk from a spoon.
X X
II taught him to fly to my hands by
clapping my hands together and to bathe
by ripping the water in a crystal dish.
After our vacation he was then too
active to remain in the pasteboard box
so We borrowed a cage and during the
day while was at the Office, my friend
next door fed him and took him in the
yard to fly about in the sunshine as he
had done while in the country.
I'VE next trained him to fly from the
cage on the window sill down to me on
the ground about ten feet below the
window. After we were sure that he
could take care of himself, we let him
out about am. each day. He was free
all day to come and 60 as he wished.
I'VE placed his cage, with food and
water inside, and his dish of bath water,
on the window sill. For several weeks
he returned to the cage in the evening,
took bath in fresh cool water and had
a good supper, usually worm found in
our sweet corn.
"Since he could not hold onto the
perch with his injured foot, at night I
placed turkish towel across two of the
highest perches in the cage and he was
always happy to hop up there about 7
o'clock. No matter what time in the
night talked to him, he took his head
from under his wing and answered me.
HE was so tame that we could pick
him up by holding an open palm and he
would stay with us as long as we had
time to hold him. He liked to look for
hidden raisins between our fingers, to
pick our buttons and jewelry. and to
pull our hair.
"On September "a, between 10 and 3
o'clock, Baby Bird disappeared. Part OF
his food was left and his bath had not
been disturbed.
"One of three things must have hap
pened. He may have met some birds of
his own kind and started South with
them; he may have called at the window
of person who saw that he was friendly
