ject, obviously, was that Of the roam
ing Of mammals over the mountains,
through the valleys, across the plains
from one coastal area to another.
Congress recognized his capacity and
skill by creating a special section of
the Bureau of Entomology for him
to direct. During the quarter CEN
tury between 1885 and 1910 he guided
the destiny of what now is known as
the Fish and Wild Life Service. Per-
haps the most richly valuable phase
Of his endeavor was that which took
the form of inspiring and stimulat-
ing the efforts of other men. He
was, in truth, the founder of a
school" of naturalists which persists
as living force in the world.
The well-earned reward which
came to DR.. Merriam when Mrs. E.
H. Hartman set up a fund in the
care Of the Smithsonian Institution
for the endowment of his independ-
ent researches made possible his "re-
tirement" at flfty-five. Throughout
the next three decades he justified
the benefaction to the fullest extent,
so much so, indeed, that the whole
gamut of American scientific culture
was benefited by the gift.
DR.. Merriam leaves his fame Sc
cure. He will be remembered as long
as humanity still cares for organized
common sense.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Tr1ceUeH.

by reflection. Every one knows Of the
liking of robins, for instance, for fight
ing their own images in window panes.
So far this season there have been no
reports of this.
Care must be taken, if feeding sta
ton Is placed in shrubbery, that too
many leaves are not sticking up
around 1t.
We believe that this tends to make the
birds feel afraid, at first.
Putting a feeder amid shrubs or
evergreens is good thing to keep
pigeons away, since these large birds do
not like to come to such places. They
usually feed from the ground and do
not have room enough for their wings
in such places.
If station is put too close to a
house, it is very likely to have shrubs
near
Care should be taken not to cut OF too
much surrounding shrubbery at the
height of the platform on which the
birds stand.
In time they will not mind in the least,
and such branches offer them prelimi-
nary perches, feature they like
So we get around to the real gist of
the matter, that the birds will return,
no matter how long they stay away, or
what the reason for their refusal to
come at first.
1t will be only matter of few days,
In any event, before they come back.
Then they will find the surrounding
branches much to their liking
Practically all the birds like to make
a step-by- step approach to any objec-
tive. Even the bold blue jays, afraid
of nothing, prefer to alight on branch,
before they hop onto the seed ledge.
Often cardinals make as many as
dozen false approaches before they fly in.
The male is the more cautious of the
two.
He will fly onto branch, then down
to a lower one, then up to higher one,
then maybe to the top of the feeder, then
back to branch.
Just about the time the observer thinks
that he is not going to make it at all,
suddenly he plops down into the seed
bed
The female may make few prelimi-
nary moves, but shortly she flies bodily
into the feeder, and takes herself SUM-
flower seed.
Which reminds us that correspondent
recently stated that cardinals in his
yard would not eat sunflower seed.
The only answer can be that the SUM-
flower seed used was pretty bad.
There has been much inferior SUM-
flower seed on the market during the
past few months. The war seems to be
running everything, and sunflower seed,
evidently, is not escaping the general
destruction. Some of the seed is too
small, and some of it so dried out that
there seems to be no meat in it at all
Sun1ower seed is the great favorite of
the redbirdS Most of the other seed
eaters like it, Squirrels prefer it even
to nuts. Large plump seed only should
be accepted.

NupoIeon's Martyr

In the long chronicle of human
experience, certain relatively obscure
events, it seems, may serve to SYM
bolize proceedings infinitely mean
ingful and important. The case of
the unfortunate Due d'Enghien is an
example. He was the last of the
great Conde family, famous for gen.
erations in the public affairs of
France. Born at Chantilly, August
2, 1772, he received a military educa-
ton which qualified him for COM
mand in the unsuccessful Brunswick
invasion of his native country in
1892. When the enterprise failed, he
settled with other emigres at Etten-
helm in Baden. The entire group
belonged to the Opposition" but it
had no particular influence and
might have been ignored had it not,
early in 1904, accidentally attracted
the attention of Napoleon Bonaparte,
then First Consul.
News reached the Corsican, through
spies, to the effect that d'Enghien

Protests Change
In Woge-Hour Law
Employer Expresses Belief
Thot Proposed Legislation
Would Hurt War Effort

To the Editor of The Star:
In Congress at the present time there
are bills which are attempting to revise
the present regulations as to overtime
pay, and as defense contractor, pro-
cessing parts under prime contracts, we
wish to express our viewpoint and take
a stand upon the subject in question.
While it is very debatable as to the ad-
vantages Of the law as it was originally
passed in view of the present emergency,
we believe that a revision at this time
would have a serious effect on manage
ments success in keeping their personnel
at top stride.
To show how his reduction in pay
comes about, let us take the pay of
skilled machinist receiving 81 per hour
and working 48 hours per week. Under
the present wage hour law, he would
receive $50 per week, which includes
time and half for eight hours. II the
proposed bills were passed, his pay would
be $48, or loss of 81 per week.
Increased production is the present de-
mand, and the forcing of a man to work
longer hours for the same pay never yet
spurred fellow on to great deeds. We
therefore believe that it is now too late
effectively to bring an increase in pro-
duction by sapping the very life blood
of our production lines.
Since we believe that this is an in
siuious method to reduce the cost of
victory, we believe that we are jeopardiz-
ing victory, and therefore will refuse to
take any advantage of this revision in
the present wage and hour law.
We take this stand because we believe
that our trained men are vital to the
successful completion of our victory
program.
We believe, for the successful continu-
alton of the war effort, drastic change
in the wage hour law would have
decided decrease in the actual production
Of the companies engaged because of this
sudden treatment of key employees.

Leader in Science

In the history of modern learning
there have been few careers so
notably useful as that of Clinton
Hart Merriam. Dying at 86, he had
accomplished more than any average
half dozen of those of his contem-
poraries who were granted equal
length Of days.
The quantity of DR.. Merriam'S
achievement may be explained, but
for the quality of what he did it is
necessary to consider another aspect
of his personality-his meticulous
perfectionism. Nothing but the ulti-
mate best was acceptable to him.
He sought exactitude in everything.
His manuscripts were rewritten
again and again. The toll involved
in each of his more than five hun
dred publications thus was many
times multiplied. Physician, botan-
list, zoologist, ethnologist, geographer,
museum and library executive. or
ganizer and leader of numerous
scientific societies, the scope of his
enthusiasms was universal. Yet he
could concentrate his attention on
microscopic detail.
DIR. Merriam's principal monument,
OF course, is the Biological Survey,
which developed from his interest in
the distribution of living things
throughout the United States. The
migration of birds was a mystery
which he was determined to solve.
Related to it were the problems of

@. Where is the highest telephone
line in the United States?-A. r. C.
A. According to reports of the Ameri-
can Telephone e. Telegraph Co.. the
highest regular telephone toll line is the
new line built in 1941 over Loveland
Pass in Colorado. Loveland Pass, with
an elevation of $4,000 feet, is somewhat
lower than Argentine Pass, where the
highest line, now dismantled, formerly
crossed the Rockies. The highest line in
the world crosses the Andes in South
America.
@. What is the origin of hot cross
buns?-L. N. A.
A. For centuries hot cross buns have
been the high light of breakfasts on Good
Friday morning. The origin of the GUS
tom is traced all the way back to pagan
times, when similar cakes were offered
to Apollo, Diana, Hecate and the moon.
The buns can be traced through the Jew
ish passover cakes and on through the
eucharistic bread, or croSs-marked waf.
ers mentioned in ST. Chrysostom's Lit
urgy. The dough for the buns was made
of the same dough kneaded for the Host,
or the bread or wafer used in the sacra-
ment of holy communion. The buns
were marked with cross indicating the
passion of Jesus Christ and were said to
keep IL months without turning mouldy.

into France in company with indi-
viduals believed to be plotting against
the government. Napoleon gave
orders for his arrest. The fact that
he was in residence east of the Rhine
did not deter the dictator for even
the briefeSt moment. Acting on his
instructions, French mounted gen.
darmes crossed the, river at night,
seized their prisoner and hurried him
first to Strasbourg and then to the
castle Of Vincennes near Paris.
Perhaps it would have been easier
to have "purged" the young aristo-
crat without the formality of trial,
but Bonaparte decided instead to
have him judged by a commission of
colonies selected for the purpose.
The duke was charged with having
borne arms against France in the
late war and with intending to take
part in the new coalition then pro-
posed against France" What defense
the accused could offer in the cir
cumstances may be wondered. It
was useless to plead against an in
dictment based upon a theory of
intent. The court" promptly and
most informally" agreed upon an
act of condemnation. Meanwhile, a
grave was dug.
Napoleon, kept informed of the
progress Of his vengeance, was
adamant against every appeal for
mercy. Even when his own wife
begged him to spare his victim he
refused. In the moat at Vincennes,
just 1873 years ago, the Due d'En-
ghien faced firing squad. He had
been inconSequential in his lifetime,
but he became mighty power when
he was dead The tribunal at Riom

"TENNYSON STREET.

Dear Sir:
II have q small problem In bird feed
ing. I have had feeding station all
winter by my garage. but recently I
moved 1t close to a back window of my
house, where we could see the birds
better.
Unfortunately, the birds won't come.
This Is strange, because We had
scores of them all winter.
II hope you can give me some advice
on what I may have done wrong, or
what to do to make the birds come as
usual.
THE station is of dark wood and is
on a wooden stake, about feet from
the window. Since erecting it here, no
bird has come except pair of cardinals.
1.-TWO cardinals are q great deal, I
will have to admit, but miss the happy
hustle and excitement of the many We
used to have.
Feeding just one pair Of cardinals
is cheaper-I have filled the station
only once in four days. So far none OF
the squirrels have come, either.
II would appreciate it very much II
YOU could let me know what is wrong
here.
Every truly E. c. ""
1t must not be forgotten that in
spring, or toward the approach OF spring,
the birds tend to 60 back to natures
own foods.
When the first of the milder days ar
rives whether in March or April, the
songsters are glad to fly away to the
woods for few days.
This they often do, much to the
chagrin of kindly persons who have been
feeding them all winter.
Sometimes a hawk in the neighbor-
hood will drive them away for a time.
If this happens to coincide with the
removal of a feeding station to a new
site, it means that the person who has
made the change will have no other
idea, usually, than that he is completely
responsible.
We have found that birds are suspi-
cious of a wall of q dwelling.
Often they tend to shy away from a
station placed too close, say within 2
or 3 feet, of a blank wall, whether OF
brick or wood. whereas they may not
mind in the least being that near to
q window.
Just why this is we do not know.
Sometimes they will put up with
wall in one location, but will not do so
of one in another.
Perhaps window glass, although they
do not usually seem to pay any attention
to it. strikes them as more natural than
a wall.
1t may be that birds feel that more
surprise may come out of wall than
out of a window A door, to them, un-
doubtedly is no more than a wall. They
have had doors open suddenly in their
faces; perhaps they expect the same OF
any blank surface. Whereas in win
dow they can see something, upon oc-
casion even If no more than themselves
