Jimmy Latimer who besides making

this team in order to win further
victories must learn more plays and

Complains About Policeman
Who Criticized Flashing of Light.
~,

On the night of August 10, when the
siren sounded the warning for black
out. I proceeded Immediately to my
ETH post. In going, I saw taxi NOV
ing with lights on. I reminded the
driver Of the fact that he should stop,
but to my surprise. just then I noticed
that he had passed motorcycle ofiicer
parked by the side Of the street who
made no effort to stop the cab.
I then went on to my post and because
of the very dark night and because
there was some danger In getting in
to my post, flashed my light to safe
guard two ladies who had gotten there.
Then the officer rushed up and, though
I had on my helmet and arm band,
in no uncertain language accused me
of signaling.
After leaving this officer few steps,
observed 10 cars with their lights on,
moving along one of our avenues, with
a motor police escort.
I am wondering about these incon-
sistencies on the part OF our cops. Why
should they be concerned with fash

Less Talk, More Drills

Commissioner Guy Mason has al
ready been SO frankly critical of
official carelessness in connection
with Monday nights surprise black
out that further comment on past
failures is superf1uous He shows no
disposition to belabor the public
when the authorities were themselves
neglectful.
Nor will it ever be very helpful
continually to scold those who
through ignorance or willful dis
obedience refuse to comply with
blackout egulations-once they are
drawn, approved and promulgated.
The purpose of the drills has been
sufficiently publicized to be gen.
arally understood. The purpose is
serious enough to warrant the incon-
veniences and annoyances of sur
prise blackouts, repeated so often
that response will be automatic. The
authorities, wisely, have been lenient,
up to this time, in refraining from
any wholesale prosecutions OF vio-
lators. But if city-wide compliance
is to be obtained. the violators must
be appropriately dealt with from now
on-regardless OF whether they leave
the hall light burning at home or in
the District Building. II that is not
done, people will begin to wonder
whether anybody takes the matter
seriously.

Dr.. Arnold Genthe

Among the great camera artists of
his time, DR.. Arnold Genthe, now
dead at 73, is sure to be remembered.
He was equipped with an intellectual
advantage which most of his col
leagues lacked, and he also possessed
a natural capacity for the quick per-
ception of pictorial values which the
majority Of his contemporaries could
not claim. Born In Berlin, January 8,
1859, he grew up in the atmosphere
of German romanticiSm at its best
the period of the Munich school. The
classical training which he received
from his father and at Hamburg and
Jena remained an asset throughout
his life. He was skilled philologist,
an experienced archeologist and
widely-read student of philosophy
before he became a photographer.
DR.. Genthe's original concern for
pictorial Recommendation was purely
amateur in character. He did not
attempt to support himself by the use
OF the lens until 1898. Meanwhile, in
1895 he had removed to the United
States and taken the first step in the
direction OF a conscious Americanism
which later was to have a compelling
influence upon his career. He main
tanned a studio in San Francisco until
1911, and 1t was In that city on April
18, 1905, that he made the earthquake
and fire records upon which his fame
always in large part will depend.
Subsequently, he developed the tech
nique OF magic portraiture which won
for him not merely numerous dis
tinguished clients but likewise the
generous applause Of professional
critics. Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow
Wilson, John D. Rockefeller, ST.;
Andrew w. Mellon, Ignace Paderew-
ski, John Galsworthy, Arturo Tosca-
mini, John Mccormack and many
other celebrated figures in states

Later she sneezed once or twice.
The last time she was seen she was

evening.
Just before she went to sleep she
looked toward the north over by the
woodpile. Her human friends paid no
particular attention to the look. A year
ago there had been a rat hole there but
it was stopped up and the rodent killed
with red squill.
About 10 minutes after Lilly had
seemed nodding on the woodpile she had
disappeared. A chance entry into the
house for tool revealed her nowhere
at all.
Calling her did no good In the past

obtained should be saved as a
precious treasure. 1t hopefully is

Fifth Column Hoax

The exposure by The Star of what
has all the earmarks OF having been
q fragrant attempt by some Army
press agent to palm of on the public
a faxed story of deadly guideposts"
planted by NTH columnists" to di-
rect enemy bombers to strategic
military installations on the Eastern
Seaboard should lead to the taking
of vigorous corrective action by re-
sponsible oficials in the War De-
partment.
This Is q serious matter, not so
much because most OF the newspa-
pers of the country were taken In"
by the manufactured fifth-column
scare, but because Of the prejudicial
effect that such press agent stunts
may be expected to have on public
morale. This hoax, apparently origi-
mating with the First Ground Air
Support Command at Mitchell Field,
N. Y, was based on three photo
graphs purporting to show deadly"
markers, planted by imaginary fifth
columnists to guide the enemy to
airplane factories and large air
base. Actually, these supposed mark
ers were as innocent Of serving any
wrongful purpose as were the re-
spectacle citizens anonymously la
beled as fifth columnists, and these
facts undoubtedly were known to the
sponsors Of the scare" story.
Fortunately, the War Department

This Is the story of Lilly Belle, how
she was lost in the tool house for "a
hours, and how she was found again.
Lilly Belle is baby robin
She was about week old, when found,
after falling out of the nest, and three
weeks old when her adventure occurred.
In the meantime, she had grown tre-
mendously.
Bringing up young bird by hand is
not easy. What to feed it is the imme-
diate question.
Lilly Belle liked bread and milk, pref
erably whole wheat bread she would
eat lamb. but was very shy of beef and
liked fishin' worms best of all
Yolk of hard-boiled egg was tolerated
quite well at first, but she soon tired of
it. Stray beetles of small size were IA
vorites. Water, fed with a medicine
dropper, was a necessity.
t*
The knack of feeding young birds con-
sists of poking the food far back in the
bill
If it is not pushed far down. 1t will
come up, or won't be taken at all.
Did you ever see a parent bird ram
morsels down the throat of young
one?
Lilly Belle would perch contentedly on
a finger, making soft chirps.
There were two rows of down on her
head, at first, making small horns. These
disa in one day
Lilly greeted you from her box in the
tool house with a particular chirp of
greeting
1t was succeeded by her hungry cry,
very much louder
Satisfaction of hunger led to sort
of trilling.
All this time she was growing. At first
she could not even hop up to the edge
of her box, over which a screen had
been placed. In day or two she could
hop to the edge, where she sat for hours.
In time she was allowed the freedom
Of the tool house. Her favorite perch
was the woodpile. Here she would look
around in the most knowing fashion.
She seemed to favor looking toward
the north, where huge old bureau was
backed up against the unfinished wood
en- wall.
s4.s
Feeding young birds which have fallen
out of the nest, and whose parents
cannot be located, is best done every
hour, at first.
The bird, itself. will more or less regu-
late the time. Soon every two hours is
enough, and feeding may be done at
less intervals
Young birds like bit Of sand, and
even leaves and other chaff. These they
peck for themselves Bits OF angleworn
may be placed before them, to give them
a chance to perfect the pecking reflex
This is perhaps the most valuable ir
the life of q bird
Lilly Belle soon learned to fly rather
