The announcement OF the volume

Tell Berna, general manager of the
National Machine Tool Builders As
sociation.
1t Is worthy of note that the ma
chine tool is not something that can
be adapted to the needs of the mo-
ment. 1t has to be planned and
designed long in advance, and 1t has
to be right AS Mr.. Berna put it.:
Right now the machine tool builder
and the men in his shop are fighting
the battle of tomorrow In this war
we cannot meet an emergency; we
must anticipate it. If we do not an
ticipate it, we will be beaten"
In other words, the pattern of the
battles of next year is being shaped
now in the tooling shops Of the bel
ligerents. Happily, this is field in
which the United States stands head
and shoulders above the others, and
this superiority is the best guarantee
of victory that we have.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trncetcell.

joyment. both by birds and humans.
The prime rule is to put 1t where 1t Is
best patronized, and where, If possible,
1t will be best seen by onlookers.
This rule, like all rules, Is not always
easy to follow
If you do not want squirrels the sta
ton must be we'll away from all trees,
shrubs and fences, or parts of homes.
The squirrel is active and inventive,
and is able to get into most feeding sta
tions, Pigeons are persistent, They
never give up and also possess the ability
to fly as we'll as any bird.
Placement of a station, now that fall
Is almost here, is small question which
will bother great many people, as they
take up this recreation
1t may be helpful to some persons to
tell them that bird feeding is conserva-
tion, and conservation of Americas ma
tural resources is one of the best jobs the
average person can do at this time.
Birds play an important part in the
economy of the nation. Their inter-
relation with agriculture, soil, weather
and human beings Is an interesting one,
which has never been studied to the full
by any one or any organization
The time will come when a complete
understanding of such matters will be a
part Of the life of every nation, but in
the present groping narred by wars and
uneasy STRINGS during peace, no time
has been found for such work.
Scientists who have made beginning,
tell us that nature sets up various ma
tural controls, and that as long as We
let these operate, we are much better off.
We are not interfering with nature
when We feed the birds, but we are in
terfering when we kill hawks.
Most Of the trouble comes, in conserya-
ton, when we kill That, no doubt, is
the main trouble. when we include man
kind in conservation.
Trying to do good is wholesome. but
killing is not now, any more than it
ever was. an intelligent process, unless
1t is applied to avowed enemies.
The best place to put feeding sta
ton is where you can see it,
There is not much point in locating
1t where onlookers have a difficult time
in identifying the species which come
to it.
At window is one of the best places.
1t Is easy to fill there, an important
point in cold weather, and the site
gives perfect observation
Yet at times various circumstances
come up which make such a location
impossible.
Then place farther out In the yard
will have to be selected.
Do not worry too much about squirrels
They are part of the bird feeding
picture, we have always thought. Where
we draw the line is at pigeons-only they
don't seem to know it-and we hope our
correspondent has some ideas about
| them.

More Ships Available

While censorship has permitted
only the barest details of the opera
ton to become public. it appears that
valuable addition Is being made to
the American sea a-going merchant
fleet by the diversion of Great Lakes
carriers which are moved through
inland waterways to salt water.
The vessels involved are small
perhaps 5000 tons-but the need for
bottoms is so great that this newly
developed source of supply repre-
sents a gain that Is not to be under
estimated.
This tonnage heretofore has lain
idle from December to April, when
the lakes were closed to navigation,
and the shift therefore repre-
sents only a partial loss to lake ship
ping facilities. All the cargoes that
would have been carried In the ships
presumably will go to the railroads
now, as there are no present plans to
return them to their regular trade
until after the war. Ore and grain
ships are not involved In the arrange

CHEVY CHASE, Md.


"In a recent column you stated that
| 1t was impossible to build bird feed
ing station that could not be reached
by squirrels. I do not agree with you.
| In fact, several months ago I wrote you
| how it could be done. Several people
came by to look at 1t, and they said they
would build one.
ut is very simple proposition. Get
a piece of one inch or one and quarter
inch steel pipe eight feet long and sink
this into the ground about two feet.
Drill hole in the pipe and anchor your
station near the top. Then get piece
of sheet metal, and fit an apron around
the pipe about foot below the feeder
The apron should be pitched about As
degrees. Do not place this near house,
tree or fence, as the squirrels will jump
over the apron and get to the seed.
Il have operated mine for two years,
and while the squirrels have tried rea
peatedly to ascend, they have not been
successful.
Sincerely, c. A. A."
Now, II our correspondent would In
vent pigeon proof feeding station, he
would really be doing something
The pigeon, as pointed out here several
times, Is the greatest nuisance of all at
q bird feeding station.
Those persons are fortunate who have
not been bothered by them
Pigeons have none OF the intriguing
quality of the squirrel and they are
dirty as we'll as superpersistent.
The task of frightening them away
demands more time and patience than
the average householder has to give
to it.
The birds even then merely roost on
roof block away, and return to the
fray at the first opportunity.
*+
In building a squirrel-proo feeding
station, such as outlined above. steel
and other metals cannot be used now,
due to priorities.
A stout wooden pole may be used, or
even a pine four -by-four. If feasible, it
should be sunk in concrete. Since feed
ing stations are usually of wood, this
would be very well with the pole or
post.
The apron mentioned might be made
Of pieces of board, but the probability
is that some old piece of metal could
be found for this purpose.
Perhaps the simplest of all ideas for
squirrel-proofing a station is to grease
the pole with bacon fat.
Persons who have tried this swear that
1t works, and that the comical look of
amazement on the faces of the active
rodents, as they try to climb the pole,
is worth anything, provided the observer
happens to be one who appreciates such
things.

improvement in Radio

Until recently 1t has been a mys-
terry how the lady mosquito, tired of
spinsterhood, and suddenly become
matrimony- conscious, does some
thing constructive about finding a
husband. An entomologist from the
University of Wisconsin gives the an
swer He says she advertises by radio.
Her method is so superior to mans
attempts that there is no comparison.
She needs no special permission, nor
need she cut any red tape, to get on
the air. No one can tell her what or
how to broadcast. Equipped with
pair OF antennae, she broadcasts
without notice to anybody on her
own private wave length. sits tight
and awaits results. She employs no
comedians or expensive guest stars to
get her appeal over; she uses her own
script, knowing that somewhere
within the range Of her kilocycles is
an eligible bachelor with his own an
tennae turned on and tuned to sta
ton BUZZ, just waiting for suitable
program. When it comes, he orients
himself to receive it equally on each
antennae, This puts him right on
the beam, says the Wisconsin en-
tomologist, and enables him to open
his throttle and head directly for the
advertiser-a big improvement over
human radio sponsors, who must dis
tribute their products in thousands
of stores and pay heavily to do It,
