there are advantages which should
appeal to the housewife as well as to
the retail dealer. Every woman will
know the established price Of meat,
and every retail dealer will be pro-
tected from those OF his competitors
who have been able to obtain fancy
prices because of the demand. With
retail prices under such ceilings, some
Of the pressure that has sent the
price OF livestock upward may be
relieved.
To a substantial number Of meat
professors, however, Mr.. Wickard's S
failure to place ceilings on livestock,
plus new restrictions on slaughter,
will mean further hardship. The
legal price for processed meats is
based on 135-cent hogs that are SELL
ing now for 1876 cents. Unless the
controls placed on retail prices and
slaughter are effective in bringing
down the price of livestock, these
people are still in trouble. But the
black market definitely is on the way
out.

CLOSING the Black Market

Price Administrator PrentiSs Brown
and Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
are moving on two fronts against the
black market in meat and their COL
lective strategy may accomplish
something. Mr.. Brown is announc-
ing retail price ceilings on popular
cuts of pork. to become effective
April l. The ceilings presumably will
be extended to other meats and take
effect about the time meat rationing
begins.
Secretary Wickard, as food admin
istrator, will require all slaughterers
Of livestock, including the farmer
and the local butcher to obtain per-
mits for every operation; livestock
dealers must keep records OF every
sale and the slaughter permit num-
ber must be stamped on wholesale
cuts of meat. This procedure will be
a bookkeeping headache for the Gov
ernment agents and for those whom
it affects. But 1t is going to make 1t
more difficult for black market oper-
ators to obtain or to dispose of their
wares through regular channels OF
trade. And If enough patriotic citi-
zens can be enlisted, there will be no
bootleg channels.
As for the posting Of retail prices.

sleet. in order to I'LL up the birds feeding
places.
Such intensive feeding costs money, In
times when money must be spent for
what. many people regard as far more
important matters.
Pigeons and squirrels, which like a
'ehandout" as well as any, add to the cost.
Food which Is put out intermittently
Will do great deal of good, too.
It Is often possible to see grain and
seeds sprinkled on downtown sidewalks.
They may not appear every day. these
food supplies, but they appear often
enough to give the birds great deal of
help.
Thousands Of Government workers who
spend their lunch hours In the small
parks give part of their food to the birds
and squirrels.
This not only pleases the givers, but
helps the wild creatures.
Helping the birds at any time is always
q two-sided venture-and adventure.
Many . person who has idly watched
some one else do 1t, In time has come to
try his own hand at 1t, and found it
wonderfully interesting and soothing.
In trying times, we need to keep firm
hold on all activities which help to rest
tangled nerves.
Books, music-these are two of the
most important nerve tonics.
Bird life offers third.
It Is both an indoor and an outdoor
sport. one which may be enjoyed by the
athlete on hikes, and by the invalid in
bed. The same can scarcely be said Of
any other sport.
The same may be said of it as has
been said Of gardening, that no one is
too old or too young for interest in birds.
The helping hand, in this case, may
be old or young, but to the hungry crea-
lures of nature it makes not the slightest
difference In the world.
In taking up interest in birds, the
beginner should watch out carefully
not to become enmeshed in disputes. He
should not take sides" for or against
any bird, but should try to look at them
all in the same light as far as possible.
1t will be difficult, at times, and some
times impossible, but the idea is to
watch as though one were a god, far
above and beyond mans petty feelings
and emotions.
In this way we may all become super
men" Of real worth, and 1t may be that,
In time-who knows7-we shall be lead
ers In 4 worldwide effort to induce
quarreling, fighting man to forget his
differences, and to concentrate on the
good things in this world and In his
own character.
The birds have tried their best, over
the centuries, to set us a good example
When you stop to think Of the million,
Of them and how well they get along to-
gether, in the main, you must admit that
in being interested in them, one is being
Very sensible, indeed.

Hitting Below the Belt

That was a good letter from Lieu
tenant Colonel Elliott Roosevelt, read
to the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative Lanham of Texas. It was
good because it was warmly human
and 4 sincere expression of righteous
Indignation. His mother does not
think he should have written it.
why did he bother about it?" she
asked. And perhaps to suffer in
dignified silence might have been a
noble course. But those who have
read the letter are glad it was
written, for it deals effectively with
form Of political attack on the
President, through his four sons,
which all fair-minded Americans
resent.
They are right to resent it. The
Presidents sons have given a good
account of themselves under condi-
tions which have made their war
service doubly difficult. Any little
slip on their part, overlooked in the
case of anybody else, would be mag
nified and distorted by the type of
politician on the lookout for such
things. Three of them have con-
Quoted themselves with credit in
hazardous duty on land, at sea and in
the air. Another has set a fine
example in his quiet acceptance of a
less spectacular, but important as
signment ashore. But regardless of
what they have done, or have not
done, it is discreditable to use these
young men as the vehicle for a per-
sonal attack on their father.
Republicans and Democrats ap-
plauded Mr.. Lanham yesterday and
gave additional evidence, If any were
needed, that while they may be
divided on other things, there is no
difference between them in hearty
reputation Of a vicious and inde-
fensible form Of politics.

New Tune at OPA

Price Administrator Prentiss
Browns observation that the time
has come 'to stop all unnecessary
mconveniences of the public" will
strike a responsive chord from pub
lie that was never as much disturbed
by the objective of OPA regulations
as the method chosen to enforce
them. And perhaps the method was
40 better illustrated than in the first
OPA announcement that enforce
ment of the pleasure driving ban
would be based on the doctrine that
the suspect was considered guilty
until able to prove his innocence
That same attitude has been shown
tn other things and the public has
become sick and tired of it.
Mr.. Brown expects to secure volun-
tary compliance, in place of the COM
pliance enforced by threats and in
spectors out to make a case and get
their names in the papers. He be-
heves the people will cooperate, once
they understand the need to do so.
And most of them will. The minority
will continue to give him trouble.
His greatest danger, in proving the
soundness of his theory now, is that
If this minority's violations of the
''honor system" become too fragrant,
disaffections from an erstWhile loyal
majority will grow. There is nothing
that irks the good citizen quite so
much as seeing his neighbor getting
away" with something he has denied
to himself.
The ban on pleasure driving has
been a success, by and large, which
can be attributed to volunteer CO.

oofled enforcement and Withdrawal

Of ration coupons - although this
may have been effective a. good pub
licity-which accompanied its orig
inal announcement. Some citizens
may have observed the regulations
from fear Of apprehension and pub
lie embarrassment. But the vast
majority Of them have complied be-
cause they understood the necessity
and because they felt that it was
rather cheap and mean not to lend
hand. 1t is to this group, primarily,
that Mr.. Brown makes his appeal for
joining him In an experiment with
the "honor system" And as far as
these people are concerned 1t will

II am constant reader of your COL

Many factors today operate against the

Any person who helps them is helping
agriculture. This year, more than ever
before, all such help will be needed
Just as in good will advertising, as it is
called, where 1t is dinicult to put ones

feeding the birds it is impossible to say
precisely what any one person achieves.
But there can be no question In the
world Of the good done.

It is not necessary, in feeding the birds,
to never fail to give them something.
That, of course, is one way Of doing it.
