Detroit has added another first

The idea is an outgrowth of a
very definite need. At present the
trucking industry is 35 per cent

withdrawal from the policy of isola-
tionism which prevailed as a Repub-
lican policy after the last war. II
such position were taken by the
COP it might go far toward removing
from the campaign the international
issue, leaving the contest to be fought
out largely on domestic issues.
When 1t comes to dealing with
domestic policies and issues, the Re-
publicans are likely to find accord
easy. These policies will deal with
governmental finance, with industry,
commerce and labor, with decentral-
ization Of government and the elm
ination Of bureaucracy" which has
developed by leaps and bounds in the
present Government.
The advisory council is composed
OF members drawn from high Re-
publican officials, both Federal and
State, and from the members of the
partys national committee. They
have all been elected to Office. They
will call for advice. however, from
other party leaders and from the
leaders OF labor, industry and finance.
The work they do will be spade work,
so necessary II the final results are
to be important. And the work they
do should make it possible for the

COP Seeks Unity

Through its recently appointed
Postwar Advisory Council the Repub-
lican party plans to formulate poll
cies upon which the COP and its
candidates may stand in the national
campaign next year. To become the
policies Of the party it will be neces-
Sary, Of course. that they be included
in the platform adopted by the party
in national convention next summer.
The advisory council, however, has
been set up to lay the groundwork
for this platform SO that the dele
gates and their committee On reSOlu-
tions will have something concrete
upon which to work when the ma
tional convention gets underway.
1t is important that the Republican
party have definite and constructive
policies to lay before the country.
The campaign next year will be
waged at a time when the American
people will be vitality interested in
foreign as well as domestic affairs. It
becomes necessary, therefore, that
the Republicans adopt a specific for
eign policy that the voters can under
stand. In the past there has been
strong division over such policy. It
Is realized now that these differences
must be ironed out If the party is to
present united front.
At an informal conference last
week Of the congressional members
Of the advisory council with Chair
man Spangler of the Republican Ma
tional Committee there was 4 free
exchange Of views. Reports emanat-
ing from that conference indicate

For the Trash Basket

Some years ago the United States
Senate'S consideration of the renomi-
nation of the late Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen was held up Tempo
rarlly at the request of the then
Senator James F. ByrneS of South
Carolina. 1t developed that the
Senator was interested in the case of
two headquarters detective sergeants
who had been reduced to the ranks
on suspicion that they had accepted
money. He felt that the men had
been disciplined without a hearing
and he took this unusual method of
securing that hearing.
The Commissioners appointed q
special trial board, Commissioner
Hazen was confirmed, the two ex-
detectives, Herbert E. Brodie and Leo
Murray, were tried by this board and
dismissed from the force in 1910.
They took their case to District Court,
which upheld the trial board, and
then appealed 1t to the United States
Court Of Appeals, which sustained
the lower court. The Court Of Ap-
peals found that the trial board had
B ample evidence" to support its
action.
Now comes Representative McMil-
Ian of South Carolina, a member Of
the District Committee, with bill to
restore the two ex-detectives to the
force. The Commissioners, reporting
on the bill, say the men were guilty
and are unfit to be policemen. Obvi-
ously, the ex-detectives have what it
takes to bring pressure to bear from
the direction of South Carolina. It
is equally obvious that the House
District Committee should promptly

The ReuI VuIue of Gold
Prom the Montreal Information.

Prom the Montreal Information
The example Of Germany is often cited
to prove that gold can be dispensed with.
1t Is recognized that, as matter of fact,
there is no gold in Germany, or at least
that there Is not as much as in other
countries. 1t is for that reason that some
people believed, before the outbreak Of
the war. that Germany could not last
long because she had no gold As mat
ter OF fact, Germany, in spite of the little
gold she has in her treasury, has been
able to make war all these years. That
does not mean, however, that it Is an
example to initiate. The Germans, and
in fact all those who live in countries
occupied by the Nazis, are forced to ac-
cept money which has in reality no value.
At the present moment in the countries
where the currency has no coverage, what
value is there TO savings made before the
war, life insurance policies, etc? Ger
tainly very little, for without gold COW
erage imitation cannot be avoided and
that means ruin to those who have saw

comparatively few references to our duty.

the conquered countries of Europe.
I recently heard an address by Rufus
Jones, member Of the Society Of Friends
and one Of the best known among those
who have been ministering to the needy.
the wounded, the sick, the injured and
the starving refugees across the water.
His account of the work of the Quaker
unit whose activities he has been direct
ing, painted q picture Of conditions
existing there today, and the desperate
need of help, which was heartrending;
but amid the tragedy of it all, there was
note of satisfaction in the fact that
such endeavors are doing more than
anything else to counteract the propa-
ganda against us, with which the minds
Of our brothers and sisters in other
lands have been poisoned, and these
acts Of mercy have gone . long way in
winning confidence in Americas diSin-
terested and friendly attitude.
Another reassuring declaration made
by the speaker was that not one dollar
of money or one ounce of food sent
through their organization or through
the Red Cross. through which the writer
understands they work has failed to
reach those for whom it actually was
intended.
With such facts before us. can we not
devote little more time and money to
the victims Of Nazi brutality?

Grund Lurceny

According to popular notion
fostered by New York gag writer's,
Philadelphia is dead town, but with
a special local ordinance that allows
its zombie inhabitants to move about
the streets III a daZe, instead of rest
ing quietly in cemeteries. The case
has never been proved, to the salts
faction OF Philadelphians, but it
must be admitted that a recent de-
velopment puts the burden of proof
on the City OF Brotherly Love. A new
high in grand larceny was per-
petrated there when some miscreant,
presumably from live town, stole a
steam shovel.
The Philadelphia police, all
steamed up, are digging into the
case and leaving no paving stone un-
turned in their search for the miss
ing vehicle. They announce that
sensational developments may be ex-
pected any month. Meanwhile loyal
Philadelphians are CO. operating,
particularly the Union of Steam
Shovel Kibitzers. So far, no new
shovel has turned up on any job the
USSk have been in the habit Of
supervising as sidewalk engineers.
Nor has any such vehicle been seen
moving on any road out of Phila-
delphia, thus disposing of the theory
that the thief was trying to take the

According to our informant the talk

1t at least so times. 1t must be said in
the same tone. and by the same person
each time.
Grackles are ruthless birds
Their in-winging at bird feeding
station Is always to be looked upon with
suspicion.
In fact these shiny birds often called
blackbirds, are not desirable in any
garden where the other birds are fed.
They have bad habits, including that
OF tearing OF, with their powerful
beaks, the legs and heads OF the babies
OF other species
This is just sheer wanton murder and
can be done for no other purpose, since
they never eat their victims.
One may wonder why smart animals
often have to be so mean.
1t seems to hold true all up and down
through nature, including the two
legged animal without feathers, man.
Most persons have observed some time
or other, that unusual intelligence and a

they are splendid parents, guarding the
young against all comers-until one day
they decide, evidently, that they are old
enough, and then they eat them on the
spot, II they can catch them.
Grackles are tall. streamlined birds,
sometimes called the crow blackbird,
maize thief or purple jackdaw.
They are more than a foot long the
plumage black with metallic hues The
bill is long and black and very strong.
The eyes are pale yellow, with a mur-

AS far as We know not even a vulture
has such = mean eye as the purple
grackle.
His murderous proclivities seem to be
completely without reason. His diet is
about half vegetable, mostly grain, with
some fruit. Only about third of his
food consists Of harmful insects
His speciality seems to be grub worms,
which he feeds to his nestlings. In
this regard, at least, he is good.
We believe that purple grackles
should never be allowed to remain long
in any yard where bird feeding is car
ried on. A few we'll directed excursions

ularly disturb the regular customers.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

DCdI
THE purple grackle has, in numerous
instances, been a serious offender in Its
relation to other birds and their young
However, it seems desirable to give the
devil his due and call attention to a
recent display of considerable intelligence
on the part of one Of these birds
"A pair Of grackles had three or four
fledglines not long out Of the n.st. The
mother bird found 4 dry crust which she
could not easily break up. She carried
1t to a nearby bird bath and 'dunked
and swished 1t In the water several times
and then attempted to break 1t; the
crust was still too hard and she 'dunked
and swiShed 1t again several times. She
was then able to break 1t and fed the
bits to her babies.
The above observation was made on
the National Museum grounds nearest
to Twelfth street and Constitution ave-
nue.. In addition to the usual pigeons
starlings and English sparrows, the fol-
lowing birds have been observed on these
grounds since March l OF this year:
The robin first appeared before March
l and has been there almost contin-
uously since that time. On several occa =
sions there have appeared song and
chipping sparrows, pair Of cardinals
several Juncos (snowbirds), towhees
tmale and female), brown thrashers
catbirds and fiickers. In early May q
white-throated sparrow put in his ap-
pearance and later In the month an
olive-backed thrush.
Recently. on several occasions. from
two to 10 cedar waxwings have come foi
ripe mulberries to the big mulberry tree
near the southwest corner of the Ma.
tional Museum Building. The appear.
ance OF these sleek and tailored birds Is
always an event of importance.
Just west OF this area and acros,
Twelfth street is 4 clump of evergreens
surrounding a tangle of honeysuckle
For several weeks a pair OF song SPAR
rows have made their home in this area
Judging by their conduct, they now have
\ nest in the honeysuckle.
Sincerely. A. H. K"
Starlings, too, are great dunkers OF
bread.
1t seems as II the various birds with
black feathers are rather more intelli-
gent, as class, than most of the song
sters.
The raven and crows can be taught to
talk, even to the extent OF saying COM
