Thursday Bonkinq Hours

While most of the banks have
made provisions in the past for late
afternoon business on at least four
days a month, the change announced
last week by President A. S. Offutt
of the District Bankers Association
has the advantage of making more
uniform the adjustment of the city's
commercial business to suit the con-
venience of Government employees.
New banking hours, effective Sep
tember 80. under which the banks
will be open from to $50 pm. on
Thursdays, will meet the demands,
especially, of late shoppers who take
advantage of the Thursday evening
shopping hours. Comparable ad-
juStments have been made all over
the country as one of the most
effective methods of eliminating
otherwise legitimate alb ienteeism in
war plants. Time must be given en-
ployes for the transaction of private
business out Of Office hours, and Office
hours these days are more exacting
than in the past. The Thursday
afternoon banking schedule is in the
nature of two-month experiment,
arranged after much discussion with
the War Manpower and other Gov
ernment authorities. The banks will
report later on whether the volume

About Speechmokinq
From the ottawa Journal.

from the Ottawa journal,
There are people who imagine that a
great speech can be made on the spur of
the moment; that it may spring from
some great inspiration. They are wrong.
Going over the priceless speeches in our
history, the great efforts of the great
orators, we may be sure that they were
the products of mental toll and anguish
For thinking is hard work There is no
way, we suppose, by which public men
can be made to work at their speeches.
Yet it would be a good thing If they
could be made to work at them. Gov-
ernment, especially democratic govern
ment, is ruled by words. 1t must follow
that there will be more interest in gov
ernment if its words are noble, distin-
guished, challenging. They are too sell
dom distinguished or noble in these days,
and we think we could support an argu-
ment that this Is much the cause of
public lethargy about government.

his realm.
To survive nearly a quarter of a

Research Urged TO Implement
Advances Of Science in Postwar World,

To the Editor Of The Star:
The inventive genius and inherent
Neurological skills of the American
people have brought about a turn of
events that definitely promises a new
era of industrial achievement, with
resultant increase in our. standard of
living For science, which is playing its
all-important role in winning the war,
also has entered the realm of production
of everyday consumer goods.
A bewildering array of new and i'm
proved products await only the CONVEX
sion of productive facilities to civilian
needs and the acquisition of ample raw
materials. After the war we can expect
''built-in" furniture Of unchippable,
light plastics, glass and vegetable fbers.
Lighting that provides varying tones and
shades of indirect illumination depend
ing on the current color scheme desired)
will be commonplace. Devices and equip
ment depending on electronic energy for
its purpose will be in every home. Auto
and inumerable other advantages will be
capable of so miles to the gallon of
gasoline. One manufacturer will offer an
auto-piano designed to sell for the price
of the average car and able to make q
continental flight for $25 in gas and oil.
Ladies hose of spun glass or "X'' fabric,
an indestructible new plastic, will be
offered. Soybeans will produce a host
of articles in the industrial and consumer
fields.
But with all stages of progress weight
of responsibility must be assumed. New
uses must be found for materials-yes,
entire industries. The dawn of tomor-
rows industrial, peacetime effort will
show sharp conflict between the steel
industry and the ever growing popularity
of the lighter, efficient aluminium, unless
corrective measures are taken now Our
vast cotton industry to which a goodly
percentage of our citizens look for their
daily subsistence, cannot hope to compete
with the soon-to-be manufactured
fabrics of synthetic origin, if old style
methods of production are to be pursued
And there are at least two firms who
will offer fabric indistinguishable from
the finest wool, both to the sense of
touch and sight. 1t is more durable,
softer, yet costs much less. What of our
wooden industry?
These are but few examples of the
many new items we can expect when
victory has been achieved.
I strongly urge that postwar 'investi-
cations" and planning of generalities be
supplemented by governmental or private
committees whose primary objective will
be research pure and simple.

Better Ambulance Service

The Star congratulates Commis-
sioner Mason, Captain Herbert A.
Friede of the Fire Department. DR..
John A. Reed. chairman of the Board
of Police and Fire Surgeons, and
others who assisted them in per-,
fecting the system of centralized
emergency ambulance control just
approved and about to be initiated.
Under this system some twenty-five
ambulances in Washington will be
evailable for immediate dispatch to
Lne scene of an accident. Response
bility for their dispatch, moreover,
has been definitely assigned where,
in the past. it was loosely divided.
Failure in the past to set up such
a system probably is due to the
inertia which occasionally aff1icts
public services. There was never
any shortage of ambulances or any
dereliction which could be definitely
traceable to incompetent employees.
1t is surprising in retrospect that it
had not previously occurred to the
authorities to set up a system that
would function as efficiently as a fire
alarm in getting help when needed,
and getting it promptly. The COM
munity is indebted to Mr.. Mason for
SO promptly acknowledging the need
when pointed out by The Stars en-
phasis on the deplorable delays in
several accidents, and in initiating
the conferences which led to cooper
ative action by all the agencies
concerned.

Boris of Bulgaria

When King Boris III married the
Princess Giovanna of Savoy, third
daughter of the King of italy, in
1880, his bride greeted him with
tears in her eyes. She knew the
tragic legend of his country, the sor-
rowful story of the house of Coburg
to which he belonged. Nothing but
an adventurous theory of conven-
ience justified the wedding. The
royal groom apologized to his un-
happy wife as they left the church.
Prince Simeon, born June 16, 1887,
now nominally ruler of the Bulgar
nation, is the first child of that fate
full union His father was one of the
saddest men who ever lived in mod
ern Europe. Son of Gar Ferdinand,
Boris was born at Sofia on the day
that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
eleven years old-January 80, 1893.
The country over which he was to
rule was in turmoil through the
whole period of his boyhood. His
mother had desired him baptized a
Catholic. The Russian party at court
successfully insisted upon an Ortho-
dox ceremony. In the contest over
his religion was demonstrated the
essential problem of the entire
Balkan area-its disastrous psyche
logical anarchy.

OF wars starting in 1912 and still
continuing Boris, educated at a
military academy, was commissioned
a lieutenant in an infantry regiment,
but his heart and mind were not
those Of professional soldier. The
efforts of the military group to
which he arbitrarily was attached
brought nothing but disappointment
to Bulgaria. Coming to the throne
through the abdication of Ferdinand
in 1918, the new monarch deliber-
ately chose to employ diplomacy
! instead of force to gain the ends
for which he strove. That he was
keenly intelligent was conceded even
by the most notably violent of his
critics. His ministers, the Agrarian

BETHESDA, Md.

Dear Sir:
IT have thrasher which lives in the
shrubbery on the east side of my yard,
This bird evidently has crippled
wings, and have never seen it fly.
TT has lived in the shrubbery for
about two months now. When I first
noticed it, it was very dingy in color, but
today. after receiving good food, it is
much brighter, and much more alert.
"As far as I can see, there is nothing
wrong with it's wings. Do you suppose
bird could have psychological falling,
and not use its wings for some mental
reason, maybe fear to use them?
Il throw out raisins for this thrasher
two times day.
The moment the first raisin hits the
ground, the thrasher darts out of the
bushes, seizes the raisin, and darts back
again.
He seems to live almost wholly on
this food, which he finds to his liking, as
we'll as to his good health.
II am not able to determine whether
this is apyoung or old bird, or exactly
what is the matter with it. I have seen
it hopping around in the yard out on the
lawn, but most of the time it sticks close
to shrubbery and flower borders.
This gives it cover at all times. 1t is
very clever, never showing itself when
cat or dog is around, or much when any
one except myself is present. 1t seems
to know me, and to recognize my call.
VERY truly, H. v. O."
\ X
The brown thrasher is one of our best
birds.
1t is the one which people sometimes
call the "big thrush" because super
flcially it resembles the wood thrush,
having somewhat the same rich brown
coloring and spots on gray chest.
1t belongs to group called the mimic
thrushes, which includes the catbird and
mockingbird.
1t is large bird, almost q foot in
length, with upper parts deep CHINA
mon brown, under parts buff, streaked
with dark.
In some parts of the country it is
called the brown thrush, as If all
thrushes weren't brown, more or less,
with one or two exceptions.
This is bird with many common
names. 1t is called red thrush, fox
colored thrush, sandy mocker, sandy
mockingbird, French mockingbird, brown
mocker. brown mockingbird, ground
thrush, mavis, red mavis and song
thrush.
1t is not thrush at all.
Real thrushes have shorter tails than
the thrasher, and do not turn and twist
around so much when singing.
This thrashing about is where the
name comes from, with emphasis on the
tail. A rather far fetched idea as to
the derivation of the name is that the
bird will thrash" any one who dares
approach its nest.

The Health Program

When all factors are considered,
the $5,000,000 budget proposed by
Health Officer Rutland for the next
fiscal year appears conservative
rather than otherwise, calling for
increases in personnel and facilities
that are modest in relation to the
size of wartime problems created by
serious population overcrowding.
Because of the leSSened numbers
of physicians, graduate nurses and
technicians now available, every
preventive measure should be en-
ployed that will help safeguard or
promote the health of Washingtons
residents. In general, the estimates
of the Health Department for the
year beginning next July l are Of
fered on this premise and should be
accorded sympathetic consider alton
and treatment.
1t is to be remembered, in addition,
that wartime pay legislation has
served to swell the departments sal
ary obligations for 1945 to new high
levels without, of course, adding more
workers to the staffs of the various
services, clinics and hospitals. Fur
thermore, the extra pay items re-
quired by the District for the current
fiscal year have not yet been appro-
priated (they are to be sought in a
deficiency bilD and when they are
provided the net increase in funds
for next year will be less than pres
emily indicated.
Actually, as matters now stand, the
1945 budget request for $5,025, 1889 is
$1,221,142 over appropriations SO far
made for 1914, and some 63 per cent
of this increase is for legislated pay
boosts and transfer to District
charges of some operations now
financed out of Federal grants, leav-
ing only some $45O,000 for extension
of health services and new facilities.
There are no requests for new con-
struction. &C
DR.. Rutland asks funds for be-
ginning three-year program for
adding 1876 nurses to the present
Nursing Bureau staff of 1855; for
adding considerably to the number
of sanitary inspectors, to do better
Job checking on boarding and ROOM
ing houses and general conditions,
and extra strength for most of the
health and hospital services. Pro-
posals for creation of cancer con-
troll division and a mental health
service are urged as means of saving
great sums for the District later on
in institutional care by early and
adequate diagnosis and treatment.
Washington's health program in
past years has been underfinanced.
Public health being "purchasable,"
the amount of money required is
really unimportant in comparison
with the value of the results which
can be achieved

the change involving later hours for
their own workers. President Offutt's
admonition to persons who can to
transact banking business during the
regular hours-9:30 am. to pm
should be needed, reserving the
Thursday afternoon business period
as far as possible for the convenience
Of those for whom the change was
made. The banks, and especially
their employees, are to be thanked
for the fine spirit of cooperation
they have shown in this latest con-
tribution to the war effort.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace,pell.

The male thrasher will fiy directly at
the face of an intruder. Since the birds
bill is very long and sharp, this presents
real danger.
The nest is usually placed foot or two
from the ground, in shrubbery or vines,
occasionally in tree. 1t will contain
from three to five eggs, pale greenish
white, with dark speckles. Many bird
eggs have these speckles; they probably
are for the purpose of concealment.
Il
The thrasher is one of our best birds
from many standpoints, but particularly
because of its food habits. Almost
three-fourth of its food is composed of
beetles, grasshoppers, caterpillars, spiders
and other bugs" Only few of the
insects 1t eats are eaters of other insects
Mostly 1t confines itself to insects plainly
1nlmical to man. This means that
wherever 1t Is, in the home garden or
in the forests, it is cleaning up on crea-
lures which injure our gardens and
foods. This point will be appreciated
by millions more people this year than
last, on account of the Victory gardens.
This has been difficult summer for
vegetable gardening, yet countless thou
sands of new gardeners have at least
been able to raise tomatoes, and to dis
cover for themselves the fun and health
to be derived from working the soil.
The experience itself is one of the best
crops.
In other parts of the country, notably
in the Southwest, there are other forms
of thrashers, including the California
thrasher, Bendire's thrasher, Sennett's
thrasher, curve-billed thrasher Le-
contes thrasher, the crissal thrasher and
Palmer's thrasher. 1t is interesting to
know that the desert thrashers are al
most gray on top. giving the birds q
bleached appearance. One of them, Le-
contes thrasher, can stand desert tenn
peratures of 120 degrees and more.
In view of our correspondents notes on
his thrasher which does not or cannot
use its wings, 1T is interesting to keep in
mind that Leconte's thrasher, which is
about the same size as the brown thrash
er, prefers to run, rather than fly.
1t is said that it can out-run trotting
horse, and is very clever at lodging and
taking cover. 1t will not fly unless COM
PEELED to, when it flys low, just coming
up now and then to the top of cover to
watch its pursuer.
Residents Of the great Southwestern
deserts, who have heard this thrasher
sing at night, say that 1t is an unfor-
getable experience.
It is asserted by travellers that only
the famous road-runner can run faster
than Leconte's thrasher.
1t may be that our correspondent Is
more right than he thought, in at
tributing the lack of flying of his speci-
men to psychological difficulty. It
could be possible, we think, that any
thrasher with an injured wing could
revert to use Of its legs alone.
