Library q Depository

The Senate yesterday before re-
cessing approved bill providing for
the recognition of the Washington
Free Public Library as depository
for Government documents. Such
action follows the tradition under
which many State institutions of
similar character are furnished with
copies of Federal publications as an
accommodation both to the Nation
and to the local communities thus
favored. Just why the District of
Columbia was not included in the list
long since is minor mystery of a
sort. Much more interesting is the
prospect that it soon may be added
to the roster.
There is no compulsion involved
In the arrangement. The Washing
ton Library will not be expected to
accept everything printed by the
Government. Relatively few docu-
ments deserve permanent storage in
any photographic establishment.
Those that are wanted for preserva-
ton and reference use, however, not
uncommonly are desired by consid-
cradle numbers of people. Some, in
evitably, are expensive. The saving
indicated for the Library may be
several hundred dollars year-a
small sum, yet one which the Lii
brary will be glad to have for the
purchase of other materials de-
manded by readers.
1t is suggested that the Federal
Government will be advantaged by
the passing of the pending legisla-
tion through the DETECTION of some
local students from the Library of
Congress, currently overcrowded.
Citizens wishing to consult the docu-
mentS referred to would find them
available at Mount Vernon Square as
we'll as on Capitol Hill. The House of
Representatives, it is hoped, will give
It's attention to the bill as soon as 1t
reconvenes in September.

Cathedral Windows

The three beautiful stained glass
windows unveiled yesterday in men,
ory of Harry Lee Rust, Senior; his
wife and son Gwinn bring to ap-
proximate completion the apse of
Washington Cathedral and repre-
sent, in a certain notable respect, the
fulfillment of half a century of en-
deavor at Mount Saint Alban Fol-
lowing tradition of the Gothic age
In France and England, the colored
glazing of the crown of the church
tells the storysof Christ crucified,
risen and ascended into glory. The
secondary figures include Mary, the
virgin mother, and John, the be-
loved disciple; also, Saint Michael,
the captain of the Host of Heaven,
trampling the dragon, and Saint
Gabriel, the herald, announcing the
resurrection. Kneeling angels and
seraphim are introduced in the side
lancets of the central composition.
The principal figures are approx
mately twice life size.
Wilbur Herbert Burnham and
Joseph G. Reynolds, Junior, of Bos-
ton, were responsible for the design
and its execution. They explain that
they were guided in their effort by
a desire to achieve full realization
of the emotional and spiritual power
of the changing color harmonies Gre
ated by varying lights result
ing from brilliant and gray days"
The degree of their success may be
judged from the fact that the con-
gregation at the dedication service
audibly exclaimed at the radiance
revealed when the curtains were
drawn aside and flood of sunshine
poured into the building. Blue seems
the predominant value, relieved by
glowing red and yellow. The manner
Of the partners in the work is modern
in character; their craftsmanship is
faultless, but they have been careful
not to err in the direction of too
precise detail. Nothing inordinately
meticulous has been permitted to in
terfere with the strength and power
of their effort.

the cathedral was appreciated when
it first was projected in 1891. George

American Index

The development of the Index of
American Design was an important
enterprise, and the recent announce
ment that it is to be sheltered in the
National Gallery of Art will stir
rejoicing among all Americans inter
ested in their esthetic inheritance.
Included in the deposit are twenty
two thousand documented drawings,
water colors and Oil paintings illus
trating the basic culture of the
people of the United States as it has
been demonstrated in textiles, cera-
mics, glassware, furniture, pewter,
silver, decorative iron, rugs and
carpets, coverlets, costumes and
ornaments
Critics find in the assembled ma
terial the evidence of a folk expert
ence of universal proportions. A
"mefnorandum to the press" ex-
plains: Men cutting weather vanes
out of iron and blowing goblets out
Of glass and shaping plates from clay
did not cease to exercise their sense
of form and color Women sewing
quilts and stitching samplers con-
tinued to use their eyes and their
imaginations. Wood carvers and
furniture makers continued to con-
Germ themselves with the lines of
their f1gureheads and the just pro-
portions of their cabinets The
popular arts, the practical arts, the
arts which always must exist in
living society survived and increased
in vigor. Thus were built up tradi-
tions of skill and taste which were as
thoroughly American as similar skills
and tastes are peculiarly English or
Italian"
Of course, all art is useful, and the
author Of the words here quoted did
not mean to suggest any contrary
doctrine. What the Index stresses
is the artistic instinct, the i'm
pulse toward creative design, which
prompted the enterprise of the
American people when their i'm
mediate pragmatic purposes were
merely the building of barns or the
dressing of scarecroWs. Such en-
deavors were not altogether indie
pendent of foreign influence. The
pioneers who brought the King James
Bible and Shakespeare from England,
old tapestries from France, silver and
glass from Holland, delicate lace from
Belgium did not attempt to isolate
themselves from the patterns of the
Old World from which they came. 1t
Is no accident that Williamsburg in
Virginia and Annapolis in Maryland
are Georgian towns, as much in
debted to Sir Christopher Wren and
lingo Jones as any community in
Britain.
The Index, however, shows the
impact of America upon its settlers.

decorations for the Capitol are SYM
bolic of the adaptation which was
inevitable. The tools and equipment
of the cowboys of Texas are related

Mayor Huque's Allies

The strange case of the Commu-
nists and Frank Hague, mayor of
Jersey City and Democratic boss of
New Jersey, gives preview of what
may be expected in the political line
up OF 1914. 1t had been supposed that
Mayor Hague and the Communists
were as far apart as the poles, What
brings them together, apparently, is
common desire to see President
Roosevelt reelected next year. This
common support of the President is
not new. 1t is something new, how
ever, for the Communists to give
their Endorsement to Mayor Hague.
William Norman, secretary of the
Communist Party of New Jersey,
writing in the Communist Daily
Worker, has declared that it is a
mistake to condemn Mayor Hague as
an enemy of the workers. Indeed,
according to Mr.. Norman, it is an
"outworn conception" which is "serv-
ing the demagogic purpose of reac-
ton" This is the same Mr.. Hague
who used to chase labor organizers
out Of Jersey City, and whose police
men escorted Norman Thomas away
when he tried to make a speech in
Journal Square.
1t will be recalled, however that at
one time the Communists in this
country looked with some favor on
Hitler, because of the Nazi nom
aggression pact with Communist
Russia. In those days the Reds
dubbed the war against the Axis
powers an imperialistic war. But
when Hitler invaded Russia, they
sang another song. Their about-face
was immediate. They wanted this
country to 60 to war-on the side of
Russia.
The immediate cause of the Com
munist support of Mr.. Hague is a
desire to strengthen the hand of one
of the leaders upon whom Mr.. Roose-
velt will have to rely if he is a candi-
date In the campaign of 1914. Mr..
Hague is facing a tough political
situation in his own home State. Not
only has the State swung strongly
Republican in recent elections, but
the present Democratic governor,
Charles Edison, is out to give Mr..
Hague drubbing in the coming
gubernatorial race Not that Mr..
Hague expects to be candidate him
self-but he does expect to name the
Democratic standard bearer in that
race. The election of a Republican
governor of New Jersey would have
both a practical and psychological
effect in the national campaign next
year. an effect inimical to the chances
of President Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt administration has
done nothing to aid Governor Edison
in his fight with the Hague machine
in New Jersey. On the contrary, the
President appointed Mr.. Hague's
candidate for the Federal bench,
Thomas Meany, who was confirmed
by the Senate over the vigorous pro-
test of Governor Edison. This may
be regarded as practical politics The
same may be said of the Communist
swing to Mayor Hague.

different In details. A cigar store

even If the idea for the figure was
derived from reredos in Bourgos or
a facade at Amiens or Exeter.
Such variations are worth preserv-
ing. The WPA Federal Art Project,
like all other make work" expedi-
ents OF the New Deal, is finished and
done. But the money it cost was well
spent. The National Gallery will be
enriched by the accommodation OF
the Index within its walls. Genera
tions hence this affirmation may be
echoed with an enthusiasm which
naturally has grown with the passing
of the years. Meanwhile, living
Americans-more than a few-are
grateful.

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles =. TracetceH.

We cannot recall seeing 4 bird In q
bright yellow, blue or red birdhouse
Those made with the bark still on
are good selections. Any gray, such as
one often sees In nature, Is good
choice.
The bird population of yard Is
changing all through the summer.
Usually not more than two or three
nests will be made in. any one average
sized yard.
These will always be different species.
But new species will frequent the
yard, from time to time. in the search
for food. This is especially true if sum-
mer feeding Is carried on
Mostly, however, the birds prefer in
sects and berries, and any garden which
has them is sure to have new bird
visitors
The latest in our yard are the wood
thrushes.
While we had an occasional one since
April %, their date Of arrival, 1t was
only recently that they took to visiting
the yard in twos and fours.
Surely there is no finer bird than the
thrush. 1t has distinction of appear
ance which differentiates 1t from al
most all Of the other birds.
Two things, in addition to its won-
derful outdoors song" set 1t apart from
most birds.
One is its trim, clean appearance
It has always seemed to us that 1t has
this quality to degree outshining any
other bird.
And second, 1t has a mild gentle eye
Few biras have exactly this same type
OF eye, although not many of them have
such murderous gleam as the grackle,
with its cold yellow.
There is something in the light of
the wood thrush's eye which bespeaks a
we were about to say humanity but
refrain. the world being what it is at
the present moment-well, which be-
speaks eentleness, let us say.
1t is true that a wood thrush will
spear an insect and consume it as
quickly as any bird. Still. the gentle
ness of the eye is still there, and it is
not a fake
1t means that the bird is milder in
its manners, much less likely to fly away
than most birds
A thrust permitted us to come within
two feet of it the other day.
Even then 1t was not alarmed, but
looked around in its mild way, as If
saying Il am not in the least afraid
of you, but must fy away now Good
BY"
When we stop to sum up the good
qualities of this thrush, we see that we
have here one of the very finest, If not
the very finest, of all birds
1t is, OF course, as readers here know,
our perennial selection for first in the
bird world. But we would not thrust
it upon others. All Of the birds are fine,
and fine citizens of a free world, which
some day will be as free for human
beings as for the songsters When that
day arrives. the good word humanity
will really mean something.

laid out, mentioned "a church for
national purposes" as feature of
their plan for the Federal City. Such
a place OF worship, obviously, should
be an architectural monument
worthy OF the Nation. The spon-
sors of the development on Mount
Saint Alban have labored toward
the end that 1t shall be glorious in
artistry. It Is circumstance worthy
of notice at the moment that the
Rust family has aided them distinc-

In the Ruhr Valley

From the Manchester Guardian.
1t does not need much imagination to
translate the raids into human terms.
Every night that we raid the Ruhr the
population of wide area goes to earth.
puts it: "One lives from night to night;
one makes no elaborate plans for to-
morrow or the day after; one lives, SO
to speak, retrospectively, saying in the
morning that things have once more
gone well. The nucleus of existence is
the night. and it is pathetic to see-and
not appreciated enough-how composed
peoples faces are as they sit on the
narrow bunker benches, heads drawn in
a bit, children gathered around them,
and their most essential belongings
and how few they are-at hand" The
raids dominate the German mind, in
Western Germany at least. We used to
speak of our own raided cities as being
in the front line" 1t is many times
truer OF the towns OF the Rhine and
Ruhr, which are being struck with a de-
structive intensity we never knew The
local newspapers are closely censored,
but everywhere we can see traces of the
vast upheaval Children, for instance,
are going from Dortmund to Hungary.
But no general evacuation is permitted.
AS the National Zeitung explained to the
people of Oberhausen: "Only people with
no occupation may leave the town. The
labor situation demands the employment
of all persons capable OF working and.
their leaving would make matters very
much worse. Even applications of girls
and boys serving an apprenticeship can
not be granted"

to litigate for the sake of litigation, put
simply because effective enforcement
requires that numerous and spreading
violations be stopped Immediately Once
violations start In the price or rationing
field, compliance can deteriorate rapidly.
Congress intended that the OPA en-
forcement staff should be empowered to
act quickly, to the extent of enjoinlng
violations, without the burden of proving
the very difficult factual issue of willful-
ness or bad faith. This provision of law
is common to Federal regulatory legisla-
ton. The alternative, for all practical
purposes, would be a second investlga-
ton In each case and the establishment
by legal proof of two violations.

Dear Sir

of mine, and was disappointed this
spring not to have pair come to the

listening for their peculiar song, but
never heard 1t.
Then not long ago a pair came to
the neighborhood Where have they been
all the time. and isn't it rather late for
them to show up? They have Stunned

they are some place across the street.

mean hear him.
This song OF the wren is to me
among natures most beautiful music. l
know that some people find it harsh
and shrill, but to my ears 1t is f1ne
music I am so glad that I can find
beauty in all. the bird songs. / quite
agree with you that the crow is mu-
sician, too.
Sincerely, d. K. G."
Our correspondents wrens have de-
serted their first nest, for some reason
or other, and are starting a new one in
a new location.
Wrens come to Washington and vi
cinity in April. Usually nest Is begun
shortly after arrival.
A second nesting Is made about this
time. Too many cats In a neighborhood
will cause wrens to make the second nest
in another locality.
Another reason may be srackles. These
large birds are killers Of young birds.
The wrens, being as wise as they are
small select another site.
Often a disagreement between the
wrens will lead to a nest in another
versally called. often disagrees with the
selection of the site by Johnny, as her
mate is sometimes called
She Is rather waspish about it. To a
human observer there seems to be no
possible kick" about the site as chosen
by the male But Jenny is more likely
to disagree than not. Often she will
toss out the small sticks gathered by
Johnny, and do the whole job over to
suit herself. Or more often she will in
dignantly reject the entire site, and fly
away to find one for herself.
Wrens are very temperamental about
houses put up for them.
While they will nest almost any place,
even in the sleeve of a coat left hanging
on a porch, they may or may not settle
down in the birdhouse 50 trustingly
placed for them.
Some persons believe that the color
of the house has something to do with 1t.
They assert with some reason, it
would seem, that house painted green
is sure to attract them.
We believe that either green or dark
brown is the best bet, when it comes
to wren houses.
The brilliant red houses. 20 often
seen are good for ornament only.
