 Paced by McDaniels, the Moose gave the league-leading Cheecha- kos run for their money in the opener. The contest was pretty much nip and tuck all the way, but both outfits really opened up in the last quarter and the score was tied four times-from 31-all up to 38-38 Schork and Hill came through in the closing minutes with one each to win the game. but the contest was really won on foul shots.
 The Moose outshot the Chee- chakos on the floor, swishing IS field goals to their opponents Is, but the victots made 10 foul shots good, while the Moose only col lected two good ones. McDaniels made Is points, sinking an even half of the losers field goals.
 Schork Gets 16 1. sSchork came through with Is points for the winners, and Smith was right in there with 12 points smith and Vacura were sent off the floor near the end of the game when they became a little overheated, but things were smoothed off under the hot showers.

 Johnny Bavard hit the bucket from all positions, ringing up eight clean field goals for l6 counters, while Pasquan came through for eight points. Kraus was high for the Wages with eight points.
 Juneau led by a small margin for the better part of the game, but the Wages were handicaped with the loss of lanky Norris, their cap- tain and center who went out carly with a twisted knee.

 GET INSTRUCTIONS
 FOR SUNDAY MEET

Junior skiers are asked to meet between 10 and Il am tomorrow, Sunday, at the slalom course Of the Douglas ski trail, when con- tinued instruction in skiing will be given and all newcomers will be started out, Joe Werner, instructor, promises.
 The trip originally planned to the upper cabin has been called off because of wind cracks in that vicinity. However, conditions at the lower slalom course are report ed pretty good.
 Skiers are asked to walk up as the trail is quite hard, and Instruc- tor Werner asks that the boys be sure to wear plenty of clothes to insure their being warm enough in the snappy cold.
 About Is boys turned out for skiing last week, and more are ex- pected for tomorrow's training program.

Literal vs.. Liberal

The rule on prioritles Is one of
those things that is supposed to be
aWfully simple but may turn out to
be simply awful. Briefly, II the ma
terials are needed for war use, the
rating is high il for civilian con-
sumption, it is low. II intended for
both at the same time, anything can
happen, according to whether the
Interpretation is literal or liberal.
For the acme Of the literal, consider
what occurred last December in the
case Of manufacturer who applied
for hundred leather conveyor
belt. Upon learning that his work
was so per cent war and 40 per cent
peace, the WPB issued him belt
IN the solar pleXuS-by gravely
granting him permission to purchase
a SiXtyfoot belt. The manufacturer
gravely conveyed his respects to the
WPB-all the conveying he was able
to dO-and made an old complaint
with new twist. He wanted to know
how he could make both ends meet.
Before this idea spreads too far, 1t
is hoped that WPB will be liberal.
TypeWriters, for instance, are COM
monty used for both war and nom
war purposes but e-ffths of a
typewriter would help neither.

famous word, "globaloney' could not

empllfled than it was by the ideas ex-
pressed by the three speakers on the

other on the back for the fine CD work
they were doing.
What is the matter with officials OF
our Government; yes, even our Presi-
dent in the handling of labor? LOOKS
very much to us folks on the sidelnes
like nothing but actual fear of labor In
fact. it is this very attitude on the part
of our President In the past year which
has turned me absolutely against MIN.

Toll Bridges Urged Freed
OF Charges to War Workers.

To the Editor OF The Star.
DISTINCTIONS which interfere with the
transportation of war workers to their
respective places of employment in the
war plant centers OF the country should
be removed
In any number of these war centers
there are toll bridges over which no one
can drive an automobile or bus without
paving toll to the States connected by
these bridges
In some cases, tolls are as high as 81
per trip. To war workers who must use
bridges to reach wartime employment,
81 day Is an excessive price to pay.
Nowadays they must pay it. or else arise
at an ungodly hour in the morning after
hard days work and travel anywhere
from 20 to 30 miles out OF the way,
around rivers end, to reach their des-
tinations It is an additional wearisome
ride homeTard, after a hard day at the
factory or shop.
In few DAYS legislation for the elm
nation Of tolls on the Candy Bridge
between st. Petersburg and Tampa, Fla,
will be introduced by Senator Pepper and
Congressman Peterson. Every considera-
ton should be given this, the forerunner
Of similar legislation for other States

The Protection Remains

Inc proposed amendment to exist
ing law favOrably reported last week
from the House District Committee,
permitting women in the District to
work in excess Of eight hours a day
or tyeight hours a week, is purely
war measure and seems to con-
tain adequate protection against
abuses. Before an employer can take
advantage Of it he must show to the
satisfaction Of the Minimum Wage
and Industrial Safety Board that the
work to be done is essential to the
war effort. Upon such showing,
which undoubtedly would involve
proof that the longer hours are not
injurious, temporary permit would
be issued by the board.
There has been no widespread de-
mand for the amendment, but it Is
represented as of great Importance
TO few particular industries, where
women are replacing men and where,
tor one reason or another, q longer
work day or work week is now neces-
sary. Some of the comparable pro-
posals, made in the States, for lower
ing protective standards lack the
safeguards contained in the District
amendment.
The amendment passed the House
and Senate in the last session. but
was recalled in the Senate and. Oh
objection, went over The nature of
the objection was never made clear.
The amendment is important to a
few now, and may be very important
later on, If it is lacking in any rea-
sonable protective features. these
should be supplied, The amendment
should not be subject to defeat on a
single objection and should be dis
posed of on its merits

Lord BuIfour's Prophecy

A remarkably prophetic essay by
Arthur James Balfour, written in
June, 1912, makes timely reading to-
day. For it pointed very clearly to
the nature of the seed, then being
cultivated in Germany, which were
to ripen two years later in World
War I: the same seed from which
we are harvesting a second growth
now in World War H.
Lord Balfour contributed this es-
say on anglo German Relations" to
a German periodical, at the request
Of its editors. Friendly in tone, he
wrote as an EngliShman acknowledge
ing the worlds debt to Germany for
her contributions to civilization in
the fields of music, the sciences and
philosophy, But he wrote, also, as an
EngliShman who regarded with deep
apprehension the development in
Germany Of two policies. Either
one. taken alone, might have been
treated distinctly as a German af-
fair. CO-eXistent and interdepend-
ent, they constituted a threat to
England and to the peace of the
world One was the development of
that marvellous instrument Of war
fare" the German Army and Navy,
far in excess of any defensive needs
The other was the "assiduouS-I had
almost said Observation-Disclosures" of
a policy which, to its adherents,
made German development synony-
nous with German territorial ex-
pansiOn and which saw in war the
fitting and ideal method" by
which this development was to be
accomplished,
It was no part Of his business to
criticize such theories. Lord Balfour
wrote But do not let them Cthe
Germans ask EngliShmen to APP
prove Englishmcn were too surely
convinced Of the perilS implicit in
such policies to approve them. AS
this lack Of approval conveyed, to
many Germans, the idea that Eng
land stood in the way, the accept
ance Of that idea was in itself
enough to make war between Eng
land and Germany inevitable
In this generation we have seen
these policies, which BaIfour de-
scribed, personified in Hitler; while
the determination Of the Allied ma
tons to destroy Hitlerism Symbolizes
their intent to destroy these policies.
With that accomplished, it may be
possible to teach Germany what
Ballour valnly had hoped, in 1912,
that Germany still might teach the
rest Of the WOrld-"' - that or
ganized military power may be used
in the interests of peace as effec-
tually as in those Of war; that the
appetite for dc nination belongs to

been few cases, but not many. Mostly
We may feel sure that any bird in winter
which We want to call catoird is a
mockingbird
There Is not much excuse either for
confusing the brown thrasher with the
wood thrush, but it is often done, With
the best will In the world.
The wood thrush Is Tn to BIZ inches
long, whereas the brown thrasher meas
ures 10 to Il inches In length, that Is
from the end Of the bill to the tip OF
the tail. as the bird might be stretched
out.
The brown thrssher Is often errone-
ously called the big thrush He has .
long tail and bill, and is reddish brown
The wood thrush, due here about April
rs, is brown, but rot so reddish brown.
1t has black spots on a white or gray
white breast. whereas the spots OF the
brown thrasher are more streaks, and
cover the breast and stomach.
The cardinal, or redbird, is often con-
fused with the scarlet tanager, or vice
versa, but the cardinal is here the year
around, whereas the tanager is seen only
In summer.
The male cardinal is red all over, with
black around the face and fine crest.
1t is from IL to inches long.
The tanager is smaller, being Ga to IL
inches long. The male tanager has
black wings and tail colors which no
respectable red bird ever wears. 1t has
no crest.
The red color Of the scarlet tanager
Is utterly unlike the red OF the cardinal.
It has bright electric something which
attracts instant attention in some tree
top, where it usually shows itself
The female cardinal is a combined
green brown and cerise bird, all very
delicately achieved, while the female
scarlet tanager Is q plain olive colored
bird.
Many observers. even experienced ones,
confuse the song sparrow and the white
throated sparrow.
The song sparrow remains here the
year around, whereas the vhite-throated
sparrow comes in the fall and leaves
about the first Of May.
The song sparrow Is the smallest, rang
ing from to 554 inches long, with
striped back and stomach.
The vhite-t hroated sparrow is 6la
inches long, and has plain gray stom-
ach, and brown and white stripes on
the head, with a bit Of yellow, and, OF
course, the more or less white throat
Identification Of the sparrows requires
close application. Even the experts be-
come confused when it comes to them
The female purple finch is a very spar
rowy looking bird, and so is the male
the first year.
A little time put upon prior considera-
ton OF these pairs Of birds will save
much confusion, both in thought and
talk, and add immensely to the satisfac-
ton OF helping the birds during these
years when We need their help more
than ever before.

tlonal farm machinery for those
workers who have gone and who
cannot be replaced.
The Star Journal, while not con-
timing its comment to milk produc-
ton alone, was in emphatic disagree
ment on the matter of higher prices,
but saw eye to eye with Mr.. Holman
on the need for more farm machin-
cry. The answer to the food prob
lem, contrary to the political medi-
cine makers Of the farm bloc, is not
higher prices for farm products
the newspaper declared. 1T is
either more labor, or, In lieu of 1t,
abor-saving machinery"
Thus, so far as these spokeSmen-
and most OtherS-are concerned, the
higher price issue remains a moot
question. But there is substantial
agreement on the pressing need for
more farm machinery to compensate
for the loss of manpOWer. Here is
one of the factors contributing to a
food shortage that can be dealt with
by the Government, and. while it
may be too late now to provide the
additional machinery needed this
year, there is every reason to sup
pose that 1914 will bring even greater
demands on our food supply without
any corresponding Improvement in
the farm labor picture Hence, the
greater the Importance OF more
machinery.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles L. TrGcetreu.

Confusing one species with another
is popular sideline in the combined
INDOOR outdoor sport Of helping conserve
Americas birds so that they NAV help
in their turn, Americas farmers and
gardeners.
Beginners, especially, confuse the blue
bird with the blue jay, the titmouse with
the chickadee, the mockingbrd with the
catbird, the brown thrasher with the
wood thrush. the cardinal with the
tanager, and the song sparrow with the
white-throated sparrow.
A little thought in advance will save
most OF this perplexity, because there is
only r superficial resemblance between
any OF the members Of these pairs.
Let lis consider the popular confusion
between the bluebird and the blue jay
Some one is always popping up with,
"Oh, you should see the bluebirds have!
What a squavk they make"
The gentle bluebird would rather
shrink at that. It never "squawks," but
has a beautiful soft MARBLE in the spring.
When you start to inquire, you find
out that your friend is talking about the
blue jay, bird of another blue entirely.
In the first place, the bluebird is much
smaller, running from s to III inches
long, as compared with the blue jays
IL to 1917 inches.
The bluebird is real sky blue, With
reddish breast, whereas the jay is a
bold blue and gray, with white on the
tail and wings.
In habits, the two birds are totally
different. Only a few bluebrds remain
in Washington and vicinity during the
winter mostly in Wesley Heights and a
belt to the east.
The blue jay, on the other wing, Is
found the year around throughout the
city and especially in suburban Wash
ington and nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
The titmouse and the chickadee really
do not look very much alike, but this is
another popular confusion.
The titmouse Is 51z inches long some
times as much as inches. The chickadee
is smaller ranging from ~. inches to
So inches.
The titmouse has fine black crest,
with a bit of orange coloring beneath
the wings, whereas the chickadee has
black cap, and Is very cute" accord
ing to the opinion Of most beholders.
The mockingbird and catbird confuse
only those persons who have not stopped
TO examine them as to colorat1on and
habits.
The mocker is much the larger, rang
ing from to II inches in length.
The catbird is mere to 81 inches.
While both are gray birds. the hooking
bird shows white under tail and wings
when 1t flies, a sure sign.
The catbird is much more strea MINED,
with fine black cap and no white.
Moreover, no one will ever see cat
bird around here in winter. What
neyer7 Well, hardly ever. There have

Mr.. WuIluce's Feurs

Vice President Walace'S assertion
that a third world war will be prob
able If the United States should
"dOuble-croSS Russia is indicative of
g rather curious line of thinking on
his part. And it is a state of mind
which takes on added Importance in
the light Of Ambassador Standley's
observation that the Russian people
are not being told by their own gov
eminent Of the extent of American
aid to the SoViets.
Presumably, MI. Wallace would not
have discussed the consequences of
dOuble-CrOSSing Russia unless he be-
lieVed there was some danger in this
respect. Unfortunately. however. he
did not make clear the basis for his
apprehension.
To most Americans the suggestion
that the United States may double
cross Russia will be rather repugnant.
It is not IN keeping with our national
character, and it does not seem to
be in line with the known facts Of
our relations with the Soviet govern
ment. The overwhelming majority
of the American people understand
the great contribution that Russia
has made to the common war effort,
are grateful for it, and are deter
mined to give the Russians every
possible assistance. They also appre-
cjate as well as Mr., Wallace, the i'm
portanCe Of coming to an under
standing with Russia on the ques-
tons that will arise after the war,
and there has been no slightest in
diCation that the American people
lean toward a postwar policy that
would be prejudicial to any legitimate
Soviet aspiration
BY and large, the people Of this
country subscribe to the principles
of the Atlantic Charter. Certainly
they seek no postwar advantage at
Russia's expense. No doubt there are
some who experience certain sense
Of misgiving as Russia marks out her
claims on Poland, on the Baltic states
and on Bessarabia. Others are not
quite reconciled to the Russian gov
ernment's attitude of indifference to
the military aid which we have been
giving the Red Army. 1t is true that
the measure of this aid is small as
compared to the effort that Russia
herself has made, but the American
people know that it has not been
inconsequential and they also know
that the struggle to get this war
material across the Atlantic has been
hard and bitter. Perhaps there are
still others who are not quite as
ready as Mr. Wallace to believe that
the Russians have permanently
abandoned what the Vice President
called "the Trotskyist idea Of
fomenting world wide revolution"
but 1t is difficult to believe that even
the hardest of these skeptics con-
templates taking the initiative in any
course that would be inimical to
Russia. Certainly the Vice President
IN discussing the consequences Of
an American double-cross. cited no
evidence to support such an assump-
ton, and If he has any tangible
reasons to believe that such a be-
travail of our ally is in prospect he
ought to set them forth in the
plainest language.

Food SHORTAGE Factors

Elsewhere on this page there is
reprinted an editorial from the Min
neapolis Star Journal, published in
the heart Of the farming country,
which contains some pertinent OBJ
servatiOns on the factors underlying
our impending food shortage. It IS
particularly interesting to note
wherein the Star Journals COM
ments parallel and depart from the
explanations advanced by Charles
W, Holman for the threatened slump
In milk production
Mr.. Holman. as secretary Of the
National Cooperative MIX Pro-
duCers' Association, commands at
tention when he predicts that under
prevailing conditions our l943 milk
production, instead Of exceeding that
If 1912 by the 30OO,000.000 pounds
proposed by Secretary Of Agriculture
WICkard, is apt to fall several bill
lion pounds below last years out
put. When this threatened decline
in production is joined to our en-
Iarged commitments (about 6.5 per
cent Of our total output under
leaSe-lend for this year, it is easy to
believe that Mr.. Holman is on the
conservative side when he says that
the entire Eastern area Of the United
States soon will be on a deficit
basis" with regard to milk supply
