AIfred's Witun'

More than a thousand years sepa-
rate living men and women from
Alfred the Great, King of the West
SaXons from 871 to 901, yet to him
all the benefciaries of representative
government throughout the English
speaking world largely are indebted
for their liberties. He was one of the
very greatest princes who ever has
lived, and the influence of his genius
moves down the ages like an electric
current, its force still unspent. The
narrative of his career may be read
in any convenient encyclopedia
Alfred first delivered his country
from the pagan Danish invaders. BY
him western Europe was saved from
the danger of becoming a heathen
Scandinavian power" His achieve
ment was carried to fulfillment in
part by a navy whose ships he per-
sonally designed. When peace had
been restored, he applied his talents
to the rebuilding of ruined cities and
towns. After the model of Charlie
magne, he established a college of a
sort in his own residence, and both
studied and taught in 1t. Tradition
tells that he translated the writings
Of Saint Gregory, Boethius, Orosius

A Strain on Honor

Price Administrator Prentiss
Brown seems to have reached the
disillusioning conclusion, shared bv
any fair-minded observer, that YOU
cannot mix the "honor system with
ratloned gasoline. In abolishing the
strict system of enforcing the pleas
ure-drlVlng ban, adopted by Leon
Henderson,, Mr.. Brown thought that
he could. Holders of "a" cards were
TO be allowed to use their scant al
loWances as they chose, but those
who had supplementary allowances
were to let their conSciences be their
guide. The weakness of this hopeful
theory was Immediately reflected in
the sudden increase Of automobile
traffic not associated with essential
driving.
Now we are off on the other tack
again. Local police the Nation over.
with the help of OPA inspectors, are
TO check up on use of all "B" and &C"
card driving that suggests pleasure,
with strict attention paid to race
tracks and other purely recreational
areas. The penalties invoked are as
strict as those employed by Mr.. Hen
derson. But the method of enforce
ment is made more involved by rea-
son OF the relative liberty permitted
IN the use of a gallon and a half of
gasoline weekly, compared with the
stringent conditions imposed for US
ing what is left in the tank. The
driver bent on pleasure" might
maintain that the gas he is using
comes out of the A card allowance.
There are other obvious complica-
tlons, such as the pressure by the
once OF Defense Transportation to
see that automobiles are used as
much as possible to take the strain
of overcrowded public transporta-
ton and the case presented by Gov
ernor Harry F. Kelly of Michigan,
who maintains that some travel
restrictions must be lightened to en-
able weary war workers" to obtain
the occasional recreation of trip to
the country for swimming and fish
ing. Some recreation, of course. is
necessary, But how much, by whom
and when?
Everybody sympathizes with the
complex problem faced by the au-
thorltles in making a fair appor-
tionment of diminishing gasoline
among those who have to use it. The
middle course now adopted by Mr..
Brown, after an obvious failure of
the "honor SYSTEM" will hit the
fragrant violators, at least, and renew
attention to the absolute necessity
OF cutting nom essential use of auto
mobiles to the minimum. No system
will work perfectly, and if this latest
effort fails to halt the abuses, the
next step will be to return to the
point of view from which Mr.. Hen
derson started, eliminating all non
essential driving and restricting sale
of gasoline only to those who can
prove an essential need.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TrdceDell.

A cardinal which had been eating at
feeding station flew down the drive
way and attempted to turn the corner
sharply
There was still plenty of light, it be-
ing only o'clock by true, or "slow"
time, or old time, as some call it.
The bird did not make the turn sharp
ly enough, and almost collided with the
house.
Discovering its dilemma in a flash, it
banked its wings, and just made the
turn in time.
Several times during the past 10 years
we have had song birds fly into full
length screens.
This was fortunate, both for the birds
and the windows.
In all such cases, there were small
feeding stations at the dining room
windows
Hundreds of birds had visited these
stations, flying in but never hitting
house or windows.
Just what made the few whang into
PROBABLY they became confused, while in
flight, just as human beings might do
in running for bus.
Xxx X
The call of the Bob white is one of
the loudest, clearest, cheeriest sounds
in nature
We were fortunate several years ago.
at about s n'r1ncly in, tha
have Bob-White concert at close range
IT the bird had been a block away.
however, its notes would have sounded
almost as loudly.
1t was seated on a curved branch of
an old locust tree not 10 feet from the
window.
What beauty it was! This was the
pest view we have ever had of one of
these fine fellows.
He made his "Bob-whte" call repeat
edly and, despite its loudness, it was
not too loud at all, but just right. from
musical listening point.
1t was beautiful bird. about 10 inches
long, with plumage above a mixture of
chestnut, black and tan-taWny, mixed =.
With the beneath parts a mixture of
brown, with black marks.
The call is love song, in the spring.
The male selects the site of the nest,
and calls for female to share his lot.
II another male appears, instead, there
is fight at once.
The Bob-whlte, quail or partridge, as
you choose, builds his nest on the ground
Eggs may range in number from to %
according to one authority, and from II
to ID, according to another, so take
readers choice.
The male stops singing after mating
Persistent calls in summer are mostly
the notes of surplus males, the old bache-
lors of quaildom.

Quite Contrary

There is one sight in Washington
this summer that will be even more
beautiful than "the dewdrop cling
ing to the rose just newly born y
That would be a dewdrop or, better
still, a raindrop, clinging to cab
bage plant, potato vine, the blessed
bean, or even the shrubbery of a
lowly turnip. Upon due considera-
ton, it is to be hoped the Commis-
sioners will instruct their conscien-
tious patrolmen to be tolerantly
broad-minded in enforcing the regu-
lations against use of city
land between the sidewalk and build
ing line for anything except "the
sodding Of lawns, flowers and small
shrubs" In normal times there is a
place for such regulations But when
they prevent some resourceful home
owner-as they have done-from
utilizing a tiny spot for an expert
ment in miniature Victory garden
ing, then the time has come boldly
to cut red tape and to smash prece-
dent. Let the Commissioners reflect
upon the demands of lease-lend. Let
them consider the points consumed
by a can Of tomatoes. Let them re-
member the vitamins In a carrot.
Thinking on these things, can they
reach any decision but to let the
gardens grow. wherever they may be
found?

her, and she made her way to London
where, having married Lieutenant
Samuel Wylde Hardinge, U. S. NJ, she
sent to The Star an account of her
experiences which still is preserved
in the possession of a grandson of
Crosby Stuart Noyes, the editor to
whom it was addressed. Miss Boyd's S
literary style was as compelling as
her own personality. To say that she
wrote like a prairie fire" is to be
guilty of "a masterpiece of under
statement"

and won by fourth husband. Mean
while, she had some success as an
actress on the British stage and in

1t is not often that any one gets quail
simply by walking out on the driveway
and picking it up, but that was what
time at one household in Chevy Chase,
Md.
Seated at the table, the family sud-
denly heard heavy crash against the
side of the house. Visions of footballs,
baseballs, even Japs, came to mind. For
some reason, we are told, the idea of
assault by Germans did not occur.
Napkins in hand, the members of the
family poured through the door. AS far
as they could see, at first glance, moth
ing had happened at all.
There were no small boys, and no Japs.
Look" some one said, "a PARTRIDGE"
He was from the South, where the
Bobwhite is called PARTRIDGE" North
erners call him quail.
The bird has named itself, however,
to the satisfaction of all.
Bob white" he says.
There on the driveway, at the house
foundation, lay fine bird.
Evidently it had struck the side wall
But why?
No enemies were in sight. There was
no mark of shot on the bird.
drop of blood on it's beak, and one
on its breast, was all the damage that
showed. The blood probably had been
caused by the rupture of some internal
organ, on striking the house
There were no evidences of disease.
The chances were that the Bob-white
had either been pursued by hawk, or
had unwittingiy miscalculatcd in going
between houses.
A number of hawks have been seen in
the Chevy Chase and Bethesda sections
