Letters to the Editor
Ticket Of Byrd and Farley

Ticket Of Byrd and Farley
Proposed to Keep Democrats In Power.
To the Editor of The STAR
I desire to perpetuate the Democratic
party as the majority party in the COM
ing presidential election, but I do not
desire to perpetuate the New Deal.
Therefore, propose the names OF
Senator Byrd OF Virginia for President
and James A. Farley of New York for
Vice President. am determined for
my part that Senator Harry Byrd OF
Virginia shall be President and the emf
nent Mr. Farley Vice President. From
the point Of temperament and the atmo-
sphere of the times, these two men are
more than capable to fill these respective
posts in our Government
Every one knows how Senator Byrd
stands on primary and fundamental
principles. He opposes waste and cor
ruption in government and he stands
firmly against the communist aspect OF
certain incidents which have happened
during Roosevelts administration.
Any wide-awake American knows
where Senator Byrd stands and what he
believes He comes from family which
has rich political and military back
ground. There is no question about his
qualification for our highest political
office.
Byrd and Farley must be the Demo-
cratic party's candidates, or 1t can never
hope to remain in power.
PETER A. STERLING.

Margaret Brent

Travellers in the vicinity Of Wash
ington often encounter the name of
Margaret Brent, but even among
professional historians little Is
known about her The Dictionary
OF American History says that she
was zone of the first American fem
inists" and the Dictionary of Amer
lean Biography makes a similar
claim in her behalf. But it would
be mistake to suppose that she is
worthy of remembrance simply as
an agitator for "woman's rights"
Her distinction in that regard has
been exaggerated. 1t is true that
she requested "voyce and vote also"
in the Maryland Colonial Assembly,
but her appeal for citizenship in the
full meaning OF the word was not
the only reason why she was cele-
brated in her own time.
Mistress Brent was born in Eng
land about 1900. She came to st.
Marys with her sister Mary and her
brothers Giles and Fulke in Novem-
ber, 1898. Blood relationships or
political affiliations secured" to the
family unusual favors in large
grants and high Offices" Margaret
was commended to Governor Leon
ard Calvert by Lord Baltimore. On
October 4, 1889, she obtained
patent for seventy acres which she
called Sisters Freehold. Thus she
was "the first woman Of Maryland
to hold land in her own right" 1t
was in behalf of her property that
she sought the franchise. Calvert in
1647 made her his sole executrix in
an oral will that tersely instructed
her to take all and pay ALL and
the Maryland Council made her ad-
ministratrix of Lord Baltimore's rev.
enues." When Governor Thomas
Greene refused her petition for
formal recognition as proprietor
and when some question was raised
about paying hired soldiers engaged
to defend Lord Baltimore'S estates,
she moved with an allegedly numer-
Gus company of adherents to North
cumberland (Westmoreland) County,
Virginia.
Her new establishment was on
Aqua Greek and was designated
Peace" With vast property in both
Colonies, as lady of the manor she
held court leets annually with
feosts and frolics for her people" A
tradition of "queenly dignity, keen
intelligence, ready sympathy and
great womanly charm" still persists
concerning her. "She was one Of the
most remarkable women" Of the sew
enteenth century. In Maryland rec
ords she appears as Margaret Brent,
Gentleman paradoxical tribute
to her courage, determination and
practical efficiency.

from the Dodge City Globe.
The ambitions of the CIO seem to be
proof against the disrepute the organi-
zation has with most of the people. The
C1O goes merrily on trying to organize
workers which never have been unionized
and no excuse is offered for this ex-
pansion other than to enlarge the ranks
OF the CIO. Perhaps the CIO leader
ship does not realize the thin ice it is
treading It's record of strikes in war
industry has not helped it. While the
Federation Of Labor has no unsullied
record in this respect, most of the union
trouble has been with CIO affiliates.
Public opinion at least blames most
of these defections on the GIG.
The CLOS latest ambition is to or
ganize Red Cross workers. When the
attempt began the Red Cross quickly
repudlated any tacit cooperation in
this unionization. The Red Cross has
a reputation for humanitarianism that
knows no racial or political line. Be-
cause 1t Is unhampered by the discrim-
1natory policies that mark many other
organizations, the Red Cross has been
able to keep its objective. 1t has steered
clear OF the animosities which have COM
plicated this Nations war effort. It has
been able to stay out Of the backwash
OF the hundreds of quarrels which SELF
serving men and women always arouse.
The CIO is overriding 1t when 1t tries
to put its label on the Red Cross. The
Red Cross is doing too fine a job Of
mercy to become embroiled in the child
ish quarrels Of organized labor that
seems yet far short Of maturity.

and Athens, the classic city was
unlucky. It was wrecked by the
Punic general Himilco; rebuilt and
occupied by the Campanian merce-
naries of Agathocles, who were allies
of Rome. Hero II reduced the COM
munity, Hannibal seized its castle,
Appius Claudius came to its relief.
Later the Emperor Augustus favored
MeSSina and it prospered under his
smile. The Saracens, the Normans,
Richard Occur de Lion, Charles of
Anjou, the Emperor Charles v and
gallant Don John of Austria came
and went and left their legends. A
bitter, senseless class conflict be-
tween the Merli aristocrats and the
Malvizzi democrats brought ruin to
hundreds of families between 1872
and 1878. Louis XIV of France sent
an army and a fleet to help the
Senate, but the expedition failed
despite a famous naval victory
achieved by Duquesne over the
Spanish and Dutch under De Ruyter.
Plague in 1740 killed forty thousand
people, an earthquake in 1888 over
threw almost the whole town, severe
revolutionary bombardment in 1848
likewise caused great damage,
cholera in 1854 carried off no fewer
than sixteen thousand victims, an
other earthquake in 1894 cost mil
lions in property damage, as we'll as
pathetic loss of life. Messina was
just beginning to recover from these
and other tragedies when it was
utterly destroyed by the terrible
disaster of 1908 The earthquake
early on the morning of December %
not only ruined the entire city, but
caused the shore to sink over two
feet. This subsidence created a
violent tidal wave which swept the
coast of Calabria. A series of lesser
shocks continued daily for months.
OF the one hundred thousand cas-
ualties, eighty-four thousand were
counted in the town proper and its
immediate environs. Twenty years
after the catastrophe the survivors
still were living in shacks among
the wreckage. When the liberating
troops of the United Nations march
through the Torrente Portalegni and
the Torrente Bocetta they will see
why the population is fatalistic.

MESSING

Misfortune is habit in the third
largest city of the Island of Fire.
Donald Ordway explains: Founded
by pirates in 1872 Be, Messina has
been destroyed by man and the gods
with monotonous regularity" The
Greeks called the place zancle in
reference to the sickle-shaped penin-
sula inclosing one of the finest har-
bors in Europe. Remains of settle
ments Of the Siculi, the Cumaeans
and the Chalcidians have been found
In the neighborhood, testifying to
the antiquity Of its original COLOMBIA

by Anaxilas, tyrant OF Rhegium, who

and small red spot on the head.
Many attempts have been made to In
troduce this species into America, be-
ginning In 1872. to Cincinnati, where 1t
was brought by German immigrants.
They were later introduced in New
Jersey, Massachusetts, and Cuba, but
probably none Of them Is now alive, after
having done very well for a time.
The songs Of both are very canary like,
pleasant to musically trained and un-
trained listeners. In appearance 1t
pleases practically every one.
Experts tell us that we probably never
shall have the opportunity Of watching
and listening to the European finch,
since it does not seem to be able to
compete on even terms In this country.
Our American goldfnch Is very fond
OF chickweed. Nothing is prettier than
a flock of these birds perched on the
very tips Of some slender plant, waving
up and down with the movement of the
branches. They are best watched in
autumn and winter time.
Dandelion seeds are another favorite
food OF this favorite bird. Weed seeds
OF all kinds, plus the seeds of the birch,
afford them sustenance in winter.
In hot weather it still eats huge guam
titles Of weed seeds. but varies its diet
with insects, including plant lice, the
bane Of gardeners; grasshoppers, beetles
and cankerworms.
Ornithologists tell of finding more
than go thistle seeds on the ground
where q goldfinch had been eating.
What interested them most was the
fact that each tiny seed had been slit
and the meat removed. At first sight
each seed seemed perfect.
Goldfinches are so light that some
times it requires more than one Of them
to bend very slender branch to the
ground. When this happens, they go
right on eating, sometimes with their
heads touching the earth
Ragweed is another plant these birds
favor.
The goldfnch is a bird which extends
across the land.
The California version is slightly
larger and paler than our own
Wherever you find 1t, the goldhnch
seems to be very cheerful. really de-
serving this descriptive more than the
cheerful chickadee"
There is some question as to the height
wren boxes should be placed.
Our correspondent says 10 feet, on
poles, but wrens often select a position
from 4 to 5 feet from the ground, pref
erably in shrubs
The Audubon Guide to Attracting
Birds" gives the height of the hole
above the floor as 5 to inches
An inch from the floor scarcely would
give any depth for the nest, which would
almost block the entrance.

"The wild turkey is considerably
smaller than the domesticated one, but
the latter had the wild nature in them,
too, and would fly from the barnyard to
hide their nests in the spring.
after finding the nests, we took
out all the eggs except one or two, which
had to be done with 1ong-handled
dipper or spoon. If the hands touched
the eggs, or nest, the turkey would quit
laying there.
"The eggs are somewhat larger than
duck eggs and look as If they were
sprinkled with ground nutmeg. These
eggs we placed under chicken to hatch
and be domesticated thereby.
Nov, in our vegetable garden there
were the beautiful wrens with their wild,
melodious singing, corresponding to the
seventh position on violin.
II always made their bird boxes out Of
old weather-worn wood, 8 inches square,
with a fiat roof on which the male wren
could land with dried grass or other
material and deposit 1t for his mate, who
in turn picked it up and took it inside
through the Y of -an-inch hole which
gave the wren protection from the SPAR
rows, which could not enter through
that size hole.
1.-THE hole should never be over an
inch from the bottom, so as to make it
easier for the mother wren to shove out
the young when they are old enough
to fly.
"The boxes should be on poles 10 feet
high.
There were some interesting birds in
the garden called salad birds-looked
like canary bird, with yellow breasts,
etc. They would perch on hollyhock
stalks to feed on flies and beetles.
And the catbirds in the lilac and
currant bushes were easily recognized by
their mewing like cat.
