Casualties at Home

Owen L. Scott, writing in The Star
for Sunday last, pointed out that "the
Army is making its calculations on
the basis of about 100000 replace
ments a month, large proportion
occasioned by wounds and deaths in
battle" and Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox has told Congress that
the Navy is making its plans on the
basis of casualties reaching 10 per
cent of total forces"
What such losses mean in terms
of human life sacrificed for victory
is apparent to every American who
pauses to think of their connotati tions
But James S. Kemper, president of
the Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty
Company of Chicago, calls attention
to parallel risks and penalties in
civilian circles. Today" he says,
America is fighting two wars-one
against Axis forces on ar-1iung bat
tie fronts. another against automo-
bile accidents on the streets and
highways here at home"
During 1912, the same authority
explains, Automobile accidents took
27600 American lives. In addition,
there were over l,000, 900 non-fatal

WLB Steps Out

The decision by the War Labor
Board to take jurisdiction of any and
all labor disputes, no matter how
remote their relation to the conduct
of the war, may be questioned on the
ground that it is unwise, if not
entirely without legal sanction.
Although there have been those
who challenge the boards authority
In any kind of case, most of the
people have approved its interven-
ton in controversies having reason
able bearing on the conduct of the
war. 1t has been felt that this was
justified by necessity, whatever the
merits or otherwise of the legal ques-
tions involved.
But it is quite another matter when
the board proposes to take jurisdic-
tion in any dispute, no matter how
trivial or how far removed from the
prosecution of the war. Dean Wayne
L. Morse, speaking for the board,
says that dispute in hotel barber
shop involving the possibility of a
strike by the BARRIERS properly lies
within the scope of the boards juris-
diction. BY the same process of
reasoning, difference of opinion
between the proprietor of a cross
roads restaurant and his kitchen
help is matter to be settled by the
Government of the United States.
1t has been suggested that the
board is emphasizing this contention
to bolster its claim to Jurisdiction in
the bituminous coal case. But it
seems almost fantastic to say that,
so far as the conduct of the war is
concerned, soft coal strike and a
barber shop dispute are one and the
same in the eyes OF the Government.
The one is clearly related to the war
effort, and therefore is properly sub
ject to the boards authority. The
other just as plainly has no appre-
ciable relation to the war, and ought
not to be added to the long and grow
ing list of problems which some peo-
pie feel must be settled in Wash
ington.
There is also the question of the
boards ability, from an administra-
tive standpoint, to pass upon every
little labor dispute that crops up any
where in the country. Even now the
board is swamped with work. Deci-
sions in cases of real Importance are
painfully slow, and both labor and
management are protesting because
OF the excessive time involved in
getting a ruling from the board.
How. then, is the board to give any
real attention to the barber shop and
crossroads disputes? Is there not a
real danger that this already over
burdened agency is biting off a great
deal more than it can chew?

excuse for exceeding the price ceiling.
Flaunting the rules with full knowledge
of the regulation is certainly not in
nocent"
1t certainly is not an innocent viola
ton if OPA is forced to bring the Of
fender to court in order to effect an
adjustment. Not obeying the law is a
violation whether done Intentionally or
otherwise The damage to an individual
may be slight, however, and it is within
the power of the court to temper justice
with mercy.
When Congress passed the Price Con-
troll Act it intended to prevent imitation
and to protect the people of this coun-
try from the destructive effects of that
economic phenomenon. The American
people look to the courts not only for
enforcement of the laws but also for
justice-and depend on the courts for
the protection of their rights under the
laws and the Constitution. The great
majority of Americans whose safety is
jeopardized by the innocent violator"
Of price ceiling are entitled to the
protection of the courts, unless it is in

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdce1ueH.

letting each work out its own destiny
in conformity with natural laws, free
from any human interference"
A hawk may be baited by pigeon,
placed in a pen with comparatively high
sides.
When the hawk strikes its prey, it
cannot get out quickly, because its
wing spread is too large
Even our smallest hawks have very
large wing spreads.
Some of the larger ones have wing
spread of almost feet.
In an inclosure, hawk with prey does
not have enough take off,
This is tremendous handicap.
1t was this lack of good take off"
that prevented the very large hawk from
flying away with the pigeon in our own
yard.
He had about 20 feet to the fence, but
this was not enough; he had fence
Sc inches high to get over, and in the
20 feet he did not clear the fence.
Striking the fence, he dropped the
prey.
Capturing a hawk alive is not easy,
and no one should untertake it without
first consulting such books as the Public
Library may have on falconry and hawk
ing as modern sport.
The feeding of such pets is difficult.
Chicken livers and hearts are good for
sparrow hawks, but such food is almost
unobtainable now.
Not only the COST but process of feed
ing hawks is one which seems cruel,
since small birds are often used.
X 4 X
Many years ago woman called to
protest some boys in her neighborhood
who were catching English sparrows and
feeding them to hawk.
The broad-winged hawk eats many
insects snakes and frogs.
The red-shouldered hawk consumes
insects, rats, mice, frogs, snakes and
rats, mice, insects, small birds, poul-
try, etc.
The rough-legged hawk likes mice and
rats, rabbits a-ie a lew birds.
The sparrc hawk is really a grass
hopper ha" 4, eating large quantities of
7 hem . ong with rats and mice. 1t sell
tnm Us sparrows.
I"oper's hawk takes many small birds,
with rats, mice, poultry and game birds
This is one of the worst despoilers of
songbirds.
The sharp-shinned hawk eats more
songbirds than any other hawk about
80 per cent of its diet consisting of
them.
The marsh hawk takes a large
! quantity, about 40 per cent, of birds
| in it's diet. CWe are indebted to the
book named above for these figures)
The sparrow hawk makes most
interesting and beautiful pet, and is tht
most easily fed. But any meat-eatine
pet is a liability from now on, owing
| to rationing.
