which is favorite with ali friends of
this fine American.
There was no doubt that this then
was Lilly Belle, even if she had grown
remarkably, and resembled in no other
way the rather scrawny bird which took
of for the South so late.
Birds are always falling out of nests
July and August are the favorite
months, although many fall in June.
The kind-hearted person who finds
such youngster should look around for
the nest, first of ALL
1t is much better to put the baby back
in the nest, if it can be found, for nobody
else can take such good care of it as the
mother.
1t should be kept in mind that often
young robins hop for several blocks
away from the tree or shrub in which
their nest was located.
1t is impossible for the parents to get
them back into it. Sometimes Jaws feed
their fallen young until thev are able
TO ny. but this admirable trait is not
emulated by most of the other species.
Once a bird is out of the nest, it is
lost.
SO the human being who finds one
is doing good deed, if he or she takes
1t home and tries to feed it to the point
where it can fly.
Usually this seems an almost over
Whelming task to the newcomer. He
does not know how or what to feed it,
or how often.
Generally young bird unable to fiy
should be fed every hour or two hours
for the first few days, then every
four hours.
Feeding is not carried on at night
Water must be given with a medicine
dropper.
The best foods are scraped beef and
liver, now difficult, if not impossible. to
obtain; yolk of hard boiled egg small
sections of small earthworms, bread and
milk, preferably whole bread, and bits
Of raisin
The food is put on the end of a tooth
pick and pressed against the bill. After
the bird has eaten it's fill, no amount
OF pressure will cause it to swallow.
After few weeks the baby bird
should be coaxed to eat from the ground,
and allowed access to the lawn, where

and grit. all necessary in it's digestive
processes.
Teaching it to eat from the ground
is essential, SO that it may be put ION

Robin and blue jay babies are the
most likely to fall from the nest.
No attempt should be made to re-
member the particular voice of the bird
brought up at home. BY next year 1t
will have changed. Short of marking
IN some harmless manner, so that the
songster will not be caught in vine,
the best plan is to observe habits, and
look for them next spring.

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles E. Tyace,pell.
If you see a robin with bright red beak
and claws, do not think you are seeing

If you see a robin with bright red beak
and claws, do not think you are seeing
things"
1t will be a bird which an enter
prising lady over Northeast brought
up after 1t. had fallen out of its nest.
Wishing to be able to identify the
bird after it was released, she operated
upon beak and claws with some bright
nail lacquer.
Whether this will remain on the bird
remains to be seen, but so far, she says,
it is an unfailing Identification.
Certainly few robins are so Marked
fortunately for them. While we do not
think this would hurt the songster, we
feel that there might be some chance of
ultimate damage.
Surely it would hurt the robins feel
ings. No doubt the birds are proud of
themselves, just as they are, and want no
interference with natures coloration.
This might prove a serious thing to a
bird in nature, where camouf1age plays
large part in life. 1t also might attract
undue attention, not only from other
birds. but also from its own species.
Uniformity, within class, Is law of
nature. The creature which offends,
either deliberately or unconsciously, must
suffer for it,
Penguins, for instance, will peck to
death the an-white penguin which does
not. wear the typical black-and white
uniform of the penguin ranks.
Let us hope that next spring a robin
arrives in the Northeast section with
enough red nail enamel remaining to
identify it surely.
The only other way would be to band
it. This requires Government permis-
sion, none too easy to get, and the subse-
quent trapping of the songster, in order
to examine the band.
The best way, then, is to study the
adopted bird so closely that one is able
to identify it later, if it ever comes back
"for sure"
This study concerns not only the mark
1ngs, especially the unusual points, but
also the habits OF the bird.
since the bird brought up "by hand" in
the summer will have changed largely
over the winter.
Lilly Belle, the robin described here
last year, which fell out of a nest in
July, was released in August. She re-
malned around until late in October.
One of her consistent traits was hop
ping along certain branch of maple.
She hoped sideways, making certain
clucking noises as she went.
We had never seen or heard any other
robin do this, and felt sure that when
one arrived this year which did this it
would be Lilly.
Sure enough, after the robins came,
there was one very large one which flew
directly to the branch and sidled along it,
making the peculiar questioning note

The Water Cote Concerts

In winding up it's seventh season
OF sunset concerts at the Water Gate
this week, the National Symphony
Orchestra has demonstrated again
how firmly it has established itself
as definite and important part of
the community life of Washington
In several respects, the season now
drawing to a close has been unique.
Lacking convenient public and pri-
vate transportation, the audiences
walked. Lacking the shelter of wait
ing buses or automobiles, as in the
past, they gambled on getting wet
in summer storms or caught away
from home in threatened .air-raid
drills Zone of which materializeO-
and still they came. Their attend
ance to date has been, roughly, twice
that OF last year. Advance sales of
season tickets was thrice that of last
year. They set a new record when
$4,000 heard Paul Robson, topping
by about 1000 the previous high at
tendance attracted by Lily Pons and
Andre Kostelanetz last summer. In
their responsiveness and genuine ap-
probation, they have been magnifi-
cent audiences. And why not?
There is no more beautiful setting
for a concert than the Water Gate
at dusk, with the lights of Memorial
Bridge turning the river to simmer
ing gold, with Venus pinned low in the
western sky and the thunder of an oc-
casional plane leveling off for land
ing at the airport, furnishing ma
jestic obbligato for Wagner or Beetho-
ven. Perhaps the audiences have
grown because there are more people
in Washington. But it may be that
more, of them have come to see, and,
seeing, have come back with their
friends. Those familiar with such
things say that concert audiences all
over the country are growing in size,
drawn peri aps by the contrast be-
tween the sublime beauty of good
music and the stark horror of war.
Whatever the reasons, the people
again have shown their need and
real appreciation of the National
Symphony Orchestra. Each year finds
it more deserving of the support that
It asks and should receive from a
grateful public.

ANution-Wide Lobby

The labor lobby In washington IS
to be made national in scope.
The CIO, through President Phillip
Murray, has set up a committee to
stimulate its local and international
unions to talk to members of Con-
gress during the summer recess. The
announced purpose is to change "the
present antilabor Congress into a
prolabor, win-the-war Congress"
Special committees to work on men,
bers of the House and Senate are to
be set up in every district and State.
The call sent out for their creation
urges that representatives of the
American Federation of Labor, the
railroad brotherhoods and commu-
nifty organizations be included.
The threat contained in this lobby
program is scarcely veiled. There is
an election next year in which every
member of the House and one-third
of the Senate membership must
stand for reelection. These men,
bers OF Congress will be told, directly
or indirectly, that unless they mend
their ways-vote as organized labor
leaders desire them to vote-they
will be opposed by labor for renomi-
nation and reelection. They will be
asked to defeat the Hobbs anti
racketeering bill; to support sub
sides to roll back" retail prices; to
prevent taxation which will fall upon
labor; to extend social security and
to support the antipoll tax bill.
The passage of the antistrike law
over President Roosevelt's veto and
over the protests and dire threats of
labor organizations constitutes, for
the most part, the "antilabor" record
of the present Congress. The House
passed the Hobbs antiracketeering
bill by more than two thirds vote,
but 1t still awaits action in the Sen
ate. These are the things which
have given the leaders the idea that
something drastic must be done to
turn the tide.
Some members OF the House and
Senate already have been slated for
the ak because Of these votes. How
the rank and file of labor feel, only
their votes at the polls will show. It
is no secret that many members of
unions have no sympathy at all with
strikes in plants doing war work.
And in some instances they have ex-
pressed their approval of the final
enactment of the antistrike bill. The
majority Of men in labor organiza-
tions are, first of all, American citi-
zens sharing the sentiments which
move their fellow citizens. And like
wise, the great majority of the
members OF Congress are not pro
labor" or "antilabor." They are
Americans. voting for what they feel
to be the best interests Of the coun-
try. Their votes have not been

Treatment of japanese

The joint report of the War De-
partment and War Relocation Au-
thority on the operation of the West
Coast relocation centers for persons
OF japanese ancestry, which has Just
been issued by War Mobilization Di-
rector Byrnes, should serve two use
full purposes. 1t offers assurance
that the restrictions at the centers
are not to be relaxed, and it affords
a better opportunity to appraise the
efforts of the Government to deal
with problem that is bound to be
the subject OF confused public opin-
ion because of the charges of poor
administration made by critics, and
denied with equal vigor by relocation
officials
From this distance it is difficult to
weigh these conflicting claims and
reach a conclusion that is beyond
dispute, but it may be said that the
report indicates an effort has been
made to apply rule of reason" in
an admittedly difficult situation.
These internees-or evacuees-were
moved from their homes in a four
State area OF high military impor-
tance right after Pearl Harbor, as a
safety measure. There were no i'm
plications of individual disloyalty,
but, as Chief Justice Stone pointed
out in the Supreme Court decision
last month upholding the Western
Defense Command curfew, their
background of nationalistic loyalty
made all persons of japanese an
cestry suspect, and as there was no
time to separate good from bad,
thousands were evacuated, citizens
as we'll as aliens. This was a sensi-
BILE and proper step, but one calling
also for a policy free of harsh and
repressive tactics. The War Reloca-
tion Authority seems to have been
guided by that thought in admins
tering the ten camps housing the
evacuees.
While Senate subcommittee
whose report conceded with that of
the War Department and WRA is
critical of the apparent easy, we'll
fed attitude" of the evacuees, the
latter report says that these Gov
ernment charges are being fed at
cost of from "a to AZ cents per per-
son per day; that 80 per cent of the
employables work in the centers for
small wage, and that rigid restric-
tions are put on their movements
outside of the centers.
Where the WRA does appear to
have been remiss is in not wedding
the bad element from the camps.
The Senate report declares that
many disloyal and vicious persons"
have been allowed to remain in the
centers, stirring trouble, and the
WRA admits that only now is segre-
cation being undertaken. There may
be some explanation why this has
required year and half.
Because firmness so obviously is
demanded in this situation, the
country will welcome the declaration
that proper controls will be main
tanned. At the same time, however,
the administrative policy must be
just, as critics we'll might bear in
mind, not only in the interest of
loyal occupants of the camps, but to
forestall the possibility of reprisals
against Americans interned in Japan.

Tell How OPA
Hurts Resort Business.
To the Editor of The Star.

I1uFCS ncSOEG BUSINESS.
To the Editor of The Star:
We, owner of fishing boats and hotels
at small resorts close to Washington,
wish to protest against the unfair ruling
about vacation driving.
One vacation trip a year may help
places like Atlantic City, but 1t shuts
out the many small taxpayers of Mary
land who depend on weekend trade in
boats and boarders for living. We are
people who have our money invested in
equipment for catering to the public Of
Washington.
When pleasure driving was banned we
accepted it as wartime necessity-and
cheerfully. Now the OPA reverses itself
and citizen may use his gas allotment
to make one long vacation trip!
But what about those fishing "addicts"
who have been accustomed to spending
their week ends at nearby resorts? If
there is any gas available for pleasure
driving, has any Government bureau the
power to tell man when or how he
may use his share?
We are tired Of being experimental
with and feel that we have q right to
know the truth about the gas situation.
II there really is no discrimination, we
are satisfied to take our loss and try to
ind other ways to make living.

Resources Planning Board report deals
include the most important problems
which will confront the American people
after the War-unemployment illness.
old age, public assistance. If the quarrel
between the legislative and the ad1ninis
trative branches continues to rage and
involves censorship by the former over
the opinions of the latter, we clearly can
look for no constructive leadership from
our Federal Government We apparently
can win foreign war, but we are politi-
cally impotent to plan comparatively at
home.
The only recourse would seem to be the
creation of voluntary peoples COM
mission corresponding to Sir William
Beveridge's Royal Commission, to exert
the constructive nonpartisan leadership
which our own National Resources Plan
ming Board would have provided if it had
not been made the victim of partisan
politics. Such a commission on social
security should include representation
OF industry, labor, the farm groups, med
1c1ne and economic science. It's duty
should be to rescue the planning board
report from the oblivion to which Con-
gress has tried to assign it. to collect
all available material, to prepare a ma
tlonal program of social security on
which men of good will could agree and
to make this program so clear to the
people OF the United States that no
partisan politics and no selfish interests
can block the way to its acceptance.
Without the execution of such program
the ideals for which this war is being
fought cannot be realized in our country.
