the watch for the various sparrows.
Many persons who just "like birds"
never go beyond the English sparrow.
lhey do not dif1erentiate between it and
the song sparrow, the white -throated
sparrow, and the white crowned SPARROW.
In addition, there are 16 other species
OF sparrows found in the District of
Columbia and vicinity.
Tree, chipping and field sparrows are
seen now and then. But almost every
suburban yard will have the song SPAR
row, the white-throated sparrow, and.
OF course, the English or house SPARROW.
sometimes called the European sparrow.
The song sparrow Is one of our very
finest birds. He remains in this vicinity
all winter, and is one of the few songsters
to sing during the cold.
No sight is finer than one of these
fellows singing vigorously from a fence
post in the snow.
X
During the summer months the song
sparrow will walk to within a few feet
of one in the yard
1t Is not afraid Of cats and dogs, hop
ping around calmly in their very pres
ence
1t delights in a sunken bath. ANY old
pan or dish, put in the ground so that
the bird can walk up to it, will delight
them.
If a few stones are put around the dish
and some plants, it will make very,
pretty layout.
Once we watched a song sparrow TAX
ing bath, and counted so times he went
beneath the surface.
Such bath is best made not more
than two inches deep. If deeper, a stone
should be placed in the center, so that
it sticks up.
Sometimes a wandering tortoise will
give show in bath.
He cannot get into a bowl on a ped
estsl. but finds the sunken bath much
to his liking.
On hot day he will submerge him
self, and lie for several minutes with
just his head sticking out.
One OF the best ways to give water to
the birds, in addition to the baths, is to
put the hose on the fine spray, and turn
it so that it falls down on bush.
The drip of the water off the leaves,
down through the entire shrub, gives
the birds just the sort of natural bath
ing they like
The cardinal, especially, seems to be
intrigued by this.
He will perch in the bush. Tapping
his wings, and preening his feathers, for
many minutes at time.
The wetness beneath the bush will
bring to the surface many earthworms,
which will be found by the robins.
Robins occupy preferred position in
the bird world, in that their favorite
food is not eaten by the other songsters,
to any extent There is scarcely any other
bird 'foodstuff' OF which this may be
said.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TrdcetpeH.

A correspondent wants to know the
name of bird which he declares says
"Berlioz-Verdi!" and later Cherokee
kee-kee"
This is probably the wood thrush.
People hear what they want to hear,
when listening to this and other song
sters.
The wood thrush, finest OF birds, says
CLARA Lee to our ears.
Every other listener hears it different
way Hearing the birds SAY" something
is ticklish business. No two persons
ever hear them SAY" exactly the same
thing.
A brief inspection of the words at
tributed to famous singing birds reveals
clearly that what people hear Is what
they want to hear.
A farmer worried by planting prob
lems-his name was Peverly-heard a
small bird say, as clear as anything.
Sow wheat, Peverly Peverly, Peverly,"
which advice was taken, and which, all
things taken into consideration, was very
nice of the bird.
II you and I were to hear that bird,
we would not hear him SAY" the same
thing Indeed, all we would hear would
be d succession of notes.
If we tried to write them down in
musical notation. no two of us, granted
we were able to do it at all, would set
down the same notes, nor in the same
positions on the scale.
Some observers, including some OF the
more famous, have heard the oven bird
say: Teacher, teacher, teacher" with
the accent in old New England fashion
on the second syllable
To most listeners it says nothing OF
the sort.
The white-throated sparrow (the one
referred to above), says Sow wheat"
etc, but to others it has said, rather
"Old Sam Peabody. Peabody, Peabody"
Our correspondent has put the words
"Berlioz-Verdi' to notes which much
the wood thrush, but makes the notes
for the Cherokee" part Of the song re-
senble the common song of the white
throated sparrow.
1t is often difficult to be sure of what
one hears, and possible to mix up the
songs, or parts of songs, of two different
birds
The wood thrush's song is wild and
free, whereas that of the white -throate
sparrow is shy and plaintive.
They are not in the least alike
A good look at the singer would settle
it. The wood thrush is distinctive bird,
with beautiful brown back and wings,
and spotted light-gray chest, whereas
the hite-throated sparrow is. as it's
name indicates, sparrow-li bird, but
with white and yellow stripes on its head.

chin.

since the ban was decreed and I haven't
worried whether the ban was necessary
or not. That's none of my business. It's
everybodys business to help win this
war.
Spreading discomfort and ill-feeling
about imaginary or trivial personal
grievances is not going to help. Let's get
behind the President and help push for
victory. So-called intelligent opposi-
tion" to the administration doesn't win
wars What we need is more intelligent

less of our own personal views as to the

To the Editor of The Star:
have noticed with interest the un-
successful attempt of an OPA official to
answer your editorials, which, in my
opinion, were 100 per cent correct. The
American citizen never has gotten any
consideration from the OPA except the
attitude you're guilty until you prove
yourself innocent
They call their men investigator"
and pay them high salaries, out of our
money when a 10-year-old boy could
copy down license numbers at a ball
park. Investigators are supposed to in
vestigate-not harass the American pub
lie. In that regard, the District Com
missioners are to be congratulated for
not allowing the police to stop cars over
the Fourth of July. A man with an "A"
card cannot waste much gas at 1877
gallons per week, yet he must explain
every trip and is stopped and asked
questions.
The source of the supply of the cou-
pons is what should be investigated. If
they Investigated, I wonder how many
so-called war workers they would find
who have listed four or five passengers
to be carried each day in order to get
the gas I also wonder if the passengers
applications were investigated, If they
would find that they also asked for and
received gas for the same purpose and
took turns in driving to work L also
wonder if they would find that the
mileage was greatly exaggerated.
We need rationing, but not the way
It. IS handled now. The OPA's answer
to such letter as this probably would
be that am an individual who can do
nothing. That is true with the excep-
ton that as yet they haven't been able
to take away my right to vote against
an administration that tolerates such
practlces. E. \. j.

= Big Inch

There are lot of interesting facts
about Big Inch," completed on
Monday 1t is the longest and largest
oil-carrying pipeline in the world.
1t has required less than a year to
lay Its 1888 miles of tWenty-four
and twenty inch steel tubing from
Longview, Texas, to Bayway, New
Jersey, and Marcus Hook, Pennsyl-
vania. 1t soon will be pouring
10000 900 gallons of crude oil day
into Eastern reflneries, doing the
work of $4,000 railroad tank cars
or 60 modern tankers. 1t cost $95,-
o,00o-s5, 100000 less than esti-
mated. 1t crosses five States, eight
to sixteen feet underground; some
200 streams and thirty rivers. About
100000 tons of seamless steel went
into it's construction.
But one of the most interesting
facts about Big Inch" is the argu-
ment which preceded decision to
build it-an argument which lasted
longer than it took to lay the line.
Secretary Ickes first urged It's con-
struction July 20, 1910, as the best
way to get oil to the East. He was
given a final refusal by the old
Supply Priorities and ALLEGATION
Board in October of 1941 on the
ground that the need did not justify
use of the neutrality-suspicious.
steel. This final" disapproval was
the second time the project had been
turned down by SPAB. The WPB
replaced SPAB, and WPB gave an
other final decision against the
pipeline on March S, 1912. On May
18 the President told his press con-
ference that he had ordered a study
made of the feasibility of building
one or more pipelines to the East
Immediately. But four days later
Donald Nelson told his press confer
ence: The pipeline Is out unless you
want to give up planes and tanks"
On June 10 WPB gave its approval
for the first allocationS of material.
And now the thing is done, with
crude oil creeping toward East Coast
ref1neries at the rate of three miles
an hour. 1t will reach it's destination
in about two weeks
So we have the pipeline, and we
have it without giving up the planes
and the tanks Mr.. IckeS refrained
from any Il told you SOS" when he
helped weld the last link of Big
Inch," contenting himself with few
admonitions against expecting too
much in the way of gasoline for
pleasure driving. For the pipeline
was built to fight the war, not to
furnish gasoline for nonessential
uses. The engineers say they built
the line to last a hundred years-a
pretty good monument to remind us
later on of how easily the impos-
sible things can be done once we
make up our minds to do them.

Children Spared
From the Topeka Capital.


For this We Americans can be thank
full: The children of this land are spared
the horrors of war and can laugh and
play with the normal appetites of the
very young, who find life perpetual JOY
But in England and many other Allied
countries the war has cast deep, dark
shadow across the faces of children who
have never known peace
The first walls of many of these young
sters were lost amid the walls of AFRAID
sirens. They have been reared in an
atmosphere of danger and sacrifice and
hardship. Many of the them have ex-
perienced the horrors of falling bombs
and incendiary fires. And always, the
enemy has been only few miles away.
Here in Kansas, and in all America,
the children are still safe. 1t is to keep
them safe that men are fighting in other
lands.

established from 81 BIC. to 14A.D.
The golden age" however, was too
brief. In its stead there rose the
horrors of the degenerate emperors
and their heirs" the savage captains
of the north and east. Rome burned
for six days in Nero's reign, July, 64.
1t was saved temporarily by Com

Goths between 18O and 1872. The
Barbarian invasions really began in
earnest in 236 and no amount of
ransom sufficed to meet the demands
OF the invaders Alaric took the
metropolis, sacked and burned it in
40; Attila, who held sway from
China to the Atlantic, was held off

forerunners in 455 and Odoacer

in 1888, LadiSlas of Naples in 14O8,
Colonna and his Spaniards in 1926,
Constable de Bourbon and the French
in 1927. The Napoleonic Wars
brought armies from France again
in 1900 and 1908. Rome also sur

nomination, who proclaimed himself
an "isolationist.' The Republican
party, it may be safely predicted,
will write into it's platform next year
pledge Of international co-opera-
tion for peace by the United States
after the war has been won.
Each month brings further con-
f1rmation Of this view. The Re-
publican Postwar Policy Association,
meeting in New York on Monday,
adopted series of resolutions urg-
ing the party to take a strong stand
in support of an international or
ganization to maintain peace. The
25O delegates attending went even
further. They instructed the chair
man, Deneen Watson of Chicago, to
call upon Chairman Spangler of the
Republican National Committee and
demand that the Republican Post
war Council, appointed by him, take
early action. In plain English, they
intend to prod the council into
declaration of policy on par with
that favored by the association.
The Republican National Commit
tee in 1912 adopted a resolution say
ing that the United States has an
obligation to assist in bringing about
cooperation among the nations
after the war. The resolution was
adopted unanimously. But the
friends of Wendell L. Willkie insisted
at the time that he was responsible
for this action. 1t is of more than
passing interest that the recent
meeting in New York OF the Post
war Policy Association was attended
by many OF Mr.. WILKES ardent sup
porters for the 1914 presidential
nomination, among them Gov Bald
win Of Connecticut and Representa-
tive Clark Baldwin of New York.
If the Spangler Postwar Policy
Council does the expected and writes
a foreign policy plank pledging the
Republican party to support an in
ternational policy of cooperation,
the association may attempt to take
credit for having forced" such &C
tion upon the council. And some of
this credit may slip over to Mr..
Willkie and his friends.
1t is no secret that Mr. Spangler,
as chairman of the COP National
Committee, and the members of his
postwar council, do not relish the
idea of being badgered by the Post
war Policy Association. On the other
hand, should Mr.. Spangler send Mr..
Watson and his supporters away with
a sharp answer, the policy associa-
tlon will be in a position to complain
that the Spangler council is far from
being international-m minded, and is
pretty close to being isolationist.
The Republicans generally are
moving toward position Of interna-
tionalism in contrast to their old
isolationism. 1t would be a pity if
they should fall out because of the
personal ambitions of any particular
candidate over the terms of foreign
policy pronouncement and thus end

Rome q forget

Aerial bombardment of military
detectives in Rome by the Allies
recalls to mind the scores OF other
occasions upon which the central
city of the universe" has been at
tackled. The history Of Italy always
has revolved around the ancient set
tlement on the yellow Tiber. Thus 1t
truly may be said that every opera
ton against the Apennine Peninsula
has been in some sense aimed at its
focal point. The struggle for control
of the capital dates back to 74S B.C.,
when the Sabipes successfully as
sailed it's walls.
Coriolanus besieged Rome in 488,
the Aequi in 458 and 446. Then In
800 came the first of the Barbarians,
Gauls under Brennus, who sacked
and burned the city and withdrew
from its environs only when they
had been richly paid for going. Fear
of a similar disaster characterized
the inhabitants during" the Punic
wars. Rome was in terror when
Hannibal crossed the Alps and turned
south. The Carthaginian leader was
within mile of the gates when he
was recalled in 211. He left the
surrounding country exhausted.
Internecine troubles followed. The
Romans, unfortunately, never learned
to avoid fighting among themselves.
Civil strife mars the record almost
from the start. The contest between
Sulla and Marius in 88 BIC. wrecked
the town. A few months later it was
besieged by four armies at one time.
CHINA was the leader of the victorious
party. His example subsequently in
spired the rebel Spartacus in u. But
even the excesses of that strange and
still mysterious chapter were sur
passed by the crimes which developed
from mob rule instigated by the
partisans OF Clodius and Milo in 50
and the bitter conflict between
Caesar and Pompey in 40. Anarchy

A Job Well Done

We owe great deal to the public
spirited citizens who are giving their
services so freely these days in the
various volunteer war activities Of
the community. In this connection
the appointment of John A. Reilly to
succeed H, L. Rust, jr, as chairman
of the District of Columbia War FL
nance Committee is appropriate oc-
caSion for an expression of appre-
citation over Mr. Reilly's acceptance
of the responsibility and of con-
gratulations to Mr. Rust for the fine
record established under his leader
ship. 1t is a record of which Wash
ington may be proud. Mr.. Rust was
appointed chairman of the original
War Savings Committee two years
ago, when the committee existed only
In the future plans of the Treasury
Department.. Its organization was
completed in the fall of 1941 and in
the final three months of that year
approximately $15,0OO,OO0 in war
savings securities were purchased by
Washingtonians. In 1912 sales to-
tailed over $S5,OoO, 900, and during the
first six months of the current year
approximately $72,0OO,OOO of Series
E, F and G War Bonds have been
bought. With 1912 sales exceeding
500 per capita, sales during the first
six months Of 1943 have averaged
nearly SIS per capita per month.
Local quotas since December /, 1912,
have been based solely on Series E
bonds, but the District has exceeded
its monthly quota in each of the
seven months since, ranking at or
near the top in per capita sales in
the Nation. During the Second War
Loan campaign last April, Mr.. Rust
served as chairman both of the War
Savings Committee and the War FL
nance Committee, with Washington
exceeding it's quota by 88 per cent.
