Resents Alarm Clock Story

ANSSSltS A<AOCh
To the Editor OF The Star
have been watching for some time
the articles of Constantine Brown.
Of course, understand very well that
he is only following the line, or shall i
say signal, given in certain quarters
some time ago to conduct a relentless
campaign Of hatred, misrepresentation
and untruth against Russia, which
eventually will incite and prejudice the
American people against Russia and
prove convenient in justifying pre-
ventive" war against that country.
Such seems to be the purpose of the
story by Mr.. Brown in The Star of
January 20 about a Russian colonel
staggering in the streets of Vienna
with handsome American alarm clock
hanging from a heavy ribbon around
his neck.
easily could see that the sudden
terror" OF q valiant Russian colonel
could be justified by the unexpected
alarm Of the clock, but I doubt very
much that military man, even a Rus
sian colonel, could be so ignorant as to
shoot at the supposed bomb when it
is well known, even to a child, that the
best way to prevent an explosion of a
bomb is to put it in bucket of water.
A story of that sort would be worth
while to be used by cartoonist in the
"funnies" or on the stage by a vaude-
vile performer, but when an expert"
in foreign affairs uses it, it is beyond
my understanding EUGENE EsTEN.
Mt. Rainier. .Branchville Fares
To the Editor Of The Star:
A few days ago I boarded Mount
Rainier bus at Thirtieth and Upshur In
Mount Rainier and rode to the terminal
in Mount Rainier. On paying full fare,
I asked the driver If it were possible
to transfer to the Branchville streetcar
He assured me 1t was and gave me
transfer (punched specially. But when
I presented 1t to the operator of the
Branchville streetcar he refused it, say
ing it wasn't good on that line.
Previous to the change, routing all
buses into the terminal at Mount
Rainier it was possible to board bus
marked "Riverdale," pay one fare and
ride to the end of the Riverdale zone.
One then could get on a Greenbelt bus
and ride to Greenbelt, paying two fares.
Under the new system, it is required
to pay four full fares to ride to Green
belt whereas it previously was only nee
essary to pay three.
Upon returning to Mount Rainier, I
inquired of the driver of certain bus If
that bus went to Thirtieth and Upshur
Zone on which the fare would have been
5 cents). He referred me to . down.
town bus on which full fare was re-
quired.
I am only one person, but there are
quite a number of persons travelling
those lines and an, extra fare here and
there mounts up. L.

delighted with the falcon,
also of the hawk family but,
because of its temperament,
the most natural of all aerial
hunters.
"The power to control a
bird Of prey has always fas-
cinated me-" he says.
The key to training a falcon
is food. The master first
keeps the bird in a dark room
and feeds it there until it
gets used to his voice and
manner. All during the early
stages of feeding, he whistles
or calls to it 50 that his voice
will become associated with
feeding.
Training in the field is
done by means of a lure. This
might be q chunk of leather
covered with feathers or a
dead pigeon. The lure Is
swung on a thong, and the
bird, kept hungry until its
training period, dives repeat
edly at the lure at express
train speed until it strikes it
with its talons. This entities
the falcon to MUNICH OF the
pigeon or other meat the
trainer carries in a sack.
Thus, the bird is taught to
come to hand.
There Is certain equip
ment a trainer needs, the
most important Of which Is q
strong leather gauntlet over
the left hand, on which the

EALCONRY, once the sport
l. of kings, now has only
a tiny but devoted band of
followers who believe it is
more fun-and perhaps more
sporting-to hunt with a bird
than with a gun.
One of the local enthusiasts,
John H. McCabe, 4746 First
street North, Arlington, is
currently training his young
bird, "Scheherezade;" and ex-
poets to take the field for ac-
tual hunting with her early
this fall.
Every evening, when the
sun has gone down, he takes
his bird to an open field near
his home and turns her loose
for her exercise.
If she didn't fly every day,
she would soon become weak
on the wing" he says. Train
ing a falcon calls for a great
deal of time and patience"
Mr.. McCabe, recently out of
the Army and now a student
at Catholic University, appar-
emily has both. Since early
last Spring, he has followed
faithfully the arduous routine
of training a bird from the
nest to the hunt. His bird
has never flown wild. She
was taken from a nest in
Montana and sent to MIR. Nc
Cabe as a gift. Having pre-
viously done some hunting
with a Cooper hawk. he was

bird perches when it Is not in
flight. This is to protect the
hand against the needle-like
talons. The falcon wears on
its legs "jesses," or strips of
light leather, through which
the leash Is passed. Tiny bells
are attached to the legs SO
that the trainer can hear the
bird when it has flown out of
sight. Oh, yes, falcons In
training sometimes do fly
away for good.
Mr.. McCabe says training q
falcon is not only difncult but
expensive. He buys IA or IS
squads at q time for training
and feeding purposes, and
these, he says. run into
money"
This summer he few the
bird only in the evening in
order to prevent it from
overheating and firing.
Normally. the bird is kept
tethered to a wooden block
perch in the back yard, where
it struts around on little bow
legs covered with feathery
pantaloons and casts q beady
eye at intruding dogs and
cats. This Is part of the
training. The bird must be
accustomed to humans and
the usual household animals.
AS yet, there has been no
bird-beast fracas, and as time
goes on the chances of any
diminish.

TT's lightning fast, calls for your last ounce
i of energy and skill and leaves you wringing
wet after half hour - but no one ever suffered
black eye from it, got rained on or fell off
horse
Among the 100000 Americans who have
learned they can't worry about the high cost
of living with steel point at their threats are
doctors, lawyers, college professors, housewives
and retired admirals. One of the ex-sea-dogs,
welding wicked saber at go, says that now
he knows the sensation of repelling boarders.
For about $40 the fencing tyro can buy all
the equipment he needs, including weapons,
bee-keeper's mask, padded jackets, sneakers
and gauntlet He learns with the foil, gradual
ing to the epee and saber. The foil is for
thrusting at the torso the epee for thrusting
at any part of the body, and the saber for
cutting and thrusting above the waist.
Although the epee has three sharp prongs at
its point and inflicts many scratch, it is the
saber that often dents devotee into fac
si1nie of a washboard. Strangely enough,
one is less likely to acquire welts in a bout
with an expert. He knows how to score
with glancing blows that allow him to
get back into position in a fash.
Some fencers maintain that an hour on the
fencing strip is as good as course in applied
psychology. They say they know more about an

acquaintance If he's sneak or gentleman,
tinid or bold, they're wise to him after the
first lunge, parry and nposte.
One champion says he likes fencing because
1T teaches physical control, balance and dis
tance." Others have different views. Listen
to the fencer shout and scream as he lunges,"
one prominent amateur comments, "and you
realize it's the old killer instinct - in polite
FORM"
Who Touched Whom?
lHE sport is so fast that there were many
arguments about who touched whom until
someone invented an electrical epee machine
Wired to the blades, it lights up recording
difference of as little as one twenty-ffth Of
second between touches. This guards against
mistakes and takers like certain swordsman
who would make an unsuccessful attack, i'm
mediately snatch off his mask and walk over
to spectators box where fair damsel was
planted. There he would bestow gallant kiss
upon the lady's hand and the tactful judges
couldn't bear to rule that no score had been
made. The machine doesn't give darn.
One final caution, gained by this writer
through experience: in conversing with any
fencer, it is wise not to drop ones guard, even
if he has laid aside his weapon. Without word
of warning, he will illustrate his most recent
triumph with stab from rigid index finger
that spells trouble for cigars and pocket watches

Of the United States Army, the
Cossacks flew to the far Pacific to
sing for the American Army of
occupation in distant outposts. They
sang 10 concerts for some 10000
servicemen, and visited the ravaged
town of Hiroshima. After evacuating
a city in Korea, because of rumors
Of revolution, the singers hit the
hurricane at Kogashima, the south
ernmost tip of Japan. The most
unforgettable concert of the tour
took place in the old Russian cathe-
dral in Tokyo, from which city they
were banished in 1888 for refusing
to contribute half of their earnings
to the japanese war chest.
