Another fact that must trouble Lecpaal6 is
that the Social Christians, even though A&hey

To find this preferred offering, they

It is here the birds find it. Actually.
our songbirds prefer to eat of the ground.
It is natures table.
II one wants to try to outwit the
squirrels. there are few lodges that
may be tried.
One is to place an inverted cone of tin
on the stake below the feeding station.
This is supposed to keep the rodents
from climbing up, and now and then it
works-for time. Usually, the squirrels
manage to circumvent it somehow. They
are intelligent animals, and so often win
in this battle of wits that many house
holder has, at last, confessed himself
defeated.
There are various gadget feeding sta
tions, each one claimed by its manufac-
turer to be squirrel proof" Usually they
are expensive, and in the end are cir
cumvented, just as most homemade feed
ers are. The spring that closes to the
heavy weight Of squirrel or pigeon fails
to work, or something or other happens.
A second story window sill feeder may
keep squirrels out, although even here
the animals have managed to get in by
dropping from tree limb, or climbing
up brick walls or even clapboards. They
are smart.
Greasing the iron stake may be tried,
but the grease must be applied after every

Ai the same time, we know that he will

Cape trs es back to rain and snow falling on
the land urface and percolating into the ground
to caviti ks below the water table, where 1t is
available A5for pumping.
But the "lost river" myth probably will
survive 81 lcia contradiction, If only because 1t
is part OF Cape Cod folklore, dear to Thousands
of people. Nobody knows who first set up the
WinnipeS d ukee hypothesis. 1t was taken seriously

rainfall b the Cape averages 40 to ~ inches

gallons of pit in fact sinks into the ground until
it reaches nvhat is called "the zone Of saturation

Leopolds Uneasy Position

Leopold III has returned to the Belgian
throne In an atmosphere of discord emphatic
enough to suggest that the renewal of his reign
may turn out to be quite Short-lived. In any
event, with practically all parties but the Social
Christians firmly opposed to him, and with the
Socialists threatening to stage series Of protest
strikes against him, it is difficult to see how he
can hope to serve as a national unifying force
which Is supposed to be his primary role as king.
Although cogent argument can be made for
the view that the Belgian Parliament acted
neither wisely nor Justly in 1945 when it passed
Q law barring his restoration the fact remains
that sentiment against Leopold seems deep and
widespread throughout the country, especially
among the French-speaking Walloons. DESPITE
the many things that can be said in his favor

countrys wartime government in London and
him-rightly or wrongly-by large elements of
the public.
Indeed, Leopold's only solid support is among
the predominantly Catholic Social Christians, who
are chiefly representative Of the FIemish-speak-
Ing Belgians in Flanders. It is this party that
has made his return possible. In the general
election little more than a month ago. it won a.
razor-thin but definite majority In Parliament
and hence was able the other day to pass legis-
lation resembling the act of 1945. But this vim
dication seems too narrow and technical to be
really satisfying. What must weigh on the
