Thinks RooseveIts Are q Dynasty

According to dispatch from New
York, August 20. James Roosevelt is
alleged to have denied that there is
Roosevelt dynasty in the United States.
He said. I'm a democracy in which you
and live, it is the people who decide;
and there can be no question of in
herited rights, in this instance"
think that he is sincere and believes
what he says. However, the majority
of voters do their deciding emotionally.
American. who were between the ages
of and f8 during the years in which
Franklin Roosevelt ruled never had
known any one but Roosevelt in the
White House and they now have the
feeling that the White House belongs
to the Roosevelts. These children cur
rently are of voting age.
On election day, 1914. when Franklin
Roosevelt was returned to the White
House for the last time, a certain school
held a play election. Mr.. Roosevelt re-
ceived two-thirds of the votes; non
Rooseveltians the other one third.

"She is afraid to put him out as there

"If you can give me any information
re feeding of wild baby birds ] will
greatly appreciate it, or if you can give
me the name of good book on the

This correspondent seems. to have

Blue Jays and Bureoucrots

A few days ago the New York Herald Tribune
published story about Mr.. Julian B. Garcia
and his blue jay. Mr.. Garcia found an egg which
had fallen from the nest, built an incubator, and
hatched, fed and raised the blue jay as pet
Then the State Conservation Department entered
the picture. It seemed that under Regulation
so-and-so, only an ornithologist could keep wild
bird. So Mr.. Garcia, over his protests, was forced
to give up his pet blue jay
The Herald Tribune's readers did not like it,
and said so in letters to the editor. One reader
suggested that If the Conservation Department
people had nothing better to do an appropriation
cut might be in order. Another saw in the
incident proof that the country is being "bureauc
ratized to death" To man (or woman), they
were for Mr.. Garcia and against the bureaucrats
It would be wiser, perhaps, to leave New
York controversy to New Workers But it is also
difficult to re- csS the urge to comment from
the Washington point of view. 1t is bit
disturbing, in this alleged heartland of bureauc-
racy, to learn that the bureaucrat is no stranger
to the States But at least it shows that all of
them are not in Washington, and as long as an
experience like that of Mr. Garcia and his blue jay
can arouse such storm of protest. the country
is not in imminent danger of being taken over
and ruined by the bureaucrats

not easy to find enough bugs and
worms for it.
So rich protein food are necessary.
Ground beef. hamburger. beef liver
yolk of hard boiled egg. bread and milk,
pablum and milk
These are a few of the foods that
may be chosen for almost any bird lost
out of its proper nest.
Water is necessary, and may be given
with a medicine dropper before each
meal.
The bits of food are preferred on a
toothpick at first. Usually the bird will
close its bill when it has had enough.
Feeding is best done every hour dur
ing daylight.
After the bird learns to peck food
from the ground, feeding becomes easy
Grit should not be given at any time.
After the bird learns to eat from the
ground it will get all the grit it needs
from the soil.
Birds do not always look for their
missing young, by any means. Often
they are afraid to return because of
the evident interest of the humans in
the scene.
If lost bird is placed in the fork of
a tree, or in small basket, it should
not be watched. even from window, but
left entirely to nature. When the par
ents see they are not being watched
they will return to feed it. in many
cases, but not all.
