He is, in plain words, something Of
scoundrel.
The gray squirrel is restless, given to
mischief, and is not above eating birds
eggs, now and then, but in the main he
is a capable, decent citizen Of the
aboreal world.
He may eat your red ripe tomatoes,
and gnaw few ears of corn; he may
dig up tulip bulbs. and ruin few fancy
flowers, but as general proposition he
Is decent. as animals go.
One thing any one may do to help
the squirrels is to chase them out Of the
street, every time one finds them in 1t.
Like children, squirrels have no idea Of
the difference between the street and
the sidewalk. To them. it is all just
something to scamper in.
If they are deliberately chased out
Of the roadbed, they in time will as
Sociate it with being chased. This is
about the best one can do with crea-
ture to whom it is impossible to ex-
plain anything.
The other big help. as stated. is to
provide food in the rear garden. This
usually boils down to permitting them
to eat with the birds.
Any one who admires squirrels, and
yet has not fed the birds, should begin
putting out food at once. Then regard
the squirrels as guests, too. It is as
simple as ABC, and quite as pleasing
to all concerned. There is amazing
satisfaction in repeating "ABC." and
amazing happiness in eating sunnower
seed-if you are . squirrel. or . bird.

"GRARD STREET.

L.
Dear Sir:
I'VE still have squirrels in this neigh
borhood. What can I do to protect
them? Traffic is heavy, at least in COM
parison with the past years. The squir-
rels dart across and sometimes lose their
lives.
"Is there anything I can do to help
them? I love these animals, find them
entertaining, and believe they add great
deal to daily life. The few times have
offered assistance they seem to resent it,
and gallop of as if I were an enemy.
animals such as these do not seem
70 discriminate between friend and foe.
Enat scarcely seems to be living up to
the intelligence you ascribe to animals.
I. too, like to regard them as having
brains. but when find them frowning.
in sense, at me. who wants to help
them. must say wonder If they have
any brains at all.
"Are they just pretty combinations Of
fur and motor activities? Or do they
use their heads, as we do? At least, as
We are supposed to do.
Sincerely yours. M. J. l."

The gray squirrel always attracts
attention
It has been q favorite around WASH

'Porqy and Bess' MisIeudinq?

agree with Miss Connor, that send
ing "Porgy and Bess' to Europe will hand
the Communists a propaganda item on
a platter, but not for the same reasons
that Miss Connor names.
agree that the play portrays the
worst side of the Negro race, showing
them as uncultured and immoral
sort of Tobacco Road of the Negro race.
But my objection is that it shows them
living in squalor and poverty in a bat
tered and rundown neighborhood. A
picture of that sort certainly cannot do
us any good abroad. My objection,
chiefly. is that the picture is unfair.
We know that such conditions exist
in Harlem and South Chicago, but they
are the exception and not the rule. Here,
in Washington, they live in the same
kind of houses as white folks. some in
much better. Some have beautiful homes
in the suburbs. Also would say that
three-fourths of them are educated and
well behaved people.
