Farewell to the best of birds
"a note to tell you," writes E. L. OF
Arlington, ''l1ow very much enjoyed
your recent article on robins.
I'm especially interested in what
these handsome birds like to eat.
Needless to say, the bird bath will
always be filled, and from now on there
will be plenty of raisins."
Cocoanut cake is another must" for
robins.
This may sound absurd to some. Only
a particularly hardy soul, here and
there, will bake cake for birds.
More householders may happen to
have cocoanut cake in the pantry, and,
If they have. they should spare a slice
for the flyers.
II there are any robins left here
about by this time. they will flock in
to get the special food.
Then even the hardy soul would be
pleased. and think that perhaps he was
mistaken. after all-it would be a good
thing to bake'a cake just for them!
It must be kept in mind that even
after the robins are gone. there will be
a half dozen of them left.
Most of these are in Rock Creek Park,
where they may be seen flying In and
out Of shrubhery.
Berried bushes and bits OF lunch left
over from picnics furnish their supply
for the cold months.

favorite, and food merely sprinkled on
the ground or in the grass will be
found.
It is good idea, Of course, to place
the food in the same place every day.
One feeding in early morning, and
another about an hour before dark, will
give the birds great deal of help.
It should be emphasized that water
is a paramount need of bird life in
winter. They not only like to bathe, in
any weather. but it does not seem to
hurt them in the least to take bath
In the coolest water.
We have seen squirrels break the ice
on bath. and take dip. to be fol-
lowed by all the Songsters in the yard.
Birds also need water to drink. In
cold. windy weather, most of the small
natural pools dry up. It is all the more.
necessary. therefore. that friends of the
birds take special pains to keep baths
filled.
This will necessitate some thought,
since even such small matters do not
take care of themselves It is a good
plan to have system about this. Make
it a practice to inspect the baths every
day. They should be filed daily, even
in freezing weather. and should be
brushed out at least once a week.
The earth beneath some shrub should
be kept cultivated. so that sparrows and
o few others can take dust baths.

A Word for McGronery

There is more than little irony in the
fact that Attorney General McGranery should
be among those for whom the political bell is
now tolling.
He gave up a lifetime place on the Federal
bench to come to the Department of Justice
in the wake of the McGrath- Morris fasco But
this was part of the political game-a risk will
ingly taken by man reared in the tradition
Of party loyalty.
The irony lies in the fact that MIR. McGranery
has done real job in the Department of Justice
He brought in a new and competent team Of
assistants. He gave the utmost cooperation to
the House committee investigating his depart
ment-an investigation which certainly did not
help the Democrats in the election. It is not an
exaggeration to say that in his own sphere,

won their most remarkable success to
date.
The Democrats? Certainly. They
elected no one and haven't elected any
one running on their party label to
the board since 1948.
The Republicans? Here, to this OBJ
server, is the real loser. Mr.. Rowzee, who
only one year ago finished a poor fifth
with only 3,778 votes, was swept into
Office in the Republican landslide with
11.440 votes. Had the Republicans not
entered into the AIM agreement they
might very well have elected candidates
to all four vacancies and thus have
had an all-Republican board, for in
the presidential race, they carried every
single precinct, with very few even close.
The Republican leaders in the county
must even now be wondering whether
they passed up the golden opportunity!

Maryland Improves Its Roads

Residents of the Washington METROPOLITAN
Area have natural interest in Maryland's pro-
posed 12-year highway program for several of
the major projects are directly related to the
phenomenal development of this area in recent
years In addition to the roads which may be
regarded as main approaches to washington.
there are improvements elsewhere in the State
that motorists generally have longed form
Guiding bypass around congested Baltimore
The State Highway Commissions road
construction plans for nearby Maryland are in
line generally with those of the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. Briefly summarized they call for g.
clrcumferential Washington bypass, crcling
from the proposed Alexandria bridge through
Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties to a
bridge in the vicinity of Cabin John; extension
OF the Washington National Pike (Route 24O)
to the District line, the Washington Annapolis
Expressway and reconstruction of Central ave-
nue. and Edmonston road into dual highways
Excluded from the program is the Washington

Federal Government. Maryland already has
built its portion of this important expressway,
designed to relieve dangerous traffic conditions

orous opposition from property owners each time
particular route has been suggested. Decision
on route has been delayed by these difficult
ties Similarly, there has been some opposition
to the proposal for an intercounty belt road
around the District. These are problems which
the Maryland-National Capital Park and Plan

Maryland WaShington region is expected to be
announced within few weeks. Public support
for Maryland's highway-mprovemen program
will be necessary to make it effective It is vital

Militant Tactics Won

In the Editors note following Edgar
AnSel Mowers letter Of November 7 you
suggest that some one give a dem
onStration OF what he may have in mind
to get action on District of Columbia
: Suffrage.
AS one who was arrested innumerable
times and imprisoned four times during
our fight for Congressional action on
the Woman Suffrage Amendment, I
suggest that District residents follow
the line we took to force the issue.
The picture that accompanied Mr..
Mowers letter in The Star showed
part of the Suffrage parade, the day
before Wilson's Inauguration, organized
by the National Woman's Party (then
known as the Congressional Union)
This was the beginning Of our struggle.
For four long years after that we
talked, pleaded, lobbied and petitioned
Congress but nothing happened. Then
we went militant. We felt that our
country could not preach democracy
abroad without practicing it at home.
Without breaking any laws, we picket
ed the White House and Congress for
two years, proclaiming to the world our
just demands and the refusal of our
Government to grant them.
In a lawless effort to suppress our
activities, we were subjected to unlawful
arrests and imprisonment and were
treated with shameful indignities while
in prison, but women never were fright
ened. AS fast as women were imprisoned,
more and more women came from all
parts of the country to take their places
on the picket lines and in prison cells.
More than l 200 were arrested and over
300 were imprisoned.
At that time The Star said editorially
that "the militants had set the Suf-
frage movement back so years." but
that was a bad prediction. In just two
years the President and Congress yielded

Backing Up the Police

If more judges were to follow the stern
policy which Municipal Judge Almond Scott has
adopted in bootleg cases, the efforts of the police
to clean up the illicit liquor rackets in Wash
ington would be much more effective In refus-
ing to accept guilty plea of man charged
with keeping and selling whisky illegally, Judge
Scott served notice that from now on he is
going to send convicted bootleggers to Jail, in
stead of f1ning them. He instructed the defend
ant to get lawyer and prepare to 60 before
jury.
Hereafter I'm not going to let these people
come here and just pay fine" Judge Scott told
the defendant. "This judge just isn't going to
stand for anything like that. After all, why do
you think police officers make cases?" The
judges announcement is welcome news to the
police, who have been complaining publicly
about the leniency shown bootleggers in local
courts. Deputy Police Chief Clarence Lutz re-
Gently declared that his Morals Squad was being
frustrated in its roundup of illicit liquor peddlers
by prevailing court custom of letting them
on with nominal fine. The average racketeer.
ne said, can return to his hauntS and make up
the fine in one nights operations Only Jail
sentence is a real deterrent, he asserted.
Evidently Judge Scott has seen enough re-
peaters to know that the police criticism of the
fine them and turn them loose practice was
Justified. Unfortunately, there is no assurance
that the other Municipal Court judges will Join
In Judge Scotts send them to- policy. Each
Judge reserves the right to consider each case
"on its merits" But if all of the judges would
give serious thought to the plight of the police
and the public in such cases. as Judge Scott has
done, more Jail sentences instead of fines un-
doubtedly would result.

On Bathroom Sinqinq

DR.. Herbert E. Alden, medical professor at
Emory University in Georgia, has written
prescription that makes a lot of sense in this
age of high national and international fevers.
Leaving aside pills, injections and things like
that, he has come out foursquare for the idea
that people-men and women alike-should
spend more time relaxing and singing in the
bath tub. In his opinion, that is the way to
better life, and he deplores the fact that all
too many of us just run in and out of showers,
needless of what we are missing when we neglect
the opportunity to lave ourselves indolently and
let our lungs give vent to the music within us.
This is matter that Dr. Alden looks upon
with some severity. AS he has put it, Present.
day bath methods and manners are such as
to take us away from the physical and spiritual
comforts of the lazy, timeless, restful immersion
of our bodies in tubs of warm water" There
was day when this wasn't so. Most people
used to delight in those comforts, singing out
loud to let the whole family, and even the whole
neighborhood, know how good 1t all was. The
world was pleasanter then, the pace of life was
slower, and man considered it right and wise
to soak there peacefully and privately among
the suds until moved (as Archimedes was moved
to shout "Eureka!") to cut loose, in tenor, bass
baritone or any old thing, with bit Of opera
or a humdinger like 'The Indian Love Call" or
"Chloe," or some fearful ballad powerful enough
to make the welkin ring.
But today, alas, the art of bathing and
singing in the tub, like the art of going to an
afternoon tea party, is virtually a lost art
The quick shower, the hurried dip-this is what
we have now, with precious few exceptions
Maybe there are those who welcome the change
Maybe one can argue that most Of us have
terrible voices and that therefore mankind is
well rid of what DR.. Alden~wants to revive
But is that really SO? Is it but mere coinci-
dence, after all, that the world seems to have
grown worse and worse as bathroom tenors have
become rarer and rarer? Let us be slow to scoff
Our epoch might be more restful, and ourselves
happier in it, If all of US tried the Alden pre-
scription beginning perhaps with the tumult
Of kiss Of Fire" or the f1ne sad lines Of High
Noon"

to our just and resolute demand, and
submitted the Amendment to the States
for ratification. It took less than two
years to secure that ratification, and we
have been voting ever since 1920. The
District Of Columbia is still voteless.
OF course militancy could not have
won had there not been millions of
non-militants behind us who wanted the
vote but were unwilling to fight for it
but they never would have won had it
not been for our "shock troops" who
forced the issue by making further delay
impossible.
Mr.. Mowrer is right. Although we
militants never broke the laws in our
fight Gas he suggests) we would have
done so, as the English militants did,
had it been necessary.
Congress gave in to our irreconcil-
ables before that was necessary.
If the District residents really care,
they will have to sacrifice their personal
feelings and strike for their liberty in
way that Congress will not dare defy.
But they will have to stick by their guns
when the fight is on. Pleadings and
remonstrances will never win the victory.
II. H. Wecu.
For description of what meant by
becoming public nuisance" The Star
should reread Henry Thoreaus essay
on the DUTY of Civil Disobedience."
There it will find what people like me
have in mind when we say that in
obedience to the American principle Of
mo taxation without representation,
voteless D. Gers. may have to make
public nuisances" of themselves before
they get the vote. So long as British
women merely argued for suffrage, they
got only laughter and stony stares from
the men. When as suffragettes, they
started civil disobedience, they got the
franchise in hurry.
Obviously, to be effective in the Dis
trict, civil disobedience has to be collec-
tive. Practiced by just one individual
(unless that one is popular leader like
GandhD, it is an offense to be handled
by the courts on an individual basis
Carried out simultaneously by 5000
citizens in good standing, it becomes
political crusade. fear such crusade
will be necessary.
