Silenced for years, this bell has re- ed for a hundred years or more, per- aps, in the archives at Georgetown College. Beyond the recorded fact that it was placed in the belfry built for the church of St. Mary's in 1682, there is mo other record in the archives to tell its story. At the founders’ day celebration at Georgetown tomorrow, Rev. Timothy J. Barrett, S.

ROOSEVELT GROUP REVIVES MEMORIAL Coliseum on Proposed Ave- nue of States Is Favored by Board of Trade. Interest in Washington in the plan of the Roosevelt Memorial Association to erect a great memorial here has been revived with the annual report of the assoclation, published Saturday, in which the matter is discussed along with other interests of the memorial group. The trustees of the association are acting in conjunction with the Na- tional Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and have pledged them- selves to erection of the memorial at such time as its form and location shall be decided upon. D. C.

The Washington Board of Trade several years ago sug- gested that the memorial take the form of a great coliseum at the east end of East Capitol street, near Anacostia, pointing out that the structure might be made to connect with the Capitol by the proposed Avenue of States and at the same time serve as an eastern approach to the Capital.

Officials interested in the proposed coliseum hope that the Plln might em- body the projection of bridges over Kingman Lake and the Eastern branch of the Anacostia River. Proponents of the plan feel that the establishment of such a coliseum, to seat 100,000 and be available for athletics as well as na- tional gatherings, would give the city a better proportion and tend to offset any benefit of the widow a Dykes Dulaney, and a fund of $50,000 for the widow. Mrs. Dulaney and the son, Paul, are to be trustees of another $50,000 fund for the benefit of the daughter, Alice, and of still another $50,000 fund for the benefit of the son, Wililam Dykes Du- laney.

DEATH-BED STUDY OF BIRDS BROUGHT JOY AS LIFE EBBED Observations of Jo}m L. Martin, Published posthumously. Class Feathery Crea- tures as Gentlemen and Vagabonds. A bed-ridden invalid in a Southern sanitarium, a former member of The Star's news staff, the late John L. Mar- tin, found new interests in the last years of his life through intimate acquaint- ance with the bird population of the trees outside his window. Martin's keen observations of the habits and personalities of the feathered creatures have just been published post- ‘humously. The sick man records how, from his bed, he looked out upon the happy, sing- ing birds, envied them their joy and freedom, and longed for a better under- standing of them. But he could not go to them. Perhaps he felt more thai premonition that he could never arise again from that sanitarfum bed and go to them, that the timid creatures must come to him. “This is how I did it,” he says. “The orderly stretched a rope between my rch and the bough of an oak tree 30 eet away, running it through a pulley at each end. A cigar box, laden with crumbs, was suspended stout twine from the rope. The pulley ar- rangement enabled me to slide it to the tree and in among the leaves. Did “Thriving Business.” “An inquisitive chickadee was the first to discover it. He Jost no time in spreading the news. Almost immedi- ately nuthatches and titmice joined him. Then I began to draw the box slowly away from the tree and toward the porch. I drew it about a yard at & time and always the guests followed it unhesitatingly and fearlessly until it was a few inches away from the porch pillar. It was back within two hours after I had sent it into the tree and it has been in operation ever since, doing a thriving business the year around.” From these close quarters Martin was able to study chickadees, nut- hatches, titmice, cardinals, downy wood- peckers, bluejays, English sparrows, song sparrows, pine warblers, purple finches, Carolina wrens, scarlet tamagers, towhees, chipping sparrows, catbirds, brown thrashers, robins and wood thrushes. “They revealed to me,” he said, “that birds have a very human side. Their dispositions, reactions and emotions are }!.ke t;lou of men and women. Anger, love, fear, courage, laziness, enterprise, fidelity, disloyalty, chivalry, no;p and manners—you may find them all in birddom. I am convinced there is some faculty past human understanding by which birds give each other signals and wll;mnu." o ere are & few of Martin's character nug‘l{: of the birds: “The catbird has a friendly disposi- tion and a world of p!l'mnl]uy.pmfll there is no getting away from the fact that he is a Jekyll-Hyde actor. He specializes in contrasts and contradic- tions. A gentleman one minute, he is a tramp the next. He can sing with the best of them and he can make the day hideous with raucous noise. Just as you listen entranced to liquid notes that rival the loveliest song of the mocking- bird he jars you with perfect imitations of a keg of nalls falling down uncar- peted stairs. Can Be Dude or Vagabond. “When he gives careful attention to his dress, he parades as a sleek little slate-colored dude. A moment later he may become grouchy, ruffie his feathers, droop his tail and take on the appear- ance of a vagabond. His moods change with bewlldering swiftness and without any apparent cause, except the peculiar complexes in his make-up. “The robin is the rfect type of solid and self-respecting gentleman. His self-] fon seldom fails him. He is dignified and industrious. Though blessed with a good disposition, he is not afraid of a fight when it is forced on him and invariably gives a good ac- count of himself. As a husband he is faithful and attentive. Devoted to his children, he helps take care of them and is at all times a good provider.” ‘The Kentucky cardinal Martin de- scribed as “a nobleman <who in his re- lations with his family retainers | ceremonial. A scarlet flash in the sun- shine, he was elegant in his habits, a me that the Kentucky cardinals have a well-defined tribal or feudal organization in which ancestor worship plays a big rt. He and his wife were among my first customers. The following Summer they brought up.a family of two. The next Summer these children found mates, built’ their nests somewhere near the sanitarium and fed their youngsters with food carried from the inn. Deference Is Shown Cardinal. wmMilord Cardinal was unmistakable. In addition to the dulling of his raiment, he was occasionally a little dull and un- kempt looking, as if he had reached the age that paid little attention to trivial- ties of dress. Sometimes he showed up with one of his long feathers out of place or dragging on the ground, like an absent-minded old man with half his suspenders hanging down. His wife treated him Wit His children always gave him place, His grandchildren were still more hum- ble when he was about. “One of the first laws of the cardinal’s social system is that the head of the faimily takes his meals in solitary grandeur. He finishes eating and leaves his dining room before any member of his clan presumes to enter it. When he ate he permitted his wife to sit a yard |or so away. She did this with inex- haustible patience, apparently glad to watch her lord leisurely feeding. But he yielded no such privilege to their descendants. Children and grandchil- dren kept well away from him at meal times. If one of them, mistaking the hour, lit on an oak tree nearby or on a | fin telephone wire he would leave off eating long enough to strike 4 blow for discipline. “At all hours and in all circumstances the whole family gave him a pretty wide berth. He appeared to have weighty problems to ponder. He did much self- communing. Birddom Has Underworld. ‘The underworld of birddom, says Mt tin, “is made up of blue } hawks, crows and owls. The blue jay is the worst sneak thief and burglar of them all. He is a bully and a coward. He loves to blow, brag and bully. The en- mity between the bue jay and the robin | ;e is as instinctive and certain as that be- tween dogs and cats. The jay will not fight, but during the nesting season he hangs on the robin’s flanks, making fake attacks, screaming and plaguing until the robin runs him off.” ‘The red-headed woodpecker is the most methodical gentleman I have ever encountered among the feathered tribe,” Martin continues. ‘“He is a particular and pernickety as an old maid and set in his ways as an old bachelor. Hav- ing discovered the best way to do & thing, he sticks to it with the accuracy of an adding machine. Unfortunately, he has a terrible reputation as a robber of other birds’ nests. Except for this I belleve there would long ago have been & suggestion that he be made the na- tional bird of this country. His coloring | dri is almost exactly that of our flag.

Foran, controller of the port of New York, by the Anti-Saloon League of New Jersey were heard yes- terday in a letter forwarded to Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, by Ernest S. Braidwood, discharged customs.agent. The letter purported to disclose a con- spiracy among customs officials at New York to nullify the prohibition law. It charged corruption and asserted that Norris should include an investigation of the Customs Bureau in his resolution to authorize a Senate inquiry into en- forcement conditions. Foran, whose nomination for reap- pointment is was charged with opposing the dry laws and with being “personally unsympa- thetic to prohibition.” Despite opposi- tion from the New Jersey League, Senators Kean and Baird of New Jer- sey recommended the reappointment of Foran.
