WHOLE STATE ASTIR
FOR GOOD ROADS DAY
Army of 150,000 Men Expected
Ato Engage in Work Tomor
row. HARniSBURG, May 25. One hundred
and fifty thousand men will bo on the
roads of tho State tomorrow, according
to a statement Issued today by tho State
Highway Department. Tho Department
has been In touch with the organizations
In 62 of tho 66 counties outsldo of Phil
adelphia, and has secured this prelimi
nary estimate as to the number of men
pledged to work. With clearing weather
reported from virtually nil points In tho
State, It Is expected that the original
Good Roads Day plans wilt be carried
out In nearly every county. In thoso
counties where rainfall was so heavy that
two days of clear weather will not But- '
flee to dry the roads enough to work, post- I
ponement may be had until Wednesday, I
June 2.
Governor Brumbaugh, having placed his i
services at the disposal of the State High- !
way Department, Is to accompany First
"Deputy State Highway Commissioner
Joseph "W. Hunter and the Statistician of
the Department on a trip through Cum-b-rland
County, during which tho Gov
ernor will have an opportunity to show
his skill as a road-maker.
Commissioner Cunningham will leave
Pittsburgh early In the morning and will
spend the day In a tour of Allegheny and
Washington Counties. During the rest of
the week, Commlsloner Cunningham will
Inspect the work In the western and
northwestern counties.
Chief Engineer W. D. Uhlor wltl leave
for Philadelphia late this afternoon and
will spend "State-wide Good Roads Day"
In Chebter, Delaware, Montgomery and

burg and tho Lykens Valley to Inspect
the work being done there.
"BACK .TO BABIES" MOVE
Ladies of the Maccabees to Advance
Orphan Adoption Plan.
Which do you love the best, a baby,
a dog or kitten? Would you rather
fondle and bring up a little human waif
or are your loving tendencies satisfied
with a prize pomeranlan or angora?
Tho Ladles of the Maccabees want to
know, Ad If your answer Is the way
they think it ought to be, they will pro
vide you with an orphan to receive your
affections.
Steps to counteract the pet-loving wave,
which seems to be Bweeplng unchecked
through the country, are being taken
by the ladles, who are meeting in a three
day conference In New York, and if their
plans are carried out Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia will see a decrease In the
number of women 'whose principal oc
cupation In life seems to be leading a
cos around on a string.
The "back to the babies" movement
was launched In Michigan with good re
sults. Already many of the women or.
that State who have no children of their
own have given up their pets and adopted
children. According to Mrs. Alberta
Droelle, the pioneer of the crusade, thero
are infinitely more destitute children In
need of care and attention than there
are animals, and once a woman's affec
tion Is transferred from a dog to a child
nothing can get It away. It U expected
the movement will become nation wide.
WIIO GAVE OUT THAT LETTER?
This Is the Question Puzzling Wil
mington Commerce Chamber.
WILMINGTON, Dei., May 25. Who
gave out the letter which the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce sent to the New
Caatle County Levy Court, suggesting
that an Investigation of county affairs be
held? This Is the question that la agitat

unlet the levy court made It public The
levx curt referred it to the body as a
committee of the whole and no action
Ita yet been taken. Yet the letter was
printed in one of the local newspapers in

ITALY'S SONGBIRDS
IMMUNE FROM WAR
Most of Country's Operatic
Stars Are Above the Military
Age.
As It happens, no Italian singers of
prominence liable to military service were
in Italy nt tho opening of hostilities.
Those singers and conductors who have
been visiting their native country are
all over tho ago of 33, tho maximum age
for reservists, and thero will be no
obstacles in tho way of their returning
to America, unless Italy should dccldo
to call for men over 33.
Caruso is now In Buenos Aires, and,
while ho expected to spend a few months
at his home In Italy, It Is taken for
granted by his friends thnt he will re
turn to New York, where Scottl Is now
living, as well as I'anqunle Amato, Luca

Wallttnff 4hH,itnh a irrnvn lll.t hnnrt.
heard a vlreo' s tonic, which eeetred slower and
louder and came In ft series of two notes. In
a inlnuio with my field glass I saw the bright
ellow throat and brenst of the jellowthroated
ylreo, which Is a rarer bird than tho red-es.ed.
Later on in the day down In the swamp l
lunrd the esplostvc "chlp-whco-woo" of tho
whlte-ced vlreo, which, like tho catbird, Is a
mocker and Imitates other birds, tn the same
swamp through which Darby Creek runs 1
nearu a bird say solemnly In the thicket, too
loo.' Then followed a whlstlo'and a number
of clucking, mowing Bounds and I rocognlied
the jcllow -breasted chat, a brown bird with u
)ollow tin-out and breast Just as I was coming
out of thl swamp, on a low buah I saw n.
magnificent bird with an ashy head, a yellow
throat and n ellow breast and aides streaked
with black. It was Iho magnolia warbler, ono
of the most spectacular ot mat lamlly and my
Ilrst uno this year. As 1 passed through a
little pasture on the edge of tho swamp, 1
heard a monotonous littlo song and saw against
the Kky n dark blue bird about tho alia of an
hngllsli sparrow nnd recognized tbo indigo
bunting, ns rich a bluo as the tanagcr la red,
On tho edge of tho woods a bird commenced
to say ' teachcr'toachcr" apparently a long
way off, but ended up with a tremendous
"THACIinill" right under my feet. It was
tho oven-bird wuh his speckled breast ana
golden-crowned head. In a littlo clearing fur
ther on I heard a lacy drawling nolo which
sounded like "awec-choe," a moBt casual In
different little song and a moment later 1
saw a little yellow-breasted bird with n black
lino ainnlng through each eye and rocognlzed
the blue-winged warbler. 0er an old quarry
1 taw a awltt with his twinkling wings, a
bnrn-awallow with his forked tail nnd a
ruugh-winged swallow with a whitish un
marked breast which was nesting in tho quarry.
Xlejond was a awnmpy meadow and from out
tho snamp-grnes came a sparrow with n red
head and red-patched wings, tho swamp
apanow, not a ciy common bird.
in a field coming homo I heard the field
sparrow, which has a pink beak with an un
marked brdat. nnd a song ilka a. littlo silver
Mute, one of tho sweetest of tho singers, Tho
whlto-throated sparrows, with their minor
notts, white throats and white-striped heads,
were still abundant, and I henrd a number
ot tho rich whistling calls of tho cardinal
grosbeak. Passing an applo treo I heard tho
"per-chlckerce," ami recognized tho up-nnd-tloun
(tight of the goldfinch, with his yellow
body and black wings. Kcry wot meadow
waa filled with red wine blackbird, with crim
son Blioulder stripes, and all through tho day
I heard tho harsh cries and the strango creak
ing notes ot tho lilucjays. Three ot tho fly
catchers, beside tho wood iiuwce, appeared
that day. Thero was the phoebc, which was
nesting -under a bridge, and which I told by
ItK bobbing toll even beforo I heard tho note
which Rae It tho lame. A kingbird darted
Into tho air from a low treo and 1 recognized
it by the black tall with white tips add
black head. All through tho day f could
heat tho harsh shriek of tho great crested
Myctcher, which has a crested head nnd a
cllow breast, and always builds a nest with
an old snakeskln in it for a mascot.
Along Darby Creek I finally heard tho
rntt!lng call of tho kingfisher, and got a
gllmpso of a great gray, bluo and whlto bird
Hashing along the water with a small fish In
its Mil Jum artir that 1 heard a rapping and
caught sight of a downy woodpecker with Its
black nnd white plumago and scarlet patch
at tho back ot Us head
Towards the end ot tho day 1 had two ad
enttircs. Ono was when t heard a harsh,
equaling call from a dead tree, something
like a blurjay, and through my fleldglasscjs
saw the bright red head and black and white
body of the red-heuded woodpecker, ono or
tho most beautiful of tho American wood-
pekern. Tho other waa In passing through
u moadew when a flock of blackblrdn, with
snowy shoulders, heads and lower bucks, flew
up. They Founded n musical tinkling note as
they flow, and I recognized a Hock of bobo
links on their way North. On the crest of
Jtadnar Hill I hoard a squeaking note, some
thing like a cow bird, and saw tho first starling
which 1 hac ever found In Ilosemont, al
though thcra aro flocks in nearby towns.
I forgot to say that on Darby Creek I searod
up no less than fle ot tho greon heron, usually
a rare bird with me. Late In the flay, too, I
saw a warbler with a ellow breast and n
perfect little necklace of block Btripcs around
Its throat. It was tho Canada warbler and tho
first ono that 1 hau teen this year. Tho last
bird on my 1IM I got Just nt dusk. All day
I had looked for It without success, but as I
was crossing a hill pasture a gray sparrow
hopped up on a bar ppdt and as it flew I saw
tho two whlto tali feathers which Is the field
mark of tho vesper sparrow. This completed
my list of Od and broke my record by 4. If
only I had found tho buzzard, which Is usually
common; tho sparrow hiwk, which nests in tho
field near me, the warbling vlreo, which
usually find in a certain orchard; tho roso
breasted, grosbeak which haunts Roberts road,
and tho corn bird, which idlnks around my
ard In littlo groups. I would havo had tho
,0. which marks all expert blrdlst.
Tho Into comers or tho migrants are still
passing through and tho residents are all here,
so start out tomorrow with your book nnd field
glass and be.gln to be a blrdlst.

Hints for Overnight Hikes
By AARON SMITH
Assistant Scoutmaster Troop 0i.
Gettysburg Scout Scribe.
In view of tho fact that the coming warm
weather will cause many ot the troops to
start a series ot overnight hikes, i
coming encampment at Haddonfleld,
tfw
hints of what not to forget on these hikes
vtuuiu noi oo out ot piaco, in my experience,
I havo found that much of tho Joy of over
night hiking and week-end camps Is lost
through the fact that some very necessary
equipment was forgotten. It seems that as a
rulo tho thought that tho camp is only for
a day or two leads tho scout to bellce that
ho can get along without many things which,
when ho reaches tho camp, ho finds that ho
needs badly.
Perhaps tho most Important part of Iho
camp equipment Is an axe. No matter If tho
niko la for a day, a month or n year, an nxo
is necessary. Lamps or lanterns aro another
Important part of the oqulpment which aro
usually torgotlen. Candle lamps will be found
the best for camping, where carbon lamps aro
not obtainable. Oil lamps aro to bo used as
ilttlo as possible, as thero Is always danger of
their being kicked over and tho oil leaking
out. It should also bo remembered that thu
nights aro Just as chill as the days aro warm,
and thero Is no such thing as too many blan
kets In camp. For sleeping purposes some pro
tection ehould bo prepared against dampness;
a concha will best servo this purpose. Sleeping
bags should also bo made up. These can
bo easily mado by making a snek of ticking,
left open nt ono end. This can bo filled with
grass, or. In tho caio of tho Haddonneld en
campment, with straw, and makes a much
softer bed than tho baro ground could possibly
afford
Ater nnltu nr-n niinltiA. Imiu.i.nt I,.-.
uno of theeo should be provldod with a cover,
no that water can bo kept without dust
and dirt falling Into it. A ladle ahould also bo
proyldod, so that water can be dipped up
without every fellow dipping his cup into tho
pall. Each scout should not fail to provldo
nlnuclf with eating utensils. A plate, bowl,
knife, fork and Bpoon aro necessary, and earn
scout should carry his utensils In a sack.
There Bhould also bo provided aetoral largo
spoons for serving. As personal cleanliness
enters Into camp life as much as In city life,
tho Individual scout should not forget to bring
with him the articles noccesary for his toilet,
At tho Haddonfleld encampment those scouts
who expect to go In swimming should proMo
themselves with bathing suits and towels.
Now troops who nro going out for their first
overnight hlko would do well to Inspect their
equipment before going, and make sum that
ecr thing that Is necessary Is Included.
