EARLY NESTS By SAMUEL SCOVILLE, Jr. How tnuv birds' nests have you found this curl May l the treat month to learn the birds. Now comes June, the nesting month. In every fleld and patch of woods and along evry road side birds nests are hidden. Krom now until well Into July you can (Ind nests on every walk If you know where and how to look Every time you find one you will feel as If you had suddenly discovered some burled treasure. There are few pleasanter things In the world than n bird's-nesting wnlk only don't take the cngs. lllrds have ft hard enough timo to bring up broods on account of storms and cats and hawks and bluejy and crom and blarksmkfi and cowblrdj without hnvlnR boya added to their list of enemies It U moro fun, as well as more scientific, to make a record of each i.est you find and to write n description of It and make notes when the errs hatch and when the young birds are able to (1 rather than to destroy the wholo family by taking the eggs Already most of tho early birds are nesting I found two wood-dove neats In April, and a friend of mine saw one which was drifted oyer two feet deep with si ow during the April billiard. The mother-bird sat close over ths eggs and kept them warm until the anow molted olT the nest and nevr stirred ort It for three days. I have about a doien robins' nests on my list. On May If) three of Us found a nest In a crimson rambler vino with a )oung btrl Just coming out of tho shell He had kicked off half tho ehcll and was trying - to get his heid and shoulders out of tho other half. We helped him and he opened his mouth very wide, which expressed gratitude In robin language On that same oo, In in old tree garden, we found a Carollra wrtn's nest At that spot I hJd aluaya heard a Carolina uren sing Us loud "whce-oodle, whee-oodle," and a week before 1 had heaid young birds, but could not find th nest. Today as I climbed over tho wall I nearly stepped, on It. The birds were gone, hut there was the nest made of dr green morB at the loot of a rhododen dron bush and hollonod out of a bank of leaves. The nest Itseir was made of roots and lined with lot g horsehairs and was about five Inches deep. It loot ed something llko an oven hlrd s nest with Its side entrance nnd over hanging roof On that sumo day we found a bluejay's nest In a crotch In a tree by the side of the road, about 1 feet up. Tho neu wns made of ticks like a email crow's nest and contained me greenish-brown speckled eggs. It seemed strange for ence to see a bluejay perfectly qul. The bird slipped off the nest like n shadow without a sound, although usually It Is the noisiest of all the birds. When It got some atstaiKu away however, It Lould not hold in any longer and gave a tremendous squeal. On May 17 I found a brown thrasher's nest with two eggs lr It near my house The neat vvns made of loaree twigs lined with roots and the eggs were white, thtcklv speckled with reddjh brown, Tho nest was however, do serted and I presume It was the fault of some of my neighbors' hojse cats which spend their tiUhts In cntihlng birds on their nests. In a little burn Just oil my sUeptng punh was n song-sparrow's nest made of grus3 with one radish-brown egg, but also deserted. As 1 looked at It. I wished that I could pass n cat-.urlew act under which all cats would be compelled to stay at home after tl o'clock In the evening Jn thn garden hangs a swinging box with a hole In It where a bluebird has its nest and on Mnv (i there were little bluebirds In It. As the nest swings from a wire It Is bnfo from eats and from English sparrows. On April 2" under tho eaves of a enrlnghouso I found a phoebe's neit mado of bright green moss and lined with down and feithers nnd containing four pure white eggs. The phoebe. On spite of l.r mild vvns. Is n, brave llttlo firrtL friend told mo of a woman who wlliKtD stop a robin from nesting In n tree Just over where she had a hammock. She ar-ordlmils vrot a large stuffed cat and nnlled him on a nearby limb. Tho robins Rave up that nest at once Lator on she tried the same plan with two phoebes who were nest ing on the side of her porch nnd nailed the cat there and wont nwny for n week. When she cimo back she found that the phoebes hid built their nest against tho head of tho est. In a rrevlous article I wrolo about a flicker which, with great preeenco of mind, bored a hrlo and mado Its nest under n sign which said "No shooting here." Not long after I found that nest I was passing a telegraph pole- and heard a tapping which seomd to come from the other side of the pole. I walked around and around, but could nnt find who was making tha noise Finally, from a knot hole a long beak came out and I recognized Mrr. Flicker, who was Instde the pole hollow ing out her nest. On May 20 In a tussock at the edge of a awampv pasture we found n grass nrst lined Willi hair. In It vvero four large, bluish-white . eggs, nil scrawled nnd blotched with curious black marks which looked like Arabic writing. This was tho neat of the red-vvlnged black bird. On May S3 wo round another one without any eggs, and JUBt beside It a bird flew up showing white tail-feathers There In the long grass was a dome-shaped neBt mado of dried grass, with an entrance on the side and which contained five largo white eggs, four of which vere covered with tine brown specks. Tho fifth was a white egg with coarse brown eporo ml it- ii hub iirj ucai uv him ,ncuumr-,aii alwas a hard nest to find and usunlly found bj accident, as this one was This Is tho last nest which I have found to date My first on? was that of a pair of white-breasted nut hatches, who made their neat In a hole In a tulip tree, Every morning when I passed It I would see a little black head with white cheeks peering out of the hole This was Mother Nut-hatch. Father Nut-hatch spent hln tlmo In bringing her various appetizing bugs. Don't forget to keep a neat record along with your bird lists. Scouts Pass Tests Scouts Jack P.

VALLEY FORGE, SACRED IN THE MEMORY OF ALL AMERICANS, VISITED ON FIFTH "VACATIONETTE" If -""sVwiSISSSs,, VAUEY p& FORCE GOLPh n A I eu&i8FHu raoixgy Thousands of men, women and children in Philadelphia arc denied an opportunity to net away from the heat and dirt of the city during the summer. Few cities in the East are mora advantageously situated for short, refresh ing, economical trips to the country than is Philadelphia, and it is in consideration of tho two facts that the EVENING Ledger has decided to give its readers, each week, the outline of a "vacationette." Representatives of the Evening Ledger take these trips personally, in advance, with an eye to determining the exact coat for fares and meals, and the points of recreation, scenic value and historic interest. Realizing that the expense attached to these jaunts is an important consideration with those who are unable to go to the shore or the wiouifatn8, ftis matter is given in exact figures. Many oivners of automobiles also are kept at home during part of the summer, and for their convenience tho automobile routes through the same territory arc given along with the trolley trips. A map of both auto and trolley routes, with points of particular interest, accompanies each article. Cut out the articles and tho maps, so that when you arc ready to tako a short trip you will find the them of interest and assistance. This is the fifth trip.

All trolley routes pass through beau tiful woods and fields, thnt are delight ful sites for basket lunches. Norrls town has several hotels, vvheto good meals may be had at moderate prices. There are also fine hotels at Vnlley Forge and Port Kennedy. This week we went to Valley Forge. The name nlono Is synonymous with ro mance, history and beauty. Tno first sight of the low hills rising in back of the Schuylkill River nnd on both sides of the Valley Creek shows how well the country was suited for the purpose to which General Washington put It. Tho route to Valley Forgo Is the same as to Lansdaie as far as Norrlstown. From the latter city wo had to chango for a Philadelphia nnd Hcadlns train, which took us a few miles up the Schuyl kill to our destination. Last week we explained In detail the beauties of t'ne scenery through Bryn Mawr, Vlllnnova. Darren Hill nnd other suburban points to Norrlstown. All that remains now Is to add that the ride along the banks of the Schuylkill tc Valley Forgo Is filled with beauties of nnother kind. The river Is compaia tlvely shallow In this vicinity and mean ders nround in the wide old river bed in n manner that is very Interesting to stu dents of geology. Foot hills rlso from both banks of the river In beautiful curves HISTOnY OF VALLEY FORGE Valley Forge was occupied by Wash ington and tho American Army from De cember 19, 1777, to June 19 of the next j ear By consummate generalship ho hnd foiled Howe's attempted plan to cut across New Jersey, nnd the British were forced to lend their assault on Philadel phia from the South, Washington made n stand at Brandywlne, but was be trayed. However, he managed to save his army from destruction and withdrew in good order. Then followed lonp; weeks of marching and counter-marching, dur ing which Valley Forge becamo the slto of a British camp, Philadelphia was oc cupied by Howe and the bold attack upon Germantown failed. We had already visited the scenes of the Brandywlne catastrophe on our vaca tionettes to Kennett Square and to Contesvllle. Last week we passed through tha principal points In the Battle of Ger mantown. Our latest trip took us to tho final rallying grounds of the ragged and half-starved patriots. VALLEY FORGE STATE PARK. The State of Pennsylvania has pur chased nearly E00 acres of land, occupied by the troops during that terrible winter of 1777-78, and large sums havo since been spent on converting the property Into a playground for the people. Included In the park Is Washington's headquarters. This Is Just behind the station. The build ing Is In a wonderful state of preserva tion, and is Just as the Commander-in-Chief left It, with old windows. latches and bolts. Even the secret receptacle In which Washington kept his private pa pers remains intact. The hills rise directly In back of the house. The entrenchments were built on these heights which command both tho river and the roads. Broad and well-kept boulevards have been bultt bj the State along the line of the low ditches dug by the Colonial soldiers.
