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.

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.

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

which took us a few miles up the Schuyl

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. The boulevards ex-
