kept, Only short distance farther We
found our FIRST family out on a vaca-
tionette.
From Manoa, just beyond the Bon Air
| Country Club, we reached Eagle. The
| aviation grounds OF the Aero Club OF
| Pennsylvania are situated here. The
next stop WAS Darby Creek, and the cool
/ water running over the stones was so
inviting we could not resist the tempta-
| tion to get off and follow the brook for q
short distance. 1t is an ideal spot for
families with children, on the one hand,
and also for those who like the solitary
intimacy OF a brookside. It Is but another
| short ride to Broomall Grove. The country
| is more In the nature of farmland and
fields here, and there is less woodland
than at Darby Creek. The fare to this
point is only 10 cents.
UP HILL AND DOWN DALE.
Until this time we had run along on
fairly level ground but at fair height.
But the character Of the country took on
an altogether different aspect as we
turned southwark after leaving Newtown
Square. We seemed to be travelling on
glorifed scenic railway. UP one side of
hill, down another, around~a sharp curve
and then suddenly along a level stretch
commanding a view of miles around. At
other times we were running along the
floor of n valley
Castle Rock. This is an undeveloped park
owned by the Philadelphia and West
Chester Traction Company and gets its
name from a large rock which projects
go feet into the air from the top of a
hill. The entire country about is in virgin
condition, for no effort has been made
to create n recreation centre or residen-
tial section out of it. 1t is too beautiful
as II stands. The fare to Castle Rock
is 90 cents.
Before going further and in this con-
nection II may be we'll to remark that
There are n quantity of good springs with
fresh, crystal water throughout the en-
tire section covered in this vacation
ette. Crum Creek is the small stream
seen between Newtown Square and West
Chester
Edgemont is soon passed. After leaving
this station a fine view is had of miles
of forest-covered hills. From the top
OF the hill where we had this view the
car makes a deep dip into beautiful
valley. Before reaching Street road we
saw one of the best-kept farms In this sec
ton of the country. 1t Is a 1O00-acre tract
owned by Doctor Ashton and known as the
Delchester Farms. 1t is a model of mod
ern scientific farm management. Some
paper mills are situated to the west of
Street road The only other point of in
terest between here and West Chester
Is the County Fair Grounds
There Is really little to be described in

Last night the Philomathean Society
of the University of Pennsylvania revived
once more Dekker's good old comedy
THE Shoemaker's Holiday" A novel
and pleasing feature of the performance
at the Little Theatre was the abandon
ment of the ordinary scenery, which to-
day mars so many college productions by
its insufficiency, and the adoption of the
Ellzabethan methods of sign boards and
simple props"
Among those in the cast were Alfred
Baker Lewis, Park B. Turner Arnold
Belcher, Ernest f. Hausser, Il. Ralph
Cheyney, Elwood L. Haines. Charles C.
Butterworth, Ralph E. Cleland, Fri p.
Walton, Robert f. Spiler, n. r. C. Fretz.

''Nacation-etting" Is a rare treat This
weeks trip, tho second, was the most
enjoyable that the EVENING LEDGER path
finders had taken in years. We went to
Coatesville through beautiful Chester
County, stopping at West Chester and
Downingtown. For several miles we fol-
lowed the East Branch of the Brandy
wine River.
In that 6G-mile ride we found a splendid
justification of our belief In trolley rid
ing into the country as respite from
heat and dirt. With the mercury play
ing tag with the top of the thermometer
we We're cool and comfortable while rid
ing in the cars and not uncomfortably
warm as we rambed through the fields
and woods near the car tracks.
Even at this comparatively early date
several women and children, unmistak-
ably branded with the city mark. were
availing themselves of the gories of the
country. And the joy which lighted their
faces was a wonderful sight! In some
ways this vacation-ette is far more de-
srable than the previous one for fam
ilies with children, because the distances
are short and the places to stop off much
more frequent.
The Wilmington-K Kennett Square-Avon-
dale trip is tiresome or uninteresting, but
the ride to Coatesville and return is Sc
miles, whereas the other Is 10.
Frankly, 1t did seem, however, that all
the beauty and attractiveness which were
spread over the greater distance the week
before were compressed into the three
score miles. The rolling country between
this city and Coatesville unfolded itself
in ever-changing vari-colored pictures.
Handsome residences We'd with pink and
white orchards or green fields for atten-
tion, and these, in turn, gave way to the
call of a suddenly opened, wde-spreading
vista. or the delights of a winding val
ley.

time is so minutes.
FOR 'AUToISTS.
Two roads are open for the'autoist leav-
ing Philadelphia. He may go out Lam
caster avenue to the Philadelphia and
Lancaster turnpike direct to Coatesvilie.
or he may follow the West Chester pike
TO Newtown Centre, then ,turn to the right
to Paoli, striking the Lancaster pike
AM t~ aIr
Chester pike to West Chester, and then
to Whtford and down to Coatesvile. but
the road after Newtown Centre is not as
good as the others indicated. The auto
mobile route TO Kennett Square from
West Chester Is excellent.

Especial Correspondent Of The Herald)
New York. March S.-GOtham is trying
desperately to mitigate the Sunday bill
that is to lift the ban for strangers and
seekers after harmless amusement on
Sundays. 1t has been a cold city for
them since the law became effective ban
ishing theatrical performances and base
ball games on Sunday.
The theaters tried to get around the
law by giving Sunday concerts" but the
restrictions We're SO severe that the
crowds do not come. City Chamberlain
Bruere in an address before the Associa-
ton of Theater Managers. indicated that
there should be cooperation to alter this
state OF affairs.
1t is pointed out by theatrical men that
many large cities permit Sunday theatri-
cal performances and that it does not
contribute to moral degradation OF the
populace or the strangers within the
gates. The same thing is true of Sunday
baseball, it is argued, which exists here
only when played by amateur teams.
Editors are not the only persons who
receive amusing letters. Take for in
stance the following received by the bust
ness manager of Harper's Magazine:
Dear sirs: Last month l sent your
company s. and I didn't get no receipt.

GAS WASTED BY BILLION FEET.
Price Driven Up by Losses. Lane

An account of the waste of one of the
nations greatest natural resources was
given yesterday at the hearing before
Secretary of the Interior Lane in the
biggest oil land deal ever made in the
world-the So. OOI. 900 Usage Indian lease.
c. B. Ames. Of Oklahoma city. said
that billions OF feet of gas have been
wasted in oklahoma
The usual price has been 21-2 cents,
but it has sold already as high as I
cents" he said.
Mr.. Ames, who represents the Usage
and Oklahoma Gas Company. operating
ia. 900 acres of land for gas in the south
crn part OF the Usage Indian Territory,
said the waste on the Usage land was
less than anywhere else In Indian Terri
tory.
Present at the hearing were Chief
Ashemahre and Assistant Chief Perry
King OF the Usage Indians. attired In
their picturesque regalia. The question
is on the rental of existing leases on the
lands of the Usage Indians.
