United States Senator Boies PEN
rose, who was here on Saturday night
on his way from Pittsburgh to Phila-
deiphia, made a remark that ought to
interest every Pennsylvania of
means who can not go abroad because
or the war and, incidentally, which
shows that he and Governor Martin
q. Brumbaugh agree in their admira-
ton of the scenery of their native
State. The Senator said that he had
Just come over the Alleghenies by
automobile and that he expected to
go over them again. II have been
going over the mountains of Pennsyl-
Vania by automobile a good bit lately
and have especially enjoyed the trips
| nave taken the last week. | got 10

Your city lies right where the noun
tains begin and you have scenery,
within few miles which people are
commencing to appreciate. Years
ago. when ! first came to Harrisburg,
used to enjoy your surroundings and
with the highways being developed /
think that thousands will soon know
more about the beauties of this sec
ton of the State. Pennsylvania {
abounds in places which are we'll
worth visit and the mountains car

You know / think that every man who
can ought to take couple of trips
year across the Alleghenies."
whats the reason people do nd
take more interest in Arbor Day? Is
1t because planting time can not al
ways be relied upon to furnish
ideal day or are we letting the othS
fellow do IT," asked one of the city
businessmen yesterday. I've been
tending to plant trees every year Y
the last dozen years and | h5y
planted two lilac bushes in my Var
ana let my family take care of them
l guess it's the same with most every-l
one else. We get up and recite
| 'Woodman, spare that tree and sub
scribe to forestry movements anfRthen
we forget all about it until I'VE read
the Governors Arbor Day proclama-
ton when we make a note to buy

Day regularly"
James n. Moore, director Of the
State Legislative Reference Bureau, is
| latest publication of that valuable
/ branch of the State government-the
| text of the constitutions with analyti-
cal index and cross references. This
publication, which seems to have
been desired for the last thirty years
was prepared after months of work
in the bureau and there are indica-
tions that the edition will be too small
the demand being greater than antici-
pated. One of the most valuable fea-
/ lures is the material showing the
development of each section of the
constitution. Mr.. Moore, who served
in the Legislature and was the parlia-
IFr,l 70 rio fnr Il i
rected the work and had the hearty
cooperation of staff of experts as
Eeenly interested as himself.
The Spring migration of birds may
be said to be in full swing just now,
the feathered travellers being appar-
emily satisfied that the cold weather
is over in the Northern States and that
they may safely venture in house
hunting tours without incurring the
danger of waking up in snowstorm
some morning. There have been more
birds about the city's parks and on
the farms near the limits than usual,
many of them having halted here be-
cause of the cooler weather to the
north. incidentally, the encourage
ment given to robins has caused hun
dreds of the redbreasts to gather in
the parks.
Joe and Teddy, the Paxtang Park
bears, the rabbits and groundhogs and
birds in Wildwood Park and the fat
robins in Reservoir Park have dis
placed the Capitol Park squirrels and
pigeons as the popular pets. Yester-
day was such a fine day that hundreds
of folks who have been passing through
Capitol Park on their Sunday after
noon walks turned to the outlying
parks for their strolls. The PaxtanE
zoo was popular for many youngsters
and Reservoir Park grassy slopes were
filed with youngsters who watched
the robins and other birds with de-
light.

Opening of the golf courses about
the city this year is not going to wait
for the weather. The late Spring has
caused those with a liking for out
door sports to be eager and the
chances are that a good many greens
} and tennis courts. as well, will be
used ct the earliest possible moment
