The prominent part the 146 national
forests play in the recreational activi-
ties and outdoor life Is emphasized by
the fact that almost 10000. 900 persons
visited these forests during 1928. ac-
cording to the final tabulation made by
the forest service. United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The Importance of the automobile as
a means of conveyance to recreation
seekers is shown by the further fact
that more than eight out OF ten forest
visitors. or more than 100000, came
in privately-owned cars.

Trenchers of Wood
Often Works Of Art

Wooden trenchers, commonly called
"treen" were in common use during the
Middle ages In Great Britain. "Masers'
or cups and bowls were frequently men
toned In Wills and inventories. The
finer specimens belonged to the richer
abbeys-thus, there was the Great
Maser at York, the Judas Cup at Dur
ham. and at st. Savior's, Southwark,
there was "a maser with bordour and
knop Of sylyer and gilt which was
given to the church wardens to drink
when they mete" These valuable
wooden cups were sometimes orna-
mented by rim of silver, but other
wise they were seldom decorated by
more than few low holdings or in
cised lines. Their value and beauty
lay in the granting of the wood, gen.
orally maple, and the old turner's
chose the part Of the trunk where it
divided of into branches so as to OBJ
tain the speckled bird's-eye granting.
By Tudor times pewter began to take
the place Of treen. though poorer folk
continued to use these wooden trench
ers and bowls till much later, especial
ly in the north Of England and IN Scot
land.

Birds That Keep Up
With the Procession,

Many species Of birds have shown
that they are possessed Of a progress
sive spirit that has prompted them to
take advantage Of improved conditions
offered by the advance Of civilization.
Thus, says an exchange, the chimney
swift, which before houses with CHM
neys were built, lived and built its
nests In hollow trees, now usually finds
chimneys more satisfactory and inf
nitely safer.
The barn swallow, which formerly
built it's nest on a ledge on the side
Of some cliff or cave, a situation still
sometimes utilized in the wilder parts
Of the country, now generally makes
use Of the rafters of barns as offer
ing better protection both from the
elements and his enemies
The natural nesting place Of the
phoebe Is a narrow ledge on the face
of some cliff, but the greater majority
now find that bridges. .outhouses and
other man-made structures offer more
advantageous situations. and a pair Is
rarely found occupying the former
site. The martins and wrens, which
once nested in hollow trees exclusive
ly, now prefer the bird boxes built by
kindly human beings when they can
find one before It is pre-empted by the
ubiquitous English sparrow.
