he peeped over the bank there on
stone just at the edge of the water
was small, very trim person, bobbing
and bowling and teetering as the rip
ples washed against the stone.
Hello, Teeter! Where are the chill
dren?" Peter called.
The small, trim person looked up.
Hello, Peter! For goodness sake,
don't call me Teeter. Haven't you
learned to tell us apart yet? As for
the children, don't know where they
are. I haven't seen them," was the
reply; ,.o.,,,s Data, .p.rdon tho
if you ask me, you ought to know
where the children are. You ought
to be taking care Of them"
"I didn't ask you," retorted Mrs.
Teeter. "As for the children, am not
worrying about them. Their father is
quite able to look after them. BY the
way, did all those eggs hatch?"
"That is something you can hnd out
for yourself" snapped Peter. You
ought to be ashamed Of yourself to go
off and leave all the family cares to
Teeter. It is outrageous. That is what
1t is, outrageous"

promptly. "She couldn't get away
from the dear Old Briar-patch If she
wanted to-"
"Why not? You seem to be able
to-" said Mrs. Teeter guilelessly.
"She has to look after the babies"
replied Peter I'VE have five of them
and she cannot leave them. They take
every minute of her time"
why aren't you over there helping
her?" inquired Mrs. Teeter sweetly.
"Oh, that is her business" replied
Peter "She takes all the care OF the
babies while they are little"
while you have nothing to do but
wander about and have a good time"
said Mrs. Teeter.
WE'LL" began Peter, and paused.
'Well, what?" snapped Mrs. Teeter.
"Well, there really isn't anything
can do" said Peter rather lamely.
you could stay at home and keep
guard over them. You could keep Mrs.
Peter company" snapped Mrs. Teeter.
But no. you are of, having q good
time, quite satisfied to leave all the
care and worry of the family to Mrs.
Peter. And then you have the nerve
to criticize me for doing the same
thing. You are no better as a father
than am as a mother. Think 1t over,

N May. In some sections the

already, and in others 1t will
commence before long.
What are you going to do with your
vacation this year?
That is an important question. The
world is learning, slowly but surely.
not be able to tell exactly what we
shall do on a special date in the Sum-
mer, but in general way we can out
line the months to come, even the
years to come.
School days usually go along smooth

Summer vacation comes there Is a
problem about use Of time. Doing
nothing" is no fun. Normal persons
want to do something every day,
whether that something is play or work
I know a 12-year-old girl who has
been in the custom for several years
Of spending her Summer vacations on
a farm with her grandparents. That
seems to me an excellent change from
city life. IT'S said that some children
in crowded cities have never seen q
real, live COW! Weeks or months on
a farm win give a city child a new
outlook on many things.
Many boys and girls win not be
able to have a vacation away from
their home town, but wherever they
may stay, there can be new adven-
ture Take reading, for example. What
worlds ofsnew thoughts and new thrills
1t can givel

will not enrich your life. I can see

BIZ d. C. PEATTK.
Warhlers and Vireos.

T SPOKE recently of the habitats
Of the warblers, and their prefer
ence for deep woods and wild
places. but this Is not quite the
whole truth There Is more than
one warbler that Is quite common
around the City Of Washington, owing
doubtless to the fact that this Is the
leafiest large city in the country. Some
of our street trees are really very high.
Even so timourous bird as a warbler
can well fell safe in the great elms OF
Washington Circle, where have heard
the blackpoll warbler uttering his note,
which is a short staccato song, rising
from low to high, and rather shrill, like
the sound of file. It will soon take
wing, as it has far to 60 to breed. and
so. too, will the bay-breasted warbler,
whose note I don't know for certain
from that of other close relatives. 1t
is abundant some years In ROCK creek
Park, and others tell me that Arlington
Cemetery is a good place to look for
it. It seems to return from its far
northern breeding grounds by route
differing from its Spring migration
fight. More than one warbler behaves
in this way, or in the reverse, being
common in Autumn and rare in Spring.
Many and elaborate are the explana-
CloilS VI uLu uliei otAoAA' oov
as many Of them undoubtedly are,
most of them do not bear the strain
Of explaining two migration routes!
The yellow-throated warbler Is also
frequent in such highly accessible spots
as the Zoo and the cemetery. Probably
they find that such places are positive
sanctuary compared with the open
country where they are likely to be
popped at by any gunner. The yellow
warbler, too, is actually commoner in
the city and its leafy suburbs than in
the open country, so we must admit
that some, even of the shy warblers,
have come to appreciate that there are
advantages as well as risks in approach
ing the haunts OF man. Doubtless the
deciding factor is an abundance OF
their chosen insect fare. A certain
class of insects f1ourishes around our
orchards and fields far more than in
| the wildwood depths, and these, per-
haps, the friendlier warblers come to
seek.
These weeks, too, are the time to
| watch for the vireos. If you are out
to pick up records or rarities. specialize
on the solitary or blue-headed, the
| warbling, and Philadelphia vireos; but
the chances are that you will probably
only encouter the common kinds,
| the red-eyed, the whie-eyed and the
yellow -throated. Vireos seem much like
warblers to most of us; their small size,
their lively ways, the high, fine, eerie
songs, their modest plumage and rela-
tive shyness are all similar. The true
differences are technical. In general,
| I tell the vireos by their eyes, generally
ringed with color, or banded on the
''brows" with color, or, as in the case
Of the red-eyed, the iris itself is a
bright. unmistable pigeon's-blood ruby
In many ways they are even sweeter
and more varied singers than the
warblers. Though they will never be
any ones favorite family of birds, they
slowly win an affectionate place for
themselves with all real bird lovers.

The Old Gardener Says:

Peat moss IS exceedingly useful
for mulching shrubs, perennials,
roses and other plants, but gar
den makers often complain about
the difficulty they encounter in
breaking up the bales. If the
moss Is very dry, 1t forms into
cakes and is not readily reduced
to powder form, although when
wet it can be handled much more
easily. Some garden makers al
ways leave a bale or two in the
open air where 1t will be soaked
by rain. Apparently, however,
the average amateur does not
realize that there is q right and
q wrong way to open the bales.
If all the sticks, wires and bur-
lap are removed and the bale
Is broken from the side that has
no sticks on it. it will fall to
pieces easily. The pressure used
in baling Is applied from the
bottom against the top, and when
the bales are opened it should
be with the pressure and not
against it. II an attempt it
made to break the bale from the
two sides that have the sticks. or
from either end, difficulty will be
encountered.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
The engine"

The Engine.
The word engine" Is a good ex-
ample of how far many OF our modern
words have strayed from the signifi-
canoe Of their origin. Today an en-
CINE is a machine. Originally is indi-
Gated that which is born in man."
Through the French, We have this
word from the Latin 'fngenium," which
means natural capacity or invention.
It is a combination of Gin" plus the
root of "gignere," to produce. The same
root gives us genius and generate.
The course by which our paradoxical
words have made their changes is usu-
ally to be found. In this case we have
but to realize that first the source OF
all power was man. Then came the
engine.
The original significance of the word
is embalmed in this little quotation
from Chaucer:
"A man hath sapiences three-mem-
ory. engine and intellect also"

In May the flowers appear. There
are father and mother trees In this
family. They grow beside or near each

trees have nine stamens mounted in
three rows In the calyx, which has six
lobes. The mother flowers have six
inconspicuous stamens In one' row

The fruit Is soft, oblong berry, dark
blue. and swings from a scarlet calyx
and slender stem. In the Fall the
berries are eagerly sought by the birds.
They will eat them before they are
ripe, knowing that is the only way to
be sure of them.
In the Autumn the glowing tree Is
like beautiful sunset-purples, reds,
blacks and gold. 1t is picture worth
travelling far to see.
The wood is tough and light and
makes excellent fishing rods. 1t Is
durable in water, makes satisfactory
posts and rails. Boats and barrels are
made Of the wood also.
