thought it was time to get up, and
he was all ready to start for the Old
Pasture when the first Cheerful Lit
tie Sunbeams came dancing across
the Green Meadows. He carried a
big tin pail and in the bottom OF it.,
wrapped up in a piece of paper, was
a lunch. for he meant to stay until
he filed that pail, if it took all day.
Now, the Old Pasture is very large.

NATURES CHILDREN
NEST OF CHESTNUT-SIDED
WARBLER.

Most of our birds are skilled archi-
tects. Mother birds do the trans
porting of all building materials and
the constructing Of the nursery.
There are some exceptions, Of course,
when father is not only an able as
sistant in construction, but locates
the material. However most OF the
responsibility of providing nome
for the bird babies rests upon the
mother.
After the birds have flown away,
YOU are welcome to the abandoned
nest. BY the time another season
rolls around, this nursery will not
be of any use to the builder shoulo
she even desire to use 1t again oy
reconditioning 1.-THE elements have
made it unfit for use a second time.
Even where there are several PROOFS
in one season, the mother builds a
new cradle for each group.
One of the ways of learning how
industrious a bird architect must be
is to use pair of tweezers and take
apart a birds nest. Most of the
nests contain from three to a dozen
different types OF material. The only
tools consist Of a pair of feet and a
beak. With these. all the material
must be carried and fashioned lnto
place.
Each species has favorite build
ing site and definite type Of archl-
lecture. Once the outstanding char
acteristics Of species have been
learned, other members of the fam
ily will be recognized more readily.
Look for the nest of the chestnut
sided warbler in low bushes from 18
inches to 8 feet from the ground
Building activities begin about the
last week in May. And the chest

brethren who are also awaiting the
glorious day when their babies will
be demanding their full and devoted
attention.
These warblers are specially
friendly. Many nature lovers have
been successful in photographing
the mother on the nest or feeding
her brood. Warblers are almost
strictly insect chasers. Most of them
live, hunt and nest among the trees.
AS rule, they are birds Of beauti-
full plumage and have lovely songs.
Warblers are essentially of America,
where the family Of birds to which
they belong Is the second largest

happy to have a country of their
own once more
The second World War opened
when Hitler sent his armies into
Poland. The Poles fought bravely,
but could not stop the Nazi "blitz-
krieg."
When the Polish government was
fleeing the country. Russia moved
in on the eastern side Perhaps the
Russians guessed Hitler's plan for
later attack on Russia. and wanted
part Of Poland to serve as a "buf-
fer" when the attack came.
With their country now in Nazi
hands, the Poles are suffering, but
we may feel sure they have not
given up all hope. Some Of them,
no doubt, think back to the famous
heroes of Polish history.
Thaddeus Kosciusko ranks high
among those heroes. Although born
in Poland. he travelled to the New
World and took the side Of the
United States in the American Revo-
luton. Later he returned to Poland
and led Polish armies in warfare
against Russia. His troops won an
important victory, but later he was
captured by the Russians.

commission cheerfully gave permis-

They say THE circus has only one

Purchase Of these tickets is one Of

Mr.. Hildreth has his office and
home filled with items pertaining to
the circus. The walls of his Office
are decorated with framed posters
advertising shows long defunct.
Each object brings to his mind
another story about the big top and
its personnel. Another Of his tales
concerns an unscrupulous circus
owner of the early sawdust days.
This particular man would appear
in his tent at the start of each per-
formance and announce to the audi
ence that he had heard there were
pickpockets operating around his
show. He warned every one to be
careful and if any losses occurred he
would like them reported to him.
OF course, all the audience immedi-
ately felt their pockets to see If their
wallets were safe and the numerous
thieves present were able to deter
mine the exact spot from which to
extract the money. After the show
a flood of complaints would 60 into
the manager. He would carefully

A hobby organization which is
probably little known is the Circus
Fans Association. 1t is a national
association having State units,
calleds tops" and city chapters,
known as tents" Each unit is
named for some outstanding circus
personality.
The CFA has its own publication,
a magazine called White Tops, de-
voted entirely to circus news and
going to all CFA members. This
serves to keep all the members in
formed in regard to all matters Of
interest to them and meetings are
not held at stated intervals, but
only on call when necessary busi-
ness must be transacted.
The CFA was organized at its
first annual meeting held in Wash
ington in May. 1926, while Ringing
Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus
was showing here. Melvin D. Hill
dreth of Washington and Marshall
L. King of Alexandria, Va, are
charter members and past presi-
dents of the national association.
The local chapter is called the
James E. Cooper Top. Mr.. Cooper
organized the Cooper g. Bailey
Circus and was later partner Of
P. T. Barnum. He gave the Wash
ington Zoo its first elephant.
Mr.. Hildreth tells the following
story about James A. Bailey of the
Cooper g. Bailey Circus. This was
the first circus to display a baby
elephant in this country and it was
drawing immense crowds. P. T.
Barnum, always on the lookout for
such attractions, wired Bailey an
offer of $4,000 for the animal.
Bailey immedis-y had the tele-
gram reproduced in all Of his ad-
vertising with the comment See
what Barnum thinks Of our ele-
phant." When Barnum heard Of 1t
he declared that a man smart
enough to do that should be in
his own circus. The final result
was the formation of the Barnum g.
Bailey Circus.
A few years ago local newspaper
ran a cartoon of several CFA men,
bers, including Hildreth and Or
singer, carrying water to the ele-
plants. While the circus may never
ask them to perform that particular
service, it may be taken as a symbol
of their willingness to help. Another
point worth mentioning is that they
