Nature’s Children June. BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. UNE has been called the month of abundance. The flower of the month is the wild honey- suckle. The fragrant wildrose to be found blooming at this time, climbing fences, walls and old build- ings in the country, is by the vote of the American people, our National flower. Look where we will as we walk Qutdoors we find beautiful flowers, a riot of color, blending of exquisite odors that float to us on e\ery\‘ breeze, a delicate perfume. We want first of all to visit our | old haunts where we can find the flowers that arrive in June. The bluebells, lady's thimble, iris, black- eyed susan, daisy fieldss—in remote places the showy lady’s slipper, the columbines, jack-in-pulpits, butter- cups, bluets and oh, so many others you have met in this column and in your favorite hills, meadows, woods and swamps. June is the month of bird nests end babies. In the orchards the orchard oriole and blue bird do police duty for the trees. Have you ever thought how little fruit we would have if our bird friends did not build in the orchard and raise their grub and worm-loving infants there? Along the stream walls look for | the homes of the cave-dwellers, the kingfisher babies. Also watch for the parents as they go fishing for tiny, ten- | der fish for their hungry youngsters. Then go to the meadows to see if you can find the lovely roofed nest of the bobwhite. Perhaps you had better plan an early morning call so you can hear his clear whistle. Father bobwhite is an ideal husband. He takes entire charge of the first group of children, and there may be 8 dozen or more! While his wife is brooding another sizable family, he 1s instructing the first children in the fascinating rules of living and dodging 0es. Baby orioles climb from their nurs- ery and look about with great interest. Unlike other bird babies, they have seen the-world until now from behind a fatticed window. The mourning dove calls in minor | | key to her mate. She is sitting upon a platform of twigs, keeping two white eggs warm. Perhaps you may see one of the parents return from foraging and be amazed to see the bables thrust their heads into their parent's throat for the pre-digested food they need. You will find the bobblink in the meadows. He loves to sway back and forth from the stems of tall plants like the meadow rue. ! In raspberry bushes you may Spy a nest of tiny warblers. He calls “withchity-withchity-wipch,” and whichever bush his small spouse is located in, you may peep into and pass swiftly by. Along the roadways in the brush- borderd paths leading into the woods, the Maryland yellow-throat has been | known to raise her family. The animal babies are venturing forth, too—squirrels, chipmunks, rac- ccons, skunks, and others too numer- | ous to mention.

LEESE Optical Co. 614 9th St. N.W. THE EVENING the perfume from the honey locust | and wildcherry. Wild strawberries are ripe in sunny meadows and even along the roadsides. Butterflies, like jeweled flowers, are floating from flower to flower. Insects fill the air with a steady hum, as they feast on nectar. Over the flelds of clover, bumble bee queens are doing & valuable service for the farmer and his cattle by transporting pollen from the clover heads. Iucidentally, each queen is drinking all the nectar she can, for hidden away in some cozy retreat, she will build her own honey- pot and wax incubator. The streams, ponds, brooks, bogs and rivers are filled with the new gener- ation of fish of this year. Not a spot in these places is without its thrill for the nature lover. June is a grand month to seek your own sacred and thrilling moments among the outdoor folks every day you can. (Copyright, 1937.) Barglar Nearly Bungles. CHICAGO.—When a burglar en- tered his apartment, Capt. H. Wirt Butler of the Illinois National Guard was concentrating on a bridge game and failed to notice the intruder, police reported.
