I NEBRASKA BOYS ARE ELIGIBLE TO TRAINING CAMPS War Department to Direct Mil itary Summer Schools Near Lake Geneva, With Little r Expense to Pupils. Taking an Early Morning Hike With Bird Lovers is Rare Treat for Unitiated "Amateur'' Accompanies OrnithologuU on Trip Through Woods and Canont of Fontenelle Reserve; Annual "Warbler Day" Held Saturday at Child's Point o- By MABEL GUDMUNDSEN, ' As early morning trip to Child's Point, watching the sun rise above the ; Missouri river, tramping miles through the Fontenelle forest reserve, listening to the songs of birds and catching glimpses of bright colored plumage, was a part of Saturday's program for members of the Nebras ka Ornithogolists union, which held its annual meeting in Omaha last week. Nearly 100 bird lovers were pres- tnt. Among them were 20 members of the Bruner Bird club from Lin coln. The club is named after Prof. Lawrence 'Broner of Lncoln, who is recognized as the most famous natur alist in the world, and who has in spired the members of the club to do original work in the study of birds and their habits. Mrs. George Love land, secretary of the club, and sev eral Instructors and students from the state university were in Omaha ior the meeting. . Wilson Tout, superintendent of chools at North Platte, is an ardent tird lover and was one of the most active members of the "bird hunt Saturday. , Mrs. Lily Ruegg Button of Fre mont has attained distinction because of her ability to set the songs of the fcirds to music. She carries her music blanks with her on the trips and as he hears the singing of a bird she writes the notes and thus preserves the song of the shy little warbler. T don't look for birds; I listen for them," explained Mrs. Button, who is able to distinguish scores of birds by their songs. Saturday was "warbler day" be cause it is now the height of the wtrbler's migration. There ire 153 Cerent kinds of warblers. The bird enthusiasts were delighted because t:ey caught a glimpse ol the Cape Uty warbler, wbich is seldom seen as far north as Nebraska. It is a ty bird, scarcely five inches in ttatjth. Its full throat is a bright . Vrtaft and its song is a melodious ;.::! warble. , , .- First Summer Tahagiar, Tha summer tanagier was another tassual Nebraska bird which the ruiabons saw perched high on the 1 ranches of an old oak tree. It ia a r :U red bird and is usually found in l southern states. As tar as au- rdties know, this is the1 first time V is summer tanagier has ever been i a in Nebraska, as no record has t -n found which includes it. Tha bird lovers separated in groups cf S or 10 and tramped in various .rtctions over the hula and througn 'tL canons ol the reserve. At noon - J net at the aprlng for a camp fire ' cton and to compare notes on - 1 1 Ms. Many of the groups saw ; f -erent kinds of birds.

Two Brothers, Omaha Boys, Are "Somewhere" in France Omaha and Nebraska boys soon are to have the opportunity of at tending a junior military summer training camp near Lake Geneva, Wis., at a little expense. The camps, under direction of the War department, are conducted with out profit and for the benefit of in-, structors and students in secondary schools. A series of four camps for second ary achool students, 15 to 19 years, inclusive, will begin June 17, under Captain F. L. Beals, U. S. A. The at tendance is limited to 300 for each camp and is voluntary, no obligation for further service being entailed. They are to encourage military train ing in high schools and colleges and promise an instructive outing. Camp Bite la Ideal Camp Steever, where the training will be given, is on the grounds of the Northwestern Military and Naval academy at Lake Geneva. The camp lite is ideal for a vacation and for the study of military operations. There will be a charge of $10 for tentage and equipment, and the addi tional expense will be $1 per day, each person. The uniform will be simitar to those of the Boy Scouts. Youths attending are expected to ap pear in their uniforms and not bring any civilian clothing. Civic and patriotic societies may give service by paying the expenses of worthy boys who otherwise would be unable to attend. Applications are received by Cap tain F. L. Beals at headquarters of the Military Training Camp associa tion, Consumers' building, Chicago. Applications and full particulars may be obtained from Herbert J. Connell, 307 Merchants National bank building, the chairman of the local committee of the National Training Camp association.
