They do not compromise tneir nauve wusum bv admixtures of foreign sounds.

Their tunes are standardized throughout all generations. As humans we like to attune our ears to their utterances and try to interpret what they are saying. In this way ire recognize that dour Simon Legree of the leafy woodland as "Whip poor Will or the vireo as the preacher bird because of his insistent rhetoric question, "You see it You know it" or the quail we name affectionately "Bog White" because our ears tell us that he is either paging Mr. White or announcing his own presence in stiff formal manner. In the same way we tell ourselves that the guinea hen is warning us "Go back Go back!" To the early Pennsylvania German immigrants these bird calls conveyed entirely different meanings even though the sounds were the same.

To minds trained to think in German the birds' calls were given German equivalents in meaning. In this way the Pennsylvania German farmer at work in his field heard the stentorian notes of the quail and to his mind it was a command "Mach fott! Mach Mach fott!" (Keep on! Keep keep on!) The rain bird sang "Es gibt reege" (There will be rain); the oriole singing near a bedroom window early in the morning exhorted the pious "Lees die Biewel, Les die Bie wel" (Read the Bible). A more elaborate version is presented by the dialogue between the rooster and the guinea hen. The roaster lives in constant fear of the visit of the preacher, knowing that destiny has marked him for a conspicuous role in the case of such an eventuality. Therefor the rooster cries out "Iss der Parra doh?" (is the preacher here?) If there is no answer from the guinea hen he feels safe, flops his wings and rules his barnyard domain, majestically.

But if the. parson is in the neighborhood, the guinea hen sounds her warning. "Bleib zurick! Bleib zu rick!" (Stay back! Stay back!) This is a signal to Mr. Rooster to remain in hiding. Throughout all of this speculation on the import of their messages our feathered friends remain blissfully unconscious of the interpretations given to their utterances by language conscious groups.

Only the paiTot is endowed with oral faculties and even he must be taught by painstaking methods. An interesting experiment could be made attempting to teach the parrot to utter the brimstone Pennsylvania German cuss words. That would be glory for any parrot.

Reports In Round Up Due At Noon Teams Get Away To Good Start In $29,400 Drive Busy during the week end at their task of seeing some thousands of prospective members of the Central Y. M. C.

the campaign organization of the Y. M. C. A. Round Up will disclose the results of their work at the first report meeting of the drive in the south gymnasium of the at noon today.

The campaign, with $29,400 as its goal, got off to a flying start Friday night, when the organization flashed the "Go" signal at a meeting in the "IT." It will close April 4. There will be report meetings each noonday this week at the Central X. M. C. A.

Although official reports will not be available until team captains an nounce them at today's report luncheon. Round Up leaders last night were confident that early reports would indicate the ultimate success of their effort. Costrllo Confident "I have been in touch with a number of key men in the organization during the weekend, trying to get a line on what sort of re port we might expect to receive to morrow," John P. Costello, general chairman of the Round Up, said last night. "As the result of my con tacts I have reason to believe that we will have a splendid report on the first day tomorrow.

All the teams are working hard. Very few members did not spend every available hour during the weekend visiting prospective members and friends. They are optimistic about the results and I believe we can look forward to a fine report tomorrow." In addition to the teams, the special gifts committee of which John A. Archer is chairman will make its first report today. The committee has been engaged in advance solicitation several weeks and is expected to make a good report today.

Klohs, E. Louis Kotzen, Donald Kramer, J. Lehn (Continued on Pare 14) Town and Quiet Stouchsburg Had Noisy Moment Back In 1885 By ROBERT B. BAMFORD STOUCHSBURG, lying along the Harrisburg pike near the county's western border, surrounded by the fine smooth fields of Marlon and ornamented by the white towers and slate spires of its attractive churches, seems like a quiet place. But once it had a very nosiy moment.

That was when the dynamite factory blew up. Though this disaster happened In 1885 it still echoes in the memories of the older inhabitants. Murders, ghost walkings, baseball triupmhs, and a fine parade and festival when the town hall was dedicated all these have happened since. But the explosion still holds first place Stouchs burg's album. Not a Window Left Not a window was left, they say.

And cracks in walls throughout town are attributed to the blow up. Even at Leroy Peiffer's garage, where King lives he is a mighty German shepherd and said to be the handsomest dog in Stouchsburg such cracks are shown. And that is way down at the lower end of town, a mile from the site of the factory. Still more impressive is the established fact that Christ's Lutheran Church, a sturdy structure with heavy limestone walls, was ruined by the blast though it stood on the bluff a quarter mile and had to be almost entirely rebuilt. heds of the factory stood in the narrow wooded valley of the Tulpehocken at the upper end of Royer's millpond.

This long pond, with its flock of white ducks at play, and the mill with its old brick walls rising squarely from an arched stone foundation, form a picturesque scene. Narrow Escape In the opinion of M. M. Royer. the present miller, this scene and all the rest of Stouchsburg with it, had a narrow escape from de sri'tion.

The roof of his father's house was hurled off. So what do you suppose would have happened around Stouchsburg if a jolt like that had hit the carload of dynamite which until two days before had been stored in the barn? Three men were killed in the accident, one of them a Stouchsburg lad, the others strangers. The lad was the 17 year old brother of Mrs. E. P.

Walborn, Democracies Safe, Forum Is Told Eleanor Collie Points To Economic Power A plea that public schools really educate boys and girls, instead of "merely keeping them in custody" was voiced last night by Eleanor Collie, one of the two open forum speakers on "Can Democracy Survive in a Changing World?" at Universalist Church. Miss Collie, who is a lay minister from Philadelphia, declared that, since the economic resources of the those of the totalitarian states, there is no immediate danger of the democracies being overwhelmed in a war. The other speaker, Dr. Charles Scholl, Reading dentist, paid tribute to "the simple, sturdy character of the early Pennsylvania German settlers in Reading and Berks County." He told of the part Conrad Weiser played in the settlement of Berks, and asserted that George Washington had a high regard for the people of the district. Fred Keiser was chairman, and a question and answer period followed.

This was the last in the season's series.

Village USMMeS DDD peiFFER WITH who has now been postmistress of the village for a generation. He was a son of George J.

Kapp, one of the three fashionable tailors that Stouchsburg had in those days, and was being educated at Kutztown. Youth Mourned During vp 'n, he daringly took a job driving a team to Sheridan depot for nitroglycerin. The death of this youth. Mrs. Walborn recalls, was greatly mourned in Stouchsburg.

The owner of the plant, Henry Stump, took it so much to heart that for a period the windows of his bedroom had to be nailed down to keep him from throwing himself out. When Mrs. Walbrn was a girl, Stouchsburg had five schools, some public and some private. The leading private school was White Hall Academy, then located in the stone part of the building which is Harry Oxenrrider's home. The scholars ranged from children to young men learning to teach, and the room was full.

Mrs. Walborn never will forget one incident of her Academy life. She was whipped, and for a mere trifle, tyo. With four other little girls she was at work on the Third Reader. The definitions were too hard for them that day.

So the master got his whip. How strange that sounds in these times, when the approved method of rearing the young is to wrange with them. The halls of most postoffices are very prosaic places, but not Stouchsburg 's, where the nicely lettered signs which cover the walls are religious. Reminder to Townsmen Above the window, where the eyes of the townsmen see it daily, is the warning: "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Some of the other signs are gentler, and gentle indeed is the postmistress, who in saying goodbye uses the old phrase, "God biess Nowadays, all Stouchsburg's children, and in fact all of Marion's, go to school in one building, a large brick one with wide windows, surrounded by trees and playground equipment. Boy Highwaymen Caught In The Act Two boys one 11 years old, the other 14 were arrested last night by Patrolman Harry J.

Templin for highway robbery. Their victim was 11 year old James Capaccio, 40 N. Front St. Their loot was a thin dime. Jimmy told City Detectives Frank Harak and George Wynkoop later that he was walking along Fourth street, near.

Court, when two boys i came up to him. "Where ya goin'?" he said one of them asked him. "I'm going to a movie," he replied. "Oh no, you're not," thev promised. The boys grabbed his arms, pinned them back of him.

went through his pockets, he said, and took his dime. Templin came along in time to collar the boys before they could get out of sight. Detectives turned the two youthful highwaymen over to their parents with recommendations for disciplinary action. Temple Hosiery Mill Signs Union Pact Luther D. Adams, president of Branch 10, American Federation of Hosiery Workers, announced last night an agreement had been sigr'ri with the Temple Full Fashioned Hosier' Company governing wages and working conditions.

"During the term of the agreement." Adams said, "productivity of the plant will be Increased at least 20 percent." os. p.ix. nur i i a Marvin Verley is the principal. Downhill from the school used to be Stouchsburg's dorks. That was when the Union canal was running, and A.

C. Klopp Son had a lumber yard and coal yard alongside it. Not one stone Is left on top of another now. But Joe Wenrich. who lives at the upper hotel, well recalls being sent to the dock for coal.

They used to measure it with a half bushel basket, never weigh it. He and the other boys caught many a ride on the old canal. The lumber boats were loaded high, and they liked to step off the biidse onto them, travel a level or two. and then come back on another boat. 1'east On Watermelons They used to watch the upbound boats when they were carrying watermelons, for it was their right to take all the broken ones, and they found plenty.

Joe Wenrich recalls a period during his life when there were 150 cigarmakers employed in Stouchsburg. One of the chief operators was Charles S. Peiffer, whose old factory has been changed into a three story apartment house a form of dwelling which the villagers consider unusual in so small a place. Peiffer's leading brand was the Davy Campbell. It was named after a spry little Civil War veteran who was the town's hero for many years.

He used to live in one end of the stone house at the western end of town which is now the mansion of A. C. Ross, Richland potato chip magnate. Davy was reputed to have fought in 26 battles, and liked to talk about them. Will Zellers.

the storekeeper, remembers his telling them he had captured a regiment single handed. "How did you do it, Davy?" they asked. "I surrounded 'em." Hunted Room This veteran soldier did not lead too peaceful a life even in Stouchsburg. His room was supposed to be haunted. One of the residents who had gone west was believed to have made money in some fashion out there, and.

Mr. anu Mrs. Charles Moody re sitting in the front room of their home at 925 Upland when the fire broke out. It swiftly blanketed the entire house.

Snatching her baby from its crib, Mrs. Moody ran from the house as her husband attempted to salvage a few of their personal belongings. The flames spread so rapidly, however, that virtually all of the family's clothing and furniture were destroyed. The alarm was sounded just as Kenhorst firemen returned from Angelica, where they had aided other rural companies in fighting a forest fire which was threatening a large estate. The Kenhorst appa atus was delayed in getting to the Moody home by motorists who blocked the highway.

On their arrival, the firemen used newly installed fire hydrants to prevent the flames from spreading to other homes. Assistant Fire Chief William Strouse and Oakbrook firemen from i BeirUtS PoSTNl ASTER of the room which Campbell later took. Stouchsburg still sometimes wonders whether any money was found in that chimney when Mr. Ross remodeled the place, which now has acres of park around it. It was in this same house that the mother of Dr.

W. L. New comet, who was then one of the leading townsmen, had a queer experience. Having entered one of the rooms and wishing to leave she was unable to find the door. Her cries brought help, and some folks still believe there was more to it than met the eye.

The Davy Campbell ciear lingers in a fashion in the Blue Coat, made by M. H. Smaltz, who lives in Stouchsburg, but whose tobacco business is divided, the cigar department being located in nearby Womelsdorf. Chief tobacco manufacturer in Stouchsburg today is J. H.

Cooper, whose shop is near the old Academy: and whose brands, in the loyal opinion of Will Zellers. are more widely cheked in Berks than anv other. Leading Politician Zellers, who served a term as recorder of deeds, is perhaps Stouchsburg's leading politician. Ralph Schoener. the present recorder, votes at the fire hall but is a resident of the township.

Frequently seen in Zellers' store is Frank J. Stoltz, dealer in poultry and calves, who for years has been known as the Mayor of Stouchsburg. A majority of the residents of his realm are retired farmers, and the little community gets along perfectly with the township of which it is a part, so Stoltz is that rare being: a mayor without a worry. During the 'nineties. Stouchsburg was widely known because of its baseball team, which more than once beat Reading.

George Zellers. who later kept the American House, was the pitcher, and Will, his brother, was the catcher, as his fingers still show. Only Few Left Only a few of the boys are left. George Zellers is gone, and so are Al and Jerome Hoffman, and Tom Schadler, who was the base stealer. Church Campaign Passes Half Way Mark The debt reduction committee of St.

Kenhorst's Fire Chief Christ Schlegel said a short circuit in the basement started the fire, which ate through partitions. Forest Fire The forest fire which Kenhorst firemen battled earlier had threat ened the Cyrus Derr estate sum mer home near Angelica. Fireman from Shillington, Grill and Goug lersville also responded. A short circuit in electric wires running through the woods started the flre, officials said. Six Reading companies were summoned on a bell alarm to the home of Benjamin Reinert, 260 S.

Ninth at 5:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Strouse said Reinert had started a new fire in the furnace and that it set flre to the chimney. He said there was slight damage. Stouchsburg Older Inhabitants Tell of Murders, Ghosts and Baseball Even young Charlie Kline grew old and died, and so did Jumbo Rauch, still revered in Stouche burg as a crackerjack third baseman. As long as the old rules held this team was wonderful.

Many of them had been brought up on the predecessor of baseball, which they played with a wider bat, and in which they put the runner out by hitting him with the ball; as the lads do on the straw pile at the farm sales even yet. When this team was going downhill. James O. Eisenbise, the barber, came to town from Reading, aged 28; and they found out he was a catcher, and reorganized. The first year they won 20 games out of 27.

Eisenbise caught till he was 57. Now, at 65, he finds he can still handle himself pretty well. Above the barber's counter is one of the few pieces of art in Stouchsburg. It is an old colored cartoon, "Before and After," showing on the left a very whiskery man had them as bad," says Eisenbise), and on the right a perfect gentleman in a wing collar. This cartoon has something.

Teacher and Sculptor A hint of art in Stouchsburg's history is the record that W. Z. Deck used to be a teacher and sculptor there. But it turns out he only cut tombstones. There are a great many tombstones around Stouchsburg.

It is one of the oldest communities in the county, its pioneers coming down the Susquehanna and up the Swatara from New York state, where they had been badly treated. In Christ's cemetery, and in the ancient Reed cemetery, from which the church has moved into town, there are illegible brownstones with skull and crossbones carved upon them. And then there are all subsequent kinds, down through the marble age to the granite. Hundreds of visitors come to these cemeteries every year to see where their forebears lie. and, like old Soames Forsyte, to study their roots.

Hundreds more come June, to Welker's Reformed Church, on a hill to the west, when the annual rent of one red rose is paid. Stouchsburg has had its explosion, and its crimes even murder, for Kate Edwards killed her husband and threw him in the well but in the long run of its two centuries, its life has been quiet work, and worship.

City detectives yesterday continued their search for professional cracksmen who broke off the combination and opened the safe of the Reading Coca Cola Company, Madison avenue and Bern street, some time between 4 and 8 a. m. Saturday, to get away with $598.

The robbery was discovered by employes when they opened the office. It was reported to police, but detectives already were on their way to the plant when they heard the police broadcast on a prowl car. While he was walking across the Lindbergh viaduct, E. J. Rhoads.

Pennside, saw a box in Aulcnbach's Cemetery. City Detectives Peter Zawidzski, Grover Bucher and James Bowman answered his call and found it contained papers and records of the Coca Cola company. The three detectives were on their way to the plant to continue their investigation when news of the safe cracking came to them ovev the police radio system. All Well at 4 A. M.

Patrolman Webster Lutz said he had stopped in front of the plant at 4 a. m. to make out his report and that everything was in order. A light, which police said the cracksmen smashed, was burning when Lutz made his inspection. Working in darkness, the thieves took the cash box from the safe, along with another drawer which contained checks, orders, and papers.

Nothing else in the plant ws disturbed. Lieut. Charles Dentith, detective bureau head, declared he believed the robbery to be the work of professionals. Workers Alliance Pickets G. 0.
