PENNSVLVANU RICH IN OLD mSTOWCTOEES
Harrisburg, Aug. 13.—No state is richer than Pennsylvania in larg old historic trees.
Secretary James P. Bogardus, of the Department of Forests and Waters, today pointed to a number of trees in Pennsylvania which are symbolic of history-making events m the IUe ot the Nation.
The Old Port White Oak on th^ North Fork Creek, near the village ot Ursina, Somerset county, is among tbe largest white oaks in Pennsylvania. Its age is more than 300 years and its name was derived from an early tort built near the tree. Tradition has it that Oeorge Washington and some ot his aol dlers ate a meal under its spread¬ ing branches.
The Tiadaghton Elm, also known as the Liberty Elm, atands on the west branch of Pine Creek, near Avia, Clinton county. It ts reported that under this apreading tree the Pine Creek Declaration ot Inde* pendence waa signed.
Near Bath. Northampton county. i.s [irobably the largest horse chet* nut tree In the State. Thia tree was taken from Mount Vernon by Washington and sent to Oeneral Brown, one of his aids In the Revo¬ lutionary War, who planted It In front of his home
A tree whose history dates back to Colonial times, slid Secretary Bogardus. Is the White Oak Witness tree at the old Donegal Presby¬ terian Church at Donegal, Lancas¬ ter county This tree witnessed an expre.^'.-ion of national patriotism on a Sunday morning in 1777. when .m expros.s rider came to tell the congrraation that the British army, under I.ord Howe had left New York to invade Penn.sylvania. Pas¬ tor and congregation gathered un¬ der this tree and Joining hands pledged their loyalty to the cause of liberty.
The Lafayett* Sycamore stands near Chadds Pord in Delaware county. Its branches overhang the stone house where Oeneral Lafay¬ ette established his headquarters September 10. 1777. History relates that the famous Prench general was laid under this sycamore after having been wounded in the leg during the battel of Brandywlne
Although the Penn Treaty Elm is no longer standing, it was the foremost of Pennsylvania's historic trees, and stood on the shore of the t)elaware River In what Is now the Kensington section of I'hil.idel- phla

Mis.> Dorothy M. Oish. d.iU3hter ot Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Oish, of AUen¬ town, and graiicld.iughter of Asa K .McIIhaiify of Bath, and Mr. and Mr.-. Ciiarles K.ihler, Walnu: .street, town, who Is m.iking a world tour at Iiresent, writes home to her fru'nd-. in a nnst interesting man¬ ner of her experiences abroad. The letter, in  part,  follows:
Tlie group is composed of 16 college and high school girls under a private chaperoneage of Miss Mary Holman. a 1924 graduate of the University of Vermont, who has taken parties abroad for the past nine seasons, and who Is much interested in the social as well as the Educational side.
The party left New York Satur¬ day, July llth, on the Vulcania, bound for Naples, Italy. The trip across took twelve days with day stops at the Azores, Lisbon, Oilbral- tar, Algiers and Palermo
Miss Oish writes of glorious days lat sea, sunning and swimming on 'the Vulcania s new Lido deck, fine orchestra, movies, lectures on the ports to come, described by Mlss Holman. Dancing, deck sports, Ane library and fine meals
For the past three nights we se: our watches ahead 30 minutes. On July 17th we arrived at the Azores and made a tour of St. Michaels, the largest of the groups We saw Pun ta Delgeda, a city of 33.000 people, and drove through and around it The houses are all painted—either white, green or pink. The streetj are cobblestone, and very narrow. Nearly all the ^jeople are barefooted. Some carry thing.i on their heads, and the native woiiiea are seen In •Coal Scuttle" bonnets. There are ox-carts loaded with tobacco and bananas. We had fresh pineapple which was delicious. We visited a pine apple plantation where they have a small spa and serve pine¬ apple Juice. There are beautiful gardens. The flowers art almoet the same as the ones at home. They have yelkiw and orange carnations. As we passed along we had so many flowers given us that we had our hands full. But it Is baek to the ship and on to Lisbon.
July lOth As }-ou know Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, a modern and bealitiful city. The women are seen, carrying huge baskets of flsh and vegetables on their heads The Botanical gardens are beautiful. Lisbon Is the homeland of the Ex¬ plorers who sailed the Sewn Seas. and we saw the tomb of Vasco De Oama, which is In the Cathedral of St. Jeronynias There is an Orphan¬ age along.slde where they have 10g9 boys. They all have their heads shaved and are dressed in uniforms. Wc were privileged to examine a collection of ancient carriages dat¬ ing back to 1700. They were very- elaborate and decorated in gold. i\ory and red plush.
We are now in the tender ready to go to Ollbrater. I might mention here that Primo Camero is on our boat, as well as some Princess, but I do not know where she Is from.
July 20th. We landed at Oilbral- ter hair an hour ago and are going ashore in about 20 minutes. Just got back from Oilbralter. It Is one of the loveliest places I ever saw. The town is .situated on a hill and the roads are very steep. We drove up to the old Moorish Castle, which was built In 311. tt is all of stone and very gloomy. We then went to the Oallirus. a part of the fortifica¬ tion.' The walls are very thick, and the tunnels long. Fi«m this migh'y rock we look down upon Spain, the Straits, the Blue Medi¬ terranean, and you can even look over into Africa
There is a revolution on in Spain now and we saw where some fight¬ ing had occurred the dav before. We were not allowed to drive over into Spain, because of this condi¬ tion
July 21 "^t In Algiers It Is a very fascinating place in .^ome parts. Lovely gardens md beautiful homes We visit» d a Mohatnniedan Mosque; the floors are carpeted and the men take off their shoe, before they enter. Then to the Native Arab headquarters Oh. what a place— the filthiest, slimiest, smelliest place imaginable. Tlie streets are cobble¬ stone and wide enough for three people to walk abreast. On each side are tiny holes in the wall where the people live and work. Little air and no light can enter these plices They do not have any water in their homes because it Is against their religion, so here and there in the stree-- are faucets The water is running all over the streets. We .<aw Arab- wlh red fezps. Moh-immedan*. Tjr<^. Moors, and \»l>d ladie.- Life »-«es on unta- terrnpted by New World ideas. To- m'->rrr>w we cruise -.i Sicily
