The Woods Vandals.
To the Editor of The Evening Star,


The excellent editorial in Mondays Star
on the destruction of the wild flowers was
timely and to the point, but what good will
it do? The marauders whose only thought
toward the things of the woods and fields
is that they may pull and break and mutt

foragers. If they come across any flower
ing thing the idea is to get it all before
somebody else gets it." Whether tree
or a flower is destroyed does not trouble
them. They are 'in the country and

vandal visitors. I met several of them last
Sunday. A lady with market basket.
