Employees of the Capitol have been inter-
ested in the strange actions of an aged
woman. who. during the past three or four
Gays. has been spending considerable time

Mr. Everett Ashhurst the visitor declined
to give her name or residence, but informed
him that her mission in the parks was a
purely historical one. The great trees in
the Capitol reservation she said are his

great white building in which the repre-
sentatfves OF the American people make
