When they babe mother goodbye at the wharf in
New York, she had whispered to Margaret: "Be
brave little mothersister to Betty. put her in your
charge"
But the very next night, when grandfather went to
his "den to read and rest, and grandmother knitted
and then fell asleep = by the library fire, two little
girls grew quiet, then lonely, then homesick and Mar
garet saw all at what her mother had meant.
Just then from the freside cheerful call.
Grandmamma, rousng from her nap guessed how
things with the girls and had plan to keep the
tears away. With her aid, out from the past came
quaint little figure, 'Longago Meg" to keep +,
company.
You may find out too, if you will read that most
charmingy written and illustrated story for girls,

PLANTING OF TREES.
Action Based on Request Of Mr..
Crammond Kennedy

In reply to the request of Mr. Crammond
Kennedy. asking that trees be planted
along the east side of Connecticut avenue
extended from Military TO Chapel road, the
Commissioners have answered that the
trees will be planted, provided the petitioner
agrees To pay the expense. which will be in
the neiEhborhood of 500
In his letter Mr.. Kennedy says: THE
parking on the east side of Connecticut ave-
nue. extended from Military to Chapel road
distance Of about 500 feet, Is now on a
grade. and l should like to have a choice
selection of trecs-a double row il permits
sible-set out as early next fall as may be
convenient for the department in charge of
such work. Instead of planting the trees
opposite To each other. | should like il If |
can have a double row. The kind on the
avenue Is pin oak. and / suppose that uni
formity Is the rule 1t is a beautiful shade
tree and seems to grow much more rapidly
here than in the Palisades. You were good
enough TO say that you would refer this
matter to the proper officer He can inform
me what part OF the work must be done by
me and what share of the expense l must
defray.'
. In reporting to the Commissioners rela-
tive 10 the planting OF the trees Superin-
tendent Of Parking Lsnham says that after
an examination OF the locality he finds con-
ditiOns favorable for the planting of trees
and recommends that twenty-five more or
less. be Set at the gutter line during the
coming fiscal year. the work to be done at
the expense OF the District.
"Inasmuch the planting of parking
trees on Connecticut avenue extended has
not yet been undertaken as a general policy,
and since II seems unlikely that such plan
will be adopted In the near future" the
superintendent adds, this Office is Vnwill-
ing to recommend II in the present instance
unless II can be done at, private expense 2,
an estimate of the cost being S100."
II was further recommended that IL Mr.
Kennedy desires to pay for the trees at the
price named. pin oaks be set out at the
gutter line and Norway naples used in the
parking. The naples. II is said, have a
low-growing habit, admirably suited for
lawns. and will form appropriate back
ground to the delicate green foliage and
stately growth of the pin oaks.

The Fire-EScape Law.

I'm amendment TO the present fire
escape law of the District has been
reported to the House by its Com
mittee on the District OF Columbia.
Monday is the last day in which it
can be considered by the House. No
one opposes it on any ground. The
chief thing to fear, then, is that it
may either be not reached or that
objection may be offered to it
through misunderstanding. In either
of which events an unnecessary and
wholly profitless burden will bear
on the business interests of the
Capital.
The law as it now stands exceeds
IN severity every requirement of the
local government. The officials of
the government the Commission
ers and the Building Inspector
aliie-haye so reported TO Congress.
1t takes no account OF better pro-
lection for the occupant of the
building than is afforded by fire
escapes. IT has the effect of dupli-
eating precautions now sufficient in
the judgment of everyone concerned
the officers of the government in
Dictated, the officers Of the Fire De-
partment, insurance agents, owners,
and tenants.
Not a particle of safety for the
occupant Of the building is sacri-
feed by the amendment now pend
ing. It's effect is only to repeal
those sections of the law which re-
quire duplication Of precautions.
i viii simply give the law the form
which the Commissioners and the
Building Inspector unqualifedly ap-
prove as meeting every requirement
of the public safety.
If it passes Congress and is signed
by the President, the District will
still have every reasonable safegI ard
of law possessed by any other COM
munity in the United States If it
does not pass, the District will he
buTdened by requirements which
have no parallel elsewhere, and do no
good whatsoever here.

BAILEY WEEPS
DURING DEFENSE
Declares investigation the
Outcome of Political
Conspiracy.

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 23-SenaJoT
Bailey. under cross-examination before
the legislative investigation committee,
declared that while his enemies had re-
peatedly tried to show that he only per
formed public service for private gain,
that the facts in the case showed what
malicious falsehOods his enemies were
presenting to further unworthy ends
The house committee voted to close
the investigation this afternoon, but
there was a deadlock in the senate
committee, the committee voting 3 and
3. with one member absent. and without
action on the motion the joint commit
tee adjourned until Monday morning
Senator Bailey wept during his closing
statement. in which he said that the
investigation was the result Of politi-
cal conspiracy.
1t is not decided whether the subcom-
mittee shall go to St. Louis and other
points to search for II Clay Pierce
Present indications are that the Bailey
investigation matter will be transferred
from the committee TO the floor of the
Legislature.
