1.-The trouble with the shade trees in
Washington is that there are too many
people to look after them with the re-
suit that there is too little organized

reau Of entomology at the Department
of Agriculture today. discussing the raids
of the caterpillars on the trees. He
said that there are three distinct sources
of supervision. Part Of the tree-shaded
reservations Is under the Department of
Agriculture. part under the superintend-

Newton street were occupants of an
electric runabout that was struck by
street car last night and overturned. The
accident happened on H street northwest
near 18th street, about $50 o'clock, and
resulted from Mrs. Roberts endeavoring
to cross from the north to the south
side of the street without taking the pre-
caution to look behind to see IL there
were an eastbound car approaching.
Neither occupant of the runabout was
badly injured. Both sustained bruises,
and were suffering from shock when they
were taken to the Emergency Hospital
in a taxicab, but they were not so Sc
rously hurt as to necessitate remaining
at the hospital. Mrs. Roberts insisted

her own home.
Mrs Roberts was operating the ma
chine. When she made a turn at 18th

approaching car made 1t necessary for
her to keep to the left. When she tried

Passengers in the car hurried from the
vehicle and went to the assistance of the
victims of the accident. Mrs Roberts
and Mrs. Peck were considerably shaken
up and slightly bruised. The former
suggested that they be taken to her
home, but those who assisted them
thought 1t best to take them to the hos

sicians without delay. They remained
at the hospital only a few minutes. 1t

Roberts and Mrs. Peck had almost COM
