TREE DENTIST HAS
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
Frank Carter Chops Holes in
Them and Fills the Cavities
With Cement.

Frank Carter. Of 21s John Marshall
place. is Washington's tree dentist
He picks out bad trees, chops great
cavities in them like a dentist does with
teeth. and then he plugs the holes full
Of concrete and creosote. Presto. the
tree is as good as new.
The District government has had the
dentist working on the trees on Penn
sylvania avenue, near the White House.
For some days he was busy with chisel
and mallet cutting away the decayed
sections Of the giant elms, lindens. and
poplars. Then he spent a few days
more repairing the great caves he had
opened.
the Census building. He has completed
the task of opening up a cavity five
feet long and nearly two feet wide
nearly the whole of the base of the tree.
But when this Is refilled with creosote
and concrete It will be as good as new
and will wear for years. just as though
the entire tree were there
Mr.. Carter holds an unusual position.
He says there is only one other tree
dentist in the city. Carter himself does
the bulk of the Districts dentistry
work. however, and holds a position on
the Districts official pay roll.
As tree dentist he cannot dress In
white coat and trousers. Instead he
must wear overalls or old clothes. for
by the time he has finished his delicate
with the ill-smelling creosote and con-
crete mixture he Is covered from head
to foot with dirt.

Legal Question Raised
Over Commerce Court

Are the clerks Of the Commerce
Court, and the officials of that organi-
zation violating the law?" What is
their status?"
These questions have been raised by
the unique situation, in which this
tribunal finds itself. The Commerce
Court is still in existence, the body not
having been abolished by legislation,
direct or otherwise. But Congress at
its last session failed to make any
provision for the court. Consequently.
at midnight on June 80. the court was
without funds, all previous appropria-
tions lapsing at that time.
Comptroller Of the Treasury Downey
ma be called upon to decide whether
the court members and employees are
violating the law which prohibits any
one from working gratis for the Gov
ernment.

New Rules Change Practice.
This practice the Secretary. under the
new rules, intends to do away with.
Henceforth. the examining board will be
required to specifically incorporate in its
findings what has. or has not. been es-
tablished to its satisfaction, and to give
its reasons and comment upon the
grounds for its findings and recon-
mendations. in order that the Secretary
may more intelligently act upon the
findings of the board.
The board will be required to give the
