dren here showed that. at conserva-
tive estimate. about 80 per cent of
the school children of Washington
are more than per cent under
weight" said DR.. Mercy. Recent
studies in special sections of the city
by parent-:teacher associations and by
school nurses show that the per-
centage of undernourlshed children
rises in these parts as high as SO per
cent.
taking 80 per cent as a general
average 1t may be estimated that at
least $4,000 school children in our ma
tion's capital are seriously under
weight. which usually means that
they are malnourished. In view of
this situation, 1 think it is evident
that the work of the Children's Coun-
TRY Home is needed"

Every one who visits our National
Capital agrees that it is a beautiful
city. In spite of the fact that many

war. and although our park and play
ground program has fallen behind
what 1t should be, Washington is still
one of the outstanding large cities
noted for beauty.

tic about the wonderful interior deco
rations of our Congressional Library
some are impressed by the beauties
of Rock Creek and Potomac parks
but all. without exception, join in the
praise Of the beautiful trees which
line our streets for miles and miles
and agree that the chief beauty OF
Washington lies in it's natural shade
provided by systematic tree planting
along our highways.
1t is distinct shock, therefore, to
find whole blocks Of shade trees being
destroyed along H street northeast
I understand that some of these aN to
be replaced. Why cannot all be re-
placed by young and vigorous trees
of slow growth, which will, in time
restore this street to some semblance
of beauty? Certainly there Is practi-
cally no beauty in the electric signs

a follower and ardent supporter OF
Venizelos during the overthrow Of
Constantine, was accompanied to the
White House by one of his high
bishops and an Interpreter, all wear
ing the picturesque robes of their
office.
Because of the patriarch's activities
in connection with the Venizelos party
he not only was banished by King
Constantine, but his election to his
high office has not been recognized by
the crown. 1t is understood that his
call at the White House had no po-
Iitical Importance. but was merely for
the purpose of permitting this noted
churchman to exchange Fluctuations
