HISTORIC TREE NEARING END
Elm at Washington, Closely Associated
with Samuel r. 3. Morse, Will
Soon Be Gone.

Another landmark in Washington is
near destruction. The old Morse
Elm" under whose shade Samuel f.
b. Morse used to spend his leisure
hours while working on his invention
Of the telegraph, will soon be removed.
The tree was planted in 1920. In
the early forties the future inventor of
the telegraph used to foregather with
his cr0nies and newspaper men and
crack jokes about the impossible"
and "crazy" invention of the magnetic
telegraph on which lie was working.
The tree was in front of the old Will
lard hotel.
Since those days the old hotel has
been replaced by modern eleven
story hosiery. Morse, whose inven-
ton came true in 1874, died In 1872.
But the tree remained.
But It is now in It's death hour in
spite Of many operations Of stree sur
gerry" and all known applications Of
stree medicine practiced by Washing
toms superintendent of city parks.

When one stops 10 consider a

Mt one time, one might be able
TO form some vague idea Of what
. task the Queen has, not only to
keep the population up but to in
crease it, for that is what a good
Queen is constantly doing.
Two or more Queens cannot ex-
list in the same colony. If by any
chance two Queens get into the
same hive, they Immediately give
battle to each other and never
relinguish the light until one or
the other is killed.
II is a rare thing though that
two Queens get together, because
when a hostile queen for any rea-
son enters hive other than her
own the worker bees usually
"Iball" her and kill her thereby
protecting their own mother and
queen.

never uses it except in battle with

could be written about the queen
because more study and attention
is given her than any other 1ees,

Championship the following year. when
Trcpland won the Pennsylvania state
titlc and annexed the national crown.
In 1910 MiSkcy once more came through,
winning the national, but that was his
final victory in national tournament.
Two Ex. Champions
In the present tournament for the
state title at the racquet club there are
two former national champions. Frank
s. White and Stanley w. Pearson.
Both are playing from the Germantown
Cricket club. Pearson captured the
event three years in row. 1915, 1916,
1917, The war prevented any tourna
mpnt being held in 1913 and 1919.
Last year the title once more went to
boston, c. G. Peabody being the VIC
tor.
While there is no certainty as to the
rnalists in the present state tour
nampnt. il is possible that Stanley
Pearson will meet Wallace Johnson.
In former years Pearson has always
been able to beat the national lawn
tennis scmifinalist. This year, however,
in the opening match Of the interclub
season. johnson defeated Pearson for
the first time.
Johnson and Pearson probably have
met in various contests more than any
other two athletes in Philadelphia.
Besides their many clashes in the
squash raCQuets court. Pearson and
Johnson have been battling each on the
lawn tennis turf for years. 1t is sig
nifcant that Johnson is almost invari-
aby the tennis winner, while Pearson
has been the master at squash. If this
proves anything it indicates that it is

If Forrest is able to trim Sam Pea

brother Stanley in the semi final round.
