WOMEN ARE RECRUITED
FOR SCOTLAND YARD
British Police Hope to Outwit
Criminals With Fair
Detectives.
By the Associated Press.

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, August 30
wiles, wit and charms versus criminal
craftiness is possibility of the future,
and the outcome is expected by Scot
land Yard to rope in more crime per-
petrators than has been the case
recently.
Recruiting for the new women's
police force is opening shortly, and,
from the many applicants the GRIM
inal investigation department hopes
to get some bobbed haired, daintily
gowned detectives who will prove
more than the equals of the willy
jewel thieves and dope traffickers
who have hitherto eluded attempts
of mere man detectives to track them
down.
The authorities are satisfied that
many of the present crimes and rob-
berries are engineered by new set
of smart criminals who can only be
countered by detectives of the same
outward smartness and equal wit.
By dressing up to the part, these
future sleuths will be able to move
leisurely about the West End without
attracting as much suspicion as male
plain clothes detectives and they will
be able, by their personal charms
and manner, to disarm suspicion.

MARVELS AT TREE

Annual Report, Tells of OBJ

Outlining the tremendous handi-

The City Beautiful" and "The City
of Trees" Clifford Lanham. superin-
tendent of trees and parkings, in his
annual report submitted to the Com

THE condition of the shade trees
of Washington is, generally speaking,
the best that can be expected when
the adverse circumstances attending
their growth, health and life are con-
Sidered," said Mr.. Lanham. For in
stance, the city tree is deprived Of
the natural Seepage under which its
country fellow thriveS. 1t depends
on its miniature and unnatural park
ing for rain water. Contrast this
alone with the country tree that has
acres of surface seepage and then
marvel that the city tree. hemmed in
by miles and miles of concrete. it's
blocked by electric conduits and wa
ter pipes, lives at all. Add to these
auuarently inSurmountable obstacles

oil from roadways and motor vehicles,
the indifference of he curbsetter,
the conduit layer. the lineman, the
plumber and the hardihood and beau
ty of our trees present one of those
superb feats of adjustment that In
my opinion should rank well up in
Darwin's theory of survival and
natural adjustment.
Autos Damage Trees.
"Latterly another menace has
arisen. Consider the thousands of
automobiles that pass any given point
downtown in a single day. Now con-
slider the hundreds of thousands OF
cubic feet of poisonous gases that are
discharged by these automobiles and
that must be neutralized by the life
forces of the city tree. Consider this
and then do not ask why a tree Is
failing but rather why 1t
lives at ALL"
Mr.. Lanham reported that 1.034
young trees were planted in their
permanent positions during the last
fiscal year, net increase of 976 over
planted for the purpose of filling va
cancies in existing rows.
The report shows that 1852 trees
were removed during the year for
various reasons, 9.610 were sprayed
ror the determination of leaf eating
insects, and 1O;SS4 were trimmed
There are now a total of 1o4,294 curb
trees in the District, decrease of
299 under the preceding year.
1t has been impossible to plant
trees along the recently improved
streets, Mr.. Lanham told the Commits
sioners, because of inadequate appro-
priations and the loss of two nursery
sites.
