famed in biblical times when Solomon'a
temple was a-building. Its counter
part, another cedar of Lebanon, stands
in the midst of big field at flush
ing, Long Island. It's far flung limbs
its picturesque contour and it's great
bulk stand, fortunately. at a. coz
siderable distance from any road
travelled by motor cars.
Famous Weeping Beech.
In the old nursery district OF
Flushing there is, also, a locally
famous weeping beech. This gigantic
tree rises to a height of perhaps "a
hundred feet, from which its branch es
droop to the ground like a leafy
fountain. Thus dropping, they form
a green, circular dimly lit room, bara
of grass for some 10 feet around the
enormous trunk.
These two trees in the Flushing
district, plus their worthy compeer
in Bronx Park, are seized upon by
the tree lovers to point two morals.
One moral Is that the soil and air OF
New York City are ready and eager
to nourish magnificent specimens.
The other is that if gas fumes can
SO decidedly wipe out our trees, they
are likely to blight and perhaps
eventually wipe out our children.

the committee had no idea OF drop
ping the NJ. S. Daugherty angle of the
investigation and would use all the
power at its disposal to compel him
to- submit to its subpoena.
Dausherty Wins First Test.
When the subpoena was served on
Daugherty at Washington Court
House by the sergeant-at arms of the
Senate, he challenged the authority
of the committee to compel the
presentation of the bank books The
United States District Court for the
Southern District of Ohio ruled in
favor of Daugherty, and the COM
mittee, on August 49, appealed direct
from the District Court to the Su-
prene Court on the ground that con-
stftutional questions were involved.
No further action can be taken
until The Supreme Court convenes
Oc'oher 6. At that time "a motion
VII be made by the Attorney Cen
eral to have the case advanced, as
otherwise it probably would not be
reached until next year.
After. the conference Senator Brook
hart returned to Camp Perry, Ohio
where he is in command of the
National Target Practice School.
