Prospect Is Alarming.
City Improvement societies, Arbor

nature begin to be thoroughly
frightened about the prospect of
nude New York, minus any decent
yelling of trees or shrubbery to hide
the starkness of it's streets.
Yet within the city limits of New

trees. One of them is in Bronx Park,
and SO far it has defieG gas fumes,

NEW YORK. September 13.-Are
we going to be treeless city? And
are we perhaps going to be a citizen
less city? 1t looks so, on both counts.
AS droop the trees, so droops the
population. Gasoline fumes are the
reason. Tree lovers hereabouts are
weeping over the fact that the first
touch of frost did not turn the trees
as healthy a. russet or red as the
Autumn styles and the laws of horti-
culture demand. Our trees are grow
ing as pale and bloodless as our
traffic cops. and from the same cause
It's the automobile.

American tourists rise to point out
that abroad this is not SO.
Investigate carried on in behalf
of both cops and trees has at last
brought the Investigators to the con-
clusion that the gasoline abroad is
not as the gasoline here. Evidently
the coal deposits from which it is
derived are different. At any rate,
the gas fumes abroad are neither as
noxious nor as smelly as those which
spread a pail over Fifth avenue even
on the clearest and most sparkling
days.
In the parks of Paris, for example,
motor traffic is excessive. Yet pc

LIKES TO FIGHT
SCREEN VAMP
FOR HUBBY

Two of the most devoted mar

make a joint appearance on the
screen at Loew's Columbia to-
morrow afternoon when Lila Lee
and James Kirkwoodg who fell in
love and were married while toll
ing before the camera for Adolph
Zukor, will be presented in the
second of a series Of four pictures
they have contracted to make for
Hodkinson. This picture, Wan

presents the Kirkwoods, who are
famed in Hollywood for their de-
votion to each other, in the role
Of a wandering husband and a
wife whose desperate expedient
wins the man away from the
Establishments of a 'vamp."
The Kirkwoods began this Sc

most fatal riding accident that
nearly made Lila Lee a widow

Noted for their devotion to each
other, Mrs. Kirkwood--the dainty

was asked what she thought OF
the idea of continuing her screen
as hubby's leading woman or with
hubby as her leading man, which
ever way one prefers.
II like it, lots!" she exclaimed,
smiling. She has peculiarly
sweet smile, due principally to
happy expression in her great,
brown eyes. Il think it's a fine
thing for husbands and wives to
work together. One of the most
important requisites for a happy
marriage is to have a mutually

to think in common terms and
