BALTIMORE, December 16 =
Christmas trees, now arriving in Bal
rimore by the carload from the New
England States and Canada, are
being closely inspected by members
Of the Federal Board of Horticulture
for tracy of the gypsy moth or the
hrown-tailed moth.
In a few instances evidence of the
evergreen pests was found, says DIR.

ent of the board, but this was quickly
corrected before the trees left the

needle pines from Oregon, DIR. Prince
said. A number of these pines have
come here to landscape gardeners.
The Oregon pines are found to be in
tested with dangerous plant dis
ease that attacks only the five-needle
pine. the disease being known as
cronartium ribicola, or white pine
blister rust.
Gooseberries and currants also are
banned if they come from that State,
AS these plants are the host plant to
the disease.
The disease will not spread from
one pine to another. DIR. Prince said,
but will spread to the gooseberry and
currant plants, from which they are
transmitted by birds and wind to other
pines.

ELDRIDGE PROMISES
TO REVOKE PERMITS
Will Weed Out Bootleggers and In.
capables When He Gets Pow
er, He Tells Club.

NJ. o. Eldridge, director Of traffic,
told the CiWtan Club at it's weekly
luncheon yesterday that as soon as
the bill now pending in Congress to
broaden his powers is enacted he will
revoke the drivers permits of boot
leggers and persons having physical
defects that impair their ability to
operate automobiles.
Lacking definite figures, Mr. Ed
ridge expressed the belief that there
are nearly 1000 drivers, including
bootleggers, whom he regards as unfit
to operate machines in the District.
Some Of these drivers, Mr. EIdridge
said today, may be weeded out next
March when all of the drivers per.
mits now in use expire and motorists
are subjected to REORGANIZATION for
new permits. Since 1903 licenses to
operate machines in the District have
been issued to 202,554 motorists, $3.50
of which were issued since the crea.
ton of the Traffic Bureau last May.

BRANCH LIBRARY
SHORT OF BOOKS
Lack of Funds Hampers
Work in Southeast
Institution.

Members of the staff of the south
eastern branch Of the Public Library,
Seventh street between South Caro-
lima avenue and d street, are feeling
keenly the limitations of the inStitu-
ton, which, during the three years of
it's existence, has been able to pur-
chase only 0,000 books, Mrs. Frances
S. Osborne, branch librarian in charge,
stated today.
Mrs. Osborne said that the supply Of
books at the southeast branch ought
to be doubled at the earliest possible
moment, calling attention to the fact
that school children in that section
are being hampered in their supple
mentary reading through inability to
get the volumes they need.
Appropriation for the southeast
branch for books last year was only
81 400, and during it's entire existence
only $4,000 has been spent on books.
Inasmuch as there is a card registra-
ton at the branch of 1919 readers, it
can be seen that if each one of the
card holders should take out books
simultaneously the shelves would
practically be depleted.
The daily average circulation of
books at the branch Is estimated by
Mrs. Osborne as between 900 and
ZOO volumes. The library spends 500
annually on magazines which are
widely read by the students for cur
rent events.
Every Friday afternoon Miss Lo-
rena Mondereau, children's librarian,
conducts a storytelling hour at $3.50
o'clock in the small room in the base
ment of the library. Hours at the
branch library are the same as those
at the main library-9 am. to pm.
and closed at 5 pm. on Wednesday
and all day Sunday.
Southeast citizens generally are
praising the library for the great
service it is rendering despite its
handicap s, and for the friendly spirit
of helpfulness shown by the librarian
and her assistants. Personal service
is rendered the children in the Sc.
lection of books and the cultivation
of their tastes. Classes from the diff
ferent schools in the Southeast and
Northeast come to the library in
groups and are instructed in the use
of the card index.

Jack Frost must have the secret Of

Go to Jacks Castle.
All this time the captain had been
cranking the camera to make a record
of the meeting of Santa and Jack
Frost Then we went to Jacks crystal
ice palace. Jack had hard time TO
keep with us. for the Arctic hare is
the fastest animal in the North, and
Since Jack was wearing shoes made
to look like the hare. he couldn't go
slow enough. Finally he picked up
the camera and tripod, and the load
slowed him up enough so that he
stayed with the rest of the party.
When we came to Jacks palace we
gasped in wonder. 1t didn't seem pos
sible that such beauty could exist. The
palace looked like an immense cave in
a. mountain of ice. Wonderful icicles
hung down like vines in a jungle, and
everything shone like diamonds.
You have all caught snow flakes on
your glove or coat sleeve, and seen
the delicate little crystals joined to-
gether in wonderful patterns. Or you
have looked at the marvellous figures
on the frosty window pane in the
morning. and mother has said, Look,
Jack Frost has been around and
painted the window pane last night"
Just imagine how happy we were
to meet Jack Frost and to see his
home. But there was more pleasure
to come. Jack left us for few min
utes, and returned with his magic
wand.

FAMOUS LONDON BRIDGE
DOOMED BY PROGRESS
Art Lovers Regret Impending Re-
placement Of Waterloo
Structure.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 16.-To the sor-
row of all art lovers, London is to lose
it's famous Waterloo Bridge across the
Thames. The fate Of the structure
was sealed yesterday by the decision
of the London county council to build
a new bridge with not more than five
arches and sufficient width to take six
lines of vehicular traffic.
The decision followed three hours of
debate on the report of subcommit-
tee, which had been unable to agree,
but recommended that either the ex-
listing structure must be rebuilt or
complete responsibility for q catastro-
phe must rest on the government. A
new bridge was finally decided upon.
Waterloo Bridge was built in 1811-17
at a cost of more than 100000 and
has been described as one of the finest
in the world. 1t rests upon nine
arches.
