Tree Destruction
For Parking Space
Is Again DeplOred

The Fine Arts Commission has
reiterated its opposition to the
street-widening, tree-tearing pro-
gram that has been pursued in
Washington, with consequent ex-
tension of automobile parking
space, in the view of the ad-
visory body, as set forth in its
report of three years work that
has jVst come from the press.
THE commission has deplored
the widening of streets in the
District of Columbia, which meant
tearing down many fine trees
without first a we'll designed
plan, and an estimate of appro-
priations for replanting trees
such as will give shade, and not
saplings. 1t has seemed that while
street widening has been intend
ed to facilitate traffic, it has re-
suited too often in giving simply
more room for parking automo-
biles by allowing them to park
head on instead of parallel with
the curb.

American medals rise into the realm of
works Of art. Usually the design is re-
quired to be pictorial rather than SYM
bolic; then money is lacking adequately
to pay for the time an artist must spend
In order to produce good results, and in
most cases there is haste to produce the
medals for a particular occasion. BY
executive order all designs for medals
must be submitted to this commission
for advice, but the final decision is with
the executive ofiicer, who often does not
recognize the standards of the medalist

FROSH FROLIC WAS
 PLEASURABLE EVENT

Annual Frosh frolic which took place Sunday. April 23, all students and faculty will agree was huge success. Warm, pleasant weather helped to make the 35-mile run to Shelter Island a delightful trip.
 Freshmen were especially fortu- nate in securing the Pacific" a fine, roomy comfortable boat. They were generous hosts and the "eats'' were everything to be desired in quantity and variety. Lunch was eaten on the sandy beach at Shel- ter Island.
 The afternoon was spent rowing hiking, taking snaps and playing ball. The Pacific turned it's prov toward home at 4 pm, arriving about g o'clock with a thoroughly satisfied and happy crowd aboard. Special appreciation is owing to Mrs. Fox, who kindly accompanied 1 the party, also to Capt. Ben Geddes of the Pacific, who did everything he could to make the trip an en- joyable one.

I left the shop as happy as boy with the newest thing il mechanical toys. But if l could have suddenly known the signifi- canoe of what Hyde had refused to tell me, I should have plunged back into his cavernous shop, taken him by the throat and shaken him until the story dripped word by word from between his teeth. I might then have been able to avert the tragedy that was to blast the lives Of those dearest to me.

 I did so and he resumed his own chair with an audible creak of old bones. My eye fell on the let ter he had slid over the object be heath it. The incident bothered me. Why should Hyde have been in such haste 10 conceal the thing from me?
 He quickly recaptured my atten- tion by placing the revolver or the desk in front of me. It was all l could do to keep from leaping to my feet. seizing the revolver. and telling Hyde to name his price. In stead, I casually picked it up

aware that he was watching me slyly.
 Careful, Peebles. It's loaded"
 The revolver was a long-barreled Colts AS of type in general use 90 years ago. On the butt was a mounting of filigree gold of crude workmanship. It was this unusual feature that had set my elderly heart humping like a mill-race.
 Hyde was watching me with his secret smile I broke the gun. Six shells, one of them exploded, fell into my hand. I caught my breath. My hands began to tremble. Sweat dampened by forehead. I bent lower over the pistol to hide my agitation. "Well?" Hyde asked blandly.
 Do you suppose it is authentic?" parried casually
 He gave his sly chuckle. You see the mounting. And the bull lets-are they not of gold?" His smile broadened. "Peterson's initials are on the butt"
 1 As a matter of fact I was sure the gun was Peterson's although I could not prove it was, any more than he could. A thrill of pleas ure ran through me. Ever since II began collecting pistols, I have wanted to get hold of one of Peter sons gold-mounted revolvers. I had commissioned several dealers to be on the lookout for me, but I never had quite expected to realize my ambition. And yet here was with one of the famous guns in my l hand.
 Peterson's fame was mainly To- cal, but I was interested in him because he was typical of a phase of the West. I supposed. he was dead, but he wouldn't be an old man if he were alive; no older than I in fact. He had his day 1T the sos but he was young mar at that time.
