DESCENDANT HERE
 Of CHARTER OAK
Tree at Chamberlain School Planted on Arbor Day, 1914

Few people in this city know that one of the stately trees which grace the lawn of the Valentine B. Cham street school. is direct descendant of the famous Charter Oak" that played such an important part in the carly government of Connecticut.
 The tree was given to the school by Deacon David Camp. who was the first principal Of the State Nor mal school in this city It is To- cated in the center of the front lawn, having been planted on Ar bor Day. April IT, 1914. It is said to be the only tree in this city that can claim the Charter Oak as it's parent. Deacon Camp gave de- scendants of the famous tree to other schools in 1914 but. outside of the Chamberlain school tree, all the others died
 The tree at the Chamberlain school is in a fourishing condition. By constant care and treatment. it has been kept in good health. During the summer boys often climb into it's branches and have carved their initials in the bark. Alertness by the school officials, however. has kept the boys from in turing 1t. The tree is of an or dinary size and stands inconspicu- nus among a number of other trees. There is no sign or tablet to show that it is a descendant of Conncc- ticut's famous tree.
 Another Memorial Tree
 Besides the Charter Oak de- scendant. the lawn of the Chamber lain school is dotted with another tree which is q silent memorial to the boys of the school who sac riticed their lives in the world war.
 It was planted by the Parents and Teachers association of the school on May 1, 1919, and dedicated to the world war heroes Of the school.
 X memorial tablet was purchased and placed near the tree. IL reads as follows:
 1917-Memorial-19lS
 "1n memory of the boys who once attended the East Street school and sacrificed their lives in service for their country"
 The dedication of the tree and memorial tablet was witnessed by

Mayor L. Ert Slack was silent on
whether the s1l0 tax rate Of last
year will be increased for 1880.
Trim Every Budget
We will not be able to tell that
until We receive the requests from
each department.
1t is our intention to trim every
departments budget as closely as
possible for efficient operation.
Then We VIII be able to tell some
thing as TO what the tax rate will
be for 1890" Slack said.
An emergency fund probably will
be created to provide the new COM
missioners with a fund from which
Une~0ected expenditures can be
paid. The new law permits a $4,000
maximum salary for commissioners
instead Of the present 5000 annual
pay for cOuncilmen. Under the city
manager law there is no fixed salary
for the city manager, the figure be-
ing left to the commission.

administration to make necessary
adjustments. The process of re-

A "SALON SERIES"

noon Concerts, Presenting
Native Artists.

The Misses Sutro announce salon
series" of programs this Winter. They
will begin at the Carlton Hotel Friday
afternoon, December 10; January 10
and February IA at o'clock.
This series is arranged by subscrip-
ton and has as its object to bring to
Washington the best native talent with
view to building an American art
center, as each European country has
in its capital city. The proceeds, above
actual expenses, are to start a fund
for composers, painters and sculptors
who have not the wherewithal to devote
more time to creative work Hence a
painter or sculptor, or both, If possible,
will be featured at each salon" as well
as composer.
Misses Rose and Ottilie Sutro,
natives of Baltimore. who have spent
many years concertizing abroad, were
the first artists to give recitals on two
pianos. They are now making Wash
ington their home. There is a posi-
bility that they may be heard here in
recital this season.
Miss Ottilie Sutro has just completed
q two-piano setting of the Mcdowell
Indian Suite" in pursuance of a long
cherished desire to have something of
this great American composer in their
repertoire, which, however, is probably
the largest on record of original works
of this caliber The suite will be given
its first performance early in December
in New York at the Mcdowell Club,
the proceeds to go to a "Humilston
Fund" in the Mcdowell Colony at
Peterborough, for which fund the

England, increasing in number all the
time. OF course. New England has first
claim on this organization.
Mr.. KoussevitZky also is said to be en-
tertaining plans for Spring tour OF
