WASHINGTON SHADE.
TREES ENDANGERED.
Home Owners Urged to Water
Pathways to Prevent
Drought Deaths.
ANNE McCLUNG AMI

Drought is endangering the lives of
the beautiful shade trees along the
streets of Washington. Furman Lloyd
Milford. specialist in landscape garden
ing in the Department of Agriculture,
warned today in calling upon residents
to water the trees in front of their
homes with the garden hose
These trees are dependent on water
and plant food, says Mr.. Milford. In
ordinary weather they seem to find
moisture enough for growth stored in
the soil, and this in spite Of the cement
sidewalks and street surfacings i'm
pervious to water. In a prolonged
drought, however, the natural water
level of the soil. or water table as it
Is called. is lowered beyond the reach
of the tree roots and they suffer from
drought as do trees in more open stu
atoms.
Dropping Leaves Give Warning.
The first indication of injury, says
Milford, is the premature dropping of
some of the leaves. II this does not
reduce Transportation sufficiently to per-
NIT the roots to supply the remaining
leaves. then the remaining leaves droop
and brown and the tree usually dies
If water is supplied before this stage is
reached there is good chance of saw
ing the tree. When the injury is so
severe that 1t is noticeable to the casual
observer it is usually too late to save the
tree.
To save the trees of Washington, it
would be desirable, milford says, for
each householder to supply water to
the trees near his home by running
small stream from his hose into the
sidewalk opening about the tree for
several hours. The stream should not
be strong enough to food the area and
run out over the sidewalk-just a
trickle that will soak into the soil as
fast as it comes from the hose.
Some Trees Already Hurt.
Newly planted and young trees will
be the first TO show injury, but many
of the older trees are likely to show the
effects of this dry weather for the next
year or two, If nothing is done to help
them. Some Of the street trees in
Washington are already seriously af-
fected by the drought. milford believes
One thorough soaking should suffice
for about a week. The soaking may be
regarded as thorough If, after three
days, the soil below the tree Is moist
at a depth of 3 inches.
A few good showers, says Null
ford, will help relieve the present gen.
eral situation, but it will take several
days OF steady rain to reach the tree
roots. Watering of individual trees
should be continued even after there
have been several good showers.

URGES LOWER PRICED
HOSPITALS FOR POOR
julius Rosenwald, Chicago Philan-
thropist, Stresses Need Of Efficient
Service at Moderate Cost.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La, october a.
Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthro-
pist, Monday night urged the establish
ment of more moderate pay clinics and
hospitals to provide efficient service at
fees within reach of the average man.
He addressed members of the American
Hospital Association, now In conven-
ton.
Pointing out that with more than
three billion dollars invested in Ameri-
can hospitals, the institutions have en-
tered the class Of big business, Mr..
Rosenwald told Of the success Of hos
pitfalls running with a schedule Of
charges and professional fees within
reach of persons of limited salary.
AS an example, he cited the moder-
ate priced pay clinics OF the University
Of Chicago in connection with its teach
ing hospital. During the year 1929-30
the hospital ran 81 per cent full and
the pay clinics increased from trifie
more than one hundred patients a day
during its opening year, three years ago.
to almost three hundred day at pres
ent, he said.
1.-The receipts from pay patients for
all the services of the hospital and
clinics amounted last year to more than
$500, 000," continued Mr.. Rosenwald. If
this service had been given on a charity
basis 1t would have required the income
on a $4,000, 900 endowment. Therefore
it seems to me that universities and
hospitals have no right to attempt to
raise huge endowments for service
which can and should be paid for by
the recipient"
Mrs. Rosenwald concluded with the
contention that the "self-respecting"
American does not want charity, but
expects what he buys, as well as any
services he receives, shall be furnished
as efficiently as possible and at such
prices that he may be able to pay for
what he gets"
Therefore, he said, hospitals and elm
les at the present time should decrease
their free and greatly enlarge their pay
work.

FLYER LOSES SUIT
TO RECOVER $1,217
Jury Decides Brooke Was Fully
Compensated by Air Legion
for Services.

By a Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, october
22.-Lieut. w. A. Brooke, pilot on a
South American air route, and former
instructor for the District of Columbia
Air Legion, failed to collect $1,217.50
which he claimed due him by the
Legion for teaching service, when a
circuit court jury decided he had been
fully paid, and brought in a verdict
for the defendant Monday.
Lieut.. Brooke claimed the Legion,
which is an organization Of aviation en-
thusiasts who Clipped in" to buy a
plane and to learn to fly, agreed to pay
him a monthly salary as ground school
instructor and later paid him only
for each hour Of flying time.
Attorneys Waldo Burnside and Robert
w. Mccullough, who appeared for the
Legion, contended that this hourly
compensation took the place Of the
salary, but Brooke claimed both were
due him.
When the suit was first fled Brooke
attached the Air Legion's plane, then
kept at the College Park Airport. The
organizations flying school has since
been moved to Hybla Valley, Va.
Sheriff Charles s. Early said the air
plane was the most unusual object he
has been called upon TO attach.

LOS ANGELES, october 22.--Gloria
Swanson's long heralded suit for divorce
from the Marquis Henri de la Falaise de
Ia Coudrraye was on file here today.
The screen stars attorney filed the
suit yesterday, charging "willful and
malicious desertion." Confirming state
ments made at the time the question
of divorce was preached, the marquis
said he would not contest the action.
The couple was married in Paris,
January %, 1925, and separated q year
ago, the complaint stated. The couple
has no children and Miss Swanson
did not ask for alimony There Is no
community property, the divorce petit
ton said.
Both principals professed admiration
for the other.
The suit was the beginning of the end
for Miss SwanSon's third matrimonial
movies she was married to Wallace
Beery, screen villain. They were di-
vorced in 1919, Berry charging deser-
ton. After she had managed to survive
the rigors of many Western" serials
and claim something of a reputation
as a leading actress, Miss Swanson
married Herbert Somborn, a wealthy
resident of Pasadena, only to have him
divorce her because "She placed her
career above everything else"
The marquis, who has been seen often
in the company of Constance Bennett,
film actress, since the separation, said
this friendship had nothing to do With
the divorce.

CHICAGO, october 22.-The spotlight
Of investigation flashing again today on
the staying June 8 of Alfred Lingle.
Tribune reporter, revealed George (Bugs)
Moran, gangless gang leader, IN a ges-
ture Of defiance.
"I am not afraid Of any one" Moran

vagrancy charge, following his arrest
early yesterday In resort near Antioch.
Chicago Is my home and I'm going TO
stay here. I won't be run out by cops,
courts, citizens or crooks"

had been since the Lingle Staying, Mo-
ran said he had been there and there"

ran insisted he had nothing against
