Hardly a bathing suit of this

Annapolis Roads, Sunday, and
when Mrs. Paul Armstrong was
appointed to approach former
Senator Hira m Bingham and
Mr.. John Philip Hill to suggest
that they endeavor to secure a
loan from the PWA for new suits,
Mr.. Hill assured the lady that
he had no interest in bathing
suits and pointed out that he
was wearing t-down dun

Summer colonists of Great

has gone forth that Mrs. Reggie

term there. That a Vanderbilt
would consider residing in that
pleasant Long Island settlement

quite a furore. as Newport has
always been thought to be the
social stronghold Of the Wander

that Mrs. Vanderbilt might
lease Nine. Alda's place, but
that is now impossible. A we'll

and already plans a number Of

Beetle Proves Big Waterbury Problem
 Says Park Director
This Way-Public Spirited Citizens Can Prevent Destruction Here By Having EIms Inspected

Historic old elms which have graced the green and other parks in Watertown for many years are facing destruction because of the rapid spread of the Dutch Elm disease in the state, Lee A. Strong, chief of the U. S. Bureau of Plant Quarantine, declares in a special dispatch to the Democrat from Washington to-day.
 No Damage Here Yet
 Although the disease has not yet done any damage in Water bury, the rapidity with which trees in Greenwich and Stamford are being infected leads officials to be. lieve that it may keep going until 1t has struck every tree in the state. Irving w. Harrison, superin- tendent of the park department, said this morning that so far the Elm tree beetle had proved the greatest problem locally.
 The Washington dispatch says:
 The disease already is killing trees in the vincity of Greenwich and Stamford and spreading north- ward and officials here are frankly afraid that 1t may keep going un-. til 1t infects every elm tree in Wa terbury and other sections of the state further north
 Lack of Funds Hurt
 Because of a lack of funds, the federal government is unable to do any more than it already is doing in Connecticut to combat this in- lection and efforts put forth to date, Dr. Strong admits, is not enough to save the remaining live trees.
 For that reason" he says, "ad- ditional funds must be raised if the remaining elms are to live and he suggests that if individual com munities want to save what re- maining elms they have considera- tion should bc given to means of fighting this infection locally.
 There is still a chance for Wa terbury to prevent the destruction of its elms," he says. Public spir- ited citizens should make some ar rangement to see that every elm tree in the city ard adjacent areas is inspected. If any traces of the disease are found the office of the
