Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEoNARDTowN, Md. December
14.-Leonardtown's famous old initial
tree Is down and many sweethearts
will be sad, perhaps, as they learn
this. The tree, an old beachnut, had
inscribed and cut in its trunk and
limbs hundreds Of initials of lovers
of long ago now married and others
who have died, according to the old
timers here in this city.
The tree, On the Tudor Hall estate
on Brettons Bay, stood near the water
and in the yesteryears at one time
had benches under 1t and was q popu-
lar lovers rendezvous. To show the
deep affection for one another the
young folks would cut with penknives
their initials together on the tree. A
the tree grew taller the initials would
grow higher and the bark would cover
some Of them over making them
finally become obliterated. However,
some of the initials still stood out
against the hand Of time and could
be made out. But the tree, rottening
from lack OF care, has fallen down and
has been cut up for firewood by Willie
Thompson, who has q shack near the
tree. Thompson says that If the tree
could talk It would tell some very In
teresting tales about the younger set
Of long ego, who met beneath the
tree and carved their initials on ita
trunk.

Besides the ingredient Of sincerity,

thing else, also personal. I dislike the

Fisherman Would Use Nets
to Rid Capital of Starlings
But Lanham Turns DO,cn Proposition
Because Pests Aren't Likely to
Submit to Capture.

An elderly Chesapeake Bay fisher
man may or may not have the an
swer to the starting problem-an an
swer badly needed Just now because
lack Of funds, for the first time IN
years, has deprived the District Of
its only defense against the pests.
The fisherman was enthusiastic
about his idea when he hastened into
the Office of Clifford Lanham, super
intendent Of trees and parking and
the Districts official starting chaser,
until lack Of funds eliminated that
duty.
He had an unusual proposition. He
wanted permission to string fish nets
about the ledges of the District
Building where the starlings roost.
Would Borrow Nets.
He would borrow the nets, he said,
from minded fishermen Of this
vicinity. All he required was permis-
sion to set the nets on District prop
erty.
Lanham thought There might be
no objection. but long experience with
starlings had forced him to be prac-
tical.
Say we let you string the nets, !"
Mr.. Lanham said. How are you go
ing to catch starlings in them?"
why" said the fisherman, they'll
fly into the nets, Of course-like the
fish swim in"
Can you see the nets?" Lanham
asked.
'"Sure I can!"
"Well. why do you think your eyes
are better than starling's?"
The fisherman. somewhat crest
fallen, rose to leave with the remark
that the District was turning down a
fine opportunity because he would
work free if he could have the
starlings he netted.
Fine Eatin'," He Says.
He shook his head as he went out
the door:
"Starlings make fine eatin'," he
muttered.
The Commissioners, upon Lanham's
recommendation, asked for $4,000
this year from the w. p. A. to dupli-
cate last years work in curbing star
lings. The request, however, has
never been approved.
Last season Lanham, aided by
emergency relief workers and a
$4,000 appropriation, all but rid
downtown Washington of the pests.
The relief workers shook tin can rat
ties and f1aunted gas balloons under
the roosts night after night, until
the starlings, despairing Of getting
any rest, departed for other havens.

year before last. This year. however.

Congress in recent years appears to
have forgotten one Of its perennial
problems-what to do about finishing
the uncompleted historical frieze in
the rotunda of the Capitol.
The frieze consists of a series of
fresco pictures and was intended to
encircle the base Of the great dome,
but a blank space Of more than 20
feet still remains undecorated on the
west side Of the rotunda.
The painting of the frieze was
started in the early days of the Capitol
by Constantine Brumidi, who worked
on it until his death in 1880. He was
succeeded by Filippo Costaggini, but at
the time of his death there was still
an unfinished space of 26 feet in the
chain of pictures.
Proposal Passes Unfunded.
In later years another artist, c. A.
Whipple, added one more painting to
the circle and in 1925 and 1926 Con-
gress seemed on the verge of provid-
ing for the final work that would close
the gap in the circle. A resolution
authorizing completion Of the work
was passed, but the necessary appro-
priation was not made. Since that
time there has been little or no dis
cuSsion of the subject.
Whenever the subject has been con-
sidered, two important questions have
arisen: First, whether it should be
finished as started, with paintings in
wet plaster, or the entire circle be re-
placed by a sculptural frieze, carved
in marble or limestone; second. which
events in the most recent history of
America should be chosen for COM
memoration in the narrow strip avail
