Edward j. Flynn, United States
commissioner general to the New
York Worlds Fair, probably will
be called on to explain why a IA
foot statue of Abraham Lincoln,
costing the Government about
$4,000, has disappeared from the
Federal Building at the Worlds
Fair and is reported to have been
destroyed.
This was indicated today as
an unofficial investigation was
launched into the mystery of what
became of the statue.
M. Charles Ackley, head photog-
rapher of the section of fine arts,
Procurement Division, Treasury De-
partment, who has just returned
from the fair, brought back with
him picture he made of the Lin
coin Statue the day before it dis
appeared. He described it as beau
tiful statue in a pool Of water
with flowing fountains.
The next morning, on opening
day of the fair, last Sunday, when
he went to look for it the statue
was gone, said Mr. Ackley. There
was nothing in its place but the
smooth pool of water.
Theodore T. Hayes, executive as
sistant of the United States Worlds
Fair Commission, explained that an
order had been given for removal
of the statue because it was too
big, far too high and hid all the
lighting"
Shocked at disappearance of the
statue was Louis Slobodkin, sculp-
tor. He took his wife to the fair
on opening day to see it. To his
amazement, the sculpture which he
had seen there before, had disap-
peared. He is indignant and has
aroused members of two sculptors'
groups to which he belongs
Protests are being planned by the
National Sculptors' Society and the
Sculptors' Union, to which Mr..
Slobodkin belongs.

Department., under whose super
vision a contest for sculpture at the
Federal Building was carried on,
was at the affair.
II can't believe that the statue
was really destroyed by Mr.. Hayes" I"
he said. TT was very beautiful
piece of art work. Why should any,
one want to destroy it so ruthlessly?"
Since the Federal Building at the
fair, however, is under Jurisdiction
of the United States commissioner
general and the commission COM
posed of Federal officials, the Treas
ury Department feels that the trou-
BILE is mot its problem"
Elsewhere, however, there were
indications that the matter would
be presented today to the Depart
ment of Justice.

which is located in the Department

Kerchief on Display at
Harvard as True Crimson

CAMBRIDGE.-The official Har-
ward crimson kerchief, adopted in
1910 as the standard of the college
color and since kept on deposit in
university archives, is on public ex-
hibit at the Widener library.
The silk kerchief first was worn
by a member of Harvard's 1853
crew. Because of the distinguishing
"arterial blood" shade, similarly
dyed kerchiefs were worn in en-
suing Naces. In 1910 a duplicate of
the 1858 kerchief was made and
adopted to "standardize the GRIM
son."
Also on display is the football uni
form worn in the seasons of 1875,
1876 and 1877 by w. P. Lombard,
class of 1878. 1t consists of a WOOL
en- skull cap, flannel trousers and
knitted jersey sweater.

By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

This Is the time Of the year to
study the structure Of trees. Most
of them are bare, but the evergreens
offer you q most valuable oppor-
tunity to become better acquainted
with them.
The family Coniferae has in it
some famous members. There are
600 species and varieties which have
been described and named. That
places the Monterey among an illus
trious group, and while the family
traditions are faithfully followed,
this handsome pine, like its COM
panion and close kin, Torrey's pine,
lives rather secluded life in a very
narrow range in this country.
Pines, as you know, are our most
abundant trees0
You may find them together in
Santa Rosa Island, and both trees
occupy q narrow strip of territory
on the mainland Of California. Here
devoted admirers of this pine often
come. On Point Pinos, south of
Monterey, this tree grows in abun-
dance, and in this favorite situation
trees have reached skyward to the
height of 100 feet, with trunks that
have grown to be and even 6
feet in diameter.
The Monterey pine does not fur
nish strong wood for building pur-
poses or construction OF objects. It
is soft and weak. This protects the
tree and its place in the sun is to
