Natures Children
American Elm
(Ulmus americana)

branches are gray also and the
twigs reddish brown. You can we'll
imagine how this tree will look
In March when the winters gray
veil will be replaced by the flowers
on their slender dropping pedicels
In umberlike clusters. They are
perfect, the male and female flowers
on the same stem and q greenish-
red which has the effect Of making
the elm appear to be gowned in
coral. BY April the alternate
leaves, 2 to 6 inches long, unequal
at the base. smooth and silverlined,
arrive. Comes May, and the tree
Is filled with oval fruit, with wings
formed for sailing the airways. And
the first thing you know it Is sum-
mer again and the queenly elm is
clothed in her garment of green,
casting kindly shade for her neigh
bors to rest under. Others, too, re-
joice at the sight of her as they
race by.

any other, once you have q clear
mental picture Of its vase-shaped
outline. It grows straight up from
the ground with a few small
branches decorating its trunk
which divides some distance from
the ground into large branches.
The elm belongs to the family Of
the nettle-hence its name Urtica-
ceae and ulmus Is an old, old Latin
name for the genus. Six elms are
native to Eastern North America
out Of the 16 species scattered in
the North temperate countries of
the world.
You may grow your elm from
seeds or from root ends. You may
have cutting from q famous tree;
or you may use buds or gratis. That
shows how adaptable this elm Is.
The roots are water lovers and
reach deep down into the rich soil
to the water-table. Many strong,
f1brous roots are established. This
also makes 1t possible to move good
sized trees, giving them in their
new home an abundance Of room
to spread. They should not be
planted too close to . pipe system,
for they either clog up the drain
age opening with the mass OF roots
or they dislodge . stationary pipe
as the tree grows and develops q
sturdier foundation.
In the winter study the elms that
have enjoyed the open fields to
become familiar with the main
trunk. It divides at is to 20 feet
from the ground, the great branches
sending out limbs that form .
broad crown. A height Of l20 or
140 feet is not unusual for an elm
with q field all It's own.

Recitalists
Again Charm
Audience
Adolf Busch and
Rudolf Serkin
Return
BY ELENA DE SAYN,

The return of Adolf Busch, VIOLIN
list. and Rudolf Serkin, pianist, to
the Library Of Congress for one Of
their famous duo recitals last night,
under the auspices of the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation, was
another occasion when the hall was
not large enough to accommodate
all. This extraordinary team, whose
perfection Of ensemble is an object
OF continual wonderment for more
reasons than one, including the
unique custom Of playing every
thing from memory, has endeared
itself to the Washington music lov-
ers to q superlative degree.
Bach's "E Major Sonata" Mo.
zart's "A Major Sonata, XIV. 526"
and Busoni's "E Minor Sonata,
Op. 30A" were the liberal offerings
Of the evening, the last work being
practically unknown.
Busoni was strong In his belief
that the music Of the future will
eventually be liberated from the set
forms Of composition and will regain
It's freedom which was its birthright
from the beginning Of musical Gre
alton. Chamber music opens ave-
nues for limitless expression Of
ideas and Busonis sonata brims
over with them. At his best when
he drew inspiration from other COM
posers he wrote 1t in style OF a
fantasie, with he cantilena resting
exclusively in the violin, the COM
poser divides the first movement
into three distinctive parts. The
latter forms an introduction to the
second movement built on Bach's
chorale, "Wie Wohl ist mir" with
variations by Busoni. With the
theme played first by the piano, the
composer skillfully develops his ma
terial, returning eventually to the
| original chords, this time inter-
preted as II it were q concluding
amen" Busoni has given many an
opportunity to either instrument
for the display of tone and tech
nique. always subservient, however,
to the ideas contained in the work.
Submerged In those, the artists pre-
sented them with great beauty. 1t
was remarkable to see Mr.. Serkin
at the piano, with the top raised
high, yet never once disturbing the
playing Of his partner by too much
volume. Mr.. Busch had another
opportunity for using a singing tone
in the two "adagios" of Bach's
sonata, which opened the program
His tone seemed rounder and more
flexible. He was at his best in Bach
and Busoni. Mozart's work served
as q bridge between the two and
added lighter touch to the eve
ming.
There will be another concert to-
morrow afternoon given by the same
ensemble. It will be broadcast in
part.

"You are very kind, Frau Weber" !"
Cameron said. "You have been
marvellous to take us into pro-
tect u.s."
"But what shall we do?" Claire
asked, panic-stricken at the pros
pect of being turned out In the
streets.
"This is an emergency" the Ger
man woman said. I'VE must meet it
as such. No word has come through
yet, but I'm sure 1t will. Your best
chance is to go back to where you
arrived, fraulein-to Pichelsdorf.

said. "A way we have used before.

Frau Weber supervised replacing
the bandage on Cameron's foot.
"You must take your crutches,
too," she advised. "A crippled man
in uniform will attract little or no
attention. and the fraulein will be
taken for a friend or a relative,
helping the injured soldier along"
While she was talking Lii had
been getting an ironing board from
the kitchen. At first glance it ap-
peared like any other board, but to
the astonishment Of the Americans,

Frau Weber carefully explained
