Lafayette Square Elm,
; Feet Thick, Cut Down

A magnificent American elm, be-
lieved to be one of the original
trees in Lafayette Square, was be-
ing taken down in sections today
because its decaying limbs were a
menace to pedestrians.
The tree. three feet in diameter,
was struck by lightning several
years ago. Although trimmed and
treated at the time, tree surgeons OF
the National Capital Parks decided
the time had come when the stately
branches were becoming hazard.
One of the row of American elms
bordering the east sidewalk of the
park, the tree is directly opposite
the old Belasco Theater. Tree sur
geons are trimming some of the
other trees in the park, all of which
appear to be in excellent condition
The work is being done in connec-
ton with the annual spring doctor
ing of trees in all the National
Capital parks.

Art is still art, even when sur
rounded by fish and bologna.
This was the consensus OF hun
dreds of persons, who last night
attended a preview of an unusual
exhibition of paintings and sculp-
ture in Center Market at Fifth
end K streets NV.
The idea of exhibiting the more
than 100 paintings and dozen
figurines is to encourage greater
appreciation among the people, who
can gaze at art while they shop for
kippers, from today through June 81.
The hours are the same as those
for the market, from Z am. to s
pm. weekdays, and 6 am. to 7 pm.
Saturdays.
In the days of Greek and Roman
glory, people could see fine paintings
and sculpture in the market place.
The idea Is to recreate that at
mosphers.

the position of the Chamber
is that we are without suffi-

demands careful study be-
cause it is an economic meas
ure not only affecting improv-
ed status Of tenants but also
landlords, banks, and insur-
ance companies. A rent con-
troll law is not like a police
ordinance or amendment to
local law, he said but damands
study.
