By Consolidvted Press. NEW YORK, September 1 we going (o be a treeless city are we perhaps going.to be a citizen- less city? It looks 8o, on both counts. As droop the trees, =0 droops the population. Gasoline fumes are the reason. Tree lovers hereabouts are weeping over the fact that the first touch of frost did not turn the trees as healthy a.russet or red as the| utumn styles and the laws of horti- ulture demand. Our trees are grow- ing as pale and bloodless as our traffic cops, and from the same cause. It's the auto American tourists broad thi %0, stigation carried on in behalf of both cops and trees has at iast brought the investigators to the clusion that the gasoline abroad is not as the gasoline here.

In_ thd old nursery district of | Flushing there is, alse, a locally famous weeping beech. This gigantia tree rises to a height of perhaps hundred feet, from which its branches | droop to the ground like a leafy fountain. Thus drooping, they form a green, circular dimly lit room, bara of grass for some 75 feet around the enormpus trunk.

One moral Is that the soil and air of New York City are ready and eager to nourish magnificent” specimens. The other is that if gas fumes can so decidedly wipe out our trees, they are likely to blight and perhapd eventually swipe out our children.
