Elm Tree Bug Causing Many Headaches In London

LONDON. (Reuters) - A little bug called "scolyf-ill dentructor" has brought death from Dutch elm disease to more than 1.000 of Lon-1 don'j beautiful elm trees and I giant headache in the minister of Words.

When the bug-known in Canada as elm bark bettle-gets to work hurrowing away at the roots of an elm. a branch of a tree that has slond the test of time for nearly 21:0 years is likely suddenly to drop lllorl-as to the ground.

Modesty Seen Cause of Death

LONDON, (Reuters) -e A "very secretary

lnodesf" 34-year-old tripped. fell into the Thames and

was drowned-because she was too

proper to lift her skirt. a cor- oner's court was told here Tues- day.

The drowning occurred after Miss Gladys Margaret Hook tried to step from a yacht gangway into a dingy and lost her footing.

Asked if he could account for the accident. Frederick D. Gosling. company director and part owner of the yacht. told the court: "Her skirt may have restricted her movements. She was a modest ':irl. Rather than lift her skirt, she vould allow it to get in her way."

A verdict of accidental death van recorded.
