CONTIN EN- TAI HALL
A SITE SELECTED FOR THE PRO-
POSED D.. A. R. HEADQUARTERS.
Large Block of Ground Chosen on 18th
Street South of Corcoran
Art Gallery.

A decision has been reached as to loca
quarters in this city of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. The site selected
is on the west side of 18th street between
and d streets northwest, opposite the
grounds south of the White House and just
south of the building of the Corcoran Art
Gallery. The latter owns the entire 'front.'
age on nth street of the square between
New York avenue and E street, while the
Daughters will acquire the entire frontage
on the same street of the square between c
ample. as it comprises some 5000 square
feet. There is an extended frontage Of 21O
feet nth street and about 100 feet on
both c and D streets.
1t is thought that the exposure on three
Streets is of special advantage, as the main
feature of the proposed new structure is to
be hall with a seating capacity of about
1000. Here will be held the annual gather
ings of the organization, and provision will
also be made for offices for the permanent
headquarters of the society in this city.
Mrs. Fairbanks, the president of the So
ciety, and the ladies associated with her,
have given the subject of location care
full consideration. and 1t is believed that
their choice will be found to more nearly
meet the requirements than any of the
numerous places that have been submitted.
The avenue cars now run down F and G
streets and the Metropolitan cars pass the
corner of 18th and H streets so that the
new location is within easy access of the
two street systems of this city.

nicatfon stated when local grocers might
expect to receive fresh bread for the noon
and early afternoon trade. The Grocers'
Association expressed a willingness to ac-
cept the change in the tine of delivery

1t is the purpose of the grocers' associa-
ton to secure legislation which will force
