As a Commercial Center.
AS the car leaves the terminus near the
bridge 1t is easy to see that the sur
roundings are similar to those on the
other side of the river In Georgetown,
where the water front is given over to
business. Rosslyn is essentially such a
center, and it's characteristics in this
way have been increased by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad making 1t a freight termi-
nal for a large portion Of the business
that comes over it's lines to this city
There 10 q bank there. and other business
concerns. The commercial importance OF
Rosslyn appears to be growing.
But room for business Is not the pri-
mary cause of the trolley line being so
we'll equipped or having such a fine sched-
ule or for other evidences Of prosperity
which are to be seen in this section. AS
one skirts the military reservation he
comes to a subdivision of land where
there are streets and houses. Such use
Of the land grows more frequent the far
ther he goes out. 1t Is evident that the
growth OF the great center of Washing
ton has a good deal to do with changes
which are taking place in the country on
the other side of the river.

The reflection that is commonly sug-
gested by the recent tribute paid to
LEnfant, the French engineer, and In
fact has generally found expression in
connection with the accounts of the re-
moval of his remains from an unmarked
grave to prominent place In the nation
al cemetery at Arlington, is the tardy
public recognition of the man and his
work. AS has been commonly empha-
sized. such a tribute comes after he has
rested in an unnamed grave for some
eighty y-four years.
The dates made a strong prima facfc
case of ingratitude and neglect, but
this is largely superficial view, when
1t 10 considered for what LEnfant is
honored at this day. The demonstra-
tion that has taken place. and which
assumed the proportions of a national
tribute, was entirely to the memory Of
a man who is the author OF the plan
of the city of Washington.
Only in Recent Years.
1t is also well known that It has
only been in comparatively recen.
years. certainly not farther back than
twenty-five years. that there has been
any general appreciation of the artis-
tic merits of the plan and its contribu-
ton to sanitary, wholesome living
Within that period has sprung up In
this country. or rather has been devel.
oped the movement toward the beauti-
tcatiOn of cities by adding to the park

Before that time less attention wa:
paid to parks in cities where the Da
bies, more especially, could have access
to the abundance of light and air. The
architecture of buildings and the ap
pearance of the streets was a matter
of unipportance. The formal rectan
gular arrangement of the streets, will

however, public attention has become
aroused to the fact that the daily sur
roundings of ones life has an infiu-
ence of consequence on that life, with
the result that provision has been
made in cities for parks and open
places where none have before ex-
listed, and in some cities scheme Of
artistic treatment of the approaches has
been adopted or is being considered. Then.
there is the playground movement and
the one in favor OF improving the sani-
tary condition of dwellings.
In other words. the public sentiment of
this country has changed in this re-
spect, and what was before looked upon
as of little consequence has now as
sumed such. proportions that cities are
willing to add to their bonded Indebted
ness in order to make up for the de-
fects of the original plan. and to pro-
vide parks, which are now recognized
as needed not only for comfort and
the sense of beauty on the part Of the
citizens.
The unanimity with which this belated
tribute has been yielded to the genius

spect to distance from the center this
long arm of communication corresponds
with the trolley to Rockville and the one
to Laurel.
Due to the Trolley.
The time was when the only means OF
communication between this section and
the city was by the steam rail. It was
through this agency that several places
between Clarendon andOIalls Church as
well as beyond that place were built up.
But the new life that is everywhere visi-
BILE has been noted only since the birth of
the trolley, and especially since its reju-
yenation.
