BEAUTY OF BUILDINGS
ON ANCIENT ACROP0LIS
Lecture by Prof. Prentice on can
cient Athens in the Modern
City"

Ancient Athens in the Modern City
was the subject of a lecture by Prof.
william Kelly Prentice Of Princeton at
Washington Society of the Archaeological
Institute of America last night at the
National Cathedral School. where the
society was the guest of Mrs. Barbour
Walker. Charles Henry Butler, president
Of the society, presided and introduced
Prof. Prentice. who was at one time pro-
fessor Of the American School at Athens.
Prof. Prentice Illustrated his lecture with
lantern slides. He said in part:
mo one who goes to Athens and sees
for himself the buildings on the Acropolis
can fan to be impressed by the charm OF
these buildings, and the influence which
they exert even in their ruined state.
They seem to be very simple buildings,
and one is il ned to suspect that some
Of their APP. IT charm may be due to
sentimental associations Close study,
however, has shown that this ancient ar
chitecture is far less simple than 1t ap-
pears; 1t aimed at an ideal perfection OF
form apart from decoration, which ap-
peals even to a casual traveller These
buildings have a quality, even when
when new; they seem somehow pure and
holy, and the sight of them brings to
peoples minds something more than the
practical considerations of daily life.
The names of new members of the
Washington Society were announced as
follows: James H. Draper Miss Amaryais
Gillett Mrs. Thomas B. Hutchinson, Prof.
Oscar A. MechHn, Dr. Chase Palmer, Miss
Helen G. Stewart, William F. Willough-

HOSPITAL AFTER NEW SITE.
Trustees Of Emergency Hampered in
Search by Lack Of Funds.

Incident to the approaching removal of
the Emergency Hospital from its present
building at 10Th and D streets northwest,
when that property is acquired by the
government as q part of the addition to
the Mall. the building committee Of the
hospital held a meeting yesterday after
noon to discuss the progress Of the search
for new site. It is understood that the
officers of the institution are in a guam
Diary because of lack of sufficient funds
with which to purchase lot Of the size
desired In the downtown section and to
erect upon 1t a modern hospital building.
II the Emergency Hospital is to con-
tinue to fill the Office its name implies it
is imperative that it be centrally located.
and for this reason several proffered sites
have been declined. among them being
the medical school building of the George
town University, at $40 II street north
west.
The committee has been considering the
Montrose Hotel property, 14th and II
streets northwest. but owing to the fact
that adjacent property sold only recently
for $50 a foot, II is obvious to the trus-
tees of the Emergency Hospital that
they cannot consummate such a deal un-
less generous support be accorded the in
stitution by the public.

OPPOSES CENTRAL BODY|
STAND BY NORTH CAPITOL AND
LEXINGTON ASSOCIATION.
Declare Merger Would Mean Loss of
ldentity-Address on Civic
Beauty.

Richard B. Watrous, secretary OF the
American Civic Association, and ]. NJ.
Woods, superintendent of the street
cleaning department, addressed the men,
bers Of the North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association last night on civic
ideals at the monthly meeting, held in
st. Martins Hall. North Capitol and T
streets Mr.. Watrous explained the OBJ
jects Of the association of which he Is
secretary in furthering the best in civic
development. The second speaker told of
the aims of his department in aiding the
city fathers to maintain the standard set
for the city beautiful
We aim to make things more beauti-
full, more healthfui and the people OF the
land more happy said Mr.. Watrous.
I'm accomplishing these objects we have
become specialists in city planning, home
identifying and sanitation. not to men,
ton numerous other things which come
within the scope Of our work.
The association decided not to partici
pate in the effort to organize a central
committee of citizens associations for
the purpose of working for the Districts
interests along with other civic organi
cations. The suggestion that the asso-
citation take no further part in the move
ment was on the recommendation of the
executive committee.
We have tried this thing a number of
times before" said a member of the exc
cutiye committee. And each time after
a through Investigation We have declined.
There is no reason why we should alter
our past attitude in the matter. >
The grounds for the executive commit
tees recommendation are that If we par
ticipate in the organization of this CEN
trail federation or central body the asso-
citation loses its individuality and we be-
come everything but the thing for which
we organized. The Board of Trade and
the Chamber of Commerce are fully able
to take care of the entire District. 1t is
our duty to further the interests of our
particular section
Other members of the association ad-
vocated a postponement of final action on
the matter until the April meeting A
vote was called for. however. and the lat
ter suggestion was lost. The recommen-
dalton of the executive committee was
finally adopted by majority OF one vote
