With plans fully mapped out and archi'

buildings for an exclusive community set
hement, the Chevy Chase to Great Fail.
Land Company is this week starting
upon one Of the most extensive and com.
prehensive subdivision operations at
tempted here in recent years.
Bradley Hills, the name of the new
subdivision, will contain 1900 acres ot
desirable land, beginning at the north.
west corner of the Chevy Chase Club
grounds and extending nine miles to the
northwest to Great Falls. The compre-
hensive plans, worked out by landscape
architects, villa designers, and veteran
suburban real estate promoters, include g
stone lodge at the southeastern end OF
the property, a handsome hotel, and a
2O0-acre natural park at the Great Falls
terminus, a double track car line inter-
secting the lines of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric and the Capital Trac-
ton companies, a magnificent boulevard
extending the length OF the property, and
a number of winding roads and lanes
adding both to the beauty and accessi-
bility of the spot.
The property is peculiarly fitted for
the combining OF an exclusive suburban
d
OF the land formerly was included in the
old Bradley estate, and the remainder
was early in de nand because of its natu-
raj advantages. The company considers
itself peculiarly fortunate to have OBJ
tanned so desirable a tract upon which
to work out what for Washington will
be in many respects a new departure
in the field of real estate exploitation.
Large Villa Sites.
The plan of the company is to have
the land surveyed and mapped of into
villa sites of from five to fifty acres each.
Several members of the Chevy Chase
Club, who are interested in the under
taking, already have selected large villa
sites and have local architects working
on the plans. The suburb will be unique
for Washington because of the size Of
the sites, according to the promoters.
Bradley lane is to be the name Of the

handsome boulevard, which has been
partly surveyed already. Surveyors alse
have been at work on the route for the
car line, which will be built next spring.
1t is planned to do the first grading
work early in March. The property
will be placed on the market early next
spring, according to the present plan Of
the company.
The landscape work and surveying is
in charge of E. J. Wendall, a well-known
Philadelphia expert, with whom John
Starkey and Addison H. Flournoy will
be associated. One of the principal SUBJ
jects of these men will be the natural
park at the northwestern end of the sub
division. The feature of this park will
be the lake there, a sheet of water
three-quarters of a mile long and one
quarter of a mile wide, of great natural
beauty. The park will be ribboned with
fine drives, leading from the hotel
through the entire suburb, and the
natural beauty of the place viii be fur
dens and shrubbery.
The company, which is capitalized at
s., 500, 900. is understood to have paid in
the neighborhood of S,0oO000 for the
property. The promoters, who have been
working on the plan for about eleven
months, include men of prominence both
here and in Philadelphia
Officers and Directors.
The officers of the company are as fol-

now some boys have actually learned
how to do 1t themselves. The Boy Scouts
have taken up the idea, and the art-a
mighty useful one under circumstances
easily imaginable-is being taught Incl

DR.. Hough (who Is, by the way, a
knight OF the Order Of Isabella of
Spain) has earned fame mainly, however,
through his explorations in the South
west, where he has studied the cliff
dwellers and has dug into the ruins OF
many prehistoric cities. He has devoted
more attention than any other living man
to working out the history OF the devel-
opment Of invention-for example, in the
case Of the stove. the progressive i'm
provement Of which may be said to have
marked the cultural advance Of the hu-

giving him no other name. He grew up;
on a farm, and while doing the usual
farm chores studied Latin, higher math-
ematics, astronomy. and law. Work
isg with his own hands at forge and
implements. Later on he took up geology
and ethnology, distinguishing himself
greatly in both branches of science.
Prof MCGEE is especially proud Of the
fact that he was "selt-educated." One
OF the foremost scientists Of the day, he
has taught himself everything he knows.
At the present time he Is connected with
the Bureau Of Soils in the Department
Of Agriculture. One Of his achievements
was the bringing together OF the remark
able assemblage Of wild and semi-wild
peoples from all parts Of the worll (which
did so much to make the st. Louis Ex-
position attractive.
His most noteworthy exploit. however,
was the visit he paid to the Seri Indians.
TheSe savages, the widest and most
ferocious in America, dwell on the great
island called Tiburon, in the Gulf Of
California No study had previously
been made Of them-which is not sur
prising inasmuch as they are reputed
cannibals, and are accustomed to muir

across. Prof. McGee escaped being

ernment's entomologist-in-chief, Is ex-

Service. He runs the bug end of that
branch Of the government, so to say.
DR.. Howard IS one Of the most famous
of living scientists, his reputation being
as high abroad as it is in this country.
He is particularly known as an authority
on the mosquito and the house fly. But
his greatest achievement has been the
development Of the utilization Of good
insects for nghtlng bad ones. At the
present time he is attacking by such
means the destructive gypsy moth in
success. RENE BACHE
