Apartments in Washington.

The apartment house represents the
effort to utilize a minimum OF land
for the dwellings OF maximum of
families Its growth in all the pro-
gressive cities has been nothing short of
marvel. A characterization OF the
apartment house would place it about
midway between the hotel and the
home. as represented in the separate
house occupied by single family 1t
embraces also a community of service
Statistics recently compiled BY the
District authorities show that Wash
ington has $50 apartment houses.

of these buildings are in that part of
the city designated on the District rec
ordS as the county," that 1871 are in
the northwest portion OF the city. thir-
southeast, and ten in the southwest.
In other words, the apartment is the
selected home of the richer class OF
people i'll the northwest. section. and
the figures indicate what is recog-
nizcd fact, that this form of COM
munity dwelling is far removed from
the tenement of the older cities, and
has about it none of the conditions or
traditions OF that haven of the poor.
The apartment house in Washington
is an evolution of the last thirteen
years. as the first one constructed in
the city was in 1899. Their multi
plicity and their great size and cost
are the most striking features of
the building operations in Washington
since the turn of the century. MANY
are wondering and have wondered how
much further the movement toward liv-
ing in apartments is to extend. 1t will
also be an interesting question whether
the community house will in future
take on more and more features of
community living.

DID NOT ACT WISELY.

such Is an Opinion in Maryland
Anticipating Measure.
Prom the Philadelphia Pres
The Maryland legislature which
voted down the anti-lynchIng bill, has
not done anything that will reflect
credit on the State. The act was de-
signed to throw not only the RESPONSE
bility for lynching disorders upon the
communities in which they occur. but
to provide some penalty for failure TO
prevent them. 1t provided a fine of
$4,000 for the municipality and gave
the governor authority TO remove ON
cials who had not performed their duty
to prevent the crime. 1t may not have
been complete measure, but its pas
sage would have declared the sense OF
the legislature, and that would have
been to the credit of the entire State.
