OLD INHABITANTS .
PLAN PRESERVATION
OF WASHINGTON Inn
Building Constructed by
First President May Be
Used as Memorial.

To show for all time the quality of
building which George Washington did
in the Capital, the Oldest Inhabitants
Association is planning to prevent the
loss of one OF the buildings erected un-
der the direction Of the FIRST Presidents
the building which is now known as the
Washington Inn, on the west side of
North Capitol street. between B and
c streets.
M. /. Weller. who recently made the
suggestion to the association that the
building be purchased and the materials
used to construct memorial, Is watch
Ing the course of the Government i'm
provement to the vicinity, and will in
form the association when the old build
Ing Is in danger of destruction by con-
demnation Of the adjoining property for
Government use.
Mr.. Weller is a member of the COM
mission condemning the property be-
tween the Capitol and the Union Sta
ton. While the square in which the
Washington building stands is not in
view for Government improvement Mr.:
Weller thinks that the association should
be prepared to rescue the old building
when It is marked for destruction.
The building originally was In two
parts, and their construction was COM
menced under the supervision OF the
first President. The materials are in
excellent condition. If the Government
takes this square and the buildings
have to be razed, It is the plan of Mr..
Weller to have the association buy the
materials, and Of them erect house as
a memorial to the building construction
which President Washington insisted
upon for the Capital City.

a SAVING PEOPLE.

In reply to the charge that this
country is run for the millionaire. the
New York Herald cites these facts:
Members building and loan assocda-
tons. 2.216,91c.
Families who own. homes. $500. 200.
Number Of depositors in savings
banks, e,5s7.1s5. .a
Number Of life insurance policies
es.98s.5se ....- -
Those figure. mean that a great pro-
portion of the people are saving Al
most 10000. 900 of deposttors In saw
inss banks, but there are multitudes
outside of that figure who are laying
something aside, and there are a great
many who seem to be savers. besides
a great many who are living content
eddy on what they do not save.
These statistics show that special
conditions are largely dominated by
the Individual. and that Is the real
aim OF government-to establish the
supremacy of the individual, along
with a purpose to make that indepen-
dence add something to better citizen
ship. The American has a chance. and
a good deal better chance than he
would have anywhere else. and he is
tending to improve his chance.
