BUILDING DURING WINTER.
L. E. Breuninger Takes Advantage

A good part of the vacant ground in tine

PHYSICAL Fitness for Business Men
COMBATING ENEMIES.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion.

and guns. Physical fitness is to guard us
against enemies within us, which are our
own pOiSOns and wastes.
Once in a lifetime one may have the
unhappy experience of meeting a high
wayman or having his home burglarized.
Perhaps half a dozen times during the
course Of an ordinary mortaTs existence
some enemy or tough will place a person
in jeopardy. But every second of every
day of every year we are beset by the
enemies that We can't see.
Physical fitness is to place the body in
such condition that We may be guarded
against these unseen but ever-ready enc
mics. Only when one knows that ones
very life is to be forfeited in an encoun-
ter, is one really justified to take a
chance in an unequal combat. 1t is UNI
equal because the person attacked by
the hold-up man is taken off his guard.
The man who carries a pistol is in
worse shape than the fellow who goes I'M
armed, police officials excepted. The like
iihood of an attack on a street is both
small and remote. but the chances of at
tack through adverse bodily conditions
are ever great and always present. These
are the enemies We must guard against,
because they are million times more
deadly than our human enemies.

New Public Building Has Ar

Quarters in It.

HYATTSVILLE. Md. January 25.-The
formal dedication of the new municipal
and fire department building, which took
place here Thursday evening. marked
the contamination of another important
development in the material prosperity
of the municipality. The ceremonies were
simple and during the evening several
hundred citizens inspected the building
from cellar to garnet. The unanimous
sentiment prevailed that the structure
was distinct credit TO Hyattsville. and
an evidence OF the spirit OF progress which
has characterized the citizens and tax
payers of the municipality for the past
fifteen OF twenty years.
The formal addresses were made in the
main auditorium on the second floor,

Scope in Detached Houses.

The prevailing style in architecture as
well as the change in taste and in fashion
can be studied in the sections of the city
where the small house predom!nates, but
of course the large house that perhaps
stands detached, gives a more ample OPP
portunity for scope in expression. There
is. perhaps, hardly an architect Of note
In this country who has not at least one
example of his style in this city. but, OF
course, for the most part the variety and
abundance of such forms Is due to the
skill and taste of Washington archltects'
and to their clients, who have ideas to be
carried out Another incentive to variety
in design is due TO the unusual shapes
of the building sites.
Varying Styles of Lots.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-01-25

The recording, during the week. of the
deed for the transfer of the residence of
former Senator Foraker, at the north
west corner of 10Th and p streets north
west, to Mrs. ID. p. Blodgett, brings to a
close one of the largest transactions in
property of this sort that has been made
for several years. 1t is entitled to this
class both because of its size and also
the price paid. AS to the latter, it is not
mentioned in the deed, as the considera-
ton given is nominal.
1t is so seldom a residence of the larger
type in this city changes hands that there
is but little basis of comparison even
when figures are mentioned. While a
great many houses OF this kind are built
year after year, they are the result of
plans for providing permanent home
for their owners. They are designed es-
pecialIy with this in view, and the in
terror arrangements and furnishings and
fittings are intended for the enjoyment
and comfort of a home.
Public Opinion Has Effect.
At the same time, the current notions
about the exterior and interior forms and
the arrangements of the space are not
disregarded, for in the building of homes
as we'll as In other directions of human
activity, the influence of what others do
and the course of public opinion is not
without it's effect. The changes Of taste
can be traced as one walks along the
residence streets of the city and observes
the various forms of domestic archltec-
ture with almost the same certainty as.
turning over the pages of back numbers
Of fashion Journals. the shifting in the
styles in clothing can be noted.
Such a course of development or of
change is registered perhaps more clear
ly in the architecture OF dwellings In
this city than perhaps any other In the
country for the reason that for the most
part the houses have been built by those
intending to occupy them. and show in
dividuality. The variety to be seen
here in architectural types and forms has
also an influence upon those who build
houses for sale, so that there are few
examples of the dull mOnotony produced
by street after street lined on both sides
with houses exactly alike. The builder of
such houses also aims to have variety,
and gets it, too.
