Too many people are too willing to let the hall of the house take care of itself the idea of appropriate fur nishings for it receives but scant attention which is wrong of course since of all places the hall should ex- tend a warm and courteous welcome.

New Mexico Ruins That Surpass

From the New York Sum-
Forgotten cities of prehistoric people,
far beyond what was deemed the fur

Indians, were reported today by Father
Julius Hartman of the Catholic parish at
Willard. Torrance county. to the School
of American Archaeology at Santa Fe.
Father Hartman was compelled to give
up his explorations by the severe wealth
er until next spring, but made a survey
OF sixty miles of ruins and rock inscrip-
tons extending from the present Mexican
village Of Pinoswells, Torrance county, to
the Canyon Pintada, in a region that is
desolate and uninhabited and touched
only at long intervals by sheep herders.
The ruins Of the village and communal
dwellings antedate the Spanish conquest
of 300 or more years ago. and, Judging
from the debris that covers the sites and
hides the ruins, the cities are LOCO or
more years old. The two villages near
est to Pinoswel.s are located on a high
mound and the communal buildings are
circular In form.

N|NETY-NINE YEAR
LEASES OLD IDEA
Their Origin Traced Back to Prob
able English
Law.

The ninety-nine year lease is merely
one classification of the ordinary lease as
to time. being a contract for the posses
sion of land and tenements in considera-
ton of the payment OF rents therefor and
the fulfilling of certain defined obligations
and containing clauses and provisions pro-
viding for the safeguarding of the inter
ests of both the lessor and the lessee"
declared Alexander s. Taylor of Cleve-
land. Ohio, in speaking before the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Ex-
changes recently.
The applied term of ninety-nin years
IS rather one of custom, having originat-
ed in England early in the seventeenth
century and in most common use in that
country. having been operative there since
the time lands We're decided by the crown
TO men Of power and nobility for services
rendered their government. These gentle
men, desiring not to part with their own
ershlp and to perpetuate life control, en-
tered into long-term leases TO provide
themselves and generations to follow with
a sure and safe income.
why leases We're entered into for de-
fined period of ninety-nine years We do
not know, excepting that investigation has
shown us that evidently during that pc
Rod there was a statute in force in Eng
land placing restrictions against a lease
made for 100 years or more so that nine
ty-nine years, being the longest term al
lowable, that was generally adopted. The
greater portion of land in London today
IS under long-term lease, some renewable
forever. And / am informed that on some
OF the original leases there are as many
as twenty everything leases, each based on
an increased rental. In London the fee of
property is seldom sold, the operation of
the real estate brokers being in the lease
hold rights alone. Some of the most no.
table landlords in England are today re-
ceiving fabulous sums as incomes from
ground leases.
The custom was brought to this coun-
try by the early English settlers and first
became operative in Maryland and Penn
sylvania, these states being among the
first settled by the gentry class. Grad
ually the custom found its way west and
the Englshman, with his splendid inbred
desire for sentimental life ownership and
income. has imbued with this custom
In many cities IL is common to enter
into leases for various terms varying from
twenty 10 fifty years. but the ninety-nine-
year lease is becoming most common and
gaining in popularity"

MANY Bull DINGS PL ANNED
FOR HYATTSVILL LIE SECTION
High School and Armory May Be Among Structures
to Be Erected in Maryland Town
During Coming Year.

The vestry Of ST. Matthew'S Episcopal
parish has decided to dispose of the old
Pinkney Memorial Church property on
Spencer street near the Washington Bal
timore boulevard and to erect new
ten-thousand-doilar church and parish
hall on the lot recently purchased at
the corner of Wine avenue and Spencer
street. Plans have already been APP
proved for the new edifice, and work on
the parish hall will be commenced during
the coming summer.
Former Mayor William Z. Magruder
has begun the erection of a dwelling at
the northwest corner of Wine and Owens
avenues, which probably will be ready
for occupancy in the early spring, and
building three bungalows on Franklin
street east OF Wine avenue.
E. A. Fuller soon expects to have plans
prepared for two or three houses to be
erected on Owens avenue west of Lut-
trell avenue. A large tract of land in
Northwest Hyattsville recently purchased
by. Otway B. Zantzinger Is being cleared
and IL is reported Mr.. Zantzinger will
erect a number of houses on the property
in the early spring.
The trustees of the local Presbyterian
Church are considering the advisability
of disposing of the church property on
Maryland avenue, and already have pur-
chased a building site at the southwest
corner Of Wine and Johnson avenues for
new church. a factor which is ex-
pected to make for the DEVELOPMENT
ton of the concrete road from the Dis
trict line to a point about half a mile
west Of HyattsviIe The permanent
highway was constructed in the line of
the old Queens Chapel road, and is
something more than mile in length.

Special Correspondence of The Star.

EVANSVILLE, December 20. 1918.
During the coming year 1t is expected
that three large buildings costing APP
proximately $4,000 VIII be erected in
Hyattsville. and in addition to these
plans are being prepared for number
of private residences and business houses.
The legislature, which convenes in An
napolis January 1. is expected to enact
a law directing the authorities of Prince
Georges county to issue bonds IN the
sum of $4,000 for the erection of high
school in one of the upper districts of the
county contiguous to the District of Co.
lumbia- Hyattsvilie is the only district
where modern sanitary facilities can be
obtained. and it is hoped the school will
be built here. The fact that this town
will furnish a larger number OF pu yils
for the high school than any other single
community is being advanced as another
argument for locating the school in
Hyattsville.
State Senator-elect Holmead and the
members-elect to the general assembly
are said to have pledged themselves to
secure the passage of the necessary Iegis-
lation for this school.
An effort also VII be made to secure an
appropriation from the state of $4,000
for the erection and equipment of an
pany F of the LIST Maryland Regiment,
recently organized in Hyattsville. Several
companies in western Maryland ami on
the eastern shore already have arrnories
and 1t is expected that additional build
ingS OF this character will be author. re 1
in these sections of the state by the next
legislature.
