paredness-that is, the equipment Of spirit

last night Of the Mems Society Of the
Church Of the Covenant, 18th and N
streets. Robert Lansing. Secretary Of
State, and Col. Graves were guests Of the
evening.
Col. Graves took for his subject "a His
tory of the South" He told Of the early
trials of that part of the Union in which
he was born, and how it had risen to the
position it occupies today as a com
mercial center. 'The south did not want
to leave the Union through war or blood
she'd he said. 'It wanted withdrawal
along peaceful lines. Slavery was not
the cause of the war-they were fighting
for the independence Of states"

This is picture of two of the beautiful new
groups of houses just completed by the A. C. Moses
Company on the west side of 18th street northwest
few doors south of Cathedral avenue. The loca-
ton is just beyond the Connecticut Avenue bridge,
in one of the most fashionable and desirable resi-
dental sections of the city.
One of the first features to be noticed in these
houses is the imposing approach, the cement walks
and steps. The proportions of these approaches
and the quality of work put into them compare
with what you would find in $4,000 house.
The front lawns are exceptionally deep, and you
will be Immediately impressed with the width OF
the house, which is feet wider than the average
From the front porches you can the Po-
tomac river.
Entering you will find the rooms large and un-

The double oak floors smooth as fine
table top, because they sanded with new
electric device never used in speculative building
before. We adopted this device because the ord-
nary hand-scraping processes leave depress1ons or
bumps This is just indication of our thorough
of methods in construction.
Another attractive feature quickly noticeable is
the inclosed porch with cement floor, back OF the
dining room It makes nice conservatory or
breakfast in the warm season. The second
floor has practically five sleeping rooms, as the in
closed porch this floor is large enough for two

Note the quality of the woodwork. There is
some design about it. 1t is perfectly smoothed, and
finished with four coats instead of three. We
not understand why people buy houses with wood
work showing great gouges and even spllnters.
Then examine carefully stairs and see how they
put up. We have who has been doing
nothing for thirty years except stair-buildng, who
puts ours up and he works for US by the year. 1t
is not question of speed but of how well our
stairs be built. Do you live in house where
the stairs slant, and you not of get
ting to the top? Walk up flight of our stairs and
you will be impressed with the lack of effort re-
quired. 1t is not every architect who can draw the
plan for flight of stairs and make them comfort
able to you.
who bought of these houses said:
II decided would never live in row again, but
the spaciousness and the setting of these houses
made me forget my resolution entirely" Another
house in this group was bought by man whose
business career has brought him closely into touch
with good woodwork and fine painting. He had
been searching long time for house to suit him
in this respect Ours came up to his standard.

Mind an 1llumined One.

The marvellous accomplishments of
Booker T. Washington We're but the
outgrowth of his character" Prof. Mil
Ter continued. He had an illumined
mind and an enlightened understand
ing, like Abraham Lincoln; he always
followed the leading of that inner light,
which served as a lamp unto his feet
and guide unto his pathway. He was
always calm and composed while all
around was excitement and confusion.
for he relied with fullest confidence
upon the assurance of intuition and a
cerutude of instinct. He knew the race
problem in all of it's ramifications per-
maps better than any man who has ever
lived: This knowledge was gained not
merely as result of wide informa-
ton and experience, but through in
nate understanding of complex human
relationship.
Mr.. Washington was endowed with
an unusual element of commen sense.
His was the philosophy of the COM
monplace; the explIcation of simple
things. Like Aesop, Epectetus and
BENJAMIN Franklin, he seized upon the
foik-thought and folk-sense of the
common people and set them forth in
pointed phrases.
Evening star., 1915-12-11
For Elevation of Race.

Mr.. Washington never, in avowed
terms. denied the Importance of politi-
cal rights upon the welfare of the race,
but, feeling assured that there was
little hope of immediate restoration of
such rights, he placed the stress of
emphasis upon the sobriety, industry
and thrift as the means by which the
negro might elevate himself into. the
full stature of an American citizen. He
emphasized duties rather than rights,
and urged the race to take advantage
of its opportunities rather than to
waste it's energies by impotent griev-
ing over the disadvantages of it's
wrongs.
"A violent contest arose within the
race as to the wisdom of his general
policy. This controversy was in
evitable; the offense must needs come.
If the white people of America are to
be considered the jury. the verdict was
all but unanimous in Mr.. Washingtons $
favor"
Grant Lucas, president of the club,
presided. Roscoe c. Bruce, assistant
superintendent of schools Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, was chairman of the
committee on memorial resolutions, on
which committee were DR.. A. S. Gray.
