IT'S ALL GREEK TO rs.

our old friend Winifred Black,
writing in The News-Times sez:
The ancient Greeks were not
born naturally more beautiful than
any other race. they just developed
themselves, that's all. and TO this
day the Greeks are a proverb for
health and beauty"
Every once in awhile we read the

sirable from the standpoint of health,
safety and moral protection.
Officials Of the service claim that
the situation will presently become
even more serious when dwellers In
the alleys of the city are forced to
move out. The Sixty-third Congress
enacted a measure to discontinue the
use Of dwellings and buildings situat-
ed in alleys. With the outbreak of
the war. however, a subsequent meas

the matter was postponed for two
years.
The alley houses which must short
ly be vacated number at least 494,
and officials claim that II their pres

construction to provide for them.
AS a result of these conditions, those
who have studied the situation have

WALLS ARE CALLED
CLOTHING OF HOMES

How many persons stop to think
that the outer walls of a house are
no more the house itself than clothes
are the man. Still that is from what
we get our idea of most homes.
What lovely bungalow or what
a magnificent mansion" we say when.
as a matter Of fact, all that we have
seen Of these homes is their clothing.
Only when one passes within the door
and examines the interior is one able
to judge of the qualities of building
Even the elaborate exterior, which at
first appeared so striking, may prove
i'll suited to the simple interior; or 1t
may be that severely plain exterior
Is the clothing Of a home planned on
the grand style.
The true character Of a home is
shown in the rooms themselves: and
one may fairly judge of their inhabi-
tants as one judges from a nest the
species of bird which lives in it.
Buildings have developed with the
development of mankind. so that an
architect by merely looking at the
plan OF a building can tell when and
where 1t was built. This is true with
the exception OF cotemporary archi-
lecture, which, except in the matter
skyscrapers or buildings constructed
Of concrete or steel. exhibits no char
acteristics Of its own but is borrow
ing and adaptation of the types that
have gone before.

MERCHANTS BANK NEW
HOME PLANS READY
Structure of Modern Construction
to Be Ready in G Street
in Five Months.

The new home of the Merchants
Bank is soon to be erected at 1413 G
street. The bank, Of which p. A.
Drury is president, purchased last
summer the two buildings at 1913 and
1415 G street. The building on the
west, formerly known as the Evans
Arcade, has been extensively remod-
eled as an Office building and store,
retaining the arcade from G street to
New York avenue.
The Davidson building, 14l3 G
street, Is the site of the new bank
building. Plans, as prepared by b
Stanley Simmons, architect, call for a
modern building with front of dressed
limestone and bronze. while the inte-
have a ceiling height Of twenty-five
feet, will be treated In the italian
renaissance style with Pavinaza
banking screen. On the main floor
marble Enclosures are provided for the
officers Of the bank and ladies. while
across the rear q mezzanine floor is
provided. overlooking the banking
room. In which is to DO located the
directors room, pookkeeperS Depart
ment and clerks locker and lunch
room.
In the basement. entered from the
main lobby by broad marble stair
way and lift. large and commodious
safe deposit department has been pro-
yided, lighted from the rear and f1n-
ished in marble and caen stone. The
bank now occupies quarters on F
street. adjoining the Willard Hotel,
and expects to occupy its beautiful
and modern banking room in about
five months.

RENTAL VALUES TOPIC
B. Stanley Simmons Says There Is
Need Of Immediate Re
adjustment.

"Now that the seasons building has
gained a slight momentum, the In
centive to further activities should
not be lacking," said B. Stanley Sim
mons, q local architect. I'm a word,
the urgent and Immediate necessity
for a readjustment Of rental values
commemorate with present day con-
struction values.
Property owners as q whole should
concentrate their efforts upon an
equitable revenue producing value Of
building. both business and residen-
tial. having in mind the inevitable
akin to such investments-namely re-
pairs, service. taxes. insurance. de-
probation and vacancies.
LAS 1 view the situation, 1t would
seem that both a factor and force
are necessary to stabilize values. Let
US look. then, upon the adjustment of
rental values as prime factor. Once
this IL accomplished it Is obvious that
the twin forces. namely. loan values
and construction, Will follow.
Let me add that the salisbury rule,
whether constitutional or unconstftu-
tionaI, is having q disastrous effect
upon real estate fnvestm enfs, and that
a homogeneous forward movement
rest entirely with a prompt readjust-
ment Of rentals"
