WSOuluSIOus AV8. SS.-(Oy TIC SAo-
sociated Press)-Members of the fed
eral coal commission were engaged
today in framing q report to Presi-
dent Coolidge fixing the respons.-
bility between the anthracite miners
and operators and outlining the steps
the government should take in re-
gard to the prospective strike August
u.
Chairman Hammond Of the COM
mission announced this would be the
next step by the commission after
he, with Commissioner Neill had
conferred last evening with Presi-
dent Coolidge. He did not indicate
definitely how long the. drafting Of
the report would require, but there
appeared q possibility today that i.
would be in the hands Of the Presi-
dent before night.
A statement AZ to the responsibility
for the rupture, it. is generally con
sidered, will not produce . ton OF
coal and thus the. greatest interest
10 attached to what steps the new ad-
minfstratibn propos\s to take should
the miners and operators continue
In their failure to reach . common
ground.
Coolidge's Ideas
Two statements only have como
from the White House which are re-
garded as throwing light on tie
mind Of Mr.. Coolidge. The firs,
made several days ago said . plan
had been prepared which would re
lieve the situation through use of
substitutes for anthracite. The sec.
ond. authorized last evening after
the President had talked to kr.
Hammond twice in three hc1S5, va,
that the public should rest assured
there would be plenty Of fuel.
At one stage Of the hurried con-
ferences here yesterday following
the breakdown of negotiations in
Atlantic City there appeared an indi-
cation that President Coolidge nigh.
summon the operators and miners
representatives TO Washington for a
conference. Later it was indicated
that the President had no such thing
in mind and those who know the
mind Of the new President say that
he feels he should not be placed in
the role of arbiter, feeling that that
task should be that of the coal COM
mission, which already had undertak-
en- it.
Suggestions that the government.
again utilize the injunction ~ it did
in the rail strike also have found
scant favor among the Presidents
friends. He, is understood to be op-
posed generally to the use, Of the in
junction in labor disturbances and it
IS to be noted that both. Attorney
General Daugherty and Assistant. At
torney General Seymour are alb
sent from Washington and that no
department Of Justice officials have

SUMMARY OF NOTE

Paris, Aug. 22-Official opinion of
the Allies reply set forth in the
summary in England given out to-
day in the foreign office is that
the note contains elements Of a prac-
tical solution Of the reparations
problem but careful reading of the
communication shows that in the
opinion of Monsieur Poincare the
only practical solution if for Great
Britain is to accept the French
thesis in every detail.
The premier's reply pointed to
Curzon's intimation that Great BrI-
tain assume the obligation to ask
France to pay her war debts.
France has. never repudiated her
debts, and never will but she is con-
vinced that NO British government
will ever apply to an Ally the press
ure that the London cabinet applies
today to the former enemies of
France"
Waits For Payment
He repeated the assurance that
France will attentuate the occupa-
tion of the Ruhr and that France
will evscuate the Ruhr when pay
ment is actually made. To ask her
to do otherwise would be to ask her
to justify the attitude of Germany
and it would be the victors WIN
would pay instead Of the, vanquish-
ed, the note stated.
The French position according to
the note remains unchanged.
Premier Poincare said that the pri-
ority Of .reparations over. other war
costs by the Inter allied debts would
be recognized.
"That France> never repudiated the
debts that she contracted during
the, war either to England or to AM
erica" the note said.
France also il the creditor of the
other allies for 100000 or 5000, 900
gold marks, the summary quotes, but
there is no doubt in the minds
of those who drafted the treaty
that there should be priority for
damages Of the war.

MOUNT VERNON AVENUE
SUBDIVISION OPENED

Opening of new subdivision.
Oakcrest, on a ninety-acre tract.
known as the Garfield property. 'front.'
ing on Mount Vernon avenue just be-
low the Hume School, Arlington
county, Va. was announced today by
the Garfield Manor Corporation.
The property formerly belonged to
the late President James r. Garfield.
and was this week conveyed by his
heirs to the corporation. consisting
of Frank G. Campbell. Clarence r.
AhaIt and John G. Graham. The tract
extends from Mount Vernon avenue
toward the Potomac river, and oc-
cupies one of the highest points of
elevation in that section: 1t Is rolling
in character and will be developed
into home sites. The tract overlooks
a valley dotted with dwellings and in
the background of which lies the
Potomac.
The subdivision as planned will be
a departure from the ordinary SUBJ
division property, in that the sites
will be from one-half to two acres in
size. This feature is brought about
by the contour of the land which
divides the tract into a series of
knolls.
Extensive development is planned
by the owners. The natural rustic
features will be preserved in keeping
with the general plan. The road

Of ideals with the thought of ancient
times, he said.
Speaking OF the modern methods Of
construction, Mr.. Beresford declared
fhat there is a new tendency in mod
ern building toward consideration,
not only of any particular building,
but of the effect of the buildings in
relation to each other. This has come
about, he said, through the realiza-
ton that in the past our cities and
suburbs have presented a conglomer-
ate mixed-up appearance, which not
only detracts from the beauty of the
whole, but also from the effectiveness
Of each individual unit. 1t was point
ed out that this tendency is taking
effect in the cities in the form of
coming regulations.
Many cities have adopted coming
regulations and others are falling in
line" Mr. Beresford said. In the
suburbs the main object is being ac-
complished by voluntary cooperation
Of the individual owners to produce a
unified effect, to make the expression
Of each Individual unit contribute to
the effectiveness OF the whole. This
is done not only for the esthetic
benefit derived, but for the noticeable
effect upon the real estate value of
each individual holding" he con-
cluded
lectures being held at Woodside Park
under the auspices Of the Hopkins
Armstrong Company, Inc, developer
of the subdivision. Stephen Child,
city planner. will lecture on planting
and garden design for the suburban
home tomorrow at 8 o'clock, in the

BY ROGER w. BABsON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, March 17.-Roger w.
Babson today released the third in
stallment of his annual survey of
business conditions in the United
StateS and Canada. He herein treats
Of what he calls the industrial west"
that great section Immediately tribu-
tary to Chicago, including Indiana.
Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Michigan and
Wisconsin.
These states were once wholly agri-
cultural, but are rapidly changing
into an Industrial section. New fac
tories are springing up every day.
The younger generation are leaving
farming for building. manufacturing
and trade. Yet the total area under
cultivation continues to hold its own.
Carloadings Gain.
Every section of America" says
Mr.. Babson, has it's best barometer
of business. For New England it is
the number of spindles in operation;
for Pennsylvania the number of blast
furnaces; for New York the total
foreign trade, etc. The best ba-
rometer of the industrial west is the
total carloadings at Chicago. These
since January 1, 1928, are running
we'll ahead of the corresponding
weeks Of 1922 and compare well with

VARIOUS BUILDING
STYLES EXPLAINED

Features and advantages Of colo
nial architecture were explained by
Robert f. Beresford, local architect,
to several hundred prospective home
builders gathered last week at the
former Noyes mansion, Woodside
Park, Md.
Mr.. Beresford stated that colonial
architecture was developed by the
ancestors Of many Of US and, there
fore, expresses our own state of cul-
ture through it's unusual dignity,
charm and simplicity. For that rea-
son it will have a lasting satisfaction,
he declared.
An Economical Style.
Tracing the origin Of colonial archi-
lecture to the modern style, Mr..
Beresford said that this type OF home
planning reflects much variety and
Individuality without losing the unity
of the whole. 1t is the opinion Of
experts he said, that there is no
style in which good effects can be
obtained so economically as the CO.
lonial.
There is vigor in colonial archi-
lecture that seems to represent a
certain strength of character in those
who live in these style homes" he
said. I'VE can do nothing better than
cultivate this substantial, reliable
quality that we have inherited In
ourselves"
He pointed out the fact that the
American revolution marked a turn
ing point in architectural style in
this country In political and social
life the newborn spirit of freedom
and the ideals of democracy caused
many leaders of thought to study
the institutions Of the ancient Roman
republic and to feel a certain kinship

Washington's Growth Reflected in Real Estate and
Movies Promote
Home Building in
Showing' Models

Motion pictures are being made
use Of in the promotion Of prac-
tically every form Of activity.
Therefore, their use in promoting
home building is no more than
logical. Much interest has been
aroused in various parts of the
country by the erection of "model
houses" suitably furnished, the
theory being that any one seeing
such a model would be very apt
to become a home-owner Just how
successful this method has been Is
very doubtful. 1t is certain, how
ever, that whatever has been &C
complished has been quite limited
the expense involved for erecting
model houses" is quite prohibi-
tive, If undertaken as a national
movement, since the appeal at best
has been purely local. Some more
universal means OF appeal would
seem to be necessary-what more
logical method than the motion
picture?
The demand which has been
found to exist for a national
means Of encouraging home build
ing has resulted in the creation of
a five-reel film which will show
the actual erection of a modern
six-room brick colonial house, to-
gether with Its equipping and fur
nishing, the final scenes showing
the happy and contented family.
To make the presentation as inter-
esting as possible an unusually at
tractive suburban plot has been
selected. It may be safely assumed
that the production will do ample
justice to the subject matter. mas
much as 1t Is being done with the
full cooperation Of many organi-
cations associated with the prog
.ress Of building. The counsel of
experts has been sought and their
suggestions followed as far as
practicable.

Declares.
STRUCTURAL STEEL UP

But Is Acute in Some
Localities.
STRUCTURAL STEEL UP

Indications of rapidly approaching
advances in prices Of building ma
terials have been noted by stats.
ticians of the S. w. Straus Com.
pany. of New York, it was learned
today.
During February structural steel
showed a marked advance and there
was a tendency among other impor-
tant materials toward increased cost
Lumber Demand Strong.
The demand for lumber as well as
for many other basic building ma
terfals now exceeds production. This
schedules of production over 1922.
II building operations continue at
the present >rate and the demand
for material increases proportionate-
ly an inevitable increase of prices
generally Is looked for, 1t was stated
The advancing tendency of prices
on basic materials in various sections
of the country began to develop to-
ward the close of 1922 at rate
which has been practically maintain
ed ever since. A survey made several
weeks ago in twelve important cities
well distributed over the whole coun-
try, showed that within a period OF
thirty days wholesale prices in these
cities were stable in ninety-one
cases: advanced in sixty-five and de-
clined In thirty-nine.
Indicate Stable Prices.
These quotations indicate that in
the cities covered. by the investiga-
tion material prices on the whole re-
mained stable at about Al per cent
showed advances at the rate of 33
per cent and reductions at the rate
of 20 per cent during the period OF
thirty days. Since that time whole
sale prices have generally remained
fairly stable, but where changes have
been recorded in the majority OF
items there has been an increase in
stead of a reduction.
The labor situation is not alarm
ing in any particular. but in certain
localities it Is growing more and
more acute as the demand for work
men holds strong or increases. The
tendency of wages for the country
at large is upward. Builders in nu-
merous cities are figuring on a prob
able increase of wages in nearly all
trades. From no quarter is an
abundance of either skilled or COM
mon labor reported. Wage agree
ments are pretty well signed up in
the important centers.

the local Red Cross is in readiness to
start their annual roll call drive in
this city ON Sunday In connection
with the worldwide drive of the
American Red Cross for the renewal
of membership.
Beginning next week a house to

readiness to answer the call for help
in any emergency, and to meet every
demand for funds and for capable
and effective administration or relief
