" both the governor and the oper-
Ators to issue an immediate order
sending the men hack into the pits.
Lewis. it is known, opposes such
ss move, but, it was believed, the
governor would bring sufficient pres

An order sending the men back in
S to the mines would take from three
to six days to deliver and put into
full force. The miners have been on
strike since Sept. l.
The agreement of thes miners was
preceded by rumors, coming from
the room where Lewis conferred

Collective bargaining, replacing the
present arrangements by which the
operators often deal with individual
miners has been established.
An immediate investigation into
wage scales paid miners will be
made. Under these scales some min

Business Increasing
On Wisconsin
Avenue

Wisconsin avenue and Fessen-
den street northwest holds forth
great promise as a business and
commercial center for that Sec
tion of Washington, according to
an announcement from the of
fices Of the newly formed Dunn
bell-Smith Company, dealers in
real estate, who have opened Of
~fices at 1862 Wisconsin avenue.
Their first offering to the buy
ing public is a combined store
and apartment building on the
corner Of Fessenden and Wis
consin. According to Mr.. Dunn
bell, the property would make an
ideal delicatessen, and soda
fountain, since there are no SIM
liar places of business within
ten city blocks.
It is estimated by Mr.. Dunn
bell that over three thousand
automobiles pass along Wiscon-
sin avenue at Fessenden street
every day in the year, on the
average.

OTHER N. Y. HOLDINGS
RIVAL THOSE OF ASTOR

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-Through
q $7,30O,00 deal concluded today,
involving an entire block of land i'm
ths heart Of the Grand Central
zone, the Heckscher family became
one OF the foremost factors in the
New York real estate field and
assumed a position which makes
them rivals OF such famous owners
OF New York realty as the Astors,
the Vanderbilts and the Wendels
A newspaper man with a clever
knack Of putting things concisely
figured out that If all the combined
holdings Of the Heckschers were
placed on top of each other they
would make structure 225 stories
high.
AS the result OF today's trans.
actions, the 277 Park Avenue, Inc,
Heckscher, son of August Heck
the erection of a colossal apartment
house to occupy the block bounded
by Park and Lexington avenues
and Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth
streets. s. w. Straus & Co. ar.
ranged to underwrite a $4,000 900
first mortgage 6h per cent serial
coupon bond issue on the property,
the security having an approximate
value of $7,300,0OO, including the
building, equipment. leasehold estate
on the land and. in effect, first
lien on the property's income.
Including today's transaction, the
Heckscher family has within the
last few months acquired $4,000 900
worth of New York real estate.
In the past the holdings of Au-
gust Heckscher have consisted en-
tirely Of large office buildings in
the downtown and central Man
haitian districts, but now that his
son, G. Maurice Heckscher, has
entered upon the development of
modern apartment houses, it is not
unlikely that the Heckscher mil
lions may soon be as influential in
this class Of real estate as the
holdings Of August Heckscher have
been in the control of large office
buildings.

DO 7 7 0MLEY IS
LE.PARAD|S'
ARCHITECT
Meyer Davis Hires Architect,
Who Designed Original Re-
sort, to Plan Garden.

Sizzling summer time In Washing
ton has long proven considerable
financial annoyance to proprietors of
fashionable restaurants. Profits slide
downward to the vanishing poi',t,
while overhead expenses pile up as
though the cafe were patronized 10
capacity.
Meyer Davis, proprietor Of Cafe lie
Paradis, has demonstrated conclu.
sively this summer that the. thing to
do when receipts go down as the
mercury goes up, is not to ''hit the
ceiling" but to go straight to the
roof. BY the addition OF a compare
lively small sum to his original capi-
tai investment In LIE Paradis, Mr..
Davis provided for the construction
OF the Le- Paradis Roof Garden
which has proven a splendid attrac-
ton this summer. Thus the usual
summertime deficit has been turned
into a handsome profit in the case
of this resort.
While the lie Paradis cafe proper
cost $15O,O0O. the roof garden was
constructed. furnished throughout
for the comparatively modest sum Of
$4,000. The roof resort could, of
course, have been constructed fo. a
much lower figure, had Mr.. Davis
been willing to sacrifice certain OF its
features. But in view OF the char
acter OF LIE Paradis. 1t was deemed
advisable to make the roof garden q
fitting twin to the senior resort. To
have done otherwise would have
meant q probable falling off In rhe
type Of patronage to whom the name
Of LIE Paradis had grown to be syn
onymous with fine music and highly
artistic surroundings. Therefore,
William Lawrence Botton1ley, ar...li-
tect Of the cafe, was also employed
to design the roof garden and was
given full swing in devising the most
fetching of modern decorative ef-
fects. Bright but blending colors
were used freely to gain the proper
summertime atmosphere Of gayety.
The result has more than justified
all the effort involved and stands as
vivid example that ingenuity can
combat even Dame Nature in the
form of a soaring mercury.

WHITE HOUSE IS
AWAITING
TENANT
Mrs. Harding Leaves for Stay
In country-cooIidges to
Move in Next Week.

Warren G. Harding last night
became definitely a figure of history
with the departure from the White
House OF his widow, last humaniz
ing link between the dead Pres
ident and the Capital.
Amid dusk as rainy and chill
as though early November were
brooding over the city instead OF
mid-August, Florence King Hard'
ing made her exit from the Execu-
tive Mansion. Nature itself furll-
ished the settings as sombre as the
eplogue of q Greek tragedy. The
effect was painfully apparent to the
little coterie gathered to bid her Cod
speed.
Few Are Present.
White House correspondents had
laid plans to be present enn masse
for a respectful farewell to a kindly
friend. Cameramen had been hope
full of obtaining pictures. But the
actualfty Of it was that only three
journalists saw her drive off.
Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the new
President. drove up to the White
House portico at o'clock. Half an
hour later she accompanied the
blackgowned Mrs. Harding to the
doorway. Three Secret Service mel,
accompanied her, and she was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Coolidge, George B.
Christian, jr., and Major Ora p.
Baldinger She walked slowly bNt
firmly to the waiting automobile and
was whisked off through the wet
evening to the suburban home of
Mr. and Mrs. e. B. Mclean, where
she will spend at least a week.
Nurse Goes With Her.
Two faithful attendants trailed
Mrs. Harding in a second automo-
bile. They were Miss Ruth Pow
derly, nurse attached to President
Harding's party and present when
the sudden end occurred in the Pal
ace Hotel, San Francisco, and Miss
Laura Harlan, the widows secre-
tary.
The effects Of Mrs. Harding and
the late President, described by
White House attaches as more
voluminous than those Of any other
Presidential pair in history, have
all been boxed, and many have been
shipped to Marion. Ohio What Mrs.
Harding's plans are for the immedi-
ate future remain undisclosed.
The White House proper is left in
an. anomalous position. While all
the apartments are said to be ready
for occupancy by the CooIidges, 1t is
thought certain they will not move
into the mansion until about next
Wednesday They will continue 20
dine and occupy living quarters in
the Willard until that tirne.

ingly the difference between q
home and a stopping place, the
difference between living and
existing.
Nor are the plans of this house
disappointing, they give all the
exterior promises, they are con-
yenient, compact and, above all,
livable and honey.
The ceilings are low after the
manner of the old Colonial houses,
there is plenty of wall space for
furniture, and windows to let in
the sunshine are not lacking. The
interiors furnish and decorate in
a charming manner and COM
plete an ideal little home.

The Washington times., 1923-08-18

For those who like the Dutch
Colonial STYLE. here is a house
that will offer a strong appeal.
The Dutch style is enjoying a
much deserved popularity. The
pleasing graceful lines Of the
Dutch roof, the delicate detail
and the appearance of real
home, these are the qualities that
are so much admired.
The architects have designed
this little house with thought to
every detail, however small and
seemingly unimportant. The re-
su1t-the pictures speak for them
selves. The house has been called
"a Little GEN.
What could be more pleasing
than the refreshing contrast OF
this little white house setting
snugly amid bower of trees
and shrubbery with q foreground
of neat green lawn?

This is the kind Of a place
that comes to mind when we
think of a home in the suburbs
a neat white cottage with green
roof; a tree or two to shade the
entrance porch and the living
porch as well: a stretch Of green
lawn; shrubbery banked on one
side for fragrance and for color:
an entrance porch with benches
and vine covered trellis to bid one
welcome and offer a suggestion
of old-time hospitality within.
Here it is, down to the last
detail.
What a contrast does this pic
ture make with a stuffy city
apartment with it's outlook on red
brick court walls or dirty back
yards. or at least, noisy, hot and
dusty streets.

H. Hardey Cissel Sool
To Complete Sixth
Bungalow

Another bungalow is nearing
completion ON H. Hardey Cis-
sells tract, in the ]. HI. Cissel
subdivision, just outside of Sill
yer Spring, Md, on the Rock
vile pike. This makes the sixth
in the row. Each is located on a
lot 65x250 feet, with a most ad-
mirable outlook front and rear,
yet comparatively close to the
center Of trade at Silver Spring
and only a short drive from the
center of Washington.
Each house is bungalow type,
rigid in construction, with five
rooms and bath on the first floor
and semicompleted second
floor with built-in stairway.
This second floor, with a small
added expenditure, would make
two fine sleeping rooms. The
Easements are all dry and con-
tain room for one-car garages,
the driveways already having
been cut.
Heat for each house is sup
piled by pipeless furnaces, to
which hot-water attachments
are installed. Hardwood floors
make all rooms unusually snug
and attractive, while paved
streets and graded sidewalks add
TO the many other advantages.
The houses are open for in
spection daily except Sunday.
