Beautiful Community Group Shown
By Models at New National Museum

IF an architect suggested to a client
that the kitchen Of the beautiful
house he was proposing to build
i should be in the front and that
the garage entrance should over
shadow the main entrance, in nine
cases out of ten he would lose his
client.
If he suggested that a community
could be planned better if the back
of the house were in the front, he
would be classed as q cubist. futurist,
or some sort of eccentric who desired
to become notorious through his idio-
syncrasieS.
Yet, if the people of Washington
who are interested in beautiful COM
munities and charming houses will
visit the New National Museum at
Tenth and B streets northwest, today,
and see there the model village assem-
bled through the efforts of the Gar
den Club of America and brought here
by the Garden Club Of Washington,
they will view community made
beautiful and symmetrical through
the disregard of the iron-bound Gus
tom that certain parts of a home must
be in the rear or in the front or at the
side of the house.
What the Garden Club Of America
and the Better Homes in America Or
ganization are trying to show the pub
lie and builders through the medium
of this model village is that beauty,
convenience and desirability in respect
to each home as well as an entire
community, are not necessarily accom-
plished by the following Of the iron
bound customs that have grown up,
but rather are attained through neigh
! borly cooperation and the adaptation
of the house and the grounds in such
a manner as best to suit the conven-
ience of the individual. and at the
same time to blend with the beautifi-
cation of the community as a whole.
In order to demonstrate what really
can be done, the Garden Club OF Amer
lea asked a jury Of architects and
landscape architects to select the best
models in the 1925 competition among
the members of the club. These mod
els were selected, and it is the win
ming houses that are assembled In
the model village group at the Ma
! tional Museum. Single houses also are
on display at 1107 Connecticut ave-
nue. and in an + street window OF
Woodward & Lothrop.
The competing members of the Gar
den Club of America were given a
model lot of standard size, with small
models of all the elements entering
into the construction of a house. They
had deta achable chimneys, doors, roofs
and garages that could be shifted and
moved, so as to fit in any section or
part Of the house. They were offered
the choice Of two styles Of architec.
ture-English and colonial.

IN order to demonstrate the vital ne
cessity of neighborly cooperation
in the development of a beautiful
community, as we'll as a frank and in.

group has been designed to eliminate,
as one prominent architect describes
it, the ancient and dishonorable back
yard"
In place of the garage. which is set
in front of the house or toward the
side of the porch and the clothesline
in the back yard, there Is a series of
beautiful back gardens. designed SO
that in the rear of the houses the
combination cf the individual gardens
looks like a private parkway, with
shade trees and flowers, with winding
pathways, stone seats and benches.
Here is the effect of beautiful estate
in the rear of moderate-priced houses;
no laundry lines. as hidden spaces are
provided for these; no ugly porches.
but a beautiful private park.
The garages are designed in the
front or at the side, so that they really
become an addition to the attractive
ness of the street view. To look at
the models one would never suspect
that the kitchen is in front of some of
the houses. The church with its spire
is. in the middle of the block, and the
library with it's garden toward one
end
The whole treatment of the block
was not based on theory, but designed
by woman members of the Garden
Club pf America who actually own
houses and who use gardens of the
type demonstrated in the model. The
model clearly demonstrates that not
one of the contestants insisted on
fences. alleys or screened porches.
There is nothing fantastic about the
individual house or the entire block;
the houses are not mansions, but
homes. and the treatment required
very little more energy and much
less construction than the typical
back yard" Each house retains its
individuality and blends into the COM
bined group.
The architects who made the Sc
Evening star., 1925-11-08

Garden Club hopes by it's illustrative
model of what actually can be done
to encourage this movement and to
foster the growing spirit among the
home-owners and home-seekers in
America for beauty and individuality
in houses that will together form at
tractive communities. The old square
front and back porches, the old-style
house varied with an ornament hung
or glued to the outside are being de
manded less and less, and in their
place has come a demand for beauty
of line, pretty gardens with trees and
shady hooks. fireplaceS, stone walks.
fancy bricks and artistic and attraC-
tive features.
j. Monroe Hewlett, New York ar
chitect and one of the judges, states
In discussing the models:
In the development of a better
sense as to what constitutes beauty
and appropriateness in planning and
furnishing homes we seem to have
passed through a period of individ-
ualism and to have arrived al the
beginnings of a general appreciation
that harmony with surrounding OBJ
1ectS is one of the essentials of beau
ty; that harmony does not necessarily
mean similarity. and that in the case

These beautifully studied little
models should prove an inspiration TO
thousands of people and help substan-
TALLY in the spread of an appreciation
of this quality"
Loutrel w. Briggs, New York land
scape architect, says: This group
gives very graphically the charm re-
sulting from intelligent individual eff
fort under sensible restrictions, with
thought for ones neighbor.''
Horace w. Peaselee, local architect
and a member of the judges commit
tee, says: The main object lesson of
these delightful models is that theirs
need be no such thing as back yard.

fronts. The old front porch had its
justification in providing contact with
the life of the village street. In this
age, teeming with life at every turn.
the inner garden offers retreat, Sc

butterflies. flowers and weeds"
The model will be on exhibition al
the New National Museum and open
to the public today from 1:30 to 4:30
pm. and during regular hours on

VITALITY OF SEEDS DETERMINED

into water and oxygen with the foam
ing noticed when peroxide is poured
on cut or wound. In dead seeds,
however, the catalase may still be
active. but is more easily disorgan-
lied. Herein lies the distinctive fac
tor. Live seeds soaked in water at
1875 degrees F. for 2 hours Cor for
IL hours at 90 degrees F.) will still
be active under the catalese test; but
seeds that have been injured by frost,
heat or age will show greatly de-
creased activity, If any. Thus
measure Of the vitality Of the seed is
accurately and quickly established.
BY another discovery 1t is now pos
sible to curtail the period of dormancy
in live seeds and force them into
growth much more promptly. Seeds
that normally require several years
to germinate (for example, the rose
family. including the peach and apple)
will do so in four or five months II
kept at a constant, low temperature
(about Al degrees F.). This is of
special importance to rose growers
who might otherwise wait and work
for five or six years before finding
out the results of experimental hy-
bridizing. Such seeds formerly sown
in beds and subjected to the seasonal
variations in temperature were alter
nately awakened and put to sleep, to
the nurseryman's loss
Evening star., 1925-11-08

THE vitality of seeds can now be de-
L termined within IL hours or
less, according to the Boyce Thomp-
son Institute for Plant Research, at
Yonkers, n. Y. The prolonged and
costly method of determining by ger
mination whethep seeds are dead or
alive may be supplemented or dis
placed. as circumstances indicate. by
a quick test, resulting in safe seed
buying and more certain results In
planting.
The uncertainty of good purchases
in the past has been sore point with
the planter. With no way Of detect
ing good seed from bad, to say moth
ing of intermediate quality, ex-
cept by the slow termination test,
the farmers or nurseryman's invest
ment in time and labor, as we'll as the
initial purchase, has often been a
sort of lottery.
At the laboratories of the Boyce
Thompson Institute, under the super
vision of the director, DR.. William
Crocker, Prof. Wilmer E. Davis of the
Kansas Agricultural College. a visit
ing investigator, has developed such
a method, based on the catalase ac-
tivity of seeds. This being inter
preted means that living, vital
seed produces substance known as
catalase, which has the property Of
breaking up peroxide Of hydrogen

gan and gave the address. The doc
tor put that down and waited. Elsie
looked over at the whitewashed wall
and dictated:

Figuratively, she clung to Mrs, MeggS
as 10 the one plank in a boundfess sea
of lonesomeness.
And Mrs. Meggs would have had to
turn far back in her memory for a
time when she d had such a good visit.
The girl talked and talked. First she
talked about Prof. Albert Seymour
how she had known him when he was
boy and she a child in her home
town in Michigan: then he had gone
away and she hadn't seen him again
until she ran upon him here in St.
Petersburg. He told her that. he had
become a spiritualistic medium and
was very successful at It. Maybe he
had done some strange things. but
she was satisfied. now. II was only a
lot of clever tricks that he had learned
At any rate, she was sure that he
was an awful liar and that he had
swindled people. She intended to
warn Mrs Meggs. but met with the

1t was not strictly true.
But Mrs. Meggs showed not the
least inclination to raise questions
about the st. Petersburg part of the
story. On the contrary, Prof. Albert
Seymour seemed to have only tie
slightest interest for her.
Il wasn't goin' to see him, anyhow,
she said. Il got TO thinkin' it over
