Herald Harbor, on-the.Severn, for
holding their annual outings and

PAINTING
At CHATEAU
ATTRACTS
Illuminated Picture Forms
Ceiling at Meyer Davis
Dansant

One of the most striking features
of the Chateau LIE Paradis. at Am
mendale. Nd. is the large mod
ernistic Illuminated painting which
forms the ceiling. Brilliantly color
full and frivolous in conception as
a bit Of the "Chauve Souris," this
extraordinary picture sets the key
for the decorative ensemble of
fantastic gayety which is such an
integral part of the charm of the
Chateau, which is recognized as the
summer society rendezvous of, both
Washington and Baltimore.
A typicaHy modern method of
bringing out the beauties of the
painting is its illumination from the
back of the canvas. The light bril-.
lance OF the colors of the circus
procession which is the subject of
the painting are thus, emphasized
against the black background.
This striking picture was exc
.cuted by Duncan Smith, one Of the
most notable OF the new school Of
artists, who is known especially for
his mural decorations in the Hotel
Dupont and the ball room of the
Chalif School of Dancing in New
York. Mr.. Smith is an alumnus of
the American Academy in Rome
and is now an instructor sin the
Art Students League of New York.
Paints are not the only medium i'm
which he is accomplished. He is
also known for a number of ex
quisite examples Of work IN bronze
relief. terra Gotta, and stained
glass.

EEW people know that the foun-
IL ders of this city planned that
it should grow eastward in the pre-
else direction of this new home de-
ve1opment as witnessed by the fact
that the Capitol faces eastward. But
through a trick of fate (some say
land speculation) the development
switched northwesterly. Yet the vast
stretches of territory lying east of
the Capitol are the most enchant-
ing, the most beautiful and the
most picturesque and better adapted
for home settlement than any to
be found within any ten-mile zone.

~ HE rent problem in the District has
been a perturbing and battling
puzzle for Congress and the people
for a number of years-at least
since the end of the world war. Rent
charges were growing much faster than
incomes until living and paying rent be-
came incompatible. Legislative devices
were resorted to but proved futile and un-
satisfactory and now the head Of a family
with an average moderate income faces a
grave dilemma.
No one cause in particular can be blamed
for this distressing situation. 1t is inner
ent in and part of our economic order.
The almost total suspension of home build
ing operations during the war and the
swarming of large numbers from the rural
centers to the large cities during and since
the war, created tremendous shortage in
living accommodations in the big cities. An
unprecedented building boom was inevi-
table and so was big jump in the demand
for labor and material, the two chief ele-
ments in construction. Land values re-
acted and also jumped by leaps and bounds,
and while the jumping was good, the owner
of the old home and the SPECTATOR thought
that this was as good time as any to
have their merry little jump too, and, as
Roxy would say, there You are!

Thirst of Russians

Moscow, Oct. 8-(AP)-Publ1c de-
mand for alcoholic stimulant after IL
years of partial prohibition, is still
so great that each dawn finds long
lines of people in front of the wine

legalized 40 percent vodka.
These lines are in some cases
greater even than the old time bread
lines, according to American relief
workers who served in Russia dur
ing the famine period Of 1920-21.
Moscow's legions of vodka drinkers
who for long have had to be satisfied
with crude home-distilled spirit.

thus far, this week, more than 5000.
600 quarts of vodka have been con-

to cope with such a prodigious de-
mand.
