CONN. AVE. SAFETY
HALT IS ORDERED
Removal of Center Poles
From Street Also Consider
ed as Traffic Aid.

Two definite steps toward making
traffic -congested Connecticut avenue a
safe thoroughfare for motorists and
pedestrians were taken today by off,
ciais of the District government.
Rules were drafted to require all
traffic to come to a full stop before
entering or crossing the avenue from
S street north to Chevy Chase Circle,
while, in the meantime. the Public
Utilities Commission considered the
advisability of removing the center
poles between the Calvert street and
Klingle bridges and reduce the num-
Der OF side poles to a minimum by
requiring that electric transmission
wires be put underground.
The order requiring vehicles to come
to complete halt before entering or
crossing the avenue will become ef-
fective as soon as painters emblazon
the word Stop" in bold white letters
on the pavement at all intersections
north of S street. The work was
started today.
Moller Explains.
Col I. c. Moller, engineer in charge
of traffic, explained that the new rule,
which is the first move toward the es-
tablishment of the boulevard stop sys-
tenn in the District. does not give mo-
torists moving north and south on the
avenue any special speed privilege
but was promulgated merely in the in
terest of safety. The existing speed
regulation will remain.
The stop system has been in ef-
feet for some time at Thirteenth street
and Florida avenue. the foot of a dan
gerous hill. but this is the first time
the rule has been applied to a long
stretch of thoroughfare.
Col. Moller indicated the stop rule
would be applied to certain other
streets in the near future Two other
places under consideration am:
Eighteenth street, from Pennsyl-
vania avenue to Columbia road and
Sixteenth street, from Newton street
north. The stop signs will not be
used at intersections on Sixteenth
street south of Newton because the
new traffic signal lights will be in
stalled on that part of Sixteenth
street.
Road Hogs" Blamed.
In statement yesterday afternoon
Traffic Director Eldridge characterized
the road hog" as a menace to safe
driving. Mr.. Eldridge believes many
accidents are caused by drivers who
take up more than their share of the
road and refuse to move in when an
other car indicates an intention of
passing. Vehicles moving slowly
should keep near the curb, Mr.. Ed
ridge said.
Although the Public Utilities Com
mission has taken no definite action
on the proposal to rid Connecticut
avenue of the dangerous center poles
between the Calvert and Klingle
bridges, 1t is understood that 1t looks

was the subject of a lecture by c.

tional building and loan orga MIA lions
official. before the realtors forum at
Wardman Park Hotel on Friday.
Mr.. James pointed out that prior to
the act of March 3. 1899. which was
reincorporated as section Ill of the
Code of Law of the District of Column
hia, there was no statute law In the
District of Columbia authorizing the
filing Of suits to quiet titles to real
estate where the heirs of the party in
whom the record title was outstanding
were unknown.
The speaker cited number of in
tereSting cases illustrating how titlc
to real estate is defective. The ma
jority of cases to perfect title to real
estate arises where the present owner
has a title ba Sed upon a tax deed and
he and those through whom he claims
have more than % years possession
Mr. James stated that while Is
wears possession was good defense
to an action of ejectment. it seems to
be the better opinion that it requires
proof of % years possession to obtain
a decree Of the court to perfect Your
title.
He also pointed ont that a great
many errors in titles were caused by
inexperienced people attempting to
draw deeds and deeds of trust and re-
leases.

Simplicity Features
Pretty Everett
Residence.
Woodland Drive House Is
of Charming Informal
Cottage Type.

There have been built in Washing
ton recently many houses of unusual
ly attractive design and there has
been a great tendency on the part of
home owners toward acquiring res
licences that express individuality.
Not the least of the latest additions
to the splendid residences now going
up in Washington Is the new home of
William w. Everett. 3010 Woodla nd
drive.
This residence is entirely different
from the two previous houses shown
in the Beautiful Homes In the Ma
tional Capital feature. Both of the
previous houses have been largely of
the English village type. This resi-
dence is an informal cottage style,
adapted in a great measure from the
late Georgian style of architecture,
but with no attempt to conform to
any one period design.
The approach to the house Is, as the
name Of the street on which II Is sit
uated would suggest. a woodland
drive. 1t can he seen for some dis
tance and stands out. distinctly amid
natural surroundings.
Here again is an example of the
preservation of the contour Of the
land. No attempt has been made to
better the beauties of nature by lev
cling the surrounding territory. The
house. in fact, stands on a knoll with
even the rolling contour of the front
garden preserved and seized upon as
a means OF additional attraction. The
front Of the house faces on Woodlan nd
drive. To the left the ground gently
slopes downward and in the rear the
ground slopes upward. with a steep in

Of nesting comfortably at the foot OF
a hill.
The trees are well preserved. Every
natural beauty is kept so that the
grounds surrounding the house give
a natural park appearance. the charm
OF which is greatly increased by the
use of rustic seats.
The house Is constructed Of hollow
tile. with cement stucco and local
rubble stone of variegated colors. The
colored rubble stone is used in various
parts of the exterior and blends well
with the white stucco. which forms
the main background OF the outer de
sign. This stone is used effectively at
the top of the two chimneys. and be-
sides being attractive will not show
the discoloration from the smoke as
would a chimney of stucco entirely.
The roof Is made attractive by va
rle2ated rustic slate. which shows to
advantage, because the roof slopes to
various exposures. The copper down
spouts and fiushings give an air OF
durability and quality to the exterior
drainage system of the house.
French windows lead out of the side
of the house through a modified sun
parlor and also to the tagged walk
in front Of the house. Above the sun
parlor is a roof garden porch. which
can be entered from one of the beu-
rooms also through French windows
There are numerous windows, which

'Esta blishing a Type.

Every woman can be either beauti-
full or so interesting that her looks
won't matter. Naturally, she will
want to be both, but that's as Nature
made her.
If she isn't beautiful, and can't be,
even though she has a clear skin, rich,
glossy hair. bright eyes, a good car
riage and good figure, all of which
blessings she can acquire by her own
efforts, then she must put most of
her work upon making herself in
teresting. First of all, she must en-
phasize her type, or establish one.
There are boyish types, sweet young
girl types, the sensible womanly-
woman type; oh, there are thousands
There are the many slightly artistic
types, the intellectual ones, which
need not, however, wear ugly dresses
and school spectacles. If the lifeless
rather anemic woman can simply find
her type, and then accentuate it, she
is made socially.
IT homely, the woman should dress
little out of the ordinary, but not
enough to be freakish. It's amazing
how interesting a woman is said to
be, when people begin to say, smil-
ingly, that she's eccentric. Every one
wants to meet her. She should
choose style of dressing, and never
change it, merely modify it to keep
1t with fashion. 1 know one woman
who looked rather a figure in an
early Italian painting. She wore
black velvet basque dresses with wide
lace collars and lace ruff1es at the
