Local Builder Has Arranged
Construction Program to
Meet Demand

About eighteen months ago, d. J.
DUNCAN, knowing the demand for
moderate priced homes in communi-
ties which were available to street car
lines. schools, churches and stores,
purchased the major portion of the
golf links Of the old Columbia
Country Club. This, Mr.. Dunigan's 8
latest subdivision is now known
throughout the city as Columbia
Park, Seventh and Ipgraham streets,
N. w. It is bounded on the south
by Emerson street, Eighth street
on the west, Concord Avenue on the

and Eighth streets, and Is conven.
lent to the Fourteenth street car
line as well as the Ninth street car
line.
The development Of this section
has -been very rapid. Houses of the
colonial design and the popular
English type, of all sizes have been
built. Since the purchase OF this
tract about $50 houses have been
built and are now occupied by
pleased purchasers.
Owing to the great demand for
houses in this particular section.
Mr.. DUNCAN has arranged a large
building program and at this time
has about seventy houses nearly
completed. many Of which have al
ready been sold.
These homes are built by the
DUNCAN organization from the
ground up, only one building profit
is figured In the cost. That's one
reason why ~he is able to sell these
well built homes at such moderate
prices and easy terms, says Mr..
DUNCAN.

HERALD HARBOR
CLUB HOLDS
MEETING
Plans for Improving Popular
Summer Colony Submitted
and Discussed

The general meeting of the Herald
Harbor Country Club which was
held last Monday evening at the
Willard Hotel was attended by ap-
proximately six hundred Washing
tonians who went to hear plans
for the coming season submitted
and discussed. Many improvements
were suggested and plans definitely
made for construction work on
roads, hotel, stores, dancing pavilion,
amusement places and a board
walk. These improvements will no
doubt enhance the value of the
property of not only Herald Har.
Dor but of all surrounding terri.
tory. 1t has been said that land
in this section has already increased
in value several hundred per cent
because of the wonderful progress
made on the colony during the past
year.
In his opening speech the presi.
dent, Eliot H. Thomson, stated that
the Herald Harbor Country Club
was not only a club but was in
reality a citizens association or
ganized to promote ideas and plans
for the benefit Of all lot owners.
Many interesting points were
brought out by the reports Of the
various committees and earnest CO.
operation urged.
1t is hoped by the club that they
can in the next few years have a
summer resort on the Severn that
will be second to none in the East.
In the discussion of the need OF
such a project for Washington the
fact was brought out that because oil
closing of the Tidal Basin by the
last Congress there would be thou
sands of people in the Capital City
searching for a suitable place to
swim this summer and that no
place around Washington offered a
better beach or bathing facilities.
Anticipating large crowds at the
beach it was decided to erect a
large bath as quickly as possible.

Believe New Model
Anti ti-Aircraft Gun
Will Prove Effective

New York, Aug. 20.-(AP)-An
sntf-aircraft model of the new So
calibre Browning machine gun, the In
vention of which has been veiled In
mystery by the war department, is
being hailed as a real defense against
air raids.
What was regarded by some observ-
ers as an Intellectual defense put up
by three-inch land batteries at Fort
Tilden few days ago against "ene-
N.Y. raiders is expected to be rectified
to a large extent by the new DEATH
dealing device.
The chief advantage claimed for the
Browning gun by artillery officers is
that it eliminatee the time fuse on
shells. With the present guns it is
necessary not only to find the correct
range and direction but also to time
the fuse to explode in proximity OF
the target. The new gun, capable OF
hurting $50 quarter-pound proJect1les
a minute. will be tested soon by the
62nd Anti-Aircraft Regiment of the
Coast Artillery Corps at Fort Tilden.
In daylight tests there Monday and
Tuesday with old style guns only -
hits were scored spn air targets IN
10000 shots.
The ground range of the new gun Is
about 5000 yards.

exploration efforts had been received

and should do 1t at the earliest oppor-
tunity."

disclosed in a message received from
him by the navy department today un-

this influence in the interests of
peace and order. Whether 1t realizes
this desire will depend in large meas

the actual situation in Europe. 1t is
time for America to recognize eco
