in the Italian type by Gilbert Rodier
for w. J. DUNCAN.
Here we have the next step beyond
the long row. and it Is equally dis
tinctive In its surroundings. Again
1t brings to speculative housing the
charm that one finds in the detached
suburban developments by the very
frank expedient of designing accord
ing to similar conditions without the
acceptance OF hard and fast average,
according to which all housing must
meet certain general conditions and
meet them in exactly the same way
Here we have three houses in an in
teresting type of architecture, one
house with a little arcaded porch and
the fianking houses with front ter
races and open porches, the end
houses, however, having the addi-
tional advantage of large inclosed
porches with light and air on two
sides at the ends Of the dining room.
There is give-and-take in this propo-
sition-the possible loss of a front
porch Of questionable value and the
undoubted gain of individuality, dis
tinction, personality, atmosphere and
other attributes which reflect in archi-
lecture the effort of human beings to
get out of the ruts of existence.
Special attention may we'll be TO-
cused upon the treatment of these
rear porches in this example, as we'll

Of needed living room space. How
ever, both points Of view and both
requirements may be met In these
houses.
Another element which impresses It,
self upon one Is the maximum accen-
tuation Of length by featuring an
aXial connection to the rear porch.
The one point of improvement to
which subsequent effort might well
be directed would be the focusing of
further attention upon the possibii-
ties of these back porches. not treat
ing them simply as though they could
not be seen, since from the block ends
and from the opposite houses they are
conspicuous and certainly not deco
rative.
Attention may also be focused upon
the unusual arrangement Of the block
interior, with massed garages. permit
ting considerable extra disable space
in opposite yards.
Here also we find the subordination
of stairway, to which reference has
been previously made: The stairs are
ample for their function, but there is
no unnecessary outlay in an effort to
feature them for their decorative
value.
From this row group 1t is but a
short run up to Fifth and Longfellow
via Illinois avenue and Longfellow
street to a, point from which may be
seen the community group designed

first in that there is applied to the
row-house problem the same sort Of
treatment that is normally applied to
the detached house; in other words,
frank acceptance Of the problem that
some houses may have porches but
that all houses need not have Them
and that to some people terraces with
awnings may be equally acceptable.
The result Is a group much more
varied in its appearance than the one
first examined, made possible by the
freedom Of treatment, with variation
in use of materials, which the style
permits. We find the same treatment
of the ends which conceal the back
porches, which, however, we will con-
slider further under the subject of the
treatment of backs.
An examination of the interiors of
these houses shows two distinct types
OF plan very cleverly featured to OBJ
tain the maximum living room space
even. with vestibule. A garment
should be cut to fit the cloth, and
with as little space as is available
in house of this type It Is serious
question in weighing the pros and
cons. as one is always forced to do,
whether there is justification for
maintaining the fiction of a private
right OF way for the servant from
the kitchen to the front door, If this
right of way is maintained at the loss

namely, the semi-detached houses de-
signed by w. II. Irving Fleming for
Walter Vaughn at Michigan avenue
and Thirteenth street northeast, which
may be reached via Illinois avenue
Webster street and Hardwood road
which runs between the Soldiers
Home grounds and the Catholic Uni.
versity property to Michigan avenue
In both of these projects there has
been intensive study of the problem
OF the rear porch in an effort to MAKE
1t attractive and livable.
Casual inspection of most specula
tive houses demonstrates that il is
olten customary to slap on any kind
OF q porch at the back Of the house
and then leave 1t for the purchaser to
complete the job by putting screens
or storm sash as best he is able. The
result Is usually a botched job. and

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-06-26

est is in a study Of group housing
rather than Of detached dwellings, the
firsk inspection should be made of the
row houses designed by J. Wilmer
Smith for c. H. Small & Co. These
houses are reached by going east on
Florida avenue, passing Camp Meigs
and Gallaudet College, to the border
ing West Virginia avenue and then
north on West Virginia to Queen
street northeast. where the houses
may be easily identified because Of
their striking and distinctive char
acter.
The first impression created Is that
the usual row-house problem has been
solved in a very satisfactory way.
Every house has it's porch, but the
porches are so varied in detail and so
supplemented with terraces, and
withal disposed in such an orderly
manner. that instead of counting as q
multiplication of little units, each
exactly like the other. the effect is of
a fine large structure, as imposing in
it's mass as one big building, yet with
all the charm and intimacy associ-
ated with little houses. The porches
are set close to the ground, which is
another very desirable accomplish
ment, in that it gives the houses a
comfortable feeling of easy connec-
ton with the ground in place of the
usual stilted effect. Viewed from the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-06-26

ends, there is no evidence of the
usual fake mansard roof or the awk-
ward stepped side walls or the un-
slightly back porches.
The latter are covered by the sub
stantially inclosed porches Of the end
houses. which really add an additional
room to the regular house unit. In.
side two distinct types of plans are
found, one Of which almost immedi.
ately makes good its claims for prefer
ence, with its frank acceptance of
limitations as indicated in the man
ner in which 1t deliberately chooses a
large living room in place of super.
fluous stair hall. These houses
demonstrate the possibilities of the
Georgian type as applied to the row
house problem.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-06-26
Comparison Is Made.

The next step makes an interesting
comparison of the Georgian with an
earlier phase of English work. Re-
turning to Florida avenue. and con.
.inuing up North Capitol street to the
Soldiers Home, we skirt the west side
Of the Soldiers Home property and
proceed to Fifth and Decatur streets,
where we find another group of row
houses, developed by Louis Justement
for the Cafritz Construction Company
Here again Is another advance step,
this time even more radical than the

NO ERRORS FOUND
 IN O'C0NNOR CASE
Local Girl Probably Hurt Cause by Arguing It Herself

Hartford, Jan. 29 Rl-That Miss Vivian M. O'ConnOr of New Britain greatly injured her case by appear ing as her own lawyer, being wholly without training or experience in le- gal procedure, was indicated in an opinion handed down by supreme court of errors at New Haven yes terday which found no errors in the judgment rendered by Judge Hin. man in superior court for tho de- fcndants, Annie Solomon and others.
 The supreme court handed down eight opinions and found no error in five of thcm.
 In ruling against Miss O'Connor, Justice William NJ. Maltbie declared: "A party who, unskilled in such matters, seeks to remedy some claimed wrong by invoking processes which are at best technical and com pACated, is very i'll advised and as sumcs q most difficult task Our courts, however, have always been lcnient toward such a one, and the record before us Is rcplete with evi. dencc that every reasonable assist ance was given to the plaintiff in her efforts to present her case for trial and to prepare 1t for presentation to this court, We cannot of course, entirely disregard the established rules of procedure.
 But wo do not, as we might, dis miss the appeal out of-hand with the comment that the record before Us does not properly present any question of law which we would re- view. Rather out of consideration for the plaintiffs youth and inex- perience. we search the record to see !fs we can find any reasonable grounds upon which an appeal may be prcdicated."s

The bank had sued Robbins F. Stoeckel, receiver of the Gaynor Manufactur- ing company and the Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge com pany.
