new WASHINGTON
BUILDING ON WORLD
CORNER IN CAPITAL

The Washington building. one of
the largest and finest buildings in
the Federal Capitol. is being built
at the junction of New York avenue.
10th and G streets. opposite the
United States Treasury and within
stones throw of the White House
grounds, on what is known as a
world corner
In real estate parlanCe world
corner is one of the few crossroads
of the world-in the heart of a A.
nancial. industrial, and political cap
itol-whose character is definitely
and permanently esta blished for
generations to come.
The value of the location of the
Washington building is shown by the
fact that the increased land value
since 1910 has averaged IA percent
yearly making total increase of
SLY in as short a period as twenty
years.
The central location Of the Wash
ington building gives added value to
the Is retail stores on the ground
floor, of which 10 have already been
leased for long term of years. The
second and third floors are given
over to banking rooms. with offices
occupying the upper floors.
The four and one-half acres of
rentable space in the Washington
building are lighted by more than
400 windows on three sides Of the
building, and are served by oil-burn-
ing equipment and battery of high
speed elevators. Every possible fea
ture of modern office building con-
struction has been utilized for the
comfort of the tenants of this mod
ern temple of commerce. which, with
its fioodlighting at night. will be
one of the notable buildings in a
city that is known the world over for
its magnificent public and private
structures.
The Washington building was de-
signed, developed and financed by
New England men. under the direc-
ton of the City Central Corporation
of America.

PROGRAM OF EXCEPTIONAL INTEREST FOR
INSTALLATION OF PASTOR ALL SOULS CHURCH

Thirty years ago, after a heated the
illogical discussion in which he had
participated. he retired for the sum-
mer to the hills. His friends pre-
dicted that it was for the purpose OF
preparing a theological treatise. In
the autumn he returned to publish
not theological essay, but MISS
Muffets Christmas Party, a book
which has gone through numerous
editions to delight children and
srown-ups ever since. Twenty three
years ago, DR.. Crothers electrified a
great audience in fremont Temple
at the time of the investigation or
great insurance companies by pro-
claiming that the cardinal sins OF
the day were lying and stealing,
Again he retired. this time to what
has come to be known as Crothers-
croft at Silver Lake, n. III. This au-
tumn the wise ones said. DR.. Croth-
ers will produce solid work on the
morals of the times. That autumn
saw the first edition of The Gentle
Reader. At once he was hailed as
a man of letters to take easily a
place among the best opponents OF
criticism and humor in the United
States. Since then fourteen volumes
have come from his pen to chasten,
to instruct and to amuse an ever
widening audience. There are few
colleges in the entire United States
where he has not appeared as
preacher or lecturer. The curriculum
of many colleges and high schools
requires the reading of some Of his
essays as specimens of the best Eng
lish in print. He can say many SOL
emn things playfully and many play
full things most~ solemnly, all of
which acts as a genial message to
the mind and spirit. making his
hearers ready recipients of his seri-
Gus message. His spirit of youth
ever young for liberty and truth.

It would be difficult to find a
more convenient arranged plan for
its size, than the one shown here.
For small house, the sizes of the
living room. dining room and living
porch are as large as those found in
much more expensive houses. The
elimination of all hall space on the
first floor has much to do with this.
The arrangement of the stairs is
exceptionally good, they are entirely
out of the way and yet most con-
venient. The long landing which is
two steps up from the living room
and kitchen adds to the spacious
ness of the living room.

Eastman's New Method

Atlanta will be one of ten cities
where a new teaching scheme will be
tried out by the Eastman Kodak COM
pany. This is the furnishing of NOV
ing picture textbooks in geography,
civics and hygiene, small or individ-
aul motion picture cameras and a
screen 40 by 40 inches adaptable to
school room use and the films one
sixth the size of those used in shows.
The expense of the equipment will be
borne by the Eastman company this
year but the demonstration is likely
to be so successful and the results so
valuable that it will be only matter
of short time until all schools will
procure and operate similar equip
ment.
George Eastman should be remem-
bered as philanthropist and the in
ventor of the modern camera and
kodak as well as the owner of a great
business in the sale of kodaks, by
which his name is most familiar. ~

GEORGIA PRESS UNITES FOR STATE
DEVELOPMENT

Now, all together.
The executive officers of the Georgia Press
Association have properly endorsed the nat
ional publicity campaign being fostered by tn
Hearst Syndicate of newspapers all over tn
country in behalf of Georgia and the endorse
ment will receive the unanimous backing o.
the members of the association throughout thu
State. This forward movement for Georgia
launched by the twenty-five great newspaper
owned by Mr.. Hearst whose readers are mum
bered by the millions will bring the resources
and opportunities in and of Georgia to the at
tention of the entire country and will produce
vertable landslide of settlers from the frozel
north and west and east, who can and viii
make veritable Garden of Eden" of the pro
ductive lands of Georgia now lying idle.
The following resolutions were adopted by
the Executive Committee, to which we give
our hearty approval:
WHEREAS, a movement has been
started to develop Georgia along stable
lines by making known it's resources and
opportunities to the country at large and
by arousing it's own people to renewed
understanding, confidence and enthu-
siasm concerning the possibilities of this
great state; and,
WHEREAS, the newspapers of Geor-
giagia have been requested to join in this
movement by each taking the lead in its
respective community all joining togeth-
er for the common welfare; therefore, be
it
"RESOLVLD, by the Board Of Man
ayers of the Georgia Press Association in
special meeting assembled in Atlanta at
the call of our president, That we endorse
the program which has been laid for us.
"RESOLVED, further, That we pledge
the support of the newspapers we lndl-
vidually represent and recommend to the
Georgia Press Association at it's next gen.
eral assembly the adoption of similar en-
dorsement to the end that the whole
press of Georgia shall move together IN
solid phalanx toward the fullest develop
ment of the great resources and possibih-
ties of our State"
Resolutions of the same effect will be pre-
sented at the annual meeting of the assocla
ton, to be held in Louisville, Ca, September

Bears NO Grudge

Mrs. SOLVE P. Belmont, noted less
as mElti-millionaire than as an ac-
tive suffragist of many years prestige
and no& the president of the National
Womanss Party, about five years ago
bought and presented to her organ
izationA splendid historic site for the
party's permanent headquarters and
home. 1t stands across the. street
from the capitol grounds and ada
cent to the congressional library.
Three old mansions comprise the
present improvements though these
were built years ago and during the
War of 1912 when the capitol was
destroyed Congress occupied one of
these buildings. Now Congress has
passed bill to appropriate S50,00O,-
900 for new buildings, one of which
is to house the Supreme Court.
There is not a doubt but this prop
erty of the Woman's Party will be
condemned and purchased for that
use. Some thought that such a mill
tant body would put up a fight
against being ousted. Some of the
leaders say, however, they knew
when they obtained the site that it
would be wanted some day for public
use though no one wanted it at the
time, and that they are sure they will
lose nothing on the investment.
