The homes in this location have
an exceptionally high elevation and

view over the Potomac River about
mile in the distance. All streets
and alleys are being paved and
lawns beautifully Handicapped.
The homes themselves are ultra
modern and complete in every re-

WOODLEY PARK
ATTRACTIVE

The homes recently completed by
the Wardman Construction Com
pany, on Twenty-eighth Streets,
Woodley Park, are attracting much
attention and finding ready mar
ket, due largely to the obvious adj
vantages of the location.
In a setting that is ideally beau
uful, surrounded by private estates
and a long stretch of Rock Creek
Park, this development, 1t is safe
to predict. will remain a cultured
and beautiful residential section for
many generations. The fact that
there is scant possibility OF stores
or buildings of commercial nature
ever being situated in this area
Is proving a strong influence TO
people of natureI refinement and
fine sensibilities.
People of this character, it is safe
to assume, will not only care for
and improve the appearance Of
their own property, but will show
regard and respect for the entire
community and lend their support
to anything that would tend to
enhance the beauty or reputation
of the neighborhood.
The day, not so far distant when
Washington was overcrowded and
Che chief consideration of the home
seeker was to find a place in
which to live has past. Today we
find people, buying under normal
circumstances, very discriminating.
In order to have a striking appeal
a house must embody numerous
features of modern invention, it
must be substantially; not only in
construction but in dignity as well.
The community in which it is To-
Gated must be protected SO that the
purchaser can be certain that in
years to come he win be living in
surroundings equal to, or better
than his present means afford. In
other words today we have home
seekers, not merely house hunt.
ers."
According to the Wardman peo-
pie Woodley Park is not now, nor
will it ever be menaced by the con.
tamination of undesirable encroach-
ments.
In addition to the barriers of pro-
lection that figuratively stand be.
tween Woodley Park and all that
Is unattractive, this DEVELOPMENT
has the very important feature of
being so close in that it takes but
IL minutes to reach the downtown
section of the city.

Inns.
- No indication was given here of
any change in the widely divergent
views of the British and United

However, it IS believed today's
conference here might have had to
do with possible formula for a re-

the expected collpase.
British embassy sources declined
to reveal the nature of the confer

that the Geneva parley probably
