A considerable increase in the con-
struction of homes in the District of

RESUME BUILDING
ON EMBASSY row
Mrs. Henderson Will Erect
Chancery for French
Government.

Renewed building activity soon viii
be seen along Washington's En-
basey row."
Following closely upon the acquisi'
zion by the Spanish government OF the
stone mansion at the corner OF SIX
tenth and Fuller streets as its new
annba ssv. comes the announcement to-
day that a new embassy structure
shortly will be erected at the corner OF
FIFTEENTH and Euclid streets for use
by the French government as chah'
gerry.
This new structure, an Impressive
4hree-story building executed IN moo
ern French design, will be built by
Mrs. John B. Henderson. who has
PLAYED an active part in the develop
1nent of Embassy row." being the
builder of the French embassy build
ing, as we'll as Of the so-called vice
Presidents house, which she has just
sold to the Spanish government as an
embassy.
The new French chancery will be in
the block east of the site at Sixteenth
and Euclid streets, where the French
government, it is understood, plans
eventually to erect a new and more
elaborate embassy. The chancery has
been made necessary at this time, it is
said, by the present crowded condition
of the present embassy quarters.
Another development in this vicinity
which will greatly enhance the beauty
and value Of the section will be in
progress at the same time this Sum-
mer when the United States Govern
ment will set to work to transform the
present barren waste land at the lower
end of Meridian Hill into q terraced
parkway, with elaborate landscaping,
in keeping with the upper develop
ment of the park.
The chancery building, which will
be located just north of the park. will
be of gray stone construction. Offices
for the French consul are planned for
the first floor, and the counselor and
his secretaries will be provided quar-
tiers on the second floor. The third
floor will be devoted to the use of the
military and naval attaches.
The chancery building, 20 feet long
and as feet wide, will stand in the CEN
ter of the lot, surrounded by gardens.
The construction Of the new chan
Gerry will cost approximately 100000
It was designed by George Oakley Tot
ten, tr., Of Washington, who was the
architect Of the French embassy and
other Sixteenth street embassy build
ings.
The new chancery is to be leased to
the French government by Mrs. Hen.
derson, according to present plans.

Along with a growing appreciation OF
these old-time homes has come re-
vival Of interest in loaded glass such
as was used III them.
Loaded panes are so much more IN
teresting than mere sheets OF glass
and give q room such a coy, inviting
appearance--at the same time adding
note of smartness to the exterior
that a house is materially improved
end its resale value Is increased
through their use.
The olden- time feeling that things
made during the period when good
craftsmanship was the rule is one OF
the most appealing things about these
loaded windows. Color is another. A
Bit of color judiciously introduced in
living room. dining room or stairway
window brightens the interior ana
makes for charm and interest.

the second time by the Supreme Court

that the ordinace violated articles s

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BAYONNE, N. j., April 9.--Fifty
sea scouts of America and their
parents and friends cheered today as
the bright new 50-foot' motor boat
Essex was launched at the plant of
the Electric Launch Co.
When the trim craft slid down the
ways, Nelson Twiner, 20, leader of the
South Orange and Maplewood scouts,
who is a clerk for the Prudential Life
Insurance Co., fired two salutes from
q light Lisle cannon.
Before the boat had completed her
trip down the 200-foot runway,
Twfner picked up a one-pound bag of
powder and rammed it down the
mouth of the cannon, Apparently,
the powder bag stuck, for Twiner
tried to force 1t home with a vigorous
push.
There followed an explosion and a
leap OF flame from the gun. Twiner,
both hands virtually blown off and
a gaping hole torn in mis- chest, was
knocked off his feet by the blast.
Two sea scouts and the father of one
Of them were burned.
Twiner was rushed to Bayonne
Hospital where he died an hour later.
Physicians maryeled that the scout
leader lived as long as he did. They
said the explosion had torn such a
hole in his chest that his heart was
exposed.
The others injured, George Kramer,
40, and his son Edward, Is, and Cliff
ford Wilson, IT, all Of West Orange,
were treated for burns and lacera-
lions.
Emerson Powell, leader OF the
Orange scouts, said Twiner had fired
the gun often and apparently was
thoroughly familiar with the method
of loading it.

he presses the proper gadget and in
stantly a bright red light appears
against his name on the board. No
calls for green light, and present,
but not voting" is signified in yellow.
That is the best part of the electric
machine-you can push a button even
ii you don't want to vote.
The button-pushing is just the be.
ginning Of the automatic operation,
however. When the speaker is as
sured that all have voted, he directs
the clerk to record the vote" The
clerk muffies yawn and extends his
hand to a button on his own table.
the rows Of lights on the boards go
out, and a single red bulb on the left
of the clerks desk lights up. Stimuli
taneously a whirring noise from the
inside Of polished box on the speak
er's table indicates that something inn
portant is going on within.
Records Official Result.
A moment later the red light goes
out with a pop" the clerk reaches
to the bottom of the box and before
the uninitiated realize what is hap
pening, long paper is hauled forth,
bearing the official result of the ball
lot.
That is all there is to it. There
is no danger of a miscount. no room
for misunderstanding. Everybody's
vote is clearly shown to the world
and carefully tabulated by machine.
And much of the time previously lost
in tedious roll calls is saved for con-
sideration of new bills.
Naturally, the more bills considered
per hour. the greater the amount of
legislation enacted in a given time.
And the greater the frequency with
which the delegates may push those
intriguing buttons on their desks

The advances to be made for these
