were white women entering colored
home here last week, they seized
their riot guns and forced an en-

women were Mrs. Alfred Moore and
her married daughter, Mrs. Louise
Moore Manuel, both colored. They
had followed the women in a police
car and two of them apologized when
they learned they had made a mis-

Bad Advertising

II used to be said that the Ger
mans we're the worst hammered peo-
pie on earth And it used to be
said In their defense they were not
so bad, but they made everybody
think they we're. And out of this
universal impoliteness came much
of the bad advertisement that caus-
ed such widespread feeling against
them during the World War.
The same Is true, in some meas
ure, about some colored people.
They advertise themselves badly.
And in so doing they bring odium
upon the entire race.
An incident will serve. A large
woman tried to squeeze into about
six inches of space on a street car.
She CURLY ordered passenger to
move over. Then, having squeezed
in, she forced her way to a full
sized seat, shoulder room and ALL
Two passengers got up to make
room for her. There wasn't, as it
happened, enough room in the first
place for small person to occupy.
Now the Caucasian passengers
were resentful. And it just happens
that the lady was flagrantly wrong.
Equality and justice carry with
them responsibility. He who seeks
justice must do justice.
Bumptiousness is not mark of
outstanding. Obvious arrogance does
not connote love of liberty. Manhood
and womanhood aren't shown by
trying to take that which is not
justly yours.
1t is the quiet, assured politeness,
backed by quick ability to see that
you get justice If it is denied, that
is necessary. Don't walk with a
chip On your shoulder. It's sure to
be knocked off by someone. And
all the others will say that, because
of the chip you were looking for
trouble. 1t pays to advertise. But
not to advertise badly.

A charming English garden with flag
stone walks. a bird bath, lawn and
profusion of flowers suitable to the ar
chitectural style of the house is being
developed in the rear yard of The Star
model home at 4422 Que street, Foxhall
Village.
Details of the landscaping plan are
being worked out this week by Boss &
Phelps, the builders, following grading
of the rear and front yards of the prop
erty in order that the planting and
other developments may be completed
prior to the opening of the house, which
is scheduled for the middle of October.
Privacy is assured to the rear garden
due to the fact that the garage, of I'M
usual type, is located at the extreme
rear of the lot The garage is double
in size and the wall bordering the gar
den has been carried over in arch style
to the right of the yard. shutting the
alley completely from view of the gar
den.
There are three arches in this facade
of the garage and in recess under the
arches will be constructed lattice for
climbers to be planted there.
There is two-story porch at the left
rear of the house and from the lower
porch floor steps will lead down into
the garden A service porch, leading
from the kitchen. is at the right rear
of the house, also having steps down to
the garden.
The house itself now is in an ad-
vanced stage of construction and visi-
tors may have good understanding
of what it will look like when the finish
ing work has been completed. The floor
ing has been laid throughout the house
and workmen now are engaged in put

structed cold closet for food storage.
Stationary wash tubs will be set near
window, where there will be ample light

A pipe has been run from the oil tank
to the rear of the garage, with its intake
opening at the alley. Thus the tank
may be replenished without having the
truck backed into the yard.
The south half of @ street between
Foxhall road and Forty-fourth street
now is being paved and this work will
be completed in ample time before the
formal opening of the house. Temporary
walks now have been constructed so
that visitors may have easy access to

out Q street to Wisconsin avenue, then
west on Reservoir road to Forty fourth
street and thence south to @ street.
1t also may be reached by bus from

SHEPHERD PARK STAR MODEL
HOME HELD OPEN TWO WEEKS

The Star model home in Shepherd
Park, at the corner of Morningside
drive and Juniper street. is to be held
open for two more weeks. A great many
people have visited the home not only
to see the attractive and unusual fur
nishings that are well worth inspection,
but as well to get ideas in the building
Of their own homes.
Visitors are seeing here for the first
time many new home fitments. There
are also incorporated in this home sew
eral new ideas In design which add to
home comfort. There is. for example,
the combined spacious living room and
sun room. A great open arch IL feet
wide connects these rooms, making
them as one. This not only lends a
spaciousness to the living room, but
permits the tasteful placing of all fur
niture that one might desire in living
room.
Another of the unusual features of
the home is the den, or library. which

trimmed out with rough-hewn chestnut
beams and its great stone chimney and
fireplace, together with its unusual type
Of ceiling, which runs to the ridge of the
roof, make it unusual.
These are but a few of the many
ideas that have been incorporated into
the home. The house has an electric

Holding that the parking of auto
mobiles overnight in the streets con-
etitutes a serious problem, traffic
menace and almost a disgrace" to the
city, the Operative Builders Associa-
ton today forwarded to the Zoning
Commission a petition for amending
the zone code to permit the construc-
ton of garages in easements of apart
ment buildings for the use of tenants
without consent of adjoining property
owners, as now required
In forwarding the letter asking for
o public hearing on the proposed
amendment Rufus S. Lusk, executive
secretary of the association pointed
out that often it is impossible to obtain
the necessary consent, and that in
many sections streets are lined with
cars of all-night parkers. most of whom
would be unable to rent a garage nearby
il they so desired.
The association emphasizes that the
proposed amendment would not pro-
vide for public garages. but rather
only provision for the tenants of the
buildings in which the garages were
permitted.
The proposed amendment reads:
"a basement garage may be placed in
an apartment house, provided that such
a garage is large enough to accommo-
date only one car for each individual
apartment in the building; and pro-
vided, further, that no washing, repair
ing or sales of any kind are conducted
on the premises: and provided, further,
that such garage cannot be leased to
a third party, but must be operated by
the owner of the apartment building;
and provided, further, that the accom-
modations are for the tenants only of
the building"
Car to Apartment.
Mr.. Lusk stated that the association
hoped to accomplish the following
points by means of the proposed amend
ment:
81. The installation of garage in an
apartment house providing for more
than four cars, but only enough space,
including aisles for one car for each
individual apartment in the building.
80 We do not wish this garage to be
q public garage in any sense, but to be
used only for storage of cars. and that
no repairing or sale Of gasoline, oil,
etc. be permitted.
IS. We do not wish this garage to
be subject to lease, so that third
party could take it over and operate it
at q profit, but that it must be oper-
ated by the building owner.

House for Artist Is Envy of Many Owners
Design in the Flesh
Just as Good as It
Was on Paper.
WIDE SIDING, STONE
AND STUCCO USED
Narrow Dormers Garry Out
Colonial Scheme of
Construction.
BY l.. PORTER MOORE.

President Home Owners Institute, Inc.
A design that has been constructed is
usually somewhat more interesting to
read about and study than is one which
has not been built. 1t is such a design,
plan No. 327-S, that we feature today.
This attractive Colonial dwelling,
planned for and now the residence of
an artist, may be seen in West Engle-
wood, N j. 1t was designed by W. H.
Beardslee of Hackensack. The plans
for this house for-an-artiSt have sue
cessfully withstood the acid test of con-
struction; it is just as good in the
flesh" as it were, as it promised to be
in the drawings and it is the envy OF
many who see it.
AS built in West Englewood the
house cost $l4,500 1t contains $4,000
cubic feet, approximately So cents
cubic foot. AS material and labor costs
vary in different sections, these figures
should not be accepted as exact.
Three materials, stone, stucco and
wide siding are combined in the eX-
terror walls. Narrow dormers, placed
without regard to symmetry, yet pleas
lngly, carry out the simple Colonial
architectural feeling, as does the door
way with its typical sidelights, and

Square corners red sandstone, so often

house; with chimney in dull red COM

scheme would be distinctive indeed.

thing we note that we like about the
The billiard room, which the
uses as a studio, is the
next. Now that billiard tables of small
size are avoidable, more and more homes
are being equipped with them. In some
home with model easements the table
is placed somewhere between heating
plant and laundry trays; in others It
is beneath the insulated ceiling of the
attic; in this house there is space for it
right on the main floor.
There are two other special fea-
lures of the interior of the design. One
is the breakfast nook. The other is
the extra heavy lavatory off the corner
bedroom on the second floor. This
room could we'll be used as a maids
room. 1t would be comfortable cor
ner In which to lodge the overnight
guest.

FOR GARAGES IN APARTMENTS

Auto Storage Without Consent of
Adjoining Owners.

20. The space in such a garage is to
be for the exclusive use of the tenants
in the building, and even though there
be vacant space, such space is not to
be rented to outsiders"
The petition of the Operative Build
ers' Association reads, in part, as fol-
lows:
AT the present time such garages
may be placed in apartments, provided
that the owners of rs per cent of the
property within the square or all other
property within 200 feet of the pro-
posed garage have given written con-
sent to the installation of such a ga
rage 1t often happens that it is i'm
possible to obtain this consent. This,
we believe. is due to the fact that ad-
iacent property owners are not edu-
Gated to the necessity of getting cars
off the streets at night.
Presents Menace.
MANY apartments are in residential
districts in which there is no public
garage within many blocks; in some
cases it is 10 or Is blocks to the near
est public garage. Even though apart
ment jewellers want to garage their car,
it would be practically impossible for
them to do so. If an apartment has
1IO OWIl RdIdSC 1GClllbISS, UIISSG Cdll NC
rented cheaply and as they would be
rented along with the apartment, ten
ants would be glad to take their cars
off the streets at night.
THE storage of automobiles on the
streets at night is not merely a serious
problem and traffic menace but is al
most disgrace to the city. There is
probably not city of this size in the
country which permits the garaging of
cars on the streets. Not only are cars
garaged on the streets but big trucks
furniture vans and other commercial
vehicles are left out all night. Per-
mitting garages in apartments will be
a step toward the solution of this prob
lem, which has to be solved some time.
Around any apartment house which
does not contain automobile storage
facilities there are parked so many
cars at night that sometimes it is i'm
possible to get within blocks of a par
ticular building. For example, Cali
fornia street from Connecticut avenue
west for two or three blocks is lined
solidly with cars on both sides; r and
S streets between Fifteenth and Seven
tenth streets are lined with cars,
whereas in front of apartment houses,
such as 2400 Sixteenth street, which
contains garage, there are practically
no cars parked. Examples could be
multiplied indefinitely"

of the surrounding lawns and both
streets.
In order to preserve the beauty of
the wide front lawn, the winding brick
walk leads to the front portico from the
right side of the lawn, and the drive
way to the garage is located at the ex-
creme left of the lot. AS many as pos
sible of the evergreen and dogwood trees
on the site were preserved in the build
Ing of the house and now form valuable
features of the landscaping plan, which
was executed by j. H. Small 81 Sons for

the lot.
The house, large colonial structure
of the Jeffersonian period of architec-
ture, is set we'll back from the street,
leaving a spacious lawn in front. and
is faced toward the intersection of the
two streets. Thus the visitor approach
ing the house has an interesting, chang
ing perspective of the house. affording
a good view of not only the front of
the house but the sides as well.
This situation of the house also gives
one inside the house a wide perspective
