GRANT FINDS CITY
GROWING LOPS|DED
Advocates Government Con-
troll ArchitecturaIIy of North
Side Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Government should exercise
architectural control over the develop
ment OF the north side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue, in view OF the develop
ment on the south side by the triangle
building program, Lieut.. Col. U. S.
Grant, Sd, executive ofilcer of the Ma
tionsl Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, told the Association of Federal
Architects meeting yesterday afternoon
In the Interior Department auditorium
The coming law seems to have worked
out well so far, Col. Grant said, noting
the large increase In apartment con-
Etruction here, which he pointed out is
in greater proportion than any other
city but Kansas City. The peculiar
needs Of Washington, with officials who
remain here but limited time, he said,
might explain this.
Zoning Heighs Discussed.
Should the coming height be raised
TO even 1870 feet on r and G streets in
the downtown section Of the city, Col.
Grant asserted, the buildings would
detract from the domination which the
CAPITOL dome now exerts architecturally
over the city, as a mass of towers and
pinnsCles would arise. The growth OF
the city is lopsided. the colonel said, but
looked to coming to control this.
Col Grant characterized the Fort
drive development around the city as
a project still possible of attainment,
the like of which there is not IN the
whole Nation because of its historical
and scenic worth. Rock Greek Park Is
no longer adequate to the needs Of the
city, Col. Grant said, citing the fact
that neighborhood recreation centefs
are to be fully developed to meet this
requirement.
The grandson of the great Civil Wer
commander took as his topic THE Fu-
ture washington" reminding his hear
ers that this has become a hobby with
him.
Address by Architect Partridge.
W. T. Partridge. consulting architect
of the National CAPITAL Park and Plan
ming Commission, told the assembly, in
his address on The LEnfant Plan nf
washington, that LEnfant's plan of
WASHINGTON Is one of the best models
for the city planners of today. Mr..
Partridge asserted that L'Enfant made
no attempt to borrow from Versailles
or the plan for the rebuilding of Lon
don in drawing UP his scheme for the
capital of the new American Republic.
but devised a plan that fitted into the
topography of the District of Colurn-
bia
Through exhaustive study Of the
L'Enfant plan. Mr. Partridge found the
suggestion of a Masonic cross in the
Avenue plan Of the Capital and re-
minded the audience. when one con-
si0ers that those Ire rumental in the
DEVELOPMENT we're Masons, that there
NAV be some significance attaching.
Both Col. Grant and Mr.. Partridge
used illustrated slides to emphasize
their addresses. Louis A. Simon, pres
ident of the Association of Federal
Architects, who presided, told the or
eanization that the technical and cul-
t,iral influences in Washington were
here for the taking to aid the orgali-
cation in its mission of service to the
Federal Government.

ErMmURsT COLLEGE GLEE CLUB.


A new and welcome addition to the
list of college and university glee clubs
visiting Washington to give programs, Is
the Elmhurst College group, which pre-
sented a program at the Masonic Audi
torium last night under the auspices OF
the Lutheran Evangelical Church OF
this city. The chief regret was that,
coming so late in the season, only a
small audience attended the event. II
is too late to bring musical group
such as this, which deserves a large
and much more representative audience.
Those who were present gave the club
keen attention and encouraging ap-

blending of the voices of different

in fact, no single voice is allowed to

fine organ effects at times and beau

The diction is carefully given. There
is no deviation from key in capella

training in each number is obvious.
There are times when the accented
beat would seem to fall upon the less
important word and much might be
gained by developing more smoothness
in transition from one phrase into the
next. There should be no corners" in
singing. A prolonged, swinging line of
