Chairman of Fine Arts Body
! Gives Lecture on City
Planning.

The story of the laborious effort and
careful planning that lies behind the
development of the Capital was outlined
yesterday by Charles Moore, chairman
of the National Fine Arts Commission,
in an illustrated lecture in the Y. w. G.
A. Building, Seventeenth and K streets.
Mr. Moore gave credit 10 former
President Coolidge for giving impetus
to the monumental development be-
tween the Treasury Building and the
Capitol. The city is being planned as
an entity, Mr.. Moore said. Illustrating
his lecture with slides, plcturing in color
Washington of the past and as con-
templated by plans now being carried
out, he described the progress made
and the ideas underlying future
projects.
In the Washington of the future the
Lincoln Memorial will occupy the CEN
trail position. architecturally and cul-
turaliy, IN the great Mall development.
It Is the apex OF q triangle formed by
1t, the Capitol and the White House.
The Memorial itself, Mr.. Moore said,
is to be one terminus of the citys great
ceremonial highway-B street between
the Capitol Building and the Memorial.
Cannon Is Converted.
Recalling that Speaker Cannon OF
Illinois, who met with the Fine Arts
Commission on the site of the Memo
rial when its location was being dis
cussed, did not approve Of the site Sc
lected, Mr.. Moore said Cannon later
capitulated. When the commission was
deciding on the site Cannon remarked:
"A monument here would shake itself
Gown with loneliness"
He lived to see the Memorial COM
pleted," Mr.. Moore said. His only
observation was You gentlemen began
your kindergarten too late"
Development of the White House area
contemplates erection of a magnificent
State Department building on the west
Of Lafayette Square, Mr.. Moore said
and expressed hope that the building
would be authorized. He pointed out
that a building is not available to the
President for receiving foreign govern
mental officials and entertaining them,
except IN the White House.
Streets Restricted.
The streets adjoining Lafayette Square
are to be restricted to buildings serving
interests affiliated with the executive
departments, such as the Treasury an
EeS, the United States Chamber of
Commerce Building and others as much
as possible, he said.
The work of the Fine Arts Commits
sion is not without humorous aspects,
Mr.. Moore said. A woman, after view
ing the architects plan for the Lincoln
Memorial Bridge, connecting the Memo
rial and Arlington House. in Arlington,
Va, objected to the position of an
eagle pictured in stone on one of the
arches. The eagle had hateful MEN,
she averred, and was facing the South,
suggesting to her that the North was
making an uncomplimentary allusion to
the Civil War.
Mr.. Moore told his audience that the
woman was asked to look at the next
arch. There she saw an eagle facing
North.

Origin of Vegetables
in Common Use Today

Celery is spoken of In the
odyssey" and is later mentioned
by Pliny the Elder. which leads
scientists to believe it must have
originated either in Greece or the
Dardanelles. Lettuce also Is ma
tive to Greece. Sesame, walnuts,
peas, spinach, watermelon. were all
known in China 200 B. c. Spinach
was also brought back from New
Zealand by Cook after his famous
voyage. Sweet potatoes were
known in China 27O0 B. G. Rad.
ishes were cultivated in Japan and
China from the earliest historical
records. Bananas, first thought to
have originated in Asia, are now
known to have had their origin In
Central and South America. Inc
first records of figs were found In
an early drawing in the Pyramid
of Gizeh. Egypt, 23OO B. c. From
America prickly pear, maize and
tobacco were first imported into Eu-
rope and Asia after the voyage or
Magellan, 152O-21. Cabbage was
first known on the island of Lap
land, Denmark and on the isle OF
Heligoland. Satisfy was native OF
Greece, Dalmatia, Italy and Algeria.
The Jerusalem artichoke was dis
covered about the same time, 1916,
in both Brazil and Canada. Garlic
originated in Sicily.

Ancient Property Laws
Protected the Weaker

The oldest Greek statute now ex-
tant, governing the disposition Of
'real" property, comes from the Is
land of Crete. This is the law of
the city of Gortyna, dating from
perhaps B. G. 400 This inscrip-
tion, the largest existing fragment
of any Greek law, came to light less
than fifty years ago; for the stones
on which it was chiseled had been
buried for 1000 years or more and
it's discovery made sensation In
the learned world. 1t was about
thirty feet long in its original form;
the broken pieces are now scat
tered in several museums.
These laws show that more than
1000 years ago women In this
Cretan city could own property.
Moreover, the law provided that q
husband could not sell or mortgage
his wife's property, nor could son
dispose of his mothers property. If
q mother dies, says this ancient
statute on property, and leaves
children, the father has power over
her property. but he cannot sell II
or mortgage it unless the children
consent when they come OF age.
Moreover, if the father marries an
other woman after the first wife's
death. the children Of the first wife
shall have power over their moth
er's property. Penalties are pro.
vided for the violation Of any OF
these provisions.

Civilizations Passwords

A missionary captured by canni-
balls and stripped of most of his
clothing, managed to escape. Half
clad, he fled through the jungle, and
after many hours he blundered into
a native village, where, breathless,
he crouched against the wall OF q
native hut in an attempt to hide.
A voice from inside caused him
to start.
"Oh, you hopeless imbecile," he
heard. "Why on earth didn't you
redOuble hearts?"
'sThank goodness exclaimed the
missionary, "at last I'm among CIV
ilized people again.-London Opin-

PHOTOMETERS TEST
HEADLIGHT GLARE
Bureau of Standards Uses
Simple Device to Check
on Car Lamps.
BY ALLEN QUINN,
Automobile Editor.

ASSOCIATED Press Feature service.)
What proportion of automobiles have
klaring headlights?
An answer to that question is being
sought by the Bureau Of Standards in
experiments in night driving conduct
ed by H. H. Allen, headlight expert of
the bureau.
Photometers, mounted on the wind
shield sand lighted from inside car
with lights of varying intensity. are be-
ing used in the test. A photometer is
a simple device. A grease spot on
piece of paper may be one. Held
against the light, the grease spot will
appear brighter than the paper. Held
away from the light, it will appear
darker. That is the simple secret OF
the headlight tests.
Lights SHOW on Photometer.
lighted from inside the car, the
offotometer will remain dark until an
approaching car throws light stronger
than the lights inside. Then they will
brighten up. Lights of varying inten-
sity are thrown on the photometers
from inside the car in order that the
degree of brightness of the lights OF
approaching cars may be determined.
Allen is working on an automatic re-
cording device in order to simplify the
work. which thus far has involved the
use of counting devices operated by
hand.
Because so many other factors are
involved. no attempt is being made at
present to determine at what candle
power headlight glare becomes appar-
ent. Personal reaction, poor adjust
ment, poor design, the fitting of car
from weight in the rear seat, and other
things besides candlepower enter into
the extent of glare, it was pointed out.
Study for Reference Purposes.
The study is being undertaken for
reference purposes and for informa-
ton which might prove of value in
drawing headlight ordinances and laws
Incorrect adjustment and poor de-
sign of headlights are held by bureau
experts to be responsible for most Of
the glare seen on streets and highways.
A survey in the District of Columbia
made by the bureau showed great
proportion of automobile headlights out
of adjustment and not in compliance
with traflc regulations.
A driver on the highway should have
no trouble from headlight glare, it was
said, If his own lights are good enough
10 show the shoulder of the road
clearly.

FACTORS OUTLINED
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Cram Discusses Effects of
Huge Output on Sales
of Used Cars.

Whether or not the rush and excite
ment of the automotive industry's most
active year caused manufacturers and
dealers alike to allow the present used
car situation to develop unnoticed can
not be stated dogmatically, according to
B. H. Cram, president Of Grams Auto
motive Reports, Inc. There are too
many and varied factors involved. Yet
it is conceivable that the terrific clip
which manufacturing and selling have
maintained during the first nine months
played no small part in creating an
enthusiasm so intense to to unbalance
the normal, healthy trend.
The fact remains, however, that con-
ditions as regards used cars are acute.
Moreover, they are likely to remain
subnormal for the rest Of the year and
probably well into 1880. This despite
the industry's current awareneSS of the
situation and its attendant efforts to
afford relief.
In the first three-quarters of 1929 the
user-car market has been burdened with
the competition of an unprecedented
production and sales of new cars. The
normal movement of uSed-car stocks
has been retarded, and now the season
at which used-car buying normally
reaches its peak is past.
Preparing for 1880 Trade.
Upon the arrival of the seasonal re-
ceSsion in new-car sales and consequent
relaxing of output, dealers at once con-
centrated their attention on the reduc-
ton of the number of cars on hand
To prepare their business for the ad-
vent of the 1880 cycle, with the con-
current appearance of many new mod
els on the market, dealers were very
anxious to rid themselves of present
stocks. So anxious, in fact, that they
many of them at least-unwisely took
any used car offered in order to move
new car. In most cases they allowed
too much value on the used cars.
These steps achieved to a certain
