.GR|D|RON PLAN
HAS DRAWBACKS
Residential and Business Sec
tons Should Be Co-ordi.
mated in Planning.

Ever since antiquity men have de-
liberately planned the street systems
Of their towns. A regular, even pattern
Of streets intersecting one another ct
right angles Is no new invention. The
straight and rectilinear street plan
with all Its Intersections ct right an
giles may even have had Its greatest
vogue in Roman times
However convenient from some points
of view this so-called Gridiron plan may
be, It has distinct drawbacks when
considerable Irregularities Of ground
levels are encountered. The thought,
perhaps, that a greater equality among
the major number Of building sites may
be secured Is often an illusion, as 1t Is
certain that the great differences due
to nature always viii exist.
When q considerable area has been
laid out In blocks Of identically the
same size and shape, and the blocks in
turn subdivided into building plots,
each the same as its neighbor. no
proper provision has been made for the
varying uses TO which the plots must
be put. Experience has shown that no
residential district can flourish with
out its immediate adjacent local busi-
ness section to serve the daily wants Of
the inhabitants.
So in making the rounds Of our
cities and towns one finds that the
best places not only to look at but also
to live In are those where the residen-
tial and the business sections, with the
attendant schools and open area, are
disposed In the most just proportions.
Another difiiculty the complete grid
iron plan encounters Is that 1t creates
O strong tendency to make all streets
main highways. This means noisy
thoroughfares, diflcult and dangerous
TO cross. II q large proportion of the
houses In o given area were located on
streets through which there were little
or no inducement or even possibility
to through trafflc, the road needs and
desires of home owners would be met.
For today, whether one occupies large
estate or small lot. rest, quiet and
safety depend upon minimum Of
passing.
Another problem that the unmodi-
fed gridiron plan faces Is the tendency
to omit or satisfactorily to place open
or unoccupied spaces, dedicated 10
common use and enjoyment. How
often the difference between an attrac-
tive community and one that Il merely
ordinary 10 the Judicious placing Of o
few well arranged open spaces.
The first will be drab and motonous,
however well kept It may be; the sec
ond viii have variety and even gayety.
These open spaces may be fairly large,
such IS adequate school Fairgrounds,
or they may be mere triangles ct street
Intersections.

Realty Activity
Here 5000 Better
Than in 68 Cities
Figures Show Increase
Compared With Others
Over United States.

The national index figure for real
estate activity during October as pub
nshed by the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards this week showed
an increase Of ~ points over septem-
Der, whereas the increase for Washing
ton was 81 points, almost three times
better than the national showing, Il wAs
pointed out today by John A. Petty
secretary Of the Washington Real Estate
Board, IN an open letter to brokers and
statesmen.
The figures are based on reports from
SO cities throughout the country re-
garding the total number Of deeds re-
corded showing the transfer Of titles to
property.
Business Is getting better" Mr.
Petty stated in the letter, yet IL would
get better more quickly II the attitude
OF mind OF the people Of Washington
were changed. In their approach TO q
solution OF the unemployment problem
1t would be well II the interested In
dividuals and organizations were care
full Of their viewpoint.
Every real estate broker and sales
man should assume an Affirmative
manner In his approach and converse
ton with every contact. This would
disperse much Of the miasma Of miSIn-
formation and fear. The Dissemination
Of the following creed supplemented by
similar constructive thoughts would be
practical and helpful contribution:
More suggestions about employment
less reference 10 unemployment. More
reports Of progress. less reference to de-
preston. More efforts TO create Jobs
less tendency to curtail jobs. More
helpful advice to job seekers, less en-
| phasis on hopelessness Of situation
More positive advice to invest savings
less cautious suggestions without def
mite information. More actual knowl-
edge Of Washington's favorable position
less spreading Of hysterical hear-say
More faith In Gods love and protection
less fear Of conditions which He never
imposes.

delegation was busy getting its treaty ideas on paper.
 All this rough material will have to be pulled into shape by the con ference drafting committee which was provided for today. Dwight w. Morrow was selected as American member of this body, Commander Harold C. Train and J. Theodore Mariner are the American mem- bers of a parallel experts commit tee to which drafting problems will be submitted. These committees will work almost increasingly through the weekend.
 The scene at St. James palace this morning was one of eXtraor- dinary activity. The large hand some suite of rooms which has been assigned the conference hardly suf- feed to accommodate the various committees participating in prepar- ation of the treaty When a press conference was held. the newspaper men found themselves crowded out of their usual quarters.
 This race of the American dele gation against time has seized the imagination of conference circles and has rather taken the center of the stage.
 The present plan of the confer ence is to try to get the treaty into shape for signing at a plenary ses- sion next Thursday. The experts however, are doubtful if this is possible and if the pact is not ready for signing Thursday this probably will have to take place after Easter In this event it seemed doubtful fl the delegation could catch the big liner on the 22nd.
 As soon as the United States lines learned of Secretary Stimson's prob- lem, they offered to delay the sail ing.
 Meantime the entire American delegation is working like beavers under the slogan: "Leviathan or bust.''
 Until today the secretary had been about the only ono of the delcsa. tion who believed it humanly pos. sible to catch the Leviathan, but be stuck to his guns. Now he has the whole delegation excited at the prospect and they are beginning C think that after all he was right
