Among the members : of the
Washington Real Estate Board
are many hardy pioneers who
opened small brokerage and con-
struction houses in this city some
35 OF 40 years ago. Their main
assets were an indominatable
courage and a family whose sus-
tenance depended upon them.
Throughout these many years,
they have weathered the storm
of panics and ridden the crests
of the days of prosperity until
their dream has been realized and
they are still among us to bask
in the sunshine of their achieve
ment and to pave the way for
the success of their children.
Greatest Capital.
If only Gen. George Washing
ton, first president of the United
States. first in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his
countrymen could now look upon
Washington, the city that he
sponsored, the Nations capital
the city beautiful, with its popu-
lation in excess of $4,000, the
greatest Federal and municipal
center in the entire world, whose
work is carried on by $4,000 en-
ployes.
It is commonly believed that
the pursuance of the industrial
field in our city is very limited,
but this is counteracted with the
fact that we have over 500 manu-
featuring industries producing
finished d products annually,
amounting to over 500, ,OO0. 900;
six public service companies with
a total capitalization of sos, ,00O,-

5-ROOM HOUSE
EXHIBITED At
FOOD SHOW.
Small Bungalow Type Home
Furnished to Demonstrate
Value of Proper Planning

Plans for the erection Of a
modern five-room house on the
floor of the Produce Terminal,
located at Thirteenth and Water
SITS. N. W., to be exhibited during
the annual Food Show, opening
there for the week beginning April
19, were announced yesterday by
officials of the Retail Protective
Grocers Association, sponsors of
the show.
This small residence, of the
bungalow type, will be completely
furnished, decorated and electri-
fled by the w. B. Moses Com
pany and the Electric League of
Washington, respectively, and
will clearly demonstrate the home
comforts which can be attained
in a properly planned building,
even though large lots are not
available. The bungalow was
especially designed for the show
by George S. White.
In addition to the electric
home, there Is to be a complete
garden adjoining it, with color
lighting effects showing how the
beauties of a garden may be en-
joyed and actually enhanced
after sundown. In this garden,
there will be an electric fountain,
lily pond and several other feats
of landscape gardening.
Each room of the home will
contain the particular type OF
electrical equipment which best
suits it and in which there is
sure to be most interest. Ade-
ouate electrical installation is one
of the most important considers
tions for every home Of today.
and the Electric League is laying
careful plans to exhibit such In
stallation in this modern model.
In addition to these devices, the
latest electrical laundry equip
ment will be in operation in the
room set aside in the home as

Private building permits for

during the month of March
amounted to $3,083. 3.040 and are
indicative of the strong upward
trend the building industry has
been expecting. This monthly
figure is more than three times
as great as the February con-

resents a decrease from the
March 1929 total of $5,251,535.
The largest permit for the
month was issued to the West

Of the park itself.
Adjacent to Rock Creek Park
is Geological Park, containing rs
acres. housing an excellent collec'
ton of rare animals, inspected by
$500, 900 visitors annually.
I'VE are entering into the largest
Federal and municipal building
program in the history of the
Capital. One hundred and twenty
five millions dollars have already
been appropriated for this gigantic
enterprise, and who knows how
much more may be necessary ere
completion, and may we all live
to see the fulfillment Of the
dream of a nation.
"The future? What about the

But close cooperation,
That makes men win the day.
It taint the individual,
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlasting teamwork,
