"-H HE celebration of the Inauguration of
Franklin D. Roosevelt as President
4 of the United States has again con-
, centrated the attention of all Amer
-ican citizens upon the National Cap
ital. March T. 1888, saw the official
plan for the development of the central and
regional area of Washington well advanced and
the city presented in certain quarters an almost
entirely new face to the inaugural visitor.
The completion of many new projects en-
abled the observer to visualize the seat of
Government of the future, built, it will be,
in accordance with we'll considered plan.
These plans comprise a thoroughly thought
out program based upon the original concept
of the inspired young French engineer,
LEnfant. commissioned by George Washing
ton in 1871 to draw plan for Federal City.
When the Federal Government was moved
to Washington in 1900 there was on the Hill
a single wing of the Capitol, bare of the dome,
which was built during the Civil War on the
building reconstructed after the partial destruc-
ton by the British in the War Of 1912 and
added to in the sos. There was the "Presi

aged In 1914. After the reconstruction it
WAS to be painted white and In Theodore
Roosevelt's administration to be called 1.-The
White House." succeeding the more formal
term Executive Mansion" which followed the
still earlier designation on the LEnfant plan.)
There were a few other buildings ON the farms
of the 10 proprietors which formed the site of
the new city. There was an interesting settle
ment in old Georgetown. But Pennsylvania
avenue was hub deep in mud after every wet
spell, and an expanse Of hard ruts which
ground into gritty dust in dry times In Janu-
airy Of 1900, when the Federal oficials-legis-
lative. executive and judicial-moved with their
meagre belongings to the Federal City, the
place must have presented a forlorn appearance.
Gradually trees and shrubs covered the scars
Of construction and in addition to the build
ings for Government and local business there
came to be many dignifed homes set in ample
grounds. From the first there were row or
attached houses after the custom in the At
lantic seaboard cities.

grounds, the Mall and the characteristic small
parks Of the LEnfant plan, the city grew, I'M
directed and poorly supplied with public utili-
ties. After the Civil War, there was a great
influx Of colored people from the South, who
built or occupied all sorts OF tumble down
shacks in dark alleys. Finally most Of the
LEnfant city was built up and occupied,
though not just as Washington and his French
engineer would have visioned it. for the prac-
tical people of the los and 80s pretty much
forgot all about the plan
The geometrical pattern of streets suitable
for the comparatively level ground of the old
city was extended out the wooded hills
and ravines which trimmed the earlier site.
Paving, gas, street lights, telephones and all the
then latest improvements were introduced.
The State, War and Navy Building. a bad imi
tation Of the French Mansard style with its
hundreds of columns, and the castellated Post
ONCE Building on Pennsylvania avenue marked
the departure from the restraint and proper
ton of the early American type, Of which the
Court House, the Treasury and old Patent Of
flee are fine examples.
Then came the celebration of the hundred
year occupation of the Federal City as the site
of the United States Government Washing
ton, which, 10 years after its official opening,
had only 5000 inhabitants, in the next 80
years added 270 900, thus far outstripping the
most optimistic predictions of the founders and
confounding the disparaging remarks of the
European travellers who, throughout the first
half of the century, jeered at the grandiose
plans for a capital which they spoke of as a
struggling frontier town on the edge of the
wilderness.
Out of the Centennial celebration came

signers who rediscovered the LEnfant plan

The creation of the National Commission of

for protecting the development of any city.
IN the decade from 1910 to 1920 more than
! 900 new residents came to Washington.
The increase of population caused by the Great

MAPLE LEAFS BACK

Down Rangers, 3 to 2, After
Two Defeats in Five-Game
Series for Title.

"ORONTO, April 12.-Due largely
to the straight shooting and the
inspiration of their smallest
member, Ken Doraty, the Toron-
to Maple Leafs still are in the fight
to retain the Stanley Cup and the cham
pionship of the professional hockey
world
After losing the first two games Of
the final play-of series to the New
York Rangers, Doraty led the Leafs
to 3-to-2 triumph in the third con-
test and prolonged the play-of to a
fourth game, which will be played here
tomorrow. The team which first wins
three games takes the cup.
Doraty, a small slender youngster,
weighing under 100 pounds without
himself up as serious rival to Cecil
Dillon of the Rangers as the play-oH
hero when he scored two of Toronto'S
three goals.
DnLoN kept his place of honor by
- scoring his eighth goal of the
play-offs in the first period with
his favorite play, tearing down alone
when his team was short-handed. This
counter put him one over the previous
modern" record, made by Frank
Boucher in 1928 when the Rangers
fought their way to victory in the
Stanley Cup series, and only one short

for the Toronto st. Pats against Van
couver.
Despite a crippling injury to Irwin

the Leafs were hopeful of going on to
win the next two games tomorrow and
Saturday and retaining the trophy.
Bailey suffered knee injury when

But along comes year that looms
rather lean when 1t Is viewed from
