find his own peculiar real estate needs.
Finance Reshaping Central Topic,
Reshaping OF real estate finance In
accordance with any action affecting
the mortgage structure that may be
taken by the present Congress is to be
central convention topic. Current de-
velopmentS of the Federal legislative
program will necessarily guide the for
mutation of this part of the program.
The associations proposal for en-
larging the present Home Loan Bank
system, advanced as the most feasible
plan for securing permanent stabiliZa-
ton OF the flow of mortgage funds, will
form the background of the discussion.
New home building methods have been
developing during the depression period,
and the construction industry has
searched for ways to lower the cost of
home ownership. New trends of most
practical value to the 1888 home builder
will be placed before the convention in
its general sessions.
The housing exhibit to be part Of a
Century of Progress Exposition will be
outlined as to its significant features.
The ideas behind the architecture of
the main buildings of the exposition
may be expected to have an effect on
the future of private construction. The
realtors will examine the engineering
ideas employed and weigh their adapta-
bility to general use.

Local Real Estate

'.The development of the park space
within the city itself Is perhaps as i'm
portant feature of the expansion of
the city and OF the general trend Of
its improvements as anything Of q
public nature that Is now going on"
says an article in the real estate sec
ton Of The Star Of May 8, 1908.
In one way the main work is CEN
tered in what might be termed the
western extension Of the Mall. This
parkway, lying right in the heart of
the city and opening up westward from
the Capitol to the Washington Monu-
ment and beyond with vistas OF foliage
and glimpses Of grassy stretches, and
also threaded with driveways, consti-
tutes one Of the unique public places
Of the sort in the country.
"Al that large section which In early
years was under water Is now known
as Potomac Park officially. but to thou
sands Of people as q delightful place
where one can get close to the water
and enjoy freshness Of the air which
passes over the Potomac, and also
watch the movements Of the water
which has always such q fascination
for the average person.
"One OF the great advantages which
this improvement Of the river front
has brought to the people of the city
is to make 1t possible for the first time
in the history Of the city to get to the
edge Of the river without going beyond
the city limits"

the room. Although differing slightly
in detail, each room is characterized
by the same architectural treatment.
At the B street entrance the main
lobby is architecturally an unusual
combination OF the Ionic and Doric
orders. The seals Of the States, Ter
ritories and insular possessions Of the
United States were used as motifs In
the decoration of the frieze of the en-
tablature. The ceiling is finished with
an interesting series of panels depict
ing conventionally the various indus
tries and arts Of the country.
An interesting feature of the build
ing from an architectural standpoint
is the treatment of the four stairways,
located at the four corners Of the build

of Alabama limestone, with railings of
aluminium and bronze. The stonework
Of the stairways Is entirely self-sup-
