be one of its sponsors in the asso-
cations nationwide "go-getter"
contest for gas refrigerator sales.

The "go-getter" campaign now
under way in hundreds of cities
throughout the country is the big
gest thing in gas history and the
largest concerted drive ever held
on any modern gas appliance.
j. u. DlngWell, Jr., assistant gen.
eral sales manager of the Wash

been appointed as a member of
the American Gas Association re-
committee. With other
members representing prominent

during the next week, the grad
ing of the streets in this Sec
tion has already begun. Forty
ninth Street has been graded
from Fordham Road south to
Upton Street; Upton Street has
been graded from Fordham Road
to Massachusetts, Avenue. and
Van Ness Street is now in pro-
cess of being graded.
These streets have been dedi-
Gated to the full 9O-foot width,
which will give a 30-foot roadway
and a 30-foot space on either side,
which will be divided, six feet into
tree space, six feet into sidewalk
space, and 18 feet into public park
ing.
The dedication of the streets to
this width not only insures the
home owner from projections be-
yond line 80 feet back of the
curb, except as the commissioners
within limited discretion may
approve, but also gives to the
home owner additional depth to
his lot upon which he is relieved
from direct taxation. It also in
sures against overcrowding, in
that there will at all times be at
least 80 feet from building line to
building line.
The same protective covenants
that prevail in Wesley Heights
and Spring Valley will obtain in
this new section, insuring the pur-
chaser not only of the high type
of personnel of his neighbors, but
of the permanent preservation of
the original conception.

OLD HOME IS SHRINE

The Longfellow home in Cam.
bridge, Mass. built in 1850, is
doubly famous as the poets home
and as the one time "headquar-
ters" of Gen. George washington.
In the early days of the Nine
teenth century, the house which
entertained Washington, Talley-
rand, Queen Victoria's father, and
Charles Dickens was used as a
rooming house for college stu
dents.
Longfellow found quarters there
while he was a young Harvard
professor. He became the owner
of the house in 1843, and it stands
today in its original state, aided
by few modern improvements
and frequent upkeep painting.

A place for everybody from baby
to granddad. That's the modern
theme adopted by the North Wash
ington Realty Company architects
in planning 1884 homes.
The best proof that the public
likes the idea is the fact that II
of these ultramodern homes have
been sold in the short space of 40
days. This particular group of
homes is located in South Wood
side Park near the Toll House
Tavern on Colesville road.
Really liveable living rooms of
huge proportion, colorful kitchens,
sunny well-planned bedrooms,
many closets and electric outlets
and other modern features have
been incorporated in each home.

HH

With the recording of the plat
Of subdivision for the first lots in
their new development, Wester.
leigh, the w. C. and A. N, Miller
Development Company announces
the beginning of an operation com,
prising 100 houses in the Wesley
Heights-Spring Valley sectio
which will be priced to suit the
popular demand.
This corporation, which began
operations in this territory in 1892
has been building detached homes
in this neighborhood since that
time, and by reason of the build
ing operations they have carried
on during that period, have raised
the assessed valuation of that ter
r1tory for land and improvements
over $7,00O,O0O. on which the
municipal revenue has been in
creased at the rate of about SILL.
600 per year since the time of
beginning.
Natural Beauty Preserved
Having practically exhausted
the opportunity for small homes
in the original Wesley Heights
section, and wishing to broaden
the scope of the Spring Valley
section which is comprised of fine
large homes, the corporation has
chosen a section of it's land to
the east of Fordham Road and
south of Massachusetts Avenue
for the erection of homes of
smaller type. Differing from the
generally accepted idea of sub
division in that the natural
beauty of the terrain has been
preserved, thus saving the forest
growth with which this Sec
tion has been so generously en-
dowed, and using the curvilinear
street pattern in place of the
rectilinear which had formerly
been employed, the corporation
has developed a type of architect
ure almost peculiar to this partic-
ular environment.
Public appreciation of their Of
ferings has been such that not
only have they received practic-
ally every biennial award of the
washington Board of Trade for
excellence in architecture and de.
velopment, but they have been
able to maintain building activity
throughout the depression. The
Silver Star Model Home recently
opened to the public on Quebec
Street in the Spring Valley sect
ion, has been generally acclaimed
a masterpiece of construction and
architectural excellence.
Home Types To Be Varied
To insure permanence of archi-
tectural merit, this new section
of small homes will be varied
in type. Fashion in homes is
somewhat similar to fashion in
dress, in that the cycle is con-
stantly changing and there is
almost always a return to the
original style. The five houses
which constitute the first step in
the Westerleigh Development are
named La Maison, the Berkshire,
the windsor, the Northvale and
the Belfast, comprising a range
in design from the French,
through the English, to the
simplest form of Colonial archi-
lecture.

construction which will begin

F ormer Realtor Died
 Yesterday Afternoon
Denis J. Griffin Prominently Known Here For Years
 Resided With Daughter in Huntsville

Denis J. Griffin, age 70 years, formerly well-known\ realtor of this city, died yesterday afternoon at the home of his daughter. Mrs Clarence A. Cowles of Plantsville after a brief illness. He had made his home with his daughter for the past four years.
 MT Griffin was a native of Ire- land and possessed the family name of Denis which traced back into several generations, the eldest son of each generation being called Denis.
 Coming to this country from County Kerry, Ireland the family took up their residence in Hart ford. In 1880, the family came to this city where his father died in 1891. His mother, the former Mary Huggard succumbed in 1910.
 MT Griffin received his early education in the parochial schools of Hartford and at the early age of ten was enrolled for five years at private school in Springfield, Mass, while residing with his aunt in that city. When a young man he was employed at the New Eng land Watch Company where he held several positions of import ance during the years of his asso- citation with the company.
 MT Griffin was perhaps one of the most prominent and capable real estate dealers of this city and developed many large tracts of land which today are outstanding in the business territories. Follow ing his resignation from the Watch Company he entered the real es- tate business for himself and was most successful in his endeavors Among the important pieces of property which were developed under his supervision was the Boughton land on South Main St on which he laid 60 lots with re- spective streets and alleys. The land which is worth more than a quarter million dollar has more

PRIEST ON LAND
 AFTER SIX YEARS
Rev Joseph Rochliff Has Been Pastor For Sailors
 All Over Seas

New York, March 9.-UP)- The Rev Joseph Edward Rockliff. stocky little Catholic priest, cele- brated his 65th birthday today and the anniversary found him on land for the first time since 1928, when he started sailing around the world at the rate of 50,000 miles a year to minister to sailors.
 Father Rockliff, who is interna- tional promoter for the Apostleship of the Sea, which he described as an International society for the spiritual and social welfare of sea- farers throughout the world" is the guest of the Rev Thomas E. Molloy, bishop of Brooklyn.
 He has sailed around the world six times and has been forced to celebrate most holidays on some ocean or other.
 Have you ever seen a sea ser- pent?" he was asked.
 "Well-yes," he replied hesitant- ly. "But I don't like to talk about it. Uusually, you know, when you tell people you've seen sea serpent, they think you've had too much whiskey. At any rate, the one I saw was about 60 feet long and looked very much like the Scottish one described in the papers. It was in Pacific, three years ago. Another man was with me and saw it also."

 Judge" Conley was the Unit" of the evening. He told several very humorous stories and sang an old Irish ditty, kitty O'Toole."
 Judge Els in opening his address told how he was admitted to the bar in 1906, and how Jimmie Lynch was then practicing law. l knew he worked hard at the Wa terbury Democrat and during his spare time studied law so that he could pass the bar examinations. A very fine gentleman is here to- night who had considerable to do with starting his career. I refer to Martin Scully. My own father was a newspaperman associated with the Norwalk Gazette.
 Jimmie Lynch has had long and honorable career in the prac- tice of law. It is a hard and highly competitive business. He has the honor and affection of every one in the city and has become a dis tinguished man." Judge Els re- ferred to MT. Lynch's son, Attor- ney J. Gregory Lynch, whom, he said, came before him at Litchfield in the milk control case. Judge ELS said Gregory believed that he, Judge Els, was radical and con- servative in his decision on the milk case, when he returned de cision against him, but that the United States Supreme Court re- gently, by a five to four decision. said Gregory was wrong and that Judge Els was right. Gregory is darn good lawyer and if were Jimmie. I'd be proud of him." Judge Els added that Attorney Walter J. Lynch, another sor, should be a pride of his father and an honor to Waterbury. He said he does not know Walter as well as Gregory but if face can be talk en as criterion then Walter should be success.
 Judge Ells said MT. Lynch is prouder of his family than "he is of his own professional attain ments. He said the office to which MT. Lynch has been appointed is q very important office and that his predecessor, Fred Williams was a pioneer who blaZed the trail. He said everyone thinks of 1t now as

ROOSEVELT WAS !
 MADE PRESIDENT
Eldest Son of the Chief Executive Heads DemO-
 cratic Club of Boston

Boston, Mar -(UP)-Election Of James Roosve.t, the presidents eldest son, as president of the newly organized Boston Democratic club, was interpreted by political observers today as indicative that the adm inistration would attempt to shape party policies in Massa- chusetts. After his election last night at secret meeting of state legislators and members of the Boston city council, Roosevelt left immediately for Washington. It was dearned, however, that young Roosevel had urged that the club stand together for party harmony and refrain at this tome from pledging itself to any candidates.
 Queried regarding his attitude should chairman Joseph A. May nard of the democratic state com mittee attempt to put through del- egates for this city, Roosevelt was quoted as replying:
 "WeIl have to go out and lick them." "I'll stand by you fellows"
 It was foreseen that the club, strongly administration, event. ually might align itself behind for mer Mayor James M. ,Curley, Jo- seph W. Bartlett or Prof Frank. L. Simpson as democratic candidate for governor in the coming cleo .tions. It also was regarded as probable that the club would en- dorse internal revenue collector Joseph P.

than 40 three-family houses and several blocks.
 An unusual business ability and a great amount of foresight was possessed by MT Griffin and his high standards of business had gained for him an enviable repu- tation among the business men of the city and state. Many of the largest transactions in the sale of land were handled through his con- cern and he was known for his skill in dealing with tenement ren- tals.
 Although not acting in an exten- sive capacity in politics, MT Grif- fin, who was a democrat, took a keen interest in city affairs. He served one term on the old city council at which time he held the position of clerk. He was known ct several times to cast a ballot in- dependent of party ties, a trait which proved the strong self char acter which he possessed. MT Grif- fin was a communicant of the Im- maculate Conception church while in this city. In 1885 he married Miss Mary A. Burns who survives him.
 Through his wide variance of business dealings he had acquired a multitude of friends and &C., auaintances all of whom held his name in a high place of esteem.
 MT Griffin is survived by his wife; three daughters, Mrs Albert E. Blewitt of this city, Mrs Clar- ence A. Cowles of Plantsville, and Mrs Frank G.
