Imitation Of Love

There was nothing incompre-
hensible about the heroine Of
Fannie Hurst's splendid book,
Imitation of Life" Fate cheated
her. as fate cheats so many
career-Women, by handing her
success, hard work and money
and denying her love, a real
home and even the time to be
a real mother. All the things
that spell Life" for a woman!
The incomprehensible women
are those who cheat THEM.

owners Of so per cent Of the property,
not less than three blocks In length,
within the area Of the property con-
cerned in the petition. The plaintiff
contended this rule was unconstitu-

stating that 1t felt the rule used by
the commission was not unreasonable
The plaintiff contended also that
the action of the commission in
adopting the "A-restricted" classifica-
ton for the property which was diff
ferent from the original zoning of the
property following enactment Of the
zoning act in 1920 was illegal. The
court ruled the change in the Zoning
made by the commission was valid.

Ken1UOOd Blooms
Rival Spectacle
gTidalB Bash,
Community Bids All to
Vie,U Hundreds of
Cherry Trees.

Japanese cherry blossoms that rival
those On the Tidal Basin and Speed
way are now In bloom on the winding
roads Of Kenwood, Md, between Be-
thesda and the District line.
The community has extended gen.
eral invitation to residents and Wis
itors to Washington to take the Z
mile trip from downtown and inspect
the blossoming trees. More than 1000
trees have been planted there in the
past five years. When the subdivision
was originally projected, its sponsors
followed the Japanese tradition and
made cherry trees synonymous with
home. The soil of the community
seems particularly favorable and care
has aided their growth.
The Kenwood blossoms have been
somewhat slow in coming out this
year, and 1t Is expected they will re-
main longer than their rivals Of the
city. Sunday and the following week
will find them probably at their best.
Botanists say the fact that Kenwood
is several hundred feet higher than
the level of the Tidal Basin may ac-
count for the two or three days dif-
ference in development.
River road, one Of the best
routes to Kenwood, is at present un-
dergoing repair, but there are several
supplementary routes that are salts

nue., Bradley lane and across Wis

compact fixture, it has been discov-
cred that rooms need not be large to
make lovely and convenient bath
rooms equipped with virtually every
modern convenience and as tastefully
beautiful as the most elaborate.
Present day fixtures fit snugly into
spaces no larger than seven and a
quarter feet by four feet and eleven
inches. Even a shower can be in
stalled in such a space over the bath.
A hall-end, an unused closet, any
unused space, can be turned into an
excellent and attractive bath room, to
serve the needs of a small cottage, or
into an extra bath room in larger
house. This possession of an extra
bathroom is another new plumbing
idea that has met with very flatter-
ing reception from home makers. It
eliminates the morning bath room
traffic congestion and is especially
useful in a family with growing chill
dren. 1t adds greatly to property
values
All of a plumbing installation can
be divided into three parts: the f1x-
lures, the fixture trimmings and me-
chanical parts, and the valves and
fittings behind the walls.
The concealed part of the plumbing
systematic part behind the walls-is
a very important part. Should it fail,
the family will be subjected to great
inconvenience and considerable ex-
pense. 1t is important, therefore,
that the concealed pipes. valves. and
fittings be of good quality. There is
something that the average home
owner knows nothing about. Nor is
it necessary that he should if he
takes the precaution of dealing with
a reliable and established master
plumber. The leading manufacturers
of plumbing fixtures and piping mate
rials sell only through responsible
| plumbing contractors. because they
realize that the installation of plumb
ing fixtures demands high degree OF

technical skill. There are sanitary
requirements and codes to be COM
piled with, health interests to be
carefully guarded, and many other
things which demand expert training.

in the modern bath room will be

ing expositions ever held in this
