GARDEN TOWERS:
No doubt it must be a hard job
to decide where you want to live
today, for there are so many new
buildings offering the ultimate in
apartment living that one surely
has a difficult task to make up
his mind. In the case of this new
building at 1925 18th Street it
has a special inducement in the
way of location, because it directly
faces Meridian Park, which is one
of the loveliest parks in town. AS
you will Immediately note, on your
visit to this building, it has all
the innovations combined with
common sense and comfort and
beauty. These units were planned
to give the small family ideal liv-
ing quarters at price to fit their
budget. The fine hand Of the
builder (who, by the way, is one
of the best known in town. is seen
in the planning of the kitchens
=. plenty of work space. Magic
Chef range, which is fully inSu-
lated so there would be no discom-
fort on warm days; all the cabi.
net space one could possibly use,
and, of course. a family size refrig-
orator. All the apartments have
an unusual treatment Of the win
dows and there is enough closet
space to please any demanding
family. You will like the decora'
tive background: good taste has
been displayed and the woodwork

CHAPLIN STREET N. W.:

CHAPLIN STREET N. W.:
A building on Chaplin Street in
the Northwest section has just
recently been remodeled, and the
finished product is most pleasing.
The apartments are unusually
roomy; each one having a large
reception hall, living room, bed
room, kitchen and bath. All these
rooms are much more spacious
than the average two-room apart
ments especially the living
room, which is almost twice the
size of some of the new ones.
These apartments are rented on
the budget plan, which includes
gas and electricity in the rental
of $3.50. You will find this build
ing a splendid place to live, and
the location is very convenient
one.
EASTERN AVE. N. w.:
At the other end of town near
the District Line there is also a
new building which favorably
compares with the best. Living
here has a distinct advantage be
cause of the suburban location
where there is plenty of space and
freedom. The apartment consists
of living room, well planned and
arranged; a bedroom with plenty
of space to move around in, and
dinette of adequate space to fit
the needs of the average family
Words cannot do justice to the
skill shown in building the kitch
en-. It is built around an ingenious
idea of conserving space, yet per
hitting ample room to work in
All the new appointments will be
found in this enticing kitchen ano
it will be a pleasure instead OF q
task to prepare meals here. Rem
tai of this very attractive unit Is
only $55.

BERLIN, May % G.NS).-Ths
Catholic church took Q decisive
step today in the controversy rag
ing over alleged immortality In the
ranks of German priests and
monks which reached its peak
when Cardinal Mundelein Of Chi
cago bitterly criticized the Hitler
regime and compared the charges
to wartime "atrocity propaganda. I"
The official German news
agency announced semi-officially
that a committee consisting Of the
highest Catholic dignitaries in Ger
many had been formed for the
purpose of investigating conditions
in monaSterieS and among mem
bers of Catholic orders.
Formation of the committee ap-
parently has been sanctioned by
the Vatican, the news agency de-
clared, and is expected to set forth
it's findings in a special report to
be submitted to German cardinals
and to Pope Plus.
The bishops Of Berlin and
Muenster were named in the an
no ;ncement as members of the
committee, but the office Of the
Berlin oishou's secretary said it
ha no 0ffiC information.
Mass trials of monks and clergy.
men acc'-sed of immoral practices
have been under way in the Zani
Reich for some time. In answer
to Cardinal Mundelein's charges,
Berlin newspaper cited the pur-
ported testimony Of the Arch
bishop of Trier allegedly admitting
such offenses had been com
mitted.
The German press meanwhile
continued its onslaughts on Card
inal Mundelein for his state
ments.

thing; anything at all, except
one thing. He does not mean to
nominate Senator Robinson for
the Court seat, to be made vacant
by the retirement Of Associate
Justice Van Devanter.
Yet if the President dominates
anyone else-the well organized
Senate oligarchy gives every in
dication of either wrecking the
Presidents Supreme Court re-
organization plan-or not approy-
ing the Presidents appointee.
President Roosevelt tells news
paper inquirers that he has not
given any thought to the appoint
ment Of successor to Judge Van
Devanter: and that he does not
intend to think about it right
away; that any statements In the
press as to whom he will appoint
and when he will make the norni-
nation will be SurmiSeS only.
When he says this to reporters
he has the manner Of a man talk
ing about something Of very slight
consequence. If the matter is on
his mind he doesn't show It.
Cloak Rooms Abuzz
But up in the Senate the cloak
room are abuzz with the gossip.
One gets the impression Of a solid
wedge of Senators shoulder to
shoulder pushing Senator Robin
son right through the front doors
of the court building and onto
the bench-even before Justice
Van Devanter has left 1t. This
makes what the newspaper men
refer to as "the White House"
take on a good broad smile.
At the 1900 end Of Pennsyl.
vsnia Avenue you hear things
like this:
"YOu never saw this man
Of. ID. r. be ballyhO0ed into
making any appointment, did
your"
"AIl this fluff about Robin
son comes from Republican
sources; it is a Republican
move to put the President be-
hind the eight BAN.
"Why should the President
appoint Senator Robinson to
the position after having made
a natiOn-wi He plea for outhful
justices. The Arkansas Senator
is 6S years old"
NO PROFESSORS WANTED
While up on Capitol Hill you
hear things like this:
"JOe Robinson has stuck out
his chin and taken the rap for
the New Deal when 1t hurt.
Now he ought to be paid off
for it.
"If Roosevelt sends mp any
professors name for the Court
you watch this Sem. rOmp
over it. What they've done to
the Supreme Court Is q picnic
to the way they're getting
ready to knife any nominee but
Robinson"

The fire, fought by the Fort

The boat, which had been in use
for a number Of years as a supply
transport between the post and
the War College, mysteriously
