asked about the financing of this
project, how the money was raised
and how the workingmen's homes
that were going up were being paid for.
They told me the program had been
financed in part by local governments
in part by private capital and in
part by the national government.
I'm England, apparently three sets
of plans had been used. The first was
for cottage type of home; the second
was the double house; and the third
was the larger separate house. But
without exception every house had its
own garden or back yard its space
for flower beds, and distinct individu-
ality in construction. Each one was
really home, and gave an impression
of contributing to the happiness and
comfort of living. The plumbing and
baths were modern"
VISITING Germany, Mrs. Jenckes

signs Of great building activity.
"At every railroad station" she said,

and was particularly impressed with
this fact while was there. BY the
first week in September, almost 49,
100000 paid admissions had been
collected at the exposition. The entire
French family was attending and
spending money. I am firmly con-
vinced that there Is prosperity in
Europe, that there is money and plenty
Of 1t, for paying war debts. II those
debts were paid there would be less
money for munitions and the purposes

now used for military purposes could
be dedicated to carrying on these
worthwhile projects of home building.
But there Is no reason, from the

By Herbert Hollander

- NCE the days of ancient Greece
~ and Egypt, and before, men
have memorialized by statues
- in public places those Of their
fellows deemed to be especially
worthy Of high and lasting honor.
In Washington, the National Capt.
tai, there are hundreds Of such
statues and memorials.
1t is significant, however, that while
the list is long, it contains many
strange omissions.
Thus, only six Of the 80 Presidents
Of the United States are commence
rated by statues; namely, James
Buchanan, James A. Garfield, U. S.
Grant, Andrew jackson, Abraham
Lincoln and George Washington A
memorial to Theodore Roosevelt is to
take the form Of large civic project
on Analostan Island in the Potomac,
and the proposed Thomas Jefferson
memorial Is the center Of a current
controversy.
It Is noteworthy that there are three
separate memorials to Abraham Lin
coin m Washington, two statues and
the great Lincoln Memorial.
The answer to the question as to
why, for example, there should be a
statue to Buchanan and Garfield and
none to Madison or Monroe or Cleve-
land is, very largely, that no group
has sufficiently interested itself in
such projects. Memorial statues
usually rise not spontaneously but
through beneficent pressure - and
there will not be q Madison statue,
for instance, until consistent interest
in 1t is manifested In one quarter or
another.
Thus, there is in Washington q
statue to Henry Wadsworth Longfel-
low. due largely to the interest and
activity of the Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow Memorial Association. But
although Edgar Allan Poe is rated by
most American and foreign critics as
the greatest Of our poets, there is no
public memorial to him in the National
Capital. Indeed, Longfellow is the
only. American man OF letters thus
commemorated in Washington, unless
one excepts Albert Pike, who is me-
morialized rather for q rounded career
as soldier, orator and journalist. But
there are no statues to such figures as
Hawthorne, Emerson, Melville, Whit
man, Mark Twain, or even Washing
ton Irving.
THERE Is q hne statue of John
Ericsson, inventor Of the ironclad
monitor and the screw propeller, but
none to an American who was tho
greatest inventor OF all time, Thomas
Alva Edison. Truly, Edison has me-
MORALS enough on every hand In the
mArvels he created, but that Is quite
beside the point.

whose figures are to b seen Ia parks
