After a few years in the New Eng- land metropolis, Partridge won the only architectural scholarship there was then in existence in this country and was sent abroad to study. He remained in Europe for three years and then returned to Boston to re- sume his work there. Later he went to New York and was associated with the firm of Me- Kim, Mead & White, perhaps the most outstanding architectural part- nership in this country. He was one of the principle men indentified with the preparation of the original plans for the development of the Mall, the results of which are beginning to be- come apparent in the beautiful park- ¥ at the lower end of Washington. Finally he returned to the of his beginning, the Natlonal Capital, and it was to him that Mr. Marshall and Mr. Plerson turned. Picture of Model. In the photogravure section of to- day's edition of The Sunday Star ap- pears a picture of the model made by Mr. Partridge. It scarcely needs de- scription, once it is beheld; It is a true masterpiece, depicting the entire group of buildings visualized by the architects and arranged entirely ac- cording to scale. Before cven start- ing the work it was necessary for Mr. Partridge to find a special kind of wood, Soft enough to make possible his deli, There, to scale, is pictured a hand- some cathedral and the home of the crusading Knights Templar, which, in turn, adjoins the towered temple of the all mothering Blue Lodge. On the other side are arranged the home of the Order of the Eastern Star, com- posd of the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of Master Masons; the proposed auditorium and finally the handsome structure that might house the Mystic Shrine and the numerous Masonic clubs. Cavern Dining Chamber. Tt is not possible here to go into the details of how the interiors of the various structures, under the plans of the architectural committee might be arranged. Suffice to say that each would be distinctly acording to the needs and requirements of that section of the brotherhood it might house. There is one detail, howver, that deserves morc minute cescrip- tion. That is a cavern dining cham- ber beneath the front of the pluza. The custom of the different bodies to serve refreshments after the more important degrees of initiation has grown to such proportion of re- cent rs that when the itects began consulting the lodg: annually on the $100 assessed value of his bondable property Cost Is Nomina “By adding the $93.135.94 to the present bond issue, it will be neces- sary to pay the interest and provide the sinking fund to retire these bonds at the end of 20 years. By adding 35 cents to the $100 of assesable property. making $1 on the $100 for the roads in Dranesville district or L per cent on your assessed value. %is equals about one-third of 1 per cent on real value, which, I con- sider, getting one of the most im- portant assets for our district at a very nominal cost. When you take into consideration the indirect taxes you are paying for the want of these roads completed, such as extra gas and oil; broken prings; cut tires and extra time consumed, which is a consequence of inadequate roads. All of you realize the motor vehicle has come to stay and it is up to us to build roads that will carry them. There is not a question in my mind but the owner of any class of motor vehicle will pay more taxes for the want of these roads in indirect tax as above mentioned, by not having these roads completed than he will have to pay to borrow the money and finish them, and have the benefit of them at once. In other words the question is which is the be business—to pay 35 cents on the $100 and have the roads at once, or 35 conts on the $100 in indirect taxes and not have the roads? “The following reasons are just a few of the reasons why we should finish the roads; Take the schools— Wwhen they are completed, the children can get from any distance in ease and comfort; the certainty of getting any- where you want to go. In case of ill- ness the doctor can respond to a call quickly and surely; the advantage of sending produce to market that would with district roads be wasted; and the fact of the inducement to people to come here and settle and help us de- velop the community. To prove these facts, T will quote you a paragraph in a letter written by M. E. Church of Falls Church to the director general of the Lee Highway Association. ‘Since the Lee highway has been built through Falls Church real estate sales have increased one thousand per cent, and prices increased one hundred per cent”.” SHORT SKIRT CONDEMNED BY THEATER DIRECTOR Bobbed Hair Also Seen Adversely Affecting Ability of Ac- tresses in France. By the Associated Press, PARIS. October 11.—The revival of the short, narrow skirt is strongly condemned by Andre Antonie, former director of the Odeon Theater and one of the leading authorities on the theater in France. £ Speaking from the standpoint of the stage, M. Antonie said he had just been congratulating himself on the tendency of women to allow their hair to resume its normal length and with the prospect of being no longer obliged to see great heroines with bobbed heads and shaven necks, when the short skirt fashion came back. Many actresses of unquestionable merit, according to M. Antoine, re- cently have appeared to lose much of their ability because of the fact that they wore exaggerated costumes on the stage. — e PUPILS GIVE PROGRAM. Music and Fire Prevention Talks at Langley Junior High. Talks on fire prevention by 12 pu- pils and, piano selections by Kather- ine Lipper, featured the second as- sembly of the current scholastic year at Langley Junior High School Thurs- day. Others who took part in the program are Norman Pearlmutter, Henry W. Draper, principal of the school, and Katherine Miller. There are 19 sections in the school this year, with a total enrollment of 542. "On February 1 about 80 pupil. expect to graduate from the 9B class and enter the senior high schools. T Huge Noses Promised for Us. Scientists have worked out some theories that will amuse, if not startle the lay readers. One is that as the planet earth gets older the air around it will disappear, the sense of smell dying with it, with the result that humans will have enormous noses not unlike the trunk of an ele- phant. As sound and smell diminish as the air gets thinner, humans will also have great bat-like ears, these scientists say. Added to this worry, humans may look forward to a com- pletely frozen world, even at the equator—in 3,000,000 years, » ) |in to their requirements, they found nearly every ore demanding a kitchen attached to each lodge room. This, of course, would .not only be ‘mprac ticable, the architects .agreed, but also tremendously expensive and wasteful of space. Grand Banquet Room. To get around this difficulty they conceived the idea of a grand ban- quet room and cafeterfa beneath the plaza, in space that would otherwise be wasted. In order to give each lodge an opportunity of enjoving its refreshments in- private, this hall would be so arranged that each eve- ning it could be divided off into en- tirely separate dining chambers, each, however, served by a common Kitchen. It would be possible to reach these dining rooms from any building of the group through covered hallways. The existence of such an audi- torium as the one proposed in the tentative plan for Temple Heights would give Washington a structure that has long been needed. When the plan was informally discussed with prominent men and women here it was pointed out that the presence of such an auditorium might even make it possible to bring famous musical organizations here for con- certs, such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Sym- phony Orchestra. Site ' In Hixtoric. The Dean estate, which was pur- chased for the proposed Masonic Tem- ple and is now known as Temple Heights, represents an integral part the history of Washington and provides a suitable place for the struction of such a memorial now proposed. Long before it be- came one of the principal residential estates of the Capital it was a favor- ite meeting place for the Indian tribes that roamed these parts before the coming of the white man, accord- ing to tradition. Among the many beautiful trees that dot its slopes is one that is known as Council. Oak. There is an old tradition that the Indians chained a pioneer prisoner to that tree many, many years ago and held him captive for a long time. He was permitted to walk around at the length of his long chain, so the story goes, but was never given his freedom. The plans submitted by Mr. Mar- shall and Mr. Pierson so arrange the proposed group that this tree would be preserved and be in one corner of the suggested plaza. The house, too. need not be destroyed immediately, and s is to Washington Masons it already has | at least one fond tradition, for about a year ago the first Masonic initiation to be performed on Temple Heights s was completed in the old homeste BUSY WEEK FAGED BY COMMISSIONERS Zoning, Street Car and Bud- get Hearings Scheduled for Next Few Days.

They are divided into three classes—first-class brokers, who deal only with clients of high soclal standing; brokers of the second class, who handle the love affairs of the bourgeois; the third- class brokers, who deal only with the workers. One of the leading brokers, a woman with an upper class following, boasts having made 36 matches in three years, or one for every month. She says the photograph of no client has remained in her album more than a year. Many marriages she arranged turned out to be love marriages. This broker admitted that most of her clients were women with dowries, whose beauty did not equal their for- tunes. She said the most annoying feature of her work was the disposi- tion, both by men and women, to un- derstate ages. Eventually, aproperly certified birth certificate must be pro- rduced and the truth often led to the breaking off of potential matches. GETS MAXIMUM TERM FOR SLAYING EMPLOYER Ralph H.

JFOSSE NATIONS COMPLAINS OF DELAY IN MAILS “Insufficient Postage,” Reply to Presidential Candidate in Case of Voters' Petitions. Postmaster General New has been asked by Gilbert O. Nations, presi- dential nominee of the American to investigate charges that petitions necessary to secure a place for the American party ticket on the official ballot in Maryland had been unduly delayed in the mails. Mr. Nations inclosed an affidavit he said had been made by Frank B. Jordan, the party chairman in Maryland, saying that several of the petitions were in the malils for pe- riods ranging upward to three weeks, arriving too late to fill the require- ments of the election law. The affi- davit added that the contents could have been known to postal employes because of postcards that had been carried by mail urging the persons circulating the petitions to mail them to a given address in Washington by a fixed date. Post Office Department officials, iafter a preliminary investigation, de- arcd there had been no gross in- efficiency or willful malfeasance in | connection with the petitions, but that, in accordance with postal regu- lations. letters had been held up be- cause of insufficient postage, and Mr. Jordan duly notified. A formal inves- tigation will be made by instruction of the Postmaster General. OYSTER COMMENDS POLICE AND FIREMEN Praises Services Rendered by Both Departments During World Series.

In Germany the coon is called ‘waschbaer, in reference to his curi- ous fixed habit of sousing his food in water before eating it. The coon gathers much of his food In shallow water, such as frogs, crawfish, stranded fish, and probably clams. Very likely he acquired the habit of rinsing the mud and sand off his acquatic prey before he ate it. This | habit has become so fixed that a cap- tive coon will souse a piece of meat, wether the meat needs washing or not. / Esseepan, as the Chippewa Indians call him, is not a very profound win- ter sleeper. In the South he is active all winter, and in this latitude his tracks may be found on the snow in March or ea the mud along river banks and the lake shores long before the ice has melted on the lakes. The animals are naturally noctur- nal, and are seldom seen in the day- time, and this habit has undoubtedly contributed to the preservation of the species. Coons are still found over the larger part of the United States and Mexico, but they are dwellers of the forest and cannot live where there are no trees.

The fiscsl year beginning next July will be oné of marked progress in the development of the National Cap- ital, if the Commissioners are grant- ed the funds they have asked for in their estimates. The city heads are scheduled to ap- pear before the budget bureau at the Treasury Department tomorrow morning to testify in support of reg- ular estimates amounting to $31,551,- 505 and a list of urgent supplemental items aggregating slightly more than $5,000,000. This makes a gfand total sought by the District of $36,500,000.

The forthcoming hearings at the Budget Bureau also will determine the question of how much is to be | recommended to Congress for pur- chase of new park areas by the N: tional Capital Park Commission.
