Lisner, the Palais Ruyal struggled to climb the grads to Eleventh and G streets, and once atop the hill, the re found itsell in pre; tentious quarters, but—in view of i competitors of the times— away of the business sec e And times change. During this week the Palais Royal celebrates with its sale half a century of steady growth, and four definite building expansions bear active t mony to the wisdom of Mr. I “foolish move” from avenue to G street. i Opened as a Branch. On October 16. 1 the Royal was opened for busin Lisner in a small store on the the present Raleigh Hotel ington branch of York store. In its early s a busipess institution of the ¢ the store somehow lost the favor the elder Lisner brother, and Abr: the new store's founder, took over the full management and responsibility of the enterprise. The Evening Star, 25 years old when the Palais Royal was opened, for many vears was a neighbor of the store, and the two concerns basked together in the favor of business success. ‘When the Palais Royal outgrew the available space for its business pur- poses, the move to its present location was essayed. A large brick building was erected expressly for its purpose, displacing several of the city's fine residences on the corner of Eleventh and G streets. Pennsylvania avenue was the busl- ness center at that time—I883—and I street shared that commercial activity, but G street was considered out of the trading zore. Consequently, Mr. Lisner's move was looked up apprehension. ashington's ness section, however, expanded to include the new Palais Royal and blocks beyond. In time the new store, regarded when completed as “the la. word” in store architepture, outgrew its building and at different periods additional floors were added to the original umit and two six-story addi- tions were erected to flank the build- ing on the east and on the north. First to Have Tube System. The store was the firsi he city to have a pneumatic tube i stalled for the transfer of ‘the counters to the offices and the first to have its own electrical power plant. The institution’s growth in its 50 years is testified to by the increase in tele- phone facilities from a_single instru- fment to,an exchange requiring threc pperators at all times. Its orizinal employe roll of 100 has bgen increased to more-than 1,000 in all departments, many of whom have been with the store for 35 years. In 1924, aiter managing the_ store alone since its founding, Mr. Lisner tired, ' selling his holdings to the resge Department Stores Corpora- tion, operators of several of the coun- try's largest merchandise stores. Al- though no longer acti vngaged in the business, Mr.. Lisner visits the Palais Royal frequently MUDDY ENTRANCE INTO Z0O SCORED Citizens Discuss Condition of Har- vard Street—Zoning Plans Are Opposed. out Palais Appearance of the Harvard street entrance to the Zoo, where the inter- rupted building operations have caused mud to ooze down the tem- porary clay terraces during rains, was scored at the meeting of the Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association Jast night in the branch library at Sixteenth and Lamont streets. Following discussion, the matter was referred to the committee on streets and alleys, of which J. W. Cox is chairman. It was pointed out that the wood retaining walls that were put up after the ZoningsCommis- sion had refused to allow the erection of an apartment house by a local realty firm were useless, Dr. Arthur A. Cheney obtained the assoclation’s consent to oppose the changing of the A residential zoning plan at the meeting to consider such @ scheme at the District Building to- morrow. It was the vote of the membership that allowing community dwellings in the A zones would be detrimental to the city. ‘The association voted to instruct i delegates to the Federation of Ci iati John De La Ma- . to approve of the plan of the | Capital Park and Planning Commission to borrow $10,- 000,000 from the Treasury to procure additional parks in the District of Columbia. The questionnaire of the Board of Education in regard to mar- ried school teachers was referred to the committee on education. A resolution of felicitations offered by Charles F. Consaul to Samuel Yowler, starter of the Washington Railway and Electrie Co. at the end of Mount Pleasant street, who has been in the employ of the company 50 years October 18, and at the end of the car line since 1904, was adopt ed. Mr. Fowler is an honorary mem- ber of the association. The extension of the bus line of the ‘Washington Railway and Electric Co. to Klingle and Ad Mill roads was approved. Edgar J. Cort and Mrs. Leon P. miller were eclected to membership. A. M. Holcombe, president, presided. Refreshments were served. o SCHOONER HUNT ENDS. Coast Guard Gives Up Search for Fishing Vessel.

Recalls Bryce Comment. “From the point of view of inter- nationalism, we refer to the oft- quoted comment of James Eryce, for- mer Ambassador to the United States from Great Britain and a man of the broadest international viewpoint. “With intimate knowledge of ti great countries of the world, he that he knows of no European caj except Constantinople, which 1 beautiful scenery in its environ: no European city has h a noble cataract as ‘the Great Falls of the Potomac, which, he points out, is a unigue scenic et as distinctive in its ways as the Bosphorous is to Constantinople, or the mountains to {{lo de Janeiro. “He points out that nature has done so much; and has offered such an op- portunity for a superb Capital, that it would be almost an act of ingratitude to Providence, to history and to the men who planrfed the city here if we do not make use of these advantages. e | \ \ | | | the present instance: ““In these. circumstances may not the city‘ of Washington feel that its mission in life is to be the emhodiment of the majesty and the statelingss of the whole Nation, representiig alil that is finest in American congeption, all that is largest and most luminous in American thought; embodying: the Nation's_ideal of what the Capital of such a Nation should be * * * the highest aspirations as to external dig- nity and beauty that a great people can form for that which is the center and national focus of their life.! “The second consideration . is thef viewpoint of the specialists. We have only to review the chaotic conditions and the haphazard misdirection which preceded the work of the MecMillan Commission to realize what speclalists, in city planning and civic development have contributed to the National Capi- tal. Cites Commission Work. “Through the McMillan Commi sion, through the Fine Arts Commis- sions and now through the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sions, the ablest men of the country’] have contributed, freely and without compensation, of their best thought and most painstaking effort. Those commissions have had the solid back- ing of their professional groups. “If we are ever to get anywhere in any kind of project such as this, we may mnot, as laymen, take.the sug- gestions which we happen to like and reject those which do mot appeal to us. It is a case of putting our full confidence in the ablest men avail- able and of following their lead; if we cannot agree and cannot follow, of getting other able men and of following theirs; but some genera! leadership must be recognized. “We know of no abler group than this one to which the planning has been entrusted, nor any group of men who have had to do with larger pr ects. Its members have international standing, not for theory but for ac- comp! ment; and it is our purpose 1s a professional organization to back them to the limit of our ability. “Here is a project so great in its conception that even those closest to arely glimpsed its possibili- inaccessi- ¢ of us take for granted intend to visit our mu- storic monuments. “But there are millions here, or yet to come, who never ha .ver will see anything el ple. To them the scenery of the Yellowstone, of Niagara, is inacces- sible. These millions, however, make pilgrimages to the Capital of their and are certainly entitled to todians and ma seenic asset with which nature has endowed it.
