The natural advantages of the site of the National Capital were cited by Donald L. Luxford, an associate mem- ber of the Washington Real Estate Board, in his address in the home- town speaking contest held recently by the board. He said, in part: “Until we study the history of Wash- ington. I believe most of us fail to ap- reciate the wonderful heritage that ours in residing in the Nation's Cap- ital. Unlike the capitals of the old world, Washington was set aside and deliberately planned for the Capital of the Nation. George Washington him- self always referred to it as the Federal city. Taft Praised Selection. “Of fits selection, Wililam Howard Taft has sald: ‘Washington picked a site for the thousands of years we hope will be the measure of our Nation's destiny. The capital of no other na- tion approaches it in the beauty of its situation. Nowhere else does nature so admirably lend itself to the embellish- ing touch of art.’ “And Viscount Bryce, formerly am- bassador from Great Britain, said that ‘as capitals go, few, indeedp are so ad- vantageously situated in respect to natural charms as is Washington. You have such a chance offered to you here for building up a superb capital that it would be almost an act of ingratitude to providence and to the men who planted the city here if you did not use the advantages that you here en- Jog.! iz “As most of you know, the city was laid out by Maj. L'Enfant under_ the supervision of Gen. Washington. Util- izing his knowledge as a military en- gineer, he laid out a city of such mag- nificent proportions that even today it is well adapted to the needs of the Nation’s Capital. Washington is today the realization of the vision of George Colorado Ave. Facing Rock Creek Park In Upper 16th St. Section A design which was inspired by some of the Old English Houses, and adapted to the requirements of modern American Life.

Here we have a fine pub- lic school system and nine colleges and universities, from which some of our most famous men have graduated. Scientific Man Attracted. “Wi ton particularly appeals to the scientific man. Here are to be found original sources of information for research. Ambassador Bryce has said: ‘Washington is in a peculiar sense consecrated to society and to the higher charms of life; in fact, to all these things which make the delight of human intercourse.’ “We are now on the threshold of the greatest development the capital has ever known. During the last few years much has been done to carry forward to realization the dreams of Washing- ton and L'Enfant for the National Capital. Much more will be done in the 10 years to come with the expendi- ture of $300,000,000 for buildings, and boulevards and memorials, and for the preservation of the natural ‘beautles, which Washington loved.

Americans who journey to Europe to view ancient cathedrals and castles need do s0 no more if it is antique archi- tectural beauty that they really seek. On this side of the Atlantic is an archi- tecture that was great when England 5, 1930. :::d France were people with semi- vages. These are the opinions of a grou of American ! architects who h.v'e‘ returned from Uxmal, Chichen-Itza and other long-buried cities of Yu- catan, now being uncovered by arch- eologists of the Carnegie Institution. Chichen-Itza, once a city of at least 250,000 Mayans, gives evidence of the highest civilization of its period in its ?u'nlm:ent temples, palaces and other uildings, says Kenneth Clark, one of the party, writing in the American Architect. “This race of cultured Indians wrote the modernists’ story on carved lime- OPPORTUNITY! or Two Real New House Salesmen Salary and Bonus WAVERLY TAYLOR, Inc. 1522 K St. Nat'l 1040 stone and left ample knowledge of geometri naments that set a mark for the mod- ernists to shoot at,” he d of their|people created an architecture from design in or- 5'3’-'““’.“.":."’ h:&nc?up“m' -;d v,hnt"hi: rel leclares. “These | by what lies before ourre !’;e‘.l'fllfl!
