Noyes—Dr. Grosvenor Speaks. calling its historic and interesting past, distinguished _speakers before the As- sociation of Oldest Inhabitants’ annual banquet at the Raleigh Hotel last night called for fair play for the Washing- tonian, “financial equity and political organiza‘ions represented there, includ- ganized city-wide groups, band together to carry forward a program with a ! united front to obtain from Congress i what the city needs in these directions, The invocation was delivered by Rt. Rev. Mgr. Edward Buckey, pastor of | St. Matthew's Church. | Theodore W. Noyes, president of l.he‘ | association, sounded the keyncte of the | eveni by declaring the occasion a | “local home folks' gathering.” He out- | lined a program for the future of Washington, which, he declared, should include national representation. The association, Mr. Noyes explained, fights for three things for Washington, “po- litical equity, financial equity and physical and spiritual health and beauty.” : Dr. Gilbert Grosven-r, president of the National Geographic Society, paint- ed & many-colored word picture of the fascinating past of this city, pra’sed its present great stride; forward and predicted that, like the biblical house founded on a r ck, “when floods came and winds beat upon a certain house | it fell not, for it was founded on a| rock. Modern Washington will bénhkm that,” declared the speaker, “God | willing.” | The rebuilding of the modern Wash- ington, Dr. Grosvenor said, resembles | the reconstruction of Paris by Na- leon III, 75 years ago. poMl]. Gen. H};rbert B. Crosby, Dis- trict Commissioner, praised the Asso- ciation of Oldest Inhabitants for its program, appreciated the support it was giving worth-while causes and pre- dicted that Washingtonians would get the vote. Heads of trade bodies and city-wide organizations also spoke. Address by Mr. Noyes. ! In his annual address Wenln§‘ the | discussion of the evening, Mr. Noyes said “Tonight's celebration of the associa- | tion’s 66th birthday is conspicuously a local home folks’ gathering. “Few here tonight need to be re- minded that the as:ociation is 66 years | old, that its membersbip is nearing the | 500 mark, that the average age of its members approximates 70, and that it | proudly claims as its most venerable | patriarchs six members over 80 years of age, headed by our venerated cen- tenarian, Ma). Baxton, with 102 years behind him “From the nature of its make-up the | association becomes the champion and defender of the Washingtonian as a man. It emphasizes the existence (sometimes doubted), the oneness and the worthiness of the fine American | community which :\M developed at the seat of Government. { “PFair play for the Washingtonian is the watchword of the Oldest lnh.hu—} ants. Financial equity and political | equity are blazoned upon its standards. | “Our association thus fights to win | for Washington (1) itical equity, (2) | financial equity, (3) physical and spiritual health and besuty. Wi ians ¢lnrgein the won- derful development of the City Beauti- ful, the inanimate city, the city of buildings, of parks, of boulevards, of monuments. “Washingtonians urge as great con- cern for the development of the animate as of the inanimate city. In the glori- fication of the City Beautiful the wel- | fare of the J;eople of the city is not to | be sacrificed. Financial equity is to| cause a just apportionment of the cost of city’s maintenance and | extraordinary material development on national lines. Political equity is to raise the Washingtonian from the polit- ical status of the convict and lunatic to that of an American sovereign, with power to participate self-protectingly | and justly in the National Government | which taxes him, makes all laws for him and sends him to war. Beauty Is City's Strength. - “Much of Washington’s strength, like that of woman, is in its beauty—its face is its fortune. Experience vindi- cates the wisdom of those who labor to increase the city's material prosperity by developing its external attractive- | ness. Its wooded parks and reserva- | tions framing memorial monuments and fountains constitute the city’s conspic- uous and characteristic charm, and | also one of its most valuable assets as & residence and show city. “Washington’s policy has ever been to preserve its prized park heritage, to rotect its existing parks, its public grntmnz places, against all injurious trespassers, whether railroads, or indi- viduals, or the stone, brick and mortar of public buildings, and to enlarge, im- prove and adorn its park areas. “The wonderful work of Capital de- velopment in public buildings, as well as in parks and reservations, has been | a glorious feature of the Coolidge and the Hoover administrations. In spite | of the depression, this good Work goes on at high speed. Indeed, the work not only adorns the Capital but gives life- saving employment to thousands of the unemployed. Thus two birds are killed with one stone. “While working enthusiastically for and glorying in today's grand develop- ment of the inanimate city, Washing- tonians urge that financial equity be done in apportioning the cost of these expensive projects; that not an unfair percentage of the cost be imposed upon the unrepresented Washingtonians, whether as national or local taxpayers, and that in exploiting the material in- animate Washington the animate city, the city of its people, be not injured or neglected. “In measuring equitably what Wash- ington's contribution in this connection should be it is to be remembered that the taxpayers of the Capital pay on both sides of the account. As national taxpayers they contributed in 1930 more than any one of 25 (more than half) of the States, and as local tax- payers they contribute all of the munic- ipal taxes, and, being unrepresented in Congress and lacking political equity, they have not a particle of representa- tive participation in the councils which determine how much and in what man- ner they shall be taxed and how the tax money shall be spent. “In this connection the financing of Although extolling the National Cap- | l as “the City Beautiful” and re-| equity.” | The suggestion was advanced that all | Praise D.

Surely this excess of expenditure on the Capital City over that necessarily expended for a similar purpose in the ordinary commercial city cannot in equity be exacted to the extent of three-fourths or more from the taxpayers of the District. “‘Wasbingtonians also appeal for financial equity in legislation by Con- gress upon pending propositions to in- crease unnecessarily old taxes and to levy new taxes in this period’ of de- pression, when all taxpayers, small and large, having suffered severe losses, are groaning under existing tax burcens. “In a message to Congress Calvin thrilling paragraph concerning the fu- ture Capital as the City Beautiful of our dreams, to be made real under the ambitious_buil-ing program on which the Nation had embarked. ‘This pro- gram,’ he said, ‘should represent the best that exists in the art and science of architecture. Into these structures * * * ought to go the aspirations of the Nation, its ideals expressed in forms of beauty’ Concerning the won- derfully attractive Capital which will result, he exclaimed, ‘Let it express the soul of America.” “In the same vein President Hoover bas said: ‘Wasbington is not only the Nation’s Capital; it is the symbel of America. By its dignity and archi- tectural inspiration we stimulate pride in our country, we encourage that ele- vation of thought and character which comes from great architecture.’ | Soul of America Cited. ‘ “A fine thought, insplringly expressed! But can Washington merely by the im- pressiveness of its architecture become the true ‘symbol of America’'? “Can the National Capital be made to external appearance? | “Not battlement, wall and moated gate constitute the state (or city), the poet says, but men ‘who know, their rights and knowing dare maintain. | “The soul of the Nation shows forth | in its men and women, not in its build- ings, parks and monuments or other evidences of accumulating wealth. “The soul of the Nation, politically, | is in the vital principles upon which | it is founded, showing forth in the con- crete in the men and women whom these principles inspire. “The soul of the representative re- | public, of the government of, by and | for the people, cannot be expressed by | a city whose people, as defective and delinquent Americans, have no share in | their representative National Govern- | ment; who in relation to the national legislature are on the same footing.as aliens, and who in relation to suing in the Federal courts ase, the United States Supreme Court says, less than aliens; whose Americanization has been ignored as negligible in our absorption in the alluring task of making the material city externally beautiful, “Since the mind, the heart, the soul of the Nation cannot be adeguately expressed merely by making wonderfully attractive the external aspect of the body of the Capital, what must be done to Washington to cause it to express truly the soul of America? Answer Is Plain. “The answer to this question is plain. The people of the Capital must be Americanized. National representation will clothe the Washingtonian with g | vital American privilege to which he is | undeniably in equity entitled; will | cleanse him of the stigma and stain of un-Americanism, and, curing his politi- cal impotency, will arm him with a cer- tain_power. “The men and women of the Capital can express truly the soul of America only when the Nation has relieved itself of the shame and injury-working para- tional“Capital territory, at the heart of control. “Our thoughts center Washington in its three phases—(1) Washington the City Beautiful, the in- animate material city, with its parks and boulevards, its buildings and monu- ments; (2) fair play for the animate Washington, for the fine constituency May every blessing bringing contentment, and happiness be with them and upon them; (3) the Americanized ‘Washing- | ton that is to be, with its people res- cued from the political status of the convict and the lunatic.” Dr. Grosvenor Extolls Capital.

Noyes.” Turning to his discussion of the Na- tional Capital, Dr. Grosvenor said, “If the father of his country could look |down from the aircraft which inces- | santly soar across our city, he would | | see how the Capital he founded is grow- | ing up. Now, after 142 years, the archi | tectural ideal conceived by that ro- | mantic Frenchman, Pierre Charles | | L'Enfant, is coming true. “Long, wide, tree-fringed avenues the rolling Potomac hills” he , “and stately palaces of mmarble and | granite rise, just as Jefferson, Wash- | ington and the French artist planned | them on paper, when they dreamed of | this Cepital that should some day be.” Describes L'Enfant Dismissal. | Dr. Grosvenor told the story of how L’Enfant was dismissed from his post | 85 “architect and chief engineer of the Federal city.” “L'Enfant had composed his grand |plan” said Dr. Grosvenor, “and was staking out the city with extreme pre- | cision, when He learned that one of | the three city commissioners was build- ing an_eleborate mansion squarely | across the route of one of his grand | avenues—on New Jersey avenue imme- diately south of the Capitol. L’'Enfant | remonstrated. Nonetheless, the com- persisted with his bullding. Then L’Enfant sent a lieutenant with a gang of men to tear down the house in the | night. In the uproar that followed, | L'Enfant was dismissea for insubordi- nation after not quite 12 months' serv- | | lce, but the house was abandoned, and | the principle that L‘Enfant’s master | “George Washington never dwelt in | the White Houss,” declared Dr. Grosve- nor. “President John Adams, its first official occupant, moved here in 1800 | from Philadelphia overland, Officials Come by Sloop. “Other officials, with the furniture | and meager archives, came by sloop, and still others tricklei in by staj coach and hired conveyances. e whole Federal force of clerks then num- bered 136. “The party escorting Mrs. Adams got lost in the woods on the way over from Baltimore. But this intelligent northern woman perceived the charm of this neighborhood, for on November 21, 1800, she wrote to her daughter: ‘It is a beautiful spot, capable of any im- provement, and the more I view it, the more I am delighted with it."” Dr. Grosvenor told the story of how the Treasury Department was lo- cated in its present position. “In An- drew Jackson's term the Treasury burned,” said the speaker; “architects dlslgteed as to where a new building should stand. The story goes that Jack- son, appealed to as umpire, stalked from the White House early one morn- ing, testily poked his cane into the ground, and arbitrarily marked the ex- act spot where the new building should rise. ‘Old Hickory’ may never have heard of the L’Enfant plan, for the site he chose violates the city plan by ob- structing the view between the White House and Capitol. A later President | 800 people at once. has suggested that. perhaps Andrew PRICE RANGES .. Jackson was feeling peeved with Con- gress that morning, as other Presidents | rave felt and purposely screened his view of it. “From L'Enfant to Hoover, usually by design and seldom by cnance, the city has grown through the years with fidelity to its original plans. Sense Perfect Art of City. “As we stand today in the dome of the Capitol and look down the verdant Mall, flanked by shining new edifices, across the splendid Memorial Bridge to Arlington, we sense its perfect art. Here is in the making an architectural triumph of the ages. Here will be the substance of all that builders ever dreamed, from Greece, Rome, Babylon and Luxor to the Taj Mahal and Ver- sailles. “As President Hoover said, this effort is ‘more than merely the making of & beautiful city. By its dignity and archi- tectural inspiration we stimulate pride in our country, we encourage the ele- vation of thought which comes from great architecture, * * * Here were fought the political battles that tested the foundations of our Government. We face similar problems in our time, and here centuries hence some other Amer- icans will face the problems of their time. For our tasks and their tasks there is need of a daily inspiration of surroundings that suggest not only the traditions of the past, but the great- ness of the future. “To an interesting degree the making of modern Washington resembles the re- construction of Paris by Napoleon III 75 years ago. He tore away miles of the old buildings to create the Paris of teday. You see the same thing going on here now, as hundreds of old houses ! are destroyed and the debris trucked away from the center of the Nation's Capital. Cites Rebuilding of Paris. “The rebuilding of Paris had such a great effect on Prance that the Institut des Beaux Arts was established, which has drawn to Paris thousands of young architects, sculptors, painters and others interested in the fine arts from all parts of the world. “Similarly, Washington is rapidly be- coming the greatest art center of America. “One Spring day in 1785 a group of tired business men called on George Washington to talk about trade. The Revolution had been won, but business was bad. These merchants asked the Government ‘to do something.’ But more than 100 years elapsed before a lnt:gnrtment of Commerce was estab- ed. “Today this department is moving to its new $17,500,000 home, one of the greatest structures ever built by man. It took 99 acres of plaster to cover its walls, It stands on 80 miles of concrete piling and its 36 elevators will carry Its corridors are 7 miles long. Seven thousand, five hun- dred men and women will assemble in it daily to work for Uncle Sam. “In it you may see everything, from live fish to rotary presses that print | coastal charts for navigators and maps of airways to guide flying men, or trade- promotion movies. “The United States Capitol will always be the wonder building of our city, as it is of the world,” said Dr. Grosvenor. ‘‘Others there are which are larger, taller, older or more ornate, though not more beautiful or impressive to the eyes of an American. There is none other wherein is exercised such tremendous power, which so completely enfolds the pages of a nation’s history, where so many great men have hallowed its halls by their presence, “Its building began in 1793, eight POOL TABLES SOLD BELOW COST Wonderful pool tables, resembling a re'suhtion table in everything but size.

Ever since its construction has P sed; it is not completed yet. “During the darkest hours of the Civil War, while its basement did service as a military bakery, Lincoln insisted that | Wi there be no suspension of the building of its dome. “District volunteers, enrolled to defend their homes and the Capital, heard re- ports of plots to burn the flour mills in Georgetown. They instantly pressed into service every vehicle to be found on the streets or in stables, loaded them with flour, and all day there proceeded along Pennsylvania avenue the most curious procession which ever traversed that street of countless parades. The flour was stored safely in the Capitol's vast cellars and Washington's home baking habits were revolutionized. Tra- dition has it that French and Vienna loaves gained their American vogue from the United States Capitol bakery. “While bakers kneaded war loaves below, hammers were busy every work- ing day on the giant dome above. “Under the rotunda is a_chamber, now bare, circled by severe Doric col- umns, and beneath the center an empty tomb. Trustees Balked Plan. “Congress requested that Washington's | remains be removed from Mount Ver- non to this sepulcher, which was to | bave been a national shrine, where all would pause in reverence as they passed. But the owners of Mount Vernon, mind- ful of Washington's wish to be buried on his estate, would not permit the removal of his body. And present and future generations are grateful that they acted as they did. “The older portion of the Capitol has a room which holds more historic asso- clations than any other chamber in America. “Here Lincoln, John Quincy Adams, Horace Greeley and Andrew Johnson served in the same Congress. Here Henry Clay welcomed Lafayette, who replied in a speech said to have been written by Clay. Here John Marshall administered the oath of office to Mad-~ ison and Monroe. “For some years religious services were held in this old hall of Representa- tives on Sunday afternoons; Lincoln at- tended them during the war period, when the hall was crowded because many churches had been converted into barracks. The room was also used at times, many years ago, by classes of Columbian College, now a part of George Washington University, when a statesman would address the students on some phase of political economy. Room Has Deep Interest. ““One other room in the Capitol, that now occupied by the United States Su- preme Court, might challenge the claim of Statuary Hall to pre-eminence in long historic association. “Of this”Supreme Court room a tale is told which ranks as one of the most charming chapters of the copious lore of the Capitol. Around the chamber are busts of the Chief Justices since the time of John Jay. “For some years it was exceedingly difficult to get any of the darker-hued employes of the Capitol to go into this room after nightfall. They shunned it as they would a cemetery. They said it was haunted. They knew it was haunted because the statues of these Jurists bowed their heads when any one entered the room after sundown! “One day an employe in the office of the clerk of the court was detained by his work until late in the evening. Entering the room where the court sits to get some papers, he was astounded 0 see the ghostly figures slowly swaying back and forth! “Investigation disclosed that a sus-| pended light outside was swung by 2 breeze, and the play of the shadows g:ove the statues the semblance of wing. | “It is probable that more pilgrims flock to our Capital anually than to any other city in the world. “But huge motor travel is nothing compared with the crowds that come by rail. Al counted, at least 5,000,000 visitors a year see the Capital. “Conventions never cease. This or that national group seems always in session. The year around one sees crowds of or women wearing badges, ca banners, = following bands, touring” which flaunt gaudy streamers telling who the pilgrims are and where they come from. “In vacation time school children by the hundreds of thcusands flock here from all over the Union, and five uni- versities now e _to Washington the Souvenir Hunters!

Modern Washington will be like that, G > od willing. In calling the roll of “officials and organized forces that fight for Wash- ington,” Mr. Noyes called first on Com- missioner Crosby and then started with the oldest organization, the Associa- tion of Oldest Inhabitants, organized in 1865. He referred to Henry L. Bryan, vice president of the organization, who was ill at home, but sent a message of greeting. For Mr. Bryan, vice president; 8. Willard Saxton and other absent ones Mr. Noyes expresised regards, sympathy in illness and hope for speedy recovery. George W. Offutt, jr., president of the Board of Trade, which was organ- . ized in 1889, paid tribute to Mr. Noyes, John Joy Edson and Dr. William Tin- dall as outstanding Washingtonians. Harry King, president of the Cham- ber of Commerce, organized in 1907, characterized visitors to Washington as “American citizens,” but Wi n- ians as only “residents” of this city. | “We cannot vote in Washington,” he sald. “Therefore, we are not citizens of éhe'.:mlm States, we are merely resi- ents.” Bicentennial Plans. Dr. George C. Havenner, president of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations and executive vice chairman of the Dis- trict of Columbia Bicentennial Com- mission predicted that the commisison’s program would probably be ready to be announced next Sunday. It will con- sist, he explained, of 12 major features and more than 20 collateral features. Dr. Havenner sald 150 organizations have voted to hold national conventions here during 1932, with an estimate of 120,000 visitors from that source. H said 300,000 are expected here for dedi- cation May 12 of the George Washing- ton Masonic National Memorial at Alexandria. “Washington will be the mecca for many millions of visitors dur- ing 1932, he predicted. Programs of the United States Bicentenpial Com- mission and the local commission, Dr. Havenner said, had been combined and would be printed together in one single program for the year. “Both commis- slons are working in complete harmony now,” he explained. E. C. Brandenberg of the Citizens’ Joint Committee on National Repre- sentation, predicted that during the lifetime of those present “we'll have the franchise here in the city.” 5 Others who spoke briefly included Mark Lansburgh, E'culdent of the Me d Manui rers’ Assoc!

Raising her child on RE’S a baby that is being brought up in the way he should go, on a plain, sensible kind of rule. His mother learned it from her own experience before he was born.“Just keep your system in good working order,” her doctor told her, “and you’ll never have anything to worry about.” So, of course, when the baby came she made up her mind to follow that same plan with him. The doctor | gave his hearty approval. “Go ahead and use Nujol,” he said. “It’s just | the thing for the baby. Harmless. Safe. Contains no drugs or medicine. It's the most natural way in the | world to keep everything normal. For Nujol not only prevents any ex- cess of the body poisons (we all have them) from forming, but also aids in their removal. | “Let 'me give you another sugges- tion, too.
