ARTISTIC GABLE ADDS
TO HOUSE ATTRACTION

After all it is detail that really
gives a home that distinctive. fin

trees and hedges all lend their help.
but if the necessary trimming de-
tails on the home itself are lack
ing, much of the beauty associa.
ton. of house and grounds is lost.
Too often the all.important gable
ends of houses are left bare and
unfinished and are out of harmony
with the surroundings. Proper
gable finals will set off the gables
in bold relief and impart a de
tailed, finished appearance, in keep
ing with the premises.
A leading manufacturer Of sheet
metal building products has de.
signed new gable block final

TORY CLUBBANS

Lord Chelmsford and curzon
son-In-LaW Are Barred
Under Rules.

LONDON, April N.-Because of
their sympathy with the Labor
government, Lord Chelmsford, Sec
rotary Of the Navy, and Oswald
Mosley, a prominent member of
Parliament, have been banned by
an exclusive Tory club.
The 1900" club was formed af-
ter a great Tory defeat in 1906.
Composed of the elite of aristo-
Gratis, all of the highest blue blood
and the most immaculate Tory
opinions, it was founded as a
place where it's members could
meet and condole with each other
Old pewter pots, filled with
strong ale, and long Church
warden" pipes were the insignia
Of its meetings. 1t has been
mark of real old Tory blue blood
in England to be elected a member.
But one of its rules states that
all members of the--club must PRO
mote and further generally the in.
terests of the Tory party. And
now Lord Chelmsford. former
Stalwart, has become a Minister in
a Labor government; Oswald
Mosley, truculent son-in-law OF
Lord Curzon, has become an open
sympathizer with Ramsey MacDon'

dren, will stop off at Cleveland on
his way home. AS for Secretary

it seems likely that he will show
up at the convention at some stage
of the proceedings. Mrs. Hoover Is
at present at her home In Cali
