Thomas Chippsndale was one Of the
four great designers of what is termed
the Georgian Period, covering more
than a century from the early seven
tenth to tAe early eighteenth century
and beyond. His chairs are noted for
the beautiful proportions and delicate
carvings. He combined Gothic. rococo
and Chinese detail with rare skill. He
used the Gabrielle leg, ball and claw
foot, as well as the straight, square
leg, with Chinese fret work laid on or
cut through. Mahogany was his chief
wood. He never used inlay, and very
little turning. His chairs were lat
ticed or ribbon.backed. Carving was
his method OF ornamentation.

TOURISTS TO DANCE
Arrange Old Fashioned Affair With
an Old Time Fiddler to Play.

People Of San Antonio have so roy
ally entertained the tourists that they
decided to entertain themselves, partly
because they have gotten in the habit
of gathering at the Tourist House on
st. Mary's street for good time. and
partly because several enterprising
winter visitors conceived the idea of a
jolly old-fashioned dance. The idea be-
came SO popular that j. W. Bryant of
Minneapolis. one of its instigators. was
elected chairman of the entertainment
committee. and the date was set for
Wednesday evening at s o'clock.
No formalities or jazz will be per-
mitted at the dance, according to Mr..
Bryant. The affair will be strictly
informal, and the dances and music
will be old-fashioned. A regular
square dance fiddler has been procured,
and it is said that other players in the
orchestra will follow the time and the
fashion of waitZes that were danced
not so few years ago.
During the afternoon on Wednesday.
a trip will be made by an excursion
Ct tourists to the Robber l5arons
Cave. Special rates have been made
by jitney lines and by owners of the
cave, and several hundred of the visit
ors are expected to go on the "trip.
On the first bright day that greets
San Antonio. another trip will be
made to Medina Lake. The first ex-
cursiOn was so much enjoyed that
practically all the visitors are "rarin'
to 60"

its use had to be secured from the

cover the control of the states water

PERMANENT CAMPSrTEI
FOR NATIONAL GUARD
WILL BE SELECTED
Camp Mabry Too Small;
Look at Site at Cor
pus Christi.

Inspection OF camp sites proposed
for the 1924 encampment of the 3Gtl
Division, Texas National Guard. al
Palacios and Corpus Christi viii be
made this week by Col. Paul A. Wolf
officer in charge Of National Guard
affairs for the Eighth Corps Area,
Mai. Wilmot A. Danielson. q. VI. c..
and Maj. Herbert s. Clarkson..-field
artillery instructor with the Texas
National Guard.
The choice of n camp site will be
made by the corps area commander
after inspection of such sites as may
and the one chosen will probably be
made into permanent National
Guard post. Palacios, Corpus Christi
and Brownwood are locations that
have been proposed. The site at
Camp Mabrv is too small for the
training of a division and will not
be considered unless the city of Aus
tin purchases the needed additional
acreage.
In choosing the place that will be
made into p permanent post at which
TO hold summer encampments of Ma
tional Guard units, several things will
be taken into consideration. A site
on the coast is considered desirable
for some reasons. Ii would be cooler
there than at some other points in
the state and would have other at
fractions for members of the guard.
A twO-week vacation on the coast
with salary and expenses is expected
to be strong aid in recruiting for
National Guard units.
Transportation facilities, water sup
plies. sanitary conditions and general
location will also have a bearing on
the final choice. A site of 10000
or 1000 acres will be required.
The War Department has general
supervision of National Guard activi-
ties. and has set aside a certain
amount Of money to be used in CON
Quoting summer encampments and in
establishing permanent camps. No
money, however, is available for the
purchase Of camp sites. II units of
the Texas National Guard are to be
trained. the state will have to pro-
vide the site.
Tents will be provided at the camp
for the housing of the guard, and
