CARPENTER IS
I. COMING TO us.
FOR MORE BOUTS
(By Dispatch a. 2. Wirel

PARIS, Jan. 4.-Georges Carpen-
tier, former lght-heavyweight cham
pion of the world, sails Wednesday
for his third fistic invasion of the
United States within five years.
Carpenter announced that his prin-
eipal purpose in sailing for America
at this time is to represent Paolino,
the Spanish heavyweight in Amer
lean negotiations until Francoise Des-
camps, manager Tor both, reaches the
United States. Descamps recently res
ceived an offer from Tex Rickard, the
New York promoter for a bout be-
tween Paolino, who is known in Eu-
rope as the Tiger of the Pyrennes,
and the %Wild Bull of the Pampas, :"
Luis Angel Firpo, of Argentine. Des-
camps considered the offer satisfac-
tory but as Pauline has been assigned
to meet Soldier Jones, the Canadian
heavyweight, in Paris, February q,
he has delegated Carpenter to meet
Riclxrd and sign final articles on be-
half of the Spaniard.
The former hight : heavyweight
champion himself showed offers to
meet either Jack Dempsey or Paul
Berlenbach, the present champion of
his class, but was loath to say he was
ready to accept either offer. He al
ready has a contract made with a
Los Angeles promoter to meet the
winner of a bout between Sailor
Huffman and Jimmy Delaney and
would prefer to go through with this
fight before tackling Jack Dempsey,
the tough French Canadian, or sBer~
lenbach.
Carpenter said, however, that it
was quite unlikely he would do any
fighting in America except that he
would carry out his Los Angeles con-
tract if called upon to do so. New
ertheless he intends to go into light
training as soon as he reaches New
York
Descamps said today he expects to
leave for New York with his Tiger"
about February 10.
In boxing circles here there has
been SOME talk about the intention
of American promoters to stage a
fight between Pao1iho and Carpen~
tier. When asked about this today
Georges replied: II aim a married
man, with little four year old
daughter and / don't want to get
killed yet"

TRICK SHOTS

Joe Kirkwood is the worlds great
est golf trick shot player. In his exa
hibition matches it is uncanny the
things he does with golf ball. The
little white bill seems to obey his
every whim.
Yet, when HE plays in champion
ship gmatches, Kirkwood never re,
sorts to any of his tricks in order to
get himself out of trouble.
number of times I have seen him
in. just the position he would take
to illustrate some of his golf magic.
But on every occasion he has played
straight AWAY golf.
No doubt it is the psychology of
the -thing that guides Kirkwood in
his play. The trick shot is easy when
there is no strain, when nothing de-
pends upon it's success. or failure.
Recently I heard Kirkwood say
that the only hole in one he ever
made came as a result of one of his
trick shots. AS 1 recall it the Incl
dent took place at Cedar Rapids, Ia

cannot help but foster higher standard of

Wheeler Praises Healthful Cooperation
OF Architects and Builders Here

The following message was received
from former Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Maj. Raymond A. Wheeler,
who was chairman of the supervisory
committee in charge of The Star S
demonstration and who is now
stationed at the Army Engineering
School, at Fort Leavenworth, kans.:
I'm my capacity as Assistant
Engineer Commissioner it became one
of my duties to convene a jury OF
architects each week for the review OF
plans filed for building permits. This
review is a regular weekly occurrence,
and does not in any way affect or de-
lay the issuance of a permit. 1t has
been made possible by the generous
action of the architects in giving
their services without charge, in the
hope of obtaining a general improve
ment in Washington architecture by
dealing with each individual building
and it's effect upon the city before the
building operation began instead of
waiting until after it was finished,
and then pointing out how much bet
ter it might have been if such and
such procedure had been followed.
After each review it was custom
airy for me to transmit the COM
ments to the different owners and
builders involved. and in this way 1
came to know intimately the majority
of the architects and builders of
Washington: and it has been a source
of great satisfaction to me to see the
gradual coming together of these two
groups, whose work affects so largely
the appearance of the Capital City.
when The Evening Star project
was started I was indeed pleased with
the opportunity to act as chairman
of the committee of three which re-
presented the final coming together
Of the architects and builders in
actual cooperation toward the better
ment of the city. From start to
finish the cooperation was most
gratifying, and I have left Washing
ton with great regret that 1t was i'm
possible for me to see the projects
through to completion, but with full
confidence that they would be carried
forward to a satisfactory conclusion.
LAS 1 analyZe the results of this
demonstration, it seems to me i'm
material Just what has been accom-
plished or proven with the individual
projects. The large accomplishment
has been the coming together of the
architects and the builders, their grasp
and recognition of each others view
point and their Wholehearted CO.
operation toward the betterment of the
city. If the public will manifest in
it's own housing a fraction OF the in
terest which these two building
agencies have manifested, and in its

DOORS Determine
IMPRESSION OF HOUSE
Effect May Be to Offer Charm O,
to Create an Intangible
Disappointment.

Ihe doors of house may be the de
Gliding factor that determines whether
IL snail offer charm or an intangible
disappointment. Doors are the most
intimate detail in the whole construc
ton of the home.
The mere fact that they move
focuses attention on them. They offer
inescapable area to the critical gaze
We come into actual physical contact
with them.
A door that combines the simplicity
or the single panel with the richness
OF the nodded door has possibilities
1t has a character that lends itself to
many styles Of architecture.
1t is significant that many beauti.
ful homes today have utilized the rare
qualities of one-panel door to har-
mon1ze with their uniformly tasteful
effects.
A recently perfected model made by
we'll known manufacturers is the re
suit of efforts to produce a door new
in design, correct in proportion, ar.
tistic in appearance and moderate in
price.
The design Of this door represents
the first time that a. stock door has
been placed on the market which has
the feature Of an insert frame with a
recessed panel, together with a flush
molding In a stock thickness Of door
The results obtained could usually be
secured only in a two-and-one.Quarter
inch or thicker door.
The contours of the solid sticking
around the panel and the special, flush
| molding blend into one another and
produce an article that is not only
structurally correct but very artistic
| in it's lines.
Patented standards Of precision in
| wood manufacture have made possible
this new door. They are made in
| either hard or soft woods.

esigner of the Maryland Model Home


In the case Of the construction of
the model house at Wynnewood Park,
Maryland, there has existed an adj
mirable spirit of cooperation between
the builder ard the architect, and
the result Is most satisfactory to all
concerned.
The work has progressed method
ically through the various stages of
construction, under the guidance of
the Stambaugh Construction Co.
First the loan was removed TO be
used in future grading: the eXcava
ton was made, with trenches cut to
true lines for the concrete footings
the foundation wall was built Of inter
locking hollow tile laid in cement
mortar, waterproofed on the outside:
the frame construction of the super
structure was fitted and erected
window and door frames set. the
chimney built and exterior walls and
roof sheathed and insulated: wide
cypress clapbOards were applied to
the walls, and stained cedar shingles
to the roof: the reinforced concrete
floor of the living porch, which forms
the roof Of the garage, was placed,
the brick steps at front entrance

ing and paperhanging, floor scrap
ing, in order, the workmen in each
trade putting forth their best efforts
to make the model house faultless.
Plumbing Scientifically Correct.
The heating. plumbing and electric
wiring of the house have received
especial consideration; the house will
be comfortable in the Winter months,
and the radiators are not unneces-
sarily obtrusive; the layout of the
plumbing is scientifically correct, the
work properly installed and the bath
rooms are most attractive: the electric
wiring is in metal conduit, the light
ing fixtures we'll placed and Of dis
tinctive Colonial pattern, and con-
venience outlets are numerous.
The house has the advantage of an
unusually attractive site, and the nat
ural layout of the approaches is evil

COLONIAL TYPE HOUSE
is MORE ECONOMICAL
Aonther Advantage Is That Tt Is
Capable Of All Kinds
Of Treatment.

One advantage Of the colonial style
is its economical arrangement. In this
type the roof generally covers the
whole of the second story. This does
away with the second-story wall and
relieves the pressure on the first story
md the foundations. Such houses,
too, are capable Of all kinds~of treat
ment.
The walls may be of any material,
the roof may take any of the various
gambrel shapes, and the facade does
not require a symmetry of design.
This house has q certain quaintness
and an appearance of security. due to
it's broad.shouldered roof, that makes
it very appealing. The difficulty of
ventilating the second floor can be, and
has been, overcome.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
ADDED BY HOUSE BUYER
Partitions in Cellar, Sleeping
Porch, Tile in Bathroom and Other
Features often Desired.

The owner Of home is likely to
make certain improvements and
changes that call for expenditures.
In a house of low cost many desir-
able features are omitted and as a
rule, the family insists on adding
some of them.
1t may be decided. for example,
to put in partitions, if none have
been installed. separating the coal
bin. the fruit closet and the laundry
from the rest of the cellar. This may
cost from $50 to $3.50 Other i'm
provements often added are a Sleep

the attic runs across the entire. length
