coveted goal. the Filipino singles
championship Of the city. /.
Silva and Carl Hess, jr., con
ceived the idea Of this tourna-

the first championship In August
Of that year, and, after skipping
q year, won twice In q row. Felix
didn't even get to be rrnner-up
until tournament had been run
seven years. Last year he fen be-
fore the slightly superior racquet

the final round.
But yesterday came the great
contamination, when, flashing the
best game Of his career, he
blasted Policarpo RuIloda out Of
his path in three straight sets, |.
e, 81, 6-3.
RuIloda had already proven
his power when less than 10
days agO he plucked the
Filipino Club singles title
from practically the same
field.
As an added satisfaction, Silva,
paired with Miss Mary e. Burke,
captured the mixed doubles title
by defeating Major Rafael L.
Garcia and Mrs. Ella NJ. Villalon,
So, So.
Silva had formidable opponents
with which to contend, for Major
Garcia Is no mans pushcver, and
A. A. Tomelden and Rulloda are
both tough.
LeCpoido Coronel, title-holder in
1877 and 1925, Is considered the
greatest Filipino player to per-
form on District courts. He once
whipped Bob ConSidine In q Pub

Basen1an Buddy Myer was today

examination. The Washington

Buddy injured his wrist dur

than q sprain, there is little
chance that Myer win crash the

BUILDING COSTS
STABILIZED

According to a recent report
from the S. w. Straus g. Co. on
building activity in the United
States during February, material
prices have remained fairly stable.
Common brick has shown the
greatest weakness, average de-
livered prices dropping from l to
S cents per 1000 under last month
and over so cents below 1929.
Many price rises in cement have
been reported, chiefly in the Mid
West. which accounts for an in
crease of s cents in average mill
prices. Steel and lumber prices
remain about the same as in
January.
A report from the American
Federation of Labor shows that
43 per cent of the union build
ing trade workers are out of
work. This figure is 80 per cent
greater than for 1929. and 10
per cent more than in 1923.
A survey of the New York city
employers and unions indicate
that unemployment amounts to
40 or so per cent Of the 10000
union membership.

HAS
LANDSCAPE
DUTIES

The duty Of the present day
architect is not complete when he
has finished designs for the In.
terror and exterior Of home. In
planning the home Of today it is
necessary that the contour of the
property on which the home Is to
be built be taken into considera-
ton and attention must be given
to the planning and location Of
walls, walks, drives, porch steps
and service yards, with all due re-
gard to the home.
Walks have two functions. The
first, Of course, is to provide clean,
all-weather footingS for all who
come to the house and to save the
lawn from destructive wear and
tear. The second function of a
walk is to beautify the approach
to the house.
q Walks Curved
Until a few years back little at
tention had been given to the deco
rative possibilities offered by the
one-time plain concrete walk. The
rapid advance now being made in
the building of concrete walks in
curved and artistic fashion Of
fers even greater possibilities for
beautifying the approach to the
home in such a way as will best
conform to the general color
scheme of the house architect.
The building of a curved walk is
exactly as simple as the work of
putting in an ordinary, straight
one, and the result is often greatly
to the benefit of the landscaping
scheme.
Practically any color can be in
corporated into a concrete walk
by the addition of properly chosen
mineral pigments to the top inch
or two of the concrete. Many
good examples of tan, red, green
and brown walks are to be found
in Washington's suburbs today
and in each instance the color
has been selected to harmonic
with the finish of the house and
with its natural surroundings.
Much the same situation main.
tains in regard to driveways. Prac-
tically every home has it's garage,
but the approach is not always
satisfactory. It may be soft and
muddy in wet weather, dusty
when it is dry and never an
asset to the good appearance of
the home and it's settings.
The Washington times., 1930-03-22
IRON IS USEFUL
ORNAMENT

Architects of buildings designed
in the modern style face one of
their greatest problems in the
selection of appropriate ornament
for those structures.
One artisan who has made con-
tributions to this field is Samuel
Yellin, master craftsman and
modern poet in wrought IRON"
whose work won him widespread
recognition through the presenta-
ton to him, in 1925, of the Phila
delphia Award.
Yellin's choice of medium is a
material that was known and
priced by the earliest civilizations
of Asia, as well as the later west
ern empires. One famous
example. of course, is the anci ent
Pillar of Delhi, the solid shaft of
wrought iron that has withstood
the ravages of time and the
elements from about 400 A. D.
In telling Of Yellin's work, diff,
ficulty is experienced in isolating
examples to describe, for all are
worthy of description. For in
stance, one Of the principal
decorative notes in the new Fec
eral Reserve Bank Building in
New York lies in the wrought
ironwork. Each piece, from the
largest grille to the smallest
hinge, serves an essentially
ultilitarian purpose.
The Washington times., 1930-03-22
GARDEN HOMES
ATTRACTIVE

Ground is expensive. But the
cost is justified by the assurance
of air and light around the
house; it gives room for drying
clothes, handling refuse, coal de-
livery, keeping car, recreation
for children and a bit of garden.
These things are part of the
processes of living carried on
within the house.
Isn't it logical. then, to relate
these things to the areas in the
house with which they are most
directly concerned? And to ar
range them in an orderly and
compact fashion as possible? Just
try it.
You will find that your home
does not stop at the house walls
but extends to your lot lines. You
will have outdoor rooms that cor
respond to the rooms in the
house.
And these rooms can be fur
niShed with rugs of grass, walls
OF living green frightened by
lovely flowers, furnishings of
more flowers, specimen plants,
fruits, playthings. utilitarian
articles, seats, arbors, garden
ornaments.
Plant material for outdoor fur
nishings is living-it must have
time to grow. Those who can
afford it can buy part If this
time in large plants.
