SWEEPSTAKES
. FEATURE Of
PROGRAM

Takoma Park Is slowly but
surely advancing in the bowling
world locally. Six new alleys are
the latest acquisition to the Ia
koma Alleys which are to Off
cially open Saturday night with
q Halloween sweepstakes.
Fourteen drives will be in
operation by that time, enabling
bowlers to roll upstairs and down.
The sweepstakes will be in cele-
bration of the new alleys and
will be open to all.
A special match Is also on the
program for Saturday. The Ia
kofna All Stars will entertain
the Burt He'll All Stars, a team
from the Boulevard alleys in
Bethesda, in a return match. The
Takorna team is composed of
Gorden Bonnette, Dutch Sher-
balm, Fred Heine, Earl Heffner,
Harry Blathen and Buck McDon.
aid. Heil's stars won the first
block last Saturday by a 21-pin
margin.
e. w. Carl, by the way, Is
manager of the TakOma
alleys. He is q hard.wOrking
individual, out to put TakOma
on the map i'm b bowling
way. Thus, all these special
sweepstakes and matches.
Friday night he has arranged
a special match between two
men 10 years of age. Mr.. George,
of Hyattsville, will roll Mr.. Allen,
Of Bethesda, in this event.
The Takoma alleys are clus-
tered nightly with league games,
two in particular which produce
interesting competition. They
are the Takoma Park League and
the Sunday School League.
Ten teams are in the first
named circuit, with six in the
Sunday School League.
Fruit Growers Express and Old
Colony Laundry are tied for first
place in the Takona Park
League with IA games won and
four lost each.
Bank Of BrightwOod and
MilIer.Lacey are tied for Sec
Ond place with 13 wins
against five losses, each:
White Park Inn Lunch is In
third place and Park Phar-
: macy, TakOma Paint and
Hardware, TakOma Journal.
YoungblOOd's and Southern
Building and Supply follow
ing in order.
Trinity Church is way out in
front in the Sunday School
League with Baptist in second
place, Christian in third place
and Presbyterian Brotherhood in
fourth place, followed by Pres
byterian No. / and Presbyterian
Seniors, who bring up the rear.
The Takoma Park League bowl
ers have access to the alleys every
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day nights while the church
league teams hold forth on Mon
days.
C. w. Carl is very enthusiastic
about the bowling situation In
Takoma Park. And with the
opening Of the six new alleys he
feels the little town will begin o
boom which will not end until
the last official ball is rolled next
April.

GOLDEN GOLF

heard from the Catalina Islands.

METAL BUILDING

Work on the first all.metal

to be erected in Chicago will
start october / and according
to. the July issue Of the Architec.
tural Record it will embody the
newest ideas in modern architec.
tural research. The exterior walls
will consist entirely of Allegheny
ruStless metal and glass and will
be backed by three-inch slabs
of rock wool. The design of this
building achieves maximum usable

ing: its improved Notwithstanding
qualities make it equivalent in
this respect to a 36-inch brick
wall and permit a system Of
heating by electricity at an eco
nomical cost.
Heat losses are further mini
mized by making all the windows
double, an important feature in
walls with the very considerable
glass area proposed for this
building. The reduced weight of
this type of wall permits a
lighter and less costly structural
frame; battledeck floors permit
the addition of one or more stories
than is usually possible within
the height limit of the Chicago
zoning ordinance: these are ele-
ments of construction cost re-
duction that permit larger out
lays for interior conYenienceS.
It is stated that these new-type
walls and floors will make the
building soundproof against hail
stones, heavy walking and other
noises.
