Making the Hall SerUiceabLe
: Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Want
to make your house or apart
ment larger? Want to add a
whole room, perhaps?
It can be done-and without
the fuss Of carpenters and
builders. Just consider your
hall or foyer. What are you
doing with it? What could
you do with It?
You could do the same thing
lots Of other people are doing.
Making the hall useful. Often
actually turning 1t into an
other uSable room.
Even when the hall is very
small, as it Is In so many
modern apartments, it can still
be made serviceable. Most any
hall has room for some sort
of a console group-a table
and mirror at the least.
The mirror, with its powers
Of reflection, not only makes
your hall look larger than it
really is-but it's useful for
the departing guest as he set
tes his hat or she wraps her
coat.
And the table, even If it has
but a single drawer, can be
used to pack away some odds
and ends.

state there probably will be thou

point out that only a small per-

parents in these places are reluctant
to let their children attend the tour

After offering first chance to the
STUDENTS, the high school principals
win open the sale of tickets to the
public in their respective commu-

system will prove more satisfactory
than the former method. Unsold
tickets will be returned to the ticket
manager here and placed on general
sale.
Leftover Sale March 10

the high schools will be placed on
open sale at noon, March 10. They
will be sold by mail and orders hay
ing postoffice stamp marks on the

3, will be returned and not filled.
Fans from the sixteen cities rep
resented in the title tournament
will have the best chance of obtain
ing tickets, as it is said that addi-
tional tickets will be available at
these places.
If the sale continues, as in former
years, it is probable that many
tickets will be turned over for open
