Handwork Aids
Decoration

A common assumption of
many not familiar with
furniture production is the
fallacy that handwOrk car
ried out by early crafts
men is vastly superior to
modern machine production
in furniture. 1t should be
self-evident fact that in
geniOus modern machines,
set to cut with the pre-
cisiOn of one thOusandth Of
an inch, are more accurate
than the most cunning hui
man hand.
1t is equally true that
character and life are im-
parted to furniture and
other commodities through
handwork. Therefore, in
the better furniture today,
the work is begun on ma
chimes and the vitality and
of the artistic craftsman
are added as finishing
touches. The partnership
of man and machine pro-
duces more substantial as
well as more economical
furniture.
Carving is one of the
nOblest decorations for fur
niture or interior architec-
ture ever evolved. Good
carverS, who are real art
lists at their work, are few
and far between. 1t is
highly desirable that they
expend their time to the
best advantage. This can
be done by permitting them
TO finish off the carving of
designs in furniture which
was shaped to form by ma
chinery, Poor hand carving
is inferior to good machine
carving, and the phrase
hand carved" is no assur-
ance of good workmanship,
unless the article under con-
sideratiOn shows the ability
of the worker.
holdings on inferior fur
niture are usually very
poorly Sanded, and one of
the easiest ways to deter
mine the degree of excel
lence of furniture is to run
a finger over the molding
to see if there are rough
slivery places.
There are two types Of
applied decoration - mold
ing which is nailed and
glued to furniture, and COM
pounds which are some
times used in place of cary
ing. The latter are given
a coating of stain, gold
leaf, or pigment, and when
Clipped, reveal the compo-
sitiOn beneath. Both types
are satisfactory if sold un-
der their true description,
and not as a more expensive
type Of workmanship.

American Designs
Copies Of English

The furniture of the
United States parallels in its
development the furniture of
Europe. Early American de-
signs are simplifications of
English styles, the sturdy
and other similar qualities of
which we find so desirable
today being stern necessities
in the days Of our fore
fathers.

Furniture Must
Also Have Utility

Furniture must have prac-
tical utility. 1t may possess
every decorative asset for
which the hOmemaker has
longed, but unless it serves
useful purpose it does not
belong in the usual home. A
Sideboard, for instance, must
hold table silver and linen,
and without the capacity for
this it lacks justification.
The well-furniShcd home is
not a museum.

This Prescribes
A Color Scheme

One effective scheme for
planning the colors used in
the room is to use about one
half of a foundation color;
to make about IS per cent of
the remainder a related or
complementary color, and to
make about ) per cent accent
or emphasis in strong con-
traSt.

Little Refinements
Save Much Space

Little cOnveniences that
make for comfort have been
added to the new furniture.
according to the report of
buyers from this city who
have recently returned from
inspecting the new creations
at furniture market centers.
Refinements in the way of
additional drawers and stOr-
age space, ash trays which
slide out from tables, com
partments for odds and ends,
together with smoother work
ing mechanisms for collapse
bic equipment is noted.

Seats Of Honor

The idea that the chair was
a seat of honor was still
prevalent when the Pilgrims
left England in the early
Seventeenth Century. Stools
were the usual seating furni-
ture, and in consequence
chairs are not often men
toned in the early inven-
tories Of the Massachusetts
ealonlsts.

LOS ANGELES, arch %. U.P)-
viii Rogers, cowboy screen actor
was an outstanding member OF
Laddie Sanford's Hurricane team
Sunday as it administered IL to
10 defeat to a quartet from the
Midwick Country club.
Going into an extra chukker with

in a stirring finish. Rogers and
Cyril Harrison each scored four
goals for the winners, but Elmer
Boeseke scored six for the losing
quartet.
Sanford lost another fine pony

Young Star Booked
The second bout on the card will
bring out the greatest young SEN
sation the game has developed in
two seasons - Viv Christy, 4
19-year-old Sunland, Calf, star
weighing 202 pounds, who has been
undefeated in 81 professional
starts. Critics who have seen him
in action declare he will win the
worlds title before he is 81.
Christy meets Tex Wright, a
rough, headlocking 220-pounder, a
motor cop from Ventura. Wright
is the same type of wrestler as
Clark. He has wrestled many OF
tilC III Sb-l dICAo WIN lldNC DCCll dp-
pearing on the coast during the
past year and has made impressive
showings against all of them. This
is scheduled as a 45-minute time
limit bout.
For the opening battle, the pro-
moter presents Rudy Skarda, a
20-year-old 200-pound Finn, who
rates second to Christy in all
around wrestling ability. He will
clash with Ivan Petroff, the wild
Cossack." Petroff and Skarada are
both fast, clever grapplers, al
though the former leans more to-
ward roughing than the Finn.
This card will be presented the
opening night, Friday, April l, and
three wild and slam bang battles
are anticipated.

SPOR i S
STRANGLER LEWIS TO DEFEND
HIS TITLE HERE FRIDAY NIGHT

Ell Centro is to get its first
wrestling show April /, and the
card lined up by the Imperial VAL
ley Athletic club is one that would
do justice to any mat center in
the country where the sport has
been flourishing for years.
Ed Stranger" Lewis, worlds
heavyweight champion, recognized
as such by the California commits
sion and the NB.A., and rated by
many of the leading mat experts
of the country as the greatest mat
king of all times, will appear in
the feature bout of the card that
night.
Lewis will place his title at stake
in best two out of three falls
finish battle with Jack Clark, a
rough 225-pound Kansan, who
mixes his headlocks with his right
crosses with damaging effects to
his foes.
In all the history of wrestling
there is probably no grappier who
stayed at the top of the heavy
weight division as long as Lewis,
and now, when most athletes are
supposed to be on the decline at
his age, the champion is rated as
being tougher than he has been at
any time during his long and SEN
Sational career on the mat.
Lewis has not been champion
once, but four times in the past
IL years. He has been wrestling
for more than 20 years, vet his
crushing headlocks are as effective
and as powerful now as they were
when he was supposed to have been
in his prime back in 1920, when he
won the title for the first time by
putting Joe Stecher to sleep on his
feet in bout in the old Madison
Square Garden.
Clark is the type of grappler who
is able to give Lewis plenty of op-

EGG ROLLING AT
WHITE HOUSE IS
HIT BY WEATHER
BY HENRY MISSELwITz
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March %. -
Several hundred youngsters braved
a chilly drizzle today and roamed
over the south grounds of the
White House as guests of President
and Mrs. Hoover at the traditional
Easter egg rolling.
The day broke rainy and cold.
Those who came despite the wintry
wind and snow flecked showers
were bundled up against the storm.
Low flying clouds thinned as mid
day approached, however, and the
throngs gradually increased.
The youngsters, accompanied by
their parents, wandered about the
wet south grounds, their bags of
brightly colored eggs held discon-
solately in wet, cold hands. Few
rolled their eggs during the morn
ing, most of the little guests walk
ing about or standing gazing at
the White House.
Inside some 200 luckier young
ters were welcomed personally by
Mrs. Hoover at her special party
for children of cabinet officers and
others of the capitals officialdom.
Even there, however, the party
suffered from the days gloom. The
children were taken into the east
room, where they stood with their
parents beneath the great chande-
jiers of the historic old ballroom
and waited to be presented.
Mrs. Hoover received them in
the green room. An aide introduced
each mother and child to the first
lady who, with CHEEKY word to
each and a smile, handed the chill
dren Easter eggs as they passed on.
The line then led into the state
dining room, where somber serv-
ants in livery solemnly handed each
child a cookie and a glass of
lemonade.
In the lobby, the music and
bright red uniforms of the marine
band attracted the children, who
gathered around and stared in
wide-eyed awe. A little later, one
by one, the family parties left in
the rain.
The first two numbers of an es-
pecially arranged program of
dances by various girls organiza-
tions on the south grounds were
cancelled because of the storm.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff COrresp0ndeI

NEW YORK, March %. - Jess
Willard, broke and so, plans a
comback (?) What as? Not a
fighter, certainly, for the man never
was much of one, even in his best
days. He had a build like a blimp
with the mumps, and right hand
swing that would scuttle a battle
ship if it landed, but he lacked
the fight spirit.
Jess, like Jack johnson, Delaney,
Berlenbach, Leonard and all the
other broken down machines on the
comeback trail, probably got the
idea from reading how Dempsey
was taking it in by knocking over
animated hatracks. Jess and the
rest never will learn, it seems, that
there is only one Dempsey, just as
there was but one P. T. Barnum.
Without making any investiga'
ton into the matter, Mister Berke-
ley Bells little blast against the
US.L.T.A in which he accuses that
organization of hand picking the
Davis cup squad, would seem to be
nothing more than a bowl of sour
grapes. Way down deep in that
old Texas heart of his, Bell prob
ably knows he's not of lnterna-
tional calibre. For two or three
sets Bell is all the tennis player
you would want But over the
longer route where stamina counts
as much as skill, he's not so hot.
If, as Mister Bell says, the
U.S.L.TA. has already named
Vines and Shields to play the
singles, then the U.S.L.T.A. has
named the two men who, six days
cut of the week, are the best sing
les players in the country. A
Mangin beats a Shields and a Bell
beats a Borotra once in while,
yes. But day in and day out
no. sir.
Bell, however, will continue to
remain our favorite player For
pure entertainment there is nc
player the equal of this Hack
Wilson of tennis. His sliding
volley-a shot pulled off while he's
either in mid-air or sliding along
the court on the flat of his
stomach-is still the most spectac-
ular stroke Of them all.
