Maro0nS Are Durable.

THE Maroons, despite their weari-
ness from long Western tour,

one more point than the third-place
Montreal Canadiens already have.

Something to Ponder.

SUucthIhb W AOHuCI'
| 4; a GAIN, does a season record for
| ~ high game or high set carry so
little worth as to be considered
merely a boost in average?
It used to be that the District
League champion and the winner of
the Campbell sweepstakes were rivals
for the No. ranking, If the tourna-
ment winner could show high
average in the all-star league, or, put
ting it the other way around, if the
league champion didn't fall down
completely in the Stakes.
These two competitions gave an
excellent gauge. The District League
presented the toughest test of a
bowler's ability in league play and
the Campbell tournament brought out
his worth as a performer under in
tense pressure. We don't recall any
bowler having triumphed in both dur
ing the same season.
The city association is taking its
cue from George ISemann, secretary
of the National Duckpin Bowling
| Congress, who some time back gave
up trying to weigh values and cut
Gordian knot with the 60-40 plan.
After all is said and done" says
ISemann, lone is likely to make fewer
mistakes this way than in making
relative values matter Of judgment"
Still Another Question.
WHETHER scores made in ma
" tional tournaments should be
considered in local rankings
was another angle viewed by the as
sociation, this being held by some to
be unfair. inasmuch as all the better
bowlers can't afford to enter some
of the national events. And there
are many who do not have the op-
portunity to compete in the big in
tercity matches that direct so much
attention to a comparative few.
However, the association gives as a
suggestion. not an order, that the
Ranking Committee follow the 6o-4o
plan. And when the committee meets
to make its selections there should be
some fancy dope singing.
The first annual Department Stores
League Sweepstakes will be held Sat-
urday at the Lucky Strike, with at
least SO expected to compete. Cash
and trophy will go to the winner, and
prizes will go to those who finish Sec
ond, third and fourth.

Lombardo probably will fill McAboy's

McCaw fighting in the 165, Johnny

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUs.

Did you ever stop to consider what
a big improvement it would make in
your house if you used some wood
paneling in one or more of the i'm
portant rooms?
It's not half as difficult as it sounds
to wood panel room, and a number
of the national lumber associations
provide complete details as to the
proper methods of doing it.
Wood has a warmth and inherent
beauty that adds a great deal to that
feeling of comfort so necessary in
living rooms. In fact, 1t isn't only
q psychological effect that is pro-
duced, but there is also the definite
advantage Of insulation against the
damp and chill of stone and clay struc-
lures. The first houses built in Eng
land and on the continent-cottages
and manor houses alike-were equip
ped with paneled walls not only for

also for the warmth and comfort as
sociated with its use
Climbs Back Into Favor.
1t was only natural that the first
houses built in America were equipped
with wood -paneled walls, as this ma
terial was abundantly available from
nearby forests, and the colonists had
long been familiar with its beauty and
decorative harmony in their former
homes. Unfortunately, the cost Of
wood paneling went up as the ready
supply of wood was diminished, and
gradually 1t went out of common usage.
During the past few years, however.
wood has steadily been regainng its
former popularity, and nearly every
new house is now featuring one or
more beautifully paneled rooms.
Your present living room will have
an altogether different air about it
if you use paneling on only one wall
around the fireplace, for instance. It
need not involve an expensive outlay,
as it is quite easily applied by COM

cutting and patching about the house
itself. The paneling can be either
the full height Of the room or it may
be merely or foot high wainscot
topped with decorative moulding.
Knotty Pine Popular.
Knotty pine is probably the most
popular for this type of work, al.
though straight-grained white pine,
California redwood and poplar are
also widely used. The prettily grained
yellow pine will break the monotony
of broad expanSes Of boarding.
You will find that there is a wide
range of designs which may be used
in applying paneling. For instance,
Dutch Colonial-made up Of soft pine
boards with rounded edges and fluted
columns-lends itself to almost every
decorative scheme. This may be va
ried by running it to only a wainscot
height allowing contrast with fabric,
paper or tinted surface above. Or,
if you favor the modern style, you will
find that wood works out beautifully
in creating smart fluted effects, hand
some ceiling cornices and outlined wall
patterns
