Farley to postmasters to sell tickets

Saturday night. The tickets cost 81

THE opposition must, of course,

than two weeks with more than q, 900

Keneering Is Old
Art, but Vastly
Improved Today
Beautiful Effects and
Extra Strength CiUen
NetU Processes.

Two thousand years before the
birth Of Christ an Ethiopian prince
sent Ramases II, ruler of Egypt, q
beautiful table constructed OF inlay
and intarsia. Ancient inscriptions on
vases and wall interiors show the
Egyptians veneering their furniture
with an adhesive brewed in earthen
pots.
The art of veneering furniture Is
almost as old as its history. Today it
Is among the better practices in the
building Of quality merchandise. The
construction consists Of placing as
many as i've or seven thin layers of
wood. grain against grain, cemented
together with strong CLUES and under
terrifically hot pressure. Thus ply
wood structure becomes stronger than
steel. The outer surface Of laminated
furniture is generally Of a beautifully
marked wood.
Some Of the most striking veneers
used on furniture at the present come
from the mahogany trees of the
tropical Americas or Africa. Among
these figures are the crotch, often
called the flaming bush," because Of
its resemblance to 1t; swirl, plum pud-
ding, stripe, broken stripe, rope, mottle
and blister. These figures are the re-
suit Of irregularity of grain, the cause
Of which is unknown. The unusual
figures In crotches and stumps are due
to crowding and pressure. which
causes the grain to be wrinkled and
twisted.

IF YOUR house was built in an era
when front doors were equipped
with only bells or buzzers you
1 need not envy your neighbor in
a brand-new house whose musical
chimes pleasantly announce visitors.
You can have door chimes installed for
as little as $3.50 or as much as s19.
Most of us. while We enjoy the song
of this signal which is such a popular
feature of 1886 houses, do not realize
how inexpensively we can save our
ears the harsh ring of the doorbell
or raucus buzz of the door buzzer,
even though our house dates many
years before 1886. There are musical
door chimes requiring no special wir-
ing, push buttons or arrangements
different from ordinary door signals.
that operate on any good, small bell

battery. The bell which guards your
entrance now can merely be dis
mounted, chime put in its place and
connected to the same wires with no
other change in the system.
There are two general types of
chimes-one the bar type, small,
compact, which comes inclosed in a
box finished in enamel, and the other,
the tubular type. which comes at
tached to shield that hangs on the
wall. The bar type chime is incon-
spicuous, while the tubular chime is
an artistic addition to an entrance
hall.
Either type comes equipped to do
single-signal or double-signal duty.
The single-purpose chime bitches up
to one door bell only and gives forth
two different notes in succession
each time it is set off. The double
purpose chime has the two-note har-

and other nightly "washables." Best
of all, this heater through which the
air flows evenly and quietly, during
the heating process, Is approved by
| underwriters, q guarantee of its safety.
THE well-dresed closet will wear
more than shelves and a pole
this season. All sorts Of gadgets have
sprung from the inventive minds Of
those geniuses who figure out, each
year, new ways for us to take care Of
our clothes when they are not being
worn.
We have Just thumbed through the
catalogue of q manufacturer OF closet
comforts and are convinced that there
is a specially designed gadget Tor every
closet need-for hanging hats, coaH'
dresses, shoes, ties, scarfs, trousers,
skirts. umberllas or canes ana
they are all available at q moderate
price today.
There is, for instance, the hat and
tie combination fixture. which Is
screwed to the back Of the closet
door. The upper part has nine hat
holders perched proudly on chrome OF
nickel plated bars, and beneath "
there Is o slim metal bar over whicn
to toss cravats. This whole outnt
costs s4.20 in nickel, $3.50 in chrome.
Then there Is the trouser hanger
that conforms to the ideas OF the
strictest personal valets-a steel ROD
in spiral form, which will hold -FOUR
pairs of trousers, full length, by the
cuffs, 50 they stay in press. You al
tach the top to the woodwork in one
side or the back Of the closet-it Is IL
inches wide, so 1t ought to flt any
closet. These cost only so cents In

the shoes cannot fall on when tne
rack is fastened on q swinging ooor'
is another handy item. 1t Is ADJUST
able from Is inches to 80 inches and
will hold four pairs of mems shoes OF
five pairs of women's. Cost: $l.So
in chrome, $1.10 in nickel.
For that small, dihhcult closet under
the hall stairs there Is movable pole
which can be attached to the over
head shelf. 1t is mighty difncult to
figure out way to use narrow closet
or one with q sloping side. This nils
the bill. A slight pull forward on the
metal pole brings it out into the room
so you can pick OF the garment you
want. A shove and it slides back into
its compact space. It works because
there Is q bar attached on ball-bearing
rollers to the one which is fastened
to the shelf. You can hang about 10
garments on the 12-inch size, we
should Judge, but there are six other
sizes all the way up to ~ inches, and
prices range from $1.90 to $3.50.
