|CIARLO AGAIN
 PROVES BETTER
 BOY THAN ELLIS
Local Lad Defeats New Britain Pride-Alexan=
 der Slugged Silly

Waterbury Tommy Ciarlo proved himself the best little man around these parts and for the second time in as many meetings, outslugged Bobby Ellis of New Britain to win decision last night before 1,50O fans at Buckingham hall, where a lively card of g bouts was staged by the Waterbury A. c. Even though he outfought and outpuncheG his more experienced, taller and left handed opponent again, some of the customers, thought Ellis should have had draw, even as they dil two weeks ago when Ciarlo got of the floor to sock Ellis into a state of partial helplessness. Tommy start ed in the only way he knows how, drive in, slug with both hands, and never stop trying. Ellis got to him in the last round as he did before, but was not able to score enough to earn an even break from Referee George Proto.
 Maybe?
 What return bout Ciarlo would make with Danny Houlihan now, as- suming the Newark Irishman comes to town in good condition for a hard fight. Ciarlo defeated a fat, lazy Houlihan in this city a month ago who was far from the Houli- han of last summer who gave Dick Turcotte three great fights.
 Turcotte, by the way punch holes in Jackie Alexander of New Britain via the TKO route in the third round.
 Jackie Moriarty, subbing for Jackie Perrin of Bristol whanged away to an even Stephen decision with Henry Davis, New Britain featherweight and ex-state bantam king. It was a slugeroo all the way with three knockdowns dotting the action. Emil Etters and Bobby Thomas of Shelton provided the laughs in bout called draw. Sam Craig of this city turned the tables on Shelton Lenny Verastro who beat him while back, by punching out a decision that was popular.
 Lou Leonard, 145, Bristol, won a decision over Charlie Schultz, 147, Shelton; Frankie Mara, 138, Water bury, decisioned Chick Harris, 137, New Britain, in 8 close fight; Bill Butkus, 160, Naugatuck, scored a technical knokout over George Barry, 167, Shelton, in the second round after Harry went down for a count of eight; and Tony Toce, 147, New Britain, won in the third round over Jimmy Sims, 145, Bris- tol, the referee stopping the bout.

CARDINALS MAY SURF PRISE WHEN
 SEASON OPENS
Second Base and Short stop Problem Faces
 Manager Blades
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor,

St. Petersburg, Fla, March H. UP).-Squarely in the middle of the St. Louis Cardinals infield there is big hole that will have to be plugged in the next month if the team is ever going to get back on the glory road.
 A second baseman and a short- stop would be welcome gifts for Manager Ray Blades. If he can de- velop them out of the army of rookie infielders working out here, the Cardinals may surprise the best of the National League. The club has power to burn.
 Blades Squinted through the sun today and said three positions were his problems.
 I'm going to have to develop a second Daseman, shortStop anI a catcher" he said. Don Padgett may be the answer for my catcher. We ought to know something about him pretty soon. If he comes along well he'll be q big help to us, for he sure can hit"
 Padgett is an outfielder who put on mask and pads last season and tried to learn how to catch. It was like learning a new trade, but he showed some progress and this year he may bloom.
 But that second base and short stop problem-about as important to ball team as a mainspriEr to a watch-ls a big question box. The leading candidates at this stage are Joe Orengo for shortstop and Jack Sturdy for second base. Orengo come up from Sacramento where he hit PIT and fielded .947 last sea- son. His base hits included IS home runs and A doubles. Sturdy is a graduate of the Cardinals farm team at Rochester where he hit .299 and fielded 984 last year.
 The rest of the team is fairly well set. Johnny Mize, the big sllgger will be on first base; Don Gut teridge, despit ehis indifferent bat ting average of .255 las. year seems certain to hold down third base Enos Slaughter, Terry Moore and Joe Medwick will make up the out field. Medwick still is unsigned and may develop into a stubborn hold out, but they all give in come time and Joe will be there when the opening game is played.
 Lon Warneke, who won l3 and lost 8 last year, and Bob Weiland who won 16 and lost T, will be the backbone of the pitching staff. Paul Dean is trying comeback after being exiled to the Texas league Curt Davis, Bill McGee and Cyde Ehoun are fairly dependable pitch-

What to Do With Space Over Mantel
By BETTY WELLS

Everybody makes a lot of fuss
over the idea of having fireplace,
but not so many of us live up to it
properly. Take the space over the
mantel, for instance. There's moth
ing in the world the matter with the
idea of slapping picture up on the
wall and adding couple of candle
sticks-but if you decide on such a
banal solution as that, the picture
should be very extra special and
worthy in its own right of such an
important position. The candle
sticks will want to be something
specially nice, too. An ordinary
picture and ordinary candlesticks ar
ranged in an ordinary way add up
to just one thing-an ordinary eff
feet. And yet there are any num-
Der of interesting things you can do
with an over-mantel space, even
though you don't have a museum
piece to hang there.
And don't 60 thinking you can
settle the matter with just any old
mirror either. Here again, a mir
ror worthy of the important space
over the mantel must be something

LAND OF "SHANCRI-LA."

old milk in leather bags until the
yellow Jumps form. 1t is pressed
into pats by hand. Its first ac-
quaintance with churn may come
with tea, for Tibetans churn their
hard-boiled tea with butter and salt
until the soupy mixture resembles
hot chocolate.
Growing its year-round service
for countless everyday uses, butter
becomes the center of attraction at
the Tibetan winter religious festi-
val which combines many features
of Christmas, New Years, and the
Fourth of July. Instead of fireworks,
there is an art show of butter sculp-
ture, staged by the lamaseries. For
four months in. advance there is a
rush on the butter market, as the
lamas famous for their talent as
molders collect materials in the cold
workrooms of their respective lama
series. The butter is mixed with
powdered pigments, to give as many
as 20 vivid colors for the sculptor
to use. In building the bas-reliefs
on his broad leather or wooden pam
el, the sculptor dips his fingers in
cold water to prevent melting the
contours of his work.
On the fifteenth day of the first
moon, according to the Tibetan lu-
mar calendar, the bas-relief panels of
tcolored butter are mounted to cover
triangular framework some 60 feet
high. Close to hundred of these
triangles, with hundreds of square
yards of bas-reliefs, may be seen
in Lhassa, the capital city, and a
smaller number in the other promi-
nent lamaseries of the country. At
night they are Illuminated with the
light of thousands of butter lamps,
and the following morning they are
usually dismantled.

A modern, streamlined govern.
ment in Siam has changed the name
of the country to Thailand. The ST.
amese have long called their coun-
try Muang Thai, "the land of the
Thai race" but the name "Siam"
or stSayam" is on record for the
country for more than a thousand
years.
Siam adopted constitutional gov
ernment June "a, 1892. With the ad-
vent of the new regime, information
al treaties were revoked and new
treaties gave Siam full jurisdictional
and fiscal autonomy.
The change from an absolute mon
archy has been attributed in part to
the infiltration of Western ideas fol-
lowing the custom of sending princes
of the blood royal and sons of prom
inent families to the United States
and other countries for their educa-
ton. The new king has been at
school in Switzerland The president
OF. the new council and commander
of the army was classmate of Gen.
eral Goering's in Germany. The
new minister of foreign affairs was
educated in France.
Hopes for Neutrality.
The latter has expressed the hope
that Slams international position
may be neutral, and an enlarged de-
fense program is in progress. Un-
der new enactment, every able-bod-
led man between Is and 30 is now
liable to serve two years with the
colors. The navy has been more
than doubled IN strength, and high
speed bombing planes were pur-
chased in the United States.
Substantial appropriations have
also enabled the government to in
crease public utilities service, in ad-
dition to private plants, and new
factories have been set up, some by
the government. These produce pa
per, cotton cloth, petroleum, sugar,
hemp, silks, vegetable oils and
drugs.
Rail transportation now covers
2,037 miles of government-owned
railroads, with reduced freight and
passenger rates. Mail service has
been extended to 481 post offices,
and there is also air-mail service.
Highways total 2,722 miles, and new
docks have been built to provide
Bangkok, the capital, with suita-
BILE port for ocean steamers which
previously anchored outside the del
Ia of the Me Nam.

Pan-American Conference
Does a Worthwhile Job

While all of these things have
been going on in Washington, the
sessions of the conference at Pam
anna City ought not be overlooked.
The representatives of our own and
our neighbor republics did a good
job in arranging for cooperative
action to keep the war away from
our shores and in Europe, where it
started. 1t always is possible for
best intentions to go haywire, but
surely there is credit due to Mr..
Roosevelt and the department of
state for the leadership exerted in
getting all of the South and Central
American folks around a single
table. If nothing more happened
than a free discussion of the poten-
tial dangers that exist, the meeting
would have been worth while. More
did happen, however, and the un-
derstandings that were reached,
stripped of high-sounding words,
mean that active governments in
the western hemisphere are going
to work and act together. Further,
the conferences can be said to have
produced a feeling that none of the
smaller republics and so-called re-
publics need fear any of the others.
In the meantime, however, it is
distressing to witness newspapers
everywhere relegating important
domestic news, facts about our
home folks and home problems, to
inside pages. One of the Washing
ton papers the other day had seven
columns of war news on it's front
pages. That seems to me to be
bringing the war here when we
don't want it.
