use of lighting effects to provide
the desired atmosphere as well as
to enhance the beauty of the set
tings was noteworthy.
Costumes, particularly those in
the flashback scene which dated
back to 1866 were charming and
the girls gowns with their hoop
skirts and ruffles were the work OF
the home economics department

lightful play with both comedy and
pathos, the Juniors version OF

mended

Imperial county club women IN
their 29th annual convention Fri
day in the Ell Centro Ten Thousand
club house, took the first step in
what is hoped will enventuate in
legislation preventing juvenile mar
riages in the border states, Ari-
zona and Nevada in particular.
This first step was passage of a
resolution which will be sent to
the state legislature, and to the
district, state and national western
federations, hoping that enough
endorsement by the latter group,
women of Arizona and Nevada will
be able to ask their legislators to
pass the needed laws.
AS the matter now stands, ju-
venile marriages in these states. if
they have met the legal require
ments of those states, must be le-
gal in California even if the juven-
lies in question have falsified their
ages.
The resolution asks that imme-
diate steps be taken to procure the
passage of legislation in the state
legislatures of the states of Ari-
zona, Nevada and California de-
claring that such marriages in vio-
lation of the statutes of such states
be invalid and void.
This resolution was presented by
Mrs. w. c. Costello, county chair
man of legislation and unanimously
adopted.
In addition to the events report
ed in Fridays issue of The Press.
and the account of Mrs. Belle
Benchley's talk, covered elsewhere

One of the things which makes a
good house obviously good, to the
eye, is the hardware. The thought
fully planned house is always "tops''
in hardware, not only in the quality
of its door handles, knobs, push
buttons, knockers and locks, but in
the design of these items as well.
A handsome piece of hardware is
not suitable for any type of house
just because it is good-looking and
we'll made. Much research has gone
into the design of hardware for
homes. and there seems little excuse
these days for not having the just
right pattern for your style of house
when so many different patterns are
available, each keyed to a definite
architectural style. Yet all too often
you see hardware which would only
be right for a Georgian house on
the front door of a Pennsylvania
farmhouse or a modern knocker in
harmoniously placed on the door of
a Southern Colonial homestead.
To help the home owner choose
his hardware wisely, a manufac-
turer of wide line of brass, iron
and chromium hardware has CLASH
fed all the line into styles meant to

glance why the classif1cations have
been made.
First, there are the right places
for hardware of one material or an
other. Polished brass, Of course. can
go with almost any architectural
style, but wrought iron belongs with
Colonial styles; half-polished iron
with Colonial, English, Mediter-
ranean and Provincial French;
hand-hammered iron with any ira
ditional architectural style, and
chromium with the modern house
In each Of these materials there
are many different patterns, sug-
gesting in themselves the sturdy
simplicity of Dutch Colonial or the
graceful delicacy of French archi-
lecture. You aren't limited to one
pattern just because your house
falls into one architectural classih-
cation. There are four patterns for

A continuing study Of the par
ticular problems of the commercial
districts of American cities will be
initiated by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards through a
new committee authorized by the
board of directors at their January
meeting, personal of which is an
nounced today by E. L. Ostendorf,
Cleveland, president of the associa-
ton
Walter S. Schmidt, Cincinnati,
past president of the association
and a member of its Executive Com
mittee under seven presidents, will
be chairman of the new committee,
which will hold dinner meeting in
Chicago May 6 to plan its program
of work. The dinner will be held
in conjunction with a group Of eX-
ecutive meetings of the association
called at the Congress Hotel, Chi
cago, May As, centering in meet
ing of the national directing board
May 6.
Local Boards TO Suggest Needs.
Among questions already before
the committee for possible review at
the May meeting are the following
which indicate the scope of its gen.
eral field of work:
l. The situation of our cities with
respect to the amount of land zoned
for commercial purposes.
A study covering 18 cities made
some years ago by Harland Bar
tholomew, st. Louis, city planning
consultant, indicated that there is
far more property zoned for business
in most American cities as can pres
emily or in the near future be used.
Often there is 10 times as much
zoned as is now expected to find fu-
ture use. Such a zoning practice
tends to depreciate the value Of
property now used for business.
2. Proper distribution and spacing
Of business centers.
Our earlier city building was based
on the idea that any street that car
ried traffic was ipso factO a busi-
ness street. But the plan of per-
mitting business to follow shoe
string development along traffic
streets has been found to be de-
structive of sound city planning. The
shoestring developments adversely
affect other property for some dis
tance on each side and tend to create
blight or arrest normal development.
Parking to Be Studied.
3. Parking facilities for business
buildings.
In the building of future business
structures there is admitted need to
adjust ourselves to the fact that
practically all American families
now have cars and use them for
shopping.
At least one great European city
now has an ordinance which pro-
vides that all building now erected
In the future must include facilities
for parking. either on the lot or
below or within the building. for
those who have occasion to do busi-
ness in the building.
Real estate boards in the associa-
tion's membership are invited to
submit suggestions as to problems
which experience of their own COM
munities has indicated as needing
early consideration.
Appointed by President Ostendorf
TO membership in the new commit
tee are men nationally known for
their work in the field of business

SO complex has all modern life,
including marriage, become that
the woman who does not conscious
ly do her share to make the new
marriage happy often loses out.
The delicate physical, mental
and emotional adjustments neces-
sary to a happy mating require the
cooperation of both man and wom-
an. Although the male is still ex-
pected to take the initiative in
these adjustments, the role of the
woman is increasingly important.
The transition from chaste girl
hood to mistress of a household is
not an easy adjustment for the in
dividual. Even the young woman
of varied experience finds the rou-
tine of married life requires more
courage and intelligence than she
expected.
Most psychologists advise wom-
en- to consider marriage not as
a jump from one type of life to
another but as an interlude in the
gradual development of the indi-
vidual into domestic maturity. This
point of view in a newly married
woman allows her to accept the
change as a progressing point in a
courtship-rather than as a seiz-
ure of her person.
