Young Leo Jorboe Will Gain
National Swimming Fame,
Southeast Pals Believe

Around the Southeast Branch
Boys Club of Washington, the kids
think young Leo Jarboe some day
will be swimming in important ma
tional meets, breaking records and
winning bannerlines of publicity
They think he'll make Johnny Weis-
muller and Buster Crabb look like
a couple of broken-down side
wheelers when he reaches his prime
because right now Master Jarboe
appears the hottest, slickest thing
in water around here.
A l3year-old eighth-grade student
in Holy Comforter School, young
Jarboe recently placed fourth in the
l2-13-year-old group of the Boys
Club of America 10th annual SWIM
ming competition. The club team
finished 18th, a decided Improvement

and mail the times recorded to

cided by complicated point-scor-
ing system.
Just Misses National Mark.
Jarboe missed a new national rec
ord for the backstroke in the ma
tional telegraphic meet conducted
by the Scranton CPa) Y. NJ: C. A.

another incident in his budding and
busy career. His trophy collection
is beginning to assume man-sized
proportions and from the looks of it
he'll have sizable cache of silver

Planting Of Property
To Insure Privacy
Requires Planning
Best Features Should
Be Emphasized and
Undesirable Covered

Using to the best advantage the
good features of your property, con-
cealing as far as possible the un-
desirable features and planting for
privacy are the three primary moves
in planning for the development of
your own plot of ground.
In the accompanying sketch, the
small house is the usual distance
from the sidewalk, with highway
on both sides. The porch Cd and
the terrace (2) have been planned
on the far side of the traffic noise.
The assets are one large shade tree
90 and natural woodland at point
Cd. Liabilities are an unattrac-
tive garage beyond (6) and the
fact that people and cars are con-
stantly passing on the living room
side of the house.
A row of Lombardy poplars were
planted to blot out CO. with a group
OF Towering shrubs 90 at their feet.
The woodland comes slightly over

ing shrubs at the point where 1t
joins the lawn. Vista 3 and is
into green background and vista
8 is just glimpse to a far-distant
horizon which gives an effect Of
spaciousness.
The planting close to the house is
low evergreen with high Towering
shrubs set at intervals where the
lawn joins the sidewalk to screen
the interior of the house and porch
fron passers-by. without hemming
in the house in high wall of green.
The living room being on the street
side has only one short space of
highway viSible-and by the clever
placing of the shrubs there is no
place where a pedestrian would be
annoying unless he were to actually
stop and stare. Without in any
way being hemmed in and sur
rounded this ordinary piece Of prop
erty offers a fair share of attrac-
tive view and privacy.

On Painting Awnings

When preparing awnings for
painting, treat them first to preserve
their flexibility. White beeswax
dissolved in turpentine to the con-
sistency of soft butter is mixed in
the proportion of one-fourth pound
to one pound of zinc oxide. A
tablespoon of soft soap is added to
this mixture. Stretch the canvas
awning fiat on board and apply
the mixture with a broad knife.
Work it we'll into the material, then
scrape off the remaining substance.
The convas is now ready for the ap-
plication of two coats of paint mixed
with linseed oil.
