Smartest wallpaper and still
somehow be lacking in that GER

Where this is the case. il is
probably because full advantage
has not been taken of the use
of accessories. As the loveliest
evening dress needs a corsage TO
complement IL, so the most per-
fectly planned interior needs
accessories to bring il to COM
pletion as you dreamed ii.
Three Groups
Accessories may be divided
into three parts: lamps, which

Skin Care

THE CONDITION of the skin
surface is important. Tiny
blackheads sometimes appear on
the back and shoulders, due TO
the friction of frocks of harsh
fabrics.
Use the long handled brush
when bathing; don't be skinny
with soap suds.
An alcohol rub will act as a
dry cleaning agent. Borated
talcum is effective for keeping
the cutaneous smooth and fine
grained.
Don't overlook the fact that
exposure 10 strong sunlight
causes the skin 10 become
coarse. That calamity can be
avoided by the free use of a
suntan oil or cream.

encompasses those small objets
dart selected solely as repre-
sentative of your own taste, be-
cause you like them, and there
fore the most individual touches
in the entire decorative scheme.
1t is only when you have no
particular preference in such &C.
cessories thatyour problem is
complicated. If you likeNOri-
entail art, let this liking govern
your choice of lamps, pictures
and such items as ash trays,
cigaret boxes, ivy containers and
figurines. 1t is good taste and
it is expressive of yourself.
The same is true of classically
designed pieces or objects with
a modern motif. If they are rep
resentative of you they belong
in your decorative plan.
Ideas
But if you have no such pref
ence? Then it is necessary TO
adopt one and become interested
in it, If your room is furnished
IN Eighteenth Century pieces,
try Chinese accessories. They
are perfect with this period.
So are such classic items as
Wedgwood and Spode ware. Or
introduce pewter as an Access
sorry idea, and carry it out with
all its symmetrical simplicity to
enhance your Colonial furnish
ings.
If you room is French, the
Chinese motif is equally good.
So, of course, lis Sevres ware or
any of the more detailed Wedg-
wood pieces. A collection of
ivory figurines, or Dresden OBJ
Jets dart, are ideally suited to
this style of design.
With Modern
And with modern, of course,
modern. Or again, the ever
suitable Oriental, either Chinese
or Persian. accessories. Don't
overlook crystal, and the ex-
quisite work being done in
metals such as brass, copper
and silver.
Much of this has a flair of
modern simplicity and beauty
about it and will highlight any
modern scheme.
Finally, remember color in ac-
cessories. Bring it in. Sharp
contrast to the main color
scheme will both dramatic the
scheme itself and add character
TO the entire room.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Feb. 20.-Col.
T. R. Bradley's colors are out of the
1941 renewal of the Kentucky Derby,
but he will be back in 1912 shooting
for his fifth Derby victory.
For the fourth time since 1920
there will be no Bradley entry when
the nominations for the SIS, 1000
added mile quarter race for
3-year-OldS are announced March 8,
and for the fifth time there will be
no Bradley starter when the field
parades to the post May 3.
The 81-year-old colonel, who has
been confined to his home at Idle
Hour Farm near Lexington all winter
because of i'll health, wrote his old
friend Col. Matt j. Winn, president
of Churchill Downs, yesterday that

In the Downs classic.
But. he added, Il want my same
old boxes, and I want to assure you
I have some fine 2-year-olds which

Col. Bradley wrote that friends
suggested he make complimentary
entry with either Bryan Station or
Best Seller, the tops of his 3-year-
oldS.
Bradley, who told Senate COM
mittee in 1884 his occupation was
"dealer in race horses and gambler"
and that he would bet on anything,
added in his letter to Col. VIM:

friends, acquaintances and strangers,

Durocher's Hopes Rise
As Van Muneo Shows
Strength on Hill
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer

HAVANA, Feb. 20.-The change
that has come over Joe Medwick in
u months is one of the most inter-
esting and significant features of the
Brooklyn Dodgers training camp.
1t is something to be pointed out

! Scared hotel in which the team is

| death" bus drivers, many of whom
still are living after years of careen-
ing through the capitals winding
! streets.
MedWick, for one Of the few times
| in his slugging career, neither IL
holding out for money nor sulking
| over his salary. Instead Of Offering
TO punch photographers as he was
doing just year ago, he is whooping
it up and grinning all over Tropical
Stadium for two hours every day
and whipping himself into condi-
| ton.
MedWick is happy and contented.
and that is going to be powerfully
! important to the Dodgers in their
drive to overcome Cincinnati in the
National League. He was a great
! hitter even when he was dissatisfied
at St Louis, and if he can come
back to thump the ball at about 300
in the cleanup spot for the Dodgers
| they will be very tough. In fact,
| the clubs chances depend primarily
on his doing just that.
Affects of Beaning Nil.
Joe says he has recovered COM
| pletely from the terrible beaning
he suffered last season, and looks
it. His eyes are clear and sharp and
he is meeting the ball squarely in
batting practice. He shows no
symptoms at the plate, even though
some of the Brooklyn pitchers al
ready are cutting loose with more
! speed than control.
To show how serious he feels
about coming back and repaying

nut and has been known 10 get in
SO holes on a day when his club
was playing a night game. He is
the only player whom Manager Leo
Durocher has asked to store his
sticks for the duration
Perhaps MedWick's example has
helped to make the Dodgers one
of the most cheerfully confident
outfits in my experience. They're
! not silently and dignifiedly cocksure
! like the Yankees were in their last
| great streak, but from Durocher on
down they'll tell you they're a good
team and explain why they should
beat the Reds.
Mungo Sees Big Year.
For instance, Van Lingle Mungo,
who virtually has been a pitching
cripple since 1887, appears TO be
back with a good arm again and is
/ talking about winning 25 games. He
is throwing hard, with a smooth
follow through that has Durocher
more than family hopeful.

Griffmen' SCAMP
CIuttered With
Fragile Ivory
Few in Present Squad
Expected to Remain;
Army Nubs HurIer
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 20-Or-
lando fairly crawled today with ball
players, real and alleged, as Clark
Grifiths 3Oth Washington ball club
opened spring training.
Off trains, buses and from private
cars, rare collection of young men
carrying black paper suitcases fill
ed up Griff'S boarding house down
the street from the headquarters
hotel, and, starting today, Manager
Bucky Harris was to undertake the
annual task of separating the wheat,
If any, from the chaft.
Early today there were only three
players in town who had reason to
expect to stick and two were catch
erS. Al Evans and Jake Early. The
third was Pitcher Walter Master
son. The rest have to make the
grade and, with the exception of 81
year-old Danny MscFayden, the
odds are heavily against them. So
far all of the players are pitchers
or catchers. The iffielders and
outfelders will not report until
March /.
Griff Peeved at Leonard.
Two of Griffiths standout pitch
ers, Dutch Leonard and Ken Chase,
still are unsigned. but Grif thinks
that Chase is ready to accept terms,
when and if he arrives today, and as
for Leonard he has adopted tech
nique No. 20. which is the stern l.
don't-care What-the-guy-doeS atti-
tude. The old gentleman doesn't
think Leonard will report.
He better not" Griff said. Il
never let a player come TO camp
without signing first" He did not
ado that he breaks this policy" at
will
Harris arrived yesterday after
noon. herding most of the assembled
squad. With the manager. who is
starting his 18th season as the clubs
manager. came 13 candidates. in
cluding Pitchers Sam Cunningham,
Dick Poydock Carlton Twyble. Joe
Cleary. Masterson, Lou Truman,
William ZinSer. Alex Zukowski, Joe
Beck. Bill Kennedy and Joe Quinn,
and Catchers Evans and Dick Hahn.
MacFayden has been on hand for
weeks and, on other trains and other
vehicles came Pitchers Hardin
Cathey, Alan White and some other
strays who, if they show anything,
will be doled out to such hungry
bystanders as John Camel, man
ager of the Orlando farm: Joe
Cambria, who will find a place for
anybody, and Calvin Griffith. who
is running the Charlotte farm team.
Brewer Lost to Army.
As usual. the first workouts will
consist of little more than running
to condition the legs. some of
Trainer Nike Martins caliSthenicS
and some light throwing.
Griffith received a mild shock
when he was informed that South
paw Forrest Brewer. one of his
brighter young prospects. must re-
port to another camp. Judge Lands
had nothing to do with the ruling,
but Uncle Sam did. Brewer, who
won IL and lost games for Char
lotte last year. will be inducted into
the Army on March 4, probably at
Camp Blanding. near Jacksonville.
Some of the pitchers have nothing
except ambition to recommend
them. Some have fancy records,
such as zukowski. a 22-game win
ner for Greenville last year.
"It ought to be a lot of fun"
Harris remarked, dryly.

starter. For this reason, I have
entered neither horse"
Bradley explained that Bryan
Station, which showed much promise
as a juvenile, hasn't been training
well and that Best Seller won't be
ready until later in the season.
Col Bradley first nominated a
horse for the Derby in 1920. The
next year his horses ran one-tWo
when Behave Yourself won and
Black Servant finished second.
Again in 1926 his Bubbling Over and
agenbaggage finished one-two.
Idle Hour had no nominations in
1928 and 1881, but returned to the
winning circle in 1882, when Burgoo
King won, and again the next year,
with Brokers Tip.
The colonel did not nominate a
horse in 1888 and his 1899 entry,
Benefactor, was withdrawn when in
jured while in training.
Last year, in Bimelech, many
thought the colonel had his fifth
Derby winner, but Bimelech failed
and the Derby was won by Gala
