built.

furniture from the continent and
from England. The tapestry chairs
in the dining room were made in
London by crippled British veterans
of the World War. On the walls
hang Flemish tapestries.
The garden was designed by Rose
Greely, who has made some of the
outstanding and lovely gardens in
the country. 1t is a formal, walled
garden, with a fountain. The woods
of Rock Greek are in the distant
view and one looks down into the
garden from a terrace which is
made serene and beautiful with a
magnificent box hedge. This house
and garden composes the setting
for the garden narfv

realized, for the first time, that he

Louis asked an extension and got
it, but many were inclined to look

Henry Armstrong Definitely Set
On Making An Early Comeback

NEW YORK-(By Cephus Jones
for ANP)-The sensational news
from California that Henry Arm
strong. one time holder of three
world championship belts at the
same time, was heading east again
determined to hit fHe comeback
trail to his welterweight title, was
tempered quite a bit with the an
nouncement here that the former
champ was depending on an exer-
ciser, product of the ingenuity OF
a Harlem inventor, to help him on
his return to the ring.
Feather Feet" the dream OF
Langley A. Waller, the Harlem in
ventor, is an eXerciser made to or
der for cases such as Armstrong;.
The little buzz-saw in his last bat
tie in New York at the Garden
when Fritzie zivic lifted his welter-
weight title, showed plainly the
lack of stamina in his formerly stur-
dy legs and a tiring of muscles in
the shoulders ana arms that ham,
pered him a lot trying to carry the
fight to the fresher Pittsburgh
puncher. Walters invention, pat
ented only a few weeks ago by the
United States Patent office in
Washington, will correct Arm
strong,s condition in a short order.
once Hammering Hank pitches
camp to start training for an
eventful bout with the new world
welterweight champion, Red Coch-
rane of Elizabeth, NJ.
Waller who lives at 1921 9th
Avenue, Corona, L. l.. has already
been approached by leading manu-
facturers of athletic goods who see
i'll Feather Feet" a most revolu-
tionary idea and one sure to en-
Joy instant favor with all athletes,
as we'll as with ordinary folk who
need exercise at home, in the Of
flee. and elsewhere Henry Arm
strong started using the device
shortly after his retirement from
the ring and has said Feather
Feet" have been responsible for his
regaining of at least 80 per cent of
his old hitting power In addition,
Hanks timing has improved to such
an extent that his faithful trainer
Harry Armstrong, is sure no well
terweight in the ring today can
stand before the shuffling little
punch tossing demon from Cali
fornia via st. Louis.
Feather Feet" is made up Of
leather bracelets with pockets inte
which are inserted bars of lead. The
bracelets are made for either the
wrists or the ankles. BY adding
weights up to six pounds, the per-
son in training can build the mus
cles of the legs or arms and chest
to almost unbelievable strength and
endurance while exercising with
Feather Feet" In fact, an athlete
can build himself to any degree OF
strength and power he wishes.
