and ends? Undoubtedly the
front and sides will be SO
joined, but look at the back of
the drawers too. Expect poor
results from the drawer whose
back is merely slipped into
grooves instead of being tightly
dovetailed like the front panel.
Tight joints mean less dust.
Dust Bottoms
And speaking of dust, be sure
that the piece you buy is
equipped with dust bottoms.
panels extending across the
frame between each drawer and
at the bottom. These should be
of plywood To insure against
warping and should be joined
or grooved into the ends and
corner posts to aid in holding
the frame rigidly in place as
well as to prevent dust from
seeping into the drawers.
The backs of chests of
drawers, like the dust bottoms.
should give support and rigidity
TO the frame. The greatest
strength is assured when backs
are doweled into the corner
posts or into the ends Backs
nailed or screwed on are indica-
tive of poor construction Nails
and screws are apt TO split wood
and are liable to loosen. which,
of course, weakenS the frame.
Since the doweled back ac-
tually strengthens it. this dis
tinction In methods of construc-
ton Is important and should
not be overlooked.
Corner Posts
Not so easily judged, but of
considerable Importance to good
construction are the corner posts
and legs. Obviously. if post and
leg are one piece. there will
never be any danger of a leg
coming off or becoming loose
and shaky or thrown out of line
when the furniture is moved.
Some legs are Joined on
separately because the particu-
lar design demands it, but these
should act as firm and per-
manent bases. Legs joined to
the posts or frame with a single
dowel are likely to prove made
quate TO the strain to which
they are put. Make certain that
those on the piece you buy are
either continuation of the
corner posts or so well joined
into them that they form a
stable case.
Examine the inside of any
piece you contemplate buying.
If the exposed parts are sanded
and finished with shellac or
varnish to prevent warping and
insect invasion; that is fair
indicator of good construction.
for it is these details which
manufacturers can easily elimi-
nate in mediocre construction.

On Furniture

BY JAMES R. PATTERSON
Supervisor Of Interior Design
~ Pratt Institute


THE LIFE of a piece of furni-
ture is dependent almost en-
tirely upon sound construction.
No matter how attractive 1t
may be to the eye, there is little
consolation IN appearance if the
construction features prove to be
faulty.
Unfortunately, these features
the factors which make furni-
ture endure when subjected to
wear and tear - are seldom
visible to the uniformed and
very often are concealed COM
pletely.
But the careful buyer can ask
the salesman questions calcu-
lated to produce telling results
and can make personal examina-
tons for such sound construction
as may be seen rapidly.
Drawer Test
Drawers may be pulled out 10
determine the ease with which
they slide. Look for the center
slide, under the middle of each
drawer, for it is this feature
which prevents sticking. Feel
along the slides and corner posts
for any roughness or splinters.
The good piece will be smooth
and straight.
Examine the bottom of the
drawer; is il substantial and
properly grooved into the sides

Construction of
Buftes Dam Looms
As Defense Need

Casa Grande Valley farmers are
a step nearer their goal in long
struggle toward construction OF an
auxiliary dam on the ella River at
the Buttes above Florence as the
direct result OF the need OF Phelps
Dodge mining corporation at Nor
enci for 10000 acre feet OF water
to serve two new mills for the
processing OF copper ore.
Senator Ernest w. Mcfarland
speaking in Phoenix. Wednesday.
told of his negotiations with min
ing company officials and farmers
OF the upper Gila and Casa Grande
valleys.
Phelps Dodge. under a tentative
plan. would construct a small stor-
age dam on the San Francisco
river. tributary OF the ella which
would impound sufficient water
for mining operations. This dam
would also retain water for use of
Upper ella valley farmers and.
since all OF the water to be i'm
pounded under such plan now be
longs to Casa Grande valley lands
the federal government would in
turn. construct the Buttes Dam al
an approximate cost OF $4,000 900
which would impound sufficient
additional water from the San Pc
dro river to more than offset the
loss OF water used by the mining
company and upper ella farmers.
The tentative plan under discussion
would contract all Buttes Dam
power revenue TO the federal gov
ernment to repay a substantial
portion OF construction costs.
