TAYLOR Pittsburg Headlight Sun PITTSBURG, Kas. (AP) Remember how they say the first guy never has a chance? Well, B. H. Vanderpool of Pittsburg has emphasized that very point while just fiddling around. A carpenter by trade with a successful knack for experimenting and a fiddler by hobby his daughter plays the classical stuff but he goes in for the hoe down -Vanderpool also makes violins.

While she owns a rare violin she plays, the daughter, Mrs. Betty Vanderpool Hough, wife of a dental specialist, gained no little area note as a violinist using one of the regular-sized violins her father made. A newspaper picture showing the "world's smallest violin" was a challenge Vanderpool couldn't resist. He decided to make a smaller one. And he did.

But it took a year of his spare time, teeth-straiglening wire from his son-in-law's office and the tip of a bone knitting needle belonging to Mrs. Vanderpool's grandmother. The built-to-scale model of the violin measures one and one-fifth inches overall. It is a complete reproduction, in miniature, of a regular violin. The body of the violin is made of maple and spruce.

The fingerboard is of ebony but made from just a shaving. In the making, Lyndon; and Morrill, Melvern; and four sisters, Mrs. Carrie Woodruff, Vassar; Mrs. Goldie Ilillman, Lyndon; Mrs. Sylvia ard, Aux Vasse, and Miss Fern Brecheisen, Eugene, Ore.

The holes presented a problem, but not for long.

Vanderpool "cut teeth" needle and sawed out the 'holes. Then with a dentist in the family, the "strings" caused no concern. Wire used as teeth straightening equipment solved that situation. Like finer instruments, Vanderpool's miniature has an inlay. He made an inlay-purfling they say in the profession--from shavings of ebony and maple.

By now, having beaten the "world champion" by onefourth of an inch, Vanderpool couldn't stop without fashioning a -also in detail. A lone horse hair provided the hair for the bow, which is complete with actual pearl inlay. In doing virtually all of the work, Vanderpool had to wear magnifying glasses. It might seem such a tedious job would be hard on the nerves. Vanderpool says he found it relaxing after working on much larger carpentry tasks during the day.
