Boston, April 26.--(P)-The ANA
teur Athletic Union of America will
investigate the status of Charley Hoff,
Norwegian pole vault and track star,
who is charged with eXorbitant ex-
penses for his appearance in this
country and violation of amateur
rules. This announcement was made
here today by officials of the union.
The coming investigation is of
charges made against the Norwegian
in Chicago newspapers. These include
accusations that Hoff. worlds cham
pion pole vaulter, has exacted set
prices for his performance in various
cities and other charges of a more or
less serious nature.
The union professed special interest
because about year ago Paavo Nur-
mi. Finnish distance marvel and his
expenses were under fire at the close
of his record smashing tour through
this country.

BUILDING VOLUME
! GAINS DURING MAY
CONSTRUCTION Picks Up De-
spite Costs Being Highest
Since July, 1925.

Briskness Of construction activities
turing May resulted in an increase OF
is per cent over the volume of work
registered for April according to sta
1istics compiled by the Associated Gen
eral Contractors of America. The
amount of construction performed
during the first five months of 1926
exceeds the total for the correspond
ing portion of last year, the compara-
tive figures show.
Construction costs rose during May
to the highest position they have
reached since July, 1925. The in
crease, coming despite the fact that
prices Of construction materials drop
ped appreciably during the month, re-
flected wage advances. Wages in the
construction industry last month
REACHED the highest average they have
6fld since 1920. an increase of points
placing them at an index number OF
22S, based on the 1913 figure.
The volume of contracts awarded
during the first months of this year
exceeds by 16 per cent the volume
registered by the corresponding period
last year. Figures on building per-
mits issued since the first of the year
are practically equal to those covering
the same period of 1925. The totals
on contract awards and permits issued
in April were slightly lower than the
corresponding figures for April, 1925.
The average of prices paid for con-
struction materials was lower last
month than in May of any year since
1922. Drops in prices of cement and
common brick in some sections were
responsible for continuance of the de-
cline, which has been steady since
June. 1928.

rose. There were other tables of
flowers, tastefully arranged for din
ing, arranged by Guide, Mrs. Helen
Fowler and by the Georgetown Gar
den Club, which We'd with each other
in attractiveness.
There were other noteworthy fea-
lures. j. Harry Ley contributed a
number Of vases of the pink Columbia
rose. There was a special charm in
the rareties from the Clara Barton
garden. The water color sketch OF
the projected rose gardens to be con-
structed at the Brooklyn Botanic Gar
dens gives evidence of the popularity
of this flower. The Walter Reed Hos
pital patients have become adept in
their gardening training, for they had
la fine showing among the roses and
other flowers, especially the peren-
malls.
Our Washington garden clubs had
their share of honors. The Hyatts-
vile Garden Club was easily first, with
a. replica of a backyard garden, such
as any one can have in the vicinity
