New York. June II R-There i. . chance that Bahe Ruth will take more pride in his Fist home run of the 1928 season than he will Tn No. 22.
 He hit both of them at Chjcaeo yesterday as the Yankees lost to the White Sox, but No. el was made off Red Faber, who has more than held his own with the home run king. during the last 14 years. No, 22 was collected off Ted Lyons in the ninth inning after Faber was knocked out of the box.
 When Ruth broke into the biz leagues with the Boston Red sox, Faber was pitching regularly for the White Sox. During his major league career Ruth has hit 434 home runs but he made only seven of them off Faber's pitching. Two of them came in 1920. one in 1921. in 1922, ono in 1926 and one this season. When the Bambino gets hold of one of Faber's deceptive slants and rounds the bases he feels as though he has earned a home run.

 Expendit ures for public school buildings have almost doubled since 1920. with the peak being reached in 1925 when $433,o00.000 was spent for new buildings. In 1926, how ever. the annual eXpcniture for pub lie school buildings decreased $:2.- o00.oo0, indicating. the bureau said. that construction had overtaken the shortage caused by the World War.
 The bureau attributed the increase in school expenditures to the de- creased purcha sing power of the dollar and the general improved school facilities.
