 trained musicians and was greatly enjoyed, by the non- dancing as we'll as the dancing elements of the community. The entertainment lasted until 3 a. m. Tuesday morning and will be long remembered as one of the most enjoyable dan ces in the camps history.
 The warship left for the south an hour or so after the dance closed, with all on board declaring that the local record for hospitality and entertain ment had not been excelled anywhere on the Pacific Coast.
 In response to numerous in quiries, the Herald presents be- low brief description of the warship:
 H. M. s. Despatch is the flag ship of a British squadron now engaged on a tour of Pacific Coast ports of the United States and Canada under the command of Vice Admiral Haggard. The vessel is of the light cruiser type, 400 feet in length and of 4,000 tons dis placement. Built for speed rather than for heavy battle duty, the vessel is but lightly armored and is capable of a speed of 30 knots per hour and an average cruising speed of 28 knots per hour. The crew comprises 430 men with 37 off icers. Her armament includes six 6-inch naval guns, four B. pounder rifles, three high al- titude guns for use against air craft, and two pom-pom guns, in addition to an assortment of machine guns of several types. The vessel also carries 12 tor pedo tubes.
 In closing this account of the visit of H. M. s. Dispatch, the Herald feels constrained to ex- press a word of tribute to the enlisted personnel, than whom a more clean-cut, gentiemanly body of young men could not be found anywhere in the world Not one instance of that turbulence of spirit com monly credited to naval men on shore leave was displayed by the visitors during their stay in the district and the utmost courtesy and cordiality marked their intercourse with both the American and Canadian resi- dents.

Apartments are the favorite form of
domicile in 257 identical American
cities of more than IS 900 population,
and during the last four years have
completely outstripped the one-family
dwelling. which formerly held the lead.
Statistics gathered by the Depart
nlent of Labor reveal that during the
last calendar year 48.6 per cent of the
244,197 families provided for in all
classes Of dwellings in these cities we're
housed in apartments, with 402 per
cent in one-family dwellings The re-
mainder were provided for in two
family dwellings, which included one
and two family dwellings with stores
combined.
In 1928 a total of 53.7 per cent of
the 388,678 total families were pro-
vided for in apartments, as against but
35.2 in one-family dwellings. The
previous year the percentage was ass
and 3S.3, respectively, and in 1925, asa
and 40.7, respectively.
The rapid strides of the apartment
house is readily discernible from the
departments earliest figures, 1921, when
58.3 per cent of the total number of
families were provided for in one-fam-
lily dwellings. The apartment house
ratio was then PA.
Fourteen cities of the United States
DOaSLlnB populaClon OF 5UU,OuU or more
contributed heavily to the favoritism
shown apartments. In these cities 644
per cent of the new family dwelling
units for which permits were issued
during 1929 were in apartments, and
25.3 in one-family dwellings. The
previous year the ratio was 672 and
22.l per cent, respectively.
In New York City $500 families
we're provided for during the last year
OF this number 83 per cent were pro-
vided for in apartment houses.
Chicago ranked next to New York In
the percentage of apartments with a
total of 77.9 per cent.
Baltimore continues to be the out.

lated a plan whereby an agency will be
set up for the purpose of publishing at

plan which will be within the buying
capacity of the majority Of prospective
owners of homes
II the plan proves workable, produc-
ton sawmills will deliver all the pieces
for any such house plans cut to proper
length, such as studs, joists, Sills, sub
flooring, sheathing, roof Sheathing, Grip
Piles, etc, with the exception that any
angles other than the square cut of 90
degrees, will not be cut at the mill
The retail lumberman will order q given

turer will deliver all the pieces cut to
the correct lengths, ready for actual
building without further saving.
The National Lumber Manufacturers
Association is heartily in favor of the
plan and sees in it many advantages.

BOND PRICES DRIFT
TO LOWER LEVELS
U. S. Group Eases With
Remainder of List-RaiI
Issues Weak.
BY +. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 27.-Unable to
shake off the lethargy that has gripped
it for the past month, the bond market
today continued its dull tone and list
less drift downward. With renewed
weakness in stocks, the market lacked
impetus from convertibles and stock
warrant issues. United States Govern
ment obligations were off a shade with
the rest
At the opening the light activity
seemed concentrated on the second
grade railroad bonds, which were again
driven down to new lows for the year.
With the reports Of 35 major railroads
for the first five months of the year
at hand, decrease of 20 per cent in
net income is shown.
Losses in Rails.
Chicago g. Eastern Illinois SIS reached
new bottom, down 2 points on the
day. Smaller losses were made by st.

struggle back fractionally from the low

InduStrials were extremely dull. Ma
tional Dairy Products 5H had an early
fractional gain that. was later can
celed. Some of the oil company loans
were higher, including Pan American
Petroleum IS, Sinclair Is and Richfield
Oil 6s.
Foreign dollar bonds did little. Bolivian
issues again dropped to their lows OF
the year, with the news of small suc-
cesses by the rebel forces. Brazilian
6laS and Antioquia "A" rs dropped q
shade. German issues were stronger
with the improved demand for the
new reparations 5las.
In the new capital market, the Boston
& Albany Railroad offered $500, 900 OF
AZ per cent improvement bonds
through J. P. Morgan g. Co. It is the
first financing by this road since 1917
The coupon rate of AZ is unusual The
bonds were offered at 90 to yield 4.6C
per cent and were quickly subscribed
The Boston 6E Albany is under a 99-yeal
lease to the New York Central and the
latter road has guaranteed the bond:
both as to principal and interest. The

ings included $4,000, 900 Chicago SAM
