PARK HOMES
Help to AttractiveneSS of
NeighborhOod Not often
Realized by Home Seeker

The five early American manor
type houses completed last week
by Boss & Phelps in their new
Fort Bayard Park development
increases their holdings in this
section to 10 houses, half Of
which have been sold since the
first Of the year.
Designed to meet the needs of
a family seeking a moderate
priced home in a suburban at
mosphere, each home contains
reception hall. living room, din
ing room, music, kitchen and
breakfast alcove on the first
floor, with three bedrooms, bath
and large sleeping porch on the
second floor.
Considerable care has been
given to the planning of each in
dividual room and the visitor
will find that every room has
been finished and decorated
throughout and presents the acme
Of home comfort and living
ness"
Large FirepIaces
A large open fireplace which
graces the coZy living room adds
much to the interior Of the
home, while the music room, 10
Gated to the rear Of the house
and entered from the dining
room through double French
doors, makes an ideal sitting
room and child's study. The
radio connections are located in
this room.
Instead Of placing an unattrac-
tive group of radio wires on the
roof Of each house, the builders
have installed an inside aerial in
the attic. This one feature alone
adds considerable to the attrac-
tiveneSS of the neighborhood,
although it is seldom realized or
regarded as such by the average
home-seeker.
Exceeds 100000
The ten homes built by Boss
and Phelps in this section repre-.
sent an investment in excess of
500, 900. Each home has been
approved by the District of Co
lumbia architects advisory coun-
Gil of the American Institute of
Architects.

CENSUS TO GIVE
BUILDERS

For the first time in the history
of the construction industry the
United states Government,
through its Census Bureau, viii be
able to determine the exact con-
dition Of the building field
throughout the country.
The contracting group Of the In
duStry have made urgent requests
that such information be obtained
as part Of the 1890 decimal census,
so that a more complete and &C
curate set of statistics Of their
business may be had to guide them
in the conducting Of the business
as a whole.
When the present census Is COM
pleted information win be avail
able concerning the approximate
number and kinds Of general con-
tractors, subcontractors and oper-
ative builders as well as the total
value of work performed by them
during 1929.

Skyscraper Seen Aid
To Traffic Jams

The modern SkyScraper is an
important factor in the relief Of
traffic congestion rather than a
major cause Of it. according TO
w. c. Clark, economist Of 8. w.
Straus & Co., and j. L. Kingston,
of Sloan g. Robertson.
Their connections. based on
information gathered for the pub.
lication Of their recent book,
"The Skyscraper," is that by sub
stituting vertical indoor traffic
for horizontal street traffic, the
skyscraper is in reality an ease
to the burden Of the downtown
traffic officers.
Ancient Rome" the authors
say, had trafficc jams. and the
city employed such modern de-
vices as traffic policemen, one
way streets and taxicab stands to
combat them. Traffic has been
a major problem in New York
since 1895. when ox-carts began
cluttering UP the roads and
streets"
It was found further that traf-
fic troubles are not limited to
cities, or sections Of cities, where
The Washington times., 1930-04-12

skyscrapers exist. In London
buildings are limited to a height
Of approximately 100 feet, and
traffic is as congested as in New
York. Paris and BuenoS Aires,
where buildings are low, also
have disturbing traffic troubles.
In Boston, where prior to 1925
buildings were limited to 125 feet
In height, and Los Angeles, where
the limitation is $50 feet, traffic
problems are acute. -
In such cities as New York,
Chicago and Pittsburgh, which
have both SkyScraper districts
and areas where lower buildings
are found, Mr.. Clark and Mr..
Kingston discovered that traffic
was more congested in the retail
districts where buildings are of
low or moderate height. The
streets In front Of department
stores and theaters, for example,
tend to be more crowded than
those near tall office buildings.

According to a recent study
made by the National Bureau Of
Economic Research. the nations

TURNER SUBS
FOR TAYLOR

Joe Turner, and not George
Tear En- Up" Taylor, will op-
pose Mario Giglio, the Italian,
in the feature wrestling match
at the Gayety Theater tonight.
Taylor injured his leg several
days ago and was forced to with
draw from the match.
However, Promoter Jimmy Lake
believes that the veteran grappler,
Joe Turner, will be able to make
things hot for Giglio. who de-
feated Taylor several weeks ago.
Bobby Mainfort and George
Tohorow will oppose in the pre-
liminary and this should also
turn out to be fast and speedy
match. The wrestling will start
about 10 o'clock. One admission
price will be good for the bur
lesque and wrestling shows.

HEAVY ADVANCE
SALE FOR TILT

Promoter Joe Turner reports a
heavy advance sal2 for the Lewis
Koloff heavyweight match, which
headlines the wrestling show at
the Washington Auditorium Satur-
day night. Local mat fans, know
ing the class of both men, will be
there en- masse. Koloff and Lewis
are two of the ranking wrestlers
today and are giants in size.
Lewis is more inter tionally
famous than Koloff, but the lat
ter has built UP a reputation
within the last three years. There
are not many grapplers among
the big boys willing to risk their
bodies with the strong Bulgarian.
Indeed, Lewis is one Of the few
who will make a match with
Koloff.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Court pro-

the entrance to the Washington

The club will seek an injunc-
ton restraining the owners of a
narrow strip of land in front of

action is delayed a new entrance
to the track will be built before

states Bill Flester, manager, pro

of the team of that name. And
what's more, Bill is anxious to
have action right away. the
sooner the better.
According to Bill. it has
been said of him that he has
tried to Sidetrack most of the
lesser teams here because he
thought they were not quite
good enough to fool with in
the matter of time and atttac.

Here is where everyone has
been mistaken" says Bill. I'VE
don't want to pass up anybody.
We want to play them all and
show them that we really are the
best team in the city. Maybe
if we play all comerS these team
managers will not call US high
hat. And then when we beat
them they won't question our
claim as being the Districts un-
limited champions"
Thus a direct challenge by the
ever-Working FleSter. Bill has
started his drive on the local
mines by scheduling the North
ernS on June 8. Others are to
follow in quick order.
The FrenchS have a likely
looking collection of ball toss
ers to defend their drive.
With the disbanding of the
Georgetown A. c.. which tried
to reOrganiZe, but failed this
season, the Sports Goods
ToSserS have virtually the

WEEKEND FRAY
IS FEATURE

a warm race going on in the Gov
ernment League, one of the five
weekday circuits operating in the
daily twilight games on the Monu-
ment Grounds. Four teams are in
a mad scramble for the first half
title with fifth, Navy Yard, out
of it only by inches.
Government Printing Office,
Interstate, Naval Hospital and
Union Printers are clustered with
win or loss either way, making
things so much more complicated
as the games will progress.
Today the Union Printers
play G. p. o. The game Is
the feature of the week day
group. When Umps Ping
Purdy yells his familiar play
ball, fans will see the resume
of the warm fight in this
circuit. with both teams up
and at 'em in keeping with
the fast play characteristic of
games so far.
Four other leagues will con-
tinue play today in games which
will find the Ellipse and Union
Station diamonds a mecca of
shouting, lively ball players. On
the north EllipSe, G. P. o. and
Treasury will tangle in a De
partmental League encounter,
while on the east Ellipse a
Georgetown Church League game
will have the Eldbrooke and
Grace Episcopal mines against
each other. On the west Ellipse,
Hibbs and Holmes Bakery are
scheduled, while over at the
/ Union Station diamond Southern
Railway and Pullman will play
in a Terminal League tilt.
A tie game featured yes
| terday's battles. TiIesetters
and Big Print Shop, in the
Industrial League, battled to
a 3-3 deadlock, marking the
second straight time that the
two teams have played with
out a decision. Joe Freschi
was on the mound for the
TileSetterS, with Walter Hur-
ley Slabbing them for the
Printers. Both hurled ex-
cellently and helped to turn
in one of the most interest
ing games of the Industrial
circuit this season.

NEW YORK, May 22.-With
the first heavyweight cham
pionship fight in nearly two
years still three weeks away,
the advance ticket sale has
reached the half-million mark.
Not even the master Snowman,
Tex Rickard, who could see a
dollar about as far away as
any man of his day or the
present day. ever lived to see
the time when his great fight
extravaganzaS registered so
much interest at the boxofflCe
so soon before the fight.
While his Dempsey-Firpo and
Dempsey-Carpentier cards had
the cashiers checks and money
orders flowing in in numbers
10 days and two weeks before
the fights, assuring huge fl
nancial successes and huge
profits we'll ahead of time,
none of his advance sales
reached the point the Sharkey-
Schmeling reservations have
reached three weeks before
their meeting.
And the irony of all this
marvellous situation lies in the
fact that not one penny of
profit is to accrue to the pres
ent promoters of Madison
Square Garden. but is to &C
crue to the New York Milk
Fund Committee. which sees
that every needy kid in this
hot old greater New York gets
plenty of milk, and ice-cooled
milk at that.
They say there is no senti-
ment in the fight racket, just
as they say there is no senti-
ment in baseball, but both
sports are chock-a-block of Incl
dents similar to the one which
we find in the coming cham
pionship fight. wherein senti-
ment aboundS. All this fuss
and furor over the title fight,
all the arrangements for spe-
cial trains. including the one
to be run by the Washington
Times, is created in the name
of charity, and if charity isn't
sentiment, then you, my audi
tors, think up a more appro-
pirate term for it.
Seated today at the great
glass-topped mahogany desk
of Frank Bruen, general man.
ager of Madison Square Gar
den, chatting over the coming
championship rifle, we noticed
telegraphic and registered mail
remittanceS for blocks of seats
ranging from $4,000 orders
down to requests for one and
two ringSide seats.
Where all the people who
want to see this fight and in
cidentally contribute something
to the milk fund, of which
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst
is chairman, are going to sit,
is becoming hourly to be an
enigma.
But Bill Carey, president of
the Madison Square Garden,
and an engineer in his own
right, will engineer the seating
in some manner and he will
have able assistance from
Frank Bruen and Francis AL
bertanti, his two right-hand
men. For the purpose of a
prize fight, and with the Yam
kee Stadium infield and out
field loaded with folding chairs,
upwards of 10000 will see
Sharkey and Schmeling fight
and make no mistake about
that.
1t is doubtful whether more
than that saw Tunney and
Dempsey in the great Sesqui.
Centennial Stadium in Phila-
delphia. The big sale for that
fight, incidentally, started the
last week, whereas in this one
it already has started with a
rush, something no previous

Hebron, N. D.. Nov. 2l.-The state
Of North Dakota has not made much
Roadway as yet in developing its
wealth Of mineral resources. A few
starts have been made. however. and
if a history is ever written of such de-
velopments with the state the city Of
Hebron is Ire to occupy a place Of
honor as one of the pioneers. It has
proved to the world that local re-
sources may be successfully developed
by local men and local capital.
The Hebron Brick and Tile COM
pany was established in q small way
in 1904 and. except for seasonal shut
downs and a disastrous fire. has been
In continuous operation for % years.
The pioneers were Charles Weigel and
Ferdinand Leutz. For the first three
years Of operation the clay va hauled
by teams q distance Of six miles, but
in 1907 a narrow-gauge tramway was
built to the mines. which greatly in
creased the output.
The company was reorganized In
1894 and the first big brick plant
was erected at a cost Of $250.000. The
buildings and much OF the equipment
we're destroyed by fire in 1925. but
were replaced the following year at
. cost of $4,000.
The buildings have q total floor
space of 24O. 900 square feet. The plant
Is operated eight months each year
and normally employs IS men. the an
nual payroll amounting to $751; 900.
About 5000 tons Of Ignite have been
used annually in the kilns, but this
probably will be reduced, as one of the
kilns recently has been fitted with
natural gas.
