According to Mrs. Neville Rolfe,
secretary general of the council,
the majority of young couples ex-

Dealing with the question Of
early marriage, Mrs. Rolfe said
the boy who left school at IA
was completely developed as q

should be encouraged to marry at

quarter century by the Federal Gov
ernment.
Resources of the building and loan
associations in the District increased
steadily during the past year, as they
did during preceding years, and 1882
set a new record for assets IN this field
OF real estate finance.
This field of activity is an important
barometer since such large number OF
private residences here are financed or
refinanced through this type Of organ
ization, which invests its funds. received
from saving members, exclusively in
first mortgages on private dwellings.
1t is estimated, conservatively, that
the assets of the building and loan as
sociations in the District now total $780,
87l, 800 Reports of the local associa-
tons to the District Building Loan
Council for the first IL months of this
year revealed total of S86, 37l 1920.
The average monthly gain in assets
was computed by william S. Quinter
secretary of the council, at about $780,,
900 for this year. Thus. if the gain in
assets for December were no more than
the average for the earlier months of
this year, the total of assets for the as
sociations as of the end of 1882 would
be S86, 87l 800.
Thirteen building and loan associe
tons in the District, at the end CT
1881, reported assets totaling S81 ,829,-
000 The gain in assets during the last
IL months thus would be in excess of
100000
The total for the year 1880 was
SIS 100000.
Remarkable growth of the building
and loan financial business in Washing
ton is seen in glance at the record:

Apartment rent levels declined dur
ing the year. it is generally agreed; but
there still remains a disagreement as
to the extent and causes of the reduc-
tons. Among various reasons ad-
vanced are the reduced income Of
tenants unemployment. increased va
eancies. the law of supply and demand
and the effect Of the investigation Of
rental conditions by members of the
Senate District Committee.
On November 80 Senator Capper,
head of the investigating group, esti-
mated that reduction in rents in the
past year amounted to $l.50000 or
possibly two or three times that
amount.
A statistical study Of rental con-
ditions. made by Rufus S. Lusk for
the Washington Real Estate Board and
submitted to the Senate District Com
mittee, covered 272 buildings contain
ing 10,008 units, or about Is per cent
of all apartment units in the District.
He found that between January,
been a rent reduction Of 10.1 per cent;
that SIS per cent Of the reduction &C.
Cured between January and October
of the past year, and that the reduc-
ton Of As per cent occurred in the
preceding four years.
Vacancies in Washington apartments,
estimated on the basis Of the survey,
were placed at ia per cent of all
local apartment units. as Of October /,

Similar surveys in former years
showed that in November, 1929, the va
cancy amounted to 80 per cent: in
1880, IL per cent, and in 1891, 7.8 per
cent.
Other indications Of the conditions in
washington during the past year are
found in records of deed transfers. fore

There were Gill deeds Of trust,

THREE-TEAM RACE, |
IS J0HNSON'S VIEW
Walter Would Like to Lure
Lazzeri, but Has No HurIer
to Use as Bait.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, February 2.-Just as
M do most Of the experts, Walter
Y johnson thinks the 1882 Amer
tcan League race again will be
between the Philadelphia Athletics, New
York Yankees and last, but by no means
least, the Washington Senators
I'm not predicting any pennant for
Washington" says Johnson, mot as
long as Connie Mack can toss in Grove,
Earnshaw and Walberg in six out of
every eight games, but do think both
the Senators and the Yankees can
make things interesting And with q
few breaks l believe either has the stuff
to win" e
johnson was particularly pleased with
the deal by which Carl Reynolds, feet
outlelder, puts on a Senator uniform.
Only one change in the infield Is
planned, the youngster, Joe Kuhel, be-
ing groomed for first base in place Of
Joe Judge. Buddy Myer will be at Sec
ond, Joe Cronin at short and Ossie
Bluege at third
Along with most every other Ameri-
can League manager, johnson would
like to get Tony Lazzert, veteran second
baseman Of the New York Yankees,
who is on the block, but the Senators
have no pitchers to give away, and
that's what the Yankees want.
The problem Of Lazzeri's berth this
season was one Of the outstanding ques-
tions being pondered by major league
owners and managers as the MidWinter
schedule meetings drew toward a close
today.
The American League adopted It's
schedule yesterday and the National
will follow suit today.
