5. The actual preference OF families
for their own homes is shown by the
fact that the value of new one-family
houses built last year was 48 per cent
of the total sum spent on residential
building in the United States. AL
homes built last year were spoken for
from the beginning Mr.. Wootten sug-
gests, since speculative building activi-
ties were unthinkable under 1881 con-
ditions.
"Out of 28 cities reporting vacancies
in one-family houses and in apart
ments to the Department of Commerce,
18 showed the apartment vacancies
ranging from to 10 for every one
vacancy among one-family houses, -
said Mr. Wootten.
Absorption Revealed.
"In every case apartment vacancies
were larger percentage than those in
one-family houses. Ten of the 81
cities reporting both 1880 and 1881
vacancy conditions registered decreases
of 05 per cent to IS per cent in one
family houses unoccupied at the close
of 1881, showing absorption of the de-
sirable homes. The other IL cities re-
porting for both years averaged only
l.3 per cent increases in such vacancies
in 1881 in spite of the doubling up of
families natural in the second and most
critical year of the depression. Apart
ment vacancies in the same II cities in
creased an average 6.3 per cent over
the same period.
"One-family houses built in 1881
were 56,656, according to Dodge Corpo-
ration figures. The value of these
homes was S431 .867 ,981, or 48 per cent
of the 5000, ,64l 500 spent on total new
residential buildings last year. This is
good evidence that in spite of the low

RESERVES COME THROUGH

With Chick Hafey departed and Pepper Martin laid up, the Card- inals welcomed the good work of Ray Blades and Jim Collins, both on the reserve list until emergen- cies arose.
 Blades returned to active duty after being mostly pinch-hitter, alternate right fielder or coach for five or six years.
 Collins, not a big man, gets much of his hitting strength from a powerful pair of wrists" notes the Cardinals News. Home run ming is nothing novel for him, for he led the Three-Eye league in homers in 1928 and the Interna- tional league in 1929, while in 1880 he was runner-up in the Inter national. He hit 19, 38 and 40 home runs in three years"
 Playing regularly, Collins has hit twice as many home runs in a month this season as he collect ed all last year in the National league. He had only four in 1881.

Lindbergh Kidnap
Case Called Plot
To Free Capone
Indicated by Cangster's
Second Offer to Find
Baby, Says Bingham.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bingham, Republican, Con-
necticut, said in the Senate today that
"the fact Al Capone has twice offered
to find the kidnapped Lindbergh baby II
released from custody lends support to
the belief the kidnapping had been done
by friends Of Capone for this very pur-
pose"
The Senator said that color also was
lent to this belief by the fact that it
has been necessary to turn to gang
sters" for aid in recovering the child.
Bingham described Capone as a
gangster leader. who made his money
out of beer rackets and boolegging. He
said. however he did not believe the
Lindbergh kidnapping was entirely due
to prohibition. but added he felt Con-
gress must face the fact" that the DRY
laws have made enormous profits
available to gangSterS and racketeerS." ="
The sooner we repeal the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act and
permit each State to pass the kind
OF prohibition law desired by the ma
iority of its citizens" he said, the
sooner will we diminish the enormous
profits which are now going into the
pockets of criminals and helping them
to carry out difficult crimes success
fully"
He placed in the Congressional Rec
ord a resolution adopted by the Los
Angeles Aviators' Post of the American
Legion which blames the prohibition
laws for the gangster activities which
it believes responsible for the crime.
Senator Bingham described as aston
ishing the statement in the morning
papers that Capone has again offered
to aid in finding the Lindbergh child"
