OF the 480,324 Negro-owned

per cent in the South and per
cent in the West. The South had
the greatest number Of homes
with values ranging from less
than $1,000 UP to 1899; and the
North the greatest number with
values of $1,000 to $4,000 and
over. The state Of New York
reported the highest median val
lie in the North; the District Of
Columbia in the South; and Cal
ifornia in the West.
In the higher values there
were 1882 homes valued at $10,-
900 and over; 1886 at $4,000,
and over and 1899 at $4,000
and over. 961 Of the latter be-
ing located in the North. 267 In
the South and 81 in the West.
OF the 81 homes valued more
than $4,000 owned in the West
80 or more than so per cent are
owned in California.
Only three states, New York,
New Jersey and Illinois. report
100 or more homes valued at
$4,000 and over.
OF the homes owned by Ne
groes, 1913 per cent. as compar-
ed with 81 per cent of those
owned by white families, were
valued under $1,000; and 49.5
per cent. were valued under S.
900.
Texas led in the number Of
Negro owned nonfarm homes,
followed by Virginia, North Car
DINA and Louisiana in the order
named.
In each of eight states, Ark

PENSES $3.50 A DAY
(By Florida Pre.s)

TALLAHASSEE. April 81
Amounts allowed state employees

sharply reduced if a bill passed by
the house becomes law.
This measure provides that the
maximum allowance for travelling
expense be $3.50 day. Those
operating their own cars must
limit the mileage charge to not
more than five cents mile.
Most departments have volun-
tarily reduced travelling expenses
of employees. The tag depart
ment has been operating on the
five cent mileage basis for some
time.
1t was brought out at the COM
mittee hearing that ion present
cost basis it is possible to operate
new car, Chevrolet or. Ford, in
Guiding upkeep, depreciation, gas,
oil, storage and insurance at from
four and quarter to four and
one half cents mile. Hotel and
living costs were presented from
all sections of the state. large
towns and small. showing the $3.50
a day basis to be a fair allowance
under present conditions.
The bill requires that a sworn
statement be made on a uniform
expense account form, to be fur
nished by the State Comptroller.
No account would be paid until
such record is received and check
ed.

MARTIN
PEP UP CARDS

Frank Frisch, playing in his
best form, is one of the chief
reasons why the Cardinals are in
the pennant fight. He has popped
up the team. That is admitted
in the front office of the Car
dinals, where Frisch's work has
been watched with unusual in
terest because he will get sub
Stantial bonus if he plays the
game the way he can. So far he
is miles ahead of his 1882 form
and the Cards are swinging in
with the pennant push.
1t is on the bases that Frisch
is showing his true merit this
year. Pepper Martin is another
st. Louis player who is stretching
his hits, too. The Cards are try
ing for one run. Close games are
the rule in the old league and
the st. Louis strategy is to steal
the game if the players cannot
hit the enemy picher.
st. Louis says the day of slug
ging as far as the old league is
concerned is past. Many games
will be decided by a single run
this year and Manager Street has
been laying his plans along those
lines
