HOME LOAN INCREASE
RATE IS ACCELERATED
Last Six Weeks Total Was Twice
That of Previous Period,
Beginning in July.

Marking a steadily accelerated rate
of increase in Government loans to
urban home owners, the Home Owners
Loan Corporation today announced
the total of loans closed in the past
six weeks was twice the total closed in
the entire period of operation since the
first State Office was opened last July.
John H. Fahey, chairman, announced
that since December total of 32,l20
loans have been completed for total
of $90,293,017. This sum brings the
cumulative total up to December II to
$135,284,529 on 1854 pieces Of prop
erty.
Of this amount s6e2,3s5 has been
advanced to home owners in the Dis
trict of Columbia. This amount rep
resents total Of lib loans Of an aver
age of $500 each. During the week
ending December IL there were 16
loans for a total Of S103,910 in the
Capital. .
The average loan throughout the
country, however, is much smaller,
amounting to only $2,839.

EVOLUTION OF BOBWHITE GOES ON
UNDER SCRUTINY OF SCIENTISTS

The mystery of natural evolution for
the first time in history, is taking place
under the inquiring eyes of biologists,
and it is hoped the event may yield
considerable data on the way new kinds
of animals have arisen in the past.
A new subspscies of the common bob
white Is developing in the Southeastern
States Of this country. 1t is dark
brick-red bird similar to the usual
brown and white bobwhite except as to
color.
Hobart Ames, who maintains an ex-
tensive bird hunting preserve at Grand
Junction, Tenn, is credited with the
discovery. He first observed the red
bobwhite in 1925, and trapped several
in 1927. Contrary to expectation, these
birds bred true to color, and even when
bred with birds Of ordinary color, red
was dominant in the offspring.
Since then Ames has released many
Of these red quail, until now they con-
stitute about half Of the coveys on q
part OF his preserve. The environment
was unusually favorable for the pro-
duction Of such a new subspecies be-

GAS|NDEPENDENTS
START PRICE WAR
80 Dealers Slash Third-Rate
Quality From 14.1 to 1875
Cents a Gallon.

Thirty-two independent gasoline deal
ers late yesterday slashed the price OF
third-grade gasoline from 14.1 to 1876
cents a gallon as the first move in a
price war against the major oil COM
panies.
The reduction followed the alleged
refusal of Standard Oil Co. to conform
with the 146-cent rate on third-grade
gasoline, set early in the week by the
Petroleum Board.
The board ordered all major COM
panies and independents to raise prices
Tuesday. The major companies were
told to charge 14.6 cents gallon on
third-grade fuel and the independents
14.l cents. Standard, however. Is said
to have continued to charge the same
as the independents.
Joseph F. Amato, spokesman for the
independents, said the group Is pre-
pared to shave another half cent gal
lon off the price of the third-grade
gasoline if Standard attempts to meet
the new price.

KING TO CALL SESSION
FOR D. c. CIVIC LEADERS
Senate Committee Head Will Give
Them Chance to Present Views
on City's Needs.

With the local liquor control bill out
of the way, Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee will call a
meeting next week, probably Wednes-
day, to enable local civic leaders to
express their views on the needs of the
city generally.
This proposed open forum discus
sion would be used by the committee in
determining what other legislation for
the District Of Columbia should be
considered during this session. The
various civic organizations and trade
bodies will be invited to have repre-
sentatives attend and express their
views.
Senator King held similar general
discussion of District affairs last Spring.

cause they could be protected from
hunters. The estate was patrolled by
gamekeepers and shooting was strictly
regulated.
The phenomenon is being studied
by DR.. Herbert Friedman, curator Of
birds Of the Smithsonian Institution,
and under his direction specimens have
been sent to various institutions for
specialized investigation, particularly Of
the genetic principles involved.
There never has been a satisfactory
explanation Of the manner in which
new species and subspecies evolve in
nature. Scientists have been able to
produce new kinds Of plants and AMI
mails, mostly insects, in the laboratory,
but never before have they been able
to study this process in its natural
form-a far different thing. 1t is
considered Of particular interest that
the present example Of evolution is
high In the order Of life.
Presumably all the different forms OF
living things originally became diff
ferentiated in some such way as Is
being followed In the emorgence OF
the red bohwhite.

a hand in the matter.
The boys had road maps and
were travelling fast when headed
off in Alexandria. One told
police he was leaving home be-
cause of paternal insistence on
baths at stated intervals.
The expedition was well equip
ped except in place Of cleansing
mediums, one boy had merely

Gene Starts with Birdie
Sarazen started with an 49,
footer for a birdie at the first but.
after that, he began to misjudge
his pitch shots in the wind and
only a 30-footer at the tenth, q
15-footer at the fourteenth and a
9-footer at the seventeenth kept
him close to par. AS it was, his
rs, as we'll as that of Smith, was
only one stroke over for the long
and difficult Royal Cirque Ports.
incidentally, besides playing in
different, though sometimes sem
sational golf, Sarazen ran into a
diSconcerting experience at the
sixteenth where his partner.
Manuel de Escandon. of France,
mistakenly played Genes ball.
However, the error was discovered
and rectified before a penalty
could be levied.
Shute, not unlike Smith, was
none too fortunate with his long
puts, quite a few of them teeth
ing precariously on the lip Of the

footer for a birdie at the sixth,

at the eighth. Shute's usually
conservative game was not too

Succinctly, a poor hotrweather
word agree, Rogers brings
these thoughts to his Washing
ton public:
st. Louis hasn't a Chinaman's
chance to win the pennant, but
ball players who work on his
club have got to plug just as
hard as though they were going
into world series.
Keeps On Top of EN-
He keeps his team fighting by
staying on top of them all the
time, even going so far as to ire
them sometimes to be sure they
don't slow odWn.
So long as his club stays out
of those slumpS which they have
encountered a couple of times
this year, he expects to be purely
a bench manager, but should
they go into a dive, he'll jump
right into the game if only to
give the team little added bat
ting strength.
Rogers is wild about the Amer.
lean League. He finds it one
great, big, happy, scrappy fam
lily, unlike the National League,
where he ran into so much
pickering between owners as
well as lack Of league coopera-
ton and coordination.
He finds the American League
magnates Submerge their own
feelings for the best interests of
the circuit in general and for
the first time in his baseball
life he is not living in the midst
of constant strife among club
owners.
Grove Loses His Zip
Rogers Hornsby's players re-
