CHICAGO. June 3.-Rapid disap-
pearance OF vacancies in residential
structures. particularly in single
family dwellings. is the most signif
cant present feature Of the rapidly
changing real estate situation. the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards points out in summarizing
local reports on factors affecting
the real estate market.
The residential occupancy figure
Tor Detroit is outstanding instance
of the change. This city. frequently
cited in the earlier depression years
for its heavy "overbuilding," now
reports residential vacancies of all
types. including apartment units. as
reduced to 2.6 per cent. This is the
lowest vacancy figure in history,
and with one exception probably the
lowest vacancy figure recorded for a
ma jOr American city since occupancy
surveys have come into use.
Rents Are Rising
Related to the filling of available
living space. and to continued re-
tardation of new construction, is the
fact that rents for single family
dwellings are showing an abrupt
rise. For metropolitan centers of the
country as reported to the aSsocia-
ton they have gone up more than
six points in the last three weeks,
and are now at approximately II
per cent of their 1926 levels. The
gain from April of this year to late
May has been almost as great as the
entire gain from April, 1884, to
April, 1880
Study of the housing situation
at this moment reveals facts which
hold great national implications,
Walter S. Schmidt, president of the
association, comments. Citing COM
pilatiOns indicating that units built
in 1884 totaled only approximately
29,500, those built in 1888 approx
mately $4,000. those built in 1882 APP
proximately 125,OO0, Mr.. Schmidt
adds that during this period, al
though no accurate figures are
available, destruction is known TO
have been unusus " heavy.
"ObeOlete buildings, left vacant,
came into such unrentable condition
that they we're torn down in great
numbers to save taxes. Fire and
acts of God took their toll. 1t is

n yEW YORK. March 23.-The
M apparent winner of Madison
v Square Gardens heavyweight
elimination tournament. James
J. Braddock of Jersey City awoke
today and wondered just where ne
would go from here.
A 3-to-1 outsider in the betting
despite his reputation for flstic up
sets, Braddock gave Art Lasky, Min
neapolis youngster, an artistic beating
last night in a l5-round bout that
threatened to bring the tournament
to an abrupt and indecisive finish.
Yankee Stadium Gets Bout.
MOT many hours before Braddock

Primo Carnera, the only other
winner the tournament developed, an
nounced he was breaking loose from
the Garden to sign fog l5-round
bout with Joe Louis. sensational Negro
from Detroit. in the Yankee Stadium
June 10 under the promotorial aus
pices of Mike Jacobs.
Primo's managers indicated they
were upset by reports that the win
ner of the elimination tournament
wouldn't get a shot at Max Baers
title at all-that Max Sehmeling al
ready has been lined up for a Baer
fight In the Gardens Long Island

Jimmy Johnston. Garden fight di-
rector, insisted he had an oral agree
ment with Cameras managers that
big Primo would remain in the elimi-

get Carnera and Braddock together
in a week or two.
Braddock Is Aggressive.
PADDOCK fought a slugging
n match against Lasky and the
Middle Westerner never really
got himself untracked.
All of Lasky's advantage in weight
it was just short of Is pounds-did
him no good at all in the face OF
Braddock's aggressive attack, a right
hand drumfire for which Lasky had
no adequate defense.
Braddock seemed to tire around
about the sixth round. but he came
back with an attack that had Lasky
bewildered from there on.
Braddock's decisive victory brought
an ovation from the crowd Of 1918
customers, who paid $22, ,426.04 at the
gate.
Braddock weighed 1921 pounds;
Lasky, 1877.

Weight Reducing.

"HE true story OF Ray 1mpelllttiere
i goes back to that 100 pounds
which was sheared from his
massive frame.
No system can stand that reduc-
ton and still be strong. Ask any
capable physician.
Ray. far overgrown. had to be
trained down. But when 331a per
cent of your system is removed, the
effect never will be in the direction
of stamina.
Taking OF a certain amount
Of surplus weight Is necessary
at many times. But only 20
much can be removed.
Impellittiere was leading Camera
at the end of the fifth round. Then
his stamina blew up. Not from Car
neras punches, or even from his
rougher tactics.
After a heavy weight reduction the
heart and other vital parts OF the
human system are sure to be affected.
Babe Ruth once took of 35 pounds.
II was still heavy enough, I guess"
he said later. but I felt weak just
the same.
$50 l had TO put some Of
my weight back on 70 get the
old punch back.
II noticed, too, that I began to get
tired more quickly after I'd lost those
35 pounds"
Weight reduction should be gradual
and not too drastic. The flrst i'm
portant move Is not TO let that sur
plus weight get out Of control be-
fore the reducing act gets under way.
Any reduction over 10 per cent Is
running into possible danger. Car
nera, for example, weighed 200 when
he first arrived, and he cut this down
to 265. That's less than 10 per cent.
