during the first five months OF 1886
over the same period last year, was an
nounced today by J. Reilly Stanton, dl-
rector of Federal Housing Administra-
ton activities in the District area.
Stanton stated that 1886 has shown
a 900 per cent increase In. dollar VOL
ume of mortgages insured over the frst
five months of last year So lar this
wear, Stanton's office has insured $50
home mortgages. having valuation OF
S2.lS2,310, while by the last OF May
last year there were only Al insured
mortgages, valued at S247 ,l8O on the
hooks. No mortgages were insured in
January last year, while SO were ap-
proved here in the corresponding
month Of 1886.
The report showed chat applications
for insurance were filed in the t1ve
months Of this year for $2,l32,9oO IN
mortgages, a 900 per cent increase over
1885. A large number of the mortgages
in this group had not been acted upon

stated that over half of the new apph-
cations have sought insurance on new
construction. In the entire year OF
1885 less than a third of total business
accomplished by the F. H. A, included
new construction. The remainder
were refinancing cases.
The District director said that the

this year in the F. H. A. method OF
home financing. An average OF l,3oo
persons per month have been inter-
viewed by the staff of the District Of

VIRGINIA REALTY
RESEARCH BEGINS
Bureau Is Forming to Map
Factors Conditioning Sub
urban Area.

Although the new fact-finding
bureau being sponsored by important
builders, realtors and brokers in
Northern Virginia Is still in process
Of organization, the research work
which forms an important part Of the
bureaus program Is already under
way, Ashton c. Jones, bureau Execu-
tive Committee member and Claren-
don realtor, said yesterday. The
bureau plans to make what Is perhaps
the first detailed study Of the factors
which enter into and surround
suburban development Of the typical
metropolitan area.
Conditions In Northern Virginia are
ideal for such study. Jones pointed
out, because the metropolitan area
Of Washington Is not 50 extensive as
to entail q vast amount Of work and
yet includes in its Virginia segment
all Of the typical classes Of city,
suburban and semi-rural communi-
ties
Two Contrasting Types.
Two contrasting city communities
Of the suburban type are to be found
in the Virginia area, Jones said; one,
the old, long established city Of
Alexandria, now growing outward into
the surrounding Fairfax County area,
and the other, the new urban center
of Clarendon, already good-sized
city in point Of population.
These areas, with sections Of Fair
fax County which come within a 20
mile radius Of the Capitol, and the
rest Of Arlington County, form the
Virginia portion Of the Washington
metropolitan area, which Is largely
residential in character and thus
particularly suitable for the survey
work which the new bureau plans to
accomplish. It is planned to have
the bureau operate under an execu-
tive committee composed of realtors
and builders supporting its activities.
The Organization Committee Of the
bureau comprises Ashton C. Jones,
c. w. Clever. Eugene Dime, r. L.
Kane, w. 8. Hoge, jr.: Henry c.
Morris and Charles w. Smith. The
research and survey work will be done
under the supervision Of a director
experienced in this line Of work as
applied to realty and housing.

sands of first voters in every part

in an effort to avoid the required
literacy test, investigation dis
closed yesterday.
In hundreds Of other cases, it
was charged, aliens who have not
taken out their first papers have
been systematically and illegally
registered as short cut to citizen
ship.
As these further revelations were
made of attempted frauds on an
unprecedented scale, Republican
and non.partisan organizations
pressed their preparations to com
bat them on election day.
Speaking officially for the East
ern division of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, Roger N. StrauS,
special assistant to Representa-
tive Joseph w. Martin, jr., the
Eastern campaign manager, said:
"A presidential election, to be
the honest expression of the will
of the American people, must be
free from even the slightest sus-
piciOn of fraud at the polls.
All citizens of whatever political
faith should make it their duty
and their responsibility to exer-
else vigilance in detecting and
reporting any iIlegality in con-

FERNANDINO ISLAND, Oct.
26 G.N.SO I'VE are witnessing
one of the mightiest upheavals of
nature, an awesome eruption of
the volcano on this island, near
which we are anchored.
Flames and smoke are shooting
hundreds of feet into the air and
there is an unearthly, almost
deafening kissing as millions of
tons Of moulton lava pour into
the sea.
Last night one could read by the
light of the inferno belching from
the crater.
The eruption began at 10 a. m.
yesterday. Smoke beloved sky
ward until 2 p. m, when flames
suddenly shot into the haevenS.
Red-hot lava SON started to pour
in rivers down the Southerly slope.
Sweeps to Sea
Everything in the lava's path
was consumed as the fiery
tongues flowed kissing to the sea.
AS it struck the water the lava
roared like giant in agony and
almost Immediately blanket of
dense steam covered the sea. Soon
the ocean began to boil and within
a matter of seconds tons of dead
fish rose to the surface.
AS night came the flames and
rumbling from the crater were
terrific, spectacle never to be
forgotten.
So far as I know, there are no
people on the island, which is one
Of the group that has been a
mecca for naturalists because of
its varied forms of animal life.
Flames Leap High
At dawn today the flames and
smoke were still roaring hundreds
OF feet into the air.
There appears to be a slight
elimination in the force of the
eruption this morning, and I hope
to take a closer look today if pos
stble.
We are anchored safely, and
there appears to be no danger to
our ship unless the top of the
crater should explode, spraying
rocks over a vast distance, which
is unlikely. ,, ~, ----

FORT LUPTON, Col. G.N.SD.
A. o. Nippon, a Japanese farmer
living near here, demonstrated
opportunities still to be found in
western agriculture when he sold
his 1886 cabbage crop for SIG, 900.
At the beginning of the season
Nippon was broke. He borrowed
500 with which to put in the
crop. He and his family tended
the 20 acres of cabbage, from
which he harvested 80 tons.
