cal comment from a Minneapolis
building contractor.
Rentals must increase Is per cent
generally to catch up with present
building costs and encourage new
construction. according to a Chicago
building publishers response. Peo.
ple are afraid to put up rental
property because of the inadequate
return on their investment. we must
expect higher rents next fall. and
another boost in the spring. Two

In Is of the SO cities reporting

bright spots Of the situation is that
considerable prospective new con-

LOS ANGELES, March 15.-Felen

day Of strange sleep today, insens-
ible to pain or sound.
For q second time, her trance-like
condition prevented her from being
taken to court for sentence. Her
conviction carries a penalty of from
seven years to life in prison.
The 31-year-old woman was con-

he went with his socially prominent
mother.
Since she slipped into the coma last

of her body have ceased, aside from
breathing and blood circulation.
"She is suffering from a catatonic
condition, form of stupor brought
on by extreme mental strain" said
Dr. Benjamin Blank, county Jail ply

intravenous solutions of glucose and

ROOSEVELT DELAYS
INSPECTION TRIP
Rain Causes Him to Spend
Day at Farm-Works
on Tax Return.
By j. RUSSELL YOUNG,
Stafr Correspondent OF The Star.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, March is
After a dismal, rainy Sunday, made
all the more so because he was forced
to spend most of his day laboring
over his income tax to get it into the
mail before the deadline, President
Roosevelt today slept late, and then
enjoyed an hour or so in the glass
covered swimming pool at the Warm
Springs Foundation before going to
his large farm on the slopes of Pine
Mountain to spend the remainder of
the day.
Mr.. Roosevelt had planned to motor
over Pine Mountain today to inspect
the Pine Mountain Resettlement prof.
ect, and to go from there to Chipley,
about 10 miles distant, to inspect a
c. c. c. camp. The rain of yesterday,
which continued throughout the night,
made the dirt roads in this section
soft and dangerously slippery for
motoring. Moreover, there was
wintry chill in the air and the Presi-
dent thought it would be unwise to
have the inhabitants of the valley
reSettlement stand on the soggy
ground, out in the cold air during his
inspection trip. However, he will
make this journey to the valley re-
settlement project before he returns
to washington.
President Roosevelt did not leave
his little cottage home yesterday. 1t
was dreary, gloomy Sunday for him.
First of all, the skies were overcast
and there were intermittent rains.
Within the seclusion of the little cot
tage the President was struggling
throughout the greater part of the
day with his income tax returns.
This was the first time in the four
years that he has been President that
MIR. Roosevelt has made out his in
come tax returns himself. He makes
no secret of the fact that he is not
so good at figures, and according to
reports of his struggles yesterday, it is
doubtful if he will ever try doing it
again by himself. The President has
been assisted in previous years while
occupying the White House by ex-
pertS from the executive Office and
the Treasury Department, but when
approached on the subject few DAYS
before leaving Washington for his
Warm Springs vacation, the President,
who was absorbed in other and more
important matters said there was no
hurry and that he would make it out
himself when he got to Warm Springs.

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent

New York, March IL (UP)--
They'll be running the Columbian
mile, most highly publicized Of this
country's foot races, at Madison
Square Garden tonight, and this OBJ
server is going over to see If the
officials have adopted the very sane
suggestion he made last year.
The suggestion, which came after
what seemed on interminable series
of races during the indoor season,
was this:
That in all races of more. than a
quarter of q mile In length the horse
liniment and diaper brigade be
made to run all but the last 440
yards in the basement, and come
into the view Of the public only for
the finishing sprint.
Good Idea
During my trip up the Mississippi
at food time the young man who
was good enough to pinch hit for me
in this space sounded off the same
idea, but I do not believe used
enough vigor. Under his plan, the
athletes would get the early, and
boring, laps out Of their systems by
around the block and then
burst through a door for the finish.
That would hardly be fair to the
pedestrians outside. Pedestrians have
few enough rights in this country
as 1t Is, without having a covey
