Marshall Ends Existence
As Incorporated Town
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WARRENTON, Va. March 81
The final chapter in the history OF
Marshall as an incorporated town
was written yesterday when the
Fauquier Circuit Court ordered a
disposition of the defunct town gov
ernments surplus funds.
The court directed P. w. Anderson,
former town recorder, to pay the
surplus, amounting to S2l5.40, to
the town Chamber of Commerce, to
be used for street lighting.
The towns charter was revoked
as a result of a referendum held
about a year ago after citizens OBJ
jected to use of a P. w. A. grant for
installation of water works. The
P. w. A funds we're returned when
the election showed Marshalls resi-
dents wanted the town charter re-
scinded.

The 10-year-old ice hockey scoring
record of Connie Weiland of Boston
appeared doomed today, for Norman
Calladine. crack Baltimore Oriole
center, has tied the mark of 70 points
and still has two league games ir
which to establish a new world rec
ord.
Calladine, who tied the record last
night at Baltimore as the Orioles
scored five goals in the final period
to trim the Hershey Cubs, 6-3, to
clinch the Walker Cup series, will
appear here tomorrow night when
the Orioles clash with the Atlantic
City Sea Gulls at Riverside Stadium
In an exhibition game.
Despite his impressive scoring
record, however, Calladine has not
been assured top point honors among
Eastern League players, for Herb
Foster, Atlantic City ace, still is In
the running with 72 points and also
appears a certainty to fracture Wei

WICHITA. Kans., March 20.-The
Women's national A. A. U. basket
ball tournament-the Midwest sub
stitute for the six-day bike race
gets under way tonight with some
200 queens of the courts ready to
show how much girls basket ball

time.
AS in every sport, forms the thing

played mostly to provide mild ex-
ercise for the more vigorous girls.
But all of that has changed.
Today's queen of the court is
smartly groomed. When she parades
in the grand opening tonight she
easily could be taken for a bathing
beauty on display.
Her costume is streamlined to
allow her the freedom the game re-
quires. Her hair is freshly curled.
A spot of rouge and lipstick enhance
the athletic color of her skin. Her
hngertips will reflect the latest nail
fashion.
But because she's modern, don't
think she's soft. She's not an
Amazon, but she plays the game
all the way-whether it means a
hard spill that jars her curls out of
place or brings a scramble for the
ball that smudges the satin sheen
of her colorful uniform.
Shes good sport. come what
may. Heated words may fly in
tense game, but when the final gun
cracks she's the first to congratulate
the victor or console the loser.
If she's on one of the better teams,
she's probably taller than average,
for size has its advantage in girls
play as we'll as in mems. Galveston,
Tex, defending champion, is made
up largely of girls within inches of
6 feet. Little Rock, Ark, a former
champion, also goes in for tall and
capable girls.

IHOME INTEREST l RATE DROPPING
5 to 5K Per Cent Survey Shows to Be the Most
 Common

Chicago, June 3O.--Tn 37 per cent of the cities of the country mort- gage money costs to the homebuyer for e new moderately priced house is commonly per cent or lower, and in 56 per cent of the cities a rate under per cent is commnest, the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards finds in analysis of re- ports from 262 cities made in its 33rd semi-annua.l survey of the real estate market. A rate of AZ per cent or lower has come to be the prevailing mortgage cost on new small homes in per cent of all cities reporting, and range as low as AZ per cent is usual in { per cent of the cities.
 Detailed findings, released today, show the rapidity with which the lower rates have spread even with in the last six months. In the like survey of January of this year, only 27 per cent of the cities named as actually prevailing no rate higher Wt6AA RCk NCkAUs GOuA hAlNA O AAeA4 years ago when the association made its first survey on this subject there were only 3 per cent of the cities showing a rate in actual use as low as 5 per cent. A range under 6 per cent was shown six months ago in 50 per cent of the cities, three years ago in only 30 per cent of the cities.
 In 97 per cent of the reporting cities money cost to the homebuyer today is not higher than 6 per cent. Six months ago this was true in only G2 per cent of the cities and four and 8 half years ago it was true in only 56 per cent of the cities. In three out of every hun- dred cities the commoneSt rate is still hifgher than per cent.
 In three out of every hundred cities the commonest rate is still higher than 6 per cent.
 For the first time in three sur- veys no city cites a prevailing rate higher than per cent, though 1 per cent of cities name a per cent rate.
