 EASES UP
 In Russia, the crushing pressure against the churches which followed the revolution in 1917, appears to have let up a bit. It is now esti- mated that perhaps half of the Greek Orthodox churches in use in 1913 are now being used in some form by their congregations. Under the new constitution of 1886, Rus sia gained a bill of rights somewhat similar to that of the United States. It promises the freedom to practice any religion or none. But the pre- vailing attitude of the ruling class is atheistic, and such toleration as is now permitted the churches is frigid and unsympathetic. All propaganda facilities are denied the churches, and such as have recently resumed activity do so only because of the

zippers for houses are not actual,
physical zippers as we are accus-

into the bottom of the window

League Reports Marked
Rise in Such Building

Owning your own vacation home
Is showing new evidences of popu-
larity in America during this season
of upset foreign conditions, the
United States Building and Loan
League has learned from its men,
ber thrift and home financing in
stitutions. A marked increase in
applications for loans to build small
summer homes where the wife and
children can vacation and the
breadwinner can drive out for the
week end has been the associations
experience this year.
A renewed interest in undermining
the already existing summer places
is also seen in applications for re-
conditioning loans on such prop
critics. The air is thick with the
plans this month in order to get the
new places in shape for summer, it
is pointed out.
George w. West, Atlanta, chair
man of the Home Building and
Home Owning Committee of the
United States Building and Loan
League, said that, due to the past
two years of war scares hundreds
of families which started using their
building and loan accounts to ac-
cumulate funds for foreign travel
have asked for them this spring to
spend on vacation home.
Increasing business responsible
ties in an era of seesaw between re-
covery and relapse have also con-
tributed to the inability of many
men of considerable income to spare
the time for travel to far parts"
said Mr.. West. There is the further
angle that many middle-aged per-
sons have used up their travel ener-
gies and want a place of their own
for relaxation. These two factors
combine with the international ten
sion to make river and lakeside and
mountain homes a desirable alterna-
tive to travel this year"
Savings, building and loan asso-
Citations have always been known as
the source of funds for smaller
homes and hence get enough appH-
cations for vacation homes to bring
this trend to their attention.

In the District are reported as 5
per cent of the total number of
units. Experts state that the nor
NAL percentage of vacancies in
apartments here is 10. They say the
figure can reach a considerably
higher level before the situation
becomes serious. So, it is pointed
out, apartment operators have
large margin of safety at the pres

Over-building in an urban CEN
ter is usually first reflected in rapid
ly increasing vacancies in apart
mentS. While there are more apart
ments for rent than there were a
year ago or in 1887, the rate of in
crease has not been great and falls
far short of the point where it might
cause great alarm.
The tremendous volume of resi-
dental building here is shown by
the estimate of statisticians that
5000 new dwelling units will be
placed on the market in the metro
politan area in the next five months.
The one-family houses and apart
ments containing these units are
now actually under construction.
The amount of new residential
building is almost equally divided
between the District and the sub
urban portions of Maryland and
Virginia.
New homes are being sold here
at rapid rate. 1t is estimated
that such sales in the District alone
for the first third of the year total
637. This compares we'll with 573
new homes sold in the comparable
period of 1888 and with 531 in the
first four months of 1887. Home
sales figures for nearby Virginia and
Maryland are not available.
Another indication that the real
estate business here remains healthy
lies in the number of unsold homes
on the market in the District. This
figure on May was reported to be
1.036 by Rufus S. Lusk, publisher
of Washington Business Review.

 REYMONDS 34.13 IN PLAY0FF GO
Cunha, Grady Strong in ROut of Hillies-Next
 Game Friday

A fighting Gents of the Hill team, inspired by a scrappy diminutive guard in the person of Joie Cunha, rose to new heights last night and pinned a crushing 34-13 defeat on the favored Raymond Hillies, there by taking the first of three game series to decide the championship of the Washington Hill hoop tour nament.
 Three hundred and fifty fans whooped and yelled, as the Gents, using a revamped lineup, defeated the Hillies for the first time in ten tries. The defeat was the worst ex- perienced this year by the Hillies, and in many years in a title playof.
 The two teams will meet again tomorrow night in the second play off game.
 Accurate
 Five successful free throws in the initial stanza, added to a hoop by Cunha, while Johnny Griffin was counting for the Hillies, gave the Gents a 7-2 advantage. In the sec- ond period, Johnny Thompson led the Gents attack with two hoops, and the half ended with the Gents out in front 14-5.
 Comeback
 The Hillies showed their best wares in the third period, outscor- ing the Gents 7-6, and bringing the count to 20-12. In the final quarter through, the Gents took re- yenge, scoring IA points to the Hill- ieS' one.
 From every angle the Gents were superior to the Hillies-scaring 13 hoops out of 75 shots, and eight free throws. The Hillies sunk three fouls, making five hoops out of 59 shots.

Clarence De Mar, At 50, Ready For B.A.A. Marathon

Keene, N. H., March 30.-UP)- A slender runner with weather beaten features whose sparkling eyes belied his half-century of existence prepared today for his Fist Boston A. A. marathon April 19.
 The gaunt marathoner was Clar- ence De Mar, seven-time winner of the Hopkington-Boston classic and victor in some 13 other marathons He never has quit or finished worse than 18th in the tough B. A. A grind.
 Somewhat mellowed in his rhil- osophy, De Mar, who will be 51 June 2, talked quietly of his train- ing preparations. He offered a sharp contrast to the De Mar of a decade ago who took verbal and fistic pot shots' at amateur athletic officials and spectators.
 Ready To Go
 De Mar, printer-teacher at Keene normal school, who first won the B. A. A. in 1911, has trained carefully for the coming race, but his training theories have changed He no longer believes that success ful running" depends on constant practice or that "strict training methods are always the most ef- fective.
 Though he has finished in the first 10 only thrice since his last victory in 1880, De Mar hinted he might place in the first five. His choices were Pat Dengis, Leslie Paw son, 1888 winner, and course record holder; Johnny Kelley, Mel Porter "and one other"
 A place on the 1940 Olympic team offers an added incentive to this years B. A. A. winner. De Mar has competed in three Olympic mara thons, finishing 18th at Stockholm in 1912, third at Paris in 1924 and |28th at Amsterdam in 1928. How about the 1940 Olympic?

RANGERS NEED WIN TONIGHT
New Workers Almost Out of Stanley Cup
 Competition
lBy United Pressl

Opponents for the best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff final may be decided tonight when the Boston Bruins meet the New York Rangers and the Toronto Maple Leafs en- gage the Detroit Red Wings.
 Boston won three in 8 row before dropping the last game to the Rang CTS and still needs a victory to end their best-of-seven series. Toronto displayed such superiority over De- troit in their first semi final game that the Maple Leafs will be fa- vored to end their best-of- three elimination at Detroit tonight.
 Should the Rangers win tonight however, the clubs will return te New York for the sixth game Sat- urday night, and if a seventh is nec- essary, it will be played in Boston Sunday night. If Detroit evens the series against the Maple Leafs to- night, the deciding tilt will be played in Toronto Saturday night.
