Waste Space Utilized

Housing shortages resulting from
defense production activities havs
increased the necessity for utilizing
all waste space in the home. Most
homes have space either in the attic
or basement which can be turned
into rooms. Insulating board. ap-
piled over the old walls, will redeem
this waste space at little expense.

Health Statistician

Census Figure; FouIty
Comparison Charged

On the basis Of the April /, 1910,
population, the District death rate
last year, corrected for residence,
was l2.2 per 1000 enumerated popu-
lation, Joseph B. Irvine, director OF
the Bureau Of Vital Statistics, Dis
trict Health Department, estimated
today. The Census Bureau recently
placed the mortality rate in the
District in 1910 at 13 per 1000 popu-
lation, higher than any State.
Though including 383 District
residents who died elsewhere, the
figures on which the rate of 122
are based exclude LAT deaths of
non-residents. On the basis of the
estimated population on July l, 1910,
the mortality rate per 1000 was III.
Sees Untenable Comparison.
Comparing the District of Co
hs1nbia, an all urban community
with a large colored population,
with States composed of mixed
rural and urban population and
much smaller proportion of colored
persons Is untenable," Mr.. Irvine
said.
The city Of Baltimore, which is
sirnilar In many respects to our
own, reported a provisional death
rate for residents only of 1872. This
did not include their citizens who
died outside of Baltimore, and yet
our rate, including persons who
died elsewhere, is 1872.

Marks Are in Danger
With Speedy Track
Al Drake Relays
~ the Associated Press.

DES MONIES, Iowa, April 25.-
Crack contingents of track and field
stars went after new records in the
SD annual Drake relays today,
athletes from more than so uni
versities and colleges competing in
nine championship and as many
preliminary events.
Track fans virtually entered two
new records In the books before the
start of the two-day classic and
hope to see new meet marks estab-
lished in three other events.
With a fast track in prospect, the
university sprint medley mark of
S:25.1, held jointly by Rice and
Indiana, was like to topple in a
race that had Texas, Michigan,
Notre Dame, Louisiana State, Ohio
State and Nebraska fighting for
the front spot.
Texas ranked as favorite on the
basis of its world record 1924 per-
formance two weeks ago, but Michi-
gan was reported to have quartet
capable of eclipsing that mark by a
full second.
Jack Hughes, 240-pound Texas
star, had his sights set for a discus
toss well beyond his Drake record OF
1879 feet, having done 165 feet 99s
inches this year. Al Blozis, the
Georgetown husky who won both
discus and shotput titles at the Penn
Relays last year, was considered
Hughes stiffest competitor.
In addition to the discus and uni
versity sprint medley, fans were
looking for possible new marks in
the shuttle hurdle, shotput and high
jump,
Blozis was considered possible
record -smasher in the shotput, while
Don Canham of Michigan, Don
Boydston of Oklahoma Aggies and
Keith ORourke of Notre Dame were
regarded as potential record break
ers in the high jump. Harold Os-
borne of Illinois leaped 6 feet {
inches at the 1922 meet and that
mark has been on the books evel
since.
