BATTLE OF MUSIC
 OFFERED AT LAKE

Lake Compounce presents a double feature attraction in the new ball. room next Sunday night when Joe Haynes and his orchestra will vie with Woody Herman and his swing SterS in 8 battle of music. Stun Smith who was previously an- nounced as Joe's contemporary will have to postpone his appearance until some future date as recent communication from New York, which was confirmed by the Feder- ation of Musicians, states that a scarlet fever epidemic has broken out in Smiths band. However, Woody Herman will prove to be a most worthy substitute and the lake management considers itself excep- tionally fortunate in being able to obtain this outstanding attraction on such short notice. Coming here direct from Roseland ballroom in New York, Woody is well known to the radio audience through his pro- grams over the NEG network.
 Joe Haynes has appeared at Compounce in previous seasons and has always been a very popular att traction. A battle of music between two orchestras of this caliber is sure to provide the utmost in fine dance music and entertainment next Sunday
 Hal McIntyre,s orchestra will play for the dancing and roller skating Saturday night and the entire park will be open both Saturday and Sunday.

A large part of this increase can be attributed to the 40 per cent devaluation of the lira. League sanctions against Italy and Mus solini's policy of economic au- tarchy at all costs are responsible to a lesser degree.
 These figures are the result of Independent studies made in every principal city of Italy and conn., piled in one central office by sta- tiStical expert. The basis for con- parison was the official prices in effect on Nov. 2, 1895, (the day before war was initiated against Ethiopia) and the official prices in force on March l, 1887.
 The increase in the price of house hold textiles d55.8 per cent jump during this perioD is large ly responsible for the shorp up- ward trend of the entire index. Other commodities listed in the "cost-of-living-index' showed in- creases varying between 10 and 27 per cent.
 Textiles Rise Greatest
 Some examples of the percen- tual increases during the period mentioned are:

 Currently lire is worth 5.261s cents. A kilogram is 2.204 pounds.)
 Middle Glasses Hit Hard
 The persons who feel the pinch the hardest fall in those classes whose standard of living is above the spaghetti-bread wine cheese diet of the Italian laborers. The later class is aware of slightly higher prices, but not to the extent of the middle and upper classes.
 To offset the upward price trend, which was initiated at the begin- ming of the Ethiopian war, the government has ordered 8 general wage incI ease of approximately 10 per cent to more than 6.000,00o workers. The increases went into effect before the devaluation of the lire and since then the govern ment has been doing everything within its power to keep prices down.
 It has succeeded in controlling the price of spaghetti and bread, but in other fields it has been de- feated by the rigid laws of supply and demand. Many prices could not be kept down artificially be- cause the products had to be im- ported and Italy had to pay with devalued lire. In virtually all these categories the prices are now 30 to 40 per cent higher than before de- valuation.
 The immediate reaction, after a study of the foregoing figures. is

It is remarkable tribute to the government, however, that the prices of the most important food staples, such as spaghetti, bread and coffee, have increased little or not at all. The same cannot be said for clothing materials. Here are samples of official prices in effect on Nov. 2, 1885 and March l, 1887:

Gov. Hurley To
Save Man From Jail

Boston, June 9 (ANP)--A num-
Der of local organizations, headed
by the Boston branch NAACP, are
aiding 34-year-old Eugene Wilson
in his effort to fight extradition
back to the Georgia chain gang
from which he escaped Ia years
ago. Atty. Irwin T. Dortch, local
NAACP president, last week OBJ
tanned postponement in Municipal
court of the cases against Wilson
and also sent a petition to Cover
nor Hurley, urging him to refuse
extradition Of the prisoner.
Wilson was convinced back in
1928 on a charge of receiving stol-
engoods. Before a court in which
he was not allowed to enter a plea
and not permitted to have any de-
fense-he was sentenced to from
10 to 20 years imprisonment. At
ter the trial, Wilson states, the
judge met him in the corridor Of
the court house %upbraided him for
being too FRESH" and changed his
sentence to 20 years on the chain
gang, Wilson claims he paid SIS for
the goods in question and did not
know tlrcs%ere stolen.
After serving six months he es-
capped to Cleveland, O., finally
came to Boston. During his resi-
dence here he has worked for the
Christian Science Monitor and other
concerns, all of whom class him as
a model employee. Ironically en-
ough, he was arrested, not for flee
ing prison-but for having policy
slips and lottery tickets in his
pockets. Finger-printed at police
headquarters, his past record be-
anne known and now the Georgia
authorities r seeking to have
him returned to complete his SEN
tenee. Wilson says he was "rail-
roaded" to prison, fears he will be
lynched if sent back.

Insurance Week
Nets II Million

Augusta, Ca, June IL (By H.
W. Baumgardner for ANP)-The
Seventeenth ANIMAL meeting of the
National Negro %Insurs.2ce associ-
alton ended Friday, after having
held the best convention in the
associations history, according to
well informed observers.
The convention was presided ov-
er by Walter S. Hornsby, associa-
ton president. The pet project"
of the association is its National
Negro Insurance Week program.
This year the committee set as a
goal to be written in new business
the amount of SIG, 1000, 900 plus.
The amount that was actually
written during the week was SILL
O00, 900 plus.
In his annual address, President
Hornsby criticized Negroes who
talk black and act white those
who eternally preach race pride and
race loyalty, and then when they
have money to spend, pass up col
ored enterprises and spend their
money with firms of the other
race. He said:
"Never should we as members
of the insurance profession let any
insurable Negro get away with the
time-worn retort when approached
for an application, that our com
panies do not give as much values
for premiums charged. Our Ne
gro companies are able to meet the
competition of other companies.
When it comes to the question of
benefits, the right to work where
your money is spent is cer-
tainly a benefit. Upon this right to
work depends the sustaining of the
family, the education of children,
the support of organizations-cul-
tural, beneficent and otherwise.
These are benefits bestowed by Ne
gro companies that other COM
panies do not profess to offer, A
program of re-education must be
put into operation"
Elect New Officers
Officers elected for the coming
year are as follows; G. D. Rodgers,
Central Life Insurance company,
Tampa, Fla, president; and L. G.
Blount, Great Lakes Mutual Insur-
ance company, Detroit, Mich, first
vice president.
The 1888 meeting will be held in
