To Check Constipation
Get at Its Cause!

II constipation has you down so
you feel heavy, tired and dopey,
it's time you did something about
it. And something more than Just
taking a physic! You should get
at the cause of the trouble.
II you eat the super-refined
food most people eat, the chances
are the difficulty is simple-uou
don't get enough "bulk." And
bulk" doesn't mean heavy food.
It's a kind of food that isn't con-
sumed in the body, but leaves a
soft bulk" mass in the intestines.
II this common form of con-
stipation is your trouble, eat
Kellogg's All-Bran regularly, and
drink plenty of water. All-Bran
isn't medicine-it's a crunchu,
toasted cereal. And it will help
you not only to get regular but to
keep regular. Made by Kellogg's
IN Battle Creek. If your condition
Is chronic, it is wise to consult
physician.

Compony's l94l Models
Presented to Writers
At Detroit
By DAVID ]. WILKIE,


DETROIT, Sept. 16.-A year of
tremendously stimulated activity"
lies ahead, w. M. Packer, vice presi-
dent of the Packard Motor Car Co.,
said today in presenting his COM
pany's 1941 models to newspaper
and and trade publication writer's at
the annual "preview" session divided
between downtown auditorium and
the Packard proving grounds at
nearby Utica.
mo man can honestly estimate
our rate of national acceleration
under the stimulus of international
emergency and the impact of bill
lions of dollars spent for national
defense" Packer said. While the
effect of national defense spending
was not materially felt by the motor
car industry in 1910, the reverse will
be true in l941. Billions of defense
dollars expended for the reduction
Of national unemployment cannot
help but be reflected in the in
creased purchase Of automobiles by
re-established families with new
purchasing power"
The presentation of the new
Packard line today marked the be-
ginning Of the company's 41St year
of continuous automobile produc-
ton. Its first car, ''two-passenger
buggy" was completed November 6,
1899, by j. A. Packard at Warren
Ohio. In the model year just ended
it assembled 9798l units, according
to figures supplied by Wards Auto
motive Reports.
Packer described his company's
position, in relation to the l94l sales
prospects, as particularly good"
asserting that in the face of a
general decline in the purchase of
high-priced cars throughout the in
dustry Packard has enjoyed a gain. -
and at the same time has estab-
lished a position in the middle-price
field

CLEVELAND, Sept. Is. - Col.
Leonard P. Ayres forecast today that
defense preparations would stimu-
late industrial production for the
next two years.
War industries at present employ
326,O0O and have weekly pay rolls
of nearly Il million dollars, he said,
adding pay rolls have been increas-
ing distinctly more rapidly than
have the number of workers
The Cleveland Trust Company
vice president and economist in his
monthly business summary said
part of the reason industrial produc-
ton increased only moderately in
the summer months lis to be found
in the fact that there has been little
increase in defense expenditures OF
the Army and Navy.
Big Gains Predicted.
Nevertheless, the placing of
munitions contracts. and the prep
arationS to place them. have been
going forward at so considerable a
pace that important increases in
employment, construction, in the
demands for materials and in ac-
tual production are sure to be in
evidence in the remaining months
of the year That stimulus to IN
dustrial production will continue not
only through the rest of this year
but at least through next year and
the year after that The imple-
ments of war are III no sense in
come producing but Will tenn
porarily operate TO lift the national
income.
There IS an additional reason
why industrial production will 90
forward this year and the opening
months Of l94l. The automobile
companies are planning for unus-
ually large volumes of output dur
ing the final quarter of 1910 and the
first quarter of next year They
realize that with increased indus
trial employment and pay rolls there
will be an increased demand for
cars"
Pay Rolls Expand.
Noting the war industries al
present employ about $4,000 work.
erS, Col. AEreS commented:
1T is noteworthy that the pay
rolls have been increasing distinctly
more rapidly than have the number
Of workers. and most Of the differ
ence between them has come into
existence since the outbreak of the
war in Europe last September. At
pay per worker per week amounted
to S28.19 while in July of this year
1t had increased to S3608. Part of
the increase has resulted from the
employment Of larger proportions of
skilled workers, and part of it from
the payments for overtime work.
Our national industrial plant
taken as a whole is probably not
much greater in capacity than it
was at the time of our former arma-
ment effort % years ago. When we
undertook our war effort in 1917
we had been producing supplies
and munitions on huge scale for
the warning nations of Europe dur
ing two and half years. We had
been experiencing great industrial
prosperity and our plants had been
improved, enlarged and modernized.
This time we have a somewhat SINH
lar experience in the aircraft in
dustry. but not in any other impor-
tant part of our productive plant.
Now we have a good many serious

LISTEN TO THIS
By Hobart T. Mitchell

In 1929, Perier, governor of
Louisiana, said with reference to a
group of Negroes who had fought
against the Indians: Fifteen Ne
grOes in whose hands we had put
weapons, performed prOdigies of
valOr. If the blacks did not cost
so much, and if their labors were
not necessary to the colony, it
would be better to turn them into
soldiers, and to dismiss those we
have, who are so bad and cOwardly
that they seem to have been manu-
featured purposely for this colony.
In 1862 it was enacted in Rhode
Island that all slaves brought into
the colony should be set free after
ten years of service.
John Casser, one of the first Ne
grOes brought to this country by
the Dutch in 1919, became an owner
of slaves in Virginia.
Edward G. Walker and Charles
L. Mitchell, who were elected in
1866 to the Massachusetts House
of Representatives from Boston,
were the first Negroes in the his
tory of the race to sit in the legis-
lature of any state. :,
Frederick Douglass was the first
Negro to dine at the White House
as the guest of a President of the
