Wages Up; Food
Costs Also Up

MINNEAPOLIS Due almost
entirely to the effects of expan-
sion In war industries, American
families now find approximately a
hundred million dollars a month
more in their collective pay en-
velopes than In the summer OF
1889, Just before the outbreak Of
war threw armament buying into
high gear, according to a study
Of family purchasing power just
completed by Northwestern Ma
tional Life Insurance company.
At the same time, however, liv-
ing costs. which remained almost
stationary during 1889 except for
q short-lived upward furry at the
outbreak of war, are now on the
rise, due mainly to climbing food
prices. Both food prices and total
living costs for the average fam
fly have now passed the brief peak
reached shortly after the declara-
ton of war last autumn. Con-
tinued rise in wholesale food
prices and in farm prices in the
first half Of July makes a further
increase in retail food prices prob
able, the report suggests.
Though the average family's pay
check Is now definitely above the
peak levels of 1887, general manu.
featuring activity, with the excep-
ton Of the war industries. has not
regained its 1887 top.

Dave was on the sprite and I at
the tiller. This wreck was of a
long steel vessel; the part that
showed was the stern. The bow
was to the right and only three
feet under water with sharp, jag
ged. torn steel edges reaching out
to shear anything It contacted.
The bow was in our path. Dave
saw 1t In time and signalled hard
left.
We passed safely over the caved-
In middle Of the ship. A few feet
there or a little inattention and
we would have driven hard onto
those cruel knife-like steel plates.
Believe me. there are plenty of
hazards wherever one Is on a ocean
cruising boat.

Three other nationally known
Negro performers will appear in
the supporting cast of more than
80 when Ethel Waters brings the
great dramatic success "Mamba's
Daughters" to the St. Paul Munich
pal Auditorium in two perform
ances Monday, March II, and Tues
day, March IL.
Fredi Washington is one of these
stars. She was seen in the film
Limitation of Life" which starred
Claudette Colbert, and in zone Mile
from Heaven" with Clare Trevor
and Bill Robinson. 1t is for her
numerous activities in the Negro
Actors Guild and similar work that
she is famous through America.
Willie Bryant is another we'll
known figure. A graduate of Har-
LENS Alhambra Stock company, he
became better known for his work
as an orchestra leader. His band
has toured the country several
times, earning Willie the reputa-
ton that led to the position OF
master of ceremonies at the Apollo
Theater in New York. 1t was from
his activities there, too, that he
went into "Mamba's Daughters" to
become the slick villain.
Georgia Burke and J. Rosemond
johnson are two others who have
gained wide fame. Also included
among the cast are such we'll known
figures as Maude Russell, Albert
Hunter, Robert Thomson, and Ethel
Purnello.
"Mamba's Daughters" is ar
adaptation for the stage by Dor,
