HAPPY SAM

Some folks says to Mr.. in joking sort
of way
Why are you so happy young man all
the live long day
Why we never see you worried and
we never see you blue
I've told them So might as we'll tell
you
Pm happy because I'm living, yes I'm
happy because I'm here
lust think of all the colored boys that
died last year.
Now there's poor old Nose who stab
beed Mandy with knife
He wont be round for some time be-
cause the Judge done give him life
Yes they locked him up behind the
bars
And threw the key away,
And it's plainly understood that he
in jain to stay,
And there's poor Ned that they hung
up to tree
Filled his body full of bullets down
near Memphis, Tenn.
And down the Mississippi most every
other night
Some Negro kills another in an old
time razor fight
And even in the broad day light when
At A~.k. a.. t1ad;,o fua1
They stop work for an hour or so just
to have a pistol duel.
And when the town was full of small
pox and influenza too
Black boys was all dying, but some
how I pulled through
Yes, l fooled you Mr.. graveyard,
thanks the Lord that amt dead.
Amt no police looking for me, amt
no numbers on my head
And whin you see me laughing and
never see me blue
You add up all l tell you, you'll find
it mighty clear
I'm happy. cause I'm living, yes, hap
py cause I'm here
Course / amt got no money and my
clothes amt none too swell
But I'm eating kinder regular, I'm
feeling powerful well
I'm healthy, I'm honest, no Dr. needs

REFLECTION
BY Shfee Shfee

1t is the state law that every person
regardless of creed or color shall not
be subjected to predjudice especially in
the public schools, therefore it is UP to
Negro parents to fight for their chill
dren's rights when such thing oc-
ours. There are national organiza-
tions located here just for the purpose
Of stopping any deliberate segregation.
But these organizations can not do
anything without the cooperation of
the offended. Don't hesitate to report
such happenings to the proper author
tiles. 1t will not only benefit one child
but hundreds of other Negro children
who wish to participate in various
school activities, and are barred be-
cause of prejudice.

The hometown girls had palpitations
galore last week when Mr.. Williams
McDavid visited our fair city for few
days enroute to Alaska on his vacation
He is an instructor in the Kansas City,
Kansas, High School, and musician
Cum Laude Mr.. McDavid, having
travelled in the principal countries of
the old world, expressed his deepest
regret for not being able to go abroad
this year to visit more of the beautiful
places of interest, because of the war.
The Negroes should be fully repre-
sented in the aquatennial to be held
here this summer, but so far there
doesn't seem to be anyone planning
anything (or are they?)
With summer we'll on its way and
vacation coming to the fore, here are
some very fine suggestions:
Butter rubbed on a knife when cut
ting rich cake will prevent the cake
breaking.
To peel ripe tomatoes, pierce the
top with fork; hold over flame, turn
ing until the skin cracks.
If eggs that are to be boiled hard
are put into rapidly boiling water, the
yolks will not become dark on the out
side.
A little lemon juice or milk put in
old potatoes while boiling will keep
them from turning dark.
To keep the tiny mosquitoes and
flies from getting through the screens,
wipe off the screens with kerosene
every few days.

Manufacturing Profits
Near 1929 Levels
Forecast for 1910
Federal Economists
See Average Exceeding
Both 1928 and 1887
By OLIVER MCKEE.

Profits of American manufac-
turers this year, on the average, will
exceed those of 1928 and 1887 and
will be close to the 1929 levels, Gov
ernment economists predicted today.
Though the profits reported by
American manufacturers for the
first half of 1910 are below those of
1887, the full years returns, reflect
ing the spur of national defense
spending. will be higher. they be-
heve, than the 1887 average. Large
manufacturing corporations, repre-
sented on the New York Stock Ex-
change. 1t is said. may make a less
favorable showing. Government
economists predict, however, that
these corporations are also headed
for the best full year since 1929 and
that their profits will approach the
1928 level.
In 1887, the rate of profit on the
net worth of the leading manufac-
turing corporations was estimated at
1872 per cent and in 1899 at 72 per
cent. On the basis of returns so
far and the probable levels of &C
tivity for the balance of the year,

the rate Of net profit for 1910 Is
estimated at ia per cent.
Rise Sharply In 1910.
During the frst half Of 1910. the
profits of manufacturing corpora
tions rose sharply enough to make
a favorable comparison with other
years Of relatively high returns.
Government economists point out
that profits so far this year are not
much below the high average re-
corded during the first half Of 1887.
At that time, earnings were stepped
up by sharp price advances and In
ventory profits. These factors are
largely absent from the current
situation.
Neither present nor prospective
profits, in the opinion of Federal
economists, account for the mac
tivity on the stock exchange and
the present price level of stocks.
These are rather to be explained by
the uncertainty surrounding the Eu-
ropean war and the apprehension
that decline in production volume
will decline If Britain goes down to
defeat in the near future.
War Material Produces Gain.
Industries now running ahead Of
last years peak in the main are
those engaged directly in producing
war materials and machinery for
expanding plant capacity. Produc-
ton at present levels is almost en-
tirely dependent on orders from the
United States Government and for
eign countries, principally Great
Britain.
According to figures compiled by
Government experts, the following
industries are operating at levels
higher than the 1899 fourth-quarter
peak: Aircraft, machinery, ship
building, cigarettes, chemicals, tires
and tubes and copper production.

proximately equals or is slightly

Elliott Roosevelt
Says CoIun1nist
Disgusting Man

FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 26.
(UP)-Elliott Roosevelt replied to-
day to charges by Columnist Hugh
S. Johnson that he was treated
with favoritism by the army when
he was appointed captain in the
air corps.
Roosevelt called johnson a dis
gushing old man" who, although an
officer himself in the last war, ne
yer occupied any position except
at a desk" -
"If he had had the decency to
check. into the true facts" the
presidents son said. "he would
have discovered that I volunteered
for any service and asked no special
assignment. He would have discov-
cred that under terms of the act
would not be subject to call now
under the draft. because I have q
wife and two children.
Furthermore, the gentleman
states that I will draw a salary of
$500 month, plus allowances that
may be as high as $116-to use his
own words. I would like to point
out that at present with my broad
casting contract and as head of the
Texas State Network, enjoy an
income a great many times in ex-
cess of this amount-all of which
must be sacrificed as result of

Checking Account,
Senators Discover

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 26. (UP)-
Just like a careless citizen who
forgets to add up his checkbook,
the state senate found itself over
drawn today in the state controll-
er's office and members will receive
only II per cent of their travel ex-
pense claims.
The senate put in a claim for
$972.30 after the special session
just concluded, not realizing the
contingent fund of $1,000 had dwin-
died to $69090. Controller Harry
B. Riley had no choice but to pro-
rate the cash.
Members ar epaid at five cents
per mile and attaches at 10 cents.
The shortage cut Senator Roy Uiel-
sen, OF Sacramento from 10 to
cents, while Charles Brown, OF
Mono county. who makes the long
est roundtrip of 1892 miles, dropped
from $64.60 to S45.87. Among the
attaches. Lieut. Gov. Ellis E. Pat
terson had the largest claim, $89. 40.
There was no doubt whatever
that one bill sure of senate passage
at the Dec. 2 session will be a
deficiency measure to pay the re-
naming 20 per cent of the mile
age claims.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Representa-
tives of five million working Brit
ish women, meeting recently in a
National Conference of Labor, de-
manded government measures which
would put stop to a rising cost of
living which has jumped 80 per
cent since war started.
They declared that although war
tlme industry has put more men to
work, essential foods are beyond
reach of the worker. 1t is the poor
who suffer, they said, when eggs
and other commodities are not suf-
1lclent to go around. The well-to-
40 who can afford top prices either
BUY up the available surplus or
take the best.
That there is a knot in the dis
tribution of foods the Ministry of
Food will admit, but smoothing the
whole situation out is another mat
ter, because more than the price of
food has jumped-the whole gen.
eral cost Of living has scared.
HOW FOOD
PRICES JUMPED
Clothes, for example, cost 80 per
cent more than when war started,
and fuel heat and light is Is per
cent costlier. AS for the food, rib
peer is now up "A per cent; fresh
eggs have increased by 36 per cent;
bacon 20 per cent; fish 80 per
cent; granulated sugar 66 per cent:
