UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In the wlldS OF Africa, the sway
ing trees, moaning winds and rum
bling thunder give sounds to which
the natives listen. Song birds sing
or twitter and wild beasts screech,
howl or roar.
The more-or- less savage people of
African jungleS add to the sounds.
They make music which has rhythm
even when it does not sound very
pleasant to the ears of white
traveller. The tom-toms of Africa
are famed for their savage beat. A
tom-tom is a drum. and was so
named in imitation of the sound it
gives forth.
Some African drums are made
entirely of followed wood, and their
boom may be heard for great dis
tanceS.
African natives often use signal
system based on the beating of
drums. Messages are sent far and
wide in this way. Word of the COM
ing of soldiers is obtained in one
camp and then sent to another with
the help of beating drums.
Certain tribes have learned to
make drums by stretching skins over
wooden boxes, or over metal pots.

, and for that reason make different
notes when they are struck. This
instrument has been nicknamed "the
African piano"
Natives in and around the French
colonial city of Dakar, in Western
Africa, use an instrument of that
kind. Their own name for it is
"balenjah." They strike it with q
pair of knobbed sticks.
While speaking of African music,
it is well to remember the singing.
Negroes seem to have q natural gift
for song, and when singing together
they usually have fine harmony.
Most of the so-called Negro

time were composed by white men
in the United States, chiefly Stephen
Foster.

before There seems little doubt
that 1910 will top both Of these
in the final count
From sales standpoint The
domestic total for cara and trucks
this year is likely 10 reach tiso.-
600 units which. Of course. does
not include sales 10 the armed
forces and to certain states where
new state vehicles do not show
up in registration figures. Thus
1910 will probably prove the sec
ond highest year from sales
standpoint. In 1929, there were
407 900 cars and trucks sold In
the domestic market
Part Of this may be accounted
for by the fact that export mar
kets for the greater part Of the
year have been practically closed.
Dealers claim that losses entailed
through used cars in handling this
enormous volume has cut their
profits almost TO a vanishing point
According TO them. the ratio of
new automobiles to used /. about
10 ?. which would mean that
with the market this year absorb
ing $500 600 passenger cars. the
number Of used car sales Will bs
about 1000 900. Factory records,
on the other hand. indicate that
about IS per cent Of = nations
$4,000 automobile dealers will end
the year in the black.
From selling standpoint. 1910
got under way bolstered by the
impetus Of a rising market due TO
the upswing from 1888 and con-
ditions abroad. Dealers during
the early part OF the year en-
tered demands for federal regula-
ton Of the industry by the Federal
Trade Commission. This proposal
Was later voted down by the deal
