 It expects good business because of defense money around the coun- try; it has not suffered much from prioritieS because most of its, ma- terial was contracted for last year; it's chief wagon painter, the fellow who mixes those golds and reds, was once kicked out of art school as color blind; the Congress of Strange People Drawn from the Ends of the Earth" has a quorum of new freaks.

"'Other., income which largely reflects faftn earnings, and to a les CT extent profits from unincorpor- ated business, and royalties during February was $1.44, or A cents more than in February, 1941. Both higher prices and larger production brought about this gain.
 During January this item was $l.47 against $l in the like 194l month.
 Wages in February were at the rate of $1.40 for every $1 in the same 194l month. In January wage envelopes contained $1.42 for every $1 in the like month a year earlier. Salary checks in February were written out for $l.21 against $l in February, l941. Salaries in January were at SIPS compared with $1 in January, 194l.
 Investment income, chiefly in- terest and dividend payments, was $1.06 in February for every $l in the corresponding 1941 month. This item was $l.l0 in January compared with $1 in the preceding January.

Minneapolis, April S-The "real income" of Mir. and Mrs. American Public during February was $1.18 a gain of 18 cents on the dollar over February, 1941, but five cents less than in January, 1942, and the lowest level since December, 194o, when "real income" was Sf.14, ac- cording to the monthly study of what people get and spend, made public here today by Investors Syn- dlcate. "Real income" of SIPS in January, 1942 had shown a gain over the preceding month for the first time since July, 1o4l.
 While living costs continued their upward trend, at an acceler- ating rate," explained Investors Syndicate, total cash incomes reg istered decline. Real income or buying power of MT. and Mrs. American Public during February, though well ahead of a year ago, is off from the actual figure of recent months.
 Nevertheless the Publics are in the paradoxical position of com manding relative higher buying power than year ago, while in- creasing Limitations are being placed on the articles and services they can buy. The difference ne- cessarily will be represented in sav- ings, investments and direct taxes.
 Despite, or rather sometimes be- cause of, controls and restriction the publics must pay higher prices for goods and services that make up their regular living cost eXpend- itures.

YMCA ATHLETE SPORTS DIRECTOR
Franklyn Danen Captures HandbaII Championship
 at Scott Field, III.

Franklyn I. Danen, former prom inent athlete at the Y. M. c. A. was home for Q three day furlough from Scott Field, IL, where he is with the 37lst Technical School Squadron of the Air Corps. He was both singles and doubles hand- ball r. M. o. A. champion in i94i, tearning up with Bob Kosersky in the doubles.
 True to form, he has just won the singles handball championship at Scott Field, with . seIni-finals group of 70 athletes across the na- ton. He won his final match in two straight sets, 2i-17 and 2i-l5 from Charles Bennett of California.
 In l94i, F'ranklyn Danen defeated the local star Matt Holloway in the finals, and Bill Kusaila in the semi- finals. He was active in other pro- grams at the local Y.
 He is in charge of athletics for his squadron at Scott Field, where the local Y. M. 0. A. private is de recting tournaments in all lines of sport, including baseball, soccer, handball, softball. and with his Y. M. c. A. experience, he has just organized e 140 man ping-pong tourney.
 He played in the basketball finals championship, and on his team, the IA ment represented 12 states in the union. He was loud iv his praise of the U.S.O. and the YM.C.A. in it's service to soldiers. He said "The nearest town, Bell vile, H., is 9 miles from Scott Field. It is a city of 28,000. All the boys go there when they get of time. There are three big U.S.O.'s run comparatively by the Catholic Council, the Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation Army and the Y. M. c. A. Nine- tenths of the boys who go to Bellville, make straight for the U.S.O.
 "In St. Louis, which is 30 miles distance, there are five U.S.O.'s and in addition, thre three city Y. M. 0. As and all eight of these units offer everything free to sol- diers. My first social occasion in St. Louis was at the central civilian Y.M.C.A. where I was invited to @ dance, and met some very lovely people. I cannot speak too highly of the Y.M.C.A. and all other units of the U.S.O. They certainly are on their toes in doing things for the benefit of the soldiers, and be- lieve me, on $21 month, 1t is ap- preciated."

Nations "Real Income" For February Up 18f Over Year Ago

large part of this rise is attributed to woolen textiles. During January civilians clothing cost $l.12 com- pared with $l in January, 1941.
