Cecil Underwood, producer of John
Nesbitt's Passing Parade" can't look
his bank in the facade. When he re-
ceived his bank statement last
month he found that his checkbook
and the balance the bank had him
credited with varied to quite some
extent. Oddly, he thought he had
less money than the bank did. A
visit to the bank for an accounting
revealed that radio production was
responsible. Timing shows at so sec
ends to the minute had become such

How to guard your
Weight and
Energy
during fcsd rationing

From all information We have been able to
gather. America will probably eat more
starchy. fattening foods this year than
ever before. That's why, now, more than
ever, you must guard your weight to avoid
putting on pounds of ugly fat. And here's
probably the easiest way to do this you
ever read about. Simply mix a GLASS; of
Welch's Grape Juice with a glass" OF
water. Drink before meals and at bed
time, and this remarkable action follows,
First, you have less desire to eat starchy,
fattening foods. Thus, you cut caloric in
take without having to suffer a hungry
moment. Second, the natural dextrose in
Welch's is quickly consumed. This regime
not only aids nature in consuming excess
fat, but increases energy at the same time.
You lose fat naturally; look and feel bet
ter. Don't take chances on gaining weight
during food rationing. Get genuine
Welch's Grape Juice today. and follow
this verified way to lose weight. The

BY VINCENT TUBBS)

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. -
There is more going on here than
meets the eye - at first glance
Although no color line is ap-
parent, Frisco has its race prob
leb." Old residents attribute the
increasing proportions of the So
called problem to the influx of
the nearly 10000 immigrants
from the South, principally the
Southwest.
With these newcomers have
come large numbers of "pimps'
and women of the evening. This
is one of the major problems of
army and civilian authorities in
the new settlement from which
the Japanese were evacuated and
into which the Sons of the South
have moved.
Close Policing
To combat the illicit trading in
human flesh, the Fillmore Dis
trict of the city is one of the
closest policed areas. Talk is
that any woman seen with a ser
vice man is taking liberties with
her freedom. Court magistrates
think only in terms of six months
for such alleged offenders.
Other measures enforced here
include rule affecting all mite
spots that service men cannot
be served liquor during the day
until after 5 p. m. and not after
IL p. m. No person, soldier OF
civilian, can purchase liquor in
package stores except during the
specified hours, $40 p. m.
Hotels permit no visitors after
IL p. m. and hotel managers en-
force the rule explicitly. No lone
woman can obtain aceommoda
tions. She must not only have
her man with her but her mar
riage license as well.
FriscO's NAACP

lewd side of the so-called prob
lem. There are community prob

which was formerly a Japanese
propaganda school.
The center personnel is making
valiant effort to integrate the
newcomers into the community
pattern but has been deluged with
he personal problems of the i'm
migrants such as helping them
find housing. Efforts to bring the
newcomers around to what is
called the way of San Francis
cans have had to go wanting.
Racial Settlements
This way of San Franciscan"
1 have been told, consists in TAX
ing all interracial connections in
stride and without a conscious
ness of ones own color.
Because there were so few col
ored in Frisco prior to Pearl
Harbor, there were few restric-
lions based solely on color.
The Chinese settled in China
town and stayed there because
of restrictive covenants; the
japanese had their ghetto, but
barred no newcomers who were
armed with the almighty dollar;
and the cOlored, in some man.
ner, pulled off to themselves in
the Fillmore district.
The Italians had and still have
their quarter, but there were no
known hard and fast rules affec-
ting the races. except in the case
of the Chinese.
Segregate Selves
However, the Southern immi-
grants-accustomed to Jim crow
and other racial bans-have ex-
hibited a tendency to establish
self-inflicted barriers. This the
old residents are combating.
Their methods are those usual
~ used in propagandizing. Oak
land recently had a mass meeting
at which shipyard workers aired
their grievances and San Fran
cisco proper had its mass meet
ing on Sunday for the same pur-
pose. At the same time the new
corners speak their pieces, they
are introduced to the way of
San Franciscans."
The process is bearing fruit but
the complaint is that not enough
of the immigrant population at
tends the meetings.
FBI Vigilance
Another interesting sidelight
is the reported interest of the
| FBI in the attitude of many col
ored toward the evacuation of the
japanese.
Several persons have told m'
that they were sorry many of tn
Japs had to fall heir to such
plight for some Of the Japs wer'
tried and true Americans. Severa
persons have mentioned the re
Iuctance with which sons ant
brothers entered the servic
knowing that they might have t
meet some old Japanese frien
in the field and DO battle unit
death.
| is said In some quarters ths
| the FBI has conducted intense IL
| vestigations of these attitudes.

P.S. P. 81. Reports
Lower Rates
More Business

Puget Sound Power & Light
comapny at present is doing
more business at lower rates than
ever before in its history, it was
disclosed today BY Frank Nc
Laughlin. President. in a detailed
report on Company operations
and policies.
The average income for domes-
tic service was 194 cents per
kilowatt hour for the year 1912,
a reduction Of about 40 percen
under 1880 and in the same per
iod the average annual XVIII
consumption per customer has
gone up rs percent.
During this period of declining
electric prices, other living costs
have mounted rapidly. For ex-
ample. Mr. Mclaughlin points out
that since 1888 food increased
as percent, rent AZ percent.
clothing % percent and coal IA
percent on a national average.
whereas Puget Powers average
for residential-rura customers
dropped 81 percent.
This record was accomplished
Notwithstanding fast-mouDting
tax bill. higher wages and in
creased cost of materials and
supplies.
For 1912 Puget Power paid |
out $4,05S,S77 in taxes. or aear-
ly 20 cents out of every dollar
the Company took in. 1912 taxes
were nearly five times those of
1880 and more than three times
as much as in 1893.
The report discloses that eff
ficient operation, increased earn
ings and recent refinancing
have improved the position of the
Company, so that now, after
decade of depression, customers,
investors and employees are in a
better situation.
"The Company has put its
house in order so that it can be
of the greatest service in help
ing to win the war and in the
further upbuilding of the terri
tory it serves, after the war"
Mr.. Mclaughlin said
'The manpower, the skill and
the resources of Puget Sound
have been completely modified
for the war effort and victory at
The earliest possible moment"
Mr.. Mclaughlin said.
A portion of the report, which
IS more detailed than any pre-
vious one, reviews the Northwest
Power Pool, comprised of all ma
or public and private systems in
he Pacific Northwest. This pool
effected for the
duration, is along the lines that
Mr., Mclaughlin urged as long
lgo as 1899.
Today. the report discloses, it
s functioning effectively in meet
ng wartime demands for power.
As Mr.. Mclaughlin points out,
There has been no Tationing of
power no waiting in line to
