"But the zones are set up by the
white locals"
An employer who has an exclu-
sive contract with the white local
must clear a colored musician
through the white local. Moore
charges that this practice has caus-
ed the present deplorable dearth of
good paying jobs for Negro musi-
clans. The writer declares:
"Out of more than 10000 Negro
musicians in the nation, not one is
working with symphony orches-
ira; only two work with a movie
company; and only two class "A
night clubs will hire Negro bands"

SpOnges in Gulf

Four specific varieties of sponges
are found in the Gulf, ranging in
commercial value as follows:
sheepswool, yellow, grass, and wire
or velvet. The sponge is, in reality,
the skeleton of an animal that has
adhered to the bottom of the sea,
or to some submerged surface. 1t
stems from the most ancient and
lowest forms of marine life. When
brought to the surface, the sponge
is covered with a tenacious black
skin and the cells are filled with a
gray gelatinous matter called "gur-

Champs who had given up only
6 points to opponents prior to

Featuring a shifty back field
in the early moments of the game,
the visitors launched a first per-
iod attack that gave promise of
an early score, but soon died out
as the Panthers took possession
of th ball and rarely shared it
during the rest of the game. Able
running mates to Bledson were
John Henry Simms, the elusive
breakaway runner, German Levi,
staunch Panther Cnter and Ro-
bert Dillon, outstanding tackle.

Fox Scores AZ
Knockout

Philadelphia, Dec, (NNPA)
Billy Fox ran>his knockout string
to- forty-two last Monday night
at the Arena here when he halted
out Shelton Bell, 173, of Youngs-
town, Ohio, in Isl of the fifth
round before 1882 fans, who paid
$17,076 to see the fight.
For For, 176, this was his for
ty-second win since he started
charging for his displays OF fis-
ic dynamite, but the fans, who
are often wrong, screamed to the
high heavens that Bell quit. Be
that as it may, the Ohioan wound
up in Presbyterian Hospital with
a couple of fractured ribs and
a segerly bruised stomach.
Coming into the ring at a great
er weight than he ever carried,
Fox seemed sluggish from the
start and missed many punches
while Bell vas stabbing him with
a sharp left hand. 1t wasn't until
the third that Bill began to find
the range and his body blows
did nothing to make Bell feel
that this was the City of Broth
erly Love.
In this round Bell was saved by
the bell as he took a nine--cOunf
for the second time in the round.
In the fourth he held on and
danced away from the lethal fists
of his foeman, but in the fifth
Fox caught him with a left that
was buried wris tdeep in Bells
stomach and stretched him on
the canvas for good.

You decide not to put it to the test, since everyone is looking at you anyhow.
 A secretary says the president will see you. You pass through two in- ner offices and find a well-built man with an intelligent, good humored face seated at desk piled two feet high with correspondence. This is "Tacho" Somoza, the boss of
