We have many calls during duck
hunting season for sunrise and sun
set time In various locations. Shoot
ing hours are from one-half hour
before sunrise to one-half hour be-
fore sunset. If you do not think
a few minutes one way or another
make much difference should you
happen to be picked up by Federal
game manager and charged with
shooting before or after hours, you'll
find they will bear heavily on wheth-
er you'll pay a heavy fine. Your
time of shot will be checked with
the Weather Bureau.
You can figure out the time almost
any nearby location with the help
of a card, furnished free by the
bureau, and a scale map and calipers.
AS each degree OF longitude covers
approximately 69Hs miles and min
utes time, If you are going east OF
Washington deduct 4 minutes from
the D. c. time for each 10 miles due
east to the point where you intend
shooting. If you are going west,
add the proper number Of minutes.
Remember this Is approximate. Be
sure your watch Is accurate II you
intend figuring down to the minute.
Then allow q few minutes leeway
for safety.

The United States District court

Limited in which 70 were killed and
scores injured. She was represented
by Raymond Pace Alexander
Mrs. Mason, vice president Of the

nent legislation reached crescendo
proportions in a mass demOnstra-
tion of 1900 supporters who filled
Madison Square Garden at the be-
hest of the National Council for a
permanent FEPC. The demand
grew when A. Philip Randolph
threatened to lead a March on
Washington to force passage.
Against the background of SER
ious protesters claiming that ''The
right to work is the right to live"
and on platform studded with So
cial, labor, religious and political
personalities, Randolph declared
that "in our silent, non violent
march on Washington, may we ut
ter no word of hate against our
enemies and oppressors. Carefully
phrased as was the statement, and
avoiding specificness, no doubt was
left that such demonstration is
actually planned.
Randolph flatly blamed the Tru-
man administration for failing to
put it's "full force" behind the
Chavez bill, but he added, "A fight
for FEPC has just begun" He prom
ised that relentless warfare" will
be waged against senators who
voted against cloture, naming Sen
ator Hawkes., N. j., as one.
AS if in anticipation of charge,
Labor Secretary Schwellenbach
clothed with full authority" to
speak for President Truman, as
sured that 'the struggle for this
legislation will go on with constant
Ily renewed effort" and with the
same determination as Truman's
predecessor.
Recently returned from the Lon
don session Of UNO, Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt in effect affirmed Schwel-
lenback on the world effect of
Americas attitude on job discrim-
ination. She invited the nation to
assume leadership in the world but
said that 1--WE must take steps to-
ward the future in order to bring
progress for mankind"
Sen. Chavez said he had more
support from Republican Sen. Morse
than from any Democrat. He prais-
ed highly the cooperation of the
national council. Chavez followed
Morse who stirringly repledged
himself to stay in the fight.
Seeking to allay growing appre-
hension that the NAACP might
collide with the Randolph group in
the FEPC fight, Asst. Sec'y. Roy
Wilkins expressed his organiza-
TONS pride in having been in the
fight with Randolph since the very
beginning" He pledged the associa-
tion to continue "along with him
and with our other allies until rae
ism is routed and equality prevails. I"

NEW YORK, March 9 (ANP)-|
We submit we were getting off a
pun by speaking of popular BILLIE
HOLIDAY in terms of the word +.
Holiday. This tan, tantalizing, and
definitely terrific singer appeared
in her first concert at TOWN HALL
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 16, at (
p.m., before a house that literally
hung from the rafters-that's how
packed and jammed it was. Recent
years, especially since the Esquire
magazine recognition, have found
Miss Holiday possessed of poise and
assurance one associates with an
artist 20 years her senior.
To the thunderous applause of
her fans who go for the provocative
walking Billie almost as much as
they do the -. throaty, dulcet warb-
ling Holiday, she really went to
town. Gowned after the fashion in
troduced by that clothes horse,
Marva Trotter-Louis, Billie's score
ran from the beloved Gershwin to
the zany JAZZ numbers with which
she has set the musical world ablaze
Especially was she we'll received in
the numbers II Can't Get Started
With You," and 'My Old Flame" !"
er concert was superb from the all
important angle of timing. There
was nothing long and drawn out
about the recital. Exactly As min
utes elapsed from the time Miss
Holiday walked across the stage to
the minute she completed her roper
toire with "Strange Fruit"
If we judged the concert from all
points correctly, Billie Holiday can't
miss making important money dur
ing the next two years.
Should she decide to repeat this
concert in any of 100 key cities, I'm
laying the odds that the box-office
take would be most interesting to
income tax officials. Here is defi-
mite instance readers where person
ableness and sheer stage-sweetness

handsome dividends for one-Billie

that there has been 20 per cent
increase in wages since 1871 which
will absorb $500 900, 900 in 1947. A
price rise in items essential to the
railroads, such as lumber, steel and
coal. will add to the increased cost
due to wages.
The greater operating efficiency
attained during the war carried
over into peacetime economy
should help overcome the wage in
creases granted between 1871 and
1916, amounting to 20 per cent. We
must ask ourselves, however, how
much more wages will be increas-
ed during the next year or two.
Fixed Charges Lower
We find that the S5OO.000,OOO
net income OF 1941 with the wage
and price increases which will have
occurred since that date will be
highly inadequate to meet 1947
operating expenses. II railroad net
income is to be maintained, busi-
ness activity must remain well
above the 1941 level and an in
crease in rates will be needed in
addition. Whether the public Is
in a mood TO accept such is any
readers guess.
The railroads are In a much
stronger pohition now than in pre-.
war years, since they, have used
$1,000. 900, 900 OF their war earnings
to decrease their debt. Conse-
Quently their fixed charges have
perhaps declined S2O0,000,000 a
year. They have also increased
their net working capital from a
1s41 level OF $500, 100000 to ST.
000, ,000. 900 in 1916.
Conclusion
II Is evident that railroad net
earnings will hinge on both higher
rates and an expanded volume OF
traffic. II the next several years
favor both these factors, railroad
net income should remain fairly
good. However, is II smart to bet
on the possibility OF both higher
rates and a high volume OF traffic
when railroad securities are now
selling so comparatively highf

jumped to a new prewar peak in
