root beer? Take my advice and
don't. The neighbors will either
have the police upon you for set
ting off explosives or you will try
to drink the finished product, not
because you like it, but because you
have so much time, labor and mon

possibly afford to throw it down the
sink where it belongs. Either way
the results are very discouraging.
Those are just a few items-l

Z. .. HoIIunder Is Named
New B | s Price Chief

Washington, D. C.-Ewan Clague,
Commissioner of Labor Statistics,
named Edwan D. Hollander to sue
ceed Lester S. Kellogg as chief Of
the BIS Price and Cost of Living
Branch.
Mr.. Hollander, former economist
with the U. S. Employment Service
and the War Manpower Commis-
sion, joined the Labor Department
staff in 1946 after serving with the
Navy in World War II.
Mr.. Kellogg is resigning from
government service to accept priv
ate employment.
A sensational jump in retail
prices of food production between
mid-August and mid-September was
the major factor boosting the con-
sumers' price index to record
high, 164 percent above the 1885
80 level, the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics reported on the basis of
preliminary estimates.
The index as of September 18th
stood at a level IL percent above
a year ago, % percent over the
prevailing prices recorded for June
1916, and &c percent greater than
the level of August 1889.
The price report came on the
heels of another BIS release, re-
ported in an earlier issue of the
news service, showing that real
weekly wages of American work
ers had dropped SIS per week over
the two-year period since VI Day.
Thus, further drop was recorded
in September as the cost-of-living
spurted up once more.

Well Folks:

Thanksgiving Day again! Did you

that much too often we take our

granted. We don't stop to think of

sight that went into bringing about
some of the simpler things of life
as we live it today. For instance

BEER. Send or come down to RED

a lot simpler than the old away of
making it at home? Most times it

you flat.

CAN TELL IF 1T WILL
BE BOY OR GIRL

New York (JPS).-Predictions
of whether an expectant mother
will bear a boy or a girl can be
made by two tests, one chemical,
the other microscopic, according
to doctors H. E. Nieburg, H. S.
Kupperman and R. B. Greenblatt
of the University of Georgia
School of Medicine. The chemical
test determines the ratio of two
kinds of hormones present, FISH
and LII. An excess of the latter
means it's going to be boy. The
microscopic test calls for a study
of the tissues that line the uterus.
When the types of tissues are
definite the doctors say they can
predict, with an accuracy of 85.4
percent, whether the baby will
be boy or a girl.

of this country within the next

Miss Sandoz traces three gen.

ans, beginning with disillusion-
ed veteran of the Civil War, his
son, facing similar, but more ON
inous problems after the first
World War and his grandson,
wounded in World War Two who
sees the rise of a token Hinden-
berg" to the Presidency some time
after 1948, followed closely by an
American Fuehrer. Says reviewer,
Nathan L. Rothman, in the Sat-
urday Review of Literature: ut
is a haunting nightmare. 1t is
reminiscent, it is not impossible,
it is not inevitable. That is the
thought that clings still to the

he sighed, "that means at least
$4,000 for the FIVE months l usu-

"But how can you possibly go

NOT GOOD
When Maurice Schwartz, dlrec-
tor of the Yiddish Art Theatre,
was playing in Warsaw just be-
fore the last war, he was having
dinner in a restaurant when ne
snotted "landsman" from the
USA. Anxious for some news
from back home. the actor-man-
aeer invited the American lands
man" to his table.
Mr.. Schwartz: What's new on
the Avenue? How is Ben Ami do
ing with his new play?
Landsman: Oh, that play was a
flop-closed after two weeks.
Mr.. Schwartz: Waiter! Bring
the gentleman a nice juicy steak.
Landsman: And the company
that took over the Public theatre
has been doing so poorly, the ac-
tors haven't received their full
wages in months.
Mr.. Schwartz: Waiter! Bring
the gentleman some fine dessert
and coffee.
Landsman: But let me tell you
something about Menashe Skull
mix. He is terrific! He packs
them in every night. You can't
even get standing room in Skull
nik's theatre.
Mr.. Schwartz: Waiter! Bring
the gentleman his check!
Tact
Bertha Kalisch, beautiful and
stately star of the Yiddish and
American stage, became greatly
perturbed about her looks as she
got on in years. Her photographer
in particular began to feel the
brunt of her temperamental
moods. One day she was very
unhappy over set of photographs
taken of her and she was furious
with the photographer,
"What's happened to you?" she
cried. "These pictures are awful!
Where is that fine technique you
had ten years ago."
"Well, you must remember,
Miss Kalisch," the tactful photo
grapher snapped, ''1 am ten years
older now"
SHOW MUST GO ON
There is an anecdote told about
the late Samuel Goldenburg, who,
one evening during dramatic
scene on the stage, drew his pistol
to shoot at the villain. At the
proper cue the romantic star step
ped back two PAGES, threw his
cape casually over his shoulders
and began to fire away, only to be
frustrated by a stubborn stage
pistol. In vain Mr.. Goldenburg
squeezed the pistol again and
again but no shot was heard. He
quickly took control of the situa-
ton and drawing himself to his
full stature he threw the pistol
aside and began to shout at the
villain "You scoundrel! Shooting
is too good for you. You should
be hangedl"

which attracted wide attention,
such as weavers, basket makers,
sand painters, and similar crafts
men will be back this year, and
all in all, there will be many more
