White Sox Get Boyd

CHICAGO - (ANP) - Roy
Boyd, slugging Memphis Red Sox
first sacker, who has held the
eyes of tie major league scouts
for the past two years, finally
made organized baseball this week
when the Chicago White Sox
bought him to play with their
Colored Springers for club.
There he will join Sam Hair
ston, former catcher purchased
earlier by the Sox from the Indian
apolis Clowns. This year these two
men were rivals for batting honors
in the Negro League.
In Sc games, Boyd had pounded
out 80 hits in 226 times at bat for
an average of 1854, fifth in the
league. His 81 doubles topped the
league, and his so hits, 1876 total
bases, Z triples, and "a runs bat
ted in rated second.
Last year he ended fourth in
batting with ia hits in 300 times
at bat for an average of .369. His
ITO total bases placed him sixth
in the league, and lis "A doubles
placed him third. He pounded out
10 triples and IL home runs to tie
for third place in these depart
ments also.
In fielding, however, he averaged
only .977 to rank next to the last
among regular first basemen.

Our city's possible inclusion in
consideration of .'tte most demo-
cratic IN America" is turning out
to be the most thought-provoking
question that our staid populace
has faced in many moons This
column asked your opinions in its
initial appearance last week. As
usual, punishable replies are slow,
but there has been discussion of
the subject in the usual public
places. Your correspondent is for
tunate in being able to hear far
more through his use of unrecog-
nizable initials than would be pos
sible by the use of signature.
These comments will be presented
to you.
In discussing the problem with
DR.. Russell Gideon, it is agreed
that proper use of the ballot is our
basic consideration. Further, he
admitted the lack of organization
in getting eligible voters properly
registered Only unsolved problem:
how to get all registered voters
to the polls on election day.
September IL will be a big day
in our city. 1t could truly be our
rgreat day. If we viii forget party
Royalties in favor of unity just
long enough to cast your vote for
Charles Stokes, candidate for Rep
resentative of the 37th District.
Stokes is able, honest, and deserv-
ing of this opportunity of public
service. His election will be a.
concrete example of the democratic
spirit in action. lending con-
gruity and tangibility to the prin-
ciples of Americanism rather than
the lip-service to which we have
become conditioned throughout tie
years. Stokey's election is within
our grasp if we will all work to-
gether. Let's not wait until it's

the accomplishment (if you get
what l mean)! Each person can be
a campaign manager: talk to
everyone you meet; question their
voting status; assist them in get

Recognition in employment is
generally accepted as the basis of
our ills in our city's democratic
society. Admitted that the employ
ment situation offers the greatest
challenge to our leadership, we
must not fail to favorably credit
those administrators who have been
fair in rewarding our efforts. Judge
Roy DeGrief is notable in this
regard.
On September IL, Roy DeGrief

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Professor Josephine l.. Rathbone
Of Teachers College, Columbia
University, believes that physical
activity is an important factor in
avoiding fatigue.
She says, "The body was meant
to move, as shown by the many
muscles we possess. The body is
more comfortable when in motion.
The muscles need increased cir
culation. Frustration and fatigue
follow long periods of sitting"
Some psychologists feel that the
body should be moved through its
full range of action every day.
This does not mean that you must
indulge in very strenuous exercises.
These motions can be mild but eff
| fective.
Yet think of the sedentary lives
most women lead! 1t is true that
many of them are active in house
work but this does not give all
of the muscles a workout.
You can begin with simple exer-
cises: Stand erect with your feet
slightly separated. Lift one arm
overhead. Reach upward from the
shoulder pit several times. Bend
the elbow slightly and twirl the
lower arm around in one direction
and then the other. Twirl the
wrist at the same time. Let the
arm drop down to the side. Do
the same thing with the other arm.
Bring the feet together. Bend the
left knee and lift it upward. Let
it flop back to the floor. Do. the
same thing with the right leg. Lie
down on the bed or on the floor.
Make circles with your feet. Circle
first in one direction and then in
the other. Take hold of the head
board or the sides of the bed and
roll from side to side. Twist in
every direction. Continue this for
some time.
II you do just these few simple
exercises daily you will find that
you are less tired. Walking is
splendid, too, If you do it briskly,
with good posture and fine
stride. and breathe deeply.
Many, many folks experience
fatigue because of physical mac
tiVity. Why not take definite steps
to remedy the human curse of too
little energy?

Oh, for the GoodOId Days!
By Violet Faulkner
Food Editor.

When you look at the food
prices we have photographed from
bills dating back to the 1900s it
reminds a person of the popular
song Potatoes Are Cheaper
:" True enough prices were
much cheaper in those days but
wages were likewise much lower.
Looking through a bound volume
of Acts Affecting the District
of Columbia, 1900, 1st Session,
56th Congress-" I found these
figures listed which would seem to
be indicative of the wage scale
during that period: Clerk, 81 900;
telegraph operator, $1,000; ele-
vator conductor. $720; skilled
laborer, male, $840, on down to
$3.50 for ordinary labor; laborer,
female. $500. The three commits
sioners in the Civil Service Com
mission each received $500 while
a cabinet officer received $4,000,
which apparently was considered
nice fat plum in those days.
Meat prices generally were a
great deal lower but it's inter-
esting to note there was little or
no difference between the price
of steak and that of wieners CAS-
Suming it was also a pound of
the latter. Porterhouse steak
runs into real money these days
but back in 1903 it looks as though
they were practically giving it
away. Now we have skinless
frankfurters and pay accordingly
for the privilege of having them
modernized and streamiined.
Bacon sold for 1S cents a pound
then whereas we pay from 40 to
79 cents for choice bacon today.
And pork and pork products are
more plentiful now than they have
been in years. A pound of sausage
cost 13 cents pound as against
80 cents on today's market. For
ID cents you would hardly get
enough oysters to carry home,
the current prices range from As
to 10 cents a pint.
So while we are paying more
for food today, at the same time
the consumer has benefited by
the changes brought about by re-
search, science, convenience, pack
aging, etc. We have come long
way from the old-fashioned gro
cery store of so years ago to the
beautiful stores of today that
offer such vast variety of de-
licious and nutritious foods along
with other essential household
needs. The results of extensive
research in food processing have
brought release from kitchen

The Chef
Says

Did you know that the eggplant
has more aliases than almost any
other member of the vegetable
kingdom? Among its cognomens
are eggapple, aubergine, mad
apple and "brinjal." Probably the
most authentic of these is also
the oldest, "aubergine," believed
to have been derived from an
Arabic word signifying peach" u
Certainly the fruit-vegetable-or
whatever it is-has been known
to Europe and India for centuries.
1t is generally more popular in
the Old World than in our own,
which seems a pity, as it has
much to offer in flavor and food
value.
The aubergine or eggplant
whichever you prefer-belongs to
the same genus of plants as does
the potato, and has an imposing
array of cousins which include
the poisonous deadly nightshade,
the edible brodina or cannibal-
apple of Fiji, the pepino, or melon
pear of Peru, and the Quito or
ange of South America. The fruits
of some of these are also used for
dyes. tanning. soap making-and
are cultivated for their beautiful
flowers.
For generations the Greeks and
kindred nations have made much
of the eggplant, usually combin-
ing it with lamb or some such
meat, or stuffing it in some way
to make a rich and nourishirN
main dish. Usually in the United
States we find it peeled. cut in
slices. and fried in batter. This
is all very well, but there are a
couple of tricks that make vast
difference in the finished product.
One is to marinate the eggplant
slices in a strong French dressing
for an hour or so before they are
fried. The actual frying should
be done in deep. boiling olive oil
rather than in any other type of
fat. i
Personally, I prefer broiled egg
plant to the fried variety. Choose
small, tender eggplants, cut off
the stems but do not peel them.
Cut each eggplant in half length
wise, making slight incisions in
the surface of each. Sprinkle
them with salt and a little cay
enne, and broil under hot flame,
basting with oil or melted butter
to which a little lemon juice and
minced parsley has been added.
Serve very hot, with the pan
juices poured over them.

When a child is slow, disinter-
ested in what goes on about him,
takes to his corner to amuse him
self with some solitary occupa-
ton, dislikes being with other
children. fails in school and gen.
orally fails to rise to an ordinary
standard-have him carefully ex-
amined by children's specialist.
Healthy children do not behave
this way. Children who are hard
of hearing often do. They can
not hear what is said, do not know
what is expected of them, and
take refuge in solitude. An ex-
animation by a specialist would
disclose the cause of failure and
once it was remedied, the child
would go along nicely.
When child cannot see, when
he cannot talk clearly, he will
fail. The lack of sight raises diff
f1culties that cannot be overcome
until sight is improved sufficiently
TO allow the child to see what
he is doing and what other peo-
pie are doing. When he cannot
talk clearly, he is beyond reach
OF other people. To get any good
out Of association with others he
must be able to talk in his turn.
When this is choked off, he is
isolated.
Any such defect makes a child
slow, backward and deficient.
No amount of drill, driving or
punishment will help the situa-
ton. The specialist is the only
source of help to such a child.
Many a child labeled backward
and placed in the slow group
could be up among his compan-
ions were his needs discovered
and treated properly. Every school
child should be examined by
children's specialist twice during
the school year, and in between
II he shows signs of repression.
Bad teeth, diseased tonsils, de-
fective metabolism, an allergy,
will slow child down and make
him appear feebleminded. When
the school physician sends home
word that child needs treat
ment for any defect, lose no time
in getting the child under treat
ment. Nobody likes taking a
child to the hospital to have his
diseased tonsils removed, but
surely that unpleasant experience
is light beside the burden the
bad tonsils place on a child's mind
and body? Surely a pair of spec
tacles are less of blight on a
child's life than mental back
wardness?

drudgery to millions of housewives.
For that we can thank food manu-
facturers who lean heavily on re-
search laboratories to create new
products. to find new uses for old
products, to develop better meth
ods of packaging, and better proc
essing. They have learned new
techiques of bringing these prod
ucts to the attention of the
American people. and of creating
a desire to use them.
Of necessity all this is bound
to add to the cost of the item we
purchase. We have come to ac-
cept these improvements and I
doubt if any of us would be will
ing to return to the old days.
There are dozens of examples to
prove the progress made in the
food industry. For example. 20
years ago nobody had heard of
prepared baby foods. Today, ac-
cording to figures released by
the Grocery Manufacturers of
America, Inc, the American people
spend more than S150.0o0. 900 an
nually for these products. These
things don't just happen. - The
manufacturers first created a de-
sirable product for better infant
feeding and then told the public
about it through extensive adver-
tising. At the same time they
made it available to them at the
corner grocery.
A more recent development is
that of frozen orange juice. This
industry has provided a new out
let for increased citrus crops and
we have been given another con-
venient-to-use product. Manu-
facturers experimental for years
trying to find a way of processing
orange juice SO it would have wide
public acceptance. When they
were convinced they had a product
people would like, they took a
gamble and launched it on the
market. AS we all know they hit
the Jackpot, today the business
has grown to an annual volume
in excess of $75,000.000. Proof
again we're willing to pay for the
additional convenience.
So while the price of fin
ished food has risen, so have wages,
labor costs, packaging materials
and countless other items that
eventually determine the retail
price of pound of crackers, but
who wants to go back to the days
when we bought crackers out OF
a barrel?

SENATE PAYROLLS

The decision of officials of the U. s.
Senate to release information as to those
employed by Senators and the amount
of their compensation is wise. Such in
formation has been available about House
members but for some reason the Sem
ators kept secret the facts about those on
their office staffs
The lack of information about the Sem
ators is not new. It has been reported be-
fore but without producing action. Since
the public, after all, pays the salaries of
those who work for Congressman, it is pro-
per for the information to be public
Moreover, in view of the recent conviction
of Rep. Thomas, for receiving kickbacks
from his employees, it makes the public a
bit suspicious and adds weight to the rea-
sons that urged full publicity.

MILITARY SPENDING

Current military appropriations total
$15,585, 100000, according to an Associat-
ed Press dispatch, which says that the to-
tai includes 81, 900, 100000 to be spent to
help Atlantic Pact nations to set up ade-
quate defenses.
The expectation is that this amount
will be reduced during the next fiscal
year. Certainly, there is room for some
reduction in the amount spent for defense.
Comparison of present expenditures with
those of non-war years suggests that an
adequate defense force might be main
tanned with less money.
1t must not be overlooked, however,
that new weapons and equipment, required
by modern warfare, cost much money and
that the future safety of the nation may
depend as much upon the development of
new weapons as upon the training of fight
ing men. If this costs more or less than
preparedness in former years, the nation
can afford to pay the bill.

STRIKE FOR WHAT?

In 1919. the leadership for which
coal miners pay high salaries was respon-
sible for a ST 100000 fine for lawbreak-
ing. The miners paid.
The same leadership in March cost
the miners two weeks pay for strike
ordered to protest the appointment of
James Boyd as director OF the United
States Bureau of Mines.
1t has failed to negotiate q new con-
tract to replace the old one expired June
30.
: It put the miners on three-day week
in midsummer with heavy loss in pay.
1t called second strike for 81 days
which ended November 10.
1t has dissipated the welfare fund
no coal mined. no 20-cents-a-ton royalty.
It insulted the head of the United
States mediation service.
The current report of one OF the lead
ing coal companies for the nine months
ended September 80, 1949, shows that on
a five-day week basis from January l to
November 9, the mines lost 80 days due to
strikes The loss in wages to the miners
in this particular company for the period
in question was ST $50 per union employee.
Labor leadership in the coal mines
has kept them closed for long intervals for
many years, and the miners loss in wages
has been enormous. Wages in other lines
Of business and industry have increased
without disastrous strikes each year.
Z The United Mine Workers long con-
tinued policy of insolenee shows the lengths
to which an uncontrolled monopoly will go
to gain its end. It has forced hours, work
ing conditions and wages on the coal in
dustry, regardless of the laws of econom-
les, that make it impossible for that indus
try under normal conditions to pay those
wages and operate at a profit. That is
part of the reason the coal industry is only
employing 100000 men and that is why
it is losing large percentage of the Amer
lean fuel business that it used to have.
Labor rates, like other commodities,
are supposed to be competitive. But coal
mine labor rates under the United Mine
Workers monopoly are not. The product
of the mines, however, must be sold in a
highly competitive field Thus U. M. w.
leadership is rapidly turning the coal bus
mess over to competitive fuels and destroy
ing jobs of miners. ah q
