We normally have a little
difficulty getting a paper out
during a short week, such as
this one, when Monday was a
holiday, but when we are both
cred with gas problems in adj
dition, it is just a little more
nerve-racking. - -
We shouldn't complain, how
ever, since large percentage
of the citizens OF Hardin are
having gas shortage troubles,
and many with more serious
difficulties than our own. Our
shop is warm enough, but at
times we have a little difficulty
getting metal hot enough to
cast Linotype slugs.
For theme song of the week,
we vote for "Babv, It's Cold
Outside" And, incidentally, the
same can be said for the inside
of many homes here the past
few days.

the winner for an appearance in
England against Lee Savold early
next summer.
Jack Solomons' rags-to-riches
story began in London's Petticoat
Lane on Dec. 10, 1900. His life
has been a truly exciting story, so
much so that he has earned for
himself the enviable title of Mis-
ter Boxing, together with the hon
or of being mentioned in the same
breath with such great fight pro-
moters as Tex Rickard and Mike
Jacobs.
The first British promoter to
smash the American monopoly on
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship, Solomons has been connected
with promotions in Stockholm,
Paris, Barcelona and Dublin.

that you must also be a great

Census Bureau
Notes More Rapid
Race Growth

WASHINGTON - The Negro
population of this country has
grown at a more rapid rate than
the white population in the last 10
years. According to figures re-
leased here Wednesday by DIR. J.
r. Houchins, census bureau special
list in Negro statistics.
The figures show that between
April, 1910 to April 1947, the nom
white population increased 11.6 per
cent against the white increase of
TO per cent. In round figures, this
increase is from 13,454 ,405 to 49,
017,0O0. Negroes make up nearly
all the non-white population,
though American Indians and Ash
atics are counted in the group.
Another interesting set of fig
ures revealed a greater relative
improvement in the average income
or earnings of Negroes. From pre-
war 1889 to 1948 the median earn
ings of Negro males rose from $500
to $1,000 year, while for whites
it was from $1,000 to $4,000 a year.
During the same period, non-white
women received an increase from
5000 to 500 against the $7OO to
81 900 for white women.
