King Tut and the Egyptian col-
lection, but when such outstand-
ing things of historic interest are
shown as the original tablets of

the Jews leaving Egypt with
Moses, aftor their bondage, one
has to say something about it. In-
cidentally the tablets of Amen-

More and more interest is be-
ing taken in the coming Braddock-
Louis fight at Chicago next Tues-
day night, with the major part
picking the Detroit Bomber to
win easily. While we wouldn't
take sides against any of them
for the world, we would like to!
have a little money to lay on the
line backing the present champion.
He's not quite the ham and egger
most fans believe him to be, and
Joe Louis isn't quite the man they
think him. Leaving ourselves
wide open, we unanimously pick
James J. to win. He won't walk
away with the bout, but Louis
can't think fast enough to beat
him. Tough the fight can't be
between Braddock and Max
Schmeling, the two best with an
edge given the latter. However,
the fight wouldn't have the draw-
ing power the moguls hoped for
and therefore never came off.
What if Schmeling had won the
title and tucked it back to Ger-
many with him. So what? The
title is going to have to leave the
United States some time, so why
not now? Max has a better right
than anyone else to get a shot at
the title, yet it is thrown in the
lap of the man he. knocked colder
than kraut last year and c uld
do again anytime they met. While
we are an American first, last
and always, the United States
hasn't a monoply on the title and
if the big boys pass up good men
because they fear foreigners might
lug the title back to their coun-
tries with them, the trame may as
well fold up and all start tiddle
wink tournaments.
The Dads club is to sponsor a
donkey baseball game at Munson

worth.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa—Two thous-
and special police have been
sworn in by Mayor Daniel Shields
in a determined effort to prevent
any further interference in th«
orderly procession of handling the
strike situation that has 'kept this
city torn asunder for several
weeks and which has brought
about the. death of several and in-
juring of scores.
Last nighjt two separate meet-
ings, representing the two sides in
the present controversy were
held.
Mayor Shields states that no ef-
fort will be spared in preventing
the city from being taken over by
strikers or sympathizers. Liquor
sales within a radius of twenty
miles of the town have been or-
dered stopped.
A vigilance meeting was held
last night and was attended by
1,000 persons.
Texas Leading
Production Of
Carbon Black
When the Dallas
stopped
(Continued on Page 4)
WASHINGTON—Texas led the
United States in carbon black pro-
duction during 1936, producing
333,906,000 pounds of the total
production on the country of 411,
345,000 pounds. This gave Tex-
as 82 percent of the total produc-
tion of the United States. Louisi-
ana was second ranking state with
53,201.000 pounds.
These two states producted sub-
stantially all of the carbon black
of the nation, a very small pro-
duction coming from Oklahoma
and Wyoming. Of the Texas pro-
duction the Panhandle district ac-
counted for 321,576,000 pounds
and the Breckenridge district for
12,330,000 pounds.
At approximately 4c a pound at
point of production total value of
carbon black produced in the Un-
ited States was $16,000,000; to-
tal value of Texas production was
$14,000,000.
Production in the United States
as a whole was 17 percent above
that of 1935; the increase in Tex-
as' production was somewhat larg-
er. Stocks at plants were redu-
ced materially during the year
due to increased demand.
A total of 283,421,000,000 (bil-
lions) of cubic feet of natural gas
were burned during the year to
produce the carbon black. Aver-
age yield of carbon black per 1000
cubic feet was 1.45 pounds.
