NEARLY OUT OFRED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. yp) Sec
retary Roper bellevs business as. a
whole almost got out of the red In
1935,
Stressing "sustained recovery," the
commerce department head said in
his annual report published today
that "available evidence" indicates
the nation's net business losses have
been "almost completely eliminated"
In the present calendar year.
This contrasts, hj said, with net
losses of 1 0,000,000,000 in 1932 and
about $2,500,000,0 in 1934.
He dwelt on what he termed: Im
provement in agriculture; signs of
revival In capital goods; much im
provement In retail trade; a better
balanced price structure, an improved
banking structure capable of meeting
all credit demands, and & reopening
of capital markets.

BALSA, LIGHTEST
Y
First Used for Airplanes in
World War It Is Now
Found Handy Material
Composed Mainly of Air
WASHINGTON, D. O. (Spl.)
"Light as balsa" may supplant "light
a a feather" as a popular simile If
Industry keeps finding new uses for
this relative newcomer among woods
from tropical America.
"Of all the woods used In com
merce, balsa Is the lightest. Picture
a man nonchalantly balancing a log
of It, two feet In diameter and 12
feet long, on his shoulder, and you
get some Idea of how little balsa
weighs." says a bulletin from the
headquarters of the National Geo
graphlo society.
Balsa Mostly Air
"A laborer might stagger under
even a smalt log of walnut, each
cubic foot of which weighs 67
pounds; but he could handle with
one hand balsa logs 30 feet long. Al
though Inferior balsa sometimes
weighs as much aa 18 pounds per
cubic foot, the best balsa averagee
only about seven and a half pounds,
or about half the weight of cork.
"Approximately 92 per cent of balsa
wood is air. Tne rest consists ol
large, thin -walled cells containing the
air. It has a spongy texture and Is
so soft one can dent It with his
fingernail. It feels velvety and looks
rather silky, resembling pine or bass
wood. It is white, or tinged with
pale red or brown.
"The wood weighs less than cork,
and Is stronger and generally less
brittle. Cut from the trunk and
limbs of the tree, It can be had In
large, thick pieces.
"Much of the balsa that finds Its
way to the United States factories Is
Imported from Uosta Rica. There one
sees the Ideal tree. Its smooth trunk
of mottled gray and white rising tall
and straight, Its few limbs bearing
large leaves, often 14 inches across.
From a distance the tree might be
taken for a North American cotton-
wood.
Not Allowed to Mature
"Balsa Is the 'child prodigy' of the
forest, growing more rapidly than al
most any other tree, often shooting
up 30 feet In a single year. 'Easy
come, easy go,' seems Its motto. For,
untreated, It deteriorates quickly,
crumbling away like a cotton fabric
It decays so completely that one
seldom comes aoross a balsa stump
In tropical forests. The logs must
be shipped immediately after felling,
The lumberjack who fells a tree and
returns a week later to remove It
will probably find his tree dry and
attacked by horers, or warped by
moisture and exposure.
"Because the wood absorbs water
readily, lumbermen customarily give
It a hot paraffin bath. This adds
little to the weight, but waterproofs
the cells.
"Although occasional balsa trees
are found in primeval forests, usually
they spring up In the rich earth of
lowlands and foothills only after the
ground has been cleared. They are
raised successfully In plantations
that are kept well weeded. Weeding
Is essential, as young balsa trees are
so tender that vines easily strangle
them.
"Balsa trees are seldom allowed to
reach their maximum size. After
about four to six years of rapid
growth, they are felled, cut Into logs,
and hauled by oxen to railroads or
mills. A few more years' growth
might see them attain their full
height, but, as they age, their wood
becomes leas porous and less valu
able commercially. Trees 0 or 10
years old are usually too heavy to
find a sale.
"For centuries South American na
tives have made rafts of balsa logs.
From their use, early Spanish colo
nists gave to the wood the name
'balsa, meaning raft.
"Balsa rocketed Into public notice
during the world war when It was
used In the construction of airplanes,
hydroplane pontoons, and life rafts
United States transports. The 80.000
submarine floats supporting the bar
ricade In the iNorth Sea were made
of balsa.
Lines Refrigerators
"Uses for this remnrkable wood are
legion, and constantly increasing. It
is made Into everything from hat
molds In New York to shoulder poles
for carrying burdens In the West In
dies, Designers of portable theatrical
scenery hall It with delight. A tug
on a rope hauls a balsa 'stone wall
easily up Into the files, out of reach
until tha next performance. A come
dun doesn't even blink when hit with
a 'brick' made of painted balsa.
"Because of Its buoyancy, balsa Is
much In evidence at summer resorts.
It bobs on waves In life preservers;
It la built Into llfeoats, where It
serves in place or air tanks; It Is
fashioned Into decoys and water
chairs. Swimmers ride the surf on
balsa aquaplanes, while children play
with toy cruisers and airplanes made
ef balsa.
"Airplane passengers may thank
kalaa fer qu4eter rides. In cabins
lined with this sound-proofing wood,
they talk undisturbed by excessive
engine noise. Factory owners Isolate
their heavy machinery with balsa to
eliminate din and vibration. Radio
manufacturers use It In loud speakers
to bring out more clearly the low
notes that are so difficult to repro
duce. "Pianos and fine furniture arrive
with fewer scratches because their
shipping crates are lined with a buf
fer of this spongy, resilient wood.
"Balsa, because of its porous con
struction, is a natural 'flreleas cook

NEW RECORD SET
BY NEGRO EXODUS

Race Shifts Northward As
Rural Areas Are Left Be
hind for Industrial Cities
Literacy Shows Gain
ATLANTA, Oa. (TJP) Negroes r
leaving the southland In greater
numbers than ever recorded by the
bureau of the census In the past 145
years.
Publication of a government pam.
phlet entiled "Negroea in the United
States. 1920-1933," revealed a marked
shift northward of the race. A trend
from rural districts to urban centers
was noted.
"The greatest change In the distri
bution of the negro race within the
United States since 1700 occurred In
the decade of 1830-1930." the report
state.. Previous to 191B, the propor
tion of the negro population resident
In the south did not vary greatly
from census to census.
"In 1790, the proportion llvlns; In
the south was 91.1 per cent, and this
proportion Increased In succeeding
decadea to a maximum proportion of
93.8 per cent In 1830. It fell off In
1870. it dropped from 89 per cent
to 86.3 per cent from 1910 to 1930,
and to 78.7 per cent In 1930." '
Trend Is Westward
The principal direction of migra
tion has been westward, with tha
growth of the negro poplatlon within
the south taking place In the east
south central and west south central
divisions. In 1790, of the total negro
population. 88.9 per cent was In the
south Atlantlo states. In 1930, only
37.3 per cent wse In these state.
In 1930, the total negro population
was 11.891.143. or 9.7 per cent of the
entire United States population. Thl
compare, with 308 negroea In 1790.
or 19.3 per cent of the entire popula
tion. Between 1930 and 1930, the
negro population Increased 1,438.013,
or 13.8 per cent, as compared with an
increase off 1S.7 per cent In the white
population.
In 1930, there were 19 counties In
which negroea constituted 75 per cent
or more of the total population. Mis
sissippi reported eight, Alabama six,
Oeorgla two and Arkansas, Louisiana
and Virginia one each. In the 1920
census there were 38, and In the 1910
census, 83.
Fewer Till Soil
Between 1030 and 1930, the number
of negro farmers decreased 4.8 per
cent. Negroes operated 8.8 per cent
of all farm lands In the country tn
1030. There were 883.880 negro far
mers, who constituted 14 per cent ot
the total, while the negro population
represented 9.7 per cent of the total
population. Of the number of ne
gro farmers, 98.7 per cent were In the
south: 1.8 per cent In tha north, and
0.1 per cent In the west.
The value o land and building,
for farms operated by negroea In 1930
waa 1.403.948.799. which was 37.9 per
cent less than In 1930. The value of
farm products sold, traded, or used
by the famlllea of colored farm own
era In the south amounted to 1119,.
416.311.
, Negroea constituted approximately
one-fifth of all prisoners received
from courts In 1030, 1931 and 1933.
The number received from court, per
100,000 population Indicates that
three tlmea aa many negro males aa
native white males were committed
to prisons and reformatorlea. Th.
ratio for negro women waa four tlmea
that for white women.
Racial Factor Involved
"The high commitment rate all own
for negroea la probably In some de
gree due to the combination of lower
economic atatua, less frequent use of
other forma of penal treatment, and
unfavorable race attltudea on the
part of the white race," the report
says.
For the United States aa a whole,
80 per cent of the negro population
S to 30 years of age, attended school
In 1930, as compared with 83.8 per
cent In 1930, 44.7 per cent In 1910
and only 93 per cent In 1870.
In the total negro population In
1930 there were 84.439 school teach
