Rage For Black And White
 Grows
By JANET WINSLOW

F YOU want to be stunning this sea-
 son, then wear black and white.
 Everybody that comes from Paris shows either trace or this combination of a possibility of imitation in that di- rection. The French women always, knows that black and white is a good combination to help her to be smart and American women are beginning to real ize the same thing.
 Too much black, although it always looks stylish and elegant, can be trifle heavy in effect, but when splashes of shining white are used to help it out, then lightness and charm enter imme- diately into the scheme of the dressing. A white facing on a black hat, for in stance, or a white band around the crown lifts that hat from the shadow in to the light and makes it far more becoming thing, usually, to the face that lies underneath it.
 Some of the black dresses this season. desgned for street wear, are trimmed with wide bands of white applique done in soft, fine leather. Then the white dresses for evening are trimmed with masses of black embroidery or with black beads or with black ribbons put on in intricate fashion.
 u white scarf about the throat will snap up a black costume most surprisingly. And every woman who goes in for mak- ing herself the least bit attractive will realize the charm that can be put over by means of this simple combination done in the right way.
 Some of the embroidered shawls which have become so very popular for evening wear are emproidered with white on black or with black on white, and they turn out to be among the best of these fanciful shoulder coverings. For one thing they can be worn with any sort of costume almost, and there is no danger of a clash of colorings. Then when they are worn with plain black or plain white, they always look we'll and manage to make themselves felt in the crowd, no matter how effective the rest of the dressing there may be.

But if you dress up that personality with the attractiveness of board fence, it cannot serve you.
 A woman should dress as woman regardless of her position in the world. By, birthright she possesses an advan- tage over men, and what harm in mak- ing the most of it? Within the bounds of sense and fairness, of course.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-16

Girls! Try this! When combing and dressing your hair, just moisten your hair brush with little "Dan- derine" and brush it through your hair. The effect is startling! You can do your hair up immediately and it will appear twice as thick and heavy a mass of gleamy hair, sparkling with life and possessing that incom- parable softness, freshness and lux uriance.
 While beautifying the hair "Dan- derine" is also toning and stimulating each single hair to grow thick, long and strong. Hair stops falling out and dandruff disappears. Get a bot tie of delightful, refreshing "Dander- inc" at any drug or toilet counter and just see how healthy and youthful your hair becomes.-Adv.

NEY YORK. May Hardly day
has passed in New York in the last
two months without an inflammatory
speech against pacifists and radicals
by generals of the United States ar

has shifted the attack to the churches,
which are for peace in times OF peace
and for war wnen war is declared.
OF concealed pacifist" PARSONS he

KHAN ATTACKS
u. S. SEAMAN IN
FULL UNIFORM
DisIiked Their Parade,
Say Moron Kluxers
Especial to The Daily worker)


NILES, Ohio, May 15.-Members of
the Ohio State Police, organized and
directed by the Ku Klux Khan, arrest
ed seaman from the U. S. Navy here
last Friday night during Khan par
ade for alleged interference with their
parade and took him to their khan
meeting and compelled him to kiss the
flag. The seaman was in uniform and
was escorted by state policemen.
Organized labor in Ohio for years
has been opposing passage Of the state
police law and here comes along the
nightshirt boys, after digging up an
old law allowing farmers to organize
for the purpose of protecting them
selves against horse and cattle thieves
and organize the Ohio State Police.
In the steel towns hundreds, if not
thousands, of state policemen tote
a tin badge, gun and handouts. Khan
organizers are raking in easy money
making State Policemen at several
dollars per head.
Col. E. A. Watkins, Baptist preach
er of Youngstown, editor of the Khan
organ, called the "Citizen and Colonel"
in the British Army during the World
War, which was attached to the Brit
ish Spy Service is reported organizer
of the State Police.
The DAILY WORKER, in the near
future, will expose the new White Ter
ror in Ohio and lay bare the giant con-
spiracy against labor being Matched
up by the Ku Klux Khan. Organized
labor in Ohio must demand an inves-
tigation of this armed menace and
have the law repealed. The Farmer
Labor Party in Ohio at its coming con-
vention, must make this one of the
issues of the campaign. A complete
investigation must be made or robed
and armed Khan policemen will con-
front labor when they strike against
their masters.

COOLIDGE HITS
SOLDIERS BONUS
WITH Veto AK
Says Country 0 w e S
Nothing To Vets

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Enact-
ment of the bonus would delay tax re-
lief, the foremost need of the nation,
President Coolidge told congress to-
day in special message returning
the bonus bill without his approval
1--WE have now reached a financial
position where we may tighten the tax
burden" said the president, "but if
we now confer upon class such a
gratuity as is involved in this bill,
we delay tax relief indefinitely"
The president said the provisions
Of the bill we're not in harmony with
any recognized principles OF national
finance.
Consideration for the whole country
outweighed in his mind consideration
for class.
Veterans themselves, he said, would
be better off if not burdened by the
taxes involved in the bonus bill
Certainly the country would" the
message read.
1--WE have hardly an i'll day that can
not be laid directly or indirectly to
high taxes"
The president said he could not re-
cede from his purpose to do what he
could to bring about tax reduction.
The expenditures in this bill are
against the interests of business, Mr..
Coolidge declared. We owe no bonus
to the able-bodied soldiers of the
world war. Patriotism cannot be
bought or sold.
Service to our country means sacri-
fee. This bill would condemn people
who are rich to turn over money to
those who are poor.
On a division, the house late today
voted 112 to 100 to vote Immediately
upon the proposal to override the
presidents bonus veto. Majority lead
er Longworth demanded a formal roll
call.
