is DANGEROUS TO REMOVE
HAIR BY X-RAY TREATMENT

Although X-rays will cause hair to
fall out and prevent new hair from
growing, the amount necessary to
achieve this result is likely to injure
the skin, says Hygeia, the health mag
azine published BY the American Medi-
cal Association. Such injury may take
the form Of wrinllling, soaring, dis
coloration and warty growth. and will
be permanent. There is no way Of re-
moving or covering the injury to the
skin made by X-rays.
Depilatories remove the hair close to
the skin. Depilatories. shaving. clip
ping or tweezering will increase the
amount Of hair or make it coarser.
Dark superhuous hair can be made
less conspicuous BY bleaching It with
fresh peroxide Of hydrogen.
The only safe way to remove super
fiuous hair permanently is by means Of

URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS ON
INDUSTRY FOR JULY

Bulletin No. S of the Industrial Re
lations Department Of the National
Urban League summarizes employ
ment conditions throughout the coun-
try as follows:
Reports covering a wide area tell
of two outstanding developments
among Negroes during July. One is
the unusual demand for workers in the
building trades, and the other the large
number Of laborers added to municipal
payrolls. Chicago reported shortage
of plasterers and brickmasons and in
several North Carolina cities the de-
mand was so urgent that Negro arti-
sans found employment where they
had been denied it regularly. In Balti-
more and Lexington, KY, colored con-
tractors used more than the customary
number of men and in Albany, Ga,
whose building program is the largest
in the state, save Atlanta's and Savan-
nah's, it is estimated that more than
half of the skilled and unskilled tasks
were performed by Negroes.
Prominent among the cities which
showed gains in municipal employment
is Detroit where, because of additions
during July, there are upwards Of
1900 Negroes paving and improving
streets and collecting garbage. Tulsa
added to its Negro employees in the
water and street departments and
Jersey City added Negroes to its
street-paving gangs. In San Antonio
colored janitors and matrons went to
work in the new million dollar city
auditorium.
Other noteworthy instances were re-
ported from the following cities:

cOLORED RAILWAY EN-
PLOYEE ESCRIBE S JIM
CROW ABUSES ON SOUTH
ERIN RAILROADS

In letter sent to the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Negro railway employee
who requests that his name be with
held, describes a number Of the more
glaring abuses practiced on Jim Crow
railway cars in the South of which he
knows through personal experience.
The informant of the N. A. A. c. P.
writes:
The coaches which are furnished
are in most cases the oldest in service,
badly ventilated and filthy. These cars
are known as combination cars, half
given to baggage, the other half d.
vided for the purpose of smoking and
day coaches for women. These smok-
ing compartments are more or less
filled with the baggage men and train
conductor, which forces the passengers
to stand and smoke while train en-
ployees, who are supposed to be on
duty, occupy these seats.
'It is also a common occurrence to
find that on account of the Cramped
condition Of the day coach, women are
compelled to find seats in the smoker
facing the toilet reserved for men.
There are no provisions made for feed
ing these passengers who are in MANY
instances denied the use of the dining
car even after the last call and all
white passengers have left the car.
Recently lady en- route from New
York to Tampa informed the train
porter that she would like to have
something to eat This porter spoke
to the train conductor who advised him
to tell that Niger that 'Niggers' were
not allowed to eat in dining cars in the
State of Florida. This lady was forced
to purchase sandwiches and such cof-
fee as served by runners meeting trains
at stations in the South.
Another evil practiced by both train
and sleeping car conductors in the
South, mostly in the State Of Florida,
is when colored passengers are occupy
ing space in the sleepers sold them in
northern cities they wire to some sta
ton along the line: 'Niggers in car
number -, train number - The
results are these passengers are forcibly
removed from the train and in many
cases assaulted. I cite here for your
information a recent case in Palatka:
A colored woman who refused to leave
the space in a Pullman car was thrown
in jail, forced to remain there over
night and the next morning was fined

SPECIAL PROTECTION FCA
THAT ONE YEAR OLD
CHILD

Although the one year old child
seems perfectly safe as he crawls
around on the floor, plenty of acct
dents may happen TO him. Every
mother should check over the posi-
bilities for injury to the baby when he
is playing on the floor, advises Fl. S.
Stevens in Hygeia for June.
The most common accidents are fall
ing down stairs or out of the window.
Next comes swallowing pins, buttons.
beads and other small articles that
baby may find on the floor.
Children grasp and tug at anything
within reach. The one year old may
pull down on his head anything from
the bridge lamp to the goldfish bowl.
Or he may get shock from touching
an unprotected electric socket Wash
ing machines, gas stoves, knives and
forks and the possibility of scalding
fat or water being spilled on his head
all make the kitchen dangerous for the
child unless his mother is careful.
Coal gas from leaky furnace is not
good for the lungs of so small a child,
and carbon monoxide escaping from
the running motor is another danger
that must be guarded against, par
ticularly if the garage is attached to
the house.
