reasonable. Some mothers and
fathers in their great desire to pro-
tect their daughters-for which no
one can in the least criticize them
are over solcitous. Nobody wants
to be watched or suspected as some
parents seem to think it is their duty
to do. My opinion is that if children
are told what they need to know and
are put on their honor and are made
to feel that their parents trust them
to do the right thing, the children
usually turn out much better and
there will be far greater harmony at
home.

II. j.: The regular cold bath in the
morning is not sufficient to keep the
skin clean and healthy. Twice a
week, or preferably three times, a
hot bath should be taken. It is well
to take the hot bath before going to

with shower or pouring cold water
over the shoulders. Then a brisk rub

Beauty Answers

X. Y. T.: Here is a simple wash for
a shiny skin: Boracic acid, l dram;
distilled water, ounces. Apply to
the face frequently with a piece of
absorbent cotton, allowing it to dry
into the skin.
T. ": The feet should be bathed
daily and fresh stockings put on
every day.
c. N: The fat-free creams are not
so effective for softening the skin
as the fatty applications, but they
are free from the objections to fat.
They cleanse satisfactorily and make
an excellent powder base.
r. c.: No, warts aren't difficult to
get rid of, nor is the ordinary wart
contagious. Use the following To-
ton: One dram of salicylicacid, one
ounce flexible collodion. Mix well.
Apply with a tiny camel's hair brush
for four nights. Then soak in hot
water and remove part of the horny
covering. Repeat until the wart has
disappeared.

CHARITY TRICK
Call Conference in
Cleveland Oct. 16

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 2s.-
Mobilizing all forces in order to
combat the Community Fund Move
ment by which workers are fleeced
of thousands of dollars, the Work
ers (Communist) Party has called
a conference for Tuesday, Oct. 16,
at 7:30 p. m. at 3046 E. 4th st.
An appeal has been sent to trade
unions, fraternal clubs and other
workingclass organizations to send
two delegates to this conference,
which will lay plans for combating
the Community Fund on a large
scale.
The appeal points out that the
Community Fund drive is being
backed by some of the biggest open
shop firms in the city who compel
every worker to contribute from 81
to $40 to this fund. Much of this
money is used not to aid the work
ers, but is diverted to such institu-
tions as the Y. M. C. A. and the
Boy Scouts.

In proclamation issued at the

all Australian ports.

Attempts of the strikers to dis

cargoes were everywhere violently
dispersed by the police. Premier

today declared that the government
is determined at all costs to operate
the maritime service at maximum.
1t is expected that the 1000 spe-

CITL0W HAILED

Exposes Steel Trust at
Big Meeting
Especial to the Daily Worker

Especial to the Daily Worker
VIRGINIA, Mimi, (By Mail-De-
layed) Benjamin Gitlow, vice
presidential candidate of the Work
ers (Communist) Party ticket spoke
here on September 10Th to several
hundred workers mostly in the en-
ploy of the steel trust, on the issues
of the election campaign and the
program of the Communist Party.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one despite the spy system of the
steel trust which keeps tabs on the
activities of the iron workers who
braved the driving rain to hear the
message of the class struggle. There
was considerable applause when
Gitlow declared: eve can tell &he
agents of the steel trust present at
this meeting that the conditions pre-,
vailing in the metal mining industry
are making for an organization
campaign in that industry, that the
campaign will be started, that the
workers will learn how to fight the
steel trust and it's agents, and that
a militant fighting union will in the
near future be established in the
metal mining industry"
Speed Low Wage.
Gitlow, speaking of the metal
mining industry said, Give years
ago there were 10000 workers en-
ployed in the Mesaba Range, today
less than 5000 workers on the
range turn out more tonnage than
five years ago. The steel trust that
owns the mines, maintains a big
spy system to terrify the workers
and to keep them away from organ
ization. The wages paid by the
companies are from $3.50 to $3.50
per day. Thousands of miners have
been eliminated from the mines. The
introduction of machinery has been
costly to the miners in the industry"

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-The working
class section of Paris has assumed
sullen mood that has awakened

The price of commodities, chiefly
food, has increased more than so
per cent since last January The
government is trying to avert seri-
Gus demonstrations by assertions
that it will attempt to prevent"
profitteering in food and try to fix
prices.
