OlAtANCl ludII>iIlOAS III hdJIOuCl party affairs at this time point to tie election of Herbert Hoover for President and Senator Charles Cur tis for Vice President
 The Kansas City JOURNAL-POST commenting upon the record of Sen atcr Curtis said recently:
 There is no more beloved mem ber Of the Congress. There is ny man who knows and understand better all sections of the republic and is more sympathetic with thei. problems. There is no living man who knows more abotut the laws and why they have worke dthan Senator Curtis There has been no other person who for so long q time has looked with serene, uncloudcd "lS'OI dI tHc pIOUIS1lS VI lHG HdCAOn.

 Says the Atchison Daily Globe, "It vas good nomination. the best the Republicans could possibly have made inproviding a running mate for Hoover"
 A special article in the Wichita
 Eagle says: Curtis will supply whatever deficiencies might be laid to the door of Hoover, whose main handicap, many believe, is his lack of political training."
 From Oklahoma comes the state 1lent that "The nomination Of Charles Curtis as Vice President nay have a decided effect on the electoral vote of Oklahoma Ever since he went to Congress, the peo plr of Indian Territory and Okla h0na have looked upon him as pc cr'iarly their representative. The Ircian vote in those sections have not been heavy but according to th.A same writer "Charles Curtis has h. dian blood. He is the first candi~ dnte on a national ticket to boast Gescent from the aborigines. And the Indians all know about him and respect him. They will be eager to vote for him."

ing the massage.
So much for the almond meal
and Sweet Almond Oil treatment.
Now for some additional sugges-
tons regarding dry skin.
Those who have an excessively
dry skin will find a liquid or paste
rouge more easy to apply and far
more attractive after il II on. Dry
rouges have a tendency to scale
on the very dry skin and Of course
this destroys the illusion of beauty
we are all trying to create.
Paste rouge is easy to use once
you get the knack of il and blend
ing is simple If a slight coating Of
sweet almond oil or cold cream IL
left on the skin. Paste rouge has
an oil or cream base and So not
only blends more easily over a
cream base but eliminates the
dryish look that dry rouge gives
70 this type Of skin.
Liquid rouges need slightly diff
ferent treatment. Before apply
ing liquid rouge, moisten the
cheeks the tiniest bit with water,
apply a small amount Of LIQUID
rouge. dip the ~hnger-tips in cold
water and smooth them lightly
over the cheeks to insure perfect
blending.
AS soon as the liquid rouge IL
applied, il begins to set, and SO
you must work rapidly to smooth
it out before it becomes spotty on
the face.
Both paste and liquid rouge gets
brighter after il Is on a few mo-
ments, so much less il needed than
dry rouge. IL also lasts much
longer.

Then the face should be moist
ened with cold water and the al
mond paste smoothed over the
skin. A gentle massage, which
should last for three or four min
utes, serves to rub the almond
meal into the pores and too
loosen all dust and Crime from
the skin.
To emove the paste saturate a
wash cloth in cold water, then,
without wringing 1t out, hold the
cloth to the face. A little Of the
almond paste comes off each time
this is done. Or. uou can cup the
hands, ill them with cold water,
and then hold them to the face,
repeating until most of the paste
has been removed The remainder
can be wiped off with a wet wash

The face should now be patted

Negro Reactionary
Delighted by Letter
From Herbert Hoover

Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, one
of the many reactionary Negroes
who did the republican party's dir
ty work, received one of the many
mimeographed letters sent out by
Hoover's secretaries, in apprecia-
ton of her smoke screen of lies with
which to fool the Negro masses.
Although she is only one of the
millions of capitalistic tools that
received one of these pieces of pa
per, he considers it a great honor,
because, it was personally" signed
by Mr.. Hoover. Mrs. Bethune's in
fluence and work toward the election
of Herbie to the presidency, have
been consistent and far-reaching.
With characteristic lying and thoro-
ness, she has done much toward
keeping the minds of the Negroes
of Florida and other states, polluted
and true to the republican party.
She also happens to be one of the
traitors, that attempted to white
wash Red Cross brutality to Ne
groes in the hurricane area. The
letter reads as follows;
81 am grateful for your message.
I wish to express my appreciation
for the service which you and your
colleagues have given to the great
cause of the republican party, and
friendship you have shown me.
With kind regards, am,

Marine INVADER
killed; SANDING
Offered BRIDE
Well Paid If He Will
Betray His People

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a sea-
soned hand in bvtcherino Latin
American peoples for Wall Street
imperialists met his end last week,
when Gunnery-Sergeant Charles
Williams of the U. s. Marine Corps,
was killed in battle with the Mica
raguan National Independence army
of General SANDING (called "bandits"
by the capitalist press) in Nueva
Segovia province of Nicaragua. Will
liams enlisted in the U. S. army in
1912, transferred to the Marine
Corps in 1915, and took part in the
massacres of the population when
U. S, imperialist forces occupied the
republic of Santo Domingo.
Try To Bride SANDING.
Dispatches from Managua reveal
that the step-father of SANDING,
persuaded" by the marines, is on
a journey in Yankee airplane to
reach General SANDING with letters
urging him to surrender and be-
come a traitor like Aguinaldo, the
Filipino, did 80 years ago, and as
Moncada, the 'liberal," did recently
in Nicaragua.
One letter is from Sandino's moth
err, designed to work upon Sandino's
sentiment of filial affection, and the
other letter is from Admiral Sellers,
in charge of the imperialist inva-
sion, designed to convince Sandine
that he will be well repaid by the
imperialists if he surrenders and
turns traitor to his people as Mon
cada has done.
Results of Fake Election.
The fake elections managed by
the marines have been finally sum-
married. by the Americans who ac-
tually counted all votes themselves
and decided how many each of the
two parties they allowed to run,
should have. They would not per-
nit any other party to enter the
elections than the liberals and con-
servatives.
According to the report of these
scoundrels, the liberals got 77,676
votes, the conservatives 56,987
votes; and the new congress will be
made up of imperialist lackeys from
both sides, with the liberals having
II senator's and 10 representatives;
and the conservatives IL senators
and "a representatives.
