cause, though the oily skin may tan, it

best way to cure sunburn is to avoid
it by wearing broad brimmed, dark hats

Falling Eyelashes


Dear Miss Leeds: For the last few
months I have been troubled with fall
ing eyelashes, losing at least two every
day. Previous TO this my eyes were ex-
amined by an excellent optician, who
found the vision to be perfect. I have
tried using vaseline on the lashes every
night, but with no favorable results.

an indication that ones general health

Cake Decoration.

A very dainty cake decoration ap-
peared recently at a children's party.
The cake was decorated with citron,
which had been placed in the oven be-
fore cutting until heated through so
that it could be easily sliced and then
cut into thread-like strips from the out
side for the long stems, which were
arranged artistically on the iced cake.
Thin, oval bits of green citron were ar
ranged to simulate leaves. Any kind Of
candied fruit may be used to form the
flowers and buds.

in this direction until adequate and

l. "A BOR DAY. 1880
By WILLIAM GREEN
President, American Federation of Labor

The celebration of Labor Day this
year will take place at period when
the unemployment situation is very
serious indeed. About one year ago
when we celebrated Labor Day in
1929, it was clearly evident that
decided reaction had set in and the
country was approaching most un-
favorable industrial condition. Each
month the situation has grown stead
lily worse until now we find that there
are more people unemployed on La
Dor Day, 1880, than at any similar
period since the World War. Natur-
ally this problem of unemployment
overshadows all other problems.
Fortunately, the American Fedora

education and efficiency.
We hold that unemployment occurs
because of the failure of industry and
society to deal with it and to apply
a remedy. The definite demand of
labor, upon the celebration of labor's
national holiday, is that industry and
society Immediately seek and secure
practical solution for the problem
of unemployment

to the judgment and opinion of all
classes of people associated with in
dustry and industrial enterprises. In
addition, the organized labor move
ment is recognized as strong force
in opposition to any reduction in
wage standards and conditions of
employment. 1t has exercised pow
erful influence in the maintenance of
wages, hours and conditions of en-
ployment. This fact has increased the
confidence, faith and loyalty of the
members of organized labor in the
efficiency of the American Federation
of Labor.
While the gravity of the unemploy-
ment problem holds a dominating

have had a tremendous moral and re-
