Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAVMLE

II I were shopping for my
mother, as I often do, and she
needed a semi-formal dress, I'd
buy her the one we have
sketched today. She is a mod
ern mother who has q job, but
not the ultra-modern type, for
she will not wear things she con-.
siders extremely young, and she
is very conservative in her
tastes and actions. And be-
cause I think many women
have the same needs that she
has, I'm going to tell you why
she would like this dress.
In-Between Type
Some jobs require quite a few
clothes for public appearances,
as does the job my mother
holds, she must always make a
good appearance, and give an
air of dignity. So she would like
a dress Of black velvet. It is al
Ways formal, regal and lovely,
and it is suitable for any semi
formal occasion, but also for
really formal affairs. This
dress may be worn to teas, to
dinner, to the theater, and for
all the long list Of occasions
that we have been calling either
Sunday night" or IS o'clock"
Adjustable Waist
The sash makes the waistline
Of this dress adjustable, as it
ties from the sides, or all
around. The hip section is not
too bias, but will conceal a line
that may be too full, and the
top section is also cut to be kind
to a woman who has rather a
large bust. But perhaps the
best features are the trimming
features, for the dress is not
just a plain black, for it has life
to it, and it has youth, in spite
Of its many qualities that make

or one Of larger proportions.
Rhinestone Studded
It's hard to decide whether to
call the yoke silk net or lace, for
there's a small checked effect in
it, but it is studded all over with
Well-SpaCed rhineStOneS. Qleam-
ing not too bright against the
dark background. Then there
are the little short sleeves, not
too tight in case arms are a bit
large, and the sleeves are edged
in a design OF the slightly dulled
rhineStoneS. With covered shoul-
derS, this gown may be worn for
more occasions than if the shoul-
ders were bare. and its formal
ity of fabric and trimming make

now trying to bring about means in

Horrors of War Told

CBy An Ex-serviceman.)


LOS VEGAS, Nev.-What does the
young generation know about war?
Most of them get merely the motion
picture version. which is like a
painted ship on a painted sea-a
shadow war on shadow screen.
Movie war is war with the horrors
extracted and great gobs Of romance
thrown in. The explosions don't
sound genuine. Also we all know
that the dead men are only fooling.
Furthermore, one does not smell
the corpses on the movie screen.
One does not see his buddie blown
to bits. One is in no danger from
being bombed from above or mined
from underneath, shelled from the
front and from the rear-aS hap
pened to many Of us; riddled with
high velocity bullets and shrapnel,
gassed crushed by tanks, scared to
death by flame throwers or killed by
disease
/ might also state here that in
the files of the War Department are
several other. novel ways of killing
workers that equal and even surpass
the aforementioned horrors.
Us ex-servicemen better wise up
and when they call for us to fight
against fellow-workers in other lands
to make the world safe for Wall st.
let us line up with the. working class
and fight our real enemies, the
bosses.

Daily Worker:
We are writing you this letter on

We live a pretty sheltered life here
and up to now have felt the crisis
only through our friends and the
papers. However, the past year we've
seen the government economic along
lines that hit us badly
Lower appropriations has meant
the loss Of jobs for many Of us. We
have no automatic increases of SAL
aries and as a result are almost COM
pletely at the mercy Of the army
officers of the base. Most of us have
not received increases in such long
time that we're in a hopeless state.
And we surely need them,
At least 1900 Of us are ex-
seryicernen. About one-third to one
half of the men are unskilled. These
ratings receive an average salary of
$23-$27 per week. Try and support
a family on that
Up until last week instead of hir-
ing additional men that were needed
they used army prisoners. And
Hoover has the colossal nerve to ask
the bosses for more employment for
the workers. There's a rumor here
about a wage cut to take place soon.
And no measley one at that, but Is

of army officers are going to be fired.
However, we certainly are not inter-
ested in these government tools.
We are always the first ones to be
requested for donations for the graft
ing unemployment funds, salvation

All these things are making us
wake up and the red movement is
being discussed throughout the base

Hundreds View Bodies.
The bodies of the two martyred
workers are now on view at the hall
of Branch No. of the Unemployed

past two days, white and Negro work
ers have come from the remotest
sections ON Cleveland to pay their
revolutionary respects to the two
murdered workers, who died in the
fight against starvation. eyictions, for
unemployment relief and for uncon-
ditional equal rights of the Negro
masses. An honor. guard of white
and Negro workers have stood at at
tention beside the bodies day and
night.
The Communist Party, the League
Of Struggle for Negro Rights, the
International Labor Defense and
scores of other working class organi-
cations have denounced the murder
ers of these working class fighters
and called upon their memberships
and the entire working class of Cleve-
land to turn out in masses for the
mass funeral.

Thousands of white and Negro
workers have attended the numerous
protest meetings held nightly
throughout the city since Tuesdays

workers have expressed the greatest
indignation against the murderous
police terror with which the. bosses
are trying to crush the struggles of
the unemployed for the right to live.
Speakers for the Communist Party,
the Unemployed Council, etc, have
called upon the workers, employed
and unemployed, Negro and white,
for the most vigorous resistance to
the growing boss terror, and for the
protection of the Negro workers who,
in Cleveland, as in Chicago, were es-
peciany singled out for the bullets of
the police. Speakers have all stressed
the necessity of the white workers
actively supporting the struggles of
the Negro masses against special per-

rights, including the right of self
