Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile.

With the popularity of pa
jamas, a special group of scceS-
sories have rallied to their sup
port. Naturally, with the extra
wide trousers, something had to
be done about making them
shadowproof; hence the birth
of the pajama slip. These
follow the lines of the pajamas
but are not quite as wide in the
leg. and are cut low in the
back, too. They are simply
tailored, for there must not be
any unnecessary bulk beneath
the pajamas.
PajamaS Demand Accessories
Foundation garments are as
important, more so, than those
required by dresses, though one
can exercise their own judg-
ment as to what to choose.
The elastic girdle is a COM
Portable mode for beach wear.
Hose are worn invariably, and,
while we have not seen any in
Washington as yet, they are
being made with a minimum
of scanning and reinforcementS
so as to look we'll with the new
skeleton shoes.
These new shoes are awfully
smart, variations of the Greek
sandal, intricately strapped but
with great open spaces that
make feet look incredibly small.
These are shown in beach and
evening types, of wood, leather
and fabrics. Since pajamas
are exotic things they demand
jewelry and lots of it. the
gay colored bracelets, chokers
and pirate" like earrings for
sports, and the usual evening
jewelry that you would wear
with a gown. So far there
has been no hat designed for
evening pajamaS as they are
usually worn only at home. :.
but for sports, berets and huge
floppy strawS are worn.
The Articles Sketched
Sketched is a new pajama
slip which we found in a shop
here. It is beautifully tailored
in a good quality of flesh
colored flat crepe. and it will
add materially to the fit and
beauty of your pajamas.
The smart pajama sandals
are also from a local store, and
come in black, red, green, blue,
or yellow.

What's in Fashion?
Knitted and CrOcheted BLOuses
Directed by Amos Parrish

NEW YORK, April 24.-Once
upon a time-and not so very
long ago, either-you'd have
called them fashion-sweaters-
these knitted or crocheted af-
fairs.
Now they're blouses-because
that's the way they look. What
they're made of and how
they're made don't make a bit
of difference in fashions eyes.
And misunderstanding women
are wearing them just the way
they wear silk blouses. With
suits and with separate skirts.
Made of lightweight wool
yarns, of mixtures Of silk and
wool, and of soft isles. And
they have many of the details
of the Smartest silk blouses.
You'll find frilled collars and
jabots yokeS and sur
plice effects scarfs and
Sashes peplums and roll
collars long sleeves and
short ones.
Lace Effects
Some are knit or crocheted
in allover lace effects. Some
have lace-knit stripes inserted
just the way you'd put in a
row of narrow lace insertion.
Some are in two-color com.
binations-a light top half or
deep yoke on a darker colored
bottom section. you've seen
lots of dress bodices made that
way0
Fit Like BlOuses
They have all the necessary
darts and seams to make them
fit like blouseS. And lots faSten
like silk blouses, with buttons
and button holes.
There are both tuck-in and
overblouse styles, just as there
are in silk blouses. And, like
silk blouSes, some look quite
tailored and others dressier
and more formal.
All Smart COIOrs
It makes no difference what
color you want. You'll be able
to find it in these knitted and
crocheted blouSes. All the pale
pastel pinks and blues and
yellows; white; brighter shades
like turquoise and clear green;
dark colors, such as navy and
brown.

recently it was declared that $4,000 families in
New York City were on the lists of charity or
CARNATIONS marked as completely destitute and
in dire need of relief 1t is estimated at the
present time in New York state alone 900 900
families are affected by unemployment and in
need of assistance.
Have the unemployed anything to fall back on
during this period of increased unemployment?
Could they have any savings to carry them over
period of need?
1t is sufficient 10 recall that at the peak OF
the prosperity" period average annual earnings
of workers in all manufacturing industries in
the u. S. were only $1299.
This was only about tvo-thirds the minimum
required, according to the figures OF the U. S.
Labor Dept. for healthy and decent living"
Not having any funds OF their own, not being
in position to expect any assistance on the part
of the employed workers, the unemployed are
left to the mercy OF the winds. The sham
schemes OF unemployment insurance" maintain
ed by few firms and few unions, do not help.
In all there are 10 such plans, divided as fol-
lows
BY employers, Is; employees Jointly with en-
poyers 1850; unions, 40. (Bulletn-U S. Labor
Dept, Unemployment benefit plans in the u s.
and unemployment insurance in foreign cour-
tries, July 1881"
At best these plans affect no more than 100000
workers and even these are very little insured.
The union funds especially are source of graft
and intimidation and are absolutely Insignificant
Real Unemployment Insurance
The only means of coping with this misery
more or less adequately is thorough social tnsur-
ance for the unemployed at the expense of the
state and industries. Not only Is such q form
OF insurance not IN the realm of the impossible

A Really Bright Idea

1t is getting to be little old now, that gas
which Stimson, however, is still using-about the
Japanese military party and "the moderates"
in the Toxic government being at outs with each
other. Stin1son has been working that absurd
lie overtime. And comrade in Massachusetts
suggests that we call the bluff. He says:
Some two months ago, the army of Japan
revolted, that is, the commanders. The govern
ment of Japan was 'powerless. Then the diplo-
matte corps of Japan joined the revolving army,
then the manufacturers, the news agencies the
government officials-who no doubt were over
powered by the rebels and even the Nfikado on
the throne joined the rebellion Only the work.

But the revolt spread. 1t began when Stinasois

headed by the Japanese military party as

Milwaukee Genesis

A worker in that city of slime and slums called
Milwaukee, one of the socialist controlled cit
les, sends us the following:
"Ten teamsters were driving down West Nit
chell ST., going east, and ten Mack trucks were
going west each wanting the right of way
1.-THE Macks, being of solid steel, charged the
garbage teamsters mangling the heads of the
teamsters and the bodies of the jackasses they
were driving.
can ambulance took the men away and some
trucks took the jackasses away.
Milwaukee had started to bemoan its loss,
when along came doctor that promised to cut
the loss in half. So, taking the heads of the
asses he grated them on the shoulders Of the
teamsters
1.-THE operation was so successful that they be-
came socialist aldermen in Milwaukee, and re-
manned in office alive and fat. until the first
day of the revolution
The above is a perfectly good story that we
don't want to spoil, only we must add that these
socialist aldermen are not so much stupid
1ackasses as they are clever scoundrels

FIoed the Line Of the Hunger March
With Literature

MASSES Of workers and farmers have their
h eyes fixed on Dec and are wholehearted-
ly with the National Hunger March. Tens
Of thousands of workers are involved in this
march-through the various local hunger
marches, conferences and mass meetings.
These masses of workers and farmers must be
provided with our Neutrality-suspicious., books
and the Daily Worker, so that they get real
understanding of their problems of the struggles
ahead, and become better fighters in the ranks
Of the revolutionary working class movement.
This task is not as yet correctly carried out
by our districts We find that in many cases
in local hunger marches not one piece of liter
allure is to be seen. This is absolutely an iNper-
missable situation and must be checked at once
before it is too late.
Let every district, section unit Immediately
check up on the matter of literature: Do you
have all the pamphlets on unemployment, social
insurance, war ETC.? If you don't have these on
hand-order them at once from the Workers
Library Publishers Rush your orders! Hun
dreds Of thousands, millions of workers and
farmers must be reached with our printed word
our fighting program for unemployment relief
and social insurance; against wage cuts against
imperialist war and for the defense of the
Soviet Union!

Inconsistent Liars

From Comrade Dorothy U. OF Botheu, WASH
ington, way out West, we get the following ex-
cellent note, which we turn over for your en-
Joyment:
Dear Jorge:-Can you explain thisp II not,
who can?
Some time ago some poor trusting soul,
hoping for enlightenment inquired of the Seattle
Star through the Question and Answer coli
umn, thusly:
"Is it true that President Hoover employs
only Mexican workers on his ranch in CaInor-
MAP
Then came the answer, short and snappy:
81 cannot find record of any farm In CaIifor-
mia owned by President Hoover
Two or three weeks later, in the same CUES
ton and Answer column of the same Seattle
Star appeared this:
"Q.-'Where is President Hoover's ranch To-
cated?
AIN California
Cant they even lie consistently any more
Jorge?'
They can't, comrade! Just look at the way
they mix war and peace in Manchurfa.

He Killed Himself

Richard T. Crane is dead. And because he
was the man who signed the checks for Crane g.
Co., the newspapers are giving him send off.
The headlines say: Faithful Workers Get
Crane Stock and it's added Those Who Did
Not Have Confidence Will Not Share 100000
Left by Will"
1t develops, of course that, the faithful ones
are those who have managed to avoid getting
fired for ten long years. and the "faithless' ones
those whom the company didn't hire ten years
ago or fired since.
But that is only one funny thing. In the N. Y.
Post of Nov. 49, the Crane Company officials ir
New York are quoted as emphasizing how deeply
The old skinf1int "loved" his workers
"In fact, Mr. Cranes concern for his sss-
poyes whose income had been curtailed bv
the depression contributed to his death"
This is really tragic! The boss cuts the wages
of his workers, tben worries himself to death
because their tincome has been curtailed." This
looks very much like a case Of suicidel
