Let Their Voices Be Heard!
BY HELEN KAY, Editor New Pioneer"

BY HELEN KAY, Editor New Pioneer.
THERE is an old bourgeois saying: Children
should be seen and not heard" 1t is en-
dorsed in action by the social-democrats-and
exposed by the true revolutionary movement
Our children are certainly heard Sometimes
as one sits and reads over the letters that pour
into the New Pioneer" one begins to think that
the sound is something of din.
The children of the revolutionary working
class have means Of expression, voice. in the
New Pioneer. And that voice is the only maya
zine for workers and farmers children, the only
fighter against the horrors of capitalist explota-
ton and resulting child misery IT'S true, that
their voice is only that of an infant only nine
months old and that its lungs are as yet not
luSty enough, but its tenth month of existence

the children that can be heard with leap in
circulation of from 1900 to 10000
This leap is not just a seven League boot at
fair. 1t is an increase in paid circulation--an
increase Of yearly subs Such gain in itself shows
the tremendous popularity and demand of the

Here are some remarks from tn e"Morniug =

movement. And not only that, but it keeps get

1.-THE letter of the worker is excellent! Good
information on conditions in your shop, and
particularly in his own department This is
stuff upon which shop struggle and shop organ

to Tight when you don't formulate any demands

quotations could be taken from the reviews

out our statement made above; most of our pap

but very little concretely of what TO do with the
view of developing shop struggle and shop or

Some other problems will be discussed to-

In Russia, the MenSheviks the adherents of
the social-democratic international were the last
bulwark OF CzariSm and Short-hved Russian
capitalist government; since the revolution they
have waged war inside and outside the Soviet

trial Of the Industrial Party in Moscow last year

German social-democracy has not struck single
blow against the drive on the living standards
Of the German working class and peasantry
which benefits only the House OF Morgan and
the German bourgeoisie. They have not even the
honesty of some of the old Russian nobility who
used to take part in the subjugation of their
country by Western Imperialism.
In the United States the socialist party aids
the drive Of the ruling class against the workers,
first Of all by joining in the attacks on the Com
mlnist Party which alone puts forward the pro-
gram of revolutionary struggle and organizes
the working class for it. Second, it puts forward
the revision of Marxsm and confuses the work
ing class Third, it supports the fascist leaders
of the American Federation Of Labor and helps
to cover the black treacheries of open traitors
like VOL by giving him the opportunity to lee
ture at the opening of the Rand School, ETC.
Hillquit the theoretical leader of the socialist
party of America took money from the blacklist
set of imperialist bandits-the oil barons-to
carry on a struggle against the Soviet Union.

Perhaps you've been wonder
ing what to wear with your
summer evening gowns. Velvets
seem too formal for some of the
very informal fabrics that are
cut in formal ways, or you may
be tired of velvet, as you've had
it for two or three years. Be-
cause fabrics are dull this year,
it must be something without a
bit of shine to the surface, and
of course it must be cool. So
the answer is found in the
very dull, heavy faille taffetas
that are just beginning to come
into their own.
For Cotton or Silk
With an evening gown of cot
ton pique, or of organdie, the
dull surface and heavy rib Of
faille taffeta will look right
and smart, but because it is
silky and rich, it will look
equally we'll with chiffon, plain
or printed. Because the surface
is dull, the colors are unusually
beautiful, and these little wraps
come in both pastels and vivid
colors, so that you can select
a lovely color to contrast with
your gown, or to match some
color in the print of your chif-
fon. You may buy a style

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

However, any woman must
expect some changes in the
figure after motherhood. 1t
will hardly ever be exactly the
same, and for most sensible
people the female figure after
the experience of motherhood
is more beautiful one than
before. Who would prefer a
thin, flat-chested, flat-hipped,
boyiSh form, gangling creature,
for the grand, full-bosomed,
strong limbed mother of the
race? No one but a very young
man-no one but the expectant
father, in other words, so that
is probably natures way of
working things out.
Clothes have something to do
with the preservation of the
figure during pregnancy. High
heeled shoes are dangerous, and
tend to muscular strain and to
limitation of exercise. The
question of a corset is a matter
of individual choice, and the
decision should be left to the
physician. Some women un-
doubtedly need a corset. Others
may have strong abdominal
walls and in these the corset
tends to give too much support
and weaken those muscles.
The Washington times., 1932-06-02

what can do, while carry
ing my baby, to preserve my
figure?"
Or, what can I do to get
my figure back now that my
baby is born?"
These questions bother some
women very much. And they
should not be scorned. A good
figure is the sign of good health
and of virility, and far should
it be from a mere male to re
gard this as a piece Of vanity
or fooliShneSs.
In order to insure a good
figure no special treatment
need be undertaken nor any
special exercises or massage.
All that is needed is a little
common sense and discretion
about diet and general exercise.
It may be said that most phySi-
clans do not want a woman to
get very fat before the time of
delivery. Such fat is very hard
to lose afterwards, because the
demands of a growing family
are confining and tend to pro
duce general bodily flabbineSs.
The best time to prevent this
is during the period of expect
ancy.

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Dear Miss Fairfax:
If you have ever heard of
hopeless situations, just listen
to this. Although I am almost
II ye rs old I have never had
a date, and all because Of shy
ness which I feel toward the
other sex. I have a few silent
admirers, but not more than
that.
One boy who works in a
nearby store looks at me as
though he would like to get
acquainted, and he never looks
at any other girls; but we
have no way of knowing each
other better, as we are stran-
gers. Please tell me if I am
stranded on the Island of
Spinsterhood.
MISS HOPELESS.
Good gracious, my dear, it
can't have been so long ago
since you were playing with
dolls and believing in Santa
Claus. Why this despairing
talk of being stranded on the
Isle of Spinsterhood at sweet
IT? Have patience and give
yourself a little time to get
over the shyness which is,
after all, a very charming quail
ity of youth.
One day last week a boy
wrote me a letter and said all
the girls he ever met made
him think of marines storm
ing a fort.
Plainly he was looking about
for someone whose tactics hap
pened to be less ruthless.
Only Four Years Difference
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am very much in love with
a girl who is 26 years old, and
I am just %. She claims to
love me. and I certainly love
her, but my boy pals make fun
of me and say I should find
girl of a more suitable age. Do
you think when a girl is four
years older than the man she
loves that it makes much diff
ference? 1t doesn't to us, but
it seems to make a lot to the
buSybodieS. GEORGE.
That a woman happens to be
four years older than a man
doesn't make any real difference
in marriage; but it would be
wiser, it seems to me, if a boy
of % did not decide this very
important question till he was
several years older at least.
Marriage brings such tremen-
dous responsibilities that few
boys of your age are able to
cope with them. Why not con-
tinue your friendship with this
girl and see what time will de-
velop AS for your boy pals
Comments-it's just none Of
their business.

Little joys

The joy that in life's distant sky
Is like a mist-wreathed star.

That bloom beyond the dawn!
I do not strive for starry joys
That only a few may know;
The joys I ask are candle

When Manners
Are Correct
Tipping

Dear Mrs .BeecKman:
Having made an appoint
ment at a beauty parlor and
then having been taken care Of
by the proprietor of the store,
is it proper to tip him or her,
and if so, is it proper to tip as
much as you would an operator
in the shop? G.
Formerly we always took for
granted that it was "unbecom-
ing. perhaps this is as good
a word as any. to give a tip
to the proprietor of a beauty
shop, but I have noticed that
these days seem to have gone
with many other kinds of days.
Now 1 haven't noticed that the
proprietor SHES away from this
tip, and it has indeed become
a custom to give it. There are
a few exceptions, but very few
apparently, and these will
graciously explain to us their
preference as to our not doing
this tipping.
And, as matter of fact, gen
orally the inclination is toward
giving the proprietor a larger
tip than we would give any
other operator in the shop. :.
perhaps because we are sup
posed to get more expert SER
vice from this high source!
