SCOTTSBORO BOY WRITES
LETTER TO THE I. L. d.

II am also glad that we will
have a visit from our kinsfolks,
Sunday" writes Andy Wright,
one of the nine Scottsboro boys,
in a letter to the International
Labor Defense organizer for the
southern district, expressing his
appreciation Of the visit the In
ternational Labor Defense had a.
ranged between the boys and
their parents. The boys are
weary from the long confinement
in the death cells every hour Of
the day, and denied all opport-
unity of outdoor exercise but
they feel confidence in the Inter
national Labor Defense. About
the Supreme Court acceptance Of
the appeal, Andy says, II thought
that everybody on earth should
lave rejoiced (at) our good
news
At this juncture, however, the
International Labor Defense fac
es a most serious shortage Of
funds. With the greatest bur
dens in the history of American
Labor on its shoulders, and with
inspiring victories in sight, the
need of money to carry on the
Scottsboro campaign is now so
pressing that a direct appeal is
made to the working class Of the
United States.
Help the International Labor
Defense now. Send funds to the

Mr.. Ford characterized the Dies

100, 000Negro workers who have

who dare to take a stand for the
rights Of Negroes. The Circuit
Court of New York recently up

August Yokinen, Finnish work

pledge to the Communist Party,
Of which he was a member, to re-

periority. George Stalker, an
other worker with a white skin.
organizer for the Communist
Party in Omaha, has just been

of holding i~nterracial dances in
Omaha and defending a Negro
worker who had been arrested
for attending them.

GLORIFYING

This is a year for interesting
hair.
II yours is still uninteresting, it's
your own fault. You should do
something about 1t.
Just as the new clothes outline
your figure neatly, showing It off
to advantage, so your new couture
should give you a beautifully sculp-
tured head and frame your face
becomingly.
II you stick to bobbed hair, with
no curls In the back take a look
at one of the new saw-tooth, wind
blown bobs. This thins the hair
where It is too thick, fringes the
hair so that 1t makes a very soft
forehead and over-the-ears line.
The back is delightfully."- informal
looking, but nicely precise. That
Is achieved by perfect cutting.
Get your hair off your forehead,
II you possibly can. New hats
seem wrong when hair shows on
the forehead. Moreover 1t Is a year
for placid brows. Nothing gives
this quite SO much as a forehead
free from disturbing mops of hair,
If you have bangs, and they still
are worn, make them delicate
fringes. And irregular, II you are
over 20.
II you have couture that has
pleased you for years. there Is no
particular reason why you should
change. But Vt is a mistake to
think you cannot find new Golf
fure that would be just as pleas

Spring Is the time for high adven-
ture. You catch just as much of
1t as you set out to. Sometimes

However you wear your hair,
