 He slipped five dollars to the model displaying the gown because her coloring approached Mona,s and because she had shown uRtiring patience. The messenger boy got another five to insure prompt de- livery.
 Then Steve dropped into a flor ist's, left an order and took his way to his mother's for 8 nap.
 On the way up he recalled the necessitated other purchases and when dressing gown, a steamer basket of fruit and, some tobacco had been added he nosed the car at last toward the little Third avenue fiat.
 Maybe Mona wouldn't like his buying all these things. That idea suddenly occurred to Steve. He dashed for telephone and only by a series of threats did he get the magnificent Henri on the wire. 'Say," Steve said wildly. "slip a | note in that box, will you? Some. | thing to the effect that I'm only | lending the stuff. She might not take it otherwise, see? Fix it up you know how.

 Paris.--You will no- tice that for nidsum- nner wear. whatever category of dress is concerned, there will always be some note introduced to tighten the final effect and, whatever the nature of fabric employed, the dress has to possess a certain degree of soft ness and lishtness.
 Equilibrium is a factor which has to be very carefully studied in the process of cre- ating a dress, but es- pecially so in 1nidsum- mer frocks. It is Q quality which stamps "a dress immediately a creation or just a mere garment.
 Perfect Balance
 The light and soft touch needs to be par ticuiarly care fu l ly equilibrized in tn 0 sheer midsummer dress which, after all, Is lightness itself. It must also show perfect balance In the final en- seiAble as well as Tn details. Here the &C., cessory, more than with any other type of dress, must be made to appear as forming part of the whole and not 8 mere addition. See how in a frilled summer model all pro- portions have to be taken into considera. tion, both those of the dress and its access sories.
 I have always main- tained that even the semi.tailored type of

 The transparent pics ture hat is an ideal complement and offers a perfect balance to the light summer dress: In cases where less sheer fabric than chif- fon is preferred, then the various accessories, including of course the hat, can convey to the ensemble that touch of lightness necessary provided they are in peffect harmony.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-11-09

IN the years Jim Deering had
1 been amassing his wealth, few
were known to have received wages
from him even in seasons when
crops brought high prices. He
cheated his Negroes so openly that
they risked the anger of the law
and ran away. Even whites who
went to work for him fled.
There was difficulty with labor
each year and each year at planting
time the sheriff, placed in office by
the politically influential landowner,
picked up foOt-loose Negroes in the
county who, rather than serve time
on the chain gang for vagrancy,
usually agreed to work off the fines
the planter offered to pay. Two
years ago, at time when behring's
acres were blanketed with a stupen-
dous crop, other farmers demanded
their share of Migrants. He offered
$40 a month, but no Ochlockonee
Negro would sign, and in desperation
he forced three blackb and one
white into his car at the point of a
pistol and took them to his farms.
The white escaped and found his
way to Atlanta and the resulting
difficulty gave Dan Nichols trouble
before 1t was smoothed over.
ARMED GUARDS
The county Negroes feared Dee
ring. There were rumors that he
had armed guards to keep his
workers from running away. The
white man told of it in Atlanta, but
the planter explained that the func-
ton of the armed watch was to
protect his property. A crazy mig
GER had once set fire to a barn and
after that the patrol was estab-
hShed, he said.
THE afternoon sun beat upon the
creaking jackson wagon. No
neighbor was visible on the road to
Live Oak; they were alone in a
world of heat waves dancing on a
deserted highway. The perspiration
ran down Dee's face. Louise's polka

ONCE a young girl had hailed
" David softly from porch, and
he always passed the house when in
town, but the call was never re-
peated. Only from dark alleys still
warm with the days heat, white
men whispered furtiyely as he
passed:
"Hey, niger, want drink"
David knew that he who had
dime stepped into the allev and
passed it quickly to an outstretched
hand. A bottle was rendered and
tilted upward. There were many
whites peddling white mule made
on lonely farms and brought to town
expressly for the Saturday visitors.
In the hazy fight from the lunch
room seven Negroes eagerly watched
Fate roll two dotted cubes. Dimes
and quarters lay on the sidewalk. !

YOUNG BLOOD
Dee halted his mule in an open lot

giggles from her.

THE CLEAN LITTLE
HOUSE
In Mockingbird Alley was the
clean little house owned by Mag
nolia Holland. Each year it was
given coat of paint and when
spring and summer came the veran-
dab was almost hidden by honey
Suckle vines. ltS windows were
draped with spotless curtains and
at night heavy blinds were drawn.
1t had the air of a deserted place by
day, but when the town lights
showed bright in the distance it
became alive. Laughter mingled
with soft tunes from a radio and
Negroes came to ring the door-bell.
Near her house was a lunch room

dust of weeks and on Saturday
nights Negroes with a little money
gathered under the yellow light

These were Live Oaks GASES for

often started there, the sheriff
closed his eyes. Negroes were
needed for the county's public work
and the law could always find there

THE Scottsboro Case, the unem-

Camp Hill troopers, 49, other
struggles, have laid bare the sharp
class lines among the Negro people,
and on the other hand showed
where the various announced
friends of the Negroes stood in
relation to Negro liberation.
Previously the Socialist Party had
contented itself simply with a the
oretical denial Of the existence of
Negro question as such. But this
policy of simply accepting the con-
ditions of double exploitation and
oppression of the Negro people in
action could no longer suffice in
the face of growing struggles and
rehabilitation. The clear formula

on the Negro question, the leading

Grafton into consistent and effective
revolutionary channels, forced the
Socialists" whose whole aim is
ito avert revolution" Norman
Thomas, into direct attack upon
the Communists and, with that,
upon the liberation struggle itself.
DENY EXISTENCE
OF BLACK BELT
When the Communist Party, dur
ing the election campaign popular
lied its program and gave it con-
tent in reality by nominating James
W. Ford, a Negro worker and Com
munist leader, for Vice President,

bounds in their denunciation of the
Communists. Being the most SEN

The Socialists" concentrate their

Morris Hillquit and Norman
