With Miss Joan Bennett. grooming

She hesitated a minute before she

At that moment, young Ditty, Joan's

S, grown up enough to have the same
shampoo as her mother. She has the
same-well almost the same-man-
icure, too, when she doesn't bite her
nails.
Since so many older people cannot
keep from biting their nails, it might
be interesting to follow the Bennett
method for breaking this habit. Ditty
outgrew the gloves made for children
to wear at night to stop nail biting.
So mother Joan bought her a pair of
boxing gloves. and puts them on each
night to protect her nails. Ditty finds
that boxing gloves can't be removed,
and there is no fun chewing them.
All of which shows how seriously Joan
Bennett follows the details that give
carefully groomed appearance.

South opened the bidding with one
heart and North bid two clubs. East,
who must be congratulated for either
his courage or his foolhardineSS, came
in with a two-spaGe bid. In view of
North's club bid, South's hand now
assumes definite possibilities. He
showed his diamond suit at the three
level. West went to three spades,
which was passed around to South.
who bid four clubs. 1t is unnecessary
for South to cue hid the spade suit.
BY his bidding. he has almost posi-
lively shown a void in spades. plus
strong hand. West bid four spades.
North should jump Immediately to six
clubs. If South holds the ace of
hearts, he can go to seven. Lacking
that, he must pass. With a spade
opening, however, seven will be made.
1t is true that East can draw the same
differences as North from South's bid
ding, but he probably still will lay
down the king of spades. hoping
against hope that South has single
ton.
North, however. visualized a rosy
future for the hand. In his minds eye,
he saw his partner opening the ace
of hearts and continuing with small
heart for him to ruff. In fact, there
was even the remote chance that he
might make all of his small trumps,
plus South's three aces. setting rash
East 900 points. Or. if South didn't
hold the ace of clubs, he and his part
ner would surely take the ace and king
of diamonds. He doubled four spades
firmly.
East had no difficulty whatsoever
in making four spades North failed
to visualize the possibility of South's
not holding the ace of hearts. Nat
urally, South can't take the double
out. East and West are vulnerable
and South is void in spades. The set
may be l,400.
Even if South does not hold the
ace of hearts, North, old pal, cannot
imagine any combination of cards in
his hand which he would still bid the
same way that would not give you

Use of Sour Milk.

1t may seem like disaster when
the milk turns sour, but sour milk is
good food and should never be thrown
away. Some of the best cooks go sc

ately for special uses. Perhaps you
call it clabber, or bonny clabber, OF

ham; remove the skin; cut the fat in
squares, placing it on top: add one
bay leaf. a few cloves, some chopped
onion, a little sugar and some dry

cook for two or three hours, or until

warfare is nothing less than racial de-

While imp is rooted in the Latin and
Greek, we have it directly from the
old English word imp, meaning a
graft or bud of a plant or tree
AS time passed, imp lost this origi-

being applied to humans, in the sense

it became synonymous with a mis-

The MIRA AS A
Strikebreaker
By Labor Research Associa ton

MIRA interest In compulsory arbitration, ae-
eordng to reliable information, is very in
tense NRA officials in recent months discussed
with Australian government officials the COM
pulsory arbitration laws of that country. Copies
of the Italian compulsory arbitration law are
being circulated in Washington.
Complete suppression of strikes and picket
ing through measures similar to the British
Trades Disputes Act of 1927 is the announced
aim of the National Association OF Manufac-
turers New York Times, Nov 81.
Directed primarily at sympathetic strikes
and the successful flying squadrons" which,
according to these employers statement force
thousands out of employment while industry
is seeking to reduce unemployment" the pro-
gram OF this labor-hating body urges state
legislatures to:
l. Make sympathetic strikes and sympa-
thetic lockouts illegal
3 Make both employers and unions
equally responsible for observance of contracts
g. Make it illegal for any association of
employers or employees to expel suspend, fine
or otherwise punish members for refusing to
participate in an illegal strike or lockout.
L. Make pieketing illegal when it is car
ried on in such a manner as to intimidate or
coerce employees or customers.
s. Declare illegal employment contracts
requiring person either to join or not to join
any labor organization"
This vicious program is based according to
the New York Times, not only upon the report
of w. X. Webster chairman of the board of the
Bridgeport Brass Co., Bridgeport, Conn. 1t is
based also on the compulsory arbitration pro-
vision of the National Labor Relations Board
settlement" of the strike of Cleveland workers
against the Great Atlantic e. Pacific Tea Co.
This agreement declares:
IF any difference arises under any of the
above clauses, there shall be no strike or
lockout but such differences shall be sub
mitted to arbitrator mutually agreed
upon. E"
The more open admission of reactionary cap
italists of their desire for drastic suppression
of workers militancy and for further restrc-
lions on trade union activities is direct result
of ROOsevelt's truce" proposal.
Arthur Krock, New York Times Washing
ton correspondent, commenting on ROOsevelts
"fireside" addresses reference to Great Britain,
states:
Under the guise of candor, some of the
most eminent of our public figures are telling
half the story 1t is often wise and even neces-
sary to withhold commitments and detailed
explanations of delicate acts
But why speak of Britain's industrial re-
covery without mentioning the laws that forbid
a general strike and confine the basis of indi-
vidual strikes to specific direct and legitimate
cause?" New York Times, Oct. H. 1884,

The Typographical Union is in no sense a

Yet the membership of this relatively con-
sentative union so feel the need for protest

voted not only to pass a resolution but to send
the entire contents of it as a wire to Judge ia

organization, no matter how conservative the
leadership may be- will take the same action as
the printers if someone will but approach them.

Relief Cuts Begin

No fuel will be supplied this winter from
federal funds. Unemployables those physically
unable to work. are to be removed from the
federal relief rolls. Local charity will have to
care for them and in many localities, local chari-
ty is bankrupt.
Relief is denied able bodied men where the
authorities say work is available. In the South
where crop harvesting is in full swing men are
being forced off relief to work for as little as 10
cents an hour.
Instead of having federal relief the unemploy-
ed are being forced to depend upon the even
more grossly inadequate measures of the indi-
vdual states.
The earmarkings of funds for special work
such as statistical investigation is discontinued.
The white collar worker is thus faced with the
sheer starvation of the proletarian worker.
All this cutting of relief is just begun. Yes,
Roosevelt and big business are in agreement
agreement to exploit both the employed and
unemployed more Systematically and complete
ly than in the past.
Contrast this starvation policy with the
announcement Seattle Times, Nov 3O) by Molo-
tow president of the Peoples Commissars, that
all wages in the Soviet Union will be increased
ten per cent on January l. Thus while wages and
relief in America and all capitalist countries
are being reduced, wages in the USSR are con-
stantly rising, while production is being rapid
ly expanded, and the workers standard of liv-
ing constantly increased This is the contrast
between the healthy and growing life of Soviet
society and the decaying system in all capitalist
countries.
