Boston erriers
Are Popular
BY LIZ HUME

Every dog may have his day
but there is one that can have
his day every day and that is the
Boston Terrier who is the most
popular dog in the country. The
American bred Boston wins the
top award.
Complete tabulation of registra-
tions for the month of November,
being issued by the American
Kennel Club, indicates that the
first ten breeds of 1888 still are
holding their place in 1884
among the SO breeds of pure
bred dogs recognized by the con-
trolling body. These breeds are
Boston terriers, cocker spaniels,
wire fox terriers, Scottish terriers,
chow chows, pekingese, beagles,
English springer spaniels, bull
dogs, and pomeranians, which
closed the month in that order.
Bostons top November, 1884,
with 901. Then come: cookers,
800; wires, Sis; Scotties, 481;
elbows, 1913; pekes, 294; beagles,
1858; springers, 1913; bulldogs,
145, and poms, 1874. Breaking
it up into groups, the nonsport-
ing dogs, Bostons, choWS and
bulldogs lead with 1874, and
then follow terriers, wires and
Scotties, 996: gun dogs, cookers
and Springers, 1893; toys, pekeS
and poms, 428, and hounds,
beagles, 268.
The Boston also was in first
place in November, 1888, with
80: with wires, 492: cookers,
4O3; Scotties, 1884; pekes, 292;
beagleS, 227; elbows, 222; bull
dogs, 1876; springers, 142, and
collies, Sc. The transporting
group led with 1928; followed
by terriers, 876; gun dogs, 545;
toys, 292; hounds, 227, and
working dogs, 86.
Cocker spaniels have been
forging to the front at a ire
mendous pace, and it is likely
they will finish the year in
second place, displacing wire
fox terriers. Boston terriers,
of course, still have a firm
hold of first place, where they
have been for the past five
years. The German shepherd,
which once had twice as many
registrations as any other breed,
dropped to second in 1929,
where it remained in 1880. 1t
fell to eighth in 1881 and
1882, and in 1888 was in thir-
teenth place. Now it is begin
ming to show some life again.

Shoulders and
Neck Need
Makeup
By JULIET SHELBY

It took the Hollywood stars
or their makeup men to show
us how naive women have been
in the use of makeup.
You spend minutes in max
ing up your face to be its
most glamorous. but what do
you do about your neck and
shoulders, back and arms?
Ten to one you Sian a little
cologne on them and then,
with a huge puff. powder
lavishly, hoping some of it will
stay on until you reach your
destination. And ten to one,
also, a few beauS have cursed
you under their breath for
having made their dinner suit
a study in black and white!
Necks should be lovely. They
should be perfectly blended into
the makeup of the face, and so
should any portion of your ex-
posed anatomy, when you are
dressed for the evening. Liquid
powders often are no more loyal
to your skin than body powder.
1t takes a liquid of slightly
thicker consistency and more
dependable ingredients to give
You the perfect skin blender.
From Hollywood comes a
liquid that requires no founda-
tion under it and no powder
over it and it does not rub off.
You choose it according to the
shade of face powder you use,
and you apply it to your skin
with your hand, or a piece of
cotton or sponge.
Blend it into your skin and
you can step out with a pair of
alluring shoulders or a beauti-
full back, with the nice assur-
ance that the illusion will last
until dawn do you part. Then
soap and water will remove it.
Those who make it say it is not
for the face-that must be made
up more delicately!

Prevention of Freckles

VA
Dear Miss Shelby:
What type of face cream
should I use to protect my
face?
What is a good home remedy
for freckles? Sincerely,
JIM. w.
Dear Mrs. ]. M. w.:
Any good lubricating cream
will help protect your skin and
help ward off freckles. Use
cream for cleansing in the
morning, follow with a mild
astringent or soothing lotion
and then a foundation cream
well blended. Do not use
vanishing cream, use one that
is a bit oily.
To remove freckles good
home remedies are: buttermilk,
tomato or lemon juice or per.
oxide diluted three parts.

Crude Oil ShampOO

Dear Miss Shelby:
My hair is falling out very
rapidly and is now quite thin.
Can you tell me something of
the crude oil treatment? Sin.
cerely, kim.
Dear Miss K. L. M:
Crude oil is very good, espe-
cially for hair that is thin and
falling. You can purchase the
oil at any drug store. The hair
should be parted in small
strands and hot oil applied
with a medicine dropper or
small piece of absorbent cotton
until the entire scalp is COW
cred. Massage it we'll in and
leave on as long as convenient.
Wash your hair in several
waters, using a good shampoo,
rinse well and dry. Between
shampoos use a good tonic, CIV
ing the scalp a good massage
while applying it. Brush your
hair well every day, making sure
your brush is always clean and
fresh. Give the oil treatment
every other week. You will find
1t will bring about a healthy,
normal condition.

"Crazy" About Each Other

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm madly infatuated with
girl whom I've known for only
a short time, while she in turn
feels the same way toward me.
We are not free to marry, as
both are blessed with husband
and wife. When I am with her,
everything is right with the
world, but when I'm away from
her, I feel grouchy and discon-
tented.
My home life is especially ir-
ritating. The children get on
my nerves and my Wife'S mere
presence tries my patience.
Neither of us has any grounds
for divorce. Are Mexican di-
vorces legal? A. L. B.
You've written to me, and it's
up to me to answer your letter.
But you won't like what I'm 60
ing to say. Why not cultivate
a little character for a change?
You're married, have a family
and no grounds for divorce.
The same is true of your inamo-
rata.
You should know that mad
infatuations have a way Of cur
ing themselves. They burn
themselves out as quickly as a

Famous Authority on LoUe and
Romance

Famous Authority on LoUe ana
Romance
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For a little over a year, I
have been enjoying the friend
ship of a girl whom I met in a
business way. I have been
seeing her once or twice a week
for lunch. Our friendship has
been the finest thing I have
ever known. We have never
spoken a word about love nor
have I even so much as held
her hand.
This may seem funny, but I
should have told you at first
that I am married, very happy,
and in love with my wife. This
girl is also engaged to a young
man.
Our meeting each other is,
of course, a secret, and that's
what bothers me. This girl is
not the type who would go out
with a married man. 1t was
understood from the beginning
that our seeing each other was
to be friendship only and moth
ing else, and it has always been
Just that.
I am convinced if I were to
say one word of love she would
never see me again, and that's
why I like her so much. What
I should like to know is, do
you think there is anything
wrong with a friendship of this
kind? j. S.
You bring up the old ques-
ton of platonic friendships,
over which the world has been
growing gray for thousands OF
years. Such friendships are
possible, of course. History re-
cords many such instances.
The ability to keep them pla-
tonic is largely a question OF
age and temperament.
When young people find what
begins as an impersonal friend
ship so agreeable, it is not
unlikely that it will slip into a
love affair. That's always the
danger.
You say that your meeting
is, of course, a secret, and that's
what bothers you. Isn't that,
itself, danger signal?

Room for One More
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My boy friends cousin is to
be married in a restaurant, and
his mother and father received
an invitation to come. The in
vitation reads, "Mr. and Mrs.
Jones and family" Now, 1 have
been going steadily with my boy
friend for a year and a half.
In fact, we are to be married
soon and most everyone knows
that.
My friend and his mother in
Sist that 1 go to the wedding
and I say no. Am 1 right or
wrong? After all, this wedding
is a plate wedding and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones must send a card
back telling Jacks aunt how
many people are coming from
his family.
Although am Jacks fiancee,
I still do not belong to his
family, so I say it would not
be right for me to go to the
wedding. My boy friend is very
angry at me for telling him
that I am not going, so please
tell me the right thing to do.
My boy friend tells me that
if I don't go to the wedding, he
won't go, and I suppose his
mother will be very displeased
with me if he does not go. K.
It would be very simple to
solve this difficulty by having
your friends mother ask this
cousin to include you in their
invitation.
Since the family in which the
wedding is to be is so closely re-
lated to your friends family,
this would be a perfectly ap-
propriate thing to do.

Harlem Workers School
Plans Summer Term

During the summer, the Harlem
Workers School will conduct two
lecture courses of six weeks each
beginning the week of July g.
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
One course will be the History of
the Negro in America, to be given
by James Allen and Otto Hall, both
prominent labor authors and re-
search workers. The other course
will be Drama from the Point Of
View of the Worker. This course
will be given by individual lectur-
ers of the John Reed Club in CO.
operation with the Pen and Ham
mer Club. The lecturers will be
outstanding writers Of proletarian
works, such as Mike Gold. Paul Pc
ters, John Howard Lawson. Charles
Burroughs and John Wexley, for
each evening. These groups will
also help with the publicity. The
growing interest in the history of
the Negro People, and the wide sup
port given during the past year to
plays such as "Stevedore,' - Peace
on Earth" They Shall Not die,
proves that the topics chosen are
very timely.
The committee working in this
summer project asks every one to
help by sending in. the names of all
students and teachers who are In
the city for summer study and who
would be interested in these courses,
to the school Office at 200 w. 1S5th
