Bags Under the Eyes

D. G., New York: Your account of
n Sour general condition indi-
Gates you to be in good general
health and for this reason the cause
of the baggy lower lids will have
to be sought elsewhere. Although
it is unlikely to be the case With
you, still the occasional causes of
this condition, such as kidney and
heart ailments, should be eliminated
from consideration by a general exc
animation.
More likely your inability to sleep
restfully is at the bottom of it,
In many people, single restless
night shows itself by just this puff
ness about the lids, especially when
they have some tendency to puff
ness in this region in any case, as
quite few people have. If this is
the case with you, then the baggy
eyelids in themselves are unimpor-
tant. They can be taken care Of
by some domestic measures, such
as, ice-water application and some
astringent cream. What concerns
you is the inability to sleep. Lack
of sufficient outdoor life and exer-
else may be part of it; partly it
may be worry and emotional rest
lessness. You yourself can best de-
eide. If it is the last-named, you
must find more activity that will
engage your spare time and feelings.
There is no harm in the taking
of tablet of half grain of pheno-
barbital (Which you can get at any
drugstore) once in while, if it will
help you to pass an easier night.
We advise you against making this
a constant habit.

PADEN CITY, w. Va. = About
a week ago I visited coal miner
and this is what he told me about
the check off:
First, they check off the union
dues; second, $1.20 for hospital bill;
third, $3.50 for a doctor bill; fourth,
81 month for coal the year round;
fifth 50 per room for rent; sixth,
electric bill; seventh, blacksmith
bill; eighth, the union checkweigh-
mans wages; ninth, shooting mate
rial, powder and electric caps; tenth,
hauling the garbage away. Outside
of that I don't know of any more,
If the miners have any tears to
shed, shed them now Of course if
there is anything left, they take out
their store bill, which must never
over run the amount left in his pay
check, whether his ramily has any,
thing to eat or not.
That is why, in the past, thou

Reelected
In Local 10
Rank and File Group
Polls Is Per Cent
of Votes Cast
BY Food Worker Correspondent

By Food Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK Last Tuesday cleo
tons of the officials were held in
Local is, Restaurant Employees
Union, A. F. Of L.
This union has been in control Of
a group of officials who have ruled
with an iron hand. Any voice Of
criticism was frowned upon. In the
great majority Of places under con-
tract with the union, open shop
conditions prevail as to wages and
hours. Coupled with this there was
mass unemployment amongst the
membership due to the economic
crisis
AS the demands for action grew,
the officials tried by all means to
keep the membership in place. Their
most convenient weapon was to
strike at the livelihood of those
that dared to raise their voice for
better conditions in the shops. Soon
after the nominating meeting on
Nov. 18th, = number of members
who had dared accept nominations
on the opposition slate were thrown
off their Jobs.
A broad movement involving
meetings, leaflets and delegations
forced their reinstatement even
before the elections.
A number of independent groups
came to the fore in the election
campaign, notably the United
Group" comprising the most mill
tant and progressive elements in the
union.
1t waged its campaign around
such fundamental trade union issues
as full trade union democracy,
higher than N. R. A. starvation
wages, shorter hours, reduction Of
the high union dues, an organiza-
ton campaign and for the workers
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance Bill HR 1898.
One of the most important de-
mands was for the reelection of
the auditing committee to check up
and report regularly on the financial
affairs of the union. This commit
tee had been arbitrarily abolished
on a recommendation OF the Ex-
ecutive Board which pushed it
through without clarifying the issue.
Though the slate of the machine
was reelected, it was only after the
most hectic election campaign by
the officials. fragrant violations of
democratic procedure occurred.
They modified the shop chair
men, instructing them "to get the
vote" They issued a false statement
to the effect that every shop chair
man on the list had endorsed
and signed the call. They used
the union Office as their Off
cial election headquarters. They
handed each voter a sample ballot
and encouraged the voters to take
them into the voting room.
Official election inspectors and
door watchers abused their official
standing shamelessly in order to in
fluence voters. A flood of leaflets,
cards and signs was unloosened on
those coming to vote in as undigni-
fed and degrading a manner as was
ever seen in the union.
In spite Of all these handicsp5,
the rank and file candidates received
remarkable number of votes. Out

NEWS OF THE DRIVE

You all know about the Drive for
$4,000 the New Pioneer is having,
don't you? If you don't, you ought
to find out about it, because it is
very important. 1t means the very

Some readers are getting real busy
in this Drive, but some are making
a big secret of what They're doing

not because they're not doing any,

we can see there's going to be some

FREE FOOD FIGHTERS

When Sylvia Ettinger, lunchroom
supervisor in P. S. 36, Brooklyn, was
fired for feeding hungry children
who had no food tickets, the

The children formed the Free Food

And by the way, that idea is Ger

such a mutual arrangement for the

COmrade-MOthers!
BY ANN ART % N

AND here is Slava Dunn's intro
n ductory piece to the series of
articles which will appear in this
column every week, on children.
"rOMRADE-mo Are you do
ing anything to find out what
are the best ways to bring up your
children? Are you interested in
knowing important facts about food,
health, and general care and hand
ling of children? There are many
facts known today, which help
mothers to raise healthier, stronger
children ard to train their intel
ligence from the ve-y earliest ages.
But how many working class
mothers know these facts? OF those
who know them, how many practise
them?
Just as everything else, the ex-
tent to which we are able to practise
them, depends first of all upon the
money we have. There are many
marvellous toys, and conveniences
for children, but these, working class
mothers cannot afford. They are for
use only in the homes of the rich.
But yet, to my mind, it is the duty
of every comrade who has children
to know what they are, and adapt
as much of them as is possible to
her own needs and resources.
There is a slogan in the U.S.SR.,
"rThe building Of socialism de-
mards new people-let's bring up
our children in new wayl" We also
need new reople, able and healthy.
We need them now, and we shall
need them later. Let's get all we
can out of the knowledge that is
available to us, and those things
which we cannot have now-we shall
just have to fight for!"

Ha.e Dyes to Retain Ones Job
Our Reply

THERE is no way to delay the ap-
peerance of gray hair because
the ability to produce the color in
the hair root is lost and we know
no way Of restoring it.
We sympathize very much with
your difficulty in getting a JOB, be-
cause of the gray hair. A man OF
forty is still in his prime and is a
useful member of society, except
under capitalism, which uses any
excuse to exploit wage slaves by fir
ing experienced workers and hiring
younger, inexperienced men at lower
wages.
The only way to overcome this is
by dyeing the hair. A dye such as
the following is less expensive than
those sold in pretty bottles:
Lead Acetate-twenty grams
Sodium Thiosulphate-thirty
grams
Glycerin-forty grams
Perfumed Alcohol-sixty grams
Distilled Water-one Liter.
The lead acetate and sodium THO
sulphate are separately dissolved in
pert of the water and aftsrward
mixed together with the rest of the
water and the other ingredients.
Shake well before using. Apply to
hair each night and comb thor
oughly. In few days the hair will
turn black. Stop when it does. Re-
peat the use of the dye only when
necessary, usually in two months.
Avoid daily use of the dye.

The mines in the northern coal

Under these circumstances, when

Pangborn will be accompanied on
his l7,00o-mile trip by Bennett Grimm

Reeder Nichols as radio operator and
alternate pilot. Nichols served as radio
operator with Pangborn and Col. Ros-
coe Turner on their recent London-to-
