EVENING AT HOME

just a glance through the bour-
geois papers. Like a magic act, they
are full of doubtful surprises. Ads,
ads, and more ads: astounding dis
coveries in the field of cosmetics
now all we need is a hundred dol
lars or so apiece to become Venuses
overnight. And here's an item from
the New York Times, Health is
Ranked Second to Beauty" report
ing that IAN ultimatum to health,
in case it should get in the way
Of beauty, was laid down fatty at
the International Convention of
Beauty Shop Owners, in a beauty
pledge"
So, in the interest of the "beau-
LITIGATION" business, we are to be
made beautiful" even if it kills us.
how women can be beautiful with
out being healthy remains one of
those unsolved bourgeois mysteries.
The beauty doctors silly ultimatum
is symbolic Of the whole bourgeois
upside-down philosophy resulting
from cock-eyed system of pro-
duction and distribution, and fur
ther, wildly illustrates the bour-
geois notion of the subordinate posi-
ton Of women, for while it neglects
to explain the reason for being" of
man, it declares that womens ex-
cuse for existing is to please the
eye-necessarily of man.
Surely nobody objects to being
good-looking, but stuff like that is
enough to get any self-respecting
gals dander up, and it's our own
non-apologetic guess that capital
ism, which tolerates such sick phi
losophies, will make a hell of a
swell-looking corpse one of these
days.
The World Telegram, women's
page again. It's editor, Gretta Palm
er, is still sticking up ostensibly for
women, actually for bosses. She
says:
"The most ardent and belliger-
ent feminists cannot urge that
women have right to supplant
men unless they are at least as
efficient. women and children
first" may be a proper slogan for
sinking ships, but it has no place
i'll the world of business and in
dustry.
IF women cannot compete on
equal terms with men, then they
do not deserve their jobs, and they
would do much better to admit
the fact and seamper back to con-
tinue the work of continuing the
race, on which they have firm
monopoly"
At the Barnard College Sympo-
SUM, however, Miss Palmer de-
clsred that of 100000 women en-
ployed in industry, 100000 were
working for pleasure" whereas the
other 100000 were the bread
winners of their families and de-
pendents. Where she got such f19
lres I don't know: in the new book,

the number of women en-
oloyed in industry is given at TO-
10000 in 1890; the fact does re-

And have heard from one of the
dressed-up men, as I overheard
him, that this work will stop any

some of the farmers and they do
not like the way the C.W.A. is run,

1925. In 1928, owing to more rigid
observance of using prophylactic
drops in the eyes Of the newborn,
the figures dropped to nine per

eight thousand seven hundred

Miss Palmer knows as we'll as
anybody knows, that women cannot
compete on equal terms" with men,
for the simple reason that women
bear children. But she is paid to
ignore this vital fact in the inter-
est Of preventing working women
from demanding proper industrial
provision for their health. In a So
cialiSt system this provision is made,
and moreover in such a system
there is no vicious question of
women "supplanting" men in in
dustry, because there are always
jobs for all.

Braintree Bosses
Break Promises on
City Employees Pay
By a Worker Correspondent

by a worker correspondent
SOUTH BRAINTREE, Mass-In
1882, the municipal employees of the
Sacco- Vanzetti frame-up town of
Braintree, Mass, which is domi-
mated by the Braintree National
Bank and the Morgan controlled
Cities Service Refining Company,
were asked" by the town Off
Gals to donate" Is per cent of their
pay to the Welfare Department; the
Is per cent cut to stop in January,
1884. A week after the local cleo
tons of last March, at town meet
ing, the question of restoring or
continuing the Is per cent cut came
up and the workers voted over
whelmingly to restore the cut.
At the same meeting, it was voted
not to reconsider this question.
When the town officials, selectmen
and finance committee, all business
men, realized the great victory of
the workers against pay cuts, they
at once condemned the votes as il
legal and not being in the town
warrant; then adjourned the meet
ing until the following week.
At the second town meeting it
was easy to see that the bosses had
not been idle. The town hall was
packed, including all the aisles and
lobbies. Amplif1ers we're placed
everywhere. The head of the finance
committee opened the barrage
against the workers by stating the
town was the second worse off in
the state.
1.-THE Finance Committee he
said, after careful consideration
makes a motion that all the items
in the budget for the following year,
for which an appropriation of $780,
600 is asked, be voted for under a
single blanket vote"
The trick in this motion was to
smother the question as to whether
this appropriation did or did not in
clude the amount of the Is per
cent cut in wages.
However, several workers de-
manded to know what the appropri-
alton would be when the Is per
cent is included.
The Finance Chairman was COM
PEELED through mass pressure, to
disclose that with the restoration of
the Is per cent cut, the appropria-
ton would have to be $4,000. Only
three or four workers spoke.
The moderator had promised I'M
limited discussion, but after only
eight people had spoken and it was
still early in the evening, a motion
was made by one of the clique to
close the discussion and put the
question. The result was defeat
of the workers.
Workers of Braintree! Force the
town officials (you voted them in
to protect your interests to keep
their promise to restore the 1882
wage rate. Demand that absentee
millionaire owners of the huge profit
making Cities Service Co. pay at
least the same rate of taxes as the
workers are forced to pay, instead
OF the much lower rate they are
assessed.

JUTE BAG TAX
REFUND WILL
BEPERM|TTED

Through the efforts of the Cali
fornia Farm Bureau Federation,
the tax on jute bags has been res
cinded, and farmers who have paid
this tax since June IL may secure
refund, according to Alex john
son, secretary of the California
Farm Bureau Federation. George
Wilson, who represented the Cali
fornia Farm Bureau in Washing
ton, recently secured this refund.
Wilson was advised by the author
tiles that the tax will be refunded
on floor stocks.
The form for application for re-
fund is to be filled in by the man
ufacturerS, retailers, or others hold
ing bags for resale, and these forms
are now in the hands of the print
ers and will be out very shortly.
Refunds will be made on bags on
hand June IL. The government
will refund the tax to the appli-
cants who show they had the bags
on hand, but the government will
not do anything to see that the re-
fund gets back to the farmers who
have been charged the tax since
June II, and any farmers who
have paid this tax on bags deliver
ed since June u should file an ap-
plication for refund with the deal
er from whom the bags were pur-
chased. The collectors of internal
revenue at San Francisco and Los
Angeles will receive the apelica-
ton forms and forward them to
Washington for action.
The tax rate on small jute bags
has been reduced from 2.9l4 cents
to 81 cents SO there will be a re-
fund of .814 cents per pound on
the smaller bags still paying a tax.
The resembling of the order and
the refunding of the money is due
entirely to the action of the CAL
ifornia Farm Bureau Federation.
This will be welcome news to I'M
perial county grain, sorghum, or
other growers who bought sacks
since June IL.

Giants play Casey" Stengels
Brooklyn Dodgers today and tomor-
row at the polo grounds in New
York, and the Cards continue to-
day and tomorrow against Cincin-
natl at st. Louis, completing a four
game series.
If a deadlock still exists tomor-
row night, end Of the season, 1t will
necessitate the first constitution
al" playoff series of three games in
baseball history.
Officials of the National league
already have completed plans for
this playoff. The first game would
be contested at st. Louis on Tues
day, the second at New York on
Wednesday and the third. if neces-
sary, at New York on Thursday. In
that case the world series would
not open until Friday or Saturday
instead of Wednesday.
Leroy Parmalee of the Giants
and Van Lingle Mungo or Ray
Benge of Brooklyn probably will be
mound opponents.
Although the contenders are
tied, st. Louis is the betting favor

commissioner, last night quoted 3

ball to their own 33 yard line just
as the quarter ended.
On the first play of the second
period, Wagner skirted his right
end for a II yard gain. The locals,
however, were forced to punt and
the Yuma boys took possession of
the ball on their % yard line.
An exchange of punts gave the
Spartans the ball on their As yard
line and they started their march
goalward which ended when Baker
took Wagoner's pass on the 20
yard line and trotted across the
line for the score. The concersion
attempt failed and the score was
6-6 where it remained for the rest
of the game.
Teams Well Mcathed
The Spartans received to open
the second half and although both
teams tried their best, neither had
the punch to put over another
score. The SpartanS threatened re-
peatedly, as did Yuma, but it was
evident that scoring for the even
ing, unless some real break should
come to either team, was over
with the two touchdowns already
counted.
Both teams played good foot
ball the Spartans showing up to
much better advantage in their
play than during their first game
last week.
The Spartan line showed great
strength to such an extent that
the visitors could not make gains
through the forward wall but had
to have recourse to sweeping end
runs or passes. Edgar and Furbass
repeatedly broke through the Yuma
line to smear the runners for losses
Or breakup the Yuma plays before
they even got started. Aaron at end
gave an excellent exhibition Of how
the wing position should be hand
led. Wolf at the other end and
Gibson were also on their toes at
all times and aided in both offense
and defense.
1t was in the Spartan backfield
that the thrills were supplied. Wag-
oner, Fox, Gianola and Bush re-
peatedly brought the crowd to its
feet by their consistent and often
spectacular ground gaining. Wag-
oner particularly, by his passing
and long runs around the ends,
was the leading Spartan ground
gamer of the evening. Wagner
looms up as Centrals star player
and ought to hang up real ground
gaining record for the season.
The Spartans played as team,
last night, and with another weeks
practice will be ready for the
Coachella team next Friday night
For the Criminals, Precidiado
and Stovall stood out by their
, sterling work. Precidiado rammed
the Spartan line continuously for
short gains and Stovall by his pass
ing and long runs was easily the
Yuma star of the game. These
two were backed up in their work
by Collins. Soloman and Payne
whose playing was particularly
noticeable.

SPARTANS AND YUMA TEAMS PLAY
HARD GAME ENDING in &c SCORE

Greatly improved in every de-
partment of the game. the Spartans
of Central Hi played a tie game
with the Yuma Criminals on the
local gridiron last night. The final
score was 6-6 and the SpartanS
showed the results of a hard week
of intensive practice following their
defeat at the hands of the La
Jolla Vikings a week ago.
Yuma received the opening kick
off and returned the ball to their
own 35 yard line. Attempts to break
through the Spartans line failing,
the visitors punted to the Spartans
10 yard stripe and the locals start
ed their first offensive.
This did not get very far as
the Criminals broke through to
nail the runner before he had a
chance to get on his way The
game seesawed back and forth un-
til the first opening came for
Yuma. Stovall, stellar back and
paSser, rifled a short pass from his
own 40 yard line to Solomon who
took the toss over his shoulder
and toted it to the Spartan %
yard line before being doWned.
Three plunges at the Spartan
line were tried but the line held
and then with fourth down and
about eight yards to go, Stovall
swept around his left end to bring
the pigskin to the Spartan seven
yard line. On the first down sue
cecding this play an unexpected
pass caught the locals off guard
and Collins toted the ball over
for the Criminal score. The at
tempt at conversion was unsuc-
cessful and the score stood Yuma,
