MlIady Chats
By Nellie

When a woman's throat begins
to show a dropping, weary look, it
is a sign of birthdays piling up.
But it isn't cue for her to take up
knitting and prepare for a lonely
spinsterhood. 1t merely shows that
it is time to get out the massage
creams and get in some brisk tap
ping and slapping to bring the re-
Taxed muscles back to normal.
If throat muscles are already
sagging to a marked degree, the
rejuvenation, my dears, won't be
completed in a week, nor even a
few weeks, but that shouldn't be
discouraging if finally muscles
perk up and wrinkles disappear!
Even after the throat line is firm
again, daily care will be necessary
or the old droop will return in one
half the time it took to remove it.
And that would be a tragedy for
even the most optimistic beauty
seeker!
AS beginner, take your favorite
cleansing cream and get rid of that
pesky accumulation of surface
grim on neck and face. begin
every beauty treatment with this
prematory cleaning.) Then for
some warm, not hot, water and a
good, soapy scrubbing. Rinse with
warm water. Now dry face and
neck with soft pats of the towel.
Soft, because muscles which are
already dropping won't stand
rough treatment.
Now, with hands cupped around
the throat, let one hand follow the
other from chin down to collar
bone and then up again. Tap the
flesh briskly. Turn the head from
one side to the other hard enough
to exercise those relaxed muscles.
Then wiring a towel out of cold
water and apply it to neck and
throat. A cold water dousing in the
morning, followed by a good
astringent, completes the treat
ment. But remember, this is no
overnight miracle treatment!
For the smart young things who
want to look very, very collegiate,
nothing will turn the trick like a
smart sweater and skirt outfit. The
college shops of the stores are
showing some of the trimmest
sweaters and skirts! Whether or
not you intend to trod a campus
this fall, you will certainly want at
least one of these outfits. For sheer
smartness, inexpense, and practical
bility, they can't be topped!
The new fall hosiery shades are
more stunning this year than they
have ever been! A hint of blue to
match the dark blue shades which
will continue in popularity. An elu-

MORE WHITE THAN
COLORED ARE ON
RELIEF BUREAUS

WASHINGTON - According to
the first census of the Federal E.
mergency Relief released this week
81.3 per cent of the total relief
group were white, as compared to
1877 per cent colored, and 2 per
cent of other races.
The report showed that 81 per
cent of the colored population in
the country lived in "a states and
contributed SO per cent of the col
ored relief persons.
Almost 10 per cent of the color
ed people in the country were on
relief in October, as compared with
9.5 of the whites on relief.
In the "a states. including the
District of Columbia. with large
colored populations, the range of
per cents of colored people on re-
lief was from 4 per cent in Vir-
ginia to 3s per cent IN Ohio.
While there was almost twice as
high proportion of colored as of
whites on relief for the United
States as a whole, states, Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, Kentucky, and
West Virginia, where the proper
ton of whites on relief was great
er than the comparable proportion
Of colored, one state, Tennessee,
had 9.5 of the whites on relief.
D. c. Is Unequal
The District Of Columbia showed
the greatest disproportion between
the two races on relief, with the
percentage OF coIored persons re-
ceivIng relief being almost 10 tim
es that for whites.
Seventy-six per cent of the 81
463 persons on unemployment re-
lief rolls here, as of October last,
were colored.
The 28,850 colored residents re-
ceiYing relief here represented 21.S
per cent of the total population of
132,063 in Washington, it was re-
ported.
The 1851 white persons on re-
lief rolls here represented but "a
per cent of the total white pspu-
lation of S5S.914, the report show
ed. Probably the most amazing
revelation in the report is the fact
that approximately 20 per cent of
those receiving relief in the Dis
trict are children between the ages
of 6 and 13 years.
Approximately 10 per cent of re-
lief here went to persons between
25 and "a years of age.

New Bedford's Portuguese
Draw Line on CoIored Folk

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. - New
York has her black Americans and
her black West Indians. New Bed
ford has her black Americans and
her black Portuguese, but besides
the fermentation which makes the
four groups brothers under the
skin, there is very little similarity.
Both Jamaica and Dixie started
dumping their native sons and
daughters into Harlem about TIE
same time. The two groups NOV
ed into the alien territory together,
amaIgamated and have worked out
their salvation along similar lines,
SO that today we find those from
the islands and those from the
states almost indistinguishable ex-
cept for certain idiosyncrasies Of
habit and speech. Both groups be-
ing English speaking, this process
Of adjustment was not overly diff
ficult.
