Photos AS Gifts
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have two very dear friends.
One is my age, IS, and the
other is 20. They have both
asked me for my picture. Would
it be all right for me to send
them each a picture as a Christ
mas gift, or would books be
more suitable?
If so, would you please sug-
geSt some kind Of a book girl
of 20 would enjoy? c.
There's always a question to
me as to the appropriateness
of sending ones photograph for
q Christmas gift. I'd avoid it
If I were you, and instead send
books to these friends, and
later, if you wish, send the
photographs.
Ones choice of books is so
personal that can't give any
definite suggestions. But you
will know if the girl is the kind
of girl who would prefer having
q novel currently popular, or a
book of poems, or a biography,
or a book on one of her special
interests or enthuSiasmS.

BETSY Cas"eh pod, from 8
to IL inches in length, and con-
tanning from 20 to 80 hard
seeds, clustered together in a
central pulpy mass.
These seeds are roasted and
ground to provide us with our
cocoa and chocolate. The most
curious thing about them is that
the pods grow out of the main
trunk of the tree, and not off
the large main branches-not
like most fruits, which hang on
the slender young twigs.
Delicious
The seeds of the cocoa tree
were once used by the Aztecs,
in Mexico, as money-such a
valuable commodity they were
considered in those days!
An amusing story tells US
that when the great botanist,
Linnaeus, was asked to give a
name to this plant, he was of.
fered a cup of chocolate as a
sample of its deliciousness. He
was so charmed with the flavor
that he at once named the plant
"Theobroma," which means
food for the gods! This has
remained the scientific title of
the tree ever since, and I am
sure that all those who love the
flavor of chocolate agree with
him that it is rightly named.
NOuriShing
These cold winter mornings a
cup Of hot cocoa is a splendid
send-off for the School-bound
child, providing nourishment
and energy for the mornings
tasks. It also is an excellent
means of getting the child to
consume that famous quart of
milk every day." that all nutri.
ton experts call for.
The French have a particu-
larly delicious way of preparing
hot chocolate, as a beverage,
which is similar to cocoa, of
course, but much richer in fat
content.
With a dab of whipped cream
on top, it does indeed become
an ambroSial drink-but watch
out, any of you who are prone
to put on poundage easily! I
am printing herewith, for the
benefit of the chronically slim,
an old French recipe for the
preparation Of:
DU CHOCOLAT
I cake of grated chocolate
quart whole milk
Set the milk to boil
Mix the grated chocolate with
a little hot water, blending
thoroughly. Stir this in, as the
milk begins to simmer, and let
it boil up just once. Sweeten
with two tablespoons sugar, and
serve hot, with whipped cream.
Do not let the chocolate boil
more than the one time, as the
cocoa base of the chocolate
loses much Of its flavor and
fragrance by evaporation.

Set
Gets Praise
BY JULIET SHELBY

One of the most dainty, most
feminine cosmetic packages that
is being shown for Christmas
favor is a pink satin set of face
powder and a small jar Of liquid
finishing cream.
If you are meticulous in the
choice of your cosmetics, and if
you run to soft pinks and blues
in your intimate apparel and
surroundings you must take q
look at this set.
The face powder has rapidly
grown in favor since it made its
appearance some months ago,
and the finishing cream is Of q
special liquid consistency which
instantly gives your skin .
smooth, velvety appearance. 1t
is a marvellous base for powder.
Just a tiny bit does the trick.
Girls with dry or normal skin
could look forever and not find
more satisfactory finishing
preparation. Young things at
school and college could easily
make this cream their sole cos
metic if they painstakingly wash
their faces with soap and water
before making-up. And q right
nice gift it is for the young girl.
The pair are so beautifully
boxed in pink satin that any girl
will want to display them.
The powder comes in rose
cream "a shade particularly
suited to many tones Of skin,
and which can be lightened or
darkened by yourself. The set is
a bargain, and you would have
to pay much more if you bought
the products separately.
The outer package is a sym"
phony of soft pink and silver
a pleasing contrast to all the
reds and green's Of Christmas.
I have featured the finishing
cream in this column before,
and many women, especially
those fortunate ones who play
constantly under the sunshine,
write to thank me for bringing
it to their attention. So if you
are planning cruise or a South
ern land jaunt, keep it in mind.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. 25.-
Cooperation of all who stand for
Negro freedom, in the fight to save
the Scottsboro boys which is being
led by the International Labor De-
fense, was called for in statement
issued today by Langston Hughes,
Negro poet and novelist and presi-
dent of the League of Struggle for
Negro Rights.
Hughes statement was in the
form of an appeal to all genuine
friends of the boys to lay aside all
differences and throw the weight
of their influence on the side of
the Scottsboro defense. away from
the disruption of its enemies, who
have sought to scuttle it, in what
he termed the crucial moment of
the long fight for their freedom.
Legal defense is important, very
important" Hughes said, "and we
know that the I. L. D. is providing
the best legal defense. But legal
defense alone is not enough. We
must support the fight with our
protest and make public opinion

felt to the highest court in the land.
For three and half years the
International Labor Defense has
been leading the fight for the inno-
cent boys. Many of the members
of the organization have served
without any pay, working sixteen
and eighteen hours a day for
months at a time. But for their
sacrifices, and those of the poor
and underpaid workers, both white
and Negro, who have given their
last pennies in many cases, the
boys would not be alive today.
The International Labor Defense
has backed up its campaign of edu-
cation, rousing protest everywhere,
with the best legal defense"
Funds to carry on this legal and
mass campaign, to perfect and pre-
sent the appeals before the U. S.
Supreme Court, are urgently needed.

NEW YORK.-"Every effort is to
be made to avoid the appearance
and rush of a mass lay-off."
So reads the statement issued to
officials of Macy's department store,
on procedure for a Christmas lay
off of at least 5000 in that store
alone. Macy's heads the list of New
York stores now in the process of
laying off tens of thousands of
workers.
Macys lay-off procedure instruc-
tions dated Nov 80, were issued in
seven copies: to the heads of the
time office, training employment,
floor superintendent, record, hos
pital offices and protection depart
ment.
The care taken in Macys depart
ment store to "avoid the appearance
of q mass layoff," gives a clear in
dication Of the hollowness of en-
ployment increase claims.
There will be two dates for gem
eral Christmas layoff = Saturday,

instructions stated.

But the layoff is not limited only
to those who have been hired dur

NEW Notwithstanding that the

in the development of fascism,
Earl Browder, general secretary

ton in keeping Party spokesmen out

the determination of the Communist

NIB Decision
Helps Plants
To Move Away

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 25.-
Apparently ordering the reinstate-
ment of workers dismissed by two
Brooklyn fur dressing firms, the
National Labor Relations Board
yesterday actually aflrms the right
of these firms to move, and thereby
to break down union conditions.
While the two concerns, the
Globe Cable Corporation, now at
South Norwalk, and the Shuster
Gaio Corporation, now at Farming
dale, L. l., are instructed to re-
instate their Brooklyn employees,
this decision is being disregarded by
the companies.
The decision followed the COM
plant lodged by the Fur Dressers
Local and the Fur Floor Walkers
Union Local 3. The two concerns
in May moved their plants without
notifying the unions, and terminated
the agreements without notice, and
threw the employees out of work.
Non union conditions were insti-
tuted in the new locations.
The decision of the N.L.R.B. or
ders the Brooklyn employees re-
instated who desire to work at the
new location. but makes no provi-
sion for the moving of the employees
to these new towns. The decision or
ders the companies to recognize

is as valueless as many similar deci-
sions of the N. R. A. Boards, unless
the workers themselves, through
their own organized strength are
able to force the decision. These
demagogic decisions, as for exam
pie in the Houde case, are disre-
garded with impunity by the en-
ployers unless the workers them
