Michigan, when the miners chill
dren were suffocated in a narrow
hallway after a false cry of Fire"
had been given by an unknown per-
son. And the other was in Ludlow,
Colorado, when the tent colony of
striking miners was set ablaze with
kerosene poured over the ground by
militiamen. Mother Bloor was pres
ent both times, working her fingers
to the bone for the strikers.
During the war Mother Bloor
worked with strikers in arms fac
tories, and in anti-war meetings.
But it was during this period that
she began to feel that the Socialist
Party was falling down. She was
heartsick at the lack of organiza-
ton against war. She grew more
Left, and she grew more determined
that the workers should be organ
lied to fight against war.
When the Communist Party was
formed in 1919, Mother Bloor be-
came one of its first members. And
her work of organizing continued.
Still Going Strong
She hasn't stopped her battle
against the capitalist system yet. At
seventy three, she is still going
strong. Right now she is working
against war, in the united front
movement Of the American League
Against War and Fascism.
Mother Bloor has two great de-
sires, Ann Barton says in this ex-
citing story Of life. One is to has
ten the revolution for the sake OF
the youth. The other is to hasten
1t for her own sake, for she says.
Il want to attend that First Con
gress of American Soviets"

Beauty Field
Is Profitable
For Women
Professional Tasks
Invite Thousands
to Qualify.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

THIS business of beauty is making
such strides, expanding so rapidly
that is is opening many new avenues
of employment for women. While
there are many male hairdressers IN
this field, it is nevertheless a woman's
world and the opportunities it offers
are legion.
There are very few working women
who, putting their minds to it, could
not find themselves in this particular
field. From the factory worker to the
creative artist, from the writer, lee
turer, salesgirl. beauty salon operator
there is such variety of jobs open in
the field that it opens the door to
employment for thousands of women.
There are two ways for one to pre-
pare for the post of operator in a
beauty parlor. One is by training in
| a beauty school; the other by actual
apprenticeship. A combination of the
two is the ideal way to get the neces-
sary theory backed with practice.
Beauty schools are gaining popularity.
They report increased enrolment the
past few years. And the job of opera
tor is becoming increasingly impor.
tant.
There should be some talent, apti-
tude or at least a definite liking for
the work to begin with. That plus a
good foundation and a genuine inter-
est in her work; also a pleasing per-
sonality and Cvery importantly a
groomed appearance will make an
operator rise to very gratifying heights
of success. This sort Of work demands
that one be "up-to-date."
Even the matter of manicuring, for
instance. 1t might seem that once
one knows how to give a manicure,
how to file the nails and trim the
cuticle and put on polish there isn't
any more to learn. But isn't there?
The alert manicuriSt knows something
about the association between the
shape and size of the hand and the
shape of the nail; she knows the latest
color combinations for the nails; how
a particular shade of polish should be
chosen to complement either costume
or the makeup. The latest vogue
matches fingertip polish and lipstick.
The facial operator has a wider
scope to deal with, which means a
more intensive as well as extensive
training. She must know the struc-
ture of the skin, the underlying
muscles. how to differentiate skin types
and how to treat each. Makeup be-
comes fascinating study and she who
is up on her toes can command the
admiration of her clients as well as o
handsome salary.
With the spotlight focused on this
hair, the permanent waver. the op.
orator who can do scalp work and hair
coloring fills an important post.
So you see that in the one field alone
there are jobs and jobs to be had and
If you like the work and are consci.
entious. you can take more than one
rung Of the ladder at time.

Quite suddenly lot Of gold has ap-
peared in shops and sports gatherings.
It was suggested earlier in the season,
but no one paid very much attention
to it, thought it was just another
dark horse" Then it caught on,
and you'll certainly see a lot Of it
under brown or black coats, or with
sports coats of gray, or green or rust.
Very pretty it Is, and becoming to
most people. Sometimes this dress is
made Of monotone tweeds. but more
often than not the light weight woods
are used. they being a little more
comfortable for general wear.

OfChildDue
To Curiosity
Mothers Warned by
Red Cross to Watch
Trait.

The Red Cross today urged all
mothers to guard their children from
the serious hurts and even deaths"
that result from the overweening curl
osity Of young persons.
curiosity is one Of the funda-
mental causes Of injuries and fatali-
ties in the home" the Red Cross
warned. For instance. curiosity often
results in the swallowing Of an un-
known substance Just to see what
it tastes like This may be pre-
vented by keeping all medicines in
clearly marked containers out OF reach
Of children, and it Is well to learn
the antidotes Of common poisons.
I'VE all know the danger Of chill
dren falling on the stairways and
from high places such as porches.
windows, etc., due to their natural
love Of climbing.
"stairways should always be ade-
ouately guarded. While the greatest
care should be taken to protect your
children, they should be taught at an
early age to look out for dangers
themselves.

prevent the relentless four horsemen
Of death, permanent disability, In

If Your Husband Appears Interested in
Some One Else Find Out the Secret
of Her Charm.

hundred times before. She Is all
sympathy over the way his boss treats
him at the ONCE and she thinks it is
perfectly marvellous how he pulled on
that stock deal, or traded in his old
car for q new one, or was elected to
the Joiners' Club.
In q word, she makes him feel that
he is brilliant conversationalist and
q wit and q spell-binder and that she
admires and appreciates him, and he
naturally seeks the society Of q woman
who gives him this pleasant reaction.
Probably nine-tenths Of the men who
wander away from their own firesides
have gone in search of q listener.
Their wives derided their opinions,
interrupted their best stories to say.
"Just look at the cat" showed that
they were bored when they tried to
talk about their hopes and plans,
said For heavens sake, are you going
to tell that old joke again?" when they
tried to be funny. And so when they
found q woman who would lend them
her ears they fell for her without .
struggle.
THE siren gives q man O run for
= his money. When he takes her
out she makes Of it festive occa-
sion. She makes . man feel that
she is having the time of her life
and that she is grateful and appre-
ciative Of the pleasure he is giving
her. She never wet-blankets q party
by finding fault with everything that
has been arranged for her entertain
ment. She doesn't spoil q good play,
as SO many wives do. by wondering
every few minutes If the baby Is un-
covered or If the house has caught
on fire, or take the flavor out Of q
good dinner by counting the cost of
every item on the menu. She peps
up every little treat and adds to the
Joy Of the occasion, and that is why
men like to take her out.
Finally. the vamp yes-yesses men
instead Of arguing with them and
contradicting them. She tells Q man
how handsome and clever he Is and
how much she adrnires him, and be.
cause none Of Us ever weary Of the
voice that sings our praises she lays
upon him spell which he does not
even desire to break. It is only after
the sweetheart who has told . man
how marvellous he was, becomes .
wife who tells her husband how dumb
he is and what poor makeshift Of .
creature that the husband begins
cooking an ear again for the voice Of
q charmer.
Oh, the technique of the vamp Is
simple enough. It is the dificulty
of following 1t at which wives balk.

\A/ sake the home fold to run
w after strange goddesses
always profess to believe
that the "other women" possess occult
powers with which they cannot COM
pete and which no man can resist.
They endow their rivals with mys-
terious and irresistible attractions
that no mere wife and mother can
either understand or emulate. Hence
they take no shame to themselves for
losing their husbands to women who
are neither younger nor better looking
nor more intelligent than they are.
For what woman can war with sirens
and vampires?
This, of course, saves the deserted
wife's face, but, in the slang of the
day, it gets her nowhere. What the
woman who has husband with a
wandering foot needs to % is to try
to find out the secret of the "other
womans" allure, the way she makes
her magic, how she throws her spell
over men, anu lmlthte HeI.
EOR, after all, the siren has no
cryptic formula for putting the
come here" upon men. What she
knows about pleasing men and max
ing them eat out Of her hand every
other woman in the world really knows.
1t is the recipe for how to get your
man and how to hold your husband
that Eve gave her Oldest daughter and
that. has been handed down from
mother to daughter ever since, and
it is made up Of equal parts of keep
ing your hair curled and your COM
plexion on and rubbing mans fur
the right way and making him feel
that in your eyes he is about feet
high, better looking than any cinema
hero and an oracle who could settle
every world problem in a minute, II
he only gave his mind to 1t.
This, in q couple Of nutshells, as
Andy would say, is the whole secret
of the vamp. Her technique Is SIM
plicity itself, and there is nothing in
it that the Dumbest Dora of q mar
ried woman could not duplicate II she
would take the trouble to do it.
The siren makes herself attractive
to the man she wants by being easy
on the eyes. She dolls herself up
and puts her best foot foremost.
Many q man has been caught by q
fluttering ribbon or a fresh wave or
a pretty frock, just as thousands upon
thousands of husbands have been lost
by sloppy kimonos and run-down-at-
the-heel shoes and faces smeared with
cold cream. The fatal attraction Of
the business girl against which wives
rage in vain is her trimness and trig-
ness and her always being well
groomed.
THEN the siren always shows an
interest in man whether she
feels it or not, which his wife seldom
bothers to do. She listens with an
alert and absorbed expression when
he talks to her and begs him to re.
peat that perfectly fascinating story
about the dog he had when he was
. little boy. She laughs ct his Jokes,
though shs may have heard than .
