Brewery Interests
Threaten Retailers

An example of the lengths to
which the Twin City brewery in
terests are going to stifie the fight
of Twin City Negroes for employ
ment in the breweries was illus
trated last week when sales rep
resentatives of one of the larger
st. Paul breweries attempted to
have a beer retailer retract state
ments he made in a letter to this
paper.
The attempt harks back to the
days when breweries controlled all
Of the smaller saloons and the
drinking places.
Because this small retail
houses business is 95 per cent Ne
gro, he endorsed this newspapers
fight to obtain equitable employ
ment opportunities for the colore6
people. The brewery interests
have attempted to retaliate by CO.
ercion.
That such attempts will not get
them any place is illustrated by
the fact that some of the Twin
City retailers plan to meet and call
on the breweries in a body to urge
consideration for the Negro work
er.

Chief Negro
Movie Figure;
Former Resident

Chas. E. Butler Hires All Extras
Los Angeles, June 12-The prin-
cipal figure in the Aim business as
far as the Negro is concerned is a
former resident of Minneapolis,
Charles E. Butler.
Mr.. Butler, who lived in Mime
apols about fourteen years ago, is
manager of the Negro department
Of the Central Casting Bureau of
Hollywood, California. This bureau
is the employment agent for 95 per
cent of all extra and bit players in
the movie industry Hundreds of
the Negro extras you see in various
pictures are okeyed by the former
Minnesotan. Many of the Mime
apolis people remember Mr.. Butler
While this paper is familiar with
Mr.. Buffers position and influence
in Hollywood, the fact that many
Twin City people did not know of
his position led Mrs. Frances Nc
Adams of Minneapolis to call our
attention to this man to whom so
many people go to seek employ
ment. The minimum wage in the
movie industry in Hollywood is five
dollars per day.

Boston, June 14.-William M.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPRoWLS.

THIRTY years ago psychologists
spent lot of energy studying
the psychology of the early years of
life. This was and still is of great
importance. But, while they we're
doing all this. they were overlooking
a period that is just as important.
if not more important. After all,
the world work is done by men and
women in their middle years. Forty
TO sixty is a truly remarkable period
in the life of any individual
How may one describe the mental
life of the average middle years?
Vain groupings" is not a misnomer
by any means. 1t appears that most
persons at 40-plus are seeking new
social contacts. They seem to realize
in some vague way that much that
they had hoped for in youth has
somehow miscarried. The routine of
the settled 40s and SOS becomes the
driving force for new ventures.
Club life fiourishes. especially among
women. The automobile has, perhaps,
done something to provide the means
of contact with new faces, places and
hobbies. But. while it has done all
this, some studies seem to show that
in most cases it tends to spread mo-
notony rather than to eradicate it,
At any rate. something more is needed.
That's what the psychologists are now
looking for.

Salad Eating
And RelatiOn
To Courses
Placing of the Napkin
When Called Away
for Few Minutes.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: In one of
your articles you stated that
when salad is served on a separate
plate with the meat course. it may
be put on the right of the dinner
plate. 1t seems to me, with the diff
ferent glasses and the coffee cup, the
extra plate would make the arrange
ment very one-sided and altogether
too crowded. I have never seen the
salad placed on any side but the
left and wonder if perhaps your di-
rection was misprint."
Answer never In my life gave a
direction for serving salad with the
main, or meat course, because I think
it an abominable practice and never
encountered in perfectly run house.
1t is encountered in hotels-sometimes
even in best hotels-and so are other
details of service that would be equally
wrong in private house service. 1t
is. however, proper to put salad
plate at the left of the plate used
for game, or hot fowl, to be eaten as
salad course.
Cold meat or game or fowl is eaten
on the salad plate. And in most
modern houses salad is eaten on the
hot game plate. This is, however,
question of personal like or dislike.
1t is true that I have written often
that, in ones own house, one should
be free to have and to do what one
personally likes. Moreover, whenever
rules are hampering, it is only sensible
to adapt them to ones own use. But
If you are asking about what is cor
rect, salad may be served with meat
in place of hot vegetables, but not
with them.
Dear Mrs. Post: When a person
is called away from the table during
the meal, but is to return in few
minutes, should his napkin be laid
on the table, on the chair seat, or
taken with hin?"
Answer-It does not matter in the
least. Usually it is left on the table,
folded together loosely at the side
of the plate.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it absolutely
necessary to use a table mat under
a lace or madeira tablecloth, es-
pecially if hot dishes are not served?"
Answer-They are never used unless
1t is necessary to protect the finish
of the table from hot dishes or plates
or wet tumblers. For the latter glass
coasters are much better than mats
under the cloth.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is an efficient
secretary expected to tell the where
abouts of her employer, if he hap
pens to be away on business when
friends call, or telephone him?"
Answer-This depends entirely upon
whether her employer would want
the information given or not. The
ability to develop quickly the dis
eliminating sense of knowing when
to tell what is one of the essential
qualifications Of an excellent secre-
tary.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is the mother
of the bridegroom expected to write
thank you notes to the brides
parents and to the other relatives
who entertained at the sons we'd
ding. The home is several hundred
miles away"
Answer-It Is, of course, obligatory
that she write to the brides mother,
If they stayed in their house, or to
any one else with whom they stayed.
Otherwise, though not necessary, it
would be polite II she wrote notes
to others who were especially kind
and hospitable.

Regular Care.
OF Eyebrows
Is Necessary
Proper Grooming of
Them Is Put Among
Beauty Habits.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

WHY is it that some women have
to "fuss" frantically-come an
unexpected last-minute engagement

it at a seconds notice. It's an inter
esting enough study, if you want to
look into it. You'll probably find that
the difference lies in those little things
that the frantic one leaves undone.
saves up, while the other manages
them smoothly enough as part OF the
daily routine.
I'm all for including eyebrow groom
ing among the daily beauty habits.
Because I've seen what devastating
things the unkempt brow can do for
a face. Not only the brow that ha
been saved up for two or three
weeks, but the brow of few days.
If it's a brow that hasn't been
plucked or primped for quite while

And if there's some real shaping an
arching to do an expert can doubtle5a
do it better than you can.
Habit Easily Formed.
Once the brow is shaped and
cleaned 1t is very easy TO form the
habit of doing away with the little
wild hairs as fast as they grow in
Keep your tweezer handy, right near
your makeup box if you have one
Once formed the habit becomes as
much part of you as powdering your
nose. And thereafter you can forget
your brow worries. At least you need
never be concerned about an unkemp
brow Earring with an otherwise cared
for finished" face.
Two things to remember: Be sure
that your tweezer is sterilized at al
times. That's easily done by dipping
it in alcohol And be sure that the
plucking is done with one quick mo-
ton in the direction in which the hair
grows. Otherwise there is danger OF
the hair breaking, also of it growing
in in the wrong direction land you
know how very wild even a few little
hairs can look if they are out of step
in the line of march.
Light BrowS.
If the brows are very light, darken
them with a pencil, mascara or have
them permanently dyed (there are
few really harmless brow and lash
dyes on the market) which will keep
them dark for months. Remember
brown. not black, for blends. 1t adds
character to the face without giving
an obviously artificial look.

lover. and say, Speak for yourself,
John Alden"
The next time a boy commences
telling you how much he loves an
other girl just yawn in his face and
tell him that other peoples Senti-

you-that you have heart troubles of
your own. When you become nothing

you put yourself out of the running
You withdraw from the competition in
the boys minds, and they think of
you as they do of Aunt Hannah in
stead Of a lady love.
In reality, you are in luck that you
attract the older men instead of the
boys, because the older men are the
marrying men. Don't delude yourself
into thinking that what you call
confirmed bachelor is hopeless. No
man is a confirmed bachelor under 80
