Dear Miss Shelby:
What is the advisability of
using cocoa butter on the legs
and face?
How long would it be before
results are obtained?
Sincerely,
MRS. j. H.
Dear Mrs. j. H.:
The use of cocoa butter on
the face or body is harmless
and often effective in helping
put on little more flesh.
Apply to legs after a warn
bath when the pores are still
open. Massage until the prer
aration is absorbed by tn
pores.
Before applying cleanse yoW
face with soap and water O.
with cream. Place a hot towe
over the face for a minute OF
two, then apply the warm cocos
butter, using an upward, out
ward movement. Leave on al.
night.
1t is impossible to state how
long it will be before results are
noted. It depends altogether
upon your condition.

you can procure any articl

One Of the secrets of making
good coffee is keeping the perco-
lator or coffee maker perfectly
clean and free from the sedi-
ment and stain resulting from
coffee. This may be accom-.
plished by frequently boiling
water in which one teaspoon
baking soda has been added,
for about ten minutes. The
soda helps to remove the stain
and to keep the container fresh

The effect on the school children
Of the crisis is plainly evident in
statistics on the health of the Min
neapolis school children, submitted
by Dr. F. E. Harrington, director Of
hygiene in the schools. OF a total
of 1884 children that were exam
ined by school physicians from Sep
TENDER, 1888, to June, 1884, almost
half of them are suffering from
gross or retarding effects" in the
words of DR.. Harrington. The exact
number of children so classified is
1859.
Of that number 1919 children are
suffering from "nutritionsl defects, So
which in plain English means that
they are starved, and 3,187 from

doubt is the result of the misery
parents in Minneapolis undergo,

Glass Strike

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. THE
strike of 1920 glass workers was
ended early yesterday when Glen
McCabe, president of the Federation
of Flat Glass Workers of America
CA. F. of Id agreed to a five per
cent wage increase and ordered the
strikers back to work at the Creigh-
ton and Ford City plants of the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company.
The workers were striking for a
20 per cent increase in wages, the
checkoff of union dues, and better
working conditions. No statement
was made by either McCabe, the
committee of ten from the union,
or the company concerning the
checkoff. The contract signed by
McCabe runs till next fall, it was
announced to the press today.
The walkout had been 100 per
cent effective in the two local plants
since Jan. IS. A similar stoppage
at the Libby -Owene-Ford Company
plant in Toledo was averted through
the work of McCabe.

Youth Urged to Shun Cooperation with Capital

Several hundred youth delegates,
representing tens of thousands of
youth in the midwestern states, will
meet In st. Paul, MINI, on Satur-
day and Sunday. They are coming
in response to a call by the League
for Independent Political Action" to
organize the Midwest Youth Con-
ference. This League for Indepen-
dent Political Action" is closely re-
lated to Gov. Olson's Farmer-Labor
Party.
The aim of these youth delegates
is to form movement to win bet
ter conditions for the Midwest youth
and if possible, to develop political
action towards this end.
Young Communists everywhere
support the struggles of the youth
for better and happier life. They
believe that this conference, reflect
ing the desperate misery, growing
discomfort and political conscious
ness of the youth, comes out of the
pressing need of the youth to find
way out of their miserable con-
ditions. After five terrible years of
crisis-the American youth see no
future.
We do not need to go into a
windy discussion of the fact that
Roosevelt and his N. r. A. and A.
A, A. have worsened the living con-
ditions of the working and farm
youth. Mass misery among the
youth in the Middle West is fright
full. It demands a fighting program
CT unity and action.
A Program for Youth
AS a youth who is active in youth
struggles, I would like to suggest
few ideas that may be of some
help.
Such a program of struggle as
youth needs already does exist. 1t
is the program of the American
Youth Congress, formed in New

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 7. - With
Jack tombstone, District Organizer
of the Communist Party, taking
personal charge of all drive activity,
the Daily Worker subscription drive
here is fast picking up steam.
Thirty-hve delegates, represent
ing Communist Party units and
mas organizations, attended the
conference which mapped out the
campaign in the Pittsburgh district.
The conference assigned quotas to
the Party sections and set up q
broad District Daily Worker Com
naittee. 1t called for every Party
section to establish a special drive
committee in its territory.
Prizes will be given to the mass
organizations and Party units which
secure the highest number of srfo-
Sc1iptions. First prize is a set Of
Lenin's collected works.
The Hill territory has be n
chosen as one of the main concen-
tration points for the drive. A COM
mittee of Daily Worker Agents and
Daily Worker Builders has already
been organized 10 direct activity
there.
Every Party section is to enter
workers in the contest for the free

Strike Closes
Troy Shirt Mill

TROY, N. Y, Feb. THE Lion
Brand Shirt and Collar Company's
plant, employing 400 workers, has
been shut by strike. The cause
of the walkout was when the com
pany declared that the general 10
per cent wage increase for all cot
ton garment workers, which is now
to go into effect, will be deducted
because the company was forced to
grant the raise last May.
Fifty workers of the Troy Novelty
Company are also on strike, de-
handing wage increases ranging
from 20 to 30 per cent.

direction and leadership of the
Communist Party. For example, a
woman textile worker, Natalia
Ivanova, from the Kalinin Textile
Center, told the press of how she
worked as a house servant for a
kulak at the age of twelve, entered
a cotton mill at Is, and now is a
deputy of the Kainin Soviet and a
member of the All-Union Congress.
She says: MY life started only
when Soviet power was born. though
I am AZ years old. There are 48
machines and many people under
my influence I study and read the
newspapers until very late at night,
I would rather not eat than not
study"
The same development has taken
place among the collective farm
ers. Present or this Soviet Con-
gress, and already elected to the
next, is a collective farmer from
near Kiev, Deputy Filinenko. He
was one of the leaders in the apph-
cation of the decisions of the first
congress of collective farmers, to
kick out the kulaks.
His kolkhoz was formerly one of
the most backward. In the last
two years it achieved 500 pounds
per acre of grain and during the
drought had a surplus of $1,000
pounds. which the cooperative sold,
and bought truck, built two
stables. holding 100 horses each,
also 100 hogs, g good piggery, and
the same number Of big cattle in
the COW barn.

favor Of such a program of unity
and struggle. It will improve the
immediate conditions of the youth.
It will help to break the youth away
from the old discredited leaders
and parties who have misersbly
failed to relieve our suffering.
Not only should youth accept this
fighting program Of the American
Youth Congress, it should affiliate
with the American Young Commu-
mist. It would be a great inspira-
ton and attraction to the Midwest
youth to know they are an i'm
portant part of one militant united
front movement of LOO, 900 youth.
1t would strengthen them a thou
sand-fold. Af1liation would not
mean giving up independence. It
would be a giant step forward.

condition the roads are in. THE
records of the roads," states the
Times, "show that, as a group, the
losses from unfortunate investments
by railroads Overshadow their adj
mitted gains in efficiency and econ
Omy in the last ten years."
This was followed on Jan. 81 with
a statement made by committee
of bondholders of the Missouri
Pacific. largest railroad in the Van
Sweringen group, accusing j, P,
Morgan & Co. and Kuhn-Loeb Of
so Juggling the affairs of this road
as to get the money for themselves
and leave it bankrupt The bank
ruptcy of the line, write the bond
holders, is no business made bank
ruptcy, no depression-made bank
ruptcy, but a financiers' and pro-
moters' bankruptcy out of which
the bankers made millions in stock
exchange commissions, promoters
commissions and flotation COM
missions"
1t will be recalled that it was
this road which bought, in 1929,
the Union Terminal Railroad Co, a
nine-mile railroad with three loco
motives, for $4.300,000, paying 1920
a share, when it was worth at the
most 500 a share.
If the railroads, with their treas
uries subject to raids by financial
pirates through speculation and in
flated capitalization, are to cover
even their present fixed charges,
they would require increases in
gross operating revenues, absolutely
impossible of realization. For ex-
ample, the Atlantic Coast Line
would require 70 per cent in
crease in gross revenue; the Wa
bash a As per cent increase; the
C. 81 N. w. 43 per cent increase;
the Central Of Georgia 81 per cent
increase, and so on.
Prospect for Workers
Therefore, not to inconvenience
stock and bondholders, the railroad
workers are expected to take it in
the neck. Wages are again to be
cut, although 2 per cent deduc-
ton is now being made for a con-
tributory pension, and this assess
ment will no doubt be increased to
cover increased costs, when the bill
is finally remodeled to suit the
roads. The cost of living has gone
up some Is per cent on the necessi-
ties of life; food, clothing, etc. Rail
road wages, which on April ! will
be restored to within per cent of
what they were before the cuts of
1925, are actually considerably
lower, due to the sharp practices
carried on by the roads: demotions,
reclaSSifications, work sharing,
abolition of jobs requiring men to
take work at less pay, etc.
1t is true that the Railway Labor
Executives were able to diSband the
Chicago Conference which met to
hear Esstman's proposals and the
counter proposals of the railroad
unions, without giving the 1900
General Chairmen a chance to
discuss how to effectively utilize the
strike power of the twenty one
railroad Brotherhoods against the
plans of the roads terminal by ter
minal, and nationally to defeat re-
peal Of amendments to the Emer-
geney Transportation Act, remov-
ing all restrictions on layoffs.

Vanced metal countries in an I'M,
precedented short time. The Soviet
and farmers, and their dele
gates to the Congress, have never
forgotten the jibe formerly made by
bourgeois economists abroad: you
may buy modern machinery, but you
can't operate it." The Soviet work
ers are rejoicing over the obvious
evidence that they can manage in
dustry, can learn technique.
For example, the Director of the
Kirov Mil, formerly the Putilov
Mil at Leningrad, drew great APP
plause from the Congress when he
declared:
Every day sees an increase in
technique, raising the enthusiasm
of the masses. How great a JOY it
is to work for our own country, I'M
der a leader like Stalin!"
Tri6esmen Gain Skill
Delegate Rosit from Cherchek-
stroi Chemical Combinat, in Vzbe-
kistan, told of how in one year 800
members of primitive tribe be-
came highly skilled workers. With
their help, it was possible to fulfill
the construction plan 100 per
cent; 1853 buildings and So miles of
railroad we're also constructed.
All turbines and chemical appa-
ratus are now made in the Soviet
Union. I'VE are building not only
combinat," declared Rosit, I'VE
are building a conscious, trained
proletsriat for big industry"
These new cadres of trained
workers have grown up under the
