Postal Alliance Seeks Finger Prints
Instead Of Photos For Identification

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. (ANP)
The use Of photographs as the
means Of identification in civil SER
vice examinations was deplored
and the finger print method was
urged in set Of resolutions adop-
ted unanimously by the National
Postal Alliance in the annual meet
ing held here last week, which Gull
minated in the reelection of Jerry
o. Gillian, Norfolk, Va, as presi-
dent.
From the welcome address de-
nvered by Mayor John T Alsop
at the opening session until the
election Of officers which marked
the close Of the convention, the
program was chockful of activities
revolving about business affecting
the members Of the organization
and the Negro race as whole,
and interspersed with social events
making this meeting one of the
most successful in the history Of
the organization.
That Negroes are slowly losing
out in the postal service mainly
through their negligence to at
tempt to qualify for Postal posi-
lions, was brought out in the ad-
dresses and in the resolutions. This
fact was viewed with alarm, as II
was shown that few, comparative
" speaking, are taking examina-
tions, many are being retired and
some are disconnecting themselves

illuminating finding, according to
Professor Logan, was the fact that

~ OTING DAUGHTER - The
contour beginning to sag q
bit cannot be frmed very
- quickly. With persistent ex-
ercise and patting there may be .
slight Improvement. Certainly the
treatment Is warranted. even II it
keeps the condition from getting
worse.
When the muscles lose their elastic
ity, they have a tendency to droop
more and more, and patting, chin
binding and exercise help to restore
the resiliency.

mother practice them. You ask If
there Is nothing to. be done to over
come the condition. are there any
tricks to disguise It? Yes. See to it
that your mother uses q little rouge,
just little. and places 1t quite high
on the cheeks-never low down. She
can also use little mascara and eye
shadow Ito match her eyes,. This
will focus attention to the top Of her

~ EFORE you begin to plan for
- the new Winter curtains and
drapes, get the rugs out Of

general to make the house coZy for
the coming Winter-take note Of the
walls! Do they need repapering or
tinting? There is generally one room
or two that needs new dress" in
the Spring or Fall Perhaps it has

have put it of from season to season,
making the old do just little longer.
But there should be no need Of drab,
dark walls, no need Of procrastina-
tion-with wall paper a few cents
roll the entire house may be re-
juvenated, every room may be clean.
fresh and bright!
SELECTING new wall paper is not
always an easy task. However,
with the large selection Of papers
available and with the able assist
ance OF an interior decorator that
many stores employ to help you to
choose a type for your need the
job should be simplified.
Delicateiy tinted paper which gives
the effect OF tinted or painted walls
has been very popular for the last
few years and continues to lead, but
the trend Is leaning considerably to-
ward figured and floral designs and
there has been an amazing revival
of striped papers that were used so
long ago! Exquisite reproductions OF
Colonial papers-soft, delicate shad-
ings, quaint figures and motifs that
were so popular at that period are
being used more and more-and they
lend themselves beautifully to the
early American type home or to the
period room.
In the cottage type home one may
be as lavish with floral and figured
paper as one pleases, but in the town
house or apartment more restraint is
REQUIRED and the choice of paper may
be limited. Furthermore, the size Of
the rooms must be considered-a small
room must naturally have an unob-
trusive paper, small, indefinite motifs
or design and should be light In colUr.
Large patterned and scenic paper
should be used only in large rooms,
and then must be carefully chosen.
\ II X \
CCENIC papers are being used more
- this year than ever and there are
many attractive and beautiful designs
to be had. They do, however, require
exercise Of care and good taste In their
use. Except in cases when q wood
base or dado is used, perhaps the most
ideal treatment Is that OF French
paneling-making one large panel OF
each wall. This may be done with
paper band and stile, or preferably.
by using . light wood molding and
painting; using q plastic effect, or q
fabric in the sitting. The slight addi-
tional trouble Of such paneling is made
worthwhile by the charming effect
obtained. It adds to the wall OF q
room what the frame does to the pic
ture-finishing the scene as though 1t
were made for each wall as well as
simplifying the arrangement of the
wall space. As o rule scenic paper
should not be hung close to the floor,
but should be raised somewhat by

TO-DAY we are concentrating on the

and interesting patterns in nursery
paper-it is truly dificult to make
choice. One Of the more unusual Is q

The design is bright red-a childs

We, suggest the smart new striped
