 It is a very fine list and the wo- men selected are very fine women' but there is something sadly ln- complete about it all.
 All the women on the list II you noticed, are women of means They have the time and the money to devote to costume' why shouldn't they be well dressed? What we'd like to see is a list with prize winners something like these;
 Sally Spifkins, best-dressed dime store sales girl. who manages to look neat and attractive on the $Z A week she is able to lay aside for clothes: and Mary Jones, the housewife who keeps trim and sty- fish in spite of the fact that she cooks three meals a day, makes flock of beds, looks after three small children, does a lot of wash ing and ironing and dusting, and has a very skinny budget to han die.

composite Christian, according to Dr..
Louis A. Warren, director of The

who today announced the results Of
an analysis Of Lincoln's religious con-
facts.
"The Christmas season with its re-
hglous atmosphere makes these find
ings Of especial interest at this time"
DR.. Warren declared. "Those who
have lived under the direct influence
Of but one church, as most people do,
will be interested in noting the many
and varied types of religious teach
ings with which Abraham Lincoln was
more or less acquainted"
"Lincoln said that his ancestors
were Quakers," Dr.. Warren observed
in his analysis. ellis parents were
married by a Methodist preacher, but
0 Q they became members of an
anti-slavery Baptist Church. Lincoln's
first school teacher was Of Catholic
faith and in his old age entered a
Trappist Monastery. The father of
the President Joined the Christian or
Disciple Church after reaching Illinois
and died a member of that body. At

In the style Of Damon Runyon We

that this was the place he was 10 live
and die. The dogs name was Bozo.
The mans doesn't matter, for this is
Bozo's tale.
In the course Of time he became
Mrs. Lula Talbert's dog. Her nephew
also adopted him. Bozo and he ear
ried papers, or so Bozo thought he
was, for a year. During this time
Bozo and an airdale named Buster,
owned by Flossie Clarke, decided be-

were in vogue, that the dog folk
should get in en- some Of it. So they
ruled Hamilton street. But as old
age crept upon both of them, they de-
cided that retirement was a fine
thing, Buster going his way, and Bozo

Scottsboro Boys Not To Die
On February Eighth

Washington, Jan. THE unfiinch-
ing fight of the International Labor
Defense to win the liberation of the
S~cottsboro boys today brought anoth-
er victory when the United States Su-
preme Court announced that it would
grant a review of the death verd1cts
in the cases Of Clarence Norris and
Haywood PatteraAn.
The announcement of review auto
matically stays the execution of the
two innocent Negro boys condemned
to die in the electric chair on Feb. g..
Mr.. L~eibowitz, who deserted the
case at its most crucial moment, had
freely predicted that the Supreme
Court would not agree to review the
case because Of the LAUNDERING" Of
the |. L. D. sttorneys. Today's an
nouncement by the Supreme Court
refutes that statement.
Just at the moment when the I. L.
D. was straining all its energies to
mobilize all possible support for the
boys in the fight in the Supreme Ceurt
Leibowitz left the 81 to organize a
vicious assault on the I. L. D.
The victory today reveals the ut
terly unscrupulus and vicious charac-
ter Of tie Leibowitz attacks, and also
shows how dangerous they are to the
welfare of the Scottsboro boys.
Funds Needed
With the announcement by the Su-
pren,e Court, the national office Of the
international Labor Defense rushed
all preparations for the necessary
legal papers and briefs for the coming
appeal before the court. 1t issued an
urgent call for funds to carry the fight

Booze decided that friends, human

are what he rot. As Jimmy Durante
would say, He got nilhons Of them.
Bozs loved them all, those Of the
social world and those Of the under

from an assassin's ground glass and
meat.
When Bozo's friends heard Of his
death, they all swallowed hard and
said" That's too bad" but when they
heard he had been poisoned, they
swore vengeance on the assassin
should his identity ever be revealed.
But as the good book says, "The reap
er takes all sooner or later.
Bozo, who was II years old, barked
welcome at two mayors Of Omaha and
a presidential candidate, F. d. Roose-

Bezo is in dog heaven now, and all
