Washington Merry-Go-Round
BY DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

XX7ASHINGTON, Feb. THE
w Supreme Court, pfesiden-
tial politics and the debate on
neutrality have pushed the relief
problem out of the limeight re-
Gently. But behind the scenes a
big storm is brewing.
The President withheld relief
estimates in his budget message
to Congress, explaining he would
submit them in the spring when
requirements could be gagged
more accurately. Unmentioned, but
a definite part of this maneuver,
is the secret plan of the Admin
istration drastically to slash Fed
eral relief expenditures by re-
shifting the load to the states and
cities.
The extent to which this has
already been done, however, is not
generally realized.
Direct relief has been entirely
discontinued, several million So
called "unenployables" have been
thrown wholly back on their own
localities. Finally these localities
have been required to put up vary
ing proportions of work-relief and
public works costs.
But while the public is not
aware of this development, local
authorities are most acutely so.
Particularly is this true of the
mayors With treasures already
strained to the breaking point,
they are being called on to provide
large sums for tragic army of
needy whose numbers remain
practically unchanged despite the
upturn of business.
This was the desperate dilemma
behind the recent announcement
of the United States Conference Of
Mayors that it would demand a
new $2,3400 100000 relief appropria-
ton for the next fiscal year.
The figure is not a guesswork
calculation. 1t is based on specific
information, obtained from a Sc
cret QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
Conference to 1873 cities and every
state in the Union.
The poll uncovered some re-
vealing facts, chief among them
that, despite all the clamor for
economy, local and state authori-
ties emphatically believe that
present Federal relief expenditures
are inadequate and should be in
creased.
The results of the poll are being
compiled and are to be laid before
Congress by a special committee
of mayors, appointed to lobby for
more relief funds.

increased, Wee QUINCY said, That

Right now he's doing fine. I Won

"Oh, why should you start fret

Gives Few
Beauty Tips
Considers Artful Use
of Perfume Is
Important.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.


TIME was when prima donnas were
a Joy to the ears, but not SO easy
on the eyes They were buxom and
brawny and no one thought of them in
terms of beauty contests or movie
contracts.
But the divas Of this day are
different, delightfully."- so. Hollywood
has opened eager arms in welcome
for prima donnas of today look as
lovely, as they listen"
Lucille Manners. one of the loveliest
young prima donnas Of radio fame,
divulges a few secrets. The first is
on the artful use of perfume. Per-
fume, as you know. is successful when
subtle. Just as soon as it becomes
obvious 1t loses some of its enchant-
ment. Even the method of appli-
cation, instead of putting her fra
GRANGE behind the ears, which has
become a habit with most of us,
Lucille puts drop or two at the
back of her neck and touches per-
fume-dipped fingers very lightly to
the back of each wrist. Subtlety again.
The back-o -the-ears application has
become the expected" thing, there
fore the switch. And you get a
faint Whit of her perfume when she
moves. Whenever she moves her hands
there is persuasive, mysterious hint
of perfume. No one is quite sure
where it comes from, and it is that
tantalizing, elusive quality that stirs
the Imagination and invites romance.
Miss Manners emphasizes that the
first rule, which you already know,
I'm sure, is: Never apply perfume
to the clothing, except in the case
of special perfumes for certain furs.
Instead. apply it directly to the skin.
And another hint which should like
to ada. word of caution-don't
superimpose one scent on another.
Lucille is one of the few smart
young moderns who clings to the
thin, raised eyebrow line. In her
case, however, it isn't altogether a
personal choice. She does movie work
frequently and the makeup men
insist that the natural, low line of
her brows is less flattering to the
eyes than the artificially placed one.
But even if my eyebrows are only
a shadow of their former selves"
Lucille told me laughingly. IT still
continue to brush them and treat
them regularly with Oil or vaseline." ("
And that's hint all of you plucked-
eyebrow girls should remember!
