Rev. Burckhardt was called to
the State Prison to preach to the
inmates Sunday morning. He
joined Chaplain Maxwell in bap-
tismal rites when two fine young
colored men were baptized. Rev.
Burckhardt in making his intro
ductory remarks told the prison.
ers he was glad not to have to
stand in his church on such a cold
morning and await the coming of
his congregation "You boys
are already here, and have been
forced to cancel all outside dat
es." At this prison a real work
is being done by Chaplain Max
well for the salvation of the souls
Of the prisoners. The chaplain is
a real man of God, and in his ad.
ministration, there is no color;
all are treated alike. Chaplain
Maxwell and Rev. Burckhardt
have been close friends for over
thirty years. Mrs. E. j. Griffin,
one of the leading Missionary wor-
kers of Mount Zion Baptist
Church, is doing a good work a
mong the prisoners. She teaches
a mems Bible class each Sunday
morning in which she is putting
forth a strong effort to teach our
men that crime doesn't pay.

Machines Abolish Jobs

1.-The tremendous growth of
the machine, he continued.
has been accompanied by a
sharp decline IN the working
class. With more than fifteen
million men unemployed, we
are increasingly aware that
many will never be reemployed.
With unemployment growing.
purchasing power is reduced,
which in turn creates further
unemployment in industry. Take
a few examples; The wheat
harvest of the middle-west was
done three years ago by 5000
men where 10000 had been en-
amde three years ago by 5000
combined harvester and thresh-
er brought that about. General
Motors, in its plant at Saginaw.
Mich, used $500 men for the
work which 10000 men did two
years beforehand without low
ering production. One machine
can make as many glass tubes
as 600 men could blow 20 years
ago. There is an automobile

The Lincoln Urban League, I'M
der the supervision of Millard T.
Woods, Secretary, has so ingrat-
lated the work that is being done
upon the hearts of Lincoln white
citizens that the white members,
who are on the executive board of
the League, stood solidly behind
Woods when he asked for twenty
eight thousand dollars to carry
out the League probationary
dollar of it has been granted. Too
much credit, in this matter can
not be given DR.. A. L. Weather
lily, a Unitarian minister, who is
chairman of the board. DR.. Wea-
therly is an untiring worker,
when it comes to matters that af-
feet the race It is the writer's
wish that the Negroes, as a race,
had ten thousand such men like
DR.. Weatherly, who at all times
and under all circumstances, are
willing to help promote that
which is for the best interest of
us as a people. Mr.. 7. T. McWil-
liams, who is at the present time
touring the west, has also used
his influence to aid this program
of the League. This project will
put at least twenty of our race
group to work.
On Friday, January 31st, the
annual meeting of the Board of
Directors will be held at noon at
the Grand hotel. Five members
will be elected at this meeting.
At this time, executive secretary
M. T. Woods, will make a report
of the activities of the League
projects of the year 1885.
The chairman of the Emerg-
ency Advisory Committee called
off the meeting Monday night
because of the extreme cold wea-
Their.
Thursday night. In the absence
of the Chairman of the Contact
Committee, Secretary Woods
made the report. He reported
that many places had been con-
tacted, and that he felt in a short
time we would see the results of
the efforts which have been put
forth. Rev. Burckahrdt is chair
man of this committee; Burt
Newton, one of Lincoln's live wiz
es, is vice president and Clayton
Lewis, one of the Lincoln city en-
ployees is the secretary. This or
g~anization is opening up avenues
that have been heretofore closed
to the race group. The Negroes
Of Lincoln, because of the depres.
sion and lack of organization
have lost out in many places of
employment; but under this new
line up, with Millard T. Woods
as a leader, backed up by some
substantial men older in years of
experience, will, in the writer's
Judgment, work out a great sal
walton for the ace group, social
ly, morally and financially.

 T can't. ow."
 He could, but he wouldn't. If he moved, oil the mountain timber would crash. Then finally he did, without great effort, because he had to. And great were the bumps thereof.
 Jimmy started to cry, then, noth. ing happening, he started to cry harder. His mother said brightly, "You're all right. Now put the chairs where they belong" and walked away.
 "dood girl" I mentioned admir-
 "iie has to learn some things" she half apologlSed for her heaft- lessness. "fie simply has to stop shouting to be saved. Yesterday he fell of his wheel half block away and the children came and said he couldn't move. I got there in about nothing flat, scared to death. He was oil right, he just wanted to be picked up, and me to do the pick ing. Since then I'm letting him do most of his own rescuing."
 Another woman spoke up and said her older boy had written Q pert letter to his uncle and then was in c panic and wanted her to straiRhten the affair out for him.
 q wouldn't" she said, "becausc 1t was his own doing and he either had to stand consequences, or apologize on his own respcrisi- biiity. He wrote 6 second letter then, and also set to work to earn a dollar cutting grass, in order to take Q bus out to the farm.
 Patched Up Situation
 "lIe patched it up with his uncle himself, and l didn't ask too much about 1t. Anyway 1t did him good to worry for q week about being too impetuous. I'm like Sally here. Both Jimmy and Ted will learn that they can't always expect to pc rescued. They learn ways out"
 sgplendid," ! echoed. "But there is one little item you have not mentioned, The honest way out. There are times when circuinstan- ceg close around Q child and prove too much for his strength or his moral fibre. Sometimes he tries bluff. then again he Abs. Or blames somebody else. Tn short, 1t is the- oretlcaliy perfect, but not always practical"
 Both agreed.
 However, the pofst stands. Let children learn to depend on themselves, both physically and morally, unless real danger threat ems.

Gl0ribing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

She may have fewer figure prob- lens than her less athletic sisters, but ardent swimming IS bound to be faced with grooming difiiculties that the others never have to think about.
 Although Q daily swim keeps hips arms and waistline slender and supple, 1t also keeps hair and makes up in . state of disarray. That is, unless you learn Q few special grooming tricks.
 For instance, you ought to pin your hair high on top of your head and wrap a band of thin rubber or channels around 1t before pou put on your bathing cap. Sec that the channels fits snugly and that all of your curls are piled above the upper edge of 1t.
 When you have finished your swim, remove the cap and channels immediately, then push waves and curls back into place before you sit in the sun to dry. Always comb and arrange your coiffure before drying.
 If you want to look attractive in the water as weli-as out, use water proof makeup; IndeIible lipstick, ape piled correctly, will stay on for hours. Simply dry your lips before you put 1t on and give 1t @ chance to set before you dive into the water.
 If you object to a shiny corl- plexion even when on the beach, try setting your powder with tonic or plain water. One cosmetic company puts up a small kit of preparations which, if used according to direc- tiotis, will keep any bather's skin attractive and perfectly made up. You clean your skin first, of course, then smooth on Q special foundation cream, blending 1t carefully. Over this goes Q lavish coat of powder. Use a powder brush or Q piece Of fluffy cotton to remove only the exc cess. Dip a cotton pad in skin tonic, squeeze until almost dry, then pct lightly over the powered surface. The foundation holds the powder and the tonic sets 1t. resulting in an attractive, lasting mat finish.
 Cream rouge Is to be used after foundation. For this type of make up. dry rouge is not very satissae- tory.
 Even though your skin is nicely tanned and you no longer have to worry about burning and blleteTins, do keep on using your favorlte sula- tan lotion ca the beach. yt will pre- vent excessive drylnenees and keep th skin on your legs, arms, shoulders and back smooth end eoit.

MANAGEMENT or INFANT
 NURSING

MANAGEMENT OF INFANT NURSING
 The new born baby should be put to the breast four times Q day in the first three or four days and en- couraged to nurse. After lactation becomes established, even though this is delayed for c week or ten days, the baby should be nursed on 6 clockwork schedule ct intervals of three hours (except once in the nighO for the first month or two. The interval may be heightened to | 2 l-2 or even { hours after the third month in most instances; and al- ways the baby should sleep undis- turbed for one stretch of six hours In the night.
 These rules apply as well to arti- ilcial feeding.
 The best way to tell whether the baby gets enough milk from the breast is by weighing the baby im- mediately before and again iTnmedi- ately after nursing: unless the weight increases ct least 6 ounces the breast feeding must be supple mented with bottle feeding. Or when the baby. has stopped nurs- ing, If he eagerly accepts Q bottle feeding. that indicates the nursing is insufiicient.
 An ideal way to supplement breast feeding that is insufiicient is by hoodwinking the baby. To do this, put the proper milk mixture is bot tic with small rubber tube attached. Insert end of tube in corner of baby's mouth along with the nipple, SO that when the baby draws at the nipple he will get also Q little milk from the bottle. By regular use of this plan c mother who is at first incapable of nursing may regain full capacity and discard the bottle altogether.
 While nursing, mother must not rock, jiggle or move the baby about How would you like to be so han dled while taking your dinnerS She should either hold the baby in her arms as she sits in Q comfortable chair, or lie down beside the baby, She may croon a soft lullaby as the baby drops of asleep, but 1t Is bad policy to insis ton special silence or other special provisions to favor
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-27

sleeping. The baby must be trained to sleep regardless of the ordinary sounds of life about him. Only un- usual or extraordinary noises and excitement should be avoided.
 If the baby does not readily bee gin to suckle, few drops of milk expressed into his mouth will start him. Normally the baby nurses in little runs of brisk suckllng with short intervals of rest. The nursing may take from ten to fifteen Inin- utes. If the baby stops and does not resume, 1t may be because he has had enough. Again 1t may be because he has swallowed some air. If your accurate baby scale shows he has received the number of ounces he should receive, gently put him in his crib to sleep. If he has swallowed air, he ought to "burp" c bit: mother should hold him near ly upright over her shoulder and gently pat him on the back till the bubble of air escapes from his mouth. Then if he seems hungry let him finish nursing.
 Young infants have Q way of tell. ing you when they are overfed. They regurgitate or voinit the ex- cess almost between gurgles or yowls. If, with such reorganization of superiiuous food, the baby draws up his legs, gets red in the face and cries like anything--please remember. 1t Is NOT "colic" nor line digestion" but simply the baby's way of telling you he wishes you would have more sense.

 The fashioned blocmers have come back into styIe--but they aren't the voluininolis folds of ale paca which used to sink or swim back in the early 1DO0s.

The latter are often finished with square Iiliddy collars trimmed with white braid and ell1- broidered with various marine if1- signiag.
