The Troubles of Europe.

WE MAY have our own trou-
w bles, including so many
mounting taxes over the land and
so much mountain music over the
radio, but what with Spain rent
by internal war, and France hav-
ing strikes which almost approxi-
mate war, and Poland threaten
ing revolt against Nazi control of
what, laughably, is called the
Free" City of Danzig, and the
rest of them pretty generally stew
ing in their respective political cas-
seroles, we're lucky.
In fact 1 can think of but one
thing the European nations have
which we could use, but, alas, will
never get, needless to say. 1 refer
to the money they owe us.

wells intelligent young daughter,
Marcia, aged twelve, who, in part
nership with her friends, Mary
Frances Cottrell and Joyce Hell
mick, organized "a laundry for
washing dogs" They advertised:
Small dogs, 80 cents; middlesized
dogs, 35 cents; groomed and
washed Dogs not good-natured
must be sent with muzzles, and we
cannot wash large dogs"
Too bad that parental severity
broke up the dog laundry. 1t had
announced working hours 40 a. m.
to S p. m. on Saturdays" the stu
dious little girls only holiday, "all
hours after school on other week.
days"
What good example for govern
ment enterprises: the little girls
really meant to work to groom
and wash" the dogs, not merely
stand around and collect the 80
cents.
Plucky little Holland and her
wise queen seem to have decided
that the 1914 war to end all wars"
did not finish its job. Holland went
through the big war safely, selling
butter, cheese, eggs, not disturbed,
not making any bad $40, 900, 900, 900
loans.
Now Holland is buying 13 heavy
bombing planes in Baltimore,
spending S1,500,OO0 for the IS, and
spending many other millions for
other killing machinery.
That means work and wages in
Baltimore; it may mean poison gas
and death for some of Hollands
neighbors.
Foreign countries read every
thing said about them in America;
not that foreign countries care
what Americans think, or attach
importance to American opinion,
as such; but America has money,
raw products, and governments
that are sometimes whimsical,
changeable and boyish.
Europe. Asia and Africa watch
with equal interest statements of
Americans that count and more
numerous Americans that float
like feathers in the air.
One simple minded Russian
pointed with pride to the statement
OF clergyman in our Union The
illogical seminary.
That gentleman, Rev. Charles c.
Webber, has a plan for a better
government, not based on the text
about rendering unto Caesar that
which is Caesars. The big idea is
to take away what is Caesars.
Eight hundred young people
were told by Reverend Webber:
God, who is not content with
things as they are, is a revolution
ary Being, constantly seeking to
make all things new"
Rev. Webber, recognizing this"
about God being a revolutionist,
has plan to help God in his eff
forts; plan as simple as A, B, c.
Capitalism, he says, must be abol-
ished. Rev. Webber wants
planned and planning social econ
omy in the United States. Under
the Charles c. Webber plan, peo-
pie would own and manage such
things as industry and property;
no money would be spent for war,
and youth would rule.
Those brought up with the olo-
fashioned idea of God might ask
Rev. Webber, respectfully: IF God
really is revolutionary constant
ly seeking to make all things new,'
why does He not carry out His will
and make all things new every
few minutes? Can it be that He
needs the help of Rev. Webber?
Lenin and Stain got along without
that help"
Also arises this question: With
capitalism abolished, who would
build the churches, the Union The
illogical seminaries, and pay sal
aries to Rev. Webbers for reading

On Saturday evening, July IL,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lorenzo f.. Reid en-
tertained members and friends Of
the Variety Hour Players at their
home at 1412 Monroe Avenue with
a buffet supper.
The affair was given as a ges-
ture of appreciation for the fine
work done by the Players. This
group has presented some fifteen
dramatic skits at radio station
WJBK under the aegis of the
Booker T. Washington Trade AS
ISOLATION. These broadcasts have
ended for the summer and are to
be resumed in the fall.
The plays presented by the
Players have all been written and
directed by Robert e. Hayden, De-
troit poet and playwright, with the
cooperation of MIR. and Mrs. Reid,
who were in charge of the music
for the Negro Variety Hour pro-
grams, and who are active in De-
troit music circles. Each play or
series of plays has dealt with some
aspect of the Negroes contributions
to American history, art, letters,
and education; and the Players
have won an extensive radio audi
ence. The first offering Of this
group was Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot" a dramatization of the
origin of this beloved old spiri-
tual. The last was a series of three
plays dealing with the life and
career of Paul Laurence Dunbar.
The Players took time out from
Saturday evenings festivities to
discuss informally plans for their
first public appearance as an in
tegrated dramatic group. They
have been requested by Mrs. Mary
Cardwell Dawson, vice-president
of the National Negro Musicians
Association, which convenes here
in August, to enact one of their
radio plays before the convention.
The play to be given consists OF
two scenes from a series of three
plays entitled Let My People Go, -
dealing with the Civil War activi-
| ties Of Harriet Tubman. The play
will be staged with a stirring mu-
steal background. Let My People
! Go" was one of the most success
full presentations broadcast by the
Players.

Next time you have your hair set
by a professional operator, ask
her to help you select a pomade

necessary to have the hair set

The pomade must be applied on
the scalp, never on the hair itself.
When it is rubbed into the scalp
properly, it soon imparts a sheen

Part the hair into strands and

This treatment can be used once

So many women have asked me
for advice about what to do for
excessive perspiration that we'd
better discuss it in this column,
especially since the warm weather
season is in full swing.
Women who perspire freely
about the face should be very
careful in applying makeup, using
as little powder and rouge as pos
sible. If makeup is applied heavily
in an attempt to overcome the eff
fects Of perspiration, it vii lbe-
come clotted and streaked due to
the moisture. The appearance, as
a result, is much worse than 1t
would be if no makeup were used
at all.
Before applying any powder, it
is a good idea to rinse the face
with witch hazel or any good
astringent lotion. This has a mild
ly astringent effect that will check
the flow of perspiration to some
extent and also cool and soothe the
skin.
In selecting a face powder, be
sure to get one as light in weight
as possible. The heavier a powder
is, the more it will tend to become
clotted when it is moist. There
fore. a powder almost as light and
fine as a talcum is the best warm
weather makeup for those who
perspire freely.
Moist skins, however, do have
one advantage. They usually look
fresh and smooth, and do not ac-
quire that parched, dried-out look
that summertime sometimes brings
to those with drier compilations.
Consequently, the girl with moist
skin frequently looks her best if
she uses no makeup on her skin at
all, with the possible exception OF
a little powder to keep her nose
and forehead from becoming shiny
If lips, eyes, eyebrows and hair
are attractively groomed, her clear
natural skin will be quite pretty
without the aid of makeup.
In addition to frequent bathing
to keep the skin fresh and clean
we should guard against any sug-
