BOSS OUTFIT HAS
ITS FACE LIFTED
By ARTHUR HOPKINS

MINNEAPOLIS. - The Min
neapolis Citizens Alliance, long
The bane of union labor until the
advent Of the rejuvenated Drivers
Union, local 544, upon the scene
ia 1933-34, has been dissolved. In
It's place there has been set UP
by the local bosses, who now pro-
4ess a more enlightened attitude
toward organized labor, an organ
iEation called the Associated In
austries of Minneapolis. The
same officers and board of di-
Fectors that guided the old boss
organization to it's discrediting
and downfall will be on hand to
direct the policies of the new Or
Ganization.
Minneapolis workers are intel
6gent enough to perceive that the
same old vicious anti-labor tao
ties which animated the Citizens
Alliance are only covered with q
new veil, which will be removed
ct the first outbreak of the open
class struggle.
Due to a series of struggles
With the old Citizen Alliance,
during which the workers of
Minneapolis have hardened them
selves considerably, local work
ers have become wary enough to
doubt any professions of the
bosses as to change in DISPOSE,
ton. The bosses are beneficiaries
Of capitalism, and capitalism is
the enemy.

Honorable p. G.. Peterson
House of Representatives
Helena Montana
Dear Mr.. Peterson:
By way, of reply to your inquiry in regard to
your people in Sheridan County, when the quota
was cut from 1880 to- $500 an agreement was
made between the WPA and the Resettlement
Administration would accept all farm labor cases
and would give them grants for the month fol-
lowing the month they got paid on the WPA
program
l advised by Mr.. Horsford that there is
some congestion at this time due to the large
number of cases involved, but that grants will
be issued to all of these cases. believe YOU
can depend upon this, although l can not give,
you any definite date as to when these checks
will be received. The Resettlement Administra-
ton is making an effort to get checks to all
these people not later than thirty days after the
receipt of the last check
Inc reason the number working on WPA in
your district was so greatly reduced was because
OF the large percentages of farmers in vour COM
mun!ty. We were required; as you know, to take
all farm cases and drouth cases off the WPA
program.
Yours very truly,
C. w. Fowler
Deputy Administrator

SHOULD HE wear a black or
a white tie? This is the ques-
tion and a mans first concern
when he dresses for dinner. In
either case, clothes and acces-
sories must be right.
A black silk tie is the only
tie worn with dinner jacket.
The starched shirt may have
either a plain or pleated bosom.
The correct Waistcoat may be
either black or white. Individual
choice dictates the type of collar.
1t may be the wing variety with
a deep v opening, or a turn
down collar.
For informal occasions two
types of dinner jackets are used,
says George Breoke-cither the
single breasted (TuXedo) or
double breasted, model. This is
a matter of personal preference.
The lapels of the single-breasted
dinner jacket should be of gros-
grain or rep silk. On the
double-breasted dinner jacket,
however, they should be of black
satin to distinguish it from the
double breasted jacket of an
ordinary lounge suit.
Only starched bosomed shirts
are correct with dinner jackets.

Girl Kept
From Study
By Illness.
Finds It Difficult
to Make Friends
of Schoolmates
By VIRGINIA LEE

]. D. S. has a deep, deep
problem" for me to answer, she
writes. It seems she has been kept
out of school by illness, SO that now
she is back, her classmates are
younger than she. Naturally she
feels there is a difference between
her and them, and it is hard for
her to make friends. However, she
is popular at school dances and is
an official in a club.
Now should she forget about her
high school education and try to
get into junior college, or do l
think that would handicap her
sometime?
She is an only child, which
makes it harder for me to get
acquainted. And please tell me
how to make friends and keep
them; and how to be a good mixer
and roommate.
tell you what I think would be
most helpful in your case, dear. In
one way of looking at it, of course,
your lost years are a handicap.
But if you refuse to consider them
as such they may be positive
benefit to you. l don't know about
skipping high school. I think it
will probably make college studies
very hard for you if you do. You
probably can take the work faster
than the younger girls, SO why not
go through the courses? Your
teachers are better judges of that,
however. Consult with them.
Admired by Mates
You probably appear very little
older than your schoolmates-just
enough to make them look up to
and admire you because you do
your work more easily and have
more poise. Make up your mind to
excel in whatever you do and also
to cultivate the friendliest possible
attitude toward the girls. Just
being good friend to some who
are having trouble with their
studies and possibly with their
mates, will help you. And by just
taking the attitude that you are
a person who enjoys her life and
does not pity herself, will do the
trick. Good luck to you, my dear
Thank you for thinking this
column is helpful, and let me know
if there is anything further I can
do for you.
PUZZLED: The man you love
didn't make his first wife happy,
did he? Why are you SO sure he
would make you? He shows sense
in not seeing you until he is free.
Also it may be, of course, that he
doesn't care for you in that way.
Sorry about your mothers nag
ging. Maybe she isn't well. Try
being loving and thoughtful. 1t
may help.

Sight Lost
ByDyeing
Eyelashes
DR.. Clendening Tells
How Use of Certain
Cosmetic Blinded
sy LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. d.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. ID.
WHEN. IN 1888, we heard the
news report of a woman who had
used a certain cosmetic on her
eyelashes with the result that she
got such an Inflammation of the
eyeball that she went blind, one
would have thought that the pub
lioitv attached to this would warn
manufacturers against putting out
any dye which contains parapheny-
lene-diamine or any aniline ingre-
dent similar to it. When, in the
spring of 1854, it was reported
that there was another similar
case. one would have thought that
this certainly was final warning.
But apparently not, for we have
had another report within the last
year of a young woman in St.
Louis who lost her eyesight after
the use of hair dye made by a
manufacturing company, to touch
up her eyelashes.
The story is that she had just
completed six-week course as a
heauty operator, and the night she
completed it she 60 fixed up to
so out with her boy friend and
celebrate the event. The boy friend
had objected to the use of mas
cara. so someone in the shop per-
suaded her to use the hair dye on
her cyelashes. The astonishing
thing is that the package which
the company put out has a eau
tion as follows: This product con-
tains an aniline derivative or an
amino compound which may cause
skin irritation on certain individ-
uals, and a preliminary test ac-
cording to accompanying directions
should first be made" On the
verse side it says Hair dyes, like
tobacco, may not be used by every
one. Read remarks on page 4 of
enclosed blue circular before using
this preparation. 1t must not be
used as an eyelash or eyebrow
dye"
Effective Warning
The warning might be more ef-
fective if it said. This preparation
may make you blind"
understand that the first victim
of 1888 has had an operation on
her eyes so that she can barely
distinguish light from darkness. 1
understand that the last woman
mentioned above has also had an
operation, and that in spite of her
dreadful experience she is very
good sport about it, saying it is all
her own fault, and that she should
have told the boy friend that he
would have to like mascara; that
while she was being operated on,
in spite of the pain, she kept say
ing, We'll, this is what you get for
being such a cnump."
At any rate. there it is for the
warning of anyone who might be
tempted to touch UP the eyelashes
with a strange ingredient.
