to make this halfway human world
only it is so hard at times to find
out just what is human about the
queerest of the queer fish. Their re-
semblance to one of the more repul-
sive members of the quadraped family
is SO much more obvious.
The world moves on and, moving
on, washes out quite few of the
stains placed upon it by some Of the
trespassers on this terrestrial ball.
And freedom does gain ground
Which is as it should be.
But now and then, as we move along

there are spots which we pass with

REASONS FOUND
For Gains in Canadian Re-
lief Rolls

Ottawa (ILNS)-The fact that
while during the past year industrial
employment in Canada increased by
Al per cent, the number of persons on
relief increased 6 to 5 per cent, has
led to allegations that relief has be-
come a racket However, the Family
Welfare Council finds reasons why the
increase in employment has not been
rapid enough to reduce the relief
rolls.
The increased demand for workers
has been met partly by young people,
and workers who while unemployed
were able to live on their savings or
were maintained by their relatives.
Employers have been reluctant to
take on persons who have been on
relief for any considerable time
Another factor is that elderly men
in jobs are holding on to them longer
than usual because the value of their
investments shrank or vanished dur
ing the depression. There is also the
circumstances that the percentage of
families coming to the end of their
resources and being forced on relief
has continued to increase. Again, the
complete, or partial failure of crops
in the drought areas continued last
year.
The allegations that relief has be-
come racket are evidently designed
to promote hostility to the unem-
ployed. They are directed against
smart counsellors of municipalities
rather than against Individual re-
| cipients. One municipality, it is
charged, used its provincial grants
for relief to pay INDECENT workers tc
cut wood and sold the wood at a
profit. The municipality happened tc

Girl Shirt Makers
Strike For More Pay

Lebanon, Pa. (ILNS)-The Warren
Shirt Company plant stopped opera
tions when $50 girl operators sat
down; the second shirt factory to
close in this town in a very short
time. The Kantor was the first.
Both strikes have been for higher
wages. The Warren girls say that
they get only So for an 11-hour day.
They work from 6 in the morning to
$3.50 in the afternoon, with only 30
minutes off for lunch. They have
taken three pay cuts in the past two
years.

roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Nothing has so completely and con-
vincingly shown the utter stupidity
Of big employers as the expose of the
La Toilette committee Of the labor
spy business, OF, shall we we say
racket.
There are thousand examples, but
take one: RCA pays $4,000 year as
salary and more than $4,000 a year
as expenses, to a man whose infu-
ence in labor is a complete zero, and
whose advice apparently was worth
something less than a thin dime.
There is nothing at all new in the
fact that men have contrived to be
seen in the company Of union officials
and who have, by such slight optical
evidence, created for themselves a
market value Of sizable proportions.
Up to now nobody ever knew the
price Of this kind Of tripe per pound.
WE'LL as the saying has it, now it
comes out. The La Toilette committee
record is full of it-and full Of num-
ber of interesting salary figures, such

FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1887
AN OBJECT LESSON on THE
PRESIDENTS PLAN

In spite Of repeated pleas by Gov
ernor Lehman and President Roose-
velt, the assembly Of the New York
legislature has turned down the reso-
luton approving the child labor
amendment to the national constitu-
ton Ii was beaten by a vote Of 102
to AZ. Party lines vanished; and Al
democrats joined with 81 republicans
in the wreck.
1t is a mournful spectacle for those
who know how much national action
on this question is needed, and re-
member that the supreme court de-
elared the federal child labor law un-
constitutional But as an argument
for President Roosevelt's plan to re-
vitalize the federal courts and partic-
ularly the supreme court, it could
hardly be rivaled.
For the child labor amendment has
been before the country for the last
13 years, and is not adopted yet. The
resolution for this amendment passed
the house of representatives on April
26, 1928, by vote Of 1877 to 50. il
passed the senate, June 2 Of the same
year BY a vote Of 81 to 23. In 18I
years it has been ratified BY 28 states.
and four Of the ratifcadons have come
since January Of this year
This shows what an organized and
well financed minority can do in hold
ing up a constitutional amendment.
The minority which would fight a con
stitutional amendment giving con-
gress the powers always held by
every other national legislature would
be fought BY much more tightly or
ganized and better financed minority
than that which has blocked the child
labor amendment.
And the set-up for blocking an
amendment il almost perfect. An
amendment. to become effective, must
be ratified BY 86 states. Thirteen
states can defeat it. At the census I
Of 1880, the nation contained 122,775,-
600 inhabitants, in round numbers;
and the Is states Of Arizona, Della
ware, Idaho, Montana, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico. North Dakota,
Utah, Vermont and Wyoming had to-
gether 100000 inhabitants "a per
cent Of the total
n other words, q majority Of this
"a per cent ef the American people,
rightly distributed, can defeat an
amendment to the constitution de-
manded by any kind Of majority in the
other 96.6 per cent
The presidents court plan is nee
essity, to be put in effect at this ses-
sion Of congress. A constitutional
amendment is a safeguard to be con-
sidered later.

Of that type is that they are willing
to pay fancy amounts for advice that

A clear. fine teXtured skin is a
fundamental necessity for every
woman seeking to make the most
of her natural beauty. This i'm
portant factor cannot be neglected
if you hope to attain the we'll
grOOmed appearance which is so
vital to women everywhere today.
Don't depend upon makeup to
cover skin blemishes which can and
should be corrected now.
Medical attention should be
sought for extreme cases of pim-
Piles or acne. These may be
caused by many different ailments
Of the bodily functions and should
be handled very carefully because
of their infectious nature when
opened. Your doctor will advise,
in addition to his constitutional
treatment, absolute cleanliness of
the skin and constant elimination
of the eXcretiOn in the pimples. A
reliable antiseptic such as alcohol
should be used after each pimple
has been opened and contents dis
Charged and then the entire face
sponged with an antiSeptc wash
n bOric acid solution will be found
effective.
Tips to the Teen-Age
If you are in your teens and have
normal skin, soap and water are
the beauty aids for you in addition
to subricating cream which should
be used occasionally. Don't feel
that you must have a host of eX-
pensive preparations on your dress
ing table-a good cream and mild
soap will do nicely. Lather the
face and neck generously and rub
with a complexion brush until the
lather is creamy and the skin is
cleansed and stimulated. Then
rinse thoroughly in clears moderate
ly warm water and finish off with
a dozen cold rinses. Rinsing clears
the skin of soap as well as acting
as mild astringent. Then follow
with light application of lubricat-
ing cream. This is simple mex
pensive beauty method and is very
effective when used regularly.
Some young girls are bothered
with pimples and blackheads. This
condition is usually the result of a
disturbance of the oil glands in the
skin. Excessive oil is secreted, |
making the skin oily, which collects
the dust and CRIME from the air.

COMPLEXION CARE

/ The resultant mixture Of oil and

like substance which is topped by a
blackhead.
Treatment for Oily Skin
The treatment outlined above
may Re used with some variations
for the correction of oily skin and
! blackheads. The water used should
be as hot as Is comfortable. The
soap should contain more aIkali
and the rinses following should be
several hot rinses then gradually
colder. followed by a good astrin-
gent. The use of lubricating
cream is not recommended, al
though many Of the sO-called
bleaching creams may be used with
effectiveness.
Women with sensitive skins suf-
fer constantly from the use of soap
and hard water, which makes their
faces dry, rough and blotched for
hours. Rain water is a boon to
those sufferers. The alkaIi in the
soap irritates many skins and a
cleansing cream may be used with
good result in such cases as q sub
stitute for the soap and water
cleansing. Olive oil or mineral oil
will remove surface dust and make
up and leave the skin smooth and
clean.
A shiney nose is a handicap In
business and social life. Constant
application of powder may give
temporary relief but it may also
aggravate the condition. This con-
dition may oftener be traced to
faulty diets plus insufficient exer-
else. A regular diet which includes
raw fresh fruits, green vegetables
and salads and avoids fried and
rich foods will go far toward clear
ing and toning the skin.

prove and safeguard your complex
ion in the future by the most
meticulOuS care.

The loan groups are insisting

is one of the oldest means of
identification. 1t was used by
the Romans and the Greeks to

HIDDEN TAXES
PAY FOR ARMS

MOSCOW.-Although the Soviet
Unions 100000, O,O00-ruble mill
tary budget is the highest ever
allotted by any government in
peacetime, the country is fully able
to stand it without straining its
economic resources.
Because this Socialist state con-
ducts or controls practically all
industry, commerce and agricul-
ture, it has sources of revenue
which can be tapped only in
directly by capitalist states.
Enjoying a complete monopoly
the Soviet state can and does
charge its people any prices it
wishes for its goods and pays what
ever wages it likes. So, besides
considerable direct visible taxes
such as the income tax, the 'cul
tural tax" and the like, the Soviet
citizens pay billions indirectly IN
profits. Most Of the country's 2eVe
nueS come from such invisible tax
alton.
Profits of State industries this
year are expected to total more
than 10000, 100000 rubes-almost
the exact sum of the military
budget-although most of these
profits will be plowed back into
industries and only 100000 ,OO(
will be used for governmental
expenditures.
But the biggest part Of the
Soviet Unions revenues comes
from the turnover tax" vary
