CON TRACT0RS
HIT WPAPLAN

The governing board Of the AS
ISOLATED General Contractors,
meeting at the Willard Hotel, to-
day accepted report denouncing
increasing encroachmentS by Fed
eral relief agencies into revenues
from gasoline and motor taxes
now used for highway building
programs. The direct effect of
such continued action, it was said,
will hasten the passing of the
highway contractor whose place
will be taken by Government
agencies.
The board also heard reports
from State contractors condemn
ing Harry Hopkins, WPA admin
istrator, for failure to renew man
agement contracts under which
relife projects are supervised by
private contractors.
1t was also charged that current
construction of complicated build
ing projects is putting the WPA
into competition with private in
duStry, and is draining the scant
supply of available skilled work
men.
AS a consequence of WPA'S &C
tivity in the skilled labor field, a
large-Scale program of apprentice
training will be planned by board
members.
Significance Of the Wagner
Labor Relations Act was discussed
with the conclusion that the act
weighs too heavily in behalf of
labor.
The meeting will end tonight
with designation of fall executive
place.

Helpful Hints
For Success

If you want to keep your hus-
band in good humor, says the
Countess de Forceville, you can
do it by appreciating his sue
cess, making him little surprise
gifts, leaving him alone occaS-
sionally, remembering the dishes
he likes and doesn't like, or
giving him a drink at bedtime
if he's the sort of man who likes
drink at bedtime.
In case none of these five
methods appeal to you, five
others are given in her new book,
Marriages are Made at Home"
which Knopf will publish on
January 10. But if you want
to get even with him because he
Snores, or doesn't like your
mother, or leaves the bathroom
in a mess, you don't have to
divorce him. You simply apply
one of the items in Countess
list of twenty Don'ts for wives.
It's twice as easy to ruffle the
male of the species as it is to
please him.

THE DAY has passed when there is
any occasion for loneliness in going
away parties, as they are carried off on
board the fashionable ocean liners.
The thrill of being passed through
and meeting friends is worth the trip
to the pier, besides, we like to see the
gifts of flowers, boxes of books, sweets
and thoughtful little expressions of good
wishes and cheer. The popular girl or
couple will always have room full of
lovely things, and now we believe we
can give you some ideas for your steamer
gifts.
A few days ago when we went to the
Normandy to say our farewells to
family who were going to spend teW
months in Europe, besides the usual
flowers and candy, we noticed there
were number of perfectly lovely new
cosmetics; some were in fitted leather
cases, and separate bottles of perfume
and toilet water, along with special pack
ages of dusting powder and sachet for
the children. These were decorated with
little festoons of French flowers and in
pale blue pastel. Everyone was SO ex-
cited over these gifts. and to me, 1t was
The Washington times., 1937-12-21

the most appropriate and best selection
ever.
The flowers were beautiful, Of course,
but nothing is quite so acceptable to
young girl as new cosmetics for her very
own use. The parents, too, planned
new venture into the beauty realm with
all the lovely things for mother as well
as the smart soaps and colognes for
father.
Send flowers if you like, but if You
want to make them love you, go to some
smart salon or toilet goods counter and
have them make selection of nice cos
metics for you and we promise you it
will be The Best Gift of all.
The busy woman will not find time
on her hands if she can look after her
facials and give her feet the nice pedi-
cure she has always wanted. Then, when
the boat reaches the other side, she will
feel welLgroomed and will look a lot
better, too.
We know you will find lots of smart
packages to suit everyone and they will
be more lasting than the flowers.
