NEW DEAL FOOD PLAN GETS
INDUSTRY APPROVAL
TO US

New York, June, (CNA)-The New
Deal food plan for the distribution OF
surplus products to the needy was
unanimously approved this week at the
annual meeting of the National Food
and Grocery Conference Committee at
the Hotel New Yorker Upon ad-
journment of the meeting the Commit
tee sent a telegram to Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace pledging their
whole hearted support" in the opera
ton of the scheme.
instituted by the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation and the De-
partment of Agriculture, the plan calls
for the free distribution of fifty cents
worth of food stamps for every one
dollars worth purchased by persons
on relief.
1t was inaugurated in Rochester, N
v, a city with considerable number
of Negro unemployed, about month
ago, and has won the unstinted praise
of grocery store owners OF the upstate
community.

MAN PREFERS WORK
HOUSE IN MINNEAPOLIS
TO FREEDOM ELSEWHERE

Judge Thompson, 1anky six footei
who was picked up by police sometime
ago in the gateway district, and was
told to leave town, WEIGHED on his pro,
mise.
Thompson, who had earned some
distinction in the haunts of bad mer
because of his proficiency with the
knife that frequently came to his
aid in his hour of need, was agair
picked up. week later, and hailed into
court on charges of vagrancy.
Police, more anxious to get rid OIL
him than they were to prosecute, die
not protest the Judges decision, Civ
ing him an opportunity to serve
twenty-four hours on the open road
or ninety days in the workhouse.
Thompson's mind was evidently full
ly made up, because he took the work
house sentence without hesitation.
When Captain James Mullins was
asked an opinion regarding the at
titude taken by the prisoner, he stated
that the case was not at all unusual as
vargrants choose to remain in the Min
neapolis workhouse, than to have free
dom elsewhere.
1t is believed that the real reason
lies in the fact that MINNEAPOLIS is the
first city in the country as regards re-
lief.
Compared to great many cities
south and east Minneapolis is a haven
for the unemployed
In some cases Minneapolis budgets
as much as seventeen dollars Der
capita, as against one in other places,
This has tendency to bring the ele-
ment who have been denied relief else
where, or who have seen their ap-
preparation curtailed, According to
police this is probably their biggest
headache.

him as he lay asleep on the couch and
threw a full dishpan of boiling water
upon him.
When arrested by detectives Brown,
Childs, Shallow and Kenney of the
32nd Squad and removed to the station
house on West l35th street, the wo-
man said that an alteration which be-
gan on Saturday was a contributing
cause of the scalding. She said that
Trevan beat her because she refused
him gambling money.

WASHINGTON
JOTTINGs
BY
Edward Corneaby

commonly known in Washington that
she has her fingers on the steering
wheel of the ship of state and is of
great aid to her President husband.
Mrs. Roosevelt is a prolific writer and
daily her column, my Day." appears
IN newspapers throughout the United
States. She also lectures and speaks
over the radios and turns the receipts
over to her charities OF which she
sponsors many. She is popular among
Washington folks whether they be
liberal or conservative in their political
preferment.
Probably the first woman ever to
receive full time position with the
Federal Government was the famous
and immortal Clara Barton, who was
clerk in the Patent office during the
Civil War at yearly salary of $14OO.
All school children today know that
she was the founder of the American
Red Cross. Back during the Revolu-
tionary times there was another wo-
man who had job with the Federal
Government. She was part time
postmaster at Baltimore, Maryland,
during the years of the Revolutionary
War.
Today the Civil Service of the United
States offers positions in over 1900
different classified types of work for
which examinations are held. Of these
$500 classifications, only 200 require
college education.

Women today occupy a prominent
part in the activities and affairs of the
United States Government They sit
in both the United States Senate and
the House of Representatives. They
also occupy positions of great respon-
sibility and trust in the various depart
ments of the Government.
The Gentleman from Arkansas in
the United States Senate is none other
than motherly Hattie Caraway, who
succeeded her deceased husband in the
United States Senate She is not the
boisterous type but represents her
state with quiet and ladylike dignity.
Over on the House side of the Unite /
States Capitol sit a handful of women
who represent millions of Americans
IN the congress of the United States.
Outstanding is the lady from New
York, Mrs. Caroline Day. She is
elected at large and probably owes
her seat to the campaign waged in her
behalf by the First Lady of the Land,
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. Then, there
is Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachu-
sets, who is very active on the Re-
publican side of the House. Both Mrs.
Day and Mrs. Rogers are very able
members of the House and we'll liked
by the men who are their colleagues.
At the other end of Pennsylvania
Avenue lives Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
who, seemingly, has more than twenty
four hours in her day from the
amount of work that she does. 1t is

We feel, however, as Mr.. Eide
has resided in Minneapolis over a
long period of years, had he been
interested in the welfare of the
group, or had any knowledge of
their relationship to the general
welfare of Minneapolis, some
would have at least heard of him.
AS the matter stands it would be a
waste of type and time to recon-
mend Mr.. Leach, as his fairness
over a long period of years, re-
commends him far beyond any
thing we could say.
Negroes of Minneapolis have
always responded to an energen-
cy of this kind, and there is no
doubt that they will follow Mr..
Leach.
The Herald is not making it's
usual recommendations this year,
as no Negro in the community
who has the welfare of his group
at heart, could have but one
choice. Mr.. Leach has proven his
fairness in the face of any and all
OPPOSITION, and this over period
of years.
Mr.. Eide is unknown, we doubt
if any Negro can truthfully say
anything for or against him.
Whether his attitude on ques-
tons involving the masses will be
the same as that of previous
Farmer Labor administrations,
whether it will be better or worse,
is an unknown quantity. Having
lived here over long period of
years he would have shown some
interest in the group had he de-
sired to do so.

WOMAN,S REALM
Gloruing
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart


The neat, but elegant, look Is
something to strive for this season.
It's a fall of tidy hairdos, snugly
fitted snoods, dresses that hug the
figure, shoes of elastic materials
which mold the feet, simple gloves
and restrained blouses.
Femininity in fashion prevails,
but a streamlined-not q fussy,
frilly feminity. A clearly -cut, clean
" defined appearance-not blur
red one, is the effect to try to
achieve.
The neat look excludes coiffures
which float in the breeze or hang
loosely about the shoulders. You
can have long bob, if you like,
but the backends must be finished
in tidy rolls or otherwise anchored
reasonably securely. You can wear
your hair high or high in front and
long in back, but it ought not to
conceal the natural lines of your
head. Willd-blown effects very def
nitely are out.
Scarfs at the smartest Threats are
smoothly folded and simply knotted.
No bits. of billowing chiffon flutter
outside collars, blurring the good
lines of both suit and throat. Col
lars seldom are frothy. Plain, pull
on gloves outshine fancy varieties.
Snoods are more popular than
floating yelling.
Clothes are sleekly fitted through
the middle, making the waistline
neat as well as tiny. Even skirt
lengths (from Is to II inches from
the floor contribute to the effect
of sleekness-in-g ocd-taste. All i'm
portant, of course, is that your hem
lines hang evenly all the way
around.
Important, too, is that your nails
be perfectly n.anicured-day in, day
out. Choose neat shade of nail
lacquer-not blurred one. The mo-
ment you notice chip or crack in
the polish, remove all of 1t from the
surface of the nail and apply a
fresh coat.

full self-consciousnes and not stand
about with his finger in his mouth
or hide his face on mothers lap.
It is rather important, I think,
for children to learn to trust people
early in life and not establish the
dread that adds os painfully to emo
tional inferiority.
Concerning 3D." visitors should be
asked to make fuss over the really
shy child. They always seem to want
to, and mean it kindly and honestly.
But anything that makes him the
center of attention causes him alarm.
He may decide next time not to let
it happen. He will be more afraid
than ever of the ladies who admire
his eyes and call him such darling.
DON'T RUSH TRAINING
OF SHY CHILD
In some ways we shall have to
postpone too much training in man
ners, until Billy or Susan learns to
have a little more faith. To remind
tiny child every minute he is in
the presence of guests that he is
doing wrong, won't help him to gain
confidence. A few general rules, ex-
planned when no one else hears, will
do for the time.
ID" is a good course. Don't talk
baby talk to him before people. Once
in a while it is certainly natural
to use "cute" language. but any child
fed on it all day will lose identity.
He should be ''you." Talk to him not
beside him. Make him feel that he
is a real fellow, and take him SER
iously, as he takes himself.
