Trying to build pride in the know
ledge that 1 can keep my own

Their. Friends, this playing at
keeping house will keep the little

thrilling experience of walking in
to her miniature kitchen planning
her own meals, the pleasure of til
dying up the lovely bedrooms. And
then when the guest arrives the
most exciting time of ALL climbing
the stairs to the cocktail room
that has been so well planned for
the little miss who will be lucky
enough to win this beautiful
home.
1t will be the ending of a per-
feet day for both mother and
child. So, mothers and friends,
please help wour daughter and
little friend to win. You will have

At The Beach With
The Flowers
BY Eunis Mott

The Misses Erna Tanner and
Eunis Mott were weekend guests
of the Ralph Flowers at their
beach home at Ocean Lake. Fish
ing, grabbing, boating and hiking
accumulated the major recreations
along with cards and dancing.
On Sunday, the party were hosts
to DR.. DeNorval Unthank and his
family. The two families spread
delicious dinner of hot biscuits,
fried chicken and salmon and tasty
trimmings.
The Flowers cabin, unique in its
modernistic style for people who
love to "rough-it" has harbored
many a good time in it's ten years
of existence. Interesting to note
is: the well, which was built by
Ralph and his son, Clifford; the
registration book in which each
guest comments on his visit; the
wood shed that is always full for
the fine old stove that heats this
delightful little white and green
beach home. So is it any wonder
that anyone could not possibly es-
cape a good time with the above
mentioned surroundings and the
beautiful hospitality of the two
grand personages, Ruth and Ralph.

Cops Murdered
Jessie" James

DETROIT, Mich. Jan. 26 (UNP)
Charges of outright murder were
hurled at the police of North De-
troit last week as thousands of
citizens are literally up in arms
over the Staying of Jesse James,
20, of 628 East Kirby street, last
Friday night by police officers who
suspected him of stealing an auto
mobile.
Seventeen eye witnesses and a
host of interested citizens filed in
to the NAACP office here on Mon
day morning to urge that the or
ganization investigate what is be-
lieved to be the murder of an in
nocent man.
According to witnesses, Jesse
James got into his parked car near
the corner of Dawson and st. Au-
bin streets and while seated under
the steering wheel two policemen
ran out from the Highland Park
Water. works nearby, and one of
them deliberately fired twice in
the right front window of the auto,
wounding James. AS the wounded
man got out of the auto and leaned
against the door, the same officer
ran up with pistol in hand and
fired another time while James
sank to his knees.
Patrolman Cahmere Cichy is al
legged to have shot James without
warning. Severely criticizing the
patrolmen,. Cichy and Abraham
Lowell, for the shooting, all Negro
organizations in North Detroit
joined in protesting their actions
Jesse James was a Ford Motor
Company employee, had been for
number of years, and was a pop
ular member of a large circle OF
friends. Besides his widow, he is
survived by his mother, Mrs. Rem
ner James, of Lennette, Alabama
According to Attorney Flanni-
gan and various civic leaders in
North Detroit, the case will be
prosecuted to the limit.

Helena, Montana
BY HEX
By HEX

Mrs. ]. D. Hart of Great Falls,
chairman of the Legislative COM
mittee of the Montana Federation
of Negro Women's clubs, was in
Helena last week to look after
house bills At, 48, and 40, intro
duced by Representative A. D. Nc
Cleod of Cascade county in the
lower house. The bill provides for
equal rights in public places, and
employment for people of all ra-
ces. The bills were reported to the
house from a divided committee.
The majority recommended kill
ing the bills, but they were saved
from a premature grave upon a
minority report victory of 40 to 36,
ordering the bills printed.
Another bill, affecting the race,
was introduced in the house by
Collins, preventing marriage be-
tween white and certain other
races. The bill was referred to
committee on judiciary.
We were considerably inspired
when listening to the very fine
poems written by Miss Patricia
Mundy and read over KPFA dur
ing Everybody's Ideas Programs.
She possesses an accomplishment
should be developed and encour-
aged to the limit. Congratulations,
Miss Mundy.
The following article, on more
than one occasion, has appeared
in one of our daily papers: Ida
wants all of her old friends to
come and see her and give her a
widows mite. Ida has been down
sick eight weeks, is still sick, and
in need of coal and different
things. Ida wants to stay in her
own home. Open house starting
Thursday.
Yours sincerely, Ida WEIGH
We are informed the present
lease on st. James church will
expire in a few months. 1t will
be a difficult problem to decide
what will he to the best interest of
the people of Helena, and of the
A. M. E. conference. AS a final
action to be taken, must, of ne
cessity, be in the hands of Helena
residents. Are they in a position
to support a church, or as some
would have, are they willing to
give sufficient support to assure
the maintainance of the church.
Conditions have not materially
changed in Helena since the earth
quakes, and just prior thereto.
The main props of the institution
have grown older and insist it
will be impossible for them to be
active as in former days. The in
fusion of new blood seems re-
mote possibility. What will be the
answer when the time comes to
decide?

And while you are playing Santa
Claus to yourself, you may as well
do it up right and start the New
Year with the knowledge that you
are looking your best. Include in
your shopping list jar of founda-
ton cream, which protects the skin
against the elements, makes your
makeup go on more smoothly and
last much longer, and gives the
whole a natural looking effect.
Makeup Should Match Skin Tone
And now check up on your make
up. Is that shade of powder you
are using exactly blended for your
skin or did you chose it in a care
less moment? The slight differ
ence in shade of face powder can
add or subtract years from your
face. Be sure that yours is just
right. The same holds true for
your rouge and lipstick. Just be-
cause your hair is one color, or
your eyes, doesn't mean that your
skin is equally light or dark. It's
fun to experiment with different
shades and combinations. Keep it
up until you find the ones that look
best on you. You'll enjoy it while
you are doing it and the results, 1
assure you, will be gratifying.

New Years is always a time for
making good resolutions, and while
you are drawing up your list, don't
forget to include few all-important
beauty rules. The reason so many
people regard beauty rites as a bore,
or worse still, a chore, is because
they have never gone about them
Systematically. Taking care of your
beauty is really lots of fun. Shop
around until you find the best pos
sible preparations for your particu-
lar type of skin and stick to it.
There are some luscious creams
and lotions on the market today,
and some of them have been Gre
ated especially for us. If Santa
Claus didn't bring you the set of
cosmetics you want, go out and play
Santa to yourself.
Select Cosmetics With Care
Buying cosmetics requires a GER
tain amount of thought and a
knowledge of the needs of your
own skin. Even such simple neces-
sites as cleansing cream in two
kinds, liquifying cream, which is es-
pecially recommended for oily skin,
and the heavier cold cream type
which is excellent for skin that has
become dry and harsh. Select which
ever of these is best suited to your
needs and use it religiously, at least
once a day. If your skin is in
clined to be dry, the application of
a night cream before retiring (after
the face has been thoroughly
cleansed) viii help correct this con-
dition and is a tremendous aid in
preventing the formation of fine
lines and wrinkles.
