Proper care of the eyes is, of
course, necessary to good health
since eye-strain is not only physical
ly exhausting but frequently results
in severe headaches and, if contin-
nous and severe enough, will mean
that you eventually have to wear
glasses. But at the present moment
let's consider the eyes from the
standpoint of beauty rather than
health.
Beautiful eyes need not be excep-
tionally large or of an unusual col
or. Sparkling eyes, with the whites
very clear and the irises sharply de-
fined, a make the plainest face
seem lovely. But you can't have
clear, shining eyes if you stay out
till all hours of the night, constant
ly read in a poor light and generally
mistreat the windows of your
soul" Your eyes, like everything
else, require care If you would have
them beautiful.
Sleep an Important Factor
Here are a few important rules to
OuSIiN VIC III TIT CdiG VI 9Oui eyes.
First of all, get at least eight hours
of sleep nightly. How many times
have you heard this, and in how
many different connections? Sleep
is the greatest beautifier known, and
the woman who disregards it will
pay in loss of beauty. Before using
your eyes for any length of time,
make sure that the lighting is
proper, neither too little nor too
much. Too bright light is just as
hard on the eyes as to little. When
going out in the glaring sun of
summer, protect your, eyes either
with a wide-brimmed hat, a sun
shade or dark glasses. Squirting
against the sun causes little lines
around the eyes which detract from
their beauty.
If you use your eyes a great deal
during the day, a good way to make

CHICAGO RELIEFERS,

suit of which construction on the
Ida Wells low-cost federal hous-
ing project was again delayed.

them feel rested and look brighter
is to dip a pad of cetton in cold
skin tonic and place 1t across the
eyes for a few minutes while you
rest. This trick is a great boon to
working girls who come home feel
ing and looking tired and ragged and
still want to look their best for a
big evening.
Lines Around Eyes
The setting of your eyes is inn
portant to their beauty. If you have
dark circles, deeply-etched lines or
|puffs around your eyes, you will look
tired and listless. And this, too,
is a matter of general health. Too
little sleep and too much gayety
contribute to that weary look.
The delicate skin around your
eyes deserves special attention.
Every time you laugh, smile, frown
or squirt, little lines appear around
the eyes and If your skin is dry
these lines become deeply etched. A
heavy cream smoothed in this area
at night will keep the skin lubri-
Gated and discourage the lines. Care
should be taken not TO rub the skin
roughly, however, because it is cas-
lily stretched, causing more lines.
It is really more simple than you
would think. Get plenty of sleep,
avoid eyestrain, and use a rich
cream around your eyes at night if
you would be a bright-eyed girl with
that good old ''come-hither" look.

unskilled project workers in a
number of large cities including

section get an average of :. 8,
., cents per hundred-pound bag.
The average price paid workers is
8 to 4 cents per bag, though in
some cases It is as low as 2 and
one-half cents. The workers spend
approximately four days per week
at work.
Il was unable to determine
what wages are paid here. How
ever, Mr.. Dey said that seven
dollars a week to these Negroes
is big Money In addition to
this money the only other provided
by tho employer for the workers
is living quarters, if they can be
called such. The usual provisions
made for this are simply a few
bags for them to put down in a
barn or shack, if there is one on
the place. On one farm the living
quarters consists of a block Of
taxpayer covered frames which
wero originally built to serve as
chicken coops.'
The victims Of the mob attack
which took place on the farm of
Raymond Dey, near Cranbury, n.
j., included:
Jake Preston, % and his wife,
Mrs. Frances Preston, alsd %,
both of Coleman, Ga; Monroe

Ala
All Of the victims, who lived in
a shack on the Dey farm, with
only a partition separating Pres
ton, and his wife from the other
workers, we're aroused from their
beds shortly after midnight Fri
day, August IL, by a mob of
whites, who flashed lights in their
faces. All were forced to disrobe
completely including Mrs. Pres
ton. Five of the men were chased
across the Dey farm to the tune
of pistol shots. Mr.. and Mrs. Pres
ton we're both doused with white
enamel paint, subjected to elabor-
ate indignities and carried in an
automobile seven miles from the
farm, where they were released.
All of the men were beaten with
rubber hoses. Only one, William
Moten, succeeded in getting away
while the mob was at work.
Police went into action as soon
as news of the attack spread.
About twelve hours after the
mob's action, twelve suspects
we're rounded up. When the work.
ers found their way back to the
Dey farm, Mrs. Preston found that
all her savings, amounting to 20
dollars had been stolen by mem
bers of the mob.

many Of them members of the
Chamber of Commerce, were re-
ported as viewing with alarm the
latest developments in Chicago1s
relief and housing crisis.
Since one-fourth of the city's
WPA and relief rolls are Negro
indigents and since they are usu-
ally the first to feel the brunt of
all "retrenehment' orders, many
white business leaders, convinced
that what affects one section of
the city affects another, were out
spoken in demanding action to
remedy the situation.
Joel d. Hunter, superintendent
of tho United States Charities, on
his personal stationery, wrote to
Gov. Henry Horner urging him
to call a special session of the
legislature to consider what Hun
ter described as "the worst crisis
in tho history of Chicago relief
work" Hunter explained that he
wrote the governor as ian indig-
nant citizen" and not as head OF
the United Charities.
So it went on down the line,
from high officials to investiga-
ton and to the relief clients them
selves. Hardest blow suffered by
the reliefers was the new law
defective Tuesday, which requ-
Tres that all applicants for relief
in Illinois must have been resi-
gent1 of the state for at least 8
years before they can get on the
relief rolls. Another provision OF
the statute permits the use of re-
lief funds to send transient indi-
gents back to their home commu-
mites.
Leo M. Lyons, secretary of the
Illinois Relief Commission, said
that about 10000 families will be
cut from the relief rolls under the
new law. AT the 25 per cent. ratio,
this mean that $500 Negro faml-
lies will be affected. Lyons Also
said on Tuesday that plans to
Dcomb" the relief rolls in a state
wide purge ordered by the relief
commission to cut down costs and
AHA WPA workers discharged un-
der the national career law are
about complete.
Lyons said relief lists now total
about 10000 families and that
when the purge" has been COM
pleted about 10 per cent will have
been found Ineligible for relief.

Italian Newspaper
SAYS Mrs. Roosevelt
Accepted Stolen Gift
Government Organ
Resents Tone in Giving n
Thanks for Enerovines
BY RICHARD MOWRER,

Foreign Correspondent Of the Chicago
Daily News.
ROME, Feb. II (By Radio) Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is accused Of
receiving stolen goods by II Tevere
this morning. This claim is based
upon the fact that Mrs. Roosevelt
recently accepted, as "gift from the
Spanish people," a special edition
OF Goya engravings presented to her
by the Spanish government.
II Tevere, the most outspoken Of
government nt-controlled newspapers,
resents the tone of Mrs. Roosevelt s
thanks and acknowledgment because
she referred to the Loyalist govern
ment as democratic. This goes to
show, according to II Tevere, that
"a real democratic government
should consist Of:
81. Authentic thieves, because the
Goyas were stolen from a private
collection.
%. Authentic assassins, because it
is known that the Reds in Spain
have the shootings of 100000 persons
on their consciences."
Despite this, II Tevere exclaims,
'Mrs. Roosevelt is capable of re-
tanning the products of theft and
murder"
The Goya engravings in question
were taken from original plates in
Madrid in 1887, when the city was
under German and Italian artillery
fire.

clearly interfered with the conduct
of the war. In 1927, when the court
upheld California Syndicalism law
that made it felony for a person
to join an organization advocating
overthrow of the Government, JUS
tice Brandeis dissented so vigorously
that Anita Whitney, convicted under
the statute, was pardoned by Gov.
Young. In another famous case he
joined with Justice Holmes in dis
senting to the court decision deny
ing citizenhip to Rosika Schwimmer,
internationally known Hungarian
pacif1st, because she refused to
swear she would bear arms in time
of war.
Justice Brandeis invariably voted
to sustain the 18th amendment
and the Volstead Enforcement Act,
taking the ground that the Govern
ment might, if it chose, legitimately
rule mems morals within certain
limited fields.
Interested In Welfare of Race.
Justice Brandeis always took q
keen interest in the welfare of his
race, and, when the anti-Semitic
outbreak was at its height in Ger
