The eyelash dye was not the only type of cosmetic against which the administration took action. It mov- ed against a bleaching cream, which contained an oyerstrong mercury compound that could and sometimes did take the skin off.
 It purged markets of lipsticks containing poisonous metallic drugs. It took action against a certain mole remover which contained nitric and acetic acids. This preparation un- deniably removed lnoles but un- fortunately removed good part of the adjacent skin as well.
 AGENTS HUNT
 HARMFUL COSMETICS
 Proceeding against a preparation of this kind is not simple job. The agent must first find a specific shipment of the preparation, and must get the records by which he can prove that 1t actually moved in interstate commerce.
 The shipment must be seized, and samples analysed. After that, the administration must compile con- vincing proof that the ingredient complained of is actually dangerous to the user.
 Some of the tests made are lit- tie bizarre. There was, for in-

 washington, Jan. 31-Six floors and a basement in one wing of the huge Department of Agriculture building is 'home" to small army of skilled laboratory technicians ceaselessIy busy doing things like testing eyelash dye and painting shaven mice in rainbow hues.
 This is the behind-the-scenes staff of the Food and Drug Ad- ministration. Its job is to see that new products are safe when they go on the market, and that they stay that way.
 Since June, 1888, when most of the provisions of the new pure food, drug and cosmetics law went into effect, the administration has been after the manufacturers of dangerous cosmetics.
 NO COSMETIC LAW
 IN EARLY DAYS
 When the first food and drug act was passed, in 1906, the cosmetics business was a minor affair and the law left the government power less to do anything about cosmetics.
 But by 1888 it had become trag- lcally apparent that protection was needed. The outstanding case was that of the eyelash dyes had ap- peared containing drug which could and, in certain cases, did cause blindness. Not every user of the dyes suffered blindness, of course.
 When the dye was applied care- fully, SO that none touched the eye ball, there might be no bad effects. Also, the sensitivity of different per-

Negro Workers

NEW YORK (SNS)- Strong
opposition to the Barden amend
ments to the Wage and Hour law,
on the ground that these proposed
changes would shut out from any
protection of this Act hundreds of
thousands of Negroes" was ex-
pressed today by the National AS
Sociation for the Advancement OF
Colored People.
In a Letter. to Hous Minority
Leader, Joseph w. Martin, Jr., the
Association said:
"The Barden amendments pro-
pose to exempt from the benefits
Of better wages or shorter hours
or both more than a million and
quarter Of the poorest paid Ame1i-
can workers, among whom are
hundreds of thousands of Negroes.
"These amendments strike at en-
ployees engaged in canning, pack
ing and otherwise processing
agricultural products, at workers
in the lumber industry and at
transportation relating to these in
dustries. Negroes in large numbers
are employed in these fields and
in same areas they constitute
majority of the workers who would
be affected
The association pointed out also
that the amendments would have
the effect of denying the protec-
ton of the law to thousands OF
Virgin Islanders who would be
made to suffer from exemptions
and diferentials.'
The protest was sent also to
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman House Labor committee,
and Reps. Sam Rayburn, Hamilton
Fish and Raymond McKeough.

Ninety percent of the children
studied like to work, were willing
even to have a home job for as
little as 10 cents per week. 1t was
estimated that 13 of every 16
children in the county come from
tenant homes. Some recommended
tions made by Agent Hubbard.
Let the children be responsible
for something at home; allow them
