Before the agreement, reached late
yesterday, was approved finally, en-
ployers rejected union last-minute
proposal that arbitration of issues
involved, if necessary, be left to a
single man instead of to a three
man board provided for in the set
tlement formula.
Harry R. Bridges, president of the
CIO International Longshoremen's
and Warehousemen's union with
which the striking Ship Clerks is
affiliated, and the unions negotiat-
ing committee both recommended
approval of the return to work
agreement.
Although there were 10 ships in
the harbor ready to discharge cargo
when the strike is ended, all were
foreign flag vessels. First American
flag vessels scheduled to reach here
are the Lillian Luckenbach from
Boston on Thursday and the Presi-
dent Cleveland from Manila on Fri
day. There was possibility that
some of 18 vessels awaiting docking
facilities at San Pedro might be
diverted here.
Waterfront observers suggested it
might be three weeks before full
working schedules for the clerks
and longshoremen could be resum-
ed.

of the Sea around his neck instead
of a Lady Love. No woman so
forgiving as the one who will not
quarrel with her one and only date
1t is virtually impossible to make
her break with him.
This puts the man on the spot
and the only resource left to him
is to fade out of the picture as
gracefully as he can. Don't answer
letters and telephone calls asking
if you are sick and what's the mat
ter. Have buyers from Oshkosh
that you must see on the old date
nights. And maybe after a while
she will sort of get the idea that
you are pulling out.
Or else just tell the lady frankly
that all bets are off, but this is
dangerous thing to do, for she will
weep on your shoulder and tell YOU
how much she loves you and how
she has given the best years of her
life to you and you will be sunk.
Anyway your dilemma calls at
tention again to the folly of going
steady" with a girl you do not care
enough for to marry. The man
thinks that when he gets tired of
her he can kiss and ride away, but
unless he is an utter cad it isn't
SO easy as that.
After he has monopolized her
society and kept other men away
and prevented her from establish
ing herself by marrying. he owes
her something more than so
long. Mary He has done her a
great wrong and gotten himself into
a situation into which he either
feels bound to marry woman he
doesn't love or desire, or else seem
like gutter.
The best way is for both men and
women to keep in circulation until
the times comes when they are
ready to take on "a steady" for
keeps. DOROTHY DIX.

New Tags on Turkeys
Introduced Here

A new system Of tagging turkeys
for quality is being tried out here
on produce shipped in from Vir-
ginia. This year, for the first time,
turkeys are appearing tagged with
round metal seals. whose color de-
notes the quality of the bird. Graded
according to the various ratings of
the United States Department of
Agriculture. the Virginia depart
ment has grouped several grades into
one or two classes-the top ratings
being indicated by blue seal and
the second best by red tags.
If this plan is extended and
amplified, as the Virginia organiza-
ton hopes, it should materially
lessen the confusion that so often
confronts the housewife when buy
ing graded products. There are so
many grades within grades" so to
speak, that unless one has made a
study of the standards by which
the ratings are given the layman
knows little about the differences
that lie between them. or what ef-
feet they may have upon health or
pocketbook.
We shall watch this new develop
ment with interest and report on it
further as it takes firmer shape.

Companion
COlOrs in
Makeup
Steadily Growing
In Great Favor
With Women
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

American women have been
taught that makeup colors should
definitely harmonic and as a group
they should enhance their natural
beauty. An orange-red lipstick GER
tainly does not go with rose rouge
and pink powder. An orange-red
lipstick requires a rouge of the same
color. but slightly lighter in shade,
and the powder should be on the
tannish, rather than the pinkish
blend. If ones natural coloring is
not fattered by such a combination
it should not be worn even though
the orange-red might be decreed
high cosmetic fashion. Some skins
are hattered by rose-hued makeup
aids, others by purple -tinged make
up and still others by more intense
scarlet. 1t is up to the individual
woman to select the most becom-
ing makeup combination and to
wear clothes colors which harmo-
nize with that combination.
During summer, let us say, when
our skins have been tanned shades
deeper, we might be able to vary
our makeup combination. but the
rest of the time we must be pretty
loyal to the color most f1attering
to our natural skin tone.
Time was when women had to
shop from counter to counter to
get rouge to blend with a chosen
lipstick. Then her next problem
was powder-the choice being any,
thing but satisfying as most powder
mixtures were too light in shade.
Now all this frantic shopping can
be avoided by buying matched
makeup that comes complete.
A famous Fifth avenue salon was
the first to offer ipstick, nail polish,
rouge, powder and eyeshadow all in
one box-the shades perfectly
matched. But now several firms
have assembled combinations.
One has presented us with powder
base. lip and cheek rouge in stick
form (to simplify its application)
and an exQuisitely textured powder
to match the powder base Each
combination is keyed to f1atter a
basic complexion type, and there
are four combinations. Your Spe-
cific combination will give you 9
f1awless looking complexion that
stays intact for hours and the JOY OF
this presentation is its price-ever
school girls will not vince!
Once you have your little box
of matched makeup, don't grow
careless about your skin care. Keep
your face thoroughly cleaned each
day with bland soap and water
washing, and a cream cleansing If
needed. Never apply one coat of
makeup over tired coat of make
up unless you wish to invite a whole
crop of unlovely blemishes. Use
your makeup aids sparingly-re-
member they are meant to enhance
your natural beauty not to substitute
for it! Young things should reserve
detailed makeup for gala parties
the rest of the time lipstick should
suffice.

Dear Dorothy Dix-Will you
please tell me how to get rid of
girl and make her think she dropped
me? I have been dating one girl
about three times week for year
and a half and I am tired of her.
Other than that have no good rea-
son for leaving her. l would like
for her to do the quitting. as she is
a swell person and l don't want to
hurt her feelings. I would still like
to date her possibly once week,
but I would like to break the monop-
oily and go with other girls. We
haven't much in common. yet she
seems to expect me around three
times week. l am 25. She is 30.
JOHN.
Answer-Well. John, the most
difficult task that any man ever
confronts is freeing himself from
the woman OF whom he has tired.
If any man has ever found pain
less way of doing it he has not re-
vealed his discovery for the benefit
of his suffering brothers who are
in a like predicament Many an
other man like you desires to sneak
out the back door of a near-love
affair by making the girl break off
the relationship herself. He thinks
that will save her face among her
friends and that being able to boast
about how she gave him the air will
be a sort of consolation prize. So
he picks quarrels with her about
He stands her up on dates.
He omits flowers and candy. He
develops an allergy to the telephone.
He shows her in a thousand little
ways that he is weary of her and
wants to be free
But does she take the hint he
hands her? Not at all. No woman
so dumb as the one who will not

safest bet: remember that you still
get what you pay for. Then. look
at the label which will state the
real base of the fur in addition to
its trade name. Thus, you will
know that when you buy lapin or
near-seal, sealine or polo-seal it
is going to be rabbit, but each
processed differently and with a
different appearance.
Remember that lynx-dyed wolf
is actually wolf; mink dyed musk
rat is muskrat and so on, with the
last named the real fur. Decide
upon definite price range and
inquire as to the furs available
at that level, then select the one
best suited to your needs, mode of
living and figure type. Examine
the hair of the garment to see
whether it is alive and lustrous;
look at the underneath skin to see
whether it is soft and plant or
tough. indicating that it has been
stretched beyond the durable point.
Look. too, at the underarm where
odds and ends may be used. Be
sure that there is a good lining
in the coat See by the sewing of
the under-skin that odd pieces have
not been used and that the original
skin was not poor. Remember that
durability and price do not always
60 together and that the most ex-
pensive coats may be the hardest
wearing!
Finally, here is a guide that may
be OF assistance when you make
your selection. Under five head
ings we've listed many furs and
their qualities:
