If your youngsters spurn their hot
cereal for breakfast try sprinkling a
little brown sugar and cinnamon on
top of each steaming bowlful. Raisins
are also healthy and may make an ap-

To answer the question "Just what
is industrial home work and what is
being done about it," the Division of
Labor Standards of the U. S. Dept. of
Labor has published bulletin en-
titled Industrial Home Work Legisla-
tion and Its Administration
Industrial home work is the process
by which the manufacturer gives out
his work to be done in the homes of
workers, mostly by women and child
rem instead of being done at the fac
tory. And the result is the sweatshop
invades the home.
Home workers get pathetically low
wages and Investigations show that
home workers have to accept much
less than even the poorest-paid fac
tory workers. Pennsylvania Labor
Department found many home work
ers getting as little as three cents an
hour. Five cents is not unusual and
10 cents an hour not bad, as home
work wages go.
The very nature of the work evades
statistics as it evades regulations for
health and decent labor standards
Work is often done in badly lighted
and badly ventilated rooms under un-
sanitary conditions. Sometimes the
workers are suffering from a COM
municable disease. The employer thus
shifting his responsibility and factory
overhead can undercut his competitors
and undermine the fair standards of
wages and hours, safety and health
for workers.
Nineteen states and Puerto Rico
have laws which curb the evils of in
dustral home work.
When the transition from home to
factory production has been made
workers and employers are both bet
ter off. Workers have regular hours
and are in a position to organize for
their own protection. Provisions for
workmen's compensation and unem-
ployment compensation, as well as
child labor laws, can be enforced.

HERE'S TO GLAMOR
A "must" essential to achieve gla
NOR is correct and graceful carriage.
Many fashionably gowned and other
wise beautiful woman has had to give
way to her shabber sister because she
slumped when she walked and sat in
chair as if all the strings holding her
together had been suddenly pulled
out.
Try walking with your head up (as
though you were the most beautiful
woman in the world, which you are to
someone), hold your chest high, your
shoulders comfortable. Pull your
tummy up and in, at the same time
folding your buttocks under. Practice
this standing flat against the wall,
trying to make wall and spine meet.
When walking down the street stop at
each corner or, pull yourself sup and
in" and proceed. Gradually you will
become so conscious of the superior
feeling this perfect posture gives you
that it will become natural stance.

If you skin is oily compact rouge
is preferable, but creme rouge is to
be recommended for regular use at the
dressing table, using compact rouge
only to renew the makeup during day
or evening.
Two most important last touches
to your makeup should include en-
phasizing the curve of your lips with
lipstick and family touching the lash
es, eyeids and brows with a creme
specially made for this purpose. 1t
will do much to enhance the liveliness
of the eyes and in time encourage the
lashes to grow long and luxuriant.
If your permanent is not too old,
try putting your hair up with cologne
instead of water. 1t dries quicker,
smells sweet and feels luxurious.

It's not new but it's fun to train an
ordinary sweet potato into an ivy-like
houseplant. Submerge one-third Of
the potato into water and soon you
will be repaid with long vines that may
be trained up the wall and held with
adhesive tape. Keep in a sunny spot
and feed plenty of water.
