Il use Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations exclusively be-
cause l get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation" stated well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. 9. J. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam c. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Nine. c. ]. Walkers Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result CT
years of experimenting to pro-
duce the perfect blend to irnpart
velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.

FASHIONETTE
By Hazel L. Grlggs for AMP
Party Frocks Swing in 1910 in the
Grand Manner

By Hazel l.. Gr1ggs for AMP
Party Frocks Swing in 1910 in the
Grand Manner
As romantic as mistletoe and as
gay as New Years Eve itself were
the gala occasion frocks seen
around town last week. Each new
affair seemed to top the previous
one for sparkle, brilliance and
beauty, and glamour reigned su-
preme in the light hearted fashion
world.
Among the dancing fashions, net
led all other materials for real
popularity. Frothy, billowing skirts
in jewel-tones and much like those
of ballet dancers, swished their
, way around the floors of most of
the gay bathrooms, circling into
yards and yards of dancing miles.
In spite of the tremendous build
up for covered-up styles in party
frocks, off-shoulder models were
much in evidence, revealing lovely
coffee-and-cream shoulders. A par
ticularly entrancing model of this
type was the creation of white net
with a Harlequin ruching circling
the shoulders, worn by a pretty
deb about town. The ruching, as
crisp and smart as could be was
repeated in a design on the vol
luminous skirt.
Another love of a net was the
real fashion parade number of Cy-
press green combined with cerise
and still another whirling Column
bine was as lovely as fantasy in
a rainbow-hued paneled skirt of
coral, turquoise and yellow topped
by a pale blue bodice.
Swirling silk chiffon also was
popular and appealing. Draped in
to Grecian gowns of flowing skirts
and graceful bodices, they were a
triumph on slim figures.
Taffeta, plain, brocaded, en-
broidered and threated with gold
or silver tracings sparkled under
Yuletide lights in portrait styled
gowns. High bosoms and wasp
waists were the rule here. Little
puffed or cap sleeves covered the
shoulders and modest decolletages
were demure and consistent with
the dress type.
Little sequin jackets sparkled
like the star atop the Christmas
tree as they cleaned above pic
turesque velvet skirts. Evening
sweaters also were popular in
similar combinations.
Wedge-soled slippers proved to
be the favored type of footgear,
and no wonder, they are so youth
full and so comfortable. They were
seen in gold and silver kid in satin
and varied other materials-usual-
ly the simple sandal styles. At the
other extreme were skyscraper
heels, very pert flashing beneath
flouncing skirts.
Black velvet led the field in
evening wraps, but scarlet, wine
and other shades were also seen.
Many wraps had hoods'-nice to
keep the curls in place and snug
against chill winds. Hoods were
worn by many interesting women,
and were very dramatic as they
sparkled with whinestones or Sc
quins. Flowers, jeweled clips and
piquant bows to match dresses
were other hair adornments.

The Women


sonal glory.
The Women
Grave problems confront women
today. What are we to do about
them? With conflict everywhere
about us-with racial antagonism
growing more vicious, not only
within our Nation, but among the
Nations of the world-with preju-
dice, hate, war and greed rampant
with disease and poverty attack
ing us on every hand-with our
civil rights limited and, sometimes,
denied us altogether-with our
hard won economic independence
gradually slipping from US with in
creasing loss of jobs, of income,
and of opportunity itself-with our
young people losing morals and
courage in face of present-day
temptations-What are we, the
women of Today, to do about this ?
Shall we be less strong in facing
our problems than were our moth
ers before us?
Shall we back down, or shall we
face about and meet these prob
lens squarely with the courage
that was typical of those others
who have gone before us?
Racial Seff-Respect
How are we to achieve and main
tain now an adequate racial self
respect? How are we to set up
standards of wholesome eommuni-
ty life, in order that our boys and
girls today might develop into
wholesome manhood and woman
hood?
In the answers to these ques-
tions lies today's challenge to the
Negro womanhood of America. It
is for us, the women, to insist upon,
and to recognize our community
responsibilities.
We must acquaint ourselves,
fully, and intelligently, with the
civic problems abous us, and the
effects of these problems upon our
homes and our families.
Bad Becomes Worse
We cannot, we dare not, sit
quietly by and wait for someone
else to come along and solve these
problems for us. We must know,
once and for all time, that what
ever affects the community as a
whole, for better or for worse,
affects every single member of
that community regardless of race
or creed. If it be good, the good
comes to us all. If it be bad, the
bad becomes worse for us, racially
We must know and never lose
sight of the fact that our most po-
tent weapons in community affairs
are intelligent, sane thinking
group solidarity, and the use OF
the ballot, by which we may en-
phasize and exercise our complete
right to, and responsibilities of
citizenship.
We must learn to interpret our
selves to each other-to make our
young people know and appreciate
the fact that they have behind
them a record of racial achieve
ment of which they may we'll be
proud.

Japan's Troops Reported
Shifted From North China
Nv the Associated Press.


SHANGHAI, Aug. 23.-Reports of
renewed Chinese military activity
In North China conceded today with
uncomfortable but detailed Chinese
accounts of extensive withdrawal of
Japanese troops from North China
during the past month.
These reports, which placed the
number of Japanese troops involved
at 100000, said they were removed
from Hopeh. Honan and Shansi
Provinces through the port of
Tangku, where they were said to
have boarded southbound transports.
Some of these troops were said to
have been replaced by Manchukuo
soldiers under Japanese officers.
The same sources reported wives
and children Of Japanese railway
workers we're being removed from
North China areas, presumably due
to the shortening and thinning of
Japanese defense lines caused by
the troop movements.
In the renewed Chinese military
activity, guerrillas were reported to
have attacked North China's main
railways. A japanese Army spokes-
man in Peiping said they were
repulsed.

Blockade Aid Seen
As Bermuda Mail
Route Is Resumed
Censorship Expected to
Curb Transfer Of kuzi
Securities to U. S.

By the Associated Press.
Resumption of the Bermuda route
for transatlantic mails was seen in
informed quarters today as a further
measure Of tacit United States CO.
operation with Great Britain.
A tight British censorship exists
at Bermuda. and the examination
there of mail passing between the
United States and Europe led to a
sulting in Pan-American Always
emitting the stop on its trans-At-
lantic plane routes.
The planes recently resumed stop
ping at Bermuda, but officials de-
clined last night to say whether the
Government had influenced the COM
panv on the matter. Authoritative
sources indicated, however, that now
there are no objections to the CEN
sorshlp.
The Bermuda censorship will
strengthen the British blockade, it
was believed here, and make it diff
cult for German or Italian owned
securities, or anything which may
be converted into foreign exchange,
to reach this country.
It will also render it difficult, it
was said, for German or Italian news
pictures or propaganda to arrive in
the United States.
When British censors first re-
moved Clipper mail at Bermuda last
January, both Pan-American Air
ways and the American Consul pro-
tested. Secretary of State Hull said
at the time if the matter could not
be worked out with reasonable salts
faction, the question whether Ber-
muda might be omitted as a stop
ping point might come up. Shortly
afterward Pan-American did in fact
begin passing up Bermuda.
The Importance the British attach
to Bermuda as a "bottleneck" was
indicated by the arrival of more
than 100 censors from England to
augment the censorship staff at
Hamilton. The work was said to
have increased greatly with the
calling of American Export liners
there More than 1000 bags of mail
were reported removed from two of
the liners in the last two weeks.

MUZZLED BY NAVY

A retired naval officer has been
ordered by the navy department to
cease giving lectures on the war.
An officer on the retired list is in
a peculiar status. Having been dis
abled in service he is removed from
active duty and not subject to orders
in the usual sense. He gets, for life,
what looks like three-quarters pay.
Actually counting lost allowances,
it is about half pay. Whether the
navy department can legally muzzle
him is doubtful question.
Yet the navy doesn't shush up
some retired officers who do not
say acceptable things. The out
standing case is Smedley Butler.
He has called his erstwhile marine
employment the instrument of a
racket.

GUFFEY VS.. LEWIS

Sen. Joe Guffey scored a double
victory in his decisive denomination
vote. The Pennsylvania New Deal
er not only defeated his opponent,
Pittsburgh Gilman Walter Jones,
but also handed a thorough licking
to John L. Lewis.
This little-known fact was one of
the most significant features of the
election.
Before the primary, Guffey and
the c. 1. o. chief were on closest
terms. Guffey sponsored the United
Mine Workers bituminous coal reg
ulation act, and in 1888 unhesitating-
ly went out on political limb for
Lewis by supporting his candidate
for governor over the bitter protests
of most of the other Pennsylvania
Democratic leaders.
If Guffey had ducked that fight he
could have avoided personal trouble
this year. But when he went to
Lewis for help in the tough primary
battle, John L. turned him down
cold.
Only a few insiders know it, but
the dramatic rebuff took place a
few weeks before the election in
Lewis paneled, high-ceilinged pri-
vate office. Guffey explained that

Increase in Acreage of Hybrid Corn
Is Proving Profitable to y. S. Farmer
BY JEROME MARKHAM
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.l

(Released by western Newspaper Union.)
CHICAGO. = Hybrid corn,
which produces bigger crops on
a smaller acreage, has brought
to agriculture, for the first
time, the industrial technique
of standardized parts and mass
production.
Hybrid is a tough, pugilistic sort
of corn. 1t battles storms and other
vicisSitudeS of the weather success
fully. 1t beats off the attacks of
bugs and disease. But most impor-
tant, it yields from 10 to Is per cent
more per acre than the old types of
open-pollinated corn. Moreover, it
is of superior quality.
Practically unknown to the aver
age farmer five years ago, hybrid
corn, it is estimated, will be plant
ed on nearly 20,000,0O acres this
spring. Most farmers who have
grown hybrid are delighted with the
results they have obtained. Few,
however, know how or why it came
about.
1t all goes back nearly a century
to an old monastery garden in Aus
tria. There Gregor Johann Mendel,
peasant by birth, monk and abbot of
Brunn, devoted hours of patient re-
search to plant breeding. In time
he discovered the rules which gov
ern the inheritance of characters
and the way those characters can
be separated by inbreeding. In 1865
he published monograph entitled
Research on liberalization" The
paper attracted little attention. 1t
was not until 1900, or 16 years after
MendePs death, that interest was
kindled in his startling discovery.
Testing Mendeps Theory.
Then scientists in this country be-
gan to use corn to test out MendePS
theories. G.. H. Shull, at the Car
negie experiment station, E. M.
East at the University of Illinois,
and Donald F. Jones at the Univer-
sity of Connecticut, did the pioneer
work. They found that by breeding
a corn plant to itself C'selfng" by
fertilizing the silks of plant with
pollen from the same plan) strains
were developed that looked poor but
did amazing things when crossed
with another inbred strain.
Doctor Jones paved the way for
the modern hybrid industry by sug-
costing, in 1919, the method now gen.
orally used for combining inbred
lines into hybrid combinations
known as "double crosses"
First step, as has been pointed
