even in a formal parade. But IN
the informal parade through life,
when college girl and working girl
alike desires to cause the selected
mans heart to beat just a bit warm,
err, simplicity in style of dress cas-
do much to be helpful. I can give
no better advice than this: some-
where among your associations is o
woman whose mode of dress is oute
standing. Other women, and men.
admire her because she knows what
to wear and when to wear a para
ticular ensemble.
Go to her and frankly discuss tho
dress problem with her. She wiz
be flattered and she will re-.
spond.
Even if you must do your owr,
beauty work, an occasional visit to
the trained hairdresser and cos
metologist is helpful for the advice
you gain. You probably do not hava
access to professional advice in tho
matter of dress, but you can politely
insist that the salesperson who
helps you buy your clothing takes
the time and gives you the consider.
alton to advise you correctly in tho
colors you should buy.

The Negroes who started their struggle
In life after Roosevelt came in office
are showing a decided trend toward
Willhe. Those who finished college
and professional schools in 1882 and
thereafter we're too much interested in
trying to get a foothold TO do more
than listen skeptically to the mellifluous
and insidious New Deal promises In
1886. Now, however, they have stopped
LISTENING to what Roosevelt says he
has done FOR the Negro and started
at what he has done TO the Negro
After more than seven years of fruit
less toll and ever increasing insecurity
the young Negro has fully awakened
to the menace represented by the New
Deal It has become plain that Negroes
have nothing to gain and everything
that they have left to lose by voting
for a Third Term.
AS a result the Republican Party
finds itself with the voting power of
a united group behind it. True, the
New Deal had it in 1892 but then
state of panic existed in which each
man was trying to save himself without
thought Of the other fellow. The New
Deal happened to be the only refuge
which SEEMED to offer. Panic is again
the motive impelling a united front but
this time every Coaored man realizes
that in order to save himself he has 10
have the other fellow saved.
The Negro professional group knows
that in order to collect good fees the
laborer, farmer and white collar workers
must be paid good wages. Teachers and
ministers are only too well aware that
their continued existence is entirely
dependent upon the welfare of their
particular communities. All groups rea-'
lie that doctors and dentists must be
adequately paid in order to make. them
content to stay and serve the needs of
the people And People Can't Pay
Bills With Relief Stamps.
