LEMON JUICE
FOR BLEACHING

OF course, if girls legs are very
thin and her knees knobby, she
has no business fooling around with
the style at all. But. if it is just
a little attention that is needed
here is how to go about beauty
flying the knees:
Use a good bleaching lotion until
your knees are as white as your
hands.
Plain lemon juice will also do
the bleaching trick. Softening can
be accomplished by rubbing night
cream onto the knees at the same
time it is put on the face.
The lotion you use on your hands.
is all right for knees, too. And it
is probably the best way of keeping
the knees looking nice-once they
have been "reconditioned."
For knee-beautifying isn't thing
the college girl can accomplish IN
a couple of weeks and then forget.
When the weather gets cold and
blustery, she'll find her knees get
ting red and rough If she doesn't t
keen up the good work.
1t won't be much OF a job, though,
If she will remember to rub To-
ton into her knees whenever she
rubs it on her hands. If she isn't
willing 10 do that, she had better

The new college girl style, knee
length skirts and long socks, calls
for a new beauty routine-beauti-
fying the knees.
The job must be done if a girl is
to find the style becoming. Other
wise she'll bear a marked resemb-
lance to her kid sister, whose knob
by knees have had hard wear dur
ing summer months.

He's always been afraid he isn't
going to notice the new hat his wife
is wearing or the new living room
curtains she has spent the day cut
ting and sewing.
He's so afraid of overlooking some
thing he should notice that he oc-

an old dress.
Her contempt for that kind OF
mistake is worse than her disaap-
pointment when he overlooks some
thing new.
So no wonder he is uneasy. He
knows that no matter how hard
he tries. he can't notice all the
things a woman expects man to
notice. Women, it seems, have never
realized that men notice different
things.
A man will hear noises in a car

This Falls Smort College Girls Will
Pass Up the 'Sophistica ated Effects
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

The smartest college girl-fall 1910
style-is a perfectly groomed, nat
ural- looking beauty with shorter
hair, shorter nails and shorter skirts.
Long bobs are not so long. Claw
like. pointed nails are considered
old hat. Pinafores and knee-length
sports skirt, worn with longer socks
and requiring smooth, white knees,
are the style news of the hour
BE YOURSELF"
is THE SLOGAN
Both the shorter skirts and the
pinafores give their wearers a fresh,
unspoiled look with which heavily
made up eyes and siren nails would
be incongrueus. This falls fresh
man will try to look like a glori-
fled version of herself-not like a
movie star or her sophisticated old
er sister.
She'll consider soap and water
her best friends. using them to clean
her hair once a week as we'll as for
daily tub or shower and twice
daily face and neck cleanings.
She'll have three creams on her
dressing table-one for cleansing,
one for softening and another to
wear under makeup.
In addition to the creams and a
couple of hair brushes, of coures,
she'll take along to college hand To-
ton. d manicure kit, wave-set To-
ton, perfume (not for classes
rouge, lipstick, powder and perhaps
mascada for evening. Obviously, she
won't need throat creams, eye
creams or other wrinkle-eradica-
tors. She, lucky one. doesn't have
any wrinkles to eradicate.
CAP" COIFFURE
is VERY PRACTICAL
Ultra chic is the new "cap" coif-
fure which one of the best hair
dressers recommends especially for
college. The hair is cut quite short,
the crown left smooth and straight,
with the ends all the way around
finished in little ringlets
This is a simple hair-do to wash
and set at home and to manage
between visits to the hairdreSser
The curled ends and attractive whe-
ther they stay in orderly ringlets
or simple. brushed-out curls. The
hair does not look untidy even after
a blowing about in the breeze.
Brushing is all-important. 1t re-
moves scaly deposits on the scalp
gives dry hair a healthy sheen and
tends to normalize the over-active
flow of oil from the scadp of the
oily-haired. 1t is indeed the great
cure-all for hair ailments. And
anyone who cannot have professional
scalp treatments a couple of times
week certainly should brush her
hair every night.

TRADES COUNCIL OF
MIDDLETOWN ELECTS

At the regular meeting of the Mid
dletown Trades and Labor Council the
following officers were elected to lead
the council for 1910:
President, R. NJ Lukens, Fire Fight
ers; president, Harry Andres,
Plumbers; secretary, Sid butcher,
Truck Drivers; treasurer, AL. Holt
hendricks, Movie Operators; trustees,
William Crispman, Gus Miles, and
Noel Ford; guard, James Robinson,

William O'Brien, who has served
the Middletown Trades Council, and
served them we'll for the last five
years, declined the nomination as sec
retary for another term. After the
election the delegates gave Brother
O'Brien rising vote of thanks for
his many years of fine service and the
hard work that he has done. Officials
of the council say O'Brien's refusal
to serve longer is distance loss to
the labor movement in Middletown
and elsewhere. He was always ready
to assist any local or man that he
could, and was willing to serve on
any committees that he was selected
for. A great deal of cerdit must be
given Mr.. O'Brien for the high esteem
that the local business men hold for
the Middletown Trades and Labor
Council. He has been very active in
any civic enterprise, always willing
to take the hardest jobs and see them
through.
Mr.. O'Brien promised the council
that he would continue to attend the
meetings as delegate from his local
and would always be willing to assist
in any way that he could.

CONTROVERSY OVER UNEMPLOYMENT
COMPENSATION BRINGS STATEMENT

him off. That is the cause of most
of the trouble.
After all, in this controversy as in
all similar situations, there are two
parties vitally concerned. First, the
man who receives the benefits and the
man who pays, with government ad-
ministering the benefits by law.
Representing labor, the federation
believes that benefits should be based
upon the full-time weekly wage, the
amount a person would earn if en-
ployed full time.
Because of the low payments in
Ohio, labor suggests that 10 per cent
of the earnings in the high quarter
(the administrators proposal 9 per
cent? be taken as the average weekly
wage in cases where the administra-
tor is unable to determine the full
time weekly wage.
For example, a person earning $3.50
in the high quarter, or an actual av-
erage of $40 per week for the quarter
would, under the administrator pro-
posal, based on per cent of the earn
ings, receive $12 per week unemploy-
ment benefits. Under 10 per cent
proposal suggested by labor "a. F
of L.) that same worker would re-
ceive $13 in weekly benefits
If the worker averages $22 per week
for the high quarter he would receive
$13 under the administrator formula
and $14.50 under labor's counter pro-
posal.

Thomas ]. Donnelly, Secretary Treas
urer and Legislative Agent of the
O. S. F. of L., Gives Explanation
of Controversy, as Follows:

The executive board of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, meeting in
Columbus January 10, considered the
proposal of H. c.. Atkinson, admin
istrator of unemployment compensa-
tion, for changing the method of de-
termining the rate of benefits paid to
unemployed workers in Ohio and left
the matter in the hands of it's officers
for whatever action they might deem
necessary.
The position of the Ohio federation
is well known Labor has contended
in cases presented to the courts and
in hearings before the advisory coun-
Gil, that the law provides that benefits
shall be based upon the full weekly
wage-the amount person would
earn if employed full time and that
such provision can be administered.
This has been fully presented in our
Ohio Labor News Service.
The administrator has submitted to
the Board of Review a compromise
proposal This has been accompanied
by fanfare of publicity which may
or may not be helpful in arriving at
solution of the problem.
One group has engaged the admin
istrator in typewriter battle of pub
licity releases, demanding a federal
investigation. Another group, blast
ing the administrator proposal, pre-
tends to be greatly concerned about
the equities" of the situation and the
benefits to be paid to unemployed
workers, although it has consistently
and eternally opposed the principle of
unemployment compensation just as
it opposed workmen's compensation,
old-age pensions and other social leg
islation that would benefit the work
erS.
The Ohio Chamber of Commerce in
its opposition to any increase in bene-
fits attempts to smear the proposal of
the administrator but in it's despera-
ton, contradicts itself In one breath
they worry about the low-salaried
person steadily employed receiving as
much as the skilled worker who is
employed irregularly and at the same
time say that those workers who have
no high quarter are Disseminated
against. They express great concern
about the rating of Ohio among other
states in amount of benefits paid and
charge that it is "unsound to propose
an increase in total benefits merely
because payments are less than cur
rent income"
However, it is our belief that they
are not primarily interested in build
ing large fund to protect the unem-
ployed workers but want to reduce
premiums to employers through the
automatic merit rating system, for
which they were responsible-a sys-
tenn under which the benefits paid to
an unemployed worker are charged to
the account of the employer who laid

LABOR AIDS in
FINNISH RELIEF
MONEY DRIVE
Half Million Dollars Raised in Month
for Non -Combatants.


New York City (ILNS) - Hitting
the half million dollar mark one
month to the day after calling on the
American public to aid distressed non
combatants, Herbert Hoover, national
chairman of the Finnish Relief Fund,
has announced transfer of another
100000 to Finland. Organized labor
is aiding actively in the campaign for
funds.
Announcement that the fifth $780,
900 was being placed at the disposal
of the Finnish Civilian Relief Com
mittee followed closely report from
F. Dorsey Stephens, American repre-
sentative of the Finnish Relief Fund
in Helsinki, that the number of suf-
fering and destitute non-combatants
was fast approaching the 100000
mark.
Need Reported Increasing
With the sub-zero weather now
more severe than at any other time
since the undeclared war started,
Hoover said that providing adequate
clothing and food for the homeless
civilians "is becoming a serious prob
lem" He said that the Civilian Re-
lief Committee finds itself faced with
greater problem every day "as the
number of those who must be provided
for increases with every new attack !"
One of the nations largest single
forces-organized labor-is being mo-
bilized to push the drive for funds.
Dr. Alexander S. Lipsett, director of
the National Labor Organization Divi-
sion of the fund, announced that 40
national labor leaders will gather here
for Dutch treat" luncheon to plan
for active participation of the nations
$4,000 local labor unions.
"The men who will attend the
meeting will speak for all organized
labor" Dr. Lipsett said. "They will
map out campaign whereby every
labor council in the nation will aug
ment the work of state committees.
| am convinced that the 100000 wage
earners in organized labor-regard-
less of affiliations-wi cooperate in
this drive to raise money to alleviate
suffering of the Finnish civilian pop
ulation."
Green Asks Funds
William Green, American Fedora
tion of Labor president and honorary
chairman of the National Labor Com
mittee of the fund, and Matthew Woll,
A. F. of L. vice president and chair
man of the committee, sent joint
letter to all national, state and local
unions, central labor councils and
women's auxiliaries affiliated with the
A. F. of L., calling upon them to sup
port the drive for funds.
''The American people have risen
nobly to the tragedy of that little ma
ton, which asks only to be left alone
to work in peace" the joint letter said
in part. "The Finnish Republic, in its
short existence, has been an inspiring
example of social progress and mod
ern labor legislation. American or
ganized labor has at all times re-
sponded to the cry of the prosecuted,
destitute and unfortunate for help.
"The national Labor Division of the
Finnish Relief Fund requests organ
lied labor to render full measure of
relief to the suffering people of Fin
land. To make labor's response as
effective as possible, we suggest that
you take immediate action and appro-
pirate substantial contribution to
this worthy cause"
