YOU when he monOpOnzeS your So
ciety and gets pea-Rreen with
jealousy every time you have an
other date. There are plenty OF
men who have to have some woman
to play around with, or tell their
troubles to. or to strut before. And,
having found one who is q good
listener and sympathetic, they fasten
themselves upon her like a leech,
but far be it from them to assume
her board bill and shopping ticket.
There are other men who camp on
a girls doorstep because they like
her mothers cooking and to ride In
her automobile while her father
paws for the gas; and there are still
other men who are dogs In the
maneer who have no idea Of marry
ing a girl themselves, but who keep
other men away by always hanging
around the premises and growing
and swapping when any eligible
suitor appears on the scene.
So you can't Judge how much a
bov thinks of you by his always
being Johnny on -the-spot. 1t may
be because of his heart, but just rs
likely 1t is his stomach.
Loads of girls write me that they
can tell by the look in boys eyes
that he loves them. No woman on
earth ever possessed such occult
powers as that. A mans eyes do not
reveal his soul. They are merely a
mirror that reflects the woman who
is looking into them and she sees
there what she wants to see. Be-
sides, she generally gets her inter-
probation wrong. The deep. dark
yearning look she beholds is not a
yearning for her. 1t is longing for
his dinner, or a cigarette. or Won
dering about how he is going to get
the money to pay the next INSTALL
ment on his flivver.

Hair has played an important part
in the history of woman. Lady
Godiva became famous because she
used hers instead of clothes. Irene
Castle was headlined as often as the
woman who started the bobbed-ha
vogue as she was as Superlative
dancer!
In the time Of our grandmothers.
those gracious ladies were wont to
boast if they could sit on their hair
Some of their allegedly more fortu-
nate sisters had braidS which came
to the bottom of their dresses.
At certain times in history, hair
dreSsers have had field day with
| milady's tresses, creating STYLES
which reflect luxurious abandon.
A Woman's hairdress is likely to
reflect the tempo and mood of the
day in which she lives. The short
bob of 1925 and the 3-inch haircut
of l94l have much in common. AS
in the earlier period. the average
woman today rushes about, leaving
the embroidery to those who want it,
and indulges in sports and civic and
political activities which call for
! comfort and easy grooming.
Short hair is here TO stay, and 1t
might as well be made to look at
/ tractive. There's no camoufaging
/ the condition of your tresses when
they are short. And remember short
hair makes brushing easy.
/ It's amazing how few persons. or
salon employees. for that matter,
brush hair prof1tably. This should
be done so that it stimulates the
scalp.
First part the hair. Point tbs
brush toward the floor when it is
near the scalp and then turn it up
ward as you pull toward the ceiling
This gives enough pull to stimulate
the circulation of the scalp. After
ward bend over from the waist, let
the head drop down. and brush the
hair. Brush and brush and brush
until each curl is crisp and alive
looking
Snort hair requires a good per-
manent unless you are fortunate
enough to have naturally Wavv
hair. If YOU set your own hair or
have time when YOU go to the
salon. towel dry it until it is only
family damp. Then set it. This
improves its texture and shortens
the time you will spend under
dryer or in the sun.
Also get a new hair stvle. You
wouldn't wear the same Style dress
or hat year after year. Don't ex-
pect your gown TO overcome the
handicap Of 1925 hair dress with
a l94l outfit. There is a wide range
within any given style and you can
find some arrangement which will
be both becoming and stylish.

Sleeping Bag
For Active
Infants
Provides Warmth,
Does Not Limit
Any Movement
Br Lefficr Lee Street,

Will you please give suggestions
for providing warmth and protection
for baby during the coming
months? NY 16-month-old boy
travels over his entire bed while
sleeping. crswls from beneath the
covers fastened over him. I am
sure he would not permit the use
OF sleeping bag as I did not use
one to start and so he is not ac-
customed to one
AnsWer-This problem is not an
unusual one, as many babies will
stand up in their cribs on bitterly
cold mornings until one would think
that they would turn to small
icicles. but they do not seem to
mind a bit. Nevertheless. they are
running the risk OF catching cold
and this practice should not be al
lowed.
There are several types OF e.
fcient sleeping bags on the market
designed to cover and restrict these
active. young fresh-air fiends.
I feel that this mother is starting
out with a faulty attitude towards
her baby if she already says. He
will not permit me to DO so and so
II she continues in this manner
she will find to her grief and his
that there will be more and more
things he will not permit" and
that he, not she, will be boss. 1t
is not within an infants power to
avoid so simple an arrangement as
sleeping bag if his mother is firm
and patient in her efforts to teach
him to become accustomed to one.
Babies are little crea lures OF habit
and they soon learn to adapt them
selves to 4 new addition to their
routine.
1t is surely better for this baby
to cry and struggle for several nights
until he realizes that there is no use
in fussing. than to be allowed to
have his own way to degree that
can endanger his health.
Perhaps, too. this little child will
prefer to snuegle down under the
warm covers when the really sharp
weather comes along
I know mother who solved a
similar problem by making sleeping
bags in this manner: She selected
warm flannel for the material which
she sewed together in a large dou-
BILE rectangle as big as crib sheet
At one end she cut hole big
enough for the baby's neck and she
slit the front to make a long Zip
pered placket. Naturally she had
to make several as they have to
be laundered just as sheet is. She
spread the bag on the bed. tucked
it in all around and pinned it
securely. then the baby was placed
inside and the Upper was pulled
up. There he was as warm as
little bug in rug and comfortably
able to move his arms and legs
about or to turn over at will. ANY
extra blankets needed were then
put on top.
While we are on the subject OF
a sleeping warmth in winter I want
to remind any of you young moth
ers whose babies are approaching
their first winters that it is not
healthy for an infant to be heavily
covered at any time The babys
blankets should be light in weight
and it is better to select all-Nool
covers than those made of cotton
and wool, as the latter weigh more
and are not as warm.
A little baby cannot tell us when
he is uncomfortable except by cry
ing and even then We often have
to guess at the reason for his misery.
You know yourself how unhappy
you are when you have too manv
bedclothes over you, and babies are
jsfst the same.

PERKINS CLAIMS
SOCIAL GAINS
CAN BE Held

ity Advancement Made Since
1888 Be Maintained While
Defense Program Is Carried
On; Labor Will Cooperate.

WASHINGTON.-(FP) - Social Sc
curity advances made by the U. S.
since 1888 can reasonably be main
tanned while the defense program is
carried on, Secretary of Labor Fran
ces Perkins declared in speech pre-
pared here for delivery to the Mime
sofa state conference of social work
May 6.
Now that we are being called upon
for a great national effort the legisla-
ton we have enacted will be of assis-
lance in carrying it out for it will
make for greater efficiency and pro-
duction through the conservation and
wise utilization of manpower," she
declared.
Miss Perkins emphasized the neces-
sity of accident prevention pointing
out that in 1910 strikes and lockouts
caused only 52,000,000 man hours of
idIeness compared with the loss of
200, 100000 man hours as the result of
accidents.
"The U. S. Department of Labor"
she said, Continues to aim at stu
alton where the nations wage earners
have steady work in private employ
ment, with adequate annual income
from wages, safe and healthful condi-
lions Of work and harmonious employ
ment relations, without stoppings of
work due to strikes or lockouts. -.

workers can be depended upon to CO.

lection and preservation of this great

The Stokes story related that Pep
per interviewed on behalf of the Pan
American Oil Co., represented by a
law firm with which Pepper was pre-
viously connected, after Allied Mate
rails, Inc which was to purchase
materials from a company in the dis
trict of Summers, was the low bidder
on 100000 gallon asphalt contract
for an army air field in Florida.
Pan-American, it appeared, was so
confident of getting the bid that be-
fore the bids were opened it had l.
100000 gallons of the asphalt already
on barges near the air field.
Pepper, Stokes related, at one time
in the dispute threatened to have the
Florida WPA director and two other
members of the Florida WPA staff
fired unless they held up the shipment
of Allied Materials, which had under
bid the Pan-American Oil Co. by $685.

He also brought pressure on behalf
of the Pan-American Co. on WPA

Asst. WPA Commissioner Robt L.
it was stated.
Interest in the affair was height
ened when it was discovered that
had bid nine cents
gallon on the Florida contract which
it was apparently sure it would get
but recently offered and got con-
tract for exactly the same material
for the state of Alabama for six cents
a gallon.
The dispute was settled when the
100000 gallons of Pan-American
were purchased and the Allied Mate
rails Co. was assured that the full
contract originally awarded it will be
carried out.

The Wisconsin senator charged, on
the basis of his committees findings,
that 1.-THE leading hind-the-scenes
participants in this shallow scheme
to save democracy by putting it on
ice are certain organized employer
groups who have made it a regular
practice and business to conspire
against the rights of labor in their
trade or region"
He named as some of the ''conspira-
tors" the National Metal Trades Assn,
the Associated Industries of Cleve-
land, the so-called "little-steel' group,
and the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers.

agreement procedure throughout the
defense industry, CD removal of the
shackles on an all out production pro-
gram, and (4) a greater participation
on the part of labor and it's leaders
in the discharge of responsibilities
for national defense production"
Fallacies in the current public anal
ysis of strikes must be exposed, La
Toilette declared.
"The fact that the primary cause of
many of our most serious strikes in
defense industries is the refusal by
recalcitrant employers to bargain col
lectively, receives very little empha-
sis.
Even more surprising is the failure
to emphasize that many of the lead
ing companies in whose plants strikes
have occurred, are guilty of a per-
sistent course of illegal conduct which |
merits nothing but condemnation and |
must be uprooted by law, economic
pressure and public opinion, as soon
and as quickly as we would wipe out |
any other regular course of criminal |
and illegal activity"

defense program to any appreciable
extent.
5. There are fewer strikes today
than at any time in the history OF
the country, according to officials OF
the Office of Production Management
Testimony before the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee showed that
95 percent of the threatened strikes
in the past year have been averted
by Cancellation and mediation.
When asked if he favored outlawing
strikes by Congress, William H. Davis,
vice chairman of the new Defense
Mediation Board, replied with a re-
sounding, "No."
"There is no use in America pro-
ducing defense materials if it is going
to be a nation of slaves. To tell a
man he cannot strike is to tell him he
must work against his will.
History has shown that any mill
tary establishment which must de-
pend on slaves to produce defense
supplies is inevitably destroyed"
And here is what Sidney Hillman,
associate general director of defense
told the House committees:
1.-THE output of American industry
has increased by "a percent. This is
the largest increase in physical output
that has ever occurred in similar
period in our history"
When the chairman of the commit
tee asked Hillman to comment on the
stories about the innumer-
able strikes, Hillman replied:
Never in the history of the coun-
try have there been so few strikes.
AS a matter of fact, strikes are ex-

A Thread of
Understanding
By MOLLY PITCHER

The ordinary mortal is too egotistlc,
too sensitive, to openly flaunt before
the world a lack of knowledge and a
fund of misinformation. Especially
should this hold true for the average
capitalistic newspaper editor, who, en-
dowed with a modicum of writing
ability, regards himself as the font
head of knowledge from whence all
wisdom flows.
Yet every day of the year thousands
of words are printed about the Soviet
Union which bear no relation to sober,
easily ascertainable facts. We are
not referring now to what passes for
personal opinions or interpretations of
the author, but only to lead articles
and editorials purporting to represent
basic information.
For example, an editorial in Mon
tana newspaper of several months ago
proclaimed with regard to small ma
tions: But today both Hitler and
Stain are practicing extirpation and
it may well be that with diabolical
DIOCtSeS WHlCu w ere uCfCl III CdhiCQ
of in the relations between mankind
these ruthless dictators may succeed
in completely wiping out several small
and helpless nations of men" This
from man who doubtlessly has new
er been in the Soviet Union nor has
ever consulted standard text with
regard to the treatment of minorities
by the Soviet Union.
As opposed to this here are ex-
cerpts from 1.-The Soviet Power" by
the Very Reverend Hewlett Johnson,
the Dean of Canterbury A theolo-
gian of international repute, he has
brought to his study of the Soviet
Union a thorough scientific training,
an unimpeachable character, high
ly-developed brain, and burning pas
sion to put Christianity into everyday
practice. Through his own suffering,
Stain, the man who had suffered,
opened a new door for the nations,
and oppressed peoples of all lands see
in him their champion" Strange
words, after what we have become ac-
customed to reading of Stalinl Furth-
er on, after full explanation: INA
tional Liberty, then, has become a
reality in the Soviet Union" And
after further facts about the immense
benefits which have accrued both cul-
turally and economically from the
manner in which the Soviet Union
treats national minorities: quite OBJ
viously this mode of settling the prob
lens is utterly opposed to all fascist
solutions Quite obviously, also, it is
nearer than any solution yet proposed

fers a magnificent example to a
