Labor missed the boat! This

the defeat of one of the most
honest and capable leaders that

candidate in the manner that he
had every right to expect. Educa-

must realize that a group the size

We are not discouraged! We
intend to try again and again,

WORK
VICTORY

The election victory at the Frig-
idaire Gun Plant was the result
of hard and consistent work by a
large group of sincere union men,
bers. Among them are Lawrence
Melchi, William Holderman, Mil
dred Koombs, Kenneth Ring, Wal

liam Snyder, Fred INDIAN, Harold
Kelly, William Bailey, and many
others too numerous to mention.
Special credit is due to Joe
O'Brien, who ably chaired the
Gun Plant Division of UE Local

With the election over, every
effort will now be made to build
a strong, united organization at
the Gun Plant, with every person
who signed an authorization card
becoming a UE member.
The election victory campaign
shows that Gun Plant workers
know how to do a job, not only
in building machine guns, but in
building their union as well. Or

sisted by many Frigidaire Plant

slightly pudgy figure. So, if you're
shy of the scales, be equally shy
of plaids OF course, if you feel
that even so, life will be incomplete
without a touch of the Scotch in
fluence, try a bright scarf worn
casually with plain coat or suit.
Look also for purse in this plaid
effect, if you like, but be careful of
mammoth sizes unless you're large
enough to get away with them.
If a thorough self-analysis con-
vinces you that your figure will
stand up to the attention plaids call
to it, to be sure to choose your type
with great care. Fortunately, most
plaids are somewhat quiet this sea-
son-which is a big help. College
girls can get away with more fam
boyant tones, but even they seem
to prefer less noisy types Business
lasSies have found suits of such
plaids as Glenurquhardt the most
appropriate types for Office wear,
veering off from the all-too often
bright reds and greens. A big favor
ite this year has been the window
pane" pattern which is a simple,
large block affair and looks we'll
in suits and untrimmed coats.
Having decided at this point upon
your type of plaid, go very, very
easy on your accessories. If you
want to have all the subtlety of a
circus poster, 60 right ahead with
hat, bag, shoes and the rest in plaid:
if you prefer to be we'll groomed, buy
your accessories in solid tone that
will hold down" your plaid suit,
dress or coat. Best suggestion, Of
course, is to pick up one of the tones
of the plaid, perhaps a soft green or
rust shade incorporated in it. How
ever, if you can't find good tone in
which all accessories are available,
then use basic color, such as brown
or navy. You'll never 90 wrong
wearing conservative accessories
with a plaid suit, but you can look
unbelievably overdone II you try to
get too original in your color
scheme
Don't forget that plaids, with the
exception of those in evening gowns,
are considered casual togs. Buy &C
cessories accordingly In other words,
backless. bow-trimmed pumps are
just about as incongruous with plaids
as are much beveiled hats. You
need not go in for fat heels and
"rolley brims" with plaids, but it's
fine idea to choose the spectator
type of shoe and hat, tailored bag
and gloves devoid of fringe or
Jewel trimming. Watch your
jeweiry, too. Rhinestones and gilt
terirg gems with plaids are family
reminiscent of high heels worn with
shorts. so you'll do well to buy
tailored jewehy-earrings, pins or
braceletS-and not too much of it.
Gold or silver toned costume pieces
are exceptionally smart this year
and very appropriate.
In other words, plaids can be fun,
but they also can be disastrous. Buy
good ones, of fine quality material,
and do wear them in the way they
are intended.

Treatm t
For Scalp
Advised
Following Routine
Will Encourage
Hair Growth
Rv pafricia Tfn1snv
By Patricia Lindsay

Man or woman grows very dis
tresSed when hair begins to fall and
small or large bald spots begin to
appear. Frantically the victim
searches for a cure" and worries
at least one additional bald spot!
A noted specialist for scalp and
hair for both sexes during the last
80 years at least, puts forth the
theory that bald spots are some
times the result of defective teeth,
SO she recommends that the teeth
be examined and the cause of de-
fection traced before scalp treat
mentS are commenced.
Such a condition, naturally re-
quires scientific treatment with re-
liable aids and 1t also requires per-
severance. One month is not enough
time-it might take six months of
care before new hair begins to
cover the spots where hair has
fallen.
Here is a suggested treatment
and it must be followed to the letter
If one desires satisfactory results
For a period of II days wash the
hair every fourth day using an
herbal ointment before an olive-oil
| soap sponge shampoo. Rinse the
hair thoroughly and apply more of
the herbal ointment while the hair
is damp. When the hair is dry, part
it at every inch and paint on a spe-
cial medication for badness.
For the following IL days do not
| shampoo the hair, but each day
az cleanse the scalp with special
tonic, 90 apply a bit of the herbal
ointment to the entire scalp Qimit
the amount so hair will not get
greasy and CD paint on the special
medication for badness.
From now on during the treat
ment you shampoo your hair every
fourth day as described above. But
| for a period of 10 days you use the
| ointment and medication every sec
| ond day and between days the oint-
ment only. You must be certain
that the entire scalp gets the oint-
ment-not just the bald spots. This
stage of the treatment is repeated
until new hair begins to grow.
Once new hair shows on the bald
spots your work is not over. Once
week your head is shampooed,
but on alternate days you must use
a special tonic which is supposed
to encourage hair pigment, or a
special tonic to encourage strong
growth. Every day you give your
scalp a finger massage after apply
ing the tonic and men are re-
quested to wear a bathing cap when
taking shower baths Daily drench-
ing with shower water is detrimental
to luxuriant hair growth.

Teach Baby
To Ignore
Noises
Start Training at
About Six Weeks
For Best Result
Bv Leffice Lee Street,

y
1t is bad for the young infant,
and it certainly makes the entire
household miserable, if he is allowed
to tyrannize over his home so that
every one tip-toes about, cautiously
closing doors and talking in whis-
pers. A husband has every right to
be annoyed if he is made to put
carpet slippers on his every act when
he returns from The Office. The
"shuShing" mother can also muff1e
her family's pleasure in the home
and make every one wish the baby
had never been born!
The healthy, average baby should
be trained from birth to a regular
daily schedule. and after feeding he
should 60 contentedly to sleep Let
him drop off to the land of nod by
himself in his own bed in a quiet.
well-aired room. The practice of
singing or rocking the baby to sleep
will set precedent that the mother
will regret later on.
Some babies and children like to
cuddle up to soft doll or a woolly
animal, and there is no harm in
giving a child time plaything.
It may Soothe him and relax him.
1t is even true that if a baby is
allowed to hole a sleepy time toy
he is not so art to put his fingers
in his mouth, and suck his thumb,
his clothes or the bed covers. Such
toys should be washable and should
be kept very clean.
I do not believe that children are
naturally afraid of the dark. and I
think that this fear, like most others,
has to be taught. Therefore If a
little baby is allowed to start life
sleeping with light in his room he
may reasonably be expected to de-
mand it always and to feel uneasy
and afraid when he is alone in the
dark
Sometimes a mother will inno-
Gently inStill in her child fear OF
the dark For example, suppose a
baby awakenS and cries, not because
he is frightened, but because he is
thirsty or for any other reason, and
the mother goes to him quickly
saying, don't be afraid, darling,
mother is near" or don't be afraid,
mother is coming"
A tiny baby cannot understand
her words, but if mother practices
this habit with an infant she is
almost certain to carry it on until
the baby is the age where he talks
and comprehends what is said. Her
tone OF voice, and the word afraid"
make him think that perhaps there
is something to be afraid of, and
besides that, this is just another
method to keep mother on the run!
So let your baby start now, while
he is still tiny, to drop off to sleep
alone. After he is peacefully sleep
ing you may, very wisely, go quietly
into his room to see that he is prop
erly covered and that all is well.
