Mrs. Roosevelt Asks
End Of Racial Split
For National Unity
Must Think Of Ourselves
As One Greet Group, She
Tells CoIored Audience

+ America can never obtain the
unity needed to win the war II
separated by racial and religious
differences, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
last night told q gathering Of $500
colored people at Metropolitan
A. M. E. Church, Fifteenth and M
streets NV.
A demand that colored men "be
integrated In the personnel Of the
Army, the Navy and Marine Cops"
was voiced by Judge w. c. Hueston,
who added I'VE believe We have
earned the right to this full op-
portunity."
Mrs. Crystal Bird Fauset of Phil
adelphia, racial relations adviser,
ONCE of Civilian Defense, asserted
that "if the white people will per-
nit President Roosevelt and Mrs.
Roosevelt to give consideration to
race problems, not as q philan-
thropic gesture but as a great aid
to national unity, then America will
make democracy reality in all the
world"
Mrs. Fauset received tremendous
applause when she said that "one
reason President Roosevelt has our
respect and affection is that he has
tried to give decency and justice to
the Negro"
Helped Develop Country.
Mrs. Roosevelt at the outset told
her representative colored audience
that you have always been a part
Of the history of our country, you
have helped develop it, you have
served it.
with two great ideas warning in
the world today, American man
power and woman power will be-.
come stronger by making sacrifices" 4"
she said.
If America has a citizenship that
feels itself more secure, Mrs. Roose-
welt declared, the men at the battle
front also will feel more secure.
In the last war, she said, all "our
people were not given equal oppor-
tunities from educational and eco
nomic standpoints." adding that I'VE
won the war 20 years ago but lost
the peace because we did not under
stand what 1t took to build a de-
mocracy."
Urged to Face Realities.
Urging her audience to face reali-
ties, Mrs. Roosevelt said I'VE thought
after the last war we could be COM
placent about things that were
wrong" America will be stronger,
she continued, ''if we know when
and why things go wrong, and if
we know why we failed as individuals
we will be building character we
need to win this war"
Briefly alluding to minority groups,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared '1t is bet
ter to think Of ourselves as one
great group demonstrating to the

world that peoples Of different races
and religions can work for a COM
mon good.
I'VE can have many differences,
yet believe in basic things, the right
to human freedom. the right of the
individual to feel individuality" she
declared.
Young people are dying today, she
said, because we never made it our
business to build a world in which
disputes could be settled without
war"
Sees Expression Of Loyalty.
Mrs. Roosevelt envisioned a civili-
zation which eventually should
give to all life worth living,
building a democracy free from
want, free from restriction"
The patriotic mass meeting. Mrs.
Roosevelt asserted, "reiterates the
fact that you, representing a great
group OF citizens, desire again to
express your loyalty to your country"

Bold Stripes

ALONG WITH the new cot
ton suits are many of the new
pseudo silks, crisp and dressy.
Dolores Costello loves 'em, Is
dallying with the idea OF having
one made up in the same apple
green and white stripe which
was used 10 make her costume
period of 1910 for her new
picture.
You'll see lots of these quaint
old-fashioned stripes, some OF
them very bold, for both dresses
and suits this summer. One way
to be gay, even If we can't have
lots of yardage in one ensemble.

Indian Motifs

EVERY TIME we turn
around we see another of these
new prints which are wide
stripes, each stripe a different
geometric pattern. Some of the
stripes are rows of squares or
loops or triangles; some are
styled Inca designs; others
look like finger painting.
w hat astonishes us COM
pletely is the fact that the
dresses are made up with the
stripes going round and round,
in defiance of all the laws of
up-and-down designing. But we
must admit they look okay; even
round and round.
One of the newest of these
patterns-there's a bit of the
Indian motif in the pattern in
the stripes--is brown and
cream jersey which Jane Ran
dolph wears in her new picture,
Highways by Night" Very eff
fective.

Medals for Women

We are giving medals TO men
who dive through Jap air fleets,
who carry the wounded through
vicious jungles, and save the
drowning.
We should give medals also, !
think, TO the women who wait
alone at home. without consola-
ton.
To The mothers who have seen
their boys march out Of their
lives forever.
To the wives who live in
terror. bringing their babes up
a.fatherless.
There are many forms of hero
ism. theirs is the least.
n They. too, wear swor d
through their hearts.
M This is a salute to them.
This is a salute 10 the women
of America who are enduring
the terrible price of democracy.

HoIIywood's
New Weight
Allowance

THE LATEST weight allow
ance to be given Hollywoods
approval is 100 pounds for S feet
of height with an extra five
pounds for each extra inch.
That's pretty big of the movie
capital--where a girls contract
hangs by a pound!
But some of the loveliest stars
would find it a disadvantage to
conform to such an inflexible
standard. For example. there's
Joan Crawford, who is 5 feet 4
inches tall.
She has wide shoulders and
big bones and if she went by the
weight standard she would look
gaunt. Like many others. Miss
Crawford is governed by her
own good common sense. She
weighs $50 pounds. That sounds
hefty, but she has a beautiful
figure.
Structure Best Guide
No matter whether a girl is in
or out of the movies, her weight
should be determined by her
structure.
That allowance Of 100 pounds
for the first 5 feet with the addi-
tional five pounds for each extra
inch is only for the girl with
the Slight frame.
A girl of 5 feet 4 inches with
a slight frame, can weigh 120
pounds.
If she has a medium frame.
she should weigh lbs pounds.
And If she has a large frame.
she S h GU d go on up to 100
pounds.
With a very large frame n
girl of 5 feet 4 inches can weigh
as much as LAB pounds and look
well. But just be sure you are
In the large frame class before
letting your avoirdupois 60 up
that high.
Age and weight
And what about your age and
weight? The one has nothing
10 do with the other after you
are past 25.
Until that age, p bit Of extra
padding is considered a health
margin Afterwards. excess
weight is Just a liability.
Chances are you have 10 hold
your weight down. But you
might have 10 keep boosting the
Galleries 10 get il up. Even tho
movie girls who are too thin do
not look their prettiest and they
do not have the vitality they
need.
When ] interviewed Jane Wy
man a few years back. she
looked like just another skinny
blonde 10 me.
Since then she has taken on
curves and is something of a
beauty.
There arc a lot Of other toe
thin girls in Hollywood-Ba

Greta Carlo among others
who would have much better

They are dying. literally. that
