Beautiful eyes are not only the
windows Of the SOUP in the poetic
sense, but they are your most i'm
portant beauty feature. People look
FIRST into your eyes and remember
them longest. 60

can be2 OF course. eye makeup ap-
piled ever so deftly and sparingly,
does lot to bring out the beauty of
your eyes, but that's the last step.
First Of all, clear eyes come from
plenty of sleep. so don't sl1imp on
the shut-eye If you want pretty eyes
daring their waking hours. Next,
avoid eye strain. If you need glasses,
wear them-the old, ugly, horn
trimmed spectacles have given way
tn modern glasses styled to add
rather than detract from your good
looks. Never read or sew in poor
hight, for you'll squirt and bring
those aging little lines around your
eyes. The lighting experts say at
ieast 100 watt light bulb for read
ing and close work. 1t LIZ also o good
idea TO wear sun glasses in bright
sunlight. but be sure they GRE the

Open Letter to fhe
Management of coneo's
Non.Profit Cafeteria

Gentlemen:
In a recent issue of the Toledo
Union Journal, l read of that Won
derful, pep giving 7 cent unra-
toned coffee which is served in
your cafeteria.
Now, if the brother who in
dulged in this wonderful beverage,
would try the night shifts menu
in your cafeteria, he would be a
walking, talking, advertisement
for living skelton.
A short time ago, | ate in your
cafeteria and had the following
dishes which were on the menu:
Pork sausage, totaling an inch and
half. (Micrometers don't lie).
Heaping dish of II peas. (The
waitress knocked off 1, saying 13
was unlucky). Cabbage, | had so
much that it would make a rabbit
wonder why the hunters don't
shoot him, to save him from star
vation. Two slices of three day
old bread and a dab of butter.
(Your wrong, I only got one heeD.
And now for the apple pie, what a
pie. (The crust of some baker, to
forget the apples).
That pleasant aroma from your
z cent unrationed coffee was kill
ing me, SO I passed it up; instead,
| had bottle of milk.
With this heaping tray, | ambled
to the cashier, and before could
say presto, he said "58 cents
please"
After I put this hearty meal
under my belt, | began to groan
and belch. THAT was due to my
empty stomach).
So, l tightened my belt several
notches and staggered to Links
cafe. There | downed 5 hot dogs
and a bottle of beer, as stimu-
liant, for my empty stomach then
/ was able to resume my duties
as mule driver.
Now, gentlemen, don't expect
cow on the hoof, or pig in the
poke for 50 cents, but don't you
think we should get some food that
would stick to the ribs, and l
don't mean spare ribs.
We work hard to earn this
money but I'll be D, +. ID, if I'll
get myself all tired out on my own
time carrying empty plates on a
tray.
Yours with a blurrping stomach
Casimer Pisarski.

Negroes Train for
Bomber Forces

WASHINGTON, Sept. A (FP)-
A step in the breaking down OF the
Army's Jim-Crow policies was re"
vealed Sept. .. Acting Secretary OF
War John j. McCloy told a press
conference that within the next 50
days Negro cadet pilots will be
sent to Fort Dodge, Kas., or Del
Rio, Texas, to start training, with
white students, for the Army's
bomber forces,
They will start training in B-26
transition units, with the objective
Of the command of BIG planes"
In December, moreover, Negro ca
diets will be trained as bombardiers
and navigators for 18 weeks, then
sent to gunnery school. All OF the
training will be with white stu
dents, whereas the air force here
tofore has segregated Negroes in
Jim-Crow fighter squadrons, train
ing them in Jim-Crow schools.

Continued from Page /

Philip Murray, president of CIO,
said recently: "Organized labor, in
cluding our own CIO War Relief
Committee, recognized the Nation
al War Fund as the instrument
through which its gifts for the dis
tressed of the world, both here at
home and in allied lands, can most
quickly be put to work for those
needs with which it is most con-
cerned. This great union of services
avoids confusion Of effort, needless
duplication and channels labor's
mighty contribution to the war and
peace efforts with minimum of
Embarrassing expense"
The goal for this years drive in
the Toledo area is $1,309,9 ,944, an
increase of 28 per cent over last
years goal. According to Richard
Laette, CI0 Community War Chest
director, the CIO in this area has
set goal of 100000 and expects
pledges of at least an hours pay
a month from each CIO member.

Main Facts Listed
/. In the first six months of this
year the war factories of the U. s.
fell more than 11fo behind the
scheduled munitions production.
And these were schedules which
had already been revised drastical-
ly downward.
2. War Production Boards index
of munitions production stood at
$50 for June compared with 563
for May and 293 for June, 1912.
War expenditures during July fell
to $6.7 billion, or to 1870 below the
previous month. The average daily
rate of war spending in July. was
1870. below that of June. July pro-
duction in war plants also failed to
industrial production as a whole
reach overall schedules, although
reached a new high in July.
3. A 800 increase in average
monthly production in the second
half of the year is required if the
military schedules are to be met
and WPB Vice Chairman C. E. Will
son has warned that war output
must increase 400 above present
levels by the end Of the year.
4. The military program for
1913 calls for an increase. of 500
over last year; rise in steel out
put of over 800; in aluminium,
1000; munitions, 1850, and COM
bat planes, 5000.
5. Military plane output, theAE
to the crushing superiority we
maintain m the air, is high, but&
number of planes turned out in
July was 1878, or only 173 more
than were made in May, two
months before. The schedule calls
for 10000 month by the year
end, but already Washington re-
ports indicate output may reach
little over 5000 by that time.
Additional factors contributing
to the production decrease were
listed by Ira as: bad distribution
of materials, leaks of scarce ma
terials to non-essential industries,
inefficient plant management and
loss of manpower. Although there
is no overall labor shortage, rapid
labor turnover, particularly in west
coast aircraft plants, is caused by
lack of housing, transportation, dag
nurseries and child care centers.
