Glorifying
Yourself
By ALICIA HART
NEA stat Writer

1t takes a little elbow grease to
keep your hair beautiful even when
you're blessed with naturally Shin
ing locks and a normal, healthy
scalp.
Pat Ogden, glamorous, Honolulu
torn blond who is tops among Man
haitian models, recommends brush
inc YOUR haii for five minutes
every single night, and u9ing a
lemon rinse for that ultra lustrous
look.
Some people think a lemon rinse
is drying" Pat observes, but l
find that it keeps my hair soft and
bright. simply squeeze two
lemons, strain the juice, mix 1t into
a pitcher of water, and use this as
the third rinse after a washing
with any liquid shampoo"
A rinse with plain water follows
the lemon rinse.
Girls whose scalps are naturally
very dry might try an oil shampoo
combined with the lemon rinse
Warm vegetable oil, for example
peanut oil, should be rubbed on
the scalp and kept on a few hours
or overnight, before the locks are
washed thoroughly.

copitoI Talk

1t is recognized doctrine and
practice or organized labor to make
gains while business is good. En-
ployers can't be excepted TO shell
out while business is in the red or
dangerously near to it. But when
business is in the black, then is
the time TO ask for increases with
every expectation of getting results
and keeping them. That has hap
pened in every major industry dur
ing this war period-in steel, autos,
aircraft or what have you. 1t is
happening right now in coal 1t
stands a good chance of happening
in railroads.
In the case of the Akron rub
ber workers, however, it is per-
haps permissible to raise the
question of whether labor can't
be too smart for its own good,
can't push its war, boOmtime de-
mands to such point that it will
in the long run work to its own
disadvantage. From the Wash
ingtOn angles on the story, this
is ueIlnltely III SlSna.
You have to recall some of the re-
cent Akron rubber history to get
this one in correct focus.

its greatest advantages in good
times, those were the years that
marked the rise of the CIO United
Rltober Workers Union and the
consolidation of the social gains
made during the depression.
Success of the union had an un-
usual effect on the industry. Want
ing to insure a more continuous flow
of production, not wanting all their

where labor disturbances were up

of the rubber companies began a

POLISH DEMOCRACY

Long Beach Press-Telegram)
Poand's millions of friends in the Unit
ed States were disappointed after the
first World war because the government
established by the liberated Polish nation
was not truly representative of all of
Poland's people and developed into a
form of dictatorship. Poland long had
been partitioned among Russia, Prussia
and Austria, and American sympathies
went out whoeheartedly to the Polish
aspiration and eff,lt for national indie
pendence, but those sympathies cooled
when it was seen that Poland had not
achieved democracy by gaining inde-
pendence.
Many of the Polish people also were
disappointed by results of their amanci
patton from foreign domination and are
determined that better political and
social order for their country shall be
established when Poland is set up again
rs an independent nation after the pres
1nt war.

eomps nies were moving toward
the 4O-hOur week. IL was not
until war demands really took
hold that the industry was able
TO move away from the short
week
At Goodrich. it was raised from
30 to SO hours. finally to 40 hours,
but time and a half is paid for all
work over SO hours week, ana the
average work week is still under 40
hours. At other plants, the paslc
week is 40 hours, overtime begin
ming after the 10th hour, with an
average 48-hour week.
Following the accepted labor dog
ma of making gains while business
is GOOD, ho'J.ver, Akron rubber
workers put in their demands Tor
further increases in basic wage
rates. But take a look at the long
range implication e ,He?e ce-
mands.
HOW AVERAG.
WAGE INCREASES
The 3-cents-an-nour wage IN
crease which the War Labor Board
recently authorized brings the av-
erage straight time earnings to be-
tween S118 and $1.23 an hour. Ac-
tually. by the setting of new rates
for new operations. the average has
been raised from ST. to $l.33 an
hour. though the War Labor Board
does not recognize such increases
as being a factor. Nor does the
board consider as a factor the aV-
erage take-home of from $l.55 to
81 go an hour, including over
time.
But even the lower figures are
from SOC to 33c an hour higher
than wages paid tire and tube
workers outside the Akron area.
Faced by that added cOmpeti-
tive cost, rubber manufacturers
are again beginning to think
about the decentralization of the
industry which took place after
1897, and TO talk openly of more
of the same.
Everyone would like to see the
rubber workers and everyone else
make a lot of money, but the issue
here is whether it isn't possible to
force too much of a gain, spread
the wage differential between Akron
and other cities too much, force
more of these rubber factories to
get ou,; of town where the labor is
cheaper and SO put the rubber
manufacturing capital of the world
back into another period OF de-
Spond.
What the previous depression did
to Akron, the inhabitants still re-
member with a Shudder.

WILBUR WARNS OF
TWO GREAT DANGERS

Not only the students of Stanford
University, but all adults should heed
the wise words spoken by DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur, chancellor at the recent COM
mencement exercises.
Dr. Wilbur warned against two great
dangers.
One was the trend toward overcentral-
lzation of government. 1t is worth our
while to consider his comments upon this
subject now, so that when the war is
won, we shall be prepared to bring back
to local hands, the powers which during
such a crucial time as this, are more
rapidly and willingly given into the
hands of federal authority
The chancellors warning was based
upon two predictions. The best and
strongest and fairest rule is found in the
family, he reasoned The more remote
the control becomes, the less equitable
and understanding it is, and at the same
time wrong decisions become more and
more effective upon more and more peo-
pie.
For human beings there is no possible
substitute for good local self-governemnt
with full responsibility accepted by each
and every citizen"
We can measure this sound advice
against our national trends and pos
sibly against the drift toward greater
participation in international affairs.
DR.. Wilburs second warning was
against too much dependence upon "all-
out security.
when things go easy, ease becomes the
rule" he reasoned. Ease leads readily
to Incidence"
While there was no quoted reference
directly toward the second two of the
four freedoms expressed in the Atlantic
Charter, it is to be inferred that the wise
chancellor possibly implied danger from
those high purposes, and more danger in
the movement toward greater federal
controlled social security

IN Between JITTERS'

DR.. GOebbels, in between 'jitters'
caused by the imminent invasion of con-
tinental Europe by the Allies, has lots
of good propaganda material in the state
of internal affairs of the United States.
The recent surge of rioting and strikes
in this land of ours sets the stage per-
fectly for juicy niorsels which NaZi prop
aganda Minister Goebbels can use to boil
ster morale of bomb-weary Germans.
There are more than few Americans
who can see the actual work of agents of
the Reich themselves in fomenting inter-
nal diSsention in the L. S.
After the bloody zoot-suit fighting in
the Los Angeles suburbs between Mexican
youths and servicemen, priest told of
being approached by foreigner" who
asked that he be allowed to address his
congregation. When refused, the man
took himself to a street corner and used
subversive tones in speaking to an easily
gathered crowd The priest said he was
sure that the foreigner was an Axis
agent sent to this country to stir up trou-
BILE.
To divide and conquer is an old and
tried method of Hitler and his gang. He
used it in many of the little nations of
Europe which he was soon to gobble up.
While Hitler knows by now that he
can never hope to conquer the United
States he also knows that by impeding
the vast war effort now undertaken here
he can gain at least partial respite from
the long-leashed fury of Allied vengeance.
Now of all times-just before the in
vaSion and opening of second 'front.'
that Americans should provide a solid
wall of effort.
We cannot do this by fighting with
each other.

Writes:

There is no way yet Of determin-
ing whether synthetic rubber will
be able to compete economically,
after the war, with natural rubber
from the plantations of the Far
last and frCm those which are be-
ing opened up in Latin America.
We do not know even whether
synthetic rubber will have been per-
tected sufficiently before Hitler and
Hilohito can be whipped, so that
it could replace the natural gum if
price we're not involved.
We do know, unless you are in
position to disprove the computa-
Tins of DR.. Robert V. Yohe, su-
perintendent of the government
owned E. r Goodrich synthetic
rubber plant in Louisville, KY, that
10 coo American workmen can make
the same quantity of rubber out
Of butaliene and styrene that it
would require 100000 sweating COO
lies to take out OF Far Eastern
trees.
Let's suppose what does not seem
unreasonable-that American chem
lists kill the bugs that now prevent
successful manufacture of all-syn-
thetic automobile tires
Let's assume that when the war
ends it will find us with a synthetic
capacity equivalent almost to our
peace time demand for rubber.
That capacity will have been in
stalled at a cost which might pre-
clude the synthetic product from
competing with the cost of raw rub
ber.
The question will arise-and we
might as well begin thinking it over
noW-Whether we shall close down
that plant, and let it go to rack and
ruin, or whether we shall write off
some reasonable portion of the cost
against this war and keep the bu-
tadiene, styrene and buna plants
in operation.
On the one hand, there will be a
school of economic though tn say
that an industry unable to stand
squarely on its feet does not de-
serve to be propped up.
On the other will be the question:
Can we afford to let this capacity
o-sintegrate, and throw ourselves
once more in a position where, as
in December of 194l-We can be cut
off by an enemy from a product
upon which the American way of
life depends very greatly?
