BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
If YOU WASH YOUR HANDS
OFTEN

If you wash your hands often
you will find them getting dry
and irritated and often cracked,
especially if you use harsh soaps
There is an easy way to over
come this, however, and that is
by carrying a small tin box Of
lanolin in your pocket. This
you can massage into the hands
every time you wash them and
thus you will keep them smooth,
pliable and lovely.

very few white tenants would
leave in the majority of cases
if the really fine Colored appli-
cants, many of them state and
government employees or hold
ing good private employment
jobs, had been accepted. The
old bugaboo about all Colored
tenants being bad risks is of
course the bunk. I have seen
white tenants far worse. More
over you could depend on the
real estate agent to be mighty
careful of the people he sent
to a mixed residential area. At
ter all, the results are to his
business interest. All in all, the
housing barriers against Colored
people are quite un-American
and for this reason alone,
should be eliminated.

CoIOred on Beacon Hill

If our current war workers
of color should desire to move
into the communities of their
white worker friends, why
should they be refused if able
to pay and of good repute?
Moreover if certain Colored
Gsainess and professional men
of outstanding success and
money should desire to live on
Beacon Hill-aS they may some
day, what grounds of argument
is there? True, one white agent
once told me that if my Colored
clients moved into his apart
ment house all of his white
tenants would pack up and
leave. Well, even so they could
have at least at that time cas-
lily found many other apart
ments open to them. The Col
pred applicants have very few
choices to make. yet, actually

SOLDIER THANKS
POET KIRTON

From Camp Stoneham in
California Pvt. M. M. Davis, son
of Maurice Davis of Roxbury,
writes st. Clair Kirton thanking
him for his poem, Our Country
Calls" contained in the
GUARDIAN sent to camp by MI.
Davis, Sr. The soldier goes on
to saviour poem is one that
we boys in the armed forces of
America could use as our motto.
I can assure you that we enjoy
ed it, such a spirited, we'll point
ed, and truthful grouping of the
thoughts of the loved ones left
behind That is the sort Of
thing that keeps the morale
high, and your poem is one that
does so, You are to be COM
mended, and we assure you that
we appreciate it very much"

Luxuries Are Freed
From Price Control

The sky is the limit on the
prices of jeweIry, art objects,
high-pOwered automobiles and
other so-called luxury items,
under regulations issued this
week by the o. P. A.
The reason for removing price
ceilings, it was said, was to en-
able the o. PA. to give more
attention to safeguarding con-
sumers from greedy landlords
and profiteering dealers in food,
clothing and other essentials.
Another theory is that if those
with fat pockets are soaked"
for Injuries they. will have less
to spend for things which are
scarce.

Thrifty Oil Users
To Be Rewarded

Fuel oil will continue under
ratiOning next winter, the
Office of Price Administration
disclosed last week. Allot-
ments will be substantially
the same as last winter, off,
Gals said.
However, householders who
economical on the use of oil
and did not use their entire al
lotment will not be penalized,
but will have more fuel to burn
next winter, Whatever they
saved last winter will be added
to their new allowance, the o. P.
A. said.
New coupons will be ready by
July l and consumers will be
urged to fill tanks during the
summer, that full advantage
may be taken Of all available
storage space.

ROWING ALONG SPORTSDOM
BY MABE KoUNTZE

while others would. Under a de-
mocracy it is every man to his
personal choice. I personally
agree with Mrs. Roosevelt that
it is wrong to foster nations
within our nation" and thus
there really should not be any
Greek communities, Italian
communities, Jewish commun-
tiles, and Colored and white
communities. The reason the
races have so much difficulty
in getting along together in
this country is this very isola-
ton policy of the various peo-
pie. If all lived together in a
mixed community, working and
playing together, we would have
no more of the unnecessary
misunderstanding" a n d SUI
perioritieS that are prevalent
at present. When a people
crowds itself into isolated blocs
then we all know by .eXper-
fence how that people becomes
exploited and hindered and IL
mited in progress. The people
of Boston should know this
from politics alone, if nothing
else. segregation" has not
helped elect many Boston men
to Office and Colored gains in
politics here will only result
from greater understanding,
appreciation and cooperation
of a mixed society. When a Col
ored judge is elected in Boston,
he will be a man admired as
we'll by other groups and not
by any solid race influence. The
allowance of segregated policies
to Seep into Boston has only
hurt our people. Segregated
housing will do the same.

be some left over for me. Charlie is built like
one of them Greek GODS only without the
lunches He's got black, curly hair, and his
eyes are blue. He walks easy and smooth, on
account of he was dancer before the draft.
But Charlie is a big disappointment to me.
He is not interested in any danes but his
wife. What is more, none of the guys in the
outfit like him. He is always bucking
breaking his back for a promotion. They
don't mind that so much, but he refuses all
their invitations to have fun, and is very
tight with his money. He is more than tight
- he is miser.
Well, in spite of all this, l am nice to

l side in with the other guys. Then Charlie
gets promoted to corporal. Most guys when
they get raise, kind of splash around with

Nm SITTING there with only half Of me on
that dime-size chair, and my feet hurt and
i I'm getting hungry and say to myself,
This is certainly chump act, when Charlie
comes out from behind a rack full of fur coats.
Say, Al" he says to me, ''how's this one?''
From minks know nothing, but nod my
head and say, Very nice
Charlie grins and smooths the coat like it

a coat and say it's swell and he says he'll

over the price. Then we start looking for an
other, one of those economical places where
they sell minks and sables that rich DANES are
tired of.
But this time it don't 60 so fast and sit
there, looking at all the coats and thinking
it's cockeyed world all right. For thirteen
months I've been thinking of this furlough.
I've been thinking about a hotel room all
to myself, and good chow and the girls I'll
look up And what do do? get off the train
at eight am and start making the rounds
with Charlie, looking for mink fur coat for
his wife.
The reason I'm with Charlie is because I'm
the only friend he has in our outfit. Charlie
is in the Army longer than me. When get

my head. Here you are in the Army and may
be going to get your head shot off, and your
wife wants mink coat"
she doesn't want it, - he says, she needs
it, Then he sits down on the bunk and gives
me this pitch: Charlie and his wife Laurie,
it seems, are dancers. They dance tangoes
and waltzes in the night clubs. They are just
beginning to hit Broadway and the big time,
when comes the draft.
81 don't mind for myself" Charlie says,
But mind for Laurie. She's tops that kid.
Look" He shows me snapshot of her. She's
locker all right. And she can dance"
Charlie says like million bucks. You
should see her" He stops for minute and
looks far away some place - Then he goes
on with the story:
Every day Laurie writes him letter, tell
ing him how she is looking for job but has
not much luck. One day she writes, very
happy, that she thinks she will land job
in swanky night club. But the next day, she
doesn't get it, because some babe in mink
coat comes in for the job, and the other girls
don't even get tryout. Then little later
Laurie writes Charlie that she has a job in
the chorus line in The Silver Slide 1t is
second-rate joint, and Charlie is mad she has
to waste her talent
That is why Charlie decides his wife needs
mink coat. That's why he works so hard and
doesn't spend dough for Tags or beer He
doesn't even take furlough when it is coming
to him, because the carfare is too much and
anyway he doesn't want to 60 up until he can
