BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
THE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY

THE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY
The smile is conceded To con
tain the essence Of beauty. Not
a grin however, for it simply
draws the corners of the mouth
backward toward the ears; but a
smile of charm that lifts the
corners of the mouth making a
cupid'S bow of the lips and tend
ing at the same time to pin a
dimple in the cheeks. Examine
the pictures of women of beauty
through the years and you will
see that they wear a smile, Learn
to smile engagingly. Your face
will be lighted and you will have
won the first point against old
age.

MUSIC TOPICs

Having mentioned the SOLO
lists to be heard in the Mes
siah" at Zion, April 10, I wish
to acquaint you with the ac-
compartment. Four violinS will
be played by Robert L. Gate
wood, James Hinton, Floyd Nell
son and Quilla Baptiste, while
James Mackey will play his
bass, Cora Arnold at the organ
and Gladys Perdue at the piano
will round out the instruments.

With the passing of ] Milton
Arbuckle, Boston has lost an
other of its sterling musicians.
A high ranking baritone and
a dramatic reader, he was al
ways willing to do his bit for
the delight of many an audi
ence. Space will not permit the
eulogy that I would like to give
him; but he was too well
known to need much. a model
citizen, always reliable, I feel
that he has built a character
which he need not fear to offer
to his Creator. His hand was
never slow when a case of dis
tress was made known to him.
He was an open-minded stu
dent of his beloved arts up to
the day he took his bed. Al
though we shall miss him, I am
certain that he has gone to the
better land" and that he now
knows, even as he is known.
AS this world swings on to
the inevitable universal broth
erhood, I am glad to notice
that people are known and
judged more for their ability
than by the handles they put
before their names. In the DID
days, it was almost a crime to
call a person by his name
without "Mr." in front of it.
Now Mr., Mrs. Madam, Miss,
Professor, Squire, Dctor and all
other handles are going into
the scrap heap. Notice the ads
for performers and you will see
the democratic christian names.
Then you will usually hear good
performances by those adyer-
tised. The titles we're SO often
used by persons who had no
business with them and they
got 50 that they were misrep-
resentaticns, so that they have
been dropped by almost every
performer today. By dropping
them we shed anothe rof the
old-worId customs and estab-
lish another page in our Amer
lean culture. Drop the titles,
public performers.

Negro Stewards
to Be Used By
Milwaukee r. r.

The Milwaukee Railroad has
agreed to the employment of quail
fed Negroes as stewards in its
dining car service, it was announc-
ed today by Elmer W. Henderson,
Regional Director of the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice in Chicago.
Negotiations between the COM
pany and FEPC had been instituted
on the basis of complaints received
from representatives of the Joint
Council of Dining Car Employees,
A. F. of L., and the United Trans
port Service Employees Of America,
CLIO, that qualified Negro wait
ers and waiters-in-charge were de-
MED positions as stewards solely
because of their race.
In order to effect this chnage in
policy it was necessary for the COM
pany first to conclude a special
agreement with the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen which has juris-
diction over the stewards which
permitted a change in existing
seniority rules. Now that this has
been accomplished the company is
in position to proceed in accord
ance with the Presidents Execu-
tive Order banning discrimination
in employment in war industries.
This is significant forward step
by the Milwaukee Railroad and we
are making an effort to secure
similar commitments from other
railroads in this area, Henderson
said. The Pennsylvania and the
Chicago and Northwestern rail-
roads have already announced that
Negroes would be employed as
stewards as a result of negotiations
with FEPC.

Grand Jury
Votes No Bill
In Cafe Case

The Hennepin county grand jury
last Wednesday returned a no-bill
against the Emerald Club bar at
1856 E. Franklin avenue, Mime
apolis, which was alleged to have
refused service to three Minneapo-
lis women May 6.
The women were Mrs. l. M.
Davis and Mrs. James Green, both
of 122 Hyland Avenue North, and
Mrs. Mary Johns, 10 Hyland Ave-
nue. North. On a shopping tour,
the three women accompanied by
the small child of Mrs. Green en-
tered the bar. The bartender told
Mrs. Davis that the bar ''did not
serve Negroes"
Mrs. Davis reported the matter
to the Hennepin County attorneys
office.
When such complaints are
made, if evidence is sufficient,
the county attorney has the
option of bringing the alleged
law viOlatOr into district court
or he may refer the matter to
the grand jury.
In this case, County Attorney
Michael Dillon's office referred the
matter to the grand jury which re-
fused to indict. A cab driver who
drove the women on their shopping
tour testified as to the violation. 1t
is understood that the grand jury
based its action on the grounds that
the women were accompanied by a
six year old child!
Martin johnson, 4338 Lyndale
Ave. &c., grand jury foreman, said
that the jury deliberated over the
matter for two days. He said that
he believed the bulk of the grand
jury were against race discrimina-
ton in public places, but that con-
fiicting testimony and the presence
of the child in the party were in
his opinion influencing factors in
the jury's decision.
Many citizens were critical of the
Hennepin county attorneys office
for its failure to prosecute the cafe
on the information furnished him
without passing the buck" to the
grand jury. The grand jury num-
bers 26 citizens and is all white
this term.
During the past Is years refusal of
service to Negroes in public places in Min
nesota has increased in spite of a state
law which makes violation gross mis-
demeanor and provides for both criminal
action and civil damages. Many returned
soldiers of Negro ancestry enroute to
various parts of the country have re-
ported the refusal of several downtown st.
Paul and Minneapolis bars and cafes to
serve them food or drink.
