jacket ends in a peplum, and the
narrow skirt is topped with one.
Doubly delightful!
A full-length version of the

her outfit TO dinner dress. A
black and silvery- gray taffeta
blouse, long-sleeyed and tied at

be worn with either skirt. Still

crowd people love 10 drop in.
The hostess never gets tense,
but she has every one helping.
she has big stacks Of bread and
butter and sandwich nuxngs
and each person fixes his own:
helps himself TO a salad. and
it's a rule of the household that
each guest and the children
carry out his own dishes and
wash them. Everybody has a
wonderful time.
This woman takes a nap
every afternoon for a full hour
and she has really learned how

hour out every day is a big part
OF the reason for their healthy

Daily Nap
Relaxing

IN THESE hectic times, re-
laxing doesn't come natural to
most women. But II is some
thing the homemaker had better
learn. Housework isn't the
snap il used to be considered
and probably never was! But
today's homemaker has to give
herself some breaks.
There is one thing home
maker can do and that Is to
relax and take a nap after
lunch every day. Relax"
some OF you will explode at this
point. Il have a million things
to do and my only chance is
when the children are taking
their maps" / recognize it's a
good argument but you will get
more done for taking an hour
of.
Nervous Tension
I know three homemakers.
one spick and span and tense,
one carefree and a little lazy
and one a happy medium. From
the time she jumps out OF bed at
z in the morning. the tense
woman goes at a jerky trot all
day. While the two children
take their afternoon nap, she
flies around and gets lot OF
extras done. She keeps the
house cleaner now than il was
when she was able 10 get help.
But by dinner time she is
wound up to the breaking point.
She is short tempered with the
children and they are nervous
and underweight and always
ailing, in spite OF her fussing
about their food. And she is no
longer a gay companion 10 her
husband. The sad part of II is
she tries so hard and Is COM
pletely unselfsh person but
nervous tension Is taking the
JOY out OF everything
Does Not Need Rest
For direct contrast. let me
tell you about the one who
started 10 dust the living room,
picked up book. opened it in
tending 10 read for minute and
finished the book three hours
later with the dustcloth In her
hands! She is completely
delightful person and as YOU
might imagine. has the most
amiabIe disposition in the world.
The children are a bit neg
leeted, bat they are healthy and
happy, and her husband adnreS
her-even II he wouldn't hire
her for housekeeper. She
doesn't really need nap, but
often takes one.

Brother" Pegler and
the Negro Press

out is why the "Negro Press" stirs
up trouble. He simply tells his
readers that the child won't keep
still, keeps crying, disturbing the
neighbors and the peace of the
community - but he fails to en-
tighten them concerning this OBJ
vious fact: that the child, mean
while, is being mercilessly logged
by a mean overseer.
Pegler must know - and if he
sGesh't, any. reporter Oh editorial
writer on a Negro newspaper"
will tell him-that it gals them
to be forced to keep harping week
after week on discrimination and
jim crOwism. But, they have no
choice. Pegler must also know
that there would be no need for
the existence of the sO-called NE
gro Press" if Americans and the
full American Press would treat
Negroes as first-class citizens and
not as secOnd-class citizens and
serfs.
Pegler's ignorance of, or intent
to mislead his readers concerning
the Negro Press" and Negroes
was evident in this statement:
These frictiOneers are attached or
devoted to the New Deal Party"
Even the casual reader or now
and-then brOwser of the contents
Of the NEGRO Press" knows that
the cOlumnist does not know Cor
express) the trends of the Negroes
political sentiments. By the
way, what did the Arabian prOverb
say about the fellow who knows
not and knows not what he knows
not? But, this does not apply here,
because Pegler knows better-in
fact, there seems to be a yelled
meaning in his approach.
This interesting statement was
recorded by Pegler: "These pub
locations Negro newspapers) have
a large circulation and they con-
stantly remind the Negro that he
is a Negro while calling on the
white press to forego all such dis
tinctions."
Lest Ye Forget, the Negro
neither wants to forget he is a Ne
gro, nor does he want anyone else
to forget that. Likewise, he doesn't
want anyone to build him up as an
inferior human being and then
point to him as someone unskilled,
inexperienced, unsOphisticated and,
therefore, someone to be looked
down upon.
Westbrook Pegler is a brilliant
mana splendid writer, and too,
something of a philosopher. He
knows the score in America as it
affects the races-but, according
to all indications, his job does not
call for his going all the way to
point it out, fully and accurately.
For this reason, someone should be
assigned to keep him ION the beam"
and in the alley of truthfulness.
