Aides


Request or receipt of money
for political campaigns by county
employees is against the law,
Thomas V. LoCicero, chairman of
the Wayne County Civil Service
Commission. warned the employees
today.
LoCicero said he had received
complaints that certain employees
had been given a handful of Roose-
welt for President buttons by their
department heads and told to sell
them for 81 each.
"In each case" LoCicero said,
"the employee was told not to
return any unsold buttons, the
inference being that only the
full amount of cash represented
by the buttons would be ac-
cepted."
LoCicero then cited the case OF
another employe who, he said,
was asked openly for a $50 con-
tribution to the Democratic fund
1.-THE commission has been
lying low, hoping that seme
employe would come forward
with an open accusation, naming
a specific department head he
said.
Thus far" LoCicero added,
'the complalnants have insisted
on remaining anonymous"
Any employe who brings forth
a specific complaint will be pro-
tected against reprisal, LoCicero
declared.

benches, it is pretty general con-
viction among women generally.
Women use it instead Of soap.
! do not subscribe to this be-
lief, because, just as a matter OF
research, ! made survey, or what
might be called a poll, of men and
women on Eleventh Street the
other day, particularly noting
their compilations.
Now if cold cream is good for the
complexion, and if it is true that
most women use it instead Of soap,
the poll did not prove the point. OF
course the men | saw used soap be-
cause they we're clean shaven. But
counted a hundred men and a
hundred women. Seven of the
women had pimples, and sixteen
had a kind Of blotchy breaking out
that looked like the kind Of thing
you used to read in the liver pill ad-
vertisements and now hear about
over the radio anent vitamins. But
only two Of the men had pimples,
and the rest had a complexion
which, though it varied from pale
70 rosy, was smooth and clear.
Not q Mystery
Cold cream is really not h.--~su on
q mystery, except TO druggists. In
pursuit Of my researches into the
subject l called up four, and none
of them knew how to make it.
They said you bought it at the
wholesale house. Anyway, they
said, nobody wants plain cold
cream any more. They want a
preparation made by a British
peeress because the English wom-
n use it and are so beautiful.
Finally my old friend, Doors
ehuk,. who has been in the drug
business ever since the Civil War,
and whose store has hanging on
its walls everything the eonfed-
eracy salvaged from the battle Of
Gettysburg, and in whose win
dows are some large bottles filled
with gay eolored liquids-he told
me how to make cold cream
He said II was white wax and
white vaseline, and you melted
them over stove and stirred wa
ter in them and it took q power
Of muscle to do it, and had better
get it from a wholesale house be-
cause they did it with an electric
mixer. He didn't have time TO
make any cold cream for me, be-
cause he was trying to finish "The
Memoirs Of Ulysses S. Grant" and
he was only half way through the
first volume.
And, oh, yes! They put some
perfume in it. The real name Of
L is ointment Of rose water.
And asked him what 1t was
good for apd he said it was a de-
tergent and an emollient. When
asked him whether it cleansed the
skin he said no; it just covered the
dirt up.
