BY WILLARD CARLTON

There's an astute gentleman
with an inquiring turn of mind
whose research has turned up
some facts and figures that have
astonished Capital observers both
i'll and out of labor. As. for in
stance:
Organized labor quite a busi-
ness i'll itself-has some 60. 600
locals which employ more than
10000 persons.
OF those 10000 workers. cleri-
cal and otherwise, employed by the
unions. less than 10000 are them
selves members OF unions-Otfice
workers outfits and the like
The unions pay their help. this
gentleman's statements point out,
an average OF $50 week-or "ap-
prGXimately $4,000 year less
than the amount which labor's own
economists stated is necessary
TO keep body and soul together"
OF some 500 labor papers pub
lished. only seven operate under il
union contract
Why, this inquiring gentleman
is asking to some peoples discom
future, don't the unions raise their
workers. pay - per cent. as they
demand OF industry?
Why don't the unions set up
health and welfare funds for their
own employees. such as the $40
100000 Thy June II welfare fund
for union coal miners by the in
Idustrys contribution of five cents
for every ton of coal they mine?
In brief. he is asking. why don't
some labor leaders practice what
they Dreach?"

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowman

and to me, new suggestion when
he said that In applying hpstick.
women should take into considera-
tion the way their mouth looks
when they talk and smile as well
as the way 1t looks when in repose.
He told me also that we should look
at our lips from the profile view
when we consider how TO make them
up.
According to MFR. Campbell. the
eyes are the focal point Of brunei
while the mouth is the focal point Of
% blond. Special consideration
should be given TO individual makeup
plans in order to attractively em-
|phasize the focal point.
Strange as it may seem, this
makeup expert is a naturalist and
feels that it is a mistake to try to
cover up natural lines. He thinks
smiling lines are attractive, but, Of
course, dislikes frowning lines.
Get out your paint brush and see
what you can do to your lips In pro-
file as well as front view and when
they are in action as well as in re-
pose!

trying to ape the makeup of stars,
because makeup for the screen is a
very specialized art which is not
generally applicable to every day

In lieu Of this, he mentioned the
|grotesque lips one sees painted on
faces in every day existence. On the
screen, lip makeup Is designed for
individuality and to carry out the
part the actress Is playing, and the
way she talks, and whether the
makeup looks well when she smiles

BOOK ON GARDENING?

We have recently moved into a
