RECORD BREAKER
BY FLOYD sNELsoN

NEW YORK The so-called
slump that is supposed to hit
the attendance market due to the
soaring heat wave is no deter

cerned, according to recent per-
Torrance.
Miss Holiday, the Nations Num-
Der One Song Stylist is break
ing long standing attendance re-
cords everywhere she has appear
ed.
Going on tour after seven re-
cord breaking weeks at Club
Ebony on Broadway, Miss Holiday
appeared three capacity weeks at
the exclusive Blue Note Cafe, in
Chicago, where she excelled all
predecessors and even outdrew the
record of the famous Louis (Satch-
MOI Armstrong and bulged over
the attendance mark of all other
attractions who previously blazed
the trail and left behind the tops
of the top, figuratively speaking.
simultaneously a week at the
swank Tia Juana Club in Cleve-
land, Miss Holiday attracted the
largest crowds of all time there,
the record established
by the Kline Cole Trio and the
Nellie Lutcher.
During her stay there, Miss Holt

and her services so highly appre-
ciated that she was given the
luxurious personal suite belong

THINGS THAT INTEREST
WOMEN
HOW DO YOU LOOK?
BY BESSIE f. BELL

It's time for bit of back talki
How often do you neglect your
back in the really cleansing pro-
cess? =?
Too often our back becomes
a sort of step child, and that is
an unforgivable breach of the
beauty ritual. Gone are the days
when we were clothed up to the
chin. Today the back and should
ers are almost as much in evil
dence as ones face.
With the mad rush of "bra-top"
in dresses and the off shoulder
in blouses, something must be
done to acquire that smooth sup
pie back.
1t is really very simple mat
ter. You can purchase mild
friction wash that you mix with
a bit of cold water and apply
with your hands over the should
ers and parts of your back you
can reach.
Rinse off thoroughly, better
under the shower, if you have
none, make use of the bath tub.
Try this treatment three times
each week. You will notice the
difference after a few treatments.
After your daily Tubing, rub your
shoulders and back with a good
body lotion.
If you would like to know the
name of a lotion that will leave
your skin with a satiny texture,
or my leaflet, "Slimming The
Waistline", address Bessie F. Bell,

ETIQUETTE SAYS
When a man invites girl to
dine she is privileged to order
freely whatever she wants only
if she knows that her escort can
afford to pay for it,
Otherwise she should not be
too extravagant.

EDITORIAL

The August issue of The Read
ers' Digest carries condensation
of Bradford Chambers forthcom-
ing book, "The Boy Gangs of
Mousetown."
Mr.. Chambers book, frankly
revealing the squalor and hope
lessness of the slum environment
which breeds criminals at an ear
ly age. among the white and Ne
gro races alike. seems to us to de-
serve wide publicity. AS Cham
bers says in his concluding para
graphs, you cannot cure gangs
by breaking them up or sending
individual boys to the reforma-
tory. It's no good trying to get
rid of mosquitoes by swatting
them. You've got to drain the
swamps in which they breed. For
these boys are not SO much prob
lem children as children of a
problem society"
Every Negro and white leader
will agree with that conclusion.

caps.
