war years and found proper re- turns had been filed and taxes paid, then suddenly it was discovered that a Frank J. Massey had re- ceived Sl5O in dividends from stock owned in the Washington Gas Light Co.,, and the Treasury promptly assessed Francis J. Mas sey additional taxes.
 TAX LIEN ON S28 SALARY
 Actually, Francis J. Massey never owned the stock and never received any dividends. It belonged to his father, now deceased. Edward T Stafford, Secretary of the Wash ington Gas Light Co.,, certified that Francis J. Massey never owned that stock and never received the divi- dends owed to his father, but this made no difference to the U. 5 Treasury.
 It demanded that he pay just the same. MT. Massey's salary was only S28 a week, and he had wife and two small children to support But, under protest, he paid in small driblets of $2 a week up to total of S18.92 This, however, wasn't fast enough for the Treasury and il slapped a tax lien on his salary for the remaining S15.59s
 This got him into trouble with his employer who did not. want to be suspected of harboring a taS dodger and he was fired. E
 Thus, unable to get a recommen- dation from his last employer-ex' cept with a tax-dodging record Massey was unable to find full-timt employment His youngest child be. came i'll, the family doctor hao not been paid for past services and would not come when urgently needed. The child died and was buried in Potter's Field at govern ment expense.
 This burial expense probably about equaled the improper tax assessment of $34.51 wrung from MT. Massey. So, in the end, the Treasury Department gained noth- ing.
 Finally the Office of Deput, Collector J. Ellis Bowen apologizeo for the mistake, which they saic was made in Baltimore. We prom ise it won't happen again. Massey was told. "If you are assessed again, just ignore it." |.
 That's the experience of one ht- tie taxpayer who had mo money to hire lawyers.

 The ADA does not run as pol itical party That would, of course, expose them. They invade both the major parties, seeking strength and converts where they can. They are now violently anti Communist, but many of their adherents were among the most active fellow-trav- ellers when the Communists were part of the New Deal apparatus. Lacking political integrity and res iponsibility, they float along on other mems political activities, gaining strength where they can and de- serting a cause and a group when the advantages of association arc no longer available.
 Many of the ADA leaders have built regulations for themselves as liberals, often utilizing the Com munist apparatus to achieve suc- cess. Now that the Communists have a bad name and a bad press, these men and women have turned on them. Their defense is that what is true today was not true in 1888 or 1944.
 That, of course, is nonsense. Karl Marx began to write in 1842, the Communist Manifesto was publish cd in 1848;; "Das Kapital' in 1867 The Bolshevik group was organized in 1903; the Russian revolution oc- cured in 1917; the third interna- tional was organized in 1919. The line of socialist conquest has beer clear, decisive, and unmistakable Only towards use alibis.
 The ADA are a greater menace I to the United States than the Com munists, for they masquerade as gentle folk who wish to do good while, in reality, they are socialists Karl Marx abhorred the type. Ht called them bourgeois socialists. He described them thus:
 "The socialistic bourgeois wani all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggle! and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom They desire the existing state of society minus it's revolu- l dllQ C1C- ments. They wish for a bourgeoisie without proletariat. The bour- geoisie naturally conceives the wo.lc in which it is supreme to be the best; and bourgeois socialism de. velops this comfortable conception into various more or less comr,ett systems. In requiring the proletar. fat to carry out such a system, ane thereby to march straightway into the social New Jerusalem. it but requires in reality that the prole- tariat should remain within the bounds of existing society, bu should cast away all its hatefu ] ideas concerning the hourgeoisis.
 This is the ADA. It wants so- J cialism without revolution-a plea. sant. easy-going socialism, some thing nice, like an intellectual jan session on Park Avenue.

Cranberry Cocktails

On Cape Cod there's a place
where you can buy cranberry
cider. Tote it home in triumph,
and oh. what good cocktails 1t
makes!
But if you can't get to Cape
Cod-you can make out pretty
well with a bottle of cranberry
juice, Of which you pour out q
quarter, and give it to the chill
dren to drink. Substitute for il
an equal amount of pure grain
alcohol, shake it like mad ant
let it age for q week.
For each cocktail use three
ounces Of the fortified cranberry
Juice, one ounce Of Jamaica rum
and q dash Of lime juice. Shake
well with ice until very cold
When poured out it will be q lus-
cious pale pink-we named it q
Rosy Cloud"-much too mild q

tor till you need it. Comes cooky
time, all you have to do is take
out a roll, slice and bake. Almost
on a moments notice you can
have fresh, crisp cookies to serve
some unexpected caller. It's the
refrigerator cookie that is used
for unusual pinwheels, ribbons
and checkerboards.
But perhaps the quickest of all
is the bar cooky. Here there's no
rolling, cutting or slicing. The
dough is poured into a creased
pan, baked and cut into squares
or rectangles to suit your fancy.
Probably the most popular of all
the bar cookies is the chocolate
brownie. I'm sure you have sew

your files, but have you ever tried
these chevy caramel brownies?

Imagine a home with children
without a cooky jar on the pantry
shelf! They're the perfect answer
for after school snacks, for lunch
box packing, or for Mons after
noon "kaffee klatsch."
When you think of the variety
in the cooky family is it any
wonder they have won such last
ing praise2 The choice ranges
from the dainty little tea time
tidbits to the herman sugar and
molasses favorites. Shortened
with lard, any variety will stay
moist and fresh because Of lard's
outstanding keeping quality. Lard
can be depended upon for an ap-
pealing nut-like flavor, too.
The mother of several small
children knows she has to parcel
her time sparingly when it comes
to making desserts or extra
dainties for the family. That's
the reason she likes q cooky that
can be made quickly :. for her the
answer is a drop cooky. But what
an assortment she can achieve by
the addition Of chopped figs, dates
raisins, other dried fruits. choco-
late chips, chopped coconut or
gum drops! AS the winter holi-
day approach. try adding a bit OF
mincemeat, pumpkin or cranberry
for a festive touch.
I've always had q leaning to-
ward the refrigerator type Of
cooky myself. You can make up
the dough any time at your own
convenience. Maybe late at night
when all the household is sound
asleep. It's formed into q roll,
wrapped snugly Ia waxed paper,
and tucked away in the refrieera-

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon


Although most women now real
ize what the correct makeup can
do for them, and virtually all Co.'S
metic houses have trained persons
to help women with their selec-
ton, yet many still miss the colors
which are best for them.
Even today we see some weird
examples of incorrect makeup
We see women with rouge or pow
der which makes them look sal
low or gives the impression of
recent association with a flour
barrel.
AS whole, women today are
pretty wise about the selection
of these beauty aids. OF more
interest is the fact that, while
your makeup may be fairly good
for you, there may be other colors
which would be even better and
more flattering. 1t Is amazing
what difference the right color
can make! It can deepen the
color of your eyes and seemingly
change your skin tone. It can
make you look older or younger
Personal experimentation is the
answer. No operator can take the
time or interest in your makeup
which you do. Therefore, try a
number of new shades yourself
some you have not used before,
in order to see if you can improve
the present picture. Nine times
out of 10, you can. This can be
expensive business, therefore of =
fer the following suggestions:
Most cosmetic houses will give
you small samples to try at home
If your favorite house or store
does not do this then explain to
a saleSwoman that you wish to
try some different shades and ask
when she will have a little extra
time to give you. If you wish you
can go to dime store or a variety
store and buy small and inexpen-
sive lipsticks and boxes of powder
Get a variety of these and try
them out at home. If you find
a shade you like and wish to con-
tinue using your regular brand
take the colors and match them
in your regular line, or come as
close as you can.
In experimenting. try some
rouge and lipstick which Is more
on the orange side, some with
more blue, some with a purple
tinge and some clear reds. Some
where in this range you will find
your perfect one.
Do-not be the sole Judge your
self. Ask some close friend to
help you choose. The choice OF
this friend is important. She
must be frank and without jeal-
ousy and she must be interested
enough in your attractiveness to
tell you the truth. Everyone has
one friend like this.
Every woman should expert
ment with new makeup every few
years because the color of hair
and skin change with the years.
If you would like to have my
leaflet about makeup, send q
stamped. self-addressed envelope
with your request for leaflet No.
