American Men Are Buying Cosmetics
BY Mary Brown
OF Harriet Hubbard Aver
(Gueet coiumninr for Eleni who

~ On VAcauon.J
I realize a bald statement like
that could lead to o fuzzy future
for me so I'll qualify 1t before the
air gets warmer. Men are buying
cosmetics In the sense they play q
major part in debating women's
buying habits. No matter what
the little woman tells you. II the
gent in her life doesn't like her
lipstick shade she changes 1t; If
his nose doesn't respond to the
scent 1t picks up she switches her
perfume-if he likes 1t she bathes
in 1t and tells her friends about
it and starts run" on what
looked like a bit of harmless liquid
even to the optimistic manufac-
turer.
A man may be helpless about
himself-he may buy collars that
fit like barrel slaves and wear
golf socks with his pin-stripe suit,
but he feels he KNOWS what's
right for her-HIS little woman.
Any one with his finger on the
pulse of statistics will tell you
women hold the purse strings of
the Nation. But when they open
that little purse and the folding
money crawls out it is usually
spent according to the fond dicta-
tion-the implied taste-of the
man in the picture. Women. even
the best dressed. look for subtle
direction from men-and they get
it. The way q woman dresses
the smart or the sweet or the
colorful-usually grows out of the
wishes Of some one she aimed to
please. A man probably started
her pattern. A smart woman fol-
lows pattern a majority of men
like /. l.. that is, If she doesn't have
a special "he" giving her hints on
what HE must see in front Of him.
Woman may be emancipated,
but she is just a wet waffle in the
hands Of dear John when he's
told her the rouge she Is wearing
looks like it rubbed of goldfish.
You won't find that shade in her
rouge pot or on her face ever
again. even If her favorite actress
indorses it. I watched a man hide
his formally dressed companion in
the movies while the rest of the
crowd went dancing simply be-
cause he could not face his friends
with his blind" date. She was
only color blind. I wanted to bite

him but I certainly couldn't argue
his right to resent her.
Many little brown wren has
remained a little brown wren
simply because her sweet teller"
never grew articulate enough to
say he liked red over brown. One
OF the great reasons why a woman
fights furiously when you try to
change her makeup from harle-
quin horror to muted loveliness is
because her man hasn't said he
dislikes it and he still kisses her
goodnight" And who wants to
chance change and lose "Looey?"
Men are pretty fussy about cos
metics. He can show up with

Stranger OF
Chicago Boy,

CHICAGO (ANP)- A police
dragnet has been spread through
out the south side for the strang-
Ter of an 11-year-old boy, whose
body was found early last week
in bushes near testing lanes on
Lake Shore Drive. The victim was
Dion Lightfoot, son of Mrs, Mary
Lightfoot, a widow.
The boys body was discovered
by a nightwatchman at the Chi
cago Fair. A two-foot length of
electric wire was wrapped about
his throat and knotted in front.
There was no evidence of sex
offense, and police, believe the
murder was committed by some
boys whom the victim knew. Dion
sold papers and was said to be
"nobody's fool"

The many Daytonians from
Louisville and environs will be in
terested in the publication of the
collected work Of three young Ne
gro poets who have never before
been published. The work has
been issued by the Exposition
Press in New York under the title
of Twilight Dreams" ($2.50.)
The three neaphyte poets are
Robert Milum Baker and Homer
Preston, students at Louisville
Municipal College, and John Ro-
bert Jackson, a graduate of Louis
vile Municipal College and now
a teacher in H~ydaburg, Alaska.
Despite the similarity in back
ground of these authors the book
reveals as significant difference in
temperament, experience and sty-
les. The themes vary considerably,
ranging from love, life and con-
Germ over the future, to the prob
lens of the Negro people.

Devotees of modern music in
this area should purchase this
magazine called "Jazz" just put
out by Metronone Magazine. 1t is
a summary Of the high spots in
modern music for the year 1919.
Barry Ulanov is one of the editors
whom many of you will recognize
as one of jazzdoms most ardent
supporters.
This writer advises reading of
the magazine because it is a high
ly serious summary of the really
progressive movements in the field
of popular music. Iadvise the read
ing for the reason that musical
tastes of most people in Dayton
and vicinity are, in my opinion, i'm
mature and highly undeveloped.
The tastes hereabouts seem to
favor the more or less reaction
airy, Uncle Tomish blues-type Of
singing as examplified by Wynoni
Harris, Larry Darnell and their
fraternity and sorority. These
blues specialists present a type Of
music which does not demand alb
ility or quality, but just a super
fetal knack for expressing in a
blues beat a vulgar sentiments on
sex. NJ

There is also an inclination here
to "get sent" by the snowy inter-
pretations of artists like Illinois
Jacquet, Annette Cobbs and other
grandstanders of note.
Perhaps it is unfair of me to
criticize, for I was fortunate
enough to be one of the steady
visitors at Tebby Hills Mintons
back in the period of 1888 to 49,
a. when the real jazz of today
was being developed by such
great artists as the immortal
Charlie Christian, Trummy Young,
Theoloneus Monk, Dizzy Gillespie,
Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon
and others who used to drop in for
jam sessions. This was the days
before men like Parker and Gill
espie went commercial.
I can't tolerate most of the
blues singers myself and the
cliches of Jacquet and Cobbs bore
me. But show me the instrument
talist who can surpass Lester
Young in originality, in phrasing
and in artistry.
Metronone places these four
men as the most influential in
the development of present-day
jazz: Lester Young, Roy Eldridge,

MATS System Revised
To Train Air|ift Crews
In Event Of New War

The Defense Department today
revised peacetime operations OF
the Military Air Transport Service
to make the organizations pri-
mary mission the training Of
military airlift force for quick use
in event of war.
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg. Air
Chief of Staff, said that MATS in
general would maintain its sched-
ule of overseas flights under the
new provisions and that there
would be no decrease in present
ton-mile capabilities.
However, the basis for all such
flights in the future will be in con-
junction with the training mission
and more air crews will be trained
in the command" the announce
ment said.
Among the changes will be the
discontinuance of feeder transport
service based at air materiel COM
mand depots and some slight over
all reductions in personnel. Other
changes included:
Discontinuance of scheduled
transport service within the United
States except for air evacuation
and such other trunk line cargo
services as may be determined
necessary.
Discontinuance or reduction of
scheduled flights to certain South
American points.
Closing of flight advisory cen
ters in France and Italy.
Maj. Gen. Lawrence S. Kuter.
MATS commander. estimated that
because of additional crews to be
trained and the use of larger
transports a substantial increase
in airlift would become available
to the Defense Department for
use in event of war.

Economy Speeches
WostefuI, Irving
Complains to Rich
By the Asseeiuted Press

Representative Rich, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania was fab
bergasted yesterday by the
accusation that he has been vast
ing the taxpayers money.
Mr.. Rich, who has been lectur-
ing Congress on economy for 20
years, stood with mouth open in
astonishment as Representative
Irving, Democrat, of Missouri told
him his almost daily speeches
have wasted the time of the House
and the cost of printing the
speeches in the Congressional
Record has wasted the Govern
ment's money.
Mr.. Irving also reminded Mr..
Rich Of the numerous editorials
and other printed matter he in
serts in the appendix of the
Congressional Record.
Mr.. Rich-who is identified with
such oft-repeated phrases as
Where are you going to get the
money!" BE wise. economic;
BE thrifty in 1ifty"-took it all
good-naturedly, including the
laughter and facetious applause of
the House.

surprised everybody - even the
sponsors of the economy amend
ments. During the last four weeks,
when the 1851 appropriations bill
has been up for consideration, the
House time and again rejected
economy amendments.
Things changed completely,
however. when the House yester-
day began its final day on the
omnibus appropriations bill. Repre-
sentatives Taber and Thomas had
comparatively easy sailing in
getting their amendments through.
House Majority Leader Nc
Corraack vainly pleaded with the
House to reject the amendments.
Mr.. Mccormack asserted the cuts
would have serious repercus-
sions," because they would "dras-
tically curtail" essential Govern
ment functions.
Party Lines Broken.
His plea fell on deaf ears.
Democrats joined with Repub-
licans in voting for the amend
ments. The final roll call vote in
favor of the Taber Thomas
amendment was 274 to 112. The
roll call vote in favor of the Jen-
sen amendment was 20l to 1875.
There wasn't even one member
in opposition to the amendment
designed to curtail further &C
cumulation of annual leave this
year. The proviso would forbid
agencies from using any Of their
1851 funds to pay cash for un-
used annual leave to employees
who leave the Federal service.
The purpose of the amendment
is to require Government work.
ers to use up their rs days vaca-
ton time this year.
Regarding the employment re-
duction amendments, most Fed
eral officials, as we'll as Congress
men, are of the opinion they over
lap each other.
The Taber- Thomas amendment
would provide for a 10 per cent
cut in military agencies and
a 2 per cent cut in the military
bureaus. This would result in an
estimated reduction of $4,000

Fisher, 5-Percenter,
Gets 80 Days in Jail
For Ignoring Tax
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. May 11.-H. Cor
don Fisher. 52-year- -old Wash
ington "f1ve-percenter," received
a 30-day Jail term today because
he deliberately failed to file an
income tax return for 1946.
Fisher, who had testified before
his conviction last week that he
was BROKE" also was fined 81, 900.
Federal Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut said the fine was without
commitment" This means Fisher
would not have to serve additional
time in default of the payment.
Lived in Hotel Here.
Fisher, identified as one of a
group who sought Government
contracts for others for a five
percent fee. lived for several years
in the Roosevelt Hotel, Washing
ton.
He contended that in spite of
$97 900 a year going through his
bank account, his business ex-
penses were such there was no
net income. Fisher said his living
expenses were covered by his wife's
earnings and by loans from rela-
tives and friends.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Norman P. Ramsey told Judge
Chestnut the Government is hold
ing Fisher liable for large tax.
However, no figure could be an
nounced because the original
estimate might be reduced upon
showing of business expenses
by Fisher.
Kept No Records.
The judge noted that Fisher
kept no books or records-not even
revealing entries on check stubs.
The Government proved Fisher
had received at least $5,953 in
commissions on the purchase of
Water Bar Soap. which he located
in Hawaii for a Maryland firm.
Fisher admitted he had not filed
an income tax for Is years-in
fact, not until after the 1946 case
was instituted.

over each year could be filled.
The resulting 202.500 reduction
would appear TO be more than
enough to take care OF the lS4 900
job cuts called for in the Taoer-
Thomas amendment.
Federal officials say. however.
the problem is more complex than
that. In order to comply with
the Taber proviso, agencies would
have to dismiss some employees
during the early part Of the fiscal
year starting July l. They couldn't
afford to take a chance that the
usual number of job vacancies
would occur to make firings un-
necessary.
With all that. however. most
Government personnel officials
feel the bulk of the contem-
plated 200, 900 dismissals could be
achieved by not filling vacancies.
If agencies are careful. they can
keep actual dismissals to a reason
able minimum. these officials say.
81 Billion Saving.
Sponsors of the two amend
ments said the proviso would effect
a savings of 81 billion a year.
The Jensen proviso exempts the
following positions from the 80
per cent job vacancy filling ban:
Scientific and technical positions
in the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, presidential appointments,
nurses, doctors or other medical
personnel, including orderlies, in
the Public Health Service and the
Veterans Administration; law
enforcement officers, temporary
emergency, seasonal or co-opera-
tive positions; agencies in the
legislative or judicial branches OF
the Government and the Dis
trict government.

sides applying the 10 per cent en-
ployment cut. also would cut Fed
eral agencies travel expenses by
1919 million, communications serv-
ices by $50 million and printing
expenses by $50 million.
In another action on the House
money bill, the House approved
the rider giving the Commerce
and State Departments the right
to fire summarily any employe "in
the interest of the United States. "
Sponsors of the proviso said 1t
would enable State and Commerce
to get rid of bad security risks,
including sex perverts.
