no one in particular but every
one in general. Now, how about
it guys and gals, lets get behind
the publicity committee and help
them get this column across.
There has been several in
quiries about our insurance and
pension program, honest folks,
just the minute there is some
thing definite on these two sub
jectS we will do our level best
to pass the information on to
you.
Incidentally a very good place
TO ask your questions and get
authentic answers is at your
Unit meetings. So how about see
ing you there and answering
your questions on the floor, so
everyone will have as much in
formation as possible on the in
surance and pension plans. While
we think of it, that Unit meeting
is Nov 7.
We have heard quite a lot of
taboo about the new type ballot
to be used i'm this election, you
know folks, this ballot is really
nothing new to anyone who has
voted i'm one of our unit or local
elections. you merely put your
X in front of the candidate you
wish to vote for, simple isn't it?
Naturally it will take longer to
vote and therein lies another of
the things the Taftites hope will
be in their favor, by believing a
lot of us unionists will be tired
of waiting at the voting booth
to take advantage of one of our
American heritages, the right
to vote for a candidate of our
own choosing.
There happens to be another
thing about this ballot you might
be interested In, the fact that
they call it an "office type bal
lot" apparently believing that
only office workers are intelli-
gent enough to use. That is an
insult to every worker in the
shop, SO how about getting out
and showing the Taftites that
we of the labor movement know
how to use their scare ballot for
the best advantage of our own
labor candidates by defeating
Robert Alfonso Taft and elect
ing Joe Ferguson and by sending
Tom Burke back to an office he
has used to the best advantage
for you and |.

What fellow was bothered

THINGS THAT INTEREST WOMEN

HOW 20 you LooKs

Of choice whether yours be
tinted or unlimited. It can be pur-
chased in liquid, stick, cream OF
cake form.
When the features are not per-
fectly proportionsd, use two
shades of powder base or founda-
ton cream. Large features can be
minimized BY use of the darker
shade and highlight small parts
with lighter shades. See that the
two are subtly and carefully
blended,
II your nose is too long apply
darker foundation to the tip. Wide
nostrils will look slender when a
darker base or foundation is used
along the lobes and sides of each
nostril. A too short nose will APP
pear longer if you draw a line
with light base from the ridge
down to the tip, These are all
good makeup tricks. Next time
we will make eyes.
