Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL

How Do You Look? It's clean
up time! Have you taken inventory
of your beauty assets recently?
Beauty is every woman's most
valued possession.
Suppose we check to see just
what we have in the way of good
looks. You must have noticed all
too often an otherwise pretty face
married by each part-appearing
foreign to the other-a natured
happening unless we treat the en-
tire area the same
When you apply cold cream to
your face don't forget the chin, the
throat and the neck. They too, must
show that they are part of you.
Give bit of attention to your ell
bows, they are not stubborn little
things, and will yield to kind treat
ment. Scrub them morning and
night with your hand brush, using
mild soap and warm water. Never
wash elbows in hot water unless
you want them to look red and
chapped. Massage them with a
good lubricating cream. Use a
bleach. Lemon juice is excellent.
You may cut a lemon in half and
rub it directly on the elbows. AL
ternate every other night with the
lubricating cream and the bleach
ing agent. The bleaching effect is
lost of mixed with the creams. AT
ter the day time scrubbing, apply
bit of your favorite hand lotion.
While we're about it, let's take
a look-see at the hands. Here we
encounter more joints 1.-THE knu-
ckles), but treatment used for ell
bows works equally well on the
hands, with the addition of several
scrubbings during the day, plus an
application of hand lotion after
each scrubbing.
If time is crowding you, the
weekly professional manicure is
out, but with little forethought
and care we can keep our hands
attractive.
If you have problems on Beauty
and Clothes, enclose self-address-
ed, stamped envelope to Bessie +.

10 Baker Cancels
NAACP Program
In Atlanta

NEW TORk, June 1S.-Demed
first-class hotel accommodations
in Atlanta, Josephine Baker, world
famous entertainer, has cancelled
her proposed appearance in that
city at the 42nd annual convention
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, Walter White, NAACP ex-
ecutive secretary, announced to-
day.
Miss Baker last month accepted
the invitation of the Atlanta
branch to give benefit perform
ance in that city, on June 80, on
condition that she and her party
be housed in a first-class hotel,
that there be no segregation in
the audience, and that mixed or
chestra participate in the enter
tainment. Arrangements were
made for a mixed band. There
is never audience segregation at
any NAACP meeting.
On May 25, Mr.. White wired the
three leading hotels in Atlanta
the Henry Grady, the Biltmore and
the Georgian Terrace asking for
reservations, June 80 to July 2, for
Miss Baker and her party of nine,
consisting of Negroes and whites,
citizens and foreigners. The Bilt-
more replied that it was booked to
capacity; the others said they
could not accept the reservations.
Meanwhile in Atlanta commit
tee for the branch unsuccessfully
sought a conference with the nan
agements of the hotels in an eff
fort to have them abandon their
long standing policy of excluding
Negro guests.
State Department Aid Asked
Anticipating the reaction of the
Atlanta hotels, Mr.. White sought
/ the Intervention of the State De-
partment. In wire to Dean Ach-
eson, Secretary of State, he
warned: Refusal of such accom-
modations to SO distinguished and
famous an artist will create, as you
know, a most unfortunate inter-
national incident. Request that
U. S. government through Depart
ment of State take whatever steps
are necessary to insure non-dis-
elimination both against those
members of the party who are
American citizens and the three
who are citizens of France"
Following receipt of the rejec-
tons, Mr.. White again wired Mr..
Acheson expressing fear that
"critics and enemies of America
will use this as basis for attack
on the United States" The MA
ACP secretary proposed taking a
representative c o m m ttee to
Washington to talk with State De-
partment officials about possible
means of getting the hotels to re-
verse their decisions. Later, Mr..
White was informed by State
Department spokesman that the
Department is without authority
to intervene, except in an advis-
DRY capacity.
