Lilerary Column
What does Easter mean to you
Stately church with cushioned pew,
Where, Lenten season gone at last
And days of self-denial past,
Richly-clad, devoted throngs
Of worshipers unite in songs
Of praise in lily-scented air?
Is this what makes your Easter fair
Does it mean the end of winter’s reign,
Bright skies and welcome warmth again,
Singing of the birds, budding of the trees,
Sweet spring odors on the breeze
From daffodil and crocus bed
And balsam branches overhead?
Sad is the world and cold and gray
If this is all of Easter Day.
But if this blessed season brings,
A firmer faith in holy things;
Assurance of a living Lord;
A strengthening of the tender chord
Of love that binds us to the life to come
Where loved ones ’wait us in the heavenly home,
No pain or loss can e'er efface the bliss,
Dear friend of Easter, when it means all this.
—May Ricker Conard

Problems in Make up
We square face should select
the type of make up that will de
tract the width of the jaw line,
and accent height and width at
right angles. The hair is dressed
with height at the center front, I
while the width at each side is
at right angles from the eye
brow line. Hair dressed softly
on top will prevent the mascu
line appearance so often associ
ated with the square featured
woman.
Place cheek rouge in a circle
under the eye and shade it to
ward the ear and jaw line. Ap
ply a dark foundati oncream and
powder to the square jaw and
gradually blend in a lighter shade
for the rest of the face. Arch
the eyebrows slightly. Apply
lip rouge in a graceful curve to
the lip line, and make the mouth
slightly wide.

BIG BASEBALL MEN
CHALENGING RICKEY
There are big men in baseball
who are fighting Rickey tooth
and nail in his efforts to promote
Robinson to the majors. The cur
rent battle between Rickey and
Larry MacPhail, for instance is
not just an ordinary brawl, nor
is it simply because MacPhail
allegedly sat with two well
known gamblers during an ex
hibition game here between
Brooklyn and the Yanks. It is
no secret in the major league
front offices across the country
that MacPhail is against the
Rickey-Robinson plan. MacPhail
who makes thousands of dollars
off Negro baseball each year, and
whose club is well patronized by
the forgiving people of Harlem,
can’t stomach the thought of the
lily-white color-line in baseball
being broken—That is one of the
reasons he’s at swords ends with
Rickey right now. He’d like to
get the Brooklyn owner heaved
out of baseball if possible. And
not only that—but he has a lot
of colleagues in the majors going
along with him.
MacPhail is the leader of the
faction that objects to turning
the “Great American Game” into
just that... He is big and power
ful in baseball and capable of
leading such a vicious group ...
Not only does he have certain
high executives in baseball “go
ing along with him” but also
many of the influential writers
of what Americans like to call
“our free and liberal press”...
Yes, there are newspaper men,
baseball officials and even um
pires who would like to see
Rickey’s plans for Robinson go
asunder.
