I am friendly and jolly and men like to talk to me, but I’ve been true to my husband. He is very jeaous and he accuses me of doing wrong things. He is always spying on me, too. Sometimes I’m tempted to do bad things just to spite him. Would that be so wrong when he is so unfair? What do you t..hink of my case? An swer soon.—Mrs. D. W. Mrs I) W : Only a few woods will be required to tell you what I think of your case Remember that “two wrongs do not make one right.” A woman is a fool to degrade herself because a man is mean anti unfair. Then, Mrs. 1). W ., in II of my ex perience, I have never known a women to attempt to spite in this way and fail to spite herself more than her husband. My advice is that you will stick to the right and hope for a better day.-—Maxie Miller. -G ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS On August 28th the state of Cali fornia produced some of the most startling political nows of the decade. The voters nominated Upton Sin clair, life-long Socialist, for Governor or the Democratic Ticket.. tin ad dition, they nominated him by a tre mendous majority over his nearest rival, who ran as a straight New Deal advocate, and his vote was well in excess of that of the Republican candidate acting Governor Merriam If Mr. Sinclair wins in November it ' will be the first time an avowed So cialist ever reached a high govern mental position in this country, with the single exception of the late Vic tor Berger As was to be expected, this unpre cedented happening has aroused na tion wire comment.. Those who be lieve in Mr.. Sinclair’s principles state ; jubilantly that his success means the j definite beginning of a swing to the j left—that it is only a matter of time j before believes in socialism will sit i in all the seats of the mighty Those | who oppose him tend to the opinion that the voters of California have gone temporarily insane- Neither of these views, to an unprejudiced ob server, is convincing. Mr- Sinclair, whether you like his economic dicta or not, is a man of unquestioned probity, and absolute, almost fanatical sincerity—and Chose are two main reasons for his nomi nation- Citizens of California have grown weary of machine politics the state has been plunged steadily Into debt, and many taxpayers think, rightly or wrongly, that they have little to show for much of the money «■.

Detailed plans were presented for democratic conduct ..of the prisoners’ affairs and for self" dis" ciplin4g during the strike. — - -. ■ ■ - 1 spent. As a result, thousands of peo ple who do not favor Socialism cast their votes for Sinclair because he is against all existing political ma chines and apparently has no politic al connections or obligations. The Sinclair program is about as “promising” as anyone eould Imagine High lights are: Heavy taxes on large inheritances and incomes over $5,000. pensions for the sick, unem ployed and aged. Sinclair campaign motto goes by the initials E P £ C, meaning “End Poverty in California-” It is a noteworthy fact that Mr.. Sin i clair financed his campaign by charg ing admission to his speeches—and ha packed the voters in while other; candidates, wha charged nothing, ad dressed half-empty halls- This is largely due to the fact that he is a brilliant and experienced speaker and a convincing writer. Some literary j critics of distinction, here and abroad, . regard his as the foremost living i American novelist. f President Roosevelt at once made an appointment with Mr. Sinclair— observers believe he will attempt to tone down some of Mr.. Sinclair’s; “wildness.” If he is elected—and his chance of that depends upon how De : mocratlc voters who supported other and more conservative candidates he is able to hold—it is likely to prove somewhat embarrassing to the Demo cratic party by putting a genuine So cialist high In its councils i Thus, eyes in all parts of the na tion wfll be trained on Californiaj next November. And between new and then, the state will witness one | cf the bitterest campaign battles in \ its history. No two men could stand farther apart than Mr. Sinclair and Mr.. Merriam, who recently popula rized himself greatly by hip decisive action in the San Francisco strike situation—such a wide difference, is what makes fii’st class political wars.. —OoO— A great deal can happen in a year { —and high government officials, tex- | tile employers and textile workers are realizing the bitter truth of that j now. A little over a year ago, on July ! 1. The first NRA code went into effect This was the textile code, held to be a model of its kind. It outlaws child labor, cut working hours and raised wages, improved working con ditions. Spokesmen for the NRA and the industry made speeches and statements, said that the code mark ed a great step fonvard in social and economic evolution.. Teday, the textile mills are silent save for a few in the south, and there are no hands to guide the looms- Al most 5.000,000 workers have left their jobs, and the greatest strike in American history has begun. Neith er side shows signs of giving quar ter, both are digging in for a long, unhappy battle- Last hope for early settlement collapsed when final des perate efforts of the government’s labor board failed. The workers de mand still shorter hours, without wage reduction, plus a closed shop and further complications lie in the threat of sympathetic strikes within other major industries—and that is the stuff of which a national general1 strike might be made- Heads of the textile union announce that financial contributions are flowing in from all branches of labor, that they will have a war-chest adequate to pursue the strike to what they hope will be a successful outcome. However, the nation’s purchasing .power will be re duced by about $7,000,000 a week as long as the strike is in effect—and everyone will feel the ill effects The whole future ef the NRA and, more important still, of employer— -T ' *- J . t, «. - VI -M « - U. T. W. PROTESTS USE OF NATIONAL GUARD By Federated Press WASHINGTON—(FP*—Faced with a growing list of dead and wounded textile strikers* officials of the Unit ed Textile Workers in Washington denounced the use of the National Guard to break the strike- But at the same time they asked the send ing of federal troops into the areas The National Guard, while it’s sub ject to call by state governors, is paid for by he federal government and comes under the technical supervis vision of the War Dept. The eall by union leaders ?■; federal troops therefore occassioned some surprise is Washington, particularly in view of the fact that the armed forces (whether directly unrer the supervis ion of the fereral government or in directly subject to its influence as in the case of the National Guard) have repeatedly been used to break strikes but never to take the workers’ side against the employers “Reports coming in from the mill centers of southern states tell of in creasing use of the National Guard units, under direction of governors oi the states, to break this strike,” said Chairman Francis J. Gorman of the U T W strike committee. “These units are being used against the strik ers and in behalf of the mill owners. “In the face of this action, we pro pose to ask the federal government to use Its military forces wherever it may be necessary for the protection of textile workrs who in this strike have acted within their rights under the law. ” While President Roosevelt’s board meditation was start’g work in Wash ington on Sept.. 7, conferring with employers and union leaders in an ef fort to stop the strike, reports reach wa:. now put at 5,000,000, with the strike still spreading with increasirg momentum.. The number striking was now put at 5000,000, with no strike call yet issued to rayon, syn thetic yarn, dyeing and hosiery work ers in union shops, for whom a walk out might impend at any' moment. An official statement by the strike committee on Sept. 6, that “other international unions may call their members out in support of our strike” led to speculation as to the spreading of the general strike to other industries, which was definitely discounted at American Federation of Labor headquarters, however.. On Sept. 7, Gorman issued the following statement on the question on behalf of the strike committee: “Talk of a general strike, magnified in newspaper reports, applies only to the textile industry. Our quarrel is with the textile industry alone, and with no5 other.. It is not within our province to interfere in any way with with other international unions, and •I wish to correct any impression that may have arisen that there is a dis ^QUIV RING N ERVE5 When you are just on edge t , , when you can’t stand the children’s noise ... when everything you .do is a burden ... when you are irri table and blue ;.. try Lydia E.

I am unable to arrive at definite conclus ions after reading some of their let ters. This necessitates superflous correspondence and a delayed answer. In writing to me, I ask that my read ers be speciifc as regards their weight height, color of their eyes, hair, ex act color of their skin, etc. our' cor respondence is treated strictly confi dential. You may feel free to write anything you wish. Even those that do not request a personal response will find that only their initials and the name of thqir town are used in this column. Artistic makeup is simply a matter of taking inifnite pains in using each type of cosmetic. There is nothing j so easy to do badly as makeup. Ev-1 ery woman should take “time out” | for serious study of her makeup prob-1 lems; the proper application of rouge, its most appropriate texture for her personal needs; the proper method of using the eyebrow pencil, etc. There are a lot of tricks you can do with rouge when you get right down to business with your mirror and time for experimentation. The old trick of pinching the cheeks for the natural color and then getting rouge that shade still stands as good as any col or choice. However, we can always lehrn something from the Other fellow. For the past fortnight I have been giving instruction# to a yonng lady who has been singing over the radio for the past ten months with no little success. Her manager and press a gent having secured a contract on R. K. O. circuit (which includes Broad way) decided that she would need a j bit of instruction in makeup before she faced the big Kleig lights, Q3ven though she is a beautiful girl, withott the proper makeup she would! look like a sick child under those bright h\rh*s. 4) Apparently she knew no more than any other girl in her teens as regards makeup. This same young lady taught me something I did no j know about selecting rouge. Pricking ■ the end of her index finger she se cured a drop of blood. Placing the blood on a piece of paper she selected a rouge to match its color. After witnessing the demonstration I was forced to admit that I was as near perfect as I had ever seen. To be truthful, her selection seemed to stimulate natural glow. Lipstick and rouge give color to your day. There is a general rule that may be observed hut need not be fol lowed to the letter. Let the rouge follow the cheekbone up as far as the temple and inward no nearer the nose than a point parallel with the pupil of the eye. Your face may call for the mid-cheek and further down to keep it out and away from the nose that the general rule was consituted. I offer as a suggesion that you take an hour off just for rouge practice.. Have your removal cream (cleansing cream is all that is necessary), your nice clean tissue remover and settle down for a good hour’s study. Try the rouge back and farther back to ward the hair line, up along the cheek bone, up over the temple, back toward the cheek edge, high up. Wipe it1 clean and begin again, just patting dabs on no bigger thaa would come off a lipstick tip, then mold and mold the coloring into the skin until you gat what looks like a really natural finish.

I have recommended that every wo man take "time out” for serious study of her make-up problems: the proper application of rouge, its most appropri ate texture for her needs: the proper me thod of using the eyebrow pencil. Cos metics should be used tlo stimuli! natural glow and it takes effort to discover the correct method. Of cou rse you want to be a dazzling, intrigu ing creature in your new Pall evening gwvn! If you are married you want your husband to feel proud of your beauty and charming personality. If you are single you want to give Mr. j Best Beau a lasting memory of you as: you were in the! Autumn of 1934-ex-' quisitely gowrned, immaculately groom-i ed and youthfully handsome! You want him to think about you, after! he leaves you, and wonder what made you so desirable on that particular j night. I know you do, and I’ll tell you how' to do it Spend hours, if necessary, on your! grooming before you slip into that new evening gown Dress up to it. See that your body is thoroughly cleansed, your skin soft and free of ugly hairs. Kemember that your back and arms are under observation aa well as your face. The application of creams should not be restricted to the face and neck. Have your toenails as jeweled-tilee as your fingernails. Your teeth must sparkle and your hair must be a halo of feminine lovileness-. Make-up carefully. . With subtle shading make your eyes deeper and mure mysterious. Draw a fascinating lipline and be sure your face, neck, ‘ shoulders and back are of even skin-1 tone. C'rsams and powders will takej care of that, that is, if you have the proper cream for your skin and if your powder is not of the ten cent store sterotype grade. Every woman can not use the same blend of powder. Nine times out of ten, identical twin sisters need different blends of powder different perfumes to individualize each personality. Uppermost society women of the far Harbor grade glamorous stars of the cinema, and the elite of Broad way enhance their charm with individu ality. If you have been folowing tlhese articles regularly you are looking for ward to more information about “care ful rhake-up.’'! We have taken up powders and rouge, now let’s give a little theught to the eyes. In caring such a hardened look to the face. Fol low the natural curve fo the brows and pluck out the unruly hairs and then brush, first against- the hairs and then brush smoothly back into place. There is a tiny brush for this purpose. If tinting will improve your eyebrows use mascara or an eyebrow pencil, u»d if they stop rather abruptly you may continue them with the eye pencil, but let it be very delicately. Eye shadow should be put on lightly, aiong the lower Part of the lid and blended uje ward and out to the edge. .It must be done evenly to achieve softness, fsjt •• the mascara you use match your lash es. Either liquid or paste form may be used. Apply carefully, brushing the upper lashes upward and the lower lushes downward. Eyes need never look tired or old with excellent eye baths and lotions avbailable, which relieve strain. All eye make-up is of no avail if the eyes themselves are not tested and fresh looking. An hour of study in the means of application of eye cosmetics is well worthwhile.
