New Orleans, Dec. 14, (ANP)—
Citizens hero joined with the
members and official family of
the St. Mark Fourth Baptist
church here last week in the
celebration of the 81st annivers
ary of the church. One week was
consumed in commemorating the
anniversary of this historic insti
tution which has had so much to
do with the religious and civic life
and advancement in this city.
Choirs from every Negro church
in the city aided in the musical
programs during the week of
celebration, while pastors of va
rious denominations participated
in the public meetings, at which
the history of the church was
cited.
A unique feature of the history
of the St. Mark Fourth Baptist
church is that during the 81 years
of its existence there have been
only five pastors and each served
until death removed him. There
has been no upheavals or trouble
among the membership, according
to Dr. F. G. Thomas the present
pastor. “Harmony” he said, "has
been the guiding force in our
ranks.”

Brownskin Envy
Of World Says
Hollywood Expert
Hollywood, Cal., Dec. 14.—
Every so often Hollywood has
amazingly lucid moments.
“I predict that by 1940 sun tan
skin will be the rule rather than
tho exception, was a remark made
recently by Jack Dawn, head of
the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer make
up department.
Going over a series of photo
graphs of dark skinned women,
Dawn mused further that in a few
years hence society will find little
room for what is now known as
the “hothouse flower.”
•Women have never fully real
ized how becoming sun-tan com
plexions can be. They are as flat
tering to blondes as they are to
brunettes,” he continued, evident
ly unaware that he was describ
ing most vividly the natural sun
tan of colored women.
“The sun-tan complexions might
well be the envy of the feminine
population of the rest of the
world” was the final opinion of
filmland’s most expert maker

Jones, acknowledged master

HEALTH, BEAUTY
AND CHARM
Keep Young and Beautiful—

(Blackheads Continued)
In our last week’s article we
told you if you have blackheads
your face is dirty! No one likes
to be called dirty face. In this
article we are going to help you
get rid of blackheads.
Whatever cleansing method you
may have been using in the past,
if It has not rid your face of
blackheads, then the method is all
wrong.
There are still a few women
who cling to the old soap and wa
ter method of cleansing the face.
These women are the women who,
at an early age show wrinkles.
Soap has a tendency to dry up the
natural oils in the skin. If you
feel that you must use soap to
properly cleanse your face—well
do so. But use it sparingly, once
or twice a week, followed first,
by a good warm water rinse
(never hot water) then a cold
water rinse, always apply cream,
to the face after using soap.
Soap, however, removes only
the surface dirt. To properly
cleanse the face you should use a
good face cream. A face cream
that is penetrating and healing,
one that smooths on easily, that
does not have to be rubbed in and
that melts the instant it touches
the skin.
Beware of creams that must be
massage d into the skin. Too much
massaging breaks down the fine
delicate tissues and causes the
muscles of the face to -sag.
A good cream cleans the pores
to the bottom so that they can
breathe the fresh air which stimu- I
l.it.r the circulation and keeps
the skin alive and radiant.
We have such a cream. It is
(■ ’led th neach Bud ClcanHr.tr
Cream. With this cream you need
no astring ni to close the pores,
neither do you need a vanishing
cream or powder base. You will
find that the powder clings per
fectly to your face.

Ban Accomodations
Ordinarily a definite agree

in Montreal the group chose
Washingon and appointed a
committee to make all arrange
ments with capital hotels. When
this committee, of which T.
Arnold llill was the Negro
member, met with hotel repre
sentatives it was told there
would be no discrimination of
any kind at the meetings of the
conference, but no assurance
could be given that Negroes
would be either housed or fed
in public dining rooms.
It will cost the conference an
estimated $10,000 to change
emetings sites. Capital busi
nesses, however, will lose many
times that sum. As the Atlantic
City social workers had not an
ticipated any change, no plans
Were laid for program and en

ranging from 2 to 85 years, ex
cept for the Scottsboro boys, who
despite the fact that they have
spent almost five years behind
prison bars, have not yet been

liefs, terror against the Negro
people is not confined to the
South alone. The 25 Negro long
i term prisoners are scattered
through 10 states only two of
which are southern.
Every month since the jail
doors closed behind them these
prisoners have received a regular
j relief check from the Prisoners
