BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF
HARRY L. HOPKINS
Harry L. Hopkins was born in
Siouv City, Iowa, August 17, 1890.
Ho was the fourth of a family of
five children. His father David A.
Hopkins, had come West as a
young man from Maine, his native
State. In South Dakota, David Hop
kins married Ann Pickett, daugh
ter of a homesteading Methodist
family and a school teacher in
Vermillion. They moved to Nebras
ka in 1892, where the father op
erated several small ’ a mess fac
tories; moving subsequently to
Chicago, III., and then, in 1900, to
Grinnell, Iowa, where Harry Hop
kins attended the public schools,
and Grinnell College
Upon graduating from Grinnel in
1912, he found his first job as
counselor at a New Jersey summer
camp for poor children, operated
by the Christadora House social
settlement of New York. Next he
went to tho Association for Im
proving the Condition of the Poor,
the largest of non-sectarian pri
vate charity organization, whero
hi', studies of housing and living
eruditions in New York slums at
tracted wide attention.
In 1915 his experience in admin
istering large scale rcLief opera
tions beg.an when, at the age of
25, he was named executive sec
retary of New York City’s new
(Board of Social Welfare under
Mayor John Parroy Mitch el. His
duties included administration of
the board’s annual budget of $10,
000,000. There were 19,500 families

Southern Division.
In 1922 he returned to-New York
City to become assistant director
for the Association for Improving
tho Conditions of the Poor. In 1924
he became Director of the New
York Tuberculosis Association, la
THE BEAUTY BOX I
By VEITS IE WINSTON of
Northside Beauty Box Kg
“POWDER”
Natural looking make-up of
i course, is the ideal make-up, so in
determining the shade of jwwder,
let the tone of your skin be your
guide. Do not choose a powder that
does not harmonize with your own
coloring, one that is either too
dark or too light, the effect will
bo dco'dely splotchy. When in doubt
as to which shade of powder to
use, make several tests upon your
skin.
I be right method of face pow
der application is important if the
I effect is to be found flattering.
As a rule, in daylight the darker
shades will be found more effective
while lighter tints are more lum
inous and are flattering under the
glow of electric lights which always
gives color a different tone.
Guard against the common bad
practice of placing a great daub of
powder upon th> end of the nose
and t en blending the surplus pow
der over the rest of the face. This
method invariable leaves much
powder on tho nose, emphasizing
and making it appear larger than
it actually is. The application of
powder should begin at the base of
the neck. Work upward in the di
rection of the forehead. The pow
der should be patted on lightly and
allowed to settle for a moment or
so, rather than rubbed into th"
skin with the puff as is so often
done by women and girls, who do
not know how to apply make-up
properly. This ‘scrubbing’ method
only results in a caked, streaky ap
pearance and is very likely to cause
enlarged pore.s
After tho powder has been thor
oughly distributed remove the sur
plus powder flakes from the skins
surface. Use a downward stroke to
finish the powder application be-,
cause the soft down which is found
an everyone’s face grows in that
direction. To brush against the
growth, espeaally when the face I
is powdered, only makes this down
moro noticeable.
Remove the excess flakes of pow
der which have a tendency to cling
to eyebrows, lashes and lids. This
is easily done with a bit of eye
cream or cold cream or vaseline
placed upon one finger. The cream ,
imports glossiness to the brows
and lashes and gives the eyeldds a
moist youthful appearance. Every
woman should exercise this ‘trick”'
every tim eshe powders her face,
to gain greater beauty of the eyes.

ter the New York Tubeirulosis and
Health Association, and built it in- [
to what has been called “one of
the most potent forces in the coun
try for research in preventive me
dicine and the encouragement of
local action” (Fortune Magazine).
It was at this time Hopkin’s
work first attracted the atten
tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt, then
Governor of New York. When the
panic of 1929 started a spiral of
depression, new state efforts to
provide relief became necessary
and in 1931 Hopkins became the
working director of New York
State’s Temporary Emergency Re
lief Administration, under fomer
Ambassador Jesse Isidor Straus.
Governor Roosevelt appointed Hop
kins to .succeed chairman Starus
in 1932.
Through the TERA in New York,
Hopkins administered a $140,#00,
000 program over a period of two
years. The methods then worked
out; for both direct relief and work
relief became the model for the
national relife administration set
up by the Roosevelt Administra
tion
In 1933 President Roosevelt ap
pointed Hopkins Administrator of
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad
ministration. Unemployment had
then reached a height estimated at
j from 13 to 18 million people. Hop
kins built up the FFHA organiza
tion with great rapidity providing
relief in cooperation with the states
to more than four million families.
In the fall of 1933, Hopkins ad
ministered the Civil Works Pro

Builds Her Houses With Crocheting Needles
Mrs. Beasley and Dave Elman
MRS. ALICE BEASLEY of Brook
lyn might well be known as the
world's most unusual architect ac
cording to Dave Elman, dean of
America’s hobbyists.
For Mrs. Beasley, who is assis
tant forelady at a metal specialty
manufacturing company inNewYork
City, doesn’t build her houses of
steel or brick or wood. She cro
chets them.
Explaining tho rearon back of her
unusual craft on a recent "Hobby
Lobby” Wednesday night, NBC
broadcast, she spoke of her dream
of owning her own home. She was
always interested in magazine pic
tuies of homes and ( dates One
v, as especially appealing — Mrs.
Beasley called It her dream house.
She knew that she couldn’t afford
to actually build It, so she did the
next best thing—got out her cro
cheting needle and started work.
Mrs. Beasley's miniature dream
houses—she’s now at work on her
sixth—have two stories. They are
lighted with tiny electric lights, but,
outside of these, everything is cro
cheted. even down to the water in
the tiny tub in {he bathroom The
lawns around them are made of
green wool.
It is the ‘architect’s” fondest
hope that she can save enough
money from the sale of her cro
cheted houses to build an actual
dream home of her own.
Hen and a half, people were set
to work on public projects within
three weeks, the goal of four mil
lion being reached early in Janu
ary. In all States, 180,000 projects
were operated. T.’ie creation of
so vast a structure in so short a
timo was unprecendented.
Tho PWA program was complete
in the spring of 1934, and the
FEA work divis'on took over work
relief on public projects, providing
ft maximum employment of over
2,500,000 people who were taken
almost entirely from the relief
rolls and were paid a security
wage.
Tho great drought of 1934, creat
ing a desperate emergency
throughout a large part of tho Mfd
ulo West, was met by a farm re
habilitation program administered
'by Hopkins. Several hundred thou
sand farm families were furnished
loan8 for subsistence and rehabili
tation. This farm program was
transferred to the Resettlement
Administration and is now carried
on by the Department of Agri
culture. Again, in the 1936 drought
Hopkins established temporary
work projects for a quarter of a
million distressed farmers.
When direct relief was returned
to »the States in 1935, the Works
Progress Administration was set
up to carry on work relief pro
jects, under the administration of
Hopkins. WPA employment has
been given to a maximum of over
three and a quarter million peo
ple. This employment is greater
than that in the coal, steel and
textile industries combined.
Hopkins has been called the larg
est single “employer” in the his
tory of the world Under his ad
ministration the WPA has built
schools, hospitals, and public build
ings of all kinds, constructel roads
bridges, and airports, laid sewers,
and water mains, constructed parks
playgrounds, stadiums and tennis
courts, built dams and carried on
conservation work of all kinds in
cooperation with State, local and
Federal agencies. It has also car
ried on work in public health, edu
cation, i-e«reation. In the field of
the four arts it has conducted or
chestras, written guide books, pro
duced plays and decorated public
buildings with art works. Women
in sewing rooms have made gar
ments for the needy in public in
stitutions and for sufferers from
floods and others emergencies.
