JOBLESS POLICIES TO SWAY VOTE STAND OF U. S. WOMEN

Poll Shows Work Tops All Issues Women voters throughout the country will cast their votes in the next election mainly on a basis ot the attitudes which the two rival parties take on the problem of unemployment, according to a national symposium of opinion gathered from women leaders by Anna Steese Richardson, political editor of the Woman's Home Companion. Women consulted in this survey mostly are heads of national organizations or federations, and thus speak for a membership of 12,650,000 American women. Unemployment comes first in the list of outstanding issues with 80 per cent of the members of this representative jury. Several cf the jurywomen refused to consider any other issue as worth mentioning. Those that suggested secondary issues indicated their relative importance, after unemployment, as follows: World peace, tariffs, foreign debts, prohibition and child health. Ida Tarbell differed from most of her colleagues on the political ,iury, in giving first place to the - tariff question, rather than to un- j employment. "I limit myself,” she j replied, “to the issue which, in my J judgment, stands high above all j others at the present moment. Trade Channels Clogged It is: Cutting down trade barriers between the nations of the world. As I look at it, the channels of world trade are clogged by tariffs. It is idle to talk about genuine prosperity until trade can flow freely according tc the needs and desires of men." Lena Madison Phillips, president of the National Council of Women, supported Miss Tarbell, declaring. “The outstanding campaign issues will be those in which our relations with other nations arc involved—the tariff and the World court. Upon them depend the future of ; civilization and the welfare of the , American family pocketbook. But all the other members of the jury regarded unemployment as the principal issue. Ruth Bryan Owen, for instance, suggested: “To have men anxious ( to work and yet. be without employment, while on the other hand l money which should be in circulation is being hoarded, is a situa- j tion which is wrong.” Congressman Ruth Pratt agreed > with her in the following emphatic words: "Unemployment is a problem ; of vital national interest. It is a subject to be worked out through j some permanent policy. It requires the co-operation of capital and labor, employer and employe, to preclude the possibility of such a, distressing situation as that with j which we are confronted today. Even More Outspoken Mary Anderson, director of the woman’s bureau in the department \ of labor, was even more outspoken.; “To me,” she said, “the great issue , in the coming election must be the ; remedies for unemployment. There j is nothing so important, and the ; platform of the contesting parties should contain real remedies for the situation as it exists today.” Mrs. Ellis A. Yost, director of the women's division of the Republican party, suggested three important issues—unemployment, world peace, and child welfare. Belle Sherwin, president of the National League of Women Voters, gave first place to unemployment and insisted on the importance of women studying! economics before they decide how to j vote. “The problems of unemployment: and world-wide depression,” she; said, “create an obligation on the part of women voters to share more constructively in well-considered J forward-looking legislation and to seek persistently an understanding of the economic ills that ail the world.” Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt places unemployment first among the important campaign issues, but thinks it is largely a matter for local and state governments. She gives second place to prohibition, and third place to international questions. Bad Color If your fine stockings that had a pleasant dust tone when new have grown purply or green, try using a very little bit of brown coloring in (he rinse water. Not much, but a little bit is apt to restore the right shade.

Coat of Tweed Adds to Costume Smartness

BY JOAN SAVOY NEA Service Writer IF you are cruising about for a travel coat for warmer climes, or if you are interested in a coat now that will topnotch others for smartness when spring comes, let your eyes wander from the straight designs. The diagonals get the smart vote for new tweed coatings and suitings, and the wide diagonals, with a lace or nubbed space between the lines, are the newest and smartest. Some feature a couple of colors, others three, such as the new blues might feature navy and brighter blues or the greens three varying tones of the color. Geranium pinks and the tangerine shades are to be seen in the Southland, which means they will be with us all by springtime. These new diagonals are per-

WHAT’S IN FASHION? Youth-Restoring Makeup —Directed By AMOS PARRISH

YORK, Dec. 23—Just lN about now you're probably saying—“ Christmas shopping has wrecked me. I’m exhausted!” And though we don't like to be a crape hanger, chances are if you feel that way. you look it! Christmas shopping is hard on the face as well as the feet. But there's worse ahead, maybe. Colder winds . . . sleet (if you live in northern parts' . . . .sudden changes of temperature . . . more smoke and soot in the air—no matter where you are. It’s fashionable to look young, j but winter is no respecter of faces or such fashions. To keep your skin fashionable you have to fight winter every step of the way. First of all your skin will need more thorough cleansing. Because in winter you haven’t even the natural action of perspiration to help flush the pores. Soap and water aren't enough, either. And the best proof of that is to try it. Scrub your face as hard as you like with your favorite soap and Personals Mrs. Anna M.

notice how much dirt comes off on the cloth. Then apply cleansing cream generously and remove with cleansing tissues. We’ll wager you’ll be ashamed of the color of that tissue, though you thought your face was clean! Then moisten a bit of absorbent cotten in one of the liquid cleaners and go over the face again. Still you'll find dirt coming off on the cotton. But cleansing the skin isn’t all. It needs nourishing creams to put back into it the oils that the wind drys out;.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

A smart coat that anybody going South would yearn for is made of one of these diagonals that has three colors. The stripe is made of a very dark and a lighter, livelier brown and the lacy space in between is

And those creams protect against chapping, too, and that ugly, reddened, roughened look. Even your make-up needs more care. Amos Parrish has prepared some information on winter make-up that he’ll send you free if you write him care of The Times Fashon Bureau, 500 Fifth avenue, New York.

the new string shade which is a perfectly lovely delicate beige. The coat uses the material to the best advantage, using the stripe for the most decorative effect. The wide-shouldered effect uses it one way, including the sleeves in this section of the coat, and the hip yoke runs its stripes the same way. The body of the coat above the waistline and the flared section below the hips uses the stripes in the opposite direction, which gives a very rich effect. Most novel of all is the charming scarf collar which stands up at the back of the neck, in a modish military manner, then folds down, crosses and fastens with a big button in the back. Worn with brown accessories, the coat is ravishing.

Corpse Club's Annual Dance Slated Tonight Black anc. w'hite enhanced by Skeletons will be the motif of the Corpse Club membership dance at Woodstock club at 10 tonight. Speed Webbs orchestra from Cincinnati will play. Officers of the club in charge of arrangements are Irving Lemaux, president; George Home, treasurer, and Thomas Hudgins, secretary. Active membership includes: Joseph Miner, John Appel, Homer Lathrop, Jack Eberly, John Watson, George Snyder, George Torrence, Dan Morse, Billy McMurtrie, Edward Donnell, William Hamerstadt, Ernest Barrett, Allen Carroll, Felix Geddes and Leland Huey.

HOROSCOPE HANKIES MAKE GOOD GIFTS An amusing and novel birthday gift would be one of the new horoscope handkerchiefs. They’re of white linen printed in colors with the sign of the zodiac for the month and a brief analysis of character. Be sure the color you choose Is one that harmonizes with the costume colors of the recipient. IMPORT AFRICA INTO ROOM COLOR SCHEME If you're not going to the Mediterranean this winter, you can at least get an African atmosphere into your winter sun room. African colors—or French Colonial colors, if you prefer to call them that—are all the fashion in these rooms. Dark brown, red orange, yellow and yellow-green are rich, vibrant and warm looking. WHITE CHIFFON FOR EVENING HANKIES If you’re finding it difficult to match the color of your new evening gown with a handkerchief, choose white chiffon instead. Have it very large and it will be just as smart and much newer than the handkerchief that matches. Sandal Stockings For the top-less sandals there are many kinds of new sandal stockings on the market that are sheer as the air, have no seams that show and no double toes to mar the effect of the sandals. Yule Party Tonight Sigma Sigma Kappa sorority will hold its annual Christmas party tonight at the home of Mrs. Beldon Montgomery, 2423 East Twelfth street.

MAN Ntl\5 IN °MOIULS Bv Jan£ Jordan

TELL your secret story to Jane Jordan. She will answer your letter in this column, or write to you personally if you send a stamp. The more letters she gets, the better she likes it! Dear Jane Jordan—Here's my siorv— I’ve been goin? with a boy for almost three years. I'm 19 now. He'll soon be 20. Alter all this time, we still think as much of each other as we did when we started The onlv thing is. he hasn't a job and can't get one! But he's going to school next semester and try to make something out of himself. He earns money on the side through athletics. My mother never haj been content that 1 should go with him lately. She wants me to go out with a lot of different fellows and have a good time and get somebody with a "job.” I am perfectly content. I go every place I want to go, dances, shows, out of town. etc. I've had other dates, but 1 don't like to go out with a lot of different boys I know what I want, but mother thinks t don't. She has put into my mind that some day he'll leave me for somebody else and then where will I be . . . Just another faded flower. • I'm considered attractive, cute, and a good dresser. But I think I can have my good time goins with one fellow. What do you think? BLUE EYES DEAR BLUE EYES—Your mother may be right. Blue Eyes. Smart women do not put all their eggs in one basket; particularly if the basket appears to be a somewhat w r eak receptacle. Your mother sees farther than you do in this matter. She knows that. i£ a successful up and coming young man with a responsible job stepped into the picture, he probably could take you away from your childhood sweetheart with one hand tied behind him! She means well, and has your interests at heart, but she is going about things in the wrong way, as parents so frequently do. The more opposition she shows to the young man, the closer you will cling to him! She is making a martyr out of him, and how we women do go in for martyrs'! Little by little she is driving you to the very thing she wishes to avoid! If only she would not antagonize you by criticising your young sweetheart, she could do so much more with you! Isn't this true? Now I'll tell you what to do. 'Get back of that young man and put some ambition into him. Make him show your mother thft she is wrong about him! After all, he is only 20 and it's too soon to judge him. Economic conditions are so difficult right now that experienced business men have gone down to defeat; so we won't be too hard on a youngster of 20. If he can’t get a job. let him go to school and prepare himself for business when it does open up!

, Watch him carefully and critically and if he doesn't come up to the imark and show some jnterext, and ! ambition in his school work, look around for his superior! At 19 it is a little soon to bo talking about "faded flowers" . . . You can afford to give c j chance. Even so, I wouldn't make | things too easy for him by seeing j him exclusively, when he has nothi ing to offer. I'd be glad to have you write me again and tell me more about the young man. I want to be fair. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 1" and live with my grandparents. They do not allow me to have any company | ot any kind. They won't let me go with fellows and won’t even let me have a nice gill friend. If any girl does happen to come here, they insult her. I have met several nice fellows whom I thought were polite and they have wanted An go with me. I am rather nice ; looking and don't dress badly. Mv father and mother hav been I separated for a loug time and I try to j get them to go back together. I tell them to go back together. I tell them I how old-fashioned my grandparents are. : but thev don't seem to understand. They ; think it. is Just me. Please tell me what to do. I can't ar : to dances or not many shows. So I am | Just A STAY-AT-HOME-GIRL Dear stay-at-home-girl-Your parents are to blame for this situation and not your grandparents. You can't expect old people to se eye to eye with youth. They have reared their own family and now it is not right for them to be obliged to rear somebody else's. I don't wonder that they’re a bit cranky and have no understanding. If your parents can't live together. why can’t one or the other of them make a home for you where you can have a normal life with normal contacts with other young people? Keep after them to take you away into a happier environment. Os course they’re so troubled and unhappy themselves that it is hard for them to realize that you are the chief sufferer! Appeal to their love for you in the kindest way you can. If these tactics do not succeed in waking them to your loneliness, then the only thing left for you to do is to start preparing yourself to earn your own living. Spend the next few years in hard study and j training for some profession. When j you are economically independent. ! you can make your own life!
