B—4 » COSHETES Th FHT PROWIED Representative lenckes Seeks Repeal of Levies on Luxury Basis. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Protesting against taxing, as a “lux- ury,” cosmetics which “millions of American women need for better health,” Representative Jenckes of Indiana yesterday announced a per- sistent “crusade” against both Fed- eral and State taxes on such commodi- ties in response to appeals from “many organizations of women all over the country.” She intends to appeal to Congress at the opening of the January session, with staggering statistics—either to discontinue the tax or reduce it to a minimum, and to remove cosmetics from the “luxury” classification. Mrs. Jenckes said her interest and knowledge of the subject goes back to her childhood. She is the daugh- ter of a druggist. Her father, James E. Somes was an assayer of drugs in | the U. S. Customs House in New Orleans. A graduate pharmacist of Vincenns University, he established a drug business in 1875 in Terre Haute, Ind., where she was born. She has been fascinated by the development, | through scientific study and pro- fessional treatment of what were then looked upon as luxuries for the leis- | ure class until today they have be- come “actual necessities in the daily lives of American housewives and working women.” Preparations Held Essential. ‘That is actually what happened, she emphasized. “Today such cosmetics as face powder and face cream, lip- sticks and rouge, dentrifice, soaps, shampoos and hair preparations have become as essential to house- | Wives and working girls as hats, shoes and other articles of wearing apparel. | They should not be included under the heading of luxuries and subject to | exorbitant taxation. They are abso- | lute necessities. because our high | standards of living make cleanliness | and a well-groomed appearance im- perative to women'’s self-preservation | in this highly competitive modern world.” And Mrs. Jencks has a highly spe- cialized scientific knowledge of this #ubject—for example, she has studied Ormby’s Treatsie, “Diseases of the 8kin.” and learned of the painful and disfiguring consequences of neglecting sensible care of the skin. She regrets that adver has overemphasized | “beauty” rather than the common- sense use of cosmetics to promote skin health and preservation. She pro- tests that the objective is “more vital to humanity than any appeal to the vanity of the foolish minority of males or fem " She insists that Within the cosmetics industry is “a profession contributing to the solu- tion of such human problems, Which should not have fastened to it the sole appellation ‘luxury.’ " Despondency Often Encountered. Mrs. Jenckes called attention that the lives of hundreds of thousands have been made uncomfortable by cutaneous diseases wholly external, Eometimes resulting from parasitic infections. “Victims of maligant skin diseases,” she explained, “are acute sufferers not only from the direct effect, but from humiliation that leads {frequently to morose despondency.” She points out that “many thousands require ordinary every-day cosmetics in order to hold or secure a position in commerce and industry. The ap- pearance of a rperson is a factor of importance, often determining em- ployment or no employment.” She also speaks for “some 30.000 persons, mostly women, employes of the industry directly engaged in pro- duction.” She speaks in behalf of “other thousands of female sales clerks employed by 100,000 retail mer- chants, who are depending upon con- sumption of cosmetics to keep their Jobs.” She says the suppliers of ma- terials to cosmetic manufacturers give work to not less than 50,000 more citizens in the production of con- tainers, such as bottles, boxes, cans, cartons and packing units, | “In the business sphere such em- phasis has been placed upon personal eppearance,” said Mrs. Jenckes, “that pl of B br M ci la as ta Jamaica, Long Island. * cosmetics have become an indis- | pensable part of the working girl's| equipment. course, te the girl who is seeking em- that the price of cosmetics not | skyrocketed by as luxuries, are. further THE Last Rites at Roadside A passing priest administers the last rites to Berg O’Berg, who was fatally injured when his auto crashed into a pole at —Copyright, A.

By a Staff Correspondent o Ihe Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., July John H. Hamilton, campaign manager for Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee, has been in- vited to attend the Prince Georges County Republican Club's outing at Ford's Beach July 18, Club President Edgar Czarra announced here today. Prompted by posters distributed throughout the county, more than 500 party followers are expected to attend the outing which will reach a climax in the naming of the Re- publican candidate for the vacancy in the State House of Delegates, Resignation of Tingley. Already selected by the party's State Central Committee, the nomi- nee will fill a vacancy created by the recent resignation of Egbert F. Ting- ley, local postmaster. Dr. Thomas L. Latimer, committee head, will an- nounce the candidate’s name. Czarra, elected club president in January, 1935, today predicted “the strongest Republican showing in any election ever held in Prince Georges County.” He pointed out that if the Republicans were victorious, a party representative would be sent “as a wedge” into a solidly Democratic county representation in the Assem- bly. S— Autos Start at 1 P.M. The cavalcade of automobiles bound for the outing will leave the Bladens- burg Peace Cross at 1 pm. Another procession will form at the Upper Marlboro Court House. Designed as a family affair, the outing will feature speeches by State and county party leaders, music, swimming and a bar- | becue. Gov.

First, there was & timid introduction of pale blue and a rather sickly green, it is remembered, and when nobody sald much, men suddenly took to black shirts with ice cream suits. The taste for independence grew rapidly. Startled protests were smoth- ered in gasps as accessories became rainbowish, too. A curious world ap- parently keeps quiet to learn what next. Today's chapter in the fashion story reports that maroon and deep- toned green are rivaling last sea- son’s deep-toned browns and blues for shirt popularity. A gingham finish | also is considered smart, and there are pastels in virtually every color except one. Pink Too Effiminate. “Pink has never been so good,” a haberdasher remarked. “You know, I think it's because pink’s a little effimi- | nate.” Even conventional evening wear is affected by the new fashion trend One shop is dis- playing the latest in tuxedos— Jjacket of a gray, best described as tender, trousers of black, and a maroon bow-tie, whose color is repeated in a maroon carnation for the lapel.

And shirts, ties| and handkerchiefs are stocked in | harmonizing colors and patterns. Magazines have done much to foster the emancipation. A current issue of one popular journal, reporting on beachwear, ad- | mits candidly that “Time was when the sky was the limit in color schemes, | but there’s no limit any more.” And the men are even coining new words. A picture caption for an illustra- tion of air-eooled fabrics, throws in- hibitions to the winds. “Combining coolth with dignity for town,” it lisps with the independence | of the new freedom. | , — SOIL CONSERVATION Groups Elected at Community Meetings in Loudoun County Announced.
