the participation of the local team In

However, it was said that the annual
competitions Of the local Guard would
be held this year at the rife range at

The local National Guard headquar-
ters, along with other militia organi-
cations Of the country. Is being urged
by the Militia Bureau to economic as
much as possible on the rations Of
troops this year in order that deficit
might be wiped out.
1T is desired to stress the point" says
a letter from the Militia Bureau, ''that
the appropriations for the conduct of
the National Guard for the fiscal year
1888 probably viii run deficit OF more
than $3,000,00
In view Of the economic situation
and the attitude of Congress, In the
submission of a deficiency measure to
cover this deficit, it viii be necessary
-Sr the chief Of the Militia Bureau to
show that every possible economy has
been practtced and that savings have
been made where practicable.
Due to the decreased cost Of food
prouucIS the ration OF the Regular
Army has been reduced to less than
80 cents.
While it is not desired at this time
to place limiting figure on the ration,
other than that indicated in the letter
Of June IA, 1t Is particularly desired,
through the cooperation Of State au-
thorities, that the ration for the field
training Of the fiscal year 1893 be aA-
ministered to the end that 1t will not
exceed Al cents, and It is believed that
this can be done without working q
hardship on the enlisted man.
1T is further desired that the savings
made on the ration be reflected in funds
returned to the Militia Bureau at the
end of the camps in order that they
may be applied to other projects Of the
Militia Bureau budget and thus reduce
the contemplated deficit"
The commanding officer, 121st Engi-

Actor Turns Prize Fighter.

THERE has not been a problem in
makeup that has yet stumped a
Hollywood makeup artist.
Such examples as Loretta Young as
a Chinese girl in "The Hatchet Man, "
Barbara Stanwyck as an old woman IN
$50 Big" and numerous others have all
been counted in the days work Of these
studio artists.
The latest Job was to make prize
fighter Of James Cagney for sequences
in his current Warner Bros. picture.
Winner Take ALL" now at Warner
Bros Earle Theater.
When Director Roy Del Ruth consult
ed the makeup man on this task, the
latter merely answered Del Ruth's anx-
iety with nonchalant nod Of his head.
"Just let me have Cagney for half an
hour and I'll see what can do" he
said.
The caulifower ear was an easy mat
ter Cagney's ear was made into an
exact replica with the aid Of putty. But
the broken, fattened nose was a diff
ferent matter.
Adding putty would only make It
larger, ana the 1Qea was 10 make II
smaller and fiatter. The solution came
through a little device which Cagney
was already using.
A thin strip of cotton batting placed
between his upper lip and his gums gave
him an added look Of pugnacity and al
lowed an infection in the voice which
was in keeping with his role.
BY merely making this wad Of cot
ton large enough, the upper lip was
protruded forward, thus giving the ap-
pearance of the nose being closer to his
face. Added to this fattened appear
ance, adhesive tape gave it that twisted
appearance and the trick was done.

T HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July o.
Reuben Mamoulian has long
been considered one OF the
i i most brilliant of the young
Hollywood directors. Not only
did he come to the screen with a
significant record from the legitimate
stage, but he has since accomplished
some amazing talking picture victories;

This is no easy thing to do. When
a man is successful in cinemaland the

farther than they can see from MS
cameras. Whens man makes smash
hit picture it is not IN their reckoning
that he take a five-month vacation
So if Director Reuben Mamoulian car
ries out his present plan ne has more
determination and force OF character
than most of the fighting successful;
When the last bit Of editing on the
Maurice Chevalier- -Jeannette MacDon-
aid picture Is done Reuben Mamoulian
plans his escape along these lines. On
to New York for few days, renewing
of old friendships there-he has been
one of the Theater Guilds most sue
cussflll directors with "Porgy, wings
over Europe and other outstanding
pieces TO his credit.
Then he plans a trip to Brittany
where he will visit Playwright MAI

fishing village, which the autlor loves.
Then on to Paris, to Londor, TO Berlin

Says Mamoulain:
It chose a man Of TIA people for
Cheyalier because think he plays that
role far better than that of soldier,
boulevardier or any other. He is
simple little tailor in Paris who whistles
a simple little tune as he works away
stitching the lapel of coat.
ITS a good tune ard a customer

train and some soldiers are being moved

hear the composer trying out the tune
