600 Reaches President.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Some supporters of the wilcox air
base bill are known to be concerned
lest 1t be killed by a presidential veto.
The bill, which authorizes expend-
iture of nearly 100000 900 for con-
struction of six major air bases for
the Army, passed the Senate last week
and went to the White House.
Since theu. there has been no indi-
cation OF presidential action on 1t.
The fact he did not sign it quickly
has given rise to a feeling in some
quarters that he may not approve
of 1t.
President Nom -Committal.
Sponsors of the six-Zone air defense
plan provided in the bill acknowledge
the President was non-committal
when asked several weeks ago If he
would approve it.
Having seen the bill travel as far
as the Presidents desk. however,
Representative Wilcox, Democrat, Of
Florida, its author, is making efforts
to have it enacted
He had appointments today with
Secretary of War Dern and with Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, Army chief Of
staff. He said he would go to the
White House afterward in hopes Of
discussing his measure with the
President.
II the bill is signed, Secretary Dern
Is expected to appoint a commission
of five high ranking Air Corps officers
who will inspect cities throughout
the United States in quest for sites
for the bases.
No New Appropriation.
Among those under consideration
are Portland, Greg; Seattle, Fair
banks. Alaska; Denver, Salt Lake City
Albuquerque, N. Mex; Miami. Boston,
Portland, Me-, and. Concord, N. H.
Proponents of the bill base their
hopes for presidential approval on the
fact no new appropriation is called for
The measure simply authorizes the
President to allocate public works
funds to the project.

Group 2, Young Women from 20 to 30
Years.
ARTICLE LIZ

Women from 20 to 30 generally
play much too hard, work too hard.
take things too seriously, or in other
words begin to realize they have emo
lions and ambitions and give vent to
them. They do not seem to want to
relax OF rest. Therefore relaxation Is
the main purpose Of facial treatments
for women between these years.
In women Of this group, we watch
for dark circles around the ewes.
drawn appearance around the mouth
the result Of fatigue. With the cush-
ion of the third finger the lines around
the mouth are given a ~vibratory mas
sage. The number Of times depend
upon the depths Of the lines. Of course
a special lubricating cream is used for
this treatment.
To relieve tension and relax the
eyes we massage the eyes beginning
in the corner working over the eye and
down, then back to the corner. Then
with the tips of the fingers starting
at the bridge a rotary movement and
then a stroking is worked out to the
temples. Such movements as these
are extremely soothing and it is pos
sible to feel the patron actually re-
taxing while they are being given.
This completes the movements for
the facial, but the patron is not ready
for the finishing touch until she has
had from ten to fifteen minutes rest
period. This step is not given to the
teen age girl because she i too poppy
to be given a forced rest. After the
rest period the patron is now ready
for the removal Of the preparation,
an astrigent is put on, then the make
up. When a woman from 20 to 30
is very active she should have one Of
these facials every ten days or two
weeks.
