 State Convention

NEW PLATFORM
 OF I
He Indicated in His Two
 Important Speeches 'F'''' What Is Proposed
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff CorreSpOndent)

Washington, April 27-- (UP) - President Roosevelt'S 1886 model New Deal platform began to shape itself today while his reelection candidacy pointed toward primary tests in Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts. The president has sketched some essentials of his platform in two eastern speeches. He will add to them in early June during a pre- convention speaking trip through Indiana, Arkansas and Texas. On June 27 at Philadelphia-it is safe to predict - the formally adopted platform of the democratic party will be endorsed and interpreted by MT. Roosevelt at ceremonies at which he will accept renomination for the presidency.
 Speeches Forecast Stand
 The recent Baltimore speech and the address of last Saturday in New York provided MT. Roosevelt with several choices. He could have ripped into his opposition and ad- vised the walk-out of brigade Of democratic bolters to run, instead. But the speeches avoided personali- ties to lay down future policies to be carried out If the New Deal WlnS

 It meant that at least 54 days would elapse between presentation of the decision and the date argu- ment on constitutionality of the Guffey law began.
 The 54-day period has been ex. ceeded in supreme court conSidera- ton of New Deal legislation only once. The court required 60 days to prepare its decision upholding constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 Crowds Were Attracted
 Possibility of supreme court de- cision on the validity of the Guffey coal control act drew hundreds of spectators to the court today as the tribunal returned from a two weeks recess.
 A buzz of anticipation pervaded the courtroom. However, some per- sons familiar with the court were of the opinion that the case would not be decided today because of its in- tricity and importance.

Tricks of
RetOuching
With Rouge
Shading and Coloring
Often "Change"
Features.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE optical illusions that many
women effect are nothing short
of magic. Optical illusions in the
line of their clothes, that make them
look pounds thinner or heavier as the
scales require. Optical illusion in
makeup tricks that make a round
face look more oval. thin face more
round, eyes seem larger, deeper and
so on.
Makeup at its best should do two
things. 1t should enhance natures
own coloring. And it should tend TO
send feature defects into the back
ground by the simple medium of en-
phasizing the good points.
Your makeup should make the
most of your beauty. 1t should do
for you what a clever sculptor would
do to your features If he were model
ing your face in clay; or what a clever
artist would do If he were painting
your portrait, or a photographer when
retouching your photograph.
Suppose, for instance, that your face
Is round. You apply your rouge with
light hand, you blend the color
down and In toward the nose. By
blending the color downward into the
fun part of the cheek you create an
Illusion of length. BY blending to-
ward the nose you lessen the high light
at the center of the face and make
it look more oval.
Again, suppose your face is very
thin. Apply the rouge high on the
cheek bone. Blend it outward. Keep
the color away from the nose and the
center of the face. BY applying the
rouge out on the full part of the
cheek the eye is carried outward and
there you have the illusion of width.

avoid rouge there as it will only en-
phasize the hollow.
If the cheek bones are high, avoid
rouge there also. Place the color be-
low the cheek bones and blend down.

Manners
of the
Moment

WE'VE been wrestling with the prob
! lem OF people who refuse to
shove over when we want seat. We've
decided that there's just about one
way to deal with them-and that's
muscularly. They sit themselves down
comfortably In the exact middle OF a
SPACE large enough for two. And then
they get so interested In the latest
kidnap story that you can't attract
their attention by coughing, by kick
ing their shins or by speaking haugh-
tily. They are oblivious. The only
successful method we've discovered yet
of getting a seat beside them is to sit
down gingerly on the edge and then
push. Usually that shoves them over.
Once in a while they wake up long
enough to grunt and move an inch OF
their own accord. But it's surprising
how far you can push them without
their knowing it.
Sometimes there are people like that
1t parties. They sit in the middle OF
q love seat and get SO involved in
discussion of Proust or something that
you can't make them see that you'd
like a seat. If you can summon up
the courage to say Would you mind
moving over a bit?" that's quite a
nice way of doing it. But we're in
favor Of pushing ourselves in when we
can't make ourselves heard. After all
the world owes us seat, If there's
one around.
