CAR CLUB HITS
NEW TAXES

A platform demanding that
there be no new auto levies for
District motorists was adopted
enthusiastically last night at the
second annual meeting of the
Keystone Auto Club at the Cen
trail High School auditorium.
The platform also protested the
diversion of auto taxes into any
other channels other than high
way improvement.
The meeting was addressed by
Senator William H. King CD of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, who said he did
not favor any increases in real
estate or gasoline taxes, but
pointed out that the $4,000 900 def.
icit must be met by taxes in some
form
The 12-point program was
adopted by the motorists in it's
entirety. It pledged a continued
fight against bonding and towing
racketS.

CAMERA GIVES
ALL CHANCE
IN CONTEST

Have you a Photographic per-
sonality?
If you have, you are very fortu'
nate indeed, according to C. Ed
ward Carrier, test director for
Observation-Disclosures, who is COM
ing to this city next week to direct
the filming Of screen and voice
tests of Washington boys and
girls.
The strange thing about pho
tographic personalities is that
very often people who have them
are not aware of it, declares this
test director of the greatest mo-
ton picture company in the world
today. He said:
Sometimes person with
charming personality off the
screen fails to have a personality
on the Silvered sheet. And,
usually, 4 person with a pho
tographic personality has very
little personality off the SCREEN"
All Have a Chance
That should come as welcome
news to many of the girls en-
rolled for the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer voice and screen oppor-
tunity tests, sponsored here by The
Washington Times and Loew's
Capitol Theater.
For it means that everyone-re-
CARELESS of their one-the-surtace
charm, personality and appear
ance-has an equal chance. For
no one knows what the eye Of the
camera will reveal. Mr.. Carrier
adds:
THE camera executes strange
tricks. 1t catches something
about a person the eye cannot
see; it shows us up in an en-
tirely different and new light
a side of ourselves we perhaps
never knew before.
Take, for example, Norma
Shearer. Miss Shearer has a
charming personality off the
screen, and one as equally
charming on, but the two are
as different as night and day.
"NOw, off the screen, Miss
Shearer's personality is wholly
magnetic. 1t attracts and breeds
confidence entirely different
than that of her screen or
Photographic personality!
"The same thing is true OF
Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow,
Madge Evans, Una Merkel and
many other MetrO-GOldwyn-
Mayer players"
But aside from that, the i'm
portant feature of Mr. Carriers
opinion, insofar as entrants for
voice and screen tests are con-
cerned, is the startling fact that
the camera may reveal a hidden
personality-a hidden charm, tai
ent, appeal.
Metro-G o1dwyn-Mayer is anx
ious to discover sparkling new
screen personalities for their
own productions as well as for
the Hal Roach comedies re-
leased through their organiza-
ton. Every entrant, therefore,
will be given every opportunity
to make good in their tests.
The tests, which are to be
supervised by Mr.. Carrier and
filmed by his staff of expert
camera and sound men long ex-
perienced in just this sort of
work at the M-G-M studios in
Culver City, Calf, will be made
in full view of the audience on

EOR those who need long and fiow-
ing lines to soften the silhouette
and give it an easy grace, this after
noon or daytime frock is perfect. The
main thing is to get a good effect
above the waistline, which this frock
so successfully does by using elbow
length capelet sleeves cut in one piece
with the sloping yoke. The new short
shawl collar loops gracefully to close
with a small flower and line Of
dainty round buttons. A light, sheer
print in soft pastels in voile, chiffon
or dimity, will do more than justice to
the lovely lines of this frock.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1888 is
designed for sizes 36. 38, 40, AZ, A,

~ EAR MRS. POST: Is 1t out
of the way at double we'd
ding ceremony OF sisters Tor
- them to have one maid OF
honor for the two brides and one set
of bridesmaids? Will you please ar
range the procession if there is nothing
wrong with the idea itself?
Answer-The most charming way
that I know of to solve this question
is the not unusual procedure OF hav-
ing the two brides walk together pre-
ceded by their maid of honor, who in
turn is preceded by their bridesmaids.
In this case the father waits at the
end of the front pew next to his wife
and goes forward and gives first one
daughter and then the other II, mar
riage. If, on the other hand. they
don't want to walk together, then
don't see how the fact that the maid
of honor and bridesmaids are shared
can be indicated since the impression
given would be that they were those
of the older sister and that the younger
one had none.

~ gest the type of dress most suit

ding is taking place at IL and the
breakfast invitation is for Immediate
ly afterward in an hotel.
Answer-You wear exactly the same
type of clothes as you would wear to
a lunch or at an afternoon bridge
party. In other words, you could
wear a very simple tailored (almost
sports) dress and hat, or, On the

DEAR MRS. POST: am being
~ married in church and dressing
as a bride, but we are simply receiv-
ing our friends on their way out OF
church as my parents cannot afford
to have a real reception with q COLA
ton. The wedding party Is, however,
going to a restaurant for late morn
ing breakfast. Would it be more suit
able to change my wedding clothes
for my going away suit before going
to the restaurant?
Answer-This Is q question OF
whether you mind being looked at by
strangers. Not that there is any rea-
son why you should mind. but un-
less you have a private room it is
natural that all the other people in
the restaurant will certainly be much
interested in watching you.

kept a modern family in victuals
for year!
As late as my own grandfather's
day, this practice of wholesale visit
ing was still going on. Families we're
so large that if clan "get-together"
for Christmas was indicated, the
houses, large as they were, fairly
bulged. I remember grandfather tell
ing me Of one Christmas when he
and % first cousins stayed at his
grandmother's for Christmas-and
the %, mind you, were just the
younger generation! That household
boasted a bed so large that it was
called Rhode Island" because 1t was
almost the size of that State-and
grandfather told me that sometimes
eight of the littlest children would
be put to bed in it at the same time.
I have seen Rhode Island" as it
came down through the family gen.
erations, and truly believe that the
story was not exaggerated. AS
matter of fact. when young I used to
play on the floor beneath it-and 1t
was a haven of refuge when I had
committed crime, and a spanking
was in order. 1 remember on one
occasion kept the switch at bay for
five whole hours-because when was
directly in the middle underneath the
big bedstead no one could reach me
from the outside-they even tried
fishing me out with walking sticks
and things, but couldn't reach quite
far enough. The bed was so low that
only a small object like myself could
get under it, so the situation usually
developed into a state of siege until
was starved out.
QUT all this has nothing to do with
~ those old Virginia recipes We start
ed talking about. They say it is a sign
of old age when one rambles on and
gets off the main topic-so guess per-
haps had better get out the carpet
slippers and lace cap and sit by the
fire!
One Of virginia's best-beloved spe-
cialties is batter bread. The recipe
which I am giving you for this lus-
cious concoction has been handed
down from generation to generation in
Richmond family famous for its
hospitality and delicious foods. 1t
is simple to make, but the directions
must be closely followed if the proper

Haphazard Buying Of
Various Beautifiers
Not Way to Beauty.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

COME women measure their beauty
- efforts by the number Of jars and
bottles that decorate their dressing
tables. Actually, beauty doesn't lie
in innumerable jars and bottles. It
isn't how many preparations you buy
and try that mark your success. It Is,
rather, how few precisely suited to
your needs that count in the beauty
run. 1t is far more important that
you select scientifically, use correctly
and consistently, applying along with
the preparations themselves q few
simple reliable rules.
Haphazard buying Is no longer
smart. Fitting from one prepara-
ton to another without giving any
really fair, thorough trial brings other
griefs. Persktency is virtue, and in
the manner of faithful use of beauty
aids reaps just reward.
Buy wisely and well the preparations
you will use on your face. Know
something of their reputation; know
their purpose, and know above all
whether that purpose fulflls your in
it is you need and know what it is you
want the preparations to accomplish
before you buy.
To do all this you must, primarily,
know your skin. Is it normal, dry,
oily or what We call a combination
skin. Do you need specific correc-
tives for blemishes, enlarged pores,
blackheads? Are wrinkles the bane
Of your beauty? Is your contour sag
ging? If you have the answers to
these questions and know what beauty
aids will correct the specific defects
you wish to correct or what beauty aids
will preserve the beauty that is yours,
that's half the battle won.
If you are at al in doubt as to
your skin condition and the specific
preparations you need. then by all
means find out first. No need wasting
energy and money for something that
may be so foreign to your needs as to
actually make matters worse.
And after you have purchased the
preparations, know the best way TO
apply them for the best results. And
| remember that sane, scientific, faith
ful routine, night and morning, few
minutes every day is worth months,
years of ambitious spurts that have
lulls and lapSeS betwixt and between.

and What TO Do About It" is yours for

To Please Children.

In nursery schools throughout the
land, where children from to S
play together, it is customary for each
child to receive a generous serving Of
fruit juice in the middle of the morn
ing. A director of one of these schools
points out the fact that apricot juice
is the favorite kind and that probably
not l mother in 10 thinks about
serving it at home. Next time you
cook dried apricots give the children
q serving Of the juice, too.

L a late at the prospect Of finding
any breakfast; but those two robins

Spring despite the snowstorm, and

With Spring on its way and stylists
telling us every day how important
gray and beige are going to be in the
scheme Of things, the question i'm
mediately arises, Are these colors
becoming, and can wear them?"
The answer was given last week by
Nine. Colbo, a widely known cosme-
tician and expert on color harmony
She said with her pleasant French
accent, Eyes, of course, you can wear
them. Why not?" And then went on
to explain her theory Of harmonizing
clothes to skin tones.
She said there are three general
types of skin, golden skins, pinkish
skins and colorlesS skins. You can
readily pick your type and then dis
cover how to use makeup in order to
wear the Spring colors to best advan-
tage. She classed as golden skins all
those with yellowisL undertone from
ivory white-clear, pale creamy-to q
more decidedly suntan skin. If you
come within this group you can wear
beige beautifully and need only accent
your natural coioring with powder and
