WARRIORS FELL
 BEFORE BEAUTY
Charms of Cleopatra Easi. ly Duplicated Today By
 Average Girl

Cleopatra was c resourceful wo- man. Armed with little more than the lure Of feminine charms, she was c match for powerful warriors and cunning statesmen, including even the redoubtable Caesar and Marc Anthony. To Cleopatra, beauty was the source of strength. To Egypt, Cleopatra,s long hours Of toilet preparation were more vital than the training of her armies
 Authentic records reveal some Of the intimate details Of Cleopatra's technique. She rouged her lips, powdered her face, and used many kinds Of cosmetics on her skin. eye brows, hair, and finger nails. It was said that Clcopatra's beauty r0u- tine required many hours of her time every day. To manufacture the materials must have taken c for- tune, ag many Of the ingredients were very costly.
 Cleopatra was not the originator of the cosmetics business, however, Since hundreds Of years before her time, women Of high position had spent much time and wealth iii beautifying their persons. Clay .ab- lets recently excayated by archaeoIo- gists in the Near East tell Us ali about t. In those days, q woman had to be very rich to afford the use of beauty preparations.
 Today, fifty million American wo- men improve their appearance through beauty culture and the aid of cosmetics. Their technique and their materials are go good that visitors from foreign countries cf- ten express amazement at the beauty Of c few, but rather the universal attractiyeness Of American women ifi all walks Of life.
 No one needs to be tinattracttye any more. With reasonable skill and judgment, every woman csn enhance her natural charm. And the services Of beauty shops are everywhere available ct moderate prices. Cleopatra would probably have given a good part Of her king dom for the cosmetics and servlces which the chic little stcncgraplier buys for c dollar . week.

Plans of Safety Commissioner

a $40 annual license fee upon
mechanical musical devices oper-
ated in taverns. restaurants and
other public places met delay We'd
nesdsy when local operators de-
clared they would be put At "A
disadvantage In competition with
Seattle operators.
Headed by Roy p. Peck. they
told the council there are about
seven Seattle operators installing
such machines In Tacoma and that
they now have about 80 to 40 of
the choice locations.
Peck suggested that instead of
licensing each machine, there be a
single license of about sos year
on each operator. He said an
operator would have to control
80 or 40 machines to make a living,
since some locations pay well while
others are operated at loss.
Al the suggestion of Commits
sioner Bergerscn. the operators
here will meet with Commissioner
Eastwood Thursday morning To
discuss some revision of the
ordinance.

freedom which a democracy makes
possible in musical education. con-
trasting conditions in this country
and the possibility for musical de
velopment and advancement here
with conditions under the restrict
ed cultures of totalitarian coun-
tries. He noted that Germany and
Italy formerly leaders in music,
are now under such rigid controls
that the future development of
music there will be hampered.
