Keeping cool In summer has long
been a matter that battles the best
Of us. While there is probably no
really satisfactory solution to the
problem other than air-conditiOning,
there are a number of ways of being
less uncomfortable and looking at
least reasonably cool.
One of the first rules, Of course,
is to wear light weight clothes. Per-
lsonally, have always found cOttons
cooler in summer than silks, per-
haps because of the knowledge that
they can be washed. Tight-fitting
dresses and wide, snug belts should
be avoided in extremely hot wealth
er. You can look trim and chic
without having your summer dresses
as closely fitted as your winter ones.
Use Makeup Lightly
Summer makeup is important
too. Use 1t sparingly during the
summer and choose it carefully.
Your skin tone is likely to change
after a few weeks of summer, so
keep that in mind when applying
your powder. Select the cosmetics
that blend best with your coloring
and then apply them lightly. Too
much lipstick will melt and run be-
low your lip-line. Too much powder
will become caked and a heavy dose
Of rouge will probably streak as the
perspiratiOn makes your cheeks
damp.
Nail polish in summer should be
Of lighter hue than the deeper fall

son, the cooler we look, the cooler
we feel.
Warm and Cold Baths
1 can't stress too much the Inn
portance of frequent baths in hot
weather. Not only are they nee
essary to cleanliness and beauty,
they are important to comfort as
well. A cold bath in the morning
will start you out refreshed for the
days work, but in the evening It Is
wise to take lukewarm bath before
retiring, regardless Of the tempera-
ture. Lukewarm baths are soothing
to the nerves and conducive to
sleep.
Above all, don't hurry. Take
everything in your stride and don't
let anybody. rush you. Remember
that haste makes waste, and in this
case it makes waste of beauty, COM
fort and good grooming.
Wbdt are your beauty prob
lens? Write Marie Downing,

Get people into trouble. get them
out again, with music that has a
faint odor of sachet."
That is the formula by which
Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammer
stein, I'd, have turned out long sue
cession of big musical shows, whose
melodies have rung through the last
Is years.
1t was Mr. Kern, kindly, friendly,
soft-spoken members of the collab-
orator-partnership, who talked while
Mr.. Hammerstein supervised re-
hearsal-not in a theater, but in the
Willard Hotel.
Asked how the two went about the
art Of writing big musical produc-
ton, Mr.. Kern explained:
It's a long process. We talk and
null over many different ideas.
Sometimes the idea comes from a
tiny thing, as small as a little bit
OF wallpaper, which gives the key to
what whole room will look like
when it's finished. It's the pattern
for the whole decor"
Locale Comes First.
But where do you start? What
is usually the beginning of a musi-
cal show?"
THE locale replied Mr.. Kern,

The myriad voices of the orchestra
responded as DR.. Kindler's eloquent
hands conveyed his ideas.
Races to Merge in Concert.

of the "Tannhaueser" overture,
starting with the seductive Venus

the introduction and dance from

typical merging of races and ma
tionalities. Therell be the Rimsky-
Korsakov, Russian; the Haydn

"Sakuntala," by Goldmark, both
German: the "Uriel Accosta" suite
by Karol Rathaus. Polish. and the
famous pianist Moriz Rosenthal
will play French concerto with the
orchestra, the G minor of Saint
Saens.
DR.. Kinder seemed we'll pleased
with the technical proficiency of
his musicians at their first re-
hearSals.
That was very good" he said
more than once.
But amid what sounded to a lay
man tonally flawless, there oc-
CURED sometimes an effect which
he felt could be improved And he
never hesitated to stop the players
and make his suggestions.
Dr.. Kinder stood on the podium
in his shirtsleeves. leaning over, his
ears attuned to the least jarring
note, the slightest variation from
tempo or volume. The musicians sat
at their ease. coats shed if they
chose. Next Sunday they'll be formal
and precise, and it's safe to predict
that no one could guess they hadn' t
been practicing all summer.
Most of last seasons orchestra is
back. The ensemble is strength
ened by some newcomers of high
repute.

Labor Leader Loses
High Court Review

To Consider Appeal
From Ruling
BY the Associated Press.

Dan w. Tracy Of Washington
D. c., president of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
failed today to obtain a Supreme
Court review of a decision ordering
further proceedings in connection
with contempt action against him.
He appealed to the high tribunal
from decision by the Federal Cir
cult Court at New York. 1t had
reversed a ruling in favor of Mr..
Tracy by the Southern New York
Federal District Court.
The litigation grew out of court
order obtained by Allen Bradley Co.
Of New York and other companies
directing Mr.. Tracy to show cause
why he should not be held in con-
tempt for falling to appear to testify
In response to a subpoena.
Was Injunction Case.
His testimony was sought in liti-
cation brought by the Bradley COM
pany and others in an effort to
enjoin, under antitrust laws. the
local union of the electrical workers
from interfering with the COM
panies in the manufacture and sale
OF electrical products.
Mr.. Tracy contended that the
subpoena to appear before a special
master in the case had not been
served on him. A court officer said
he had given the subpoena to Mr..
Tracy in New York City, together
with the $25 witness fee.
After the show-cause order had
been issued by Federal District
Judge Liebell Mr.. Tracy obtained
an order from Federal District
Judge Mandelbaum directing the
companies to show why the Leibell
order should not be quashed.
Decision was Reversed.
In his decision Judge Mandel-
baum held there had been no valid
service of the subpoena on Mr..
Tracy and he quashed the proceed
ings initiated before Judge Leibell.
Reversing this decision, the Cir
cult Court said orderly procedure
required at least the consolidation
OF the two orders to show cause"
1t added that the companies were
entitled to be heard on the con-
tempt issue "in the sort of proceed
lngs which at least give them a
chance to secure the order they
seek if they prove the contempt
they assert"
