FOR W0MEN:
 TAKE 10 RED
By BETTY CLARKE AP Feature Service Writer

My advice to beauty budgeteers this fail would be Start with red,
 Yes, we began talking about true reds months ago, but it hasn't been until lately that they really ar rived As a result. we now see lip sticks, nail polishes and rouge that complement, rather than swear at, each other. Remember those not very remote beauty-boX scram- bles-purple for lips orange-red for the nails, cyclamen for cheeks?
 Just How Red?
 To be sure, few manufacturers apparently fear that true reds will become monotonous. But efforts to swing out of line are compara- lively few and far between
 Now, if we've settled on true red, the question is: Just how red?
 There are two things to con- slider in looking for the answer to that. What is your general color ing. without benefit of makeup. and, second, what hangs in your wardrobe
 If you are one of those pale, pale blondes, for instance, you won't want to eclipse your lovely ash-blon hair by painting your face like that of an Indian on the warpath. But if you're one of those exotic brunettes who look their best when they wear a lot of color, you may go about as red as you like.
 About Wardrobes Now about wardrobes and red:
 Generally speaking, like calls for like If you favor soft colors, then your makeup ordinarily should be somewhat subdued You can relax that rule, of course, in the evening-when even the soft est of pastel beauties usually looks better with makeup quite a bit more vivid than that she wears by day.
 But if you wear startling col ors-say red and black, this sea- son-youll want vivid makeup to complement them. That is espe- cially true for lipsticks and nail polishes. Rouges, however, always should be underdone rather than overdone.

 Romance

Last night local audiences had a glimpse of Cadet life when "The Duke of West Point" had its pre- miere showing at the Capitol Thea tre. Produced by Edward Small, and starring Louis Hayward, Richard Carlson, Tom Brown, Alan Curtis and Joan Fontaine, the picture rep resents some of the best all-around entertainment that has come to the screen this season. Produced With fidelity, directed with imagination, and played with honesty and charm, "The Duke of West Point" should be seen by everyone who appreci- ates first-rate film fare.
 The story concerns the career of Steve Early Oouis Hayward) as a West Point Cadet An American who has been brought up abroad, Early antagonizes his superiors at the Military Academy by his Brit ish bearing and undisciplined beh - for and undergoes the harsh dis grace of being "silenced" in punish ment for breach of Academy regu- lations. Hayward, as Early, is cer- tainly the male discovery of the year, and brings to his portrayal an assurance and conviction that makes us believe in Steve Early as a very feal and sympathetic person. He receives excellent support from Tom Brown and Richard Carlson, as the two room-mates who alone have faith in Early when the other Cadets turn against him and whose confi-

White House
Grounds Closed
To Visitors

The White House grounds were
closed today to all except persons
having business at the Executive
Mansion.
War-whetted public curiosity
about the coming and going of Off
cials and a desire to afford added
protection for the President were
understood to be factors in the
Secret Service decision to keep out
casual visitors and tourists, who
heretofore have been permitted to
stroll at will through the grounds
north of the White House.
Col. E. w. Startling, chief of the
White House Secret Service, said
that when persons prominent in
national affairs arrived at the
White House and photographers and
newSpapermen clustered around
them, crowds gathered to see what
was going on and there was some
difficulty in that connection.
The White House proper, a mecca
for tourists, probably will be closed
tomorrow, Col. Startling said. He
gave the usual fall cleaning as the
reason.

This was to- the effect that they
extended as far as American
interests extended.
To a question about whether
American interests were involved
as a result of the operations of
the submarines, the President
replied by asking what kind of
submarines they were.
He suggested laughingly that
they might be Swiss and suggest
ed that reporters not get too
nosey.
Some one wanted to know
whether the sub-surface craft
might be Canadian. Again the
President laughed and declared
they might be Bolivian or Afghan.
But he remarked to correspond
ents that they might get the
identity if they kept on ques-
tioning. To some persons, this
indicated that the Government
probably had an idea of the
nation in whose services the sub
marines were operating.
An official of the Maritime
Commission said, without elabor-
ating on the Presidents remarks,
that the commission would con-
tinue to report the sighting of
submarines by vessels under its
jurisdiction. He added, how
ever, that it planned no other ac-
ton.

Government Bond Issues
Continue Declines
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-United
States Government and Treasury
guaranteed bonds dropped today,
continuing the decline of the last
two sessions in the New York
Stock Exchange.
Extreme losses around noon ran
to nearly SIT per $1,000 face value
bond, and seven issues were below
the $1,000 parity. One, in fact, was
selling at $500. Other falls did not
average as much as they did yes
terday, and volume was compare
lively light.
Some bond dealers said they ex-
pected the slump to f1atten out at
about present levels, as there were
signs that banks with cash on hand
were about ready to buy at what they
considered a fair bargain" price.
Any seriously bad news from abroad,
1t was said, however, might once
more start downswing.
Again corporations and individ-
uals seemed to be the heaviest SELL
ers, dealers reported, and there was
apparently some liquidation from
abroad.
Longer term loans were not in de-
mand, but the shorter maturity
bonds and notes suffered less. Here
the theory that interest rates might
harden if the European war con-
tinues long seemed to play a part.
The interest yield on the long ma
turity issues averaged about $50 per
cent, compared with around BIS per
cent q month ago.

Two Mates Aboard Dredqe
Save Man From River

Prompt action by two fellow work.
erS today saved the life of the mate

gagged in filling work for the new
Washington National Airport at
Gravelly Point.
The man, j. L. Faircloth, 81, fell
overheard from the front of the
craft and was disappearing below
the surface of the muddy water
when he was sighted by deckhand.
Steve Bertrand, %, shouted for
help. Alton Romero, 26, slid over
board and, while holding on to the
edge of the dredge, attempted to
locate Faircloth with his feet. BY
use of long pole Bertrand was able
to find the unconscious form of the
mate and Romero succeeded in
bringing him up by wrapping his
legs around the stricken mans neck.
Faircloth was revived on board the
craft by the Washington Fire Res
cue Squad and taken to Alexandria
(Va) Hospital, where his injuries
appeared to consist only of bruises
about the head and body. He said
he did not know what had caused
the accident. He remembered only

ISTANBUL, Sept. 22.-Authorita-

ish-Soviet Russian mutual assistance
pact would be concluded by Foreign
Minister Sukru Saracoglu, who now
is en- route to Moscow.
They said the projected treaty was
expected to reinforce strongly Tur-

Moffef Field Picked
As AeronauticaI
Research Site
Proximity to Southern

By the Associated Press.

Moffett Field, near Sunnyvale,
Calf, was selected otday for de-
velopment by the Government of a
new SIC, 900 900 aeronautical research
laboratory.
Announcement of the selection
was made by the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, which
chose the Moffett Field site from
among 54 suggested by as many
communities throughout the country.
Congress appropriated s1eO0,0O0
at its last session to start the de-
velopment.
The N. A. c. A. held that Moffett
Field was the best available location
because of its proximity to the
Southern California arplane in
dustry.
After carefully studying a sum-
mary of all the data presented by
a special subcommittee (headed by
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh), the main
committee reached the decision by
unanimous VOTE" the announce
ment read. All committee members
were present with the exception of
DR.. Joseph S. Ames, chairman, and
Orville Wright.
The laboratory will be the second
of its type established in this country
by the Government, the first being
at Langley Field, Va.
The task of both, committee men,
bers told Congress last session, will
be to help regain from Germany
world leadership in the field of air
craft development.
Moffett Field originally was estab-
lished as Navy dirigible base, but
was transferred to Army control
several years ago and is now being
expanded in line with the national
defense program. A 50-acre site
will be set aside for the new lab
oratory.
N. A. C. A. officials said they hoped
to have actual work under way
within two months, depending on
how fast bids could be advertised
and q contract awarded.
