LATIN BEAUTIES
 ARE MORE NATURAL

This important artist thinks that Greta Garbo, as she appears today, is a perfect example of natural beauty. And he thinks that Joan Bennett's hair-no longer bleached- is a magnificent frame for the won- derful contours of her face.
 Even the style for Latin beauties has changed" MT. Chapin concludes. T saw young, Spanish Carmen Morales being filmed as a hot blooded siren of the tropics in The Long Voyage Home" and she seemed not at all lkie the artificial Pola Negris and Nita Naldis of past era. There was naturalness, whole someness about the siren she por- trayed."
 And while we're on the subject, MT. Chapin, may we point out that Gary Cooper's type is as far cry from Rudolph Valentines as Kath- arine Hepburn's is from Nita Naldi's? And that the old time sirens mascu- line counteN;art-the patent t-leather- hairedlounge lizard smoothie-is as scarce as fiapperish Tt" girl?

 Portraitists who are artists enough to want to paint something more than mere surface prettiness are happier these days. The American woman has new standard of beauty in which the woman herself and her personality emerge victors over the artificial pretty pan" appearance that once wgaS the standard.
 Those are the ideas of James Chapin, noted American artist, who thinks American women are the worlds loveliest. Recently returned from painting i n Hollywood, he found there the highest expression of the natural beauty that holds the spotlight today. He thinks that modern woman,s healthful way of living is one of the most important factors in bringing about the change. SCREEN SIRENS"
 ARE OUT
 "The popular screen stars today love sports, sunshine and outdoor life more than night clubs. The era of the languid siren has passed. In her place, there are healthy, active women with fine muscles, firm skin, shining hair and capable, though beautiful, hands"
 MT. Chapin doubts that he, or for that matter, many other artists would have wanted to paint the stars of yesterday.
 "Vampish sirens, It'-girl types and insipid baby faces weren't exactly inspiring to an artist" Mir. Chapin explains.
 But could point almost any star today" he goes on. "They have more than obvious prettiness of face to offer. They have a deeper human quality which every artist looks for in his model. They have natural beauty"
 James Chapin believes that Hol- lywood has tremendous influence on styles in beauty and clothes. He would give the film capital at least some of the thanks for the fact that frills and furbelows and cumbersome, insincere effects in manners as we'll as cultures, makeup and dress no longer are popular.
 q don't mind having motion pie lures dictate what is beauty in a woman as long as Hollywood keeps its upresent ideals" Mir Chapin con- tinues. "As a painter believe that the movies have TOW made American women the most beautiful in the world"

Army 10 Call $1,000
Reserve Officers in
Next Eight Months
IS Per Cent to Be Those
Holding Commissions

By ROBERT BRUsKIN.

War Department sources disclosed
today that 81, 900 Reserve officers are
to be ordered to duty training with
the National Guard, the Regular
Army and conscripts within the next
eight months.
Letters were sent today to corps
area commanders asking that they
find out Immediately from Reserve
officers whether they will be avail
able for duty September 10, when
4,00C are to be ordered out, or to give
reasons for deferment.
Probably more than o5 per cent Of
those ordered to duty will be second

captains-officers Of company grade
Higher officers constitute a war re-
serve, it was explained, and the
Army is attempting at the moment
to train officers who will remain
longest on the active Reserve list,
Many of the senior officers are near
retirement age.
This ruling is expected to limit the
number of men ordered to duty who
had World War combat experience
1t was explained that the purpose is
to spread the taxpayers dollars
where 1t will do most good"
There are approximately 10000
Reserve officers and graduates of
r. o. T. C. units in colleges add
about 5000 more each year. AL
though the officers may be ordered
to duty for one year. it is expected
that many will volunteer for addi-
tional service so that during the
five years of the CONSUMPTION pro-
gram there will be sufficient officers
TO train the draftees.
Approximately 5000 Reserve off,
GERS are already on duty for a year
as volunteers. but the Army is faced
with a shortage of surgeons who
have Reserve commissions and are
willing to accept year of duty.
Although the bill authorizing
President Roosevelt to order out the
National Guard and Reserves for
one year permitted the resignation
OF all persons under the rank of
captain, it was expected that very
few registrations would occur
among Reserve officers.

ment for transfer of naval and air
base units in the British West In
dies to the United States was well
coined by the Trinidad Guardian
today as "a triumph of common

tive spirit between the democracies

Trinidad is one of the islands
where Britain has made facilities
for bases available to the United

The Guardian expressed the hope
the new agreement presaged the
development of "a new order in
which the might of the great powers
which stand for ordered progress
will be so marshaled and displayed
that.would-be aggressors will pause
and small nations live at peace, as
in the shadow of a great rock in a

Britain and BroziI
Sold 3 Cruisers
| ToU.S. in 1898
~ the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press
Naval of1cials said today prece-
dent for the United States trading
of so destroyers to Great Britain
was TO be found in this country's
purchase Of three light cruisers from
England and Brazil at the time of
the Spanish-American War.
On March 16, 1898, Just prior to
the declaration of war against Spain
April 81, the United States bought
two cruisers which Britain was
building for Brazil.
On July II the United States took
a third cruiser from Brazil. The
three vessels were named the Buff
ffaIo, which cost $575. 600; the New
Orleans, $1,429,215, and the Albany
$1,205, 600.
The Buffalo was built in 1892 at
Newport News, Va, and sold in 1893
to Brazil, from which it was repur-
chased. Its displacement was $500
tons. The other vessels were 1884
tons each.

the program are in the Bahamas,
Jamaica, st. Lucia, Trinidad, An
tigua and British Guiana.
Naval authorities said today that
every one of the bases acquired
could be put into use Immediately
by United States naval and air
forces as soon as experts agree on
the exact limits of base sites.
At the same time, one officer
pointed out that once American
occupation begins, the British may
not consider it necessary to main
tain her protective naval forces in
the area at present strength, thus
releasing needed ships for service in
Europe or elsewhere.
Use of Bases Soon Is Seen.
While any Navy use Of the new
bases must wait until an agree
ment is reached on the location
limits, the intimation was that at
least a limited use would begin at
the earliest moment. Destroyers OF
the Neutrality Patrol may be moved
in, or regular patrol flights of planes
started
Oficers, discussing the availability
of the bases, said that every one
had a harbor which could be used
at least by destroyers and cruisers.
Information was withheld on
whether battleships and aircraft
carriers could be accommodate.
Several of the bases. they added
also have facilities either for sea-
planes or land planes.
The Navy Department was not
disclosing the exact extent or char
acter of the facilities which the
British already have established in
some of the possessions involved
1t is known, however, that they in
clude actual bases, anchorages,
dockyards, refueling depots and the
like.
Exactly what additional facilities
will be needed for the United States
will not be known until experts COM
plete their survey.
Army May Get Stations
The fact that Army as well as
Navy officers were included in the
mission sent to Bermuda to make
arrangements for the base there was
seen as an indication that Army
garrisons, and perhaps Army air
units, might be established at some
bases to assist Marine and Navy
forces in guard and protective duties.
The presence of Army officers also
was said to be in the interest of CO.
ordinating the work of the two
armed services on a mutual defense
problem.
Navy officers here said that once
the United States occupies the new
basis, 1t will assume supreme con-
troll. There will be no question OF
joint Anglo-American use.
The basis, they explained, win be
available to the British only to the
extent that international law makes
any port available to q belligerent
man-o'-war. They may enter for
such repairs as necessary to make a
ship seaworthy enough to reach the
nearest British base, to take on suf-

Redisposition Of British Ships.
Inasmuch as Britain not only will
surrender most of the naval facilities
she now has at the possessions in
question but also will be restricted
in access to them under American
control, an officer here said it was
not unlikely speculation that an i'm
portant redisposition was contem-
plated for her naval forces in North
and South American waters.

stroyer-base deal as q fat accompli

preston disregarded party lines.
Discussion quickly conferred on
whether the deal presaged another
request for appropriations to aug
ment the already swollen defense
budget. Equipment will have to be
supplied for the bases and in some
cases it may be found desirable to
extend the base confines by pur-
chasing adjacent private property.

He also thought use of the Presi-
dents fund was likely.
No cash consideration was in
volved in obtaining the bases, Great
Britain agreeing to lease the sites
to the United States for 80 years
in return for the destroyers.
The historic bargain hailed by
President Roosevelt as the most i'm
portant event for American defense
since the Louisiana purchase OF
18O3-got a welcome reception in
Britain, but the axis countries re-
ceived the first news in ofdcia.
silence.
The announcement was made more
momentous by the simultaneous
British pledge that her fleet would
''in no event be surrendered or sunk
if British waters became untenaDle
"but would be sent overseas for the
defense of other parts OF the en-
pire."
No Serious Fight Seen.
Congressional supporters of the
Roosevelt "aid-to-Britain- short-of-
war" policy were quick to voice ap-
proval of the transaction as major
defense achievement. -
Those who have advocated aloof

condemned 1t just as promptly as

Nevertheless, there were no i'm
