Makeup should be used to drama
tize-never to conceal-the natural
texture of the skin. Learn to apply
rouge and powder sparingly to give
your complexion a lovely finish
rather than "caked" look.
If you don't think that your skin
is attractive enough to warrant
dramatizing, get busy with routines
to clarity its tone and improve its
texture. Unless there Is something
organically wrong with you, there's
no reason why you cannot have a

Stars Luxury Outfits Can Be
Reduced" For Miss Smallbudget
JUST EXCHANGE
RICH MATERIAL
FOR CHEAP ONE
BY LUCIE NEVILLE

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
Hollywood.-When Edith Head
showed me an evening costume that
she had designed for Mary Martin
to wear in Love Thy Neighbor," !
said, swell! And just how many
people can afford ermine and gold
lame? What's the use of showing
these expensive movie things, ex-
cept to make women wish they were
screen Stars?"
"Ummm-is that sol" retorted
Paramount's designer. Gimme a
pencil now, instead of ermine
for the coat and muff, We'll just
use white velveteen. It's nicer
than velvet. Cut it in strips, edge
stitched together, to simulate the
fur -" When she had finished
the sketches, she said, well, I de-
clare! I believe I like these bet
ter than the fancy ones, don't
you?"
HIGH BUDGET
TO Low BUDGET
She had reduced the outfit from
high to low-budget without sacri-
f1cing line; changed it from spec
tacular screen costume to charm
ing gown and wrap that non-movie
glamor girls would love and could
wear innumerable times.
The $185 lame gown, whose
heart-shaped decolletage was. re-
peated in the lines of the bodice
sections, had been duplicated irl
heavy white crepe. About seven
yards would be needed, Miss Head
estimated, because the skirt is
three straight lengths of materia.
in big, fiat, impressed box pleats
To accent the neckline and three
V-Shaped bodice lines, she Sug-
gested piping them in narrow gold
kidskin bandss or better, bands Of
gold embroidery.
The ermine coat and muff cost
$1,000. Translated into velveteen
you'd need five yards for the
three-quarter coat with circular
skirt, yard more for the muff.
Trimming will cost as little as
you like" Miss Head said. "You
can buy the kidskin banding by
the yard. I gave Miss Martin gold
gloves but they can be eliminated
And the belt can be inexpensive
though I'd keep it wide, to make
the waiStline slim. Wouldn't the
velveteen and crepe in lipstick red
make a grand holiday outfit?
STARS OFTEN GET
COSTUMES COPIED
Were accustomed to doing this
sort of reduction thing all the time
for stars who want favorite screen
costumes copied after they've finish
ed picture. Having been designed
for the screen, the clothes often are
too spectacular or dramatic for per-
sonal wardrobes. So we must take
away the picture influence, make
the clothes more normal.
"But there isn't a dress design
ed that can't be reduced to mex
pensive materials if it's basically
well-cut. OF course, if it depends
on Ostrich feathers and junk jew
elry to attract attention, there's
nothing you can do with 1t.
1--WE used French fabrics for
years, and I'll miss the lovely silks
and woolens. But any designer
who depends so much on costly
fabrics that she can't make good
dresses from inexpensive mate
rails, isn't worth a whoop."

SKIN OIL A FACTOR OF YOUTH
HEALTH AND BEAUTY

SKIN OIL A FACTOR OF YOUTH,
HEALTH AND BEAUTY
The schoolboy's shining morning
face, the beaming countenance Of
starTy-eyed youth, the radiance of
, budding womanl1ood and the brainy
impression commonly associated with
balding man are more or less gland
ular-not the mysterious ductless
glands this time, but the sebaceous
glands that screte Sebum, skin oil.
Normal supply of sebum or skin
oil not only keeps the skin (and the
hair) in perfect condition and most
pleasing appearance, but protects
from irritants and prevents disease.
Excessive secretion Of sebum, Sc
borrhea, occurs chiefly in adolescence
but it is not uncommon in young and
mature adults. Most authoritative
medical works on dermatology devote
from page to a chapter to the
etiology and pathology (cause and
nature) of seborrhea and so reveal
to the reader that the authors
know no more than ordinary, plod-
ding door-to-door practitioners know
about it.
In many instances excessive oil
mess Of the skin is accompanied with
some patches Of skin Inflammation
(dermatitis) and scaling-this is. va
riously called pityriasis, seborrheic
eczema, seborrhea sicca, though the
last name is more generally restrict
ed to the condition on the scalp
which is familiar to every one as dry
dandruff.
Dry dandruff is comparatively
late manifestation of simple sebor-
rhea or excessive oiliness of the
scalp.
In the first place excess skin oil
! may be removed by gently wiping
the skin with soft tissue, cloth or
cotton wet with alcohol. or an al
coholic lotion such as so-called with
hazel extract or Cologne water or
other perfumed spirit or toilet wa
ter. For removal of excess oil from
a limited area, say the nose, carbon
tetrachloride is satisfactory, or plain
benzine when using either of these
on face or scalp be sure to have
free ventilation, and take a full
breath and hold it for while after
the solvent is applied. OF course
vigorous scrubbing with soap and
warm water, followed by rinsing
with tepid and finally cold water,
removes the grease or oil too, but
at the same time stimulates the
sebaceous glands to pour out more
| oil.
Sulfur and resorcin are the best
local remedies for excessive oiliness,
either Of the skin or the scalp.
When applying resorcin to the scalp,
however, It must be remembered that
1t may temporarily stain gray, white
or blond hair yellowish red, and this
may be avoided by using a Sulfu,
and salicylic acid mixture instead
OF sulfur and resorcin, the effect Of
salicylic acid being similar to that
of resorcin.
Lotion, powder and pomade con-
tanning these remedial agents will
be described later, or If you are in

All the little thoughtful things

The woman who fills her life
so full of superficial duties that
she hasn't time to be nice is making
a big mistake. For the woman who

Mediation Bodyd
OF Five

Providence, 4. !. GLNS) S).-Adam
G. Sawyer, president Of the Westerly,
K. l., Central Labor Union and sec
retary Of the Granite Cutters Union
has been appointed to represent the
American Federation Of Labor on a
labor mediation panel Of five mem
bers, Harvey Saul, State Director Of
Labor announces.
Mediation boards Of three will be
chosen from the panel from time to
time for the consideration and set
tlement Of labor controversies. Rules
Of procedure drafted by Director Of
Labor Saul require the presence Of
three members, with one member for
each Of the three interests with rep
resentation-the public, labor and en-
ployer
While these mediation boards will
function primarily to settle pending
or future labor disputes, it is expect
ed according to Saul, that the expert
/ ence Of these boards will enable them
to develop principles and practices as
/ a code Of fair standards the observ-
ance Of which will promote greater
security and contentment in employ
ment relations. Saul points out that
insecurity Of jobs, inequality of wages,
dissatisfaction with working condi-
tions, and inattention to grievances
lead to discomfort and unrest.
Outlines Of proposed fair labor
standards have already been submit
ted to the Director Of Labor by the
Rhode Island Textile Association and
he is expecting additional suggestions
from employer groups as well as from
labor organizations who have assured
him Of their cooperation.

LABOR'S STAKE

1t has been favorite device of
the Germans, to picture the British
and French working people held in
bondage, forced to fight and die in
order to save little clique at the top
of their Governments Yet the British
masses have supported this war from
the very beginning, and the leaders
of British labor have now been placed
in key positions in the direction of the
British war effort. British labor be-
lieves it's stake in this war to be at
least as great as that of the aristo-
cratic families. 1t knows that a Hit
Ter victory would wipe out all that la
Dor has gained in generations OF

If you were selected as a delegate

is a certain way to avoid this or any

UNINFORNED

The people who have to pay the
full price, possibly even with life it
self, are entitled to know what is be-
ing planned for them. They are not
being sufficiently informed today on
national defense progress, principally
because many phases of the program
are in so fluid state as to defy con-
crete statement. That stage will pass,
soon we hope, aad.when it does the
country should be kept up-to-the-
minute in it's information on affairs
which so profoundly affect the future.
