NEED NEW HAIR STYLE
LILO S1OOllQ WO1h I1lucI way,
start thinking about a new hair
style. The trend in 1941 is toward
slightly shorter hair, with curls
worn up from the temples in not
too-set manner. Experiment with
your hair until you find style that
is both flattering and a part of
your personality. Don't be afraid
of a change-for a change of pace
adds interest and allure!
While all this is going on, take
extra pains with your complexion.
If your hair is dry, your skin may
be in the same condition. Cleanse
it thoroughly at night with a rich
cream, applied like thick mask
and then massaged into your face
with an upward and outward mo-

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-25

This map-diagram of Greater
Detroit might make it easier
- for the non-military mind to
understand the multitude of guns,
big and small, that America needs
for her army and navy.
Guns, like golf clubs, are chosen
for the requirements of the job at
hand: distance, weight of the blow
and type of trajectory (1at or arc)
The IN allest weapons, of
course, are the rifle and pistol, the
biggest in common use the 16-inch
gun, which is both the weapon of
the largest warships and the fixed
weapon of some harbor defenses.
The 16-inch gun throws a huge
projectile 20 miles and more, out
of sight over the curvature of the
earth.
The standard artillery piece of
modern motorized armies is now
the 105-mm. gun, which is as easy
to handle as the 75-mm. of recent
years but throws a shell one-third
heavier with twice the effect.
In studying the diagram of shell
flights, bear in mind that there are
1,760 yards to the mile, that %
millimeters represent one inch,
that a howitzer differs from a gun
of the same bore in that it lobs its
shell high Ito shoot over hills, etc.
and hence not as far.

He signed Miss Smith, took her to

I had visions of being. legitimate
actress. But I found that being
tall is no handicap for screen sue
cess-or anything else a tall girl

Miss Smith is no Cinderella girl.
She was never a waitress, nor an

This procedure consists of set Wis

and asking a lot of questions.

plenty in conversational way.
Aside from the deal that placed Da-
