publicity than any other hair ef-

Hollywood has about $50 make
up men, 20 of whom are top
notchers with salaries up to $400
a week. Even an ordinary make
up artist gets about $3.50 a week.
But there's no use coming on
here to get job in the paint
brush and powder-puff business;
the union has everything sewed
up. n
Stars seldom wear makeup for
publicity stills because it shows
too glaringly in photographs. In
stead, the pictures are retouched.

pearance Negroes usually are
lightened to make them photo

80 shades of grease paint, twenty
shades of powder, and % shades
of liquid makeup for arms, legs
and body. But Hollywood uses only
three shades of lipstick. while re-

the first to insist on human-hair
wigs. Previously they had BEEN
made of everything from goat h:&r

A GOOD START

Authority for OPM Director William
Knudsen to take personal charge Of ef
forts to speed actual manufacture Of
planes, tanks, guns and other arms in this
country is step that should have been
taken long time ago. Now that it has
been taken, perhaps we can overcome
what President Roosevelt has insisted is
only a slight deviation from original
American production schedules.
Knudsen, however, cannot do any good
unless he has the authority necessary to
carry out his work The results he achiey-
es will be measured by the power placed
in him.
1t has been the fault Of the federal
defense setup in the past that, while
worthwhile agencies were created and
duties were assigned on a commonsense
basis, the supposed officials were left in
the role Of kibtzers-they could criticize
and demand and argue, but they could not
enforce results. All the power to do that
remained in the Presidents hands. He,
in turn, was too busy to take action, or
was pulled in too many directions by too
many politicians.
The change has been made-now let's
have action

Best Policy If Unskilled
In First Aid.

An attempt by a well-meaning by
stander to administer artificial res Dir
alton to a man injured in an auto
mobile accident brought a warning
from Douglas Nankervis, chief Of
police.
The injured man, Hugo Kleemola

several broken ribs and cuts about the
face and neck His condition is said
to be not serious. He was struck at
the intersection of Central avenue and
Sheridan street early Sunday morning
by car driven by Steve Novasel and
owned by Martin Grahek, Sr.
Persons inexperienced in first aid
should keep their hands of injured
persons, with the possible exception of
stopping the flow of blood" Chief
Nankervis declared. The wrong treat
ment may be dertiment, and not
a benefit, to an injured person"
Officers arriving at the scene stopped
the respiration efforts of the bystander
Another accident involving pedes-
TRAN took place at the same intersec-
ton Sunday night when John Huttala
walked into a car driven by Matt

Over Half of Initial Draft
Registrars Deferred or
Liable for Release.

Nearly $50 per cent of the local
districts men registering in the first
draft were % years Of age or over on
or before July 1, and are either de-
ferred from military service or have
reasonable assurance of being released
from the selective service army at the
end of a year of training.
A total of 998 men fall within
this group, with Is of this number
now In the army. Total registra-
ton was 1,760.

year age limit face induction into the
army within a much shorter time
than otherwise. Registrars who had
their 18th birthday on July 2 or who
will become that age before July 2
of next year are liable for induction
into the army, although they may re-
quest release at the end of one year
of training.

28ers from service a new registration
was placing its first men into the

Foresee Record Entry
List for 18th Annual
Ely Community Fair
Exhibitors Make Entries
Today; Displays Open
to Public Friday.

Ely's II annual Community Fair viii
be opened to the public Friday after
noon and evening IN the Community
Center auditorium.
First entries, which came in today
at l p. m, indicated that exhibits
would be unusually high in quality and
attractiveness. Deadline for entries is
5 o'clock this afternoon. Exhibits viii
be judged tonight.
With the addition of several new
items to the display list, notably canned
meats, fish and polish sausage, entries
for the fair may be somewhat over
the 913 for last year, fair officials be-
ieve.
While last year a frost that pre-
coded the fair by one week damaged
gardens and flowers TO some extent,
extremely hot weather this summer
matured flowers unusually early. It IS
believed, however. that the flower dis
plays, reported by the judges to equal
anything offered the public in the
county, will maintain past standards.
Stems of flowers will be wrapped in
moistened moss in order to give max
imum protection to the auditorium
floor. Moss viii be available at the
auditorium.
The canned goods exhibit may
eclipse those of past fairs because Of
the added items, and new records may
also be set in the domestic science
and sewing, baking, fruits and garden
vegetables divisions.
Added attractions will be the bak-
ing display of Co. I'll of Portage
River, whose enrollee cooks viii show
their wares for the first time to the
Ely public. The U. S. forest service
will project colored slides of the Ely
wilderness territory, many of which
contain pictures of local people, made
by photographer here last summer.
Fair judges are August Neubauer,
agricultural agent for northern St.
Louis county, and Mrs. Neubauer, and
Miss Elizabeth Spreistersbach, all Of
