Beauty Tips

Do you know that crocheting.
or even doing the family's
mending helps beautify your hands
by giving you muscular control and
poise? Take simple relaxing exer-
cises like Hopping the hands lazily
and rotating them on their wrists.
Another exercise for grace Is to
practice picking things UP With
your thumb and middle finger, al
lowing the other fingers to arch
naturally.

Result. the dress looked awful. But
1t was a case Of that or getting them

Finally she capitalized on her

How's the tall business coming

shows men to be 2 inches taller than
they were in the last one. Women
are ditto.
Miss Newton has discovered some

For Broken Screens
In case the screening is badly
broken. buy a new piece at least an
inch wider and longer than the
opening in the frame and cut 1t to

pry UP the holding. remove all

along one end. Now tack the oppo-

protective screen Of heavy wire over
the regular screening in the bottom
half of the door.
II the slamming Of the screen
door annoys you. this difhculty can
be overcome by using any one Of Q
number of closing devices now
on the market. A simple but effec-
tive way to deaden the sound OF
screen-door slammtng Is to tack
three small square pieces Of felt
cloth or rubber to the main door
frame Ut points Of contact. One
piece should be placed near the top.
another near the bottom, and the
third midway between.
May Need Painting
It's q good idea to paint the
screens before putting them up. II
you plan to do this. you'll need q
screen paint or enamel In color de-
sired and a small amount Of boiled
linseed oil or turpentine for thin
ming.
II you use ordinary paint, see that
It's thinned out enough to keep
from filling the screen holes. There
are, however, many special screen
paints you can buy cheaply. A coat
Of thin white paint on the screen
ing makes the interior Of the house
less visible from the outside.
Cheap screening material needs
painting every year. while galvan-
lied wire will rust only after many
years Of use. The best screening
material Il copper or bronze mesh
which will keep In good repair foI
many years.

In testing for color. start with the

give away tiny sample size enve-

that will do for this purpose. Put .
teaspoon Of your regular powder
into q box or jar that can be closed
tightly. add some Of the shade you
think you need and shake vigor-
ously to blend the two tones evenly.
II the effect isn't what you expected.
continue adding this shade or that
until you get one that flatters your

Cream Comes First
Before trying on each shade.
cleanse the face thoroughly and
smoothe on q thin Aim Of your IA
vorite foundation cream or lotion.
Use q generous nun Of cotton or
clean pun to test each shade and be
sure to smoothe 1t evenly over the

how many women powder only the
nose and cheeks. It's the forehead
and temples where you get the best
idea Of how the powder really looks.
Press the powder evenly into the

the skin. II you are In doubt be-

one on each side Of the face and
compare them, after the excess
powder has been removed with .

Senate Kills
 Health Dept.
 legaIization
Workmen $ Compensation and Gold Tax Exemp-
 lion Bills Also Fail

Several of the major and most controversial pieces of legislation of the 18th session fell by the wayside in the Senate this morning.
 By vote of four to four the Senate refused to accept House bill which would legalize the Territorial Department of Health. The De- partment now will have to continue to operate as an appendage of the office of Commissioner of Health for at least anpther two years. vot- ing to admit the bill were Senators Don Carlos Brownell, Hjalmar Nor dale, Norman R. Walker and Henry Roden.
 Also refused by the Senate was Rep. Harvey Smiths bill to amend the workmen's compensation act. The three votes necessary to block the measure were cast by Senators O. D. Cochran, c. H LaBoyteaux and Leroy Sullivan.
 Gold Tax Bill Killed
 Killed by vote of two to six was a bill to increase revenue from the gross gold tax by reducing the amount of gold production each op- eration is allowed as exemption from $20,000 to $10,000. Only Senators voting for the bill were Brownell and Walker.
 Another of the major bills of the session, that of Rep. John McCor- mick to overhaul the juvenile code, came out of Education Committee today with "do not pass" recom- mendation, Brownell failing to con- cur.
 Both Houses were to meet again at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon.
