Calls in Mrs. Churchill
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. %. - Mrs. Robert
w. Bingham, here to observe the
English end of the work of Bundles
for Britain, of which she is national
president in the United States,
called on Mrs. Churchill, wife of the
Prime Minister, yesterday Mrs
Churchill is an English sponsor of
the organization.
The Associated Press reported er-
roneously Wednesday that Mrs.
Bingham had come to Britain to
study the type of work her organiza-
ton can do now in view of the
British governments ruling against
private gift bundles to conserve war
shipping space.
In the dispatch the ruling was
wrongly interpreted as barring ship
ments sent by Bundles for Britain.
Actually the organizations ship
ments are continuing unabated
under allotments of space through
the British war relief society The
need for bundles is as great as ever,
Mrs. Bingham said, and she is inves-
tigating the special requirements
here so that her organizations work
can be enhanced.

District Police Force
Gets First Annual
Inspection Since '36
Young and Kelly Tour
Precincts With Officials
And Examine Facilities

Commissioner John Russell Young,
Maj. Edward ]. Kelly, superinten-
dent Of police. and q group Of police
oficials today terminated the an
nual inspection Of the force.
It was the first inspection held
since 1886. Maj. Kelly said, though
the police manual calls for an In
spection Of personnel and equip
ment yearly during October.
MAJ. Kelly explained the inspec-
ton date came last year shortly
after the new police regime took
over. while there still was confusion
due to the change.
Commissioner Young, making his
first inspection, was impressed by
what he saw.
I'm very well pleased" he said.
Everything is fine and the men look
very good. There are only q few
minor complaints that we have to
make"
For the first time, the police in
spection took into consideration such
things as blackout ARRANGEMENTS,
auxiliary police facilities and stacks
of warning signs reading: Danger
Unexploded Bomb"
Facilities of scout car ambulances
-stretchers, blankets, etc.-were ex-
amined for the first time, too, these
facilities having been added since
the last police inspection.
The official tour this morning
visited the harbor and the fourth
and fifth precincts. All those max
ing the trip expressed surprise at
the harbor precinct, all evidences of
last weeks flood. with the exception
of brand-new high-water mark
having been cleaned away.
This afternoon the schedule in
cluded the Traffic Division, the De-
tective Bureau and the police school,
concluding the three e-day inspection.

Self-Serviee System
May Be Adopted by
Biq District Stores
WPB Warns of GROWING
Monpower Needs; Ushers
Scorcer in Theoters

A Self-Service system in de-
partment stores. patterned after
the plan in operation in thou
sands OF chain food stores, ap-
peared possibility today as a
result of a warning by War Pro-
duction Board officials that the
next Tightening of civilian econ
omy may be a sharp reduction
in store clerks. theater ushers
and other service personnel.
The purpose would be to conserve
manpower for more essential activi-
ties in connection with the war
effort.
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
District Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association, said the already
understaffed Washington depart
ment stores had not yet given con-
sideration to the self-service plan,
but might be forced to do so if their
employees ranks are further de-
pleted.
Recalls Spread of Cafeteria.
He recalled that the cafeteria plan
spread during the World War to con-
serve manpower, and said the even
more serious labor problem in this
war may compel department stores
to adopt a self-service system, in at
least some departments. Clerks,
however, will always be necessary in
a few departments, he pointed out,
particularly in those handling suits,
dresses. coats, etc, which have to
be fitted and oftentimes altered.
Mr.. Shaw emphasized that Wash
ington department stores have been
hard hit" by the labor shortage,
and are finding it difficult to main
tain the standard of service ex-
pected by customers. A further cur
tailment in help, he declared, would
make the existing problem critical.
The situation in Washington, Mr..
Shaw explained, is perhaps more
acute than in many other cities, due
to an abnormally large population
growth without an appreciable in
crease in the number of stores
In other words, the stores have
to accommodate nearly twice as
many customers as in prewar days
with a smaller staff of employees.
Despite all their efforts, Mr.. Shaw
said, the stores just can't get suff-
cient help.
Theaters Badly Hit.
The big movie theaters face the
same problem. They can't find boys
to serve as ushers, and If the WPB
warning becomes an actuality, every
theater patron probably will have
to find his own seat without the aid
of a uniformed boy with a fash
light.
Usher forces already have been
skeletonized by the selective serv-
ice and other war conditions. One of
the largest movie houses in WASH
ington which opened it's doors before
the war with "a usherS on duty,
now has only one on the floor before

service during the evening peak.

thought to using girls as ushers.

There's a lot of truth in the old
saying, There's nothing new I'M
der the SUM-" This certainly applies
to the use of cosmetics. Explorers
dclVing into the tombS of the an
cient Egyptians have found evil
dence to prove that even the sirens
of the Nile knew plenty about the
art of makeup.
Although the materials used have
changed greatly since that time.
we should never forget that the
primary purpose of cosmetics is
still the same-it's the enhancing
Of natural beauty. Remember that
word, natural" when you use
rouge and lipstick. They may be
your best friends or your worst
enemies-it all depends on how YOU
apply them. Many women make
the mistake of thinking that the
more rouge and 1ipstick they have
on their faces, the better and
younger they look. They are quite
wrong about that Too much
makeup hardens the expression
ana produces an aged, hard look.
sOT JUST A COLOR
II you think of rouge merely as
a way to add color To your face,
you are overlooking its most i'm
poftant advantage. With correct
application of rouge you can create
tne Illusion of improving the
shape OF your face. Let me explain
this point with some general rules
for applying rouge.
If your face is broad, bring
your rouge close to your nose to
make il thinner.
Ill you have thin face. keen

will make your face seem broader.
3.-To make a long face seem
shorter keep the rouge high on
your cheeks
4-To make a short face seem
longer, bring the rouge down low
on your cheeks.
5.-f you have long, sharp o.
pointed chins, apply rouge to make
them seem less prominent.
When applying rouge, go lightly
at first, because badly applied
rouge is worse than no rouge at all.
Don't daub it all on at one time
Do one cheek, then the other, add
ing more rouge as necessary, build
ing up the color until both cheeks
match in tone. Remember-it is
easier to and rouge than to take it
off. If your rouge looks Splotchy,
remove it with cold cream and
start over again Be sure tc blend
it out at the edges SO you can't
tell where it begins or ends
NOW FOR LIPSTICK
Now for your lipstick. Don't use
your lipstick to paint new mouth
on your face. This is all right for
the stage or screen, but is too ar
tIlc1al for everyday life. Chang
ing the natural line Of youc mouth
changes your expression. some
times disastrcusly However, if you
