Beauties Hints
A Large Nose Looks
Smaller With These
Makeup Tricks
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

One Of you recently wrote to ask
what could be done about reducing
a fleshy nose. Truthfully, there
isn't very much that can be done
to change the shape Of a nose than
plastic surgery, which requires both
great deal of money and bit Of
courage.
However, there are few make
up tricks which will call less atten-
ton to q large nose and, in effect,
make 1t seem smaller.
First, never draw your hair back
tightly from the forehead. Never ap-
ply rouge close to your nose. Use a
lighter foundation cream on the
cheek areas at the sides of the nose,
and another which blends with your
natural skin tone for both your out
er cheeks and your nose, then pow
der over with a slightly darker tint
of powder. Whatever you do, don't
use white or very light powder,
or your nose will look like a head
light.

America's Card Authority

Yesterdays hand brought out an
interesting honor combination play.
The hand had been played In the
recent Metropolitan tournament in
New York, and surprisingly enough
there was similar hand in an
other board that same night, on
which only one player made the
proper play.
North's opening lead allowed the
defenders to cash the first three
tricks. South then shifted to a club,
which dummy's ace won. A small
heart was played and won by the
declarer with the ten-spot. The one
successful declarer now laid down
the jack of spades and North made
the mistake of covering with the
king. The ace dropped South's
queen. The king of hearts was
cashed and small heart led to the
queen. West then led the four of
spades, and North was helpless.
When he played the five-spot, dunn
my's six won the trick. Another
heart was won with the ace and the

Cowpower Lag
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington. Nov. 29-Both COW
and consumer are going to have TO
do better to make the milk quota
system work through next spring,
when government buying Of butter
will start again.
The War Food Administration
says a 50-pound-per-cow increase
will be necessary next year to make
their plan work. They estimate
that there are more dairy COWS
than ever, but individual produce
ton has fallen off due to scarcity
OF high-quality feeds. Large feed
crops and good distribution might
save the day. but 1t is doubtful If
1t can be done.
It can't be done without the help
of consumers. Consumers who get
milk from two dealers, or have a
quota of milk delivered and buy 1t
from O store, too, are helping to
bring on the day Of more drastic
regulation.
PRICE PREDICAMENT
Talk of getting low-cost produc-
ton under way again did not come
to much in the new regulation COW
ering sales of women's and chill
dren's low-priced outerwear. The
typical garment covered Is the
housedress. Low priced stores will
be allowed to revise prices up
ward to the level at which garments
are available from producers. The
amendment will not raise the pric-
es Of any garments, and it will give
low-cost stores something to sell.
But it won't bring the low-cost
lines back into production.
