ANN DELAFIELD: Makeup
expert.
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Cfnff VNritor

expert.
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
To raise an eyebrow that you
haven't gOt--a problem for many
girls with blonde or sketchy brOws
use a clever makeup dodge.
Best for that purpose says ex-
pert Ann Delafield, director of a
famous Fifth Avenue salon, lis a
mascara stain-broWn if your eye
broWs are fair; black if you have
brunette coloring.'
The trick according to Miss
Delafield, is to tint forehead fuzz
and make it look as convincing as
eyebrows. To put that deception
across, this is the procedure: First
scrub broWs, or what passes for
brows, with soap and water. Then
take a piece of cotton and. dip in
skin freshener Or cologne and rub
the fuzz toward the hairline until
it stands on end. Now take a
mascara brush, dampened with
paste, and run it lightly through
outstanding hairs, taking care not to
touch the skin. Let the mascara dry,
and brush brows SO as to re-route
hairs to the proper place and to
subdue color of the stain.
Of course, you'll want to go on
from here and dress up your eye
lashes. A method of application
that gets to the root of things and
makes you look more Wide-eyed is
to put mascara on with a single
tufted brush-like a lipstick brush
and to color one lash at time.

LUBBOCK, Texas - U.p) -
Those skeptics who think the
Horatio Alger rags to riches"
days are over in America
should have chat with George
F. Peterson.
A year ago Peterson was
down and out-financially. He
had been forced to close his
Lubbock hotel because the
shortage of gasoline took away
his guests.
He got a job as a shipyard
welder on the Pacific Coast,
and met a man who once made
his living manufacturing toy
walking ducks.
Peterson liked the idea. He
came home and set up walking
duck factory in his home.
The idea caught on.
Now Peterson has IS women
working in his Evan Company
factory, all of them making his
toys, and four statesmen out on
the road.
"Sales are limited only by
the amount of material and la
Dor l can get" says Peterson.

Would Expand
Parking Area
in <. Detroit

EAST DETROIT-Four addi-
tional parkways for the con-
venience of shoppers in the
business district and relief of
parking congestion are being
sought from the State Highway
Department by the City of East
Detroit.
The council has addressed an
official appeal to the state de-
partment asking that parkways
be constructed at Gratiot ave-
nue. and l0-Mile, Lincoln, Town
send and Eight Mile.
The west Gratiot pavement
between Eight and Nine Mile
roads, the council pointed out,
is "a feet wide, and the east
slab 80 feet wide-both pave
ments, too narrow for even
parallel parking, bring about
congestion with an element Of
danger.
North of the Nine Mile road
the pavements are only 20 feet
wide on east and west sides of
Gratiot.
City officials and merchants
alike believe the parkways, if
approved at Lansing, will do
much to improve the appearance
of Gratiot as we'll as furnish a
useful purpose.

Regulations
orAuctions
Are Adopted

EAST DETROIT-Police Of
ficials of this community from
now on will rest easier when ali
auctioneer sets up an overnight
stand and the crowd flocks %
bid on his stock-in-trade.
No longer will people be bid
ding on furniture purloined
from a Warren Township house
a few hours before Gas happen
ed some years ago., nor Will
they be buying the latest "hot
goods" for which the Detroit
pawn shop and burglary squads
are searching. Also, fist-fights
between competing customers
and noisy auctions lasting till 2
or 3 a. m, are a thing of the
past.
East Detroit has given final
reading to City Ordinance No.
81, regulating the business of
auctioneers.
For years the community has
been plagued with visiting auc-
tioneers of a "fly-by-night" va
riety-not all of them, but some.
They visited the city late in the
evening, and flew away before
investigators had a chance to
check their dubious stock or as
certain their identities.
HOUSE WAS STRIPPED
The top award for grand lar
ceny, according to a city Off
cial, went to one auctioneer who
drove up to a Warren Township
residence, on the borders of
East Detroit, and calmly strip
ped the entire house of furni-
ture. When the family returned
to the vacant house few hours
later, they not only found them
selves without furniture, but
later learned the "auctioneer"
had Immediately sold it at fancy
prices to the highest bidder.
Many a time police learned
(hours and days after fly-by-
night auction had been heidi
that most of the goods sold were
stolen in Detroit.
Often when "hot goods" were
on the auction block, the auc-
tioneer sold them at such bar
gain prices that tempers flared
up among the bidding clientele
and some rousing fist-fights
brought police to the scene.
POLICE TO INVESTIGATE
Legitimate auctioneers were
among those who favored the
ordinance since it will eliminate
the racketeering influence from
their business.
Auction dealers coming to
town will be required to pay a
$40 license fee, and report the
details of their stock to police.
They will be subject to regula-
ton and full investigation by
the Police Department and will
not be permitted to proceed
with auctions until given a
clean bill of health.
In addition, the new ordi-
nance requires that auctions be
conducted during normal hours
of business-which will greatly
hamper the racketeer who used
to slip into town at 10 p. m, and
make his quick cleanup by 4
a. m.
The ordinance will cramp his
style, police assert.

Dr. Abbot works on the theory that the

heat and light radatons He has found nearly
a dozen such swings, some only few weeks or

3 years; TO be exact % years and eight months.
Some of his weather predictions have been
startling. He had told the l.. s Weather Bureau
that on 175 definitely named days in 1913, II was
going TO rain in Washington, and the amount of
rainfall would be 166 per cent Of the normal The
actual amount of rainfall 15S per cent Of the
normal.
Once he had told army officer that during
a three-month period the rainfall in The Tennessee
Valley would be 81 TO 81 per cent Of the normal.
