Magnifier Tells
Truth To Beauty

Severest critic and best friend
of a beauty is her magnifying
mirror. 1t tells her the truth in
larger-than-life size. This mer-
cilessly truthful friend also
guides a gals hand in more ex-
pert makeup.
Best way to catch minor flaws
before they become major prob
lens is to plant the magnifying
mirror in a cold north light.
Such a scrutiny may reveal, for
instance, any incipient lines
around eyes, mouth and nose
which call for more cream and
massage to halt their progress.
Any enlarged pores in need OF
astringent Tightening will also
be thrown into strong relief.
Struggling hairs that fuzz
clean line or film an upper liz
are amplified in his uncompro-
missing reflection. That's usual
ly all a girl needs to make her
grab her tWeezers.
A magnifier makes for great
er precision in pencilling eye
brows, applying eye shadow. As

BY BETTY CLARKE
Newsfeatures Beauty Editor

Seven out Of ten women nave
nc idea how to use eye makeup
or to enhance the beauty OF their
ewes. most experts agree. 1hls
may be due to the fact that
thew don't use makeup every
day and that when they do use
it for special occasions they
don't know how to go about 1t.
You must make up your eyes
SO that they really look refresh
ed, bright and sparkling, says
movie makeup expert Perc
Westmore. Here's what Mr..
Westmore suggests for better
eye grooming:
First apply foundation cream,
powder and lip rouge to face
and before applying the mas
cara, use a cotton sWab damp
ened with skin freshener to re-
move all traces of powder in the
crevices of the eyelid and at the
lash line, to restore eye-shadow
color.
If you have forgotten to ap-
ply eyeshadow after foundation
and before powdering, you may
use a cotton swab dampened
with skin freshener to remove
excess powder. Mix a small bit
of vegetable oil with your eye
shadow for ease of application
and then repowder.
Using a broad camel's hair
brush, apply eyeshadow. The
color is applied at the lash line,
outward from the center of the
lid. The tip of the little finger
is then used to blend it care
fully upward to the eyebrow
and outward. Eyeshadow should
always be used in minimum,
and never be used at the inner
corner of the eyelid.
When applying mascara Mr..
Westmore makes use of the
"quarter LASH method of ap-
plication. Mascaraeis applied
lightly over the inner three
quarters of the eyelash, then as
the corner of the upper lid is
lifted, it is applied more heavi-
ly on the outer one-quarter for
a more subtle effect.
Never acquire the theatrical
eye-makeup look by using a
line around the eyes for street
wear or gobs more mascara
than is necessary.
An easy way to apply mas
cara is to drop a cube of sugar
into a small glass of water, al
low it to dissolve and use the
mixture to dampen your mas
cara brush. Westmore advises
that waving lotion, also may be
used in the same manner.
If eyelashes look droopy after
you apply mascara, IS a lash
curler to get a nice lustrous
sweep of fringe around your
eyes.

|nverchapeI Speaks
Al William and Mary
BY the Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Feb. 10
Citing the British Commonwealth
and Empire as "one of the great
forces for liberty, peace and prog
ress in the world" Lord Inverchapel,
the British Ambassador, declared
here today, "They give us a living
example Of how the first venture
towards a United Nations can sue
ceed If there Is the will to make 1t
so."
The Ambassador gave the principal
address at the 254th charter day
convocation of the College of Will
liam and Mary, at which Colgate w.
Darden, jr., former Governor OF
Virginia, was installed as chan
cellor.
Lord Inverchapel first told of a
previous visit he made to this area
nearly 40 years ago when, as secre-
tary to James Bryce, then British
Ambassador, he accompanied him to
Jamestown where Mr.. Bryce spoke
at the 300th anniversary of the
founding of the first English colony
in Virginia.
Referring to the principle of trus-
teeship which has been written into
the United Nations Charter he said
that Edmund Burke first expounded
the idea in 1785 to the British House
of Commons.

Rent Boost Hearings
For Fairfax Village
SET March II 10 II

The District Rent Control Admin
istration announced today that
hearings would be held between
March II and 27 on petitions of the
Realty Management Corp. for an
approximate. 10 per cent increase in
the rents of 1876 units making up

eighth street Sc.
In petitions filed by the corpora
ton last week increases ranging be-
tween SIS and $3.50 a month were
asked.
Rent Administrator Robert Cogs-
we'll said that because of the large
number of units involved it will be
necessary to hold four separate
hearings, based on the number of
rental groups in the development
Accordingly, hearings have been
scheduled for March IT, 20, Is and n
A spokesman for the corporation
said rents now range between $45
and SGT month.
Meanwhile, the Washington chap

Another note to Mr.. Truman
said: "If I were President I would
refuse to accept more wages than
my Office sweeper as I believe the
only way to prove I love my neigh
Dor as myself is to give him the
same wages for the Same hours OF
work"
Most Ideas Are Sound.
A North Carolina worker took
the following line of reasoning to
justify cash award. He was a
skilled worker, and skilled workers
started at $1,000 a year. He had
worker for the Government as an
unskilled worker at $500 for four
years. The Government therefore
saved $4,000 on his wages during

From 13 to 20 per cent OF the
suggestions are eventually put into
operation, Mr.. Donaho said.
Oficials at Government depart
ments, even those where cash
awards had been previously given,
agreed the presidential notice would
stimulate employe suggestions.
At the Post Office Department,
where noncash award program has
been in operation since 1943. an offi-
cial said so more suggestions had
been received in January than the
pervious month. Suggestions here, he
added, are rarely applicable to other
Government agencies since they
were mainly operational ideas for
the postal service.

Federal Workers Spued Cash Awards Flood Uncle Sam With Their Advice

One suggestion. which was re-
iected, might interest Washington
residents anxious to get rid of the
starlings, the official observed. Birds
at Ascension Island in 1914 would
roost on the air strip in such num-
bers that planes could not land
or take off. Jeeps with large brushes
attached were used to brush them
away. An employe suggested the in
stallation of a generator ito give
of sound In a frequency range OF
20 kilocycles," the theory being that
the birds would not like the noise
and keep away.
The idea was examined by civilian
electrical engineers in the United
States and zoo experts. The engi-
neers did not know whether sound
annoying to the birds could be gen.
Grated, and the experts were not
sure the birds would be annoyed.

Planned Parenfhood
Groups Open Drive
For Clinic Funds

The Planned Parenthood Associa-
ton of the District and the Mont
gomery County Planned Parenthood
League today opened campaigns for
funds, in conjunction with the
Nationwide drive for $2,000,000 by
the Planned Parenthood Federation
Of America.
The funds will be used to expand
the federation's clinical and re-
search program. The goal of the
District is $4,000 and in Montgom-
cry $1,000.
Chairman of the District drive is
DR.. Prentiss Wilson, 2940 Albemarle
street NV. In Montgomery County,
Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet,
United States Coast Guard, retired,
and Mrs. Frederick w. FRANKIE will
head the campaign.
.Clinics are maintained at 715 E
street S.W., the Suburban Hospital
Bethesda, and the health center,
Rockville. At these clinics, needy
married women, referred by other
health agencies or physicians, may
receive family planning assistance.
A total of 4,781 patients were ad-
vised at the District clinic last year.
The Montgomery County League
shares with the Maryland League
the services of a director with medi-
cal social work training and expert
ence. Cooperating with other
agencies, the league has helped pro-
vide marriage counseling through
ministers, physicians and social
workers.
Child spacing for more stable fam
lilies has the approval of the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, according to the Mont

men last fall signed a resolution
calling for wider use of planned par
enthood services, according to the
league announcement.

charge of volunteer workers, and
Mrs. C. Leslie Glenn, 2707 Thirty

that period. This, he felt, entitled
him to an award.
John Donaho, staff member In
charge of work simplification and
employe suggestions at the Bureau
of the Budget, said most OF the
ideas are sound ones. He explained
some Government agencies-such as
the War and Navy Departments
already had cash awards for val
liable employe suggestions. The
Presidents authorization is new In
widening the provision to all Gov
ernment agencies.
Suggestions applicable only to an
individual agency are passed on
there, Mr.. Donaho explained. Ideas
that may be worked on broader
scale are sent to the Bureau OF the
Budget, which acts as q sort OF GEN.
