BARE FACTS ON BEACH BEAUTY
BY BETTY CLARKE
AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor

Once upon a time there was a
little girl who decided she'd like
TO get her suntan overnight. I'm
sure you know what happened to
the little dear. She was practic-
ally burned to a crisp.
Most of us make the mistake
Of trying to devour the sun in one
big gulp. But it should be thought
of as nice big fireball that can
only be chewed off in little bites.
We wouldn't climb in ovens
and brown ourselves under the
broiler in order to keep warm.
So why would we expect to take
all the heat the sun throws off
in one day? It can burn its way
through buildings to keep US
warm. so imagine what it can do
to delicate skin.
The only safe way of suntan-
ming is to set a sun-routine for
ourselves. If you can be out in
the sunshine each day, it will take
only week or two to get a nice
even tan. If you can't get out
each day, don't be greedy and try
to get your suntan all at once
on week-ends.
Fifteen minutes is fine for the
first day, increasing the time up
to a half hour or as minutes the
first week. That is, Of course, if
you use a suntan lotion which
affords some protection for your
skin.
s. Select your sun-tan lotion
wisely. If you haven't had exper-
fence with it, don't depend on if
to protect you in the sun for an
entire day. There are many good
lotions on the market. One which
has been accepted by the Com
mittee on Cosmetics of the Ameri-
can Medical Association is said
to filter out almost 90 per cent
of the burning rays, yet permit
ting go per cent of the tanning
rays to come through. 1t does not
contain iodine which might stair
clothing or blankets. But whether
you get that one or another that

you know to be good from ex-
perience of which is recommended
to you by another, take your sun
tanning in stride.
A bad burn can leave the skin
in horrible condition, for years.
Huge freckles will make their
appearance on the back, face and
arms. 1t can keep you out of the
sun for an entire season, and ruin
your zest for sunshine for years
to come.
After a session in the sun, rub
your skin with witch hazel. This
seems to help the tan grow tam

you feel nice and cool.

He surmised that Culmone should
have given Bold a chance to get a
second wind somewhere along the
way instead of hustling him the
full mile and sixteenth.
Bold's pacing might be different
Saturday with the old master,
Eddie Arcaro. in the saddle.
Among yesterdays Preakness
developments was the announce
ment that Jockey Ted Atkinson
would ride Big Stretch, instead of
Hall of Fame. his Derby mount.
Hall of Fame finished ninth in the
Derby, while Big Stretch, ridden
by Doug Dodson, wound up 18th.
Hedley Woodhouse is slated to ride
Hall of Fame Saturday.
Atkinson's switch promptly
Iperked up Big Stretch's stock for
the Preakness. It's interpreted to
mean that Big Stretch finally may
be ready to fulfill the promise with
which he wound up last years
racing.
With eight starters the gross
purse will be S110,O7O. Victory
