Max Factor, jr., has given spe-
|cial thought to the problems Of
the woman past very early youth.
When it comes to makeup he
warns against too brilliant, harsh.
brittle or exotic effects. AS spe-
Icific example he gives the slanty-
eye effect which is achieved by
lcriss-crossing pencil marks at the
corner Of the lids.
The makeup bases and powders
should be matched carefully to
the skin tones. If your color needs
stepping up a bit lean toward
the pink or peach shades. He feels
that most middle-aged women
need rouge but this should be
blended so that there is no def
mite outline of rouge. It should
be applied to the full part Of the
Icheeks and then diffused. Softer
shades Of lipstick should be used.
He warns over and over again
that the price you must pay for
elegance is immaculate grooming
This means that every single
stray hair must be plucked from
the brows or the chin, that your
Hip rouge must be meticulously
applied with lipstick brush, that
you must blot and brush excess
powder OF, that excess hair on
arms or legs must be removed,
THAT hair must be neat though
attractive, that nails must be
lgiven the greatest attention and
that all Of the essential rules of
cleanlineSs as to hair and COM
lplexion and clothes must be car
ried out faithfully.
He said,. "Any campaign to look
and feel more youthful begins and
ends with clothes a la mode. :"
That means, he explained. Cur
rent fashions which are new and
Of the moment and Of the times.
These are bound to make the
woman wearing them look dy-
manic and youthful. Nothing
makes a woman look so dated,
no matter how young she is, as
yesterdays outmoded clothes"
This expert added, because
she is 40 or more and has dignity
as well as taste, this woman will
know that the simpler the styles
the better she will look in them.

official that in 1916 Vaughan de-

When Vaughan finally took the
witness stand he made a blanket

still has his White House job. In
their report, the investigators
made no direct charges against
him, but commented hat "There

significant part of his hearing was
the picture it gave of a common

with the government.
Father Peter Hewko, one Of the
bilked churchmen, freely admitted
that Mason told him church funds
were to be used as ''sewer money

to secure leases on government

"I asked him many, many times,

said, definitely, everything is or

Through Senate hearings, the
nation learned for the first time
how the influence peddlers operat-

in high places to obtain govern

The hearings presented a case

were papered with autographed
photos of important Washington

But more than that, they gave a
tantalizing picture of operations
in and around the White House by
a colorful pair-Maj Gen. Harry
Vaughn, President Truman's mill
tary aide, and John Maragon, a
former Kansas City bootblack who
entered upon a career as Wash
ington fixer.
The story began in 1915 when
Vaughan helped David Bennett, a
perfume maker, get a priority to
fly to Europe and back in the
midst of the war in order to pur-
chase perfume oils.
When Bennett returned, he
gratefully sent food freezer lock-

NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (lNS)-
Way back thirty to thirty-five
years ago, before radio was per-
fected, almost everyone in the
United States could read. ct was
even taught in schools.)
In those days, a great many
persons even enjoyed reading a
loud, an art lost for sure in this
era. And a passel of people liked
to listen, another lost art circa
81.
Whole families sat down around
the living room stove after supper
and didn't do anything but just
listen while one of their number
read aloud.
Grandma and Papa were the
great readers in our family.
Grandma liked Scott, Dickens and
a touch Of EDEN. Southern. And
Papa favored the Iliad, The Ody-
ssey, Morte D'Arthur, the National
Geographic, MI. Dooley, Longfel-
low, and a book about an artful
rapscallion called "Get Rich Quick
Wallingford."
The grown-ups got enjoyment
and the young 'uns, without realiz-
ing it, got educated.
But reading aloud, since the adj
vent Of radio, much less TV, is
such a novelty that a talented act
or like Charles Laughton can tour
the nation, charging a fancy price
and filling any hall, just for read
ing aloud to people.
This r~e-discovery Of reading is
apt to make Mr.. Laughton one Of
the richest actors alive, such is the
fascinating novelty Of having a
live performer stand up in front
of an audience and read lines out
Of a book.
Mr.. Laughton made this artistic
and financial discovery during the
war when he went to veterans
hospitals and read aloud to ill and
wounded men. At first, people
thought the pleasingly plump the
spian had gone off his noggin.
But veterans ate up his perform
ancA and begged for more.
The actor discovered that people
were hungry to hear the beautiful
words locked in the bible and the
classics. They wanted to hear them
aloud, just as men and women had
heard them read in their family
circle for generations.
So pretty soon the English-born
actor (now an American citizen),
started touring the country, read
ing to civilians and charging them
plenty for the privilege Of listen
ing. And the point is, they pay
with pleasure and rush in droves
to hear him.
This brings up us to date and
into New York, where Mr.. Laugh.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5. - The in
crease in beef prices has turned
the eyes of many housewives to
pork, poultry and fish.
That was brought out today
in an Associated Press survey of
major cities.
The survey also raised but
did not answer-the question of
whether the long climb in general
prices had left consumers with
a lowered resistance.
The survey indicated there was
little complaining in the first few
days of trade under the new beef
ceilings.
'Numbing Effect Seen.
Butchers in Washington, for
instance, reported very little
grumbling and few comments of
any kind from customers. One
meat cutter there philosophical:
High prices undoubtedly have
had numbing effect"
One of the biggest chains in
New York City noted increased
price resistance only in the poorer
neighborhoods.
when people want beef they
will pay the price until it gets too
high, and then they will sacrifice
on other grocery items to buy
beef" said an Indianapolis butch
er.
Supplies of beef in retail out
let's in the II large cities that were
checked ranged from scarce to
ample.
But there is plenty OF other
ma1n-dish food on hand. The
decline in the supply of beef CO.
incides with the start of the fall
season of plenty in pork.
Washington reported a heavy
run on poultry, fish and pork.
Trends Elsewhere.
There were similar trends in
some other communities.
A woman buying for a family of
five in Seattle, Wash. scanned the
price lists and said:
Little by little we are being
driven to pork diet"
A meat operator in an exclu-
sive residential area of Denver
summed up consumer reaction
this way:
Most women don't know the
prices they used to pay for meat
in comparison with what they're
paying now. But they have been
reading in the newspapers and
hearings on the radio that beef
prices are high.

beef. We never have sold as much

now"

they can in Washington.
The experience of three agencies

strate that those agencies, ct least,
did not operate as well when they
were moved away in World War H.

The Budget Bureau. which has
the job of planning the decentral-
ization, says that the agencies to
be moved out are being taken
from those lists.
That does not leave in any
happier state of mind some Of the
employees of offices slated for re-
