cording to local boosters. Plans
for three more large resort spas
are in the making, with present
building controls as perhaps the
only barrier to opening within the
next few years.
Meanwhile. motels have been
dotted around the countryside.
The total has reached 100 in the
Las Vegas vicinity, and some offer
special recreational facilities and
dining rooms.
Emergency in Casinos-In pre-
senting the areas cIaim to SUM-
shiny fame. Las Vegas boasts that
the rainfall averages only 5 inches
a year and that the suns vitamin
rays shower on the desert and
its inhabitants 80 per cent Of
the daylight hours. The arrival
of the press party happened to
fall in the other l per cent.
The downpour that accompanied
it's arrival began to build up miles
away, when passengers were look
ing forward to an air view OF
Arizonas famed Grand Canyon.
TWA flights generally span the
colorful chasm at its most i'm
pressive point. With this i'm
posing spectacle only about is
minutes away, the pilot announced
that clouds would force him back
to a flying altitude of $4,000 feet.
No break in the dark underlayer
allowed view of this natural
wonder. which pulls hundreds OF
thousands of tourists annually
from all points Of the compass.
Instead, the clouds packed storm,
and later the red-hot exhaust
pipes of the planes engines lighted
up driving snow.
The landing was in a heavy
rain. welcomed by Las Vegas
5000 population. The previous
rain was recorded in the late
summer. This one managed to
wipe out the advantage of being
within 20 miles or so of a gener-
ating plant that produces more
power than Niagara Falls and
Muscle Shoals combined-the in
land sea of Lake Mead and its
CO. -story-high Hoover Dam. Guests
had scarcely been distributed
among the five hotels before the
highways rainbow of neon signs
and all other city lights died.
The incident was trivial, but it
happened to point up to visitors
the precautionary system designed
to protect the gambling casinos.
There was complete darkness in
the Desert Inns spacious gam
bling room when the lights failed,
but only for moment. An
emergency lighting system went
into play, shining ceiling lights
on each table and among the bat
terry of slot machines.
The casinos ever-present State
inspector, with a six-shooter in a
holster strapped to his thigh,
whirled away from a cigar counter
conversation and coursed through
the tables. his sharp eyes rowing.

Travellers Notebook

Nothing unexpected happened
the players kept on winning and
losing money.
Pastime Purely Optional - Las
Vegas, naturally, has built up a
philosophy about the States
gambling. The fundamental tenet
is that visitors may take it or
leave it alone; it's legal and it's
there If they want it. Is it there!
Hotel casinos. step or two

the first sight to greet the eye;
downtown. huge and brilliant
signs on the gambling halls light
up Fremont street SO we'll that

street corner from dark to dawn.

State, county and city supervise

inspectors in each place. FIRE.
quently they plant themselves by
the crap tables or roulette wheels
to assure themselves that things
are running right. Should it hap
pen, 1t is said they can detect a
short-change of a single chip in
a stack halfway across the room.
The slot machines in one place
on Fremont street have the repu-
tation OF being the most kindly in
town. Ordinarily, according to
the talk visitors hear, the devices
accepting bets" of from a nickle
to silver dollar are set to pay off
on about a 60-40 ratio. This one
place is reputed to pay on an
85-15 basis.
Across the street stands an un-
lighted club. The explanation for
its inactivity runs like this: An
employe of another casino went in
to play. His experience helped
him build up to a point where his
return, if he won, would be more
than 100000. He won, but the
casino argued about paying. Au-
thorities closed the club immedi-
ately. and have kept it closed.
Much to Miss-Make no mis-
take about a Las Vegas vacation.
Dormant or lively. the instinct to
gamble will be constantly nudged.
Those who cannot tolerate the
sight of free and easy tits with
Lady Luck would be happier to
skip Nevada.
They will miss town where
name stars of the entertainment
world perform nightly in the
elaborate dining rooms of the
hotels and clubs, miss the fun of
an outing on the shores and on
the waters of Lake Mead; the vista
across the pool and into the purple
mountains from the Desert Inns
breakfast room; the Old West
museum of Last Frontier Village,
with its prairie schooners. me-
chanical pianos and shining bar
with Klondike history.
And, of course, they will miss
the handy little booklet that tells
how to play such tantalizing
games as craps. 81, race horse

standby. poker. It's free to all
Las Vegas visitors.

Why Grow
OId2
BY Josephine Lowmon

@. II need your help. cannot
seem to find the correct hair style.
My face is small and thin. Also,
what colors in makeup shoulds I
use? ! have chestnut brown hair,
blue eyes and a fair complexion.
My mouth is small, my eyes are
large"
A. The clear reds are for you.
Since your face is thin you should
have fullness and softness at the
sides. with a low top. However.
since you say your face is small
be sure that you do not keep too
much hair. This would be over
powering to a small face. Have
hair well cut-and shaped, leaving
|softness at the sides. Do not use
much makeup on the eyes but en-
phasiZe the lips by pulling the
natural lipline out a bit-making
the lips a little fuller than normal.
@. please answer this. I have
been shampooing my hair with
facial soap. Does this leave the
hair dry and cause the hair to
split?"
A. There are so many different
kinds OF facial soap that ! cannot
advise you, but why use facial
soap on the hair when there are
$50 many wonderful shampooS?
Plain castillo soap is good for the
hair. A vinegar rinse afterward
is an aid to scalp health.
@. II should like to know how
Ia woman with a short neck and
ia full face should wear her hair,
I never see hair styles which are
becoming to my type"
A. The woman with q short
neck should not wear her hair
long. On the other hand she
should have hair fullness behind
the ears. This should be tapered
down; no square effect. Have the
hair close to the sides of the head
and high or fluffy on top.
@. 1.-The water in the commu-
nifty I live in is so hard that I
wonder if there is any way to
soften it. If so. is this very high
Ipriced?"
A. There are water softeners on
the market. They are not expen-
Isive. Many authorities in skin
and hair care feel that soft water
lis a boon in keeping the hair and
complexion beautiful.
@. What causes the eyelids to
be dry and what can do to over
come this condition."
A. The skin underneath the
eyes and on the lids is very thin
and sensitive. If the lids puff for
any reason; poor health, not
enough sleep, crying. eye strain or
allergies, this makes them look
dried. Check these possibilities.
Pat a good eye cream on the lids
each night and use a little dab of
cold cream on them in the day.
time. This gives an attractive
sheen anyway.
