DelegatesRefuse
Ride In Patrol

LOS ANGELES~(ANP)~Echoes
of protests are still being heard
over the treatment of visiting delegates of the postal convention last
week, who resented transportation
provided them by the police department.

The transportation was scheduled to take a Memphis band delegation to a destination for a concert.
But on arrival of the _ vehicle,
which had all the appearance of a
patrol wagon, delegates refused to
enter.

The car was a vehicle used to
transport prisoners and at each
seat had provisions for handcuffs.
The driver of the car was seated
in a caged cab and was locked in.

TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION
MEETS

TUSKBGEE~ (ANP)~ The 12th
annual convention of the National
- Technical Association was held at
~Tuskegee Institute August 29-31.
After registering the delegates the
first business session was called to
order by President Richard C.
White, New York architect.,

Make-up is ~one of the most important sids to beauty that we
have, but even make-up has its
limifations, It should be used to
enhance beauty, but it can~t be. expected to paint 2 whole new face
on top of your own.

PLENTY OF SOAP

Here~s a good rule to remember.
Be lavish with your soap and water
and with your cleansing creams;
be sparing with your make-up.
And speaking of cleansing, never,
never go to bed without thoroughly
cleansing you face!! Many women
prefer a thorough soap an water
cleansing at night, followed by the
application of a smooth night
cream to help soften your skin
while you sleep. ek

When it comes tc make-up, be
sure to do it in a good light and
take time encuzh to do it carefully. More and more, women are
finding that they like a good
foundation cream or make-up base,
and there are many fine ones on
the market. If you uSe a cream
foundation, a cream rouge blends

best

Use very little of it, just a touch
on a finger tip, and smooth __ it
carefully into your cheeks, following the cheek-bone line, and blending the coloring so that it fades
out at the edges. |

POWDER IMPORTANT

The choice of a tone of powder
is very important. Look for) one
which olends with ard enhances
your own skin coloring. Some girls
like two shates~a darker one: for
the first coat, and a final brushing
of a lighter tone for the second
application. |

In powdering, and in applying
your powder base too, be sure to
cover the neck and under the chin
as well as your face.

Next comes your eye make-up.
First, brush the powdcr from eyébrows and eyelashes. Then, with a
sharp eyebrow pencil. accent the
natural curve of the eyebrow line
with short strokes.

Never run a hard line through
the eyebrows, for this gives an un-.
pleasantly harsh and artificial effect. Eyelashes can be made to
appear longer and thicker by 24

Have Yourself
Some Fun Is
Sue's Advice

Dear Sue Leaf:

I have been reading your column
for quite a while and I am writing
you for advice. I am seventeen years
of age and I am in love with a
young man whom I shall call Bill.
We have been friends about three
years. We quit and go back together. Now we have quit again. I am
in this city for a few weeks and
he has been writing to me and he

going to be friends again. I won
der if he loves me and if we will

marry. ~
Bert. 4

You are much too young to be so
seriously in love with Bill. You
really ought to have so many other interests, such as clubs, parties
and friends that Bill would not
worry you. Think of all of the years
ahead of you to ~half lose your
mind~ over a fellow. Don~t go quarreling with Bill about trivie! matters.

Ifyou two cannot get along now,
there is no need to think of marrying him. I would suggest that you
have other friends and in making
new friends, you may find someone
you like even better than Bill.
Don~t get settled so soon in life.
Have yourself some fun and stop
worring.

Dear Miss Leaf:

I have been reading your column
each week and now I am coming
to you for you to help me if you
can.

I met Clarence one night and at
first sight, became Bn. fond of
him. He has taken me to the movies
several times but lgtely, he stopped coming to see me regularly but
whenever he does come, I let him
know that I am glad to see him.

I am tired of the way he is doing but I don~t want to let him
go altogether. What can I do to
make him love me or do you think
= rere sag about him and get

e else. It woul
much to do so. oe eed
Gertie.

Perhaps, you havé shown too
clearly that you like him. Clarence
may be like the general run of
fellows, after they find out that
you have fallen hard, they loose
interest. Why don~t you go out
eat psouge fellows and let him know

at he is not the onl
the beach. ge laden

Of course invite him to see you at
certain times instead of having him
drop in when the notion strikes
him. Let him: know that he does
not have a free run of your time.
I believe this method will help both
you and him and it will certainly
give you a chance to see what he
means to you on your part and on
his. By his reaction, you will be
able to know if you should drop
him altogether or keep dating him.
