For that ^portrait look," she borrows a nique, brushing on her make-up. To apply rouge in this way, she touches the bristles of a soft brush to a cake of the shade best mitffd to her complin and costume, and then gently strokes her cheeks with the brush until the color is weu4>lended. In the same way, she applies, dry powder, using another soft brush reserved for just that purpose.

She prepares the sponge for this fresh-up task by nipping it in ice water and then squeezing it weU to eliminate extra moisture. A small bowl of water is stan '^rd dressing-table equipment for Ruth.

So when you want The army said today new testti, to film different areas in a vast starting in January; will be given gcene, take your finger off the exto draftees who have flunked preinduction mental examinations. The army said that up to July, 249,684 draft registrants had failed the armed forces qualification tests (AFQT), the written exam given all draftees and enlistees before they go into service. It is distinct from the deferment test recently given college students. Some of those who flunked qualification exams have now passed their 26th birthdays. But under an Interpretation of the new draft law by selective service^ F-F8 who were not yet 26 on June 19, 1951 can be ordered for a re-test by their draft boards even if now over 26. The new draft law, signed on that date, provides that those posure buttr-n as you move the camera tD take in the next part of the subject. Panoraming isn't a good idea in amateur movie-ma king because it is an unnatural way of looking at the scene. When your eyes survey 1 big scene they don't sweep icross it. You may gradually turn pour head to take in the whole view, but your eyes fasten on one spot until they're ready to go on, and then jump to the next point of interest, skipping over any duB area that may be in between. Since you want your movie screen to reflect a scene as you saw it. youll be better off shooting it that way. Why does panoraming make my JOHN ANGELE AUCTION J2D VOGEL, Auctioneer AIRY AT UCTION Having decided to quit farming, WILLIAM H. RUSSEL, Aact. movies Jerky J,™ "* fr;,8 rs n,tv' £ rr wm,°' question. The answer lies in the way the camera works. Most amateur movies are filmed at 16 frames per second. Tlvt means the film pauses that many times behind the lens while the shutter opens and closes. When you hold the camera still ir shooMng, this doesn't show on the screen because it happens so fast the object being photographed u, ir the same position in several successive frames. But when you start panning, the object is varied in its position relative to: the camera in successive frames. And that is what gives you eye strain and a film that isn't as good as it could have been. If you just have to pan with your camera--do it s-l-o-w and s-t-e-a-d-y, moving from the point of least interest to the peak--and never retracing the scene. --John van Guilde*'1' end of the year.

The army said the draft rejection rate for the year following the Korean outbreak was 35.1 per cent compared to a World War II rate of 22.7 per cent for the same 19 through 25 draft age groups. The AFQT tests alone accounted for 15.2 per cent of these rejections, the army said. The remaining rejections were for administrative reasons (one per cent), a combination mental and physical reasons (3.9 per cent) and neuropsychiatry (two per cent). 10.000 RENEWED STATE DRIVER LICENSES AT STATE FAIR SUN GLARE PROVES DRIVING HAZARD AT THIS TIME OF YEAR URGE MOTORISTS TO CONDUCT OWN SAFETY CAMPAIGN No. 1 Accident Killer Is Auto The automobile, one of the greatest conveniences of modern lifer has become through misuse the No. 1 accident killer for all age groups except infanta and the aged.

When the sun is low, drivers must be extra careful in watching traffic signals. Reflections on signal lenses, when seen in early morning and late afternoon, create an illusion that all three colors are aglow--red, amber and green. The hazard affects motorists driving Into the sun or directly away from it. When in doubt about a signal, stop. Even though the traffic light is perfectly distinct to you, the motor club adds, caution is advisable both at sunrise and sunset because the condition may affect traffic crossing your path. It is dangerous for you to drive through an intersection on the green light if another driver is affected by the sun glare and misinterprets his red signal. The sun-glare hazard is peculiar to late summer and early fall, the club reports. CROP PROSPECTS -Fall plowing for winter wheat is making progress throughout central and southern Illinois, ac cording to the weekly report of state and federal departments of agriculture. In many areas the ground is so dry and hard that plowing is difficult. Illinois corn is almost all tasseled and making steady progress. Soybean prospects are said 4o birAost promising, with 90 per cent of the fields having bloomed, and over 70 percent- podded. Farmers in northern Illinois have been baling straw following completion of the oats harvest, while in southern Illinois the threshing of redtop seed and combining sweet clover and timothy seed is going on. , Clean Game Beards #0 sticky finger marks on game toirds and woodea.tojrs used by children cause you trouble?

Barrett maintained at the Illinois state fair. Investigators for the automobile department of the Secretary of State's office estimated that more than 200,000 state fair visitors utilized the public service booth to obtain information relative to driver licenses, automobile titles and license plates. Secretary Barrett's miniature pntique automobile exhibit in the Illinois building attract&d more than 400,000 •* viewers, according to exhibit attendents. On Sunday, Aug. 12. Veterans' Day, an estimated 100,000 persons examined the miniatures. The exhibit comprised replicas of eleven early American automtJbiles, including a 1906 Brush, the original of which is owned by Secretary Barrett, a 1911 Maxwell and # 1909 Stanley Steamer. • » _ - Tha Vanishing Pick The current issue of Pathfinder magazine features an article on coal as one of our progressive industries. It says, "Today coal mining is the industry of the vanishing pick. Mules have disappeared. Giant long-bladed cutting machines slice into the coal face. Powerful pneumatic drills bore holes for blasting changes. Groping mechanical arms scoop up shattered chunks of coal, feed them into conveyor belts, or coal cars, which carry them to the surface. "Tonnage per man per day has jumped from less than three tons inl890 to nearly seven today. The miner has become a skilled technician, the mine an underground factory. Result: a progressive coal industry Is holding on to its markets and expanding." Our mines are able to produce 2.000,000 tons of coal every day. That's twice as much coal as all the mine-s in Western Europe produce-- and four times as much as is produced in Russia. In addition. the industry has made great strides in making mining safer. That is an achievement worth mentioning. Every motorist must conduct his own safety campaign as children begin returning to school, advises Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club.

Young children especially in the 5 to 9 age group are not familiar with the restrictions placed on them by traffic. After a summer spent lately within the confines of their own block, children are not aware of the dangers, at intersections. Motorists should also make turning motions at the lowest possible speeds at intersections used by school children in order to have cars under complete control at these danger points. Mr. Hayes warns that if traffic fatalities are to be held to * minimum during the school year, drivers must at all times yield the right-of-way to children.
