I!ii United Press LONDON, Sept. 2,—A new substance for face powder is claimed to have been discovered by N. Ipgram Hendey, young retail chemist, who says the earth substance hitherto used only for chemical Alteration purposes makes a more ideal powder than the present ones which have rice and starch powder as their base. Hendley says the deposits which are a peaty substance known as Diatomaceaus earth, are found only near water (either salt or fresh), and that when dry, they form a very light and porous powder which is ideal for toilet use. MATCH CARS TO LINES Milady Must See Self in Mirror When She Buys Auto. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Women buyers are trying on new cars just as they try on hats and gowns, Nicholas Trott, motor expert, declares in the current Woman’s Home Companion. No sale can be made, Trott says, until a mirror is wheeled up so that the lady occupant can see how her ensemble matches with the color and dines of the car. “All agree,” says Trott, “that the American woman has the final choice in the selection of either her own car or that for the family. Body manufacturers are kept on the jump to suit the tastes of women who match cars to their costumes. CHARGED WITH ATTACK South Bend Man Accused Here of Assaulting Stepdaughter.

TREES ARE 'SUNBURNED’ Bark Suffers From Low Humidity, Bright Rays, Study Reveals. Bu United Press STAMFORD, Conn., Sept, 2. Scientists have known for a long time that trees eat, sleep, digest, freeze and strangle themselves after the manner of humans. Now comes forward the Bartlett Tree Research laboratories of this city to state that trees suffer from sun burn. "Sun scald,” as it is called, is caused by the direct wilting and drying out of bark tissues caused by excessive heat. Low humidity and the drying action of the wind contribute to the sunburn as well as the sun’s rays. RELIEF FOR COPPERS New Orleans Officers Allowed to Doff Coats, Suspenders.

The order added that coats and suspenders must go together. “We aren’t used to not wearing suspenders,” said one perspiring, squirming policeman.

Many of Lon Chaney s Makeup Secrets Go With Him to Grave

This l( the fifth installment In the eerie* af eix articles reveatinr the unusual life story of the late Lon Chaney. BY DAN THOMAS .NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1930. by NEA Service. Irc.) Hollywood, sept. 2.—when Lon Chaney's biggest pictures were being filmed his dressing room at the studio often looked more like a carpenter shop or the dissecting room of a medical college tMan anything else. Long-haired wigs .. . strange braces and jackets, meant to deform the body . . . glass eyes, of milky whiteness . . . lumps of putty for building up a nose or the cheek bones . . . human hair, to be clipped and glued to the face, in individual strands, perhaps for the straggling beard of a Chinese . . . face paints, wax, cold cream, face powder—and goodness only knows what else. It was a simple dressing room, with all the lack of flourish that marked the great actor’s private life. Just a long shelf with a mirror in the center, the brightest of electric lights converging at angles before it, a few drawers filled with odds and ends of his peculiar trade and all sorts of garish clothing, medieval robes, false, eyebrows and whatnot scattered around. Such was the workshop of the master character actor of the generation—the man who could change his face into a thousand others, a a a SOME of Chaney’s remarkable art in make-up was secret and will remain so, but a lot of it is known. Because ol his unusual ability along this line, ne was selected to write the article >n character makeup in the Encyclopedia Britannica. Every member of the theatrical profession knows the basic essentials. But the directions Chaney gave will prove of keen interest to every layman wh6 has watched this master of character impersonation on the screen and wonder how he achieved his grotesque and hideous makeups. a a a USE putty or plastic wax if you want to build up > the nose, heighten the cheek bones, or blot out the eyebrows. If you want to puff out the face —as he did in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”—cotton wool should be inserted between the teeth or in the cheeks. To achieve that baggy appearance under the eyes—and who doesn’t remember that hideous character in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”—you should put a little putty, cut into a crescent shape, paint it and fix it tight with spirit gum. The nose may be broadened—as was his as the greasy-faced Sergi in “Mockery”—by inserting the clipped end of a rubber cigar holder in each nostril. False teeth—like the jagged ones he wore as the vampire in “London After Midnight”—can be made by fitting dental rubber over the natural teeth, carving the sort of teeth wanted on this dental rubber and painting the whole with tooth enamel to make it glisten. a a a SCARS are easy to simulate. You merely brush on collodion, which draws the skin. If you want a deeper scar, apply a second coat of collodion. To remove, just put on a little more collodion, which will soften the earlier coats and permit them to peel right off. A false beard? The best are made with crepe hair, a little lighter than the natural hair. Just take a hank of it, comb well, press between the leaves of a book, cut off straight at the edge. Apply spirit gum to the face, attach the hairs and trim with scisssors to get the desired effect Gray hair? Starch or aluminum powder will do it. Aluminum powder is better, but much harder to wash off. To make a blonde of a brunet, use “polished brass” bronze powder, which is sold in paint stores. a a a SUPPOSE you want to play the part of a very old man. Apply a thin coat of putty to your face

and trace wrinkles thereon with a sharp-pointed instrument. But do not trace lines around the eyes, use paint of a little darker color, and where the face would sink most make the shadows darker. To look like a Chinese—as Chaney so adroitly did in “Mr. Wu”—use adhesive tape to draw back the corners of the eyes, thus giving an Oriental slant to them. Paint the eyebrows with an upward tilt, make slanting black lines downward from the inner corners of the eyes and upward from the outer corners to accentuate the slant. A black-face impersonation? Don’t use burnt cork; use medium brown grease paint instead. Cover the lips with “ground color” and build them up with cotton or false teeth in the mouth. Don’t use a wig; clipped hair, covered with a brown grease paint, is better. a a a y~\F course, all these color instructions are meant for movie actors—not for those on the stage. Colors often photograph differently from what they seem. For example, red, orange and brown photograph as black or nearly so. Blue, pink and yellow and mauve photograph as white. Therefore, a movie actor performing under the relentless eye of the lens, must be careful. Gold fillings in teeth appear as black specks, freckles stand out like a house afire and pinked cheeks become a dirty gray. Since blue photographs better, lots of stars use a makeup that appears almost purple. Women, especially, paint their upper eyelids green and thus they photograph as a light gray. A tint of red causes an offending double chin to melt into the shadow. a a a TO shade the eye, use blue or violet lining pencils for soft shadows. For the eyelashes, many women use mascara; a few, a heavy black grease paint. The nose, if broad, may be narrowed by drawing a high-light down the ridge with light paint. Be careful to shade with red at the' sides to determine the contour. To widen small nostrils, insert red around the edges; to narrow wide ones, high light the same way. Lips can be remade by reshaping with lip rouge. To enlarge a small mouth, extend the red beyond the

corner; to make a small mouth of a large one, do just the opposite. a a a SUCH are the fundamentals of the art that Lon Chaney left behind. But no one will—or can—really succeed him, Hollywood believes, because the exquisite technique that was Chaney’s died with him. The star whose reputation for facial makeup and character portrayal spanned the world has lots of imitators, but probably no successors. Like all men who are really great he was in a class by himself. NEXT: Chaney was one of a group of movie stars whose particular art died with them. Several successful flights with airplanes powered by outboard motors have been made recently.

CITY BUDGET IS ADOPTED WITH SI .10 TAX BATE Central Labor Union Asks Council Not to Cut Present Levy. Without opposition, city councilmen Monday night adopted the 1931 budget calling for a tax rate of sl.lO. Only one group was represented at the public hearing. This was from the Central Labor Union and members asked the council to retain the rate, which is the same as this year, in order to eliminate the possibility of city labor being thrown out of employment. The council, in a statement issued at the meeting, set out that in most instances department appropriations could not be sliced because such action would decrease operations to a point which would result in greater expenditures in the future. Action on an ordinance zoning Forty-ninth street opposite the Butler university fieldhouse for business was postponed. Another ordinance for licensing and regulating miniature golf courses also was postponed. An ordinance transferring SBOO to the safety board for operation of the city market refrigeration plant and another providing SSOO to the board for equipment at the city dog pound, were passed. A third brdinance passed, zones the west side of Illinois street from Thirty-eighth to Thirty-ninth streets for business.
