Easy Does It, Is Best Sun Tan Protect eyes from glare while tun-bathing By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer Give yourself two weeks in which to build a tan by brief daily exposure, and the rewards tor your patience will be a love lier sun-drenched color and a skin tolerance that will . protect you later on during your un locked sessions out-of-doors. For the iirst two weeks of woo ing the sun, no person can call your daily cues on timing, since every skin loads differently. A safe general rule to follow, how ever, is to begin with an eight minutes' all-over exposure. Two minutes per side, if you're fair and sensitive; twice that amount if you take more of a tan than a burn. Thin gradually step up your exposure to a maximum five minutes per side, per-day; 10 minutes, it you're the. type who can take.it Choost Your Spot Best way to do it up brown is to use a protective sun lotion, cream of oil which by filtering out harmful rays that burn, and admitting friendlier rays that tan act as a chemical parasol spread over your skin.. A tannic type lotion, said by its makers JOKE BACKFIRES The prank backfired when Marine Pvt. AnsBimo Como, domed a pair of spectacles taken from a dead Jap and grinned a toothy smile on Peleliu island. The ma rines were taking no chances, so they made him a prisoner, hustled him off to a stockade and kepi him caged with real Jap prisoners despite his pro tests. He got out only when his own captain identified him. President Will Honor Eisenhower WASHINGTON, June 8 (UP) President Truman will give a White House dinner for Gen. Dwight D.

Mir. i newt . , , Free from political Flint in ismptt topin I of Tkf CbritHtn ititntt I tritt ibir4KMk i - I W.I II Rule to be the most popular choice of PX customers in southern thea ters of war, is liked by the boys because it is non-greasy on the skin, does a virile job of tunning and minimizes the effects oi burning rays. ' ' Put your pioleelive preparation on every inch of exposed skin. Then be choosey about picking your spot in the sun. Experts sny you tan quicker near the water or if - you settle on any white area painted porch,, sheet stretch of sand where reflected glare is intensified. But glare lhat can hasten a tan can also witck havoc with your eyes and cause trouble ull down the line. So don't go into the sur. without the protective shield of dark glasses or pads of cotton made into opaque folds, which block any ptnei ration of light. .. Suntime to. avoid, if your skin is sensitive all you can hope to acquire is a rosy flush, is that two-hour interval between noon and 2 p.m., when rays are direct ly overhead and , most intense. Best time for you would be dur ing the forenoon . when the sun is climbing, or after 3 p.m., whe.i its strength begins to wane. markets Rails Spark Sharp Wall Street Gains NEW YORK, June 8 (UP) Approval by the interstate com morce commission of Alleghany corporation's railroad empire touched off a buying movement in rail shares today that sent the group to a new high for more than eight years.
