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.

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.

Larger Civilian
Meat Supply Seen
For End of Year
WASHINGTON, June 8 (UP)
Agriculture department slide rule
experts today promised civilians
three pounds more meat per per
son during the last three months
of this year. That's 390,000,000
pounds altogether.
The average civilian may ex
peet about 120 pounds as his meat
quota for the entire year 1945.
The agrciulture department made
this forecast on the basis of pros
pective production and alloca
tions. Here is how the average citizen
probably would see his share di
vided (if he got his fair share):
January, February, March, 32..')
pounds; April, May, June 28
pounds; July August, Septem
ber, 28.7 pounds; October, No
vember, December 31.7 pounds.
The current consumption rate
not only is the lowest for the
year but is the lowest on record.
Last year Americnns ate meat at
the average rate of 150 pounds,
the highest in history.
A 2,000,000,000 pound reduction
in meat output accounts for part
of the drop. Higher non-civilian
requirements accounts for the
lest.
