Interesting Faces Better in Movies " Than Pretty Ones. Atlanta, Ga. (U.R) Girls who are only pretty don't get far in Hollywood, Clarence Sinclair Bull, top glamor photographer, says and he ought to know. Bull, one of Hollywood's lead ing " still photographers, said "really pretty faces just don't seem to last" in the movie mecca. "It's the interesting faces," he added, "that folks remember." As the manager of Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer's still photograph department, Bull has had plenty of opportunities to focus on love ly faces. In the Bull album of greats were Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Elizabeth Taylor, -Lana Turner, and Debbie Reynolds. Out of all those big name stars he picked Jean Harlow as the most photogenic. "She photo graphed well from any angle," he said, "needed little make-up and had the most perfect lips I've ever seen." Garbo, he said, "had the big gest inferiority complex" of any body he ever knew. She "was wonderful with people she knew, but froze when a stranger came on the set." Bull, currently on a national tour, has won six academy awards for photographic work. Some stars, he said, have phys ical faults that must be touched up or are temperamental to work with. He hastened to add that others were pleasant and cooper ative. In that class he put Esther Williams, Debbie .Reynolds and Pier Angeli. Try oatmeal as a thickener for soups.

Arts, Crafts Program for Blind Reactivated in Jackson County An arts and crafts program for the visually handicapped of Jackson county is being reactivated in Medford, and the first meeting was held in the courthouse auditorium Thursday after noon. The class is being sponsored jointly by the Oregon Com mission for the blind and the Jackson county chapter, American Red Cross.

There are about 135 resi dents of the county who are totally blind or have severe vis ual handicaps, according to Mrs. Thompson.

(Brainerd photo) Fabric Finishes May Deceive, Says Specialist Pullman Be sure the beauty of that new fabric you buy is not only finish deep. Mrs. Marjorie Lusk, extension clothing specialist at Washing ton State college, points out that a finish cannot turn an inferior fabric into a good one. The fabulous new finishes coming on the market, she says, may tend to keep buyers from taking a good look at the fabric itself. And that would be a mis take for anyone who buys on a budget. As for the finishes, Mrs. Lusk says that magic in the labora tories can now make cotton look like silk, wool fabrics wash like cotton, and transform a smooth, shiny rayon fiber into a fabric that rivals wool in appearance and warmth. 'Even the most marvelous of the new finishes, however, cannot produce a fab ric that can be all things for all purposes. And jiot one of the finishes can transform a shoddy fabric into a durable piece of material. What's more, the new finishes increase the cost as they all re quire extra expense for labor, equipment and materials. ' One company that produces a compound to make a fabric flame resistant figures that the treat ment would make a yard of a sheer fabric cost 2 or 3 cents extra. If it's a heavy fabric, how ever, the cost might go up 25 or 30 cents a yard. A special finish may be worth the extra cost, of course, if it makes a good fabric serve its purpose better, or-cuts down the time; energy and money needed to keep it looking good. The important thing to re member in buying fabrics, the WSC specialist says, is to be sure both fabric and finish are dur able and will look good long after the first laundering. Use baking soda- to remove starch stuck to an iron. Rub the iron with a damp cloth sprinkled with the soda, after the iron is disconnected and cool. The soda will not scratch the highly-polished surface. Original Girls, we can fit you now! We're very sorry a lot of ; you couldn't be fit because our stock of Spaldings has been so low.
