Will Sponsor Contest In May Prize To Be Two Weeks At Sketch Camp; Details, To Be Announced Later The University Art Exchange, lo- cated in the League, is planning a contest to offer two weeks free tui- tion and living expenses at the Mich- igan Sketch Camp to any student now enrolled in the University who submits the best work of art com- pleted during the spring semester of this year. Only work done in water color, pencil, pastel, or block printing will be judged in the contest. The re- quirements offthecontest will be published in full at the beginning of the spring semester. The contest will terminate in the second week of May, exact date to be announced later. Judging will be done by a committee selected by the Art Ex- change. The Michigan Sketch Camp is lo- cated about 15 miles north of Har- bor Springs in the northern part of the lower peninsula on the shores of Lake Michigan. The site is heav- ily wooded and its natural beauty is great. Saturday, Aug. 13 is the opening date of the camp. There will be two periods of two weeks each with the closing on Friday, Sept. 14, the dates planned so that students who wish to attend summer school in Ann Ar- bor will also be able to attend the camp before school opens in the fall. Attendance will be limited to about 30 or 35 people interested in art work. Daily classes in drawing and painting will comprise part of the camp program. The purpose of the Sketch Camp is to give the members an uninter- rupted opportunity to draw and paint with expert aid from well-known artists. Mrs. Martha G.

Value And Dangers In Use Of Cosmetics Revealed In Report, Although most cosmetic products are harmless enough, there has crept' into use an occasional beauty prod- uct, the use of which may be highly dangerous, said an official report of the University Health Service re- leased yesterday. Such products cannot be too strongly condemned, especially in consideration of the phenomenal growth and use of cosmetics during recent years, largely caused by ex- tensive advertising through the pub- lic press, magazines and radio pro- grams. Cosmetic creams may be classified in three types as follows: cold creams, finishing or foundation creams, and those of the absorption type or tissue creams. The selection of any particular type of cream is dependent entirely on the needs of the individual skin. A particularly objectionable cream is the freckle remover sold for beau- tifying the face, removing freckles and moth patches. These freckle removing creams often contain as the active agent, ammoniated mer- cury. The use of such cream is dan- gerous and many cases have been re- ported in medical literature of severe cases of dermatitis resulting from their .use. On the other hand, cold creams and cleansing creams may be used to cleanse the skin, they being suit- able agents for the removal of sur- face waste as powder and rouge. The quality.of the article, however, is in no relationship to the price some- times asked for it. Recently a qual- itative analysis showed a particular brand of expensive cleansing cream to consist of cotton-seed fat and vaseline, perfumed with synthetic oil of rose. Creams of the cold and cleansing type consist of a high oil content with sufficient hardening agents such as wax to give it stiffness. The in- corporation of a small amount of water is of value, as the emulsion so produced cleans s more effective- Sly Finishing and foundation creams are used extensively as powder bases and to protect the skin from irrita- tion. The common types used are made up of a large percentage of water, glycerine and soap. Some types are quite alkaline, and un- doubtedly have a drying effect on the skin. Recent experimentation has shown that it is possible to produce creams of this type which are non- alkaline and quite safe to use. Tissue creams, though not a re- cent development, are being exten- sively advertised, claiming to be "re- juvenating" gnd "nourishing" in ef- fect. Such claims cannot be sub- stantiated by act and are mislead- ing. These ciieanms are like cold creams with varying amounts of lanolin added to increase absorp- tion. Such creams may be useful if the skin is unusually dry and harsh. The use of some cosmetic creams certainly has a legitimate place. They may have a softening, emollient and cleansing effect on the skin, but the chief objections lie in the extrava- gant and often ridiculous claims made by the manufacturer together with the skin damage which results from the use of some of them.
