any person robbing an ~automobilist on
any public highway. 1t is stated that
the reward offered by the association

ker. OF Philadelphia, who, according to
the evidence adduced at the trial, was

rest of Diamond as he was about to
pawn a gold watch which he had
taken from Dumas at the point of a
revolver.
Special Officer Harrington OF the
Philadelphia force testified as to the
attempt Diamond had made on his life
in the pawnbroker's shop. He said
that before he had time to lay hands
on Diamond the latter turned with
agility and pressed the muzzle
Of the revolver against his lip, ana at
the same time Pawnbroker Cohn lean
ed over his show case and brought a
night stick down on the
head with a force that felled
him senseless to the floor.
Diamond, who claims that he is only
t~wenty-one years old, is an educated
negro and SPEAKS both French and
English 1uently.

Peeling the Face
(From Modern Housekeeping. }.

Women are beginning to realize how

the painful and expensive surgica!
operation known as face -peeline. ."
Many clever society women noted for
their exquisite beauty, accomplish the
desired result themselves at home,
with perfect safety and no pain, ex-
pense or detention indoors. They
simply use ordinary mercolized wax,
which can be obtained at almost any
drug store. 1t Is applied at night like
cold cream and washed off in the
morning. The mercolized wax slowly
absorbs the half-dead outer skin,
causing it to fake off day by day in
fine, almost imperceptible particles like
-four. The fresh, vigorous young skin
underneath soon shows forth, bloom
ing radfantly with health and beauty,
The face begins to look years young
