A FASCINATING SPORT.
The Hold Aviation Takes on Thos>
Who Have Ever Tried Il.

The Hold Aviation Takes on Those
Who Have Ever Tried Il.
Flying is a sport that truly exem-
plifies one Of the greatest Darwinian
theories. Only the fttest survive. It
taxes ones physical resources. It
makes tremendous demands upon
ones nervous assets. It sharpens
ones intellect 1t develops ones fac
ulty Of judgment. It demands the
very best q man Of the best type can
bring to 1t. The better the man. the
better the aviation sportsman. For
this very reason the sport has attract
ed men Of the finest type that have
ever indulged In sport. It is for this
very reason that the world has been
amazed at the high intellectual type
Of human that has embarked in this
activity. For this reason call it tho
kngliest Of sports.
No one who has ever down an aero
plane can BE- induced to abandon It
utterly. The craving to fly will sur
vlve with the man who has thrilled in
response to the sensation Of driving
his own craft. The strange, Wild. al
most uncanny, exhilaration Of rushing
through the air like bird cannot be
put into words by q clumsy architect
Of sentences like the present writer
1t takes a poet like D'Annunzio to tell
the story properly.-Clnord B. Har-
mon In Country Life In America

W SHINGTON.-Steam shovels are
W eating their way into the birth
place Of Nellie Custis. granddaughter
Of Mrs. George Washington and ward
and adopted daughter Of Washington.
For years tho shovels have been bit
ing trainloads OF yellow clay out OF
the fields of Abingdon-as this estate
was named by John Parke Gusts, son
Of Mrs. Washington-and this clay
has been nodded and baked into brick
for the upbuilding of Washington city.
Year by year the shovels have dug
nearer to the old and battered frame
house where the most popular woman
OF the late revolutionary and the early
republican eras came into the world
and where her childhood was spent.
Now the deep clay pits are but few
yards from the house and probably
not many months will pass when the
house will be no more. The clay ex-
hausted and the level of the fields re-
duced about thirty feet. the place may
be converted into railroad yards by
the Washington Southern railroad-
the Washington-Richmon line.
Abingdon was a great estate. but
the house was never a noble bit OF
building. according to an exchange.
When John Parke Custis married Nel-
lie Calvert Of Maryland he seems to
have caused the erection Of this am

structure of her face and destroy the
fine texture of the skin," said Mrs
Margaret Holmes Bates, the we'll
known author, to a Chicago Journal
representative.

methods she risks losing her health, :"
she continued. A perfectly natural
method of treating a bad complexion
is by using ordinary mercoHzed wax; !;
this adds nothing to the complexion,
but removes it instead. This wax. OBJ

beautiful complexion thus obtained is

patched-up old complexion. This is one

piled at night like cold cream and
washed on in the morning.
