PRAISE FOR LATE COMMANDER
American Society of Naval Engineers
commends Former Alexandrian.

IN n recent issue of the journal Oh
the American Society Of Naval En-
cheers is published the following ar
1icle in reference to the late com
mander F. C. Bieg, U. S. NJ VINO
was a former resident of this GU!
and whose widow was Miss fanhle
French, daughter of the late Dr. ~
M. French: :,
SIN reviewing, however briefly, inc
organization and work of the Society
special mention should be made OF the
interest manifested and the work ac-
complished by the late Commanoer
Frederic C. Bieg, U. S. N. PROBABLY
mn commissioned officer of the old En-
eineer Corps of the Navy, except ex-
Eneineer-in- Chief B. R. sherwood,
did more in promoting original naval
engineering research work and lnves-
tigation than was done by Command
er Bieg. He was among the flrst 10
advocate the establishment of an adj
vanced course of training for junior
engineering officers. The suggestion
to build and equip naval engineering
laboratory originated with this officer,
AS regards the value and Importance
of collating the logs and records OF
the Bureau, he probably did as much
if not more than any other engineer
officer to analyze and index the I'M
portant engineering data contained
within these reports and records. Inc
far-reaching influence of the work
done by this modest, conscientious ana
able officer is best appreciated by
those who knew Of the extent and
character of the work done by INN,
since the retiring nature Of the man
caused him to subordinate himself at
all times in the accomplishment Of I'M
portant purposes. Another important
service rendered by this officer was
due, to his tact, zeal and success IN
inducing the associates of the Society
to interest themselves in the work and
purpose of the organization"

The Real Cause of
 Most Bad Complexions

It is stern fact that no truly beau tifu1 complexion ever came out of jars or bottles; the longer one uses cosmet- ics the worse the complexion becomes. Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must expel, through the pores, it's share of the body's effete material. Creams and powders clog the pores, interfering both with elimination and breathing. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. If they would use ordi- nary mercolized wax Instead of osmet- ics. they would have natural, healthy compilations. This remarkable sub stance actually absorbs a bad skin, also unclogging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger underskin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. An ex- Quisite new complexion gradually peeps out, one free from any appearance of artificiality. Get an ounce of mercol- ized wax at your druggists and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream, for a
 To eradicate wrinkles, there's mar velously effective treatment which also acts naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve 1 OF. powdered saxolite in 15 pt. witch hazel and use as wash lotion.
