Best Service Column in City.

Several interesting experiments have
been conducted recently, according to
Capt. Frank z. Evans. of the United
states Marine Corps, in charge OF Eastern
district recruiting, with the landing from
ships boats of the large and heavy ar
mored cars, used by the marines in shore
work. In getting the cars ashore from
36-foot sailing launch in bad weather
much difficulty was encountered In de-
vising a successful means of making a
landing. Landing a "behemoth of Holy
Writ from whaleboat would be an easy
job in comparison.
Now. however. 1t appears every ship
carrying an armored motor car has her
0-foot launches and 4O-foot motor craft,
equipped with steel runways and special
appliances which can handle the cars
and land them except in especially bad
weather or an unusually heavy surf The
devices might be called portable bridges,
and they are so constructed that they can
also be use1 to aid the armored cars over
land obstructions they could not other
wise overcome
These bridges are of trussed steel and
equipped so that they can be made TO
extend a considerable distance over a
ooats stern. so that in bad weather the
crafts head can be kept to the seas
while the car is run ashore. On board
the boat itself are hanged guard rails
corresponding with the similar rails on
the runway and supported on two by
twelve-inch Joists at a height equal to
the gunwales Of the craft When lower
ed from the mother" battIeship into
the boats the cars are lashed securely
to these supports. The cars, which
weigh fully equipped, 5000 pounds, are
ntted In their turrets with Lewis Vickers
or Benet guns. In road and field tests
the marines ar1nored cars have given
no trouble in running through sand huh
deep, crossing ploughed fields and steep
banked bitches and climbing a so degree
hill 200 yards long.
During one of the tests an exciting ac-
cident occurred when, while running at
fifty miles an hour, 1t was necessary
to turn sharply of the road to avoid
hitting farm wagon loaded with chill
dren on their way home from school.
The car, which contained besides its reg
ular crew, Capt. Ross, of the testing
board. rolled completely over twice. The
crew. however. was equipped with head
guards and padded uniforms, like foot

Save DADS LIFE
GET IT FOR HIM
Says 1t Is Suicide to Cut Corns
and Tells How They Lift
Right Out.

You simply say to the drug stor.
man, Give me quarter of an ounce
OF freezone." This will cost very lit,
tie but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, can be lifted
out with the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincin-
natl man, who says that while free
zone Is sticky it dries in a moment
and seems to simply shrivel up the
corn without inhaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns.
but cut this out and make him try it.

ball players, and although badly shaken
up managed to get the car back on its
wheels by means of devices designed
to meet just such accidents, and were
tearing off down the road again in less
than two hours.
The engines OF the car are so pro-
tected that even when landed in heavy
weather 1t can be almost completely
swept by the seas without affecting its
mobility. The car can also be careened
to an angle of % degrees without threat
ening its balance. The machines can
make ten miles an hour, and cost $15, 900
each. but are considered by all competent
authorities to be one OF the most valu-
able arms OF the United States marine
service.
The American soldier ought TO be the
healthiest soldier in the world because
he starts out backed by a medical or
ganization that has been given all the
valuable lessons learned by the big Brit
ish army in its three years experience
in this greatest OF wars.
This statement, made by Sir Alfred
Keogh, surgeon general OF the British
army. revealed for the first time the
close cooperation between the medical
branches OF the American and British
armies maintained since the early days
OF the war.
For this fact the American people must
thank Sir Alfred, the man responsible
for the health of the 100000 British SOL
diers scattered all over the various thea
ters OF war. He has placed all the In
formation gained in the war at the dis
posal OF the American army medical
men.
Right now. Sir Alfred says, there are
in England four of the leading United
States army medical men who have been
studying the British medical and sani-
tary arrangements in France and who
have toured the hospitals in England
and studied the Royal Army Medical
Corps at home. They are Surgeon Plead

Juice of Lemons! How to: Make Skin
 White and Beautiful

At the cost of a small jar. of ordinary cold cream one can prepare full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle con- taining three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will, keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as sallowness, freckles and tan and is the ideal skin softener. smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make upa quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily. into the face. neck. arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften. freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful to smoother rough. red hands.
