LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
Individual Prowess in This War Counts
for as Much as II Did in Days
of Ancient Greece.

Individual prOwess counts for as
much as IL did in the days Of ancient
Greece. Waldemar Kaempffert writes
in McClure's. Names will stand out in
the history of this war like those of
Ajax and Achilles in the epic of Ho-
mer. Lieutenants Immelmann and
Boelke on the German side haove
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat. Their exploits are
tinged with a chivalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When Boelke landed to aid an enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since 1t is I'm
melmann who beat me, am satisfied"
When the German replied that 1t was
"Only BOelke," the interchange of COM
pliments seemed like a parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between Homer's battles
and twentieth century aerial cOmbats

consider how much is at stake when
battleplane meets battleplane. The

of an army corps now hangs on the

What,s the Answer

A short time ago Prof. H. B. Cough,
head of the public-speaking depart
ment at DePauv university, delivered
q talk in a small town in Lawrence
county, near Bedford, says the Indian
apolis News. He was being congratu-
lated on the talk when one farmer In
the audience edged his way to the
speaker and asked whether he was in
hurry. Professor Cough, who had
to make a certain train, said no, other
than he wished to get home at a GER
tain time. The farmer. instead Of in
viting him to a fine fried chicken din
ner, said: "Say, my boy and me heard
your talk, and we wanted to know
whether 1t was a sermon or an ad-

train and reached home without par

The juice of two fresh lemons strain

skin beautifier at about the cost one

fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for

such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin Softener,
smOOthener and beautitier.
Just try it! Make up a quarter pin'
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage 1t daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. 1t should natur-
ally help to whiten, soften, freshen and
bring out the hidden roses and beauty
of any skin. 1t is wonderful for rough,
