Wrinkles Quickly

If your face is disfigured with wrinkles,
no matter what the cause, you can quickly
dispel every line, even the most obstinate,
by using simple, home made wash lotion.
Merely dissolve an ounce of powdered sax
olite in a half pint witch hazel-inexpen-

The remarkable astringent action of the
saxolite so tightens the skin, wrinkles are
literally pressed out. Best of all, this re-
suit is not purely temporary, for the lotion
also has a healthful tonic action which
tends to strengthen and tone up the weak

delicate skin. The treatment itself leaves

Petrograd, Sept. 12.-The Petrograd
division of the women's legion of death
was revolving" today. Pledged to die
in defense of the democracy and with
their bravery already proved on the
battlefield, the women fighters of the
capital are up in arms against their
commander in chief, Mime. Butch

Leader Gone to Moscow.
No further explanation was obtain

Petrograd division all stated that the
disagreement between themselves and
the commander was irreconciliable.
They were unanimous in admiration
of Mime. Butchkoreva's personal brav-

THE MUFFLER NUISANCE.
Thee Cut Outs Are Noise Makers
OF No Value.

AS the use of muff1er cut-outs is
becoming a nuisance, the members
of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce have voted unanimously
for their elimination on the cars they
build in the future, so far as they
can be operated from the drivers
seat.
With more than four million cars in
use and supplying a great service in
the transportation of the individual
and of materials, the use of muff1er
cut-outs is unfair to the public and
adds an unnecessary noise to Amer
lean life. Cars have ample power so
that the slight increase in speed which
may come from the use of cut-outs is
of no Importance. There may be times
in adjusting motors where a cut-out
is useful, but in such cases It can be
operated from under the car.
Almost half of the 10 makers in
the chamber do not fit muller cut
outs to their present cars and all max
ers voted that they should he elini-
mated in the new products. The di-
rectors at their meeting in New York
last week adopted the following reso-
luton:
WHEREAS, members of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce are op-
posed to the attachment of muffler cut
outs to motor vehicles and do not fit them
to the cars and trucks they manufacture,
or will discontinue doing so on their prod
uct for 1918, and,
WHEREAS, the use of the cut-out is
unnecessary, annoying and dangerous to
other users of the highways and objection
able to residents along them,
RESOLVED, That the board of di-
rectors recommends that all members of
the National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce refrain from attaching muffler cut
outs to their cars for the season of 1918
and thereafter and that no cars be sold by
them after January 1, 1918, with cut -outs
attached, or that where cut-outs are at
tached they be made imperative from the
drivers seat

TO ROLL Big MATCH
ON TWO-BALL PLAN
BaItimoreans Insist on New
Style of Competition for
Match With Locals.

Plans for the intercity duckpin
match between picked teams of Wash
ington and Baltimore are beginning
to shape themselves. John L. Vaeth,
who is handling the local end of the
match in conjunction with George
Isemann, is in possession Of a letter
from Clarence Won Slossberg, Balti-
more alley manager, in which the lat
ter says he has organized Ave bowl
ers willing to roll the best this city
can afford, for a stake of 800.
Insist ON Two-BaI Plan.
Won Slossberg insists that the
match be rolled at the two-ball game
prevalent in Baltimore. 1t was at
first thought that the locals would not
consent to this, but they are losing
some Of the opposition to the new
game. In fact, 1t is quite certain now
that the Baltimoreans will have their
way. The Washington bowlers seem
to care little under what conditions
the event takes place SO long as it is
put through.
"A uunnpcF Oh prominent pO"lciS
here have been sounded on the two
ball idea and the general opinion is
that the regulation three-ball style of
rolling is the better. The two-bsll
stunt has several arguments in its
favor. One of these is that 1t elimi-
mates the third ball OF each frame,
where a mark is not made, which
makes less work for the bowler. A
great many care very little for roll
ing the third ball.
SLazy Mans Game.'
Two-ball bowling has been dubbed
"the lazy mans game" here. 1t was
originally designed by Baltimore al
ley managers seeking to alleviate ex'
penses in order to make the game
pay when FASTENERS were losing In
terest in the sport. According to the
statement of one Of them It has been
"life-saver" for Baltimore proprie-
tors.

WESTERN TO SHIFT
AGAINST TECHNICAL
Red and White Will Change
Team About, tombstone Co.
ing to Forward Today.

Western will shift its lineup in to-
days Schoolboy Basketball League
game. tombstone, who played guard
against Business, will be changed over
to right forward and Simpson will
take his place at guard.
Groves will be held on the side lines
in case of an emergency. Since the
Business game Western has put in
two hard practices. Inability to cover
the floor after getting control of the
ball was Westerns weakness in it's
last battle.
In meeting Tech today the Western
ers will have the advantage OF hav-
ing been on the big 'Y" floor once.
Tech has had no practice in a large
gym, and 1t is expected that the Man
ual Trainers will have difficulty in
getting started.
Opener for Tech.
Today's contest is the third OF the
series and the opener for Tech. The
Maroon and Gray is possessed of a
veteran team in that all of the play
ers have had experience at the floor
game. Catlin and Tabb have been
with the Epiphany Gym team for sew
eral seasons. Pfeiffer and Schneider
have been on the floor two years and
De la Vergne was a member of the
Georgetown Props.
Western ought to do better against
Tech than 1t did against the Bust
ness team. The Red and White play
ers were in their first start of the
year and the first game for all of them
in the high school series.
Tech can be compared with Bust
ness after today's contest. If the
Manual Trainers defeat Western more
decisively than Business did they may
be considered in the running for the
championship. Eastern, in its defeat
Of Central, played better than Coach
Metzler's charges, who seemed to lack
an effective attack.
The Capitol Hill youngsters will get
a chance to show their true speed on
Friday afternoon, when they will
stack up against Business. At the
same time Tech will battle with Gen.
trail.
Makes Good Showing.
Business made q better showing
than was expected the other day and
with more practice will be able to
go after the title hammer and tongs.
There is one drawback to the Bust
ness team, and that is the fact that
both forwards may be lost before the
season Is out.
Ralph Wise was not expected to be
able to play this year on account OF
q weakened condition. He got In the
game last Friday, but failed to stand
up as well as was expected. Buck
Wise will be out for good, as he
graduates in February.
Business may be able to sail
through the first half of the sched-
ule, but, with these two sterling play
ers OF the team, some other five Is
likely to come forward with cham
pionship claims.

COLLEGES PRIMED
FOR ENGAGEMENTS
Georgetown, GalIaudet, Catho-
lie University, and G. W. U.
Play This Week.

There is considerable activity on
college basketball courts today in
preparation for tomorrow's contests.
Gallaudet is scheduled for a matinee
battle with Georgetown, while Cath
Ollie University is engaging the Naval
Academy basketball team in a similar
engagement.
Georgetown is making start to-
morrow, which will be the real 1917
debut. The Hilltoppers got together
before the holidays and defeated Mt.
st. Joseph's. John O'Reilly hauled the
candidates back from the holiday re-
cess a bit early and proceeded to in
still some basketball into the squad.
The Hilltoppers will be primed for
Gallaudet, and can be expected to
show something more than they did
before the holidays. Attention has
been directed to George Washington,
Gallaudet and Catholic University,
but the G. U. quint will bear watch
ing from now on.
Hatchetites Beaten.
While George Washington got q
drubbing at Philadelphia last night,
Temple University winning a 40 to
% game, 1t was noticeable that Quak-
er City accounts detail the fouls
committed by the G. W. U. men. It
will be remembered that Temple play
ed here. last year, and appeared to
have rules somewhat different fro,n
those interpreted in this section.
The Temple followers have not for
gotten their game here. George WASH
ington, according to the score, fouled
twice as much as>the Temple men.
As a matter Of fact, and discounting
fouls committed, there was a differ
ence of six points between the totals
of the two teams, not a considerable
margin considering Temple was on
its home floor.
Waits For C. U.
George Washington will wait for
its game with c. U. on Saturday and
will probably be over at Annapolis
to watch the Brooklanders against
the Navy tomorrow afternoon. Cath
ole University was dealt q hard blow
by the loss OF Gallivan and Cart
wright. Caffrey, Glasscott, and
O'Brien will probably get into to-
morrow's game.
O'Brien's work on the floor has
been the sensation OF the season. He
has scored more than three-fourths
Of his teams total this season, and
will be watched by the Navy men to-
morrow. Coach Collihower took a
special trip here to watch O'Brien
before the holidays, and maintains he
can effectively halt the youngsters.
Ready For Trip.
Coach Jack Haas Gallaudet team
will meet the Hilltoppers and will
then rest two days before taking
their trip through Virginia for a
couple of dates. The Fishbourne Mill
tary Academy and waynesboro, Va,
will be played Friday night, and on
Saturday Gallaudet will tackle Pop
Lanigan's University of Virginia
team.
Virginia is expecting to have a
regular team after all. Despite the
protestations of the loss OF all the
veterans II seems Lanigan will have
Luck, Dittrich, White, and Bill Rixey.
All things considered this Is fair
enough, as these players were as
good as the veteran captains Of last
season.
