LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT. CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for few
cents and see for yourself

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove compeXion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the rose, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very lit
tie cost and the grocer has the lem
ons.

mics fighting at the front and the fam.
lilies Of the soldiers left at home. In
Germany the boys are working On
the farms in America, from which SO
many men have gone to take their
places In the fighting line, there is a
great opportunity for patriotic service

Ing operations with marked success.
He has learned we'll the Importance
or deep and thorough preparation Of
fha

commercial fertilizers and how to ap-
ply them for best results; the value
OF frequent and shallow cultivation,

REFUSES TO GIVE
CORRECT TINE

Chicago, ILL.,, May 29.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press
Watch repairing in Chicago has
more than doubled as the result of
the telephone company's refusal to
give the correct time of day to sub
scribers on and after May 1, accord
ing to jewelry houses and department
store heads here. The order also has
increased considerably the sale of
new watches and alarm clocks to
persons, who hitherto have depended
largely on the telephone company
for the time Of day. ---~-@.N-
According to the manager of one
of the largest department stores in
the city, the watch repairing by his
establishment increased more than
fifty per cent almost before the order
became effective, and the sale of
watches especially the cheaper kind,
and alarm clocks leaped forward rap
idly.
Figures compiled by telephone ex-
perts showed that more than 25O,OOO
persons in Chicago called the operat-
or daily and asked "the correct time,
please" Repeal of the time hon0red
custom telephone experts declared,
was due to the burdens imposed upon
facilities of the company by the war,
and several other causes. Children,
some of whom were unable to tell the
time, it is said, were the chief of
tenders, while others wishing to
show that they could use the tele-
phone always demonstrated by ask
ing for the Correct time"

Senate Put Bone Dry Amend
ment In The National Agri-
cultural Bill Yesterday
NO RECORD OF THE VOTE

National prohibition moved con-
siderable step forward yesterday in
Congress. Without a record vote be-
ing taken or requested the Senate
adopted the leaders compromise on
bone dry" prohibition, effective July
1, 1919, and continuing during the war,
and until the American troops are
brought home and demobilized
The compromise, an amendment by
Senator Sheppard. of Texas, prohibi-
tion leader. 10 the S11.O00,000 Emer-
gency Agricultural Appropriation bill,
is expected to remain in the measure
under the harmony agreement of wet
and dry factions, although technically
subject to another vote. Passage of
the bill itself is planned today, and
the measure will be returned to the
House. which is expected by prohibit
ton advocates to accept the Senate
provision.
Adoption of the compromise legisla-
ton came after spirited debate be-
tween champions and opponents of
prohibition but with many marks of
lack of interest, including vacant
seats both on the floor and in the gall
leries because the compromise was re-
garded as insuring approval by the

M|DSHIPMEN ARE
BACK FROM THE
SUMMER CRUISE
Young Futuye Admirals Sent
From Academy On Their
Vacation This Morning
HAD REAL WARTIME
TRIP THIS SUMMER
Details Of Cruise Not To Be Dis
cussed By The Middies. All
Looking Well

After q summer cruise, which had
all of the excitement of real warfare,
Midshipmen of the upper classes at
the Naval Academy were today sent
of on their annual months leave or
vacation. The young future admirals
have been arriving at Atlantic ports
for some days past and reporting at
the Academy after Decentralization.
They are tanned and muscle-hardened
and clearly show that their cruise has
been no summer pleasure trip.
Their Whereabouts during the per-
iod since they were sent aboard ships
in June, following the close of the
academic year ashore, and what. il
any, experiences they went through,
are things which the young fellows
have been specially warned against
discussing so that the public and, in
cidentally, the ever-present caves
dropping German propagandist, must
only be satisfied by looking them over
and realizing that their time has been
well spent.
Before today was over the young
fellows had packed kit and baggage
and were off for their vacation days.
They will reassemble at the Academy
about September 2Sth, and at once set
tie down to the routine of their course
ashore. With their return and the
re-opening of the Academy the roster
of students win be by far the largest
in the history of the institution

WHO STOLE THIS CAR?
TAKEN LAST NIGHT

Sometime last night between mid
night and six o'clock this morning, a
Hudson, super-six, seven-passenger
car, was stolen from in front of the
residence 2S5 Prince George street,
and had not been seen or heard of un
til this afternoon.
The car is the property Of Ensign
John r. Shuman, U. s. Navy, who had
advertised it for sale in The Capital
last evening. Although the engine
was locked and the owner had the
key, the car was stolen. The matter
was reported to the local police
authorities, the Washington and Bal
tinore police authorities and dstec-
tives had been placed on the case.
The punishment for taking the auto
mobile of another is very severe. This
is the second car that has been taken
in Annapolis in the last twenty-four
hours. The Shuman car was found
later in the day in front of the King
George street entrance to Carvel Hall.

LICENSE RUSHED TO
A COUPLE AT MEADE

Through the kind offices of Bernard
J. Flynn, who came TO Annapolis in
his automobile, and then finding he
could not get back in time, sent the
just-procured marriage license back to
Meade by a special messenger on a
w, b. & A. car, John Sharkey, 30
years old, of Philadelphia, and Miss
Bertha Segway Socia, 20 years old, OF
New York, were married Wednesday
Just a few minutes before the depart
ure of the groom for another train
ing camp in the South.
All arrangements had been made to
have the wedding take place in New
York on August %. On the day be-
fore the one on which the couple were
to be married Sharkey was notified by
his local draft board to report for
military service and therefore the
plans for the wedding had to be set
aside.
When the orders were received for
him to leave Camp Meade for the
South, Sharkey at once notified his in
tended bride and asked her to come to
the camp at once and have the we'd
ding take place. The bride-elect ar
rived shortly after the noon hour We'd
nesday and Bernard Flynn, director of
the Knights of Columbus, was appeal
ed to for assistance in order that the
license be secured and the ceremony
take place as soon as possible. Mr..
Flynn, accompanied by his assistant,
made hurried trip 10 this city in
their automobile to obtain the IL
cense. When it was learned that IL
would be impossible TO make the re-
turn trip to the camp in time to have
the ceremony performed before the
hour set for Sharkey's departure, a
messenger was dispatched back to the
camp on a train which was leaving
at that time.
