'fected for Army.

WASHINGTON, Nov 22.--Through a
radio telephone installed on the south
portico Of the white House President
Wilson directed the mannuvres Of half
a dozen army alrpianea flying to-day
over the Potomac River. several miles
away. Mrs. Wilson and George Creel.
chairman of tho Committee on Public
Information, were the spectators, with
a group of army officers, who conducted
the installation OF the aerial connected
with n small field switchboard at which
the President stood.
The planes In formation nose dived
several times and swung around cir
Gle 1900 to 1000 feet above The ground.
They were scarcely visible.
Several telephone receivers were con-
nected TO the switchboard, and Mrs. Will
son and other members of the party list
ened to the command as well as watched
the execution. A single plane carrying
a Night commander rose In the air first
and few up and down, dived and looped.
Then, following directions, the flight
commander few back to Boiling Field
ana called upon his squadron to manpu-
vre.
The telephone was adjusted for three
to i've OF six miles. 1t is similar TO the
instruments used by American aviators
In France. the secret of which was dis
closed after the armistice was signed.
Credit Goes to Col. Culver.
Col. c. c. Culver is credited IN the
Department OF Military Aeronautics
with having been the active agent in
the development OF the device.

became interested in the possibility OF
sending messages from airplanee." Co..
Culver said to-day, land commenced n
series OF experiments which were so
far successful that in August. 1915, I
was enabled to send n radio telegraph
message from a plane over Chatsworth.
Cal. to San Diego. n distance of $40
miles.
I'm February. 1917. after we had en-
listed the assistance OF the foremost
American telephone companies and their
expert acoustlcal men, we succeeded In
transmitting vocal messages from n
plane to the ground In October 1917.
I took the first sets to San Francieco
and made demonstrations there. BY
August 400 complete sets had been sent
to our forces in France. and ou< whole

plete utilization OF the possibilities in

Girls! Use Lemons! Make a Bleaching,
 Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a, whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through nne 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 re move such blemishes as freckIes, sal lcwness 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 up a quarter pint of this sWeetly fra grant 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 simply marvellous to smoother rough. red hands.
