The special advantages of this
method OF propaganda are evident.
The whole vast scheme can be
operated in safety behind our own
lines and no nets, anti-aricraft guns,
frontier guards, spies, OF imaginable
protective devices could block or
even impede such a nationwide pro-
paganda from the skies. All efforts
to do so would awaken additional
curiosity and increase the effective
ness OF the campaign.
The carriers could be manufac-
tured by millions, without elaborate
special machinery or long period
OF preparation. They are light, dur

WAR MEMORIES OF
MIDDLE AGES REVIVED
Suit Restores Property Held by the
Knights of Malta.

Rome, March S.-(Correspond-
ence OF the Associated Press).-
War memories Of the middle ages
have been renewed among the
princely houses OF Italy by the re-
cent decision of the Roman civil
courts condemning the old and ia
nous families Of Corsini and Bar
berini to restore to the young
daughter of the prince OF Sciarra
property rights involving a large
money income, vested in the ancient
order of the Knights OF Malta.
Except among noble or Catholic
families the very existence Of the
militant religious order of the
Knights of Malta had been forgot
ten here, yet the decision OF the
court has shown that large prop
critics still are in the possession of
this order founded many centuries
ago at Jerusalem and which sue
'csSively controlled the islands of
Rhodes and Malta until driven out
by Napoleon.
The lawsuit was brought by
Prince Mafeo Sciarra in the inter
est of his daughter. Formerly him
sell one of the richest princes OF
Rome, he had become so impoyer-
ished that he undertook several
years ago the selling OF automobile
insurance in order to earn a living.
In his misfortune he remembered
that his family had once been prom
incnt in the Knights Of Malta.
Then he discovered that owing to

CURE FOR BLACKHEADS

Physical Culture: Where black
heads are very thick the use of
green soap" is often advised. The
skin is irictioned with l soft cloth
on which little OF the soap is ap-
piled. 1t is then very thoroughly
rinsed off. Ii the treatment is Sc
we're the face should be gathered
with a toilet vinegar to counteract
the alkah OF the green soap
Where pimpleS have resulted they
must be treated with scrupulous
cleanliness. The face must be wash
ed very gently and the pimples
lightly touched with an antiseptic.
DioXogen, listerine and even iodine
are often recommended. Make a
swab by winding 4 bit Of cotton
about the end OF a toothpick. Dip
into the antiseptic and apply to the
pimple. Just touching the pimples
with dioXogen will often dry them
up and cause them to heal without
scars. Rubbing and irritating them
causes them to grow larger, and
when they do heal they leave a
scar or enlarged pore Indeed, some
one has said, and it. may we'll be
true, that enlarged pores are pits
the graves OF thousand pimples."

TO carry over the whole empire in
Vulnerable small balloons carrying
the desired messages, each carrier
timed to float certain period be-
fore descending with its message to
the earth.
The carriers should be made OF
rubber, billed paper, etc, and of va
rious kinds and sizes, but small. The
timing OF the carriers could be ef-
tected by various EARLY applied de-
vices. The thickness and permeabil-
ity OF the envelope, the nature and
pressure OF the gas employed, the
useof evaporation or slow chemical
reactions, the insertion through the
envelope of capillary tubes or po-
rous plugs, their release at different
heightS-these and other similar de
vices could control the period Of
ilotation and hence determine the
place OF landing. In the case OF hot
air carriers this could be accom-
plished by varying the size and com
bustion period OF the heat-producing
candle or other agent beneath.
From larger balloons, floating
clear across Germany, messages
could be released at constant inter
walls by clockwork, progressive chem
ical action or other similar devices
Launching the balloons with their
messages could be easily and safely
effected behind our lines
Ground stations, especially on
hills and mountains, equipped for
rapid initiation, could launch mil
lions, each rising to a predetermined
height and drifting a predetermined
time Anchored 'sausageS,' similarly
equipped and working at different
heights, could emit streams of car
riers, descending at different dis
tanceS clear across Germany Air
planes or dirigibles could strew them
along different air lanes and at dill
terent heights Automobiles could
set them adrift along lines Of from
tier, and ships and submarines re-
lease them, to be drifted over enemy
shores and descend in the interior.
Various means o. attracting atten-
tion are easily available. The car
riers could be made Of bright colors
or OF prosphorescent material. The
fire balloons would be especially con-
spicuouS, and any of the larger sizes
could carry lights or emit smoke.
Few Would Be Lost.
All messages should preferably be
suspended by a six-foot thread to
their balloons. Descending with cX-
treme slowness, the suspended mes
sage would finally touch ground and
the balloon thus anchored would re-
main conspicuously floating for
long time. In the forests and parks
and on all cross country wires the
balloons and their suspended mes
SageS would catch and be hung up in
