Tusoaloosans who expected to take a
trip in an airplane here today were
disappointed. When Aviator Trotter
arrived here about 10 o'clock with
Frank Willis Barnett OF The Age
Herald as his passenger he attempted
to make a landing on the field previ-
ously selected. which was a perfectly
good field when Mr.. Trotter picked 1t
out the earlier part of the week. 1t
was dry and all right, but this morn
ing the field was sogsy with water
from. a hard rain yesterday, last night
and this morning. When the Wheels
of the airplane touched the surface
they did not roll along as they should
do, They simply begged with the
weight of the machine. The impetus
OF the descent continued, however, and
stood the aircraft on its nose, break
ing the propeller and doing other
minor injuries.
Frank Willis Barnett got a skinned
leg Pilot Trotter got nothing except
a huge disgust that his record of more
than two years of flying were marred
by an accident for the first time. Re-
pairs will be made on the machine and
an opportunity will be given the peo-
pie of Tuscaloosa to try Nhe air jitney

To Wash Away Those
 Wrinkles and Crowsfeet

If your face fs disfigured with wrin- lles no matter what the cause, you can quickly dispel every line, even the most obstinate, by using a simple home made wash lotion. Merely dissolve an ounce of powdered saxo1ite in half pint witch hazel-ingredients found in any drug store. Bathe the face in this, and-presto.--you scarcely believe your own eyes when you look into your mir TOT and behold the marvellous transfer nation.
 The remarkable astringent action of the saxolite so tightens the skin wrin : kles are literally pressed out. BeSt of all, this result is not purely temporary, for the lotion also has a healthful tonic action which tends to strengthen and tone up the weakened tissue. and added benefit may be expected with continued use. Use this once day for awhile; it cannot injure the most delicate skin. The treatment itself leaves no trace no one guesses the secret of your in- creasins youthful appearance.--Adv.
