to battle the face once day for awhile in
a harmless solution made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint
of witch hazel.
This is remarkably effective in erasing
the hateful lines, not only because of its
astringent action which tightens the skins
and thus irons out the lines, but also be-

Better Accommodations for Big
Crowds Took Battle to Ohio.

New York, May 6.-Tex Richard has
spoken and Toledo is the place where
Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey will
battle on July 4. Many a wall of pro-
test is scheduled to take the air be-
tween now and Independence day. But
the very fact that Richard declined to
confirm rumors of the selection of the
Ohio city until the last detail had been
attended makes it unlikely that un-
foreseen obstacles will appear in the
path of the bout.
Some Opposition Met.
There is an undercurrent of opposi-
ton to the battle that is likely to give
some trouble, but only in a passive
way. There are said to be men con-
nected with the pugilistic game who
have striven to throw impediments in
the way of the famous promoter, but
these men are not expected to do any
great harm.
Richard has withheld their names
but has promised to give them pub
licity in a statement if their efforts to
block him continue.
Some opposition to a bout of only
twelve rounds, even with a decision
attached, already has been spoken in
this section, but this is rather far
fetched in view of the prowess of
Dempsey. Richard could have built
MS arena IN 1OanO IOr a DOuI OF lWeH-
ty-five rounds, but by placing it in
Ohio the crowd will be greater and
accommodations better for the huge
gathering he expects to handle.
Arena to Seat $4,000.
The promoter believes an arena to
seat 10000 to $4,000 is the largest he
can construct and still make it pos
sible for the seat holders farthest
away to see the battle. Prices will
range from IS to $50, which should
give the promoter minimum of about
S350,000 in receipts. He will pay
S127. 500 to the boxers. The battle will
be staged az Bayview park, according
to present plans, which is on Maumee
bay, under the jurisdiction of Toledo
officials. Governor Cox, Richard be-
lieves. will not interfere, for the Ohio
law puts it squarely up to local au-
thorities to decide whether or not they
want boxing contests.

BIG CIRCUS MADE UP OF SOLDIERS
 NOW DELIGHTS OUR
 BOYS IN FRANCE
Some of the Most Famous Performers in America Have Been Utilized in New Entertainment
 Feature

Headquarters S. O. S., A. E. F.. France. May 2o-(Special Correspondence.)-T American expeditionary force has a cir GUS.
 Throughout the length and breadth or France. and even in the wilderness or the Rhine valley-wherever American troops are stationed, brightly colored lithographed "three-sheets" have been posted advertising the biggest show in the army" Everywhere lover there Uncle Sam's doughboys are eagerly an ticipating the coming of the big show and those who are not certain of liberty on circus day are planning to play hockey. The circus posters have brought pack thoughts of boyhood to the husky sol- diers.
 The army circus is now touring the s o. S. sections. It was organized in Bordeaux by troup of soldiers who were circus performers in civil life. Lieut.. Col Robert B. Gamble and the staff Of the entertainment bureau directed the show and arranged for the bookings. Plans for this unique enterprise were ey olved by Herbert Flansburgh of the Y. M c. A., veteran. snowman. The Knights of Columbus donated enough money to pay expenses and all the per- formers were recruited from the ranks.
 By rallying all the circus men who could be found in the A. E. F., it was possible to organize circus exactly lik1 the shows that delight the hearts of small boys at home. There are clowns, acrobats, rough riders, tumblers, jug glers, trick bicycle riders. strong men, nagicians and bareback riders. The cir GUS is given in an immense open air ring around which grandstands are placed Admission is free to all men of the American army. Leading to the entrance of the big ring is a midway typical of the midways of circus grounds and amusement parks in America. There are side shows with their shouting bark CTS and dozens of little booths where the soldiers may buy long glasses of cold, pink lemonade and even peanuts.

the hull, and they will strengthen the hull so that it may plunge down in the water from a height and yet stand the terrific impact.
 In the air all the NC boats behaved ad- mirably. They suffered from too much head resistance for which reason their speed was comparatively low. But they flew like sea birds through storms that no man would have braved in flying ma chimes. 10 years ago.
 Because they were seamen the crew did not make the most of their instrumental equipment. Commander Towers apparent ly relied too much on the use of the naut- ical sextant. On the water the instrument served it's purpose admirably. By it's aid geographical positions were easily de- termined. But in the air the nautical sextant is too hard to use because there is no trustworthy horizon. Hawker's navigator Grieve, used the clouds with more or less success. Towers told us that he came down only because it had be- come imperative to get exact bearings when fuel for only two hours remained If he had been an old experienced ballonist, tf oroughy rracticed in the art of hand ling the air bubble quadrant and the Nell-known Schwarzchild tables, he would have stayed in the air and completed the trip. -
 The experiences of the NC-1 and the
  ter sailing days. What can be more ex- citing than the story of a man sweeping down after 11O0-mile trip through the air into a situation as perilous as that in which ever an old wind-j -jammer found herself? For time the NC-S, flying machine, became a kind of sail ing vessel herself, after she touched the waves. The strict naval discipline that prevailed asserted itself. Every man per- formed the functions that were expected of him. So, when the NC-S was trans formed into a kind of sailboat, the com mander was able to lay 2o5-mie course in real sailor fashion. True, the vessel could not cruise against the wind. but it e uld quarter at fair angle. The planes simply became sails in the gale. Luck fly the wind blew in the right direction. The boat was permitted to drift stern foremost, the planes acting as sails. The tah of a seaplane is after all kind Of weather vane, and so it proved as the NC-3 drifted before the wind.
 The report of the commander of the NC-3 reads like chapter from Fenimore Cooper In view of the narrowing adven- lures of the two American planes that came to grief on the way to the Azores, Hawker's belittling comment of the en- tire American enterprise is as unfair as 1t is unworthy of brave man.
