A number Of men yesterday were
discussing why 1t seemed to be 9 fact
that men possessed So much better
complexions than women, SPEAKING
generally. "Tll tell you why" said
one Of the Women don't wash
their faces thoroughly In the same
manner that men do. A woman dabs
at her face with an unsanitary wash
rag upon which she puts very little
soap because she Is afraid It will M
jure her skin. She then ILLS up the
pores with cold cream and after that
she plasters her face with powder
She goes frequently to the beauty
parlor and gets massage and bttH
more cream and powder Is rubbed In.
She frequently puts on Bloom OF
Youth" and this Is not good for her
complexion.
well now, Mr.. Man, what do You
do to get your good complexion
was asked. The reply came instantly:
"Why we wash our faced gproperiy
with q thick lather Of soap which we
rub in thoroughly -in fact we massage
It In and let It stay on q moment or
two. After that we wash 1t OF IN
plenty Of warm water following which
we let well enough alone. Very few
OF US do any powdefing though tn ad-

LORD MAYORS DRIVER DEAD
Was Known for Many Years as Lon
don's Most Picturesque
Character.

London.-A. Wright, who as the lord
mayors coachman was known to all
London and who for years f1ourished
as one of the most picturesque charac-
tiers, is dead.
For twenty-seven years Wright
played his part until the people came
to regard him as an institution as i'm
portant as, the lord mayor himself. His
greatest moment was when in 1906,
Sir w. Vaughan Morgan, as lord may
Or, visited the French capital ana
Wright, the state coach and six horses
were taken over. Paris was delight
ed by him and all his glory. The
coachman in his full regalia, with his
wonderful wig, his stockings, three
cornered hat and gold braid, quite
eclipsed the more ordinary parsonage
of the lord mayor.
Wright was proud of his office and
nothing could tempt him to forsake
it. The offer of royal service under
the late King Edward even failed to
entice him from his impressive box.

SERBIA IS FREE OF SMALLPOX
.Typhus Also Stamped Out by Kellef
Workers, Including Amer
leans.

Belgrade.-For the first time in i've
years Serbia is today free of smallpox.
Only three cases are reported in the
whole kingdom.
The announcement is made by the
medical staff of the American Red
Cross headquarters in Belgrade which
a week ago made the even more graf
flying announcement that Serbia is
once more free of typhus, after a strug-
gle of five years.
To the efforts of relief workers OF
half a dozen nations that rallied to
the Serbian call of distress in the
black winter of 1915, the government
freely, ascribes the eradication of the
twin plaques. Chief among these
workers were those Of the American
Red Cross, which is today operating
a chain of eight hospitals in Serbia.

Irvine Trail Leads to
Recovery of Cash Box

Conneaut, GA ball of store
Irvine led to the finding OF a
cash register containing $2O
which burglars stole from local
meat market. When the proprle-
tor was called to the door from
his bed upstairs by a knock he
was struck by a brick hurled
through a window.
He was only slightly injured
and ran out the door to search
for an officer. When he and the
policeman returned the cash reg
lister was gone.
The burglars abandoned it in
a gulley several rods away after
trying in vain to open it. The
Irvine was carried all the way,
unraveling from the store, and
led to finding the cash box.

with some of the boys for little while
on his way home from work. It was
dark when he climbed on to the BIZ

home in time for supper. He had a

Just a second before he struck it and
was thrown to the pavement. When he
sat up, rubbing his head, big grizzly
bear was looking down at him. Bert
said they looked at each other and
then both went away from the place
as fast as they could.

CASE Goes TO
FEDERAL COURT
LeCot WIN Be Tried By Different
Authorities Claims He Was
Net Disloyal.

Henry LeCot, arrested IN Moline
q week ago charged with being un-
fit to reside in the United States. Is
at liberty on $1,000 bail pending q
hearing before Federal Judge
George English Of Danville, Sept. 6.
The defendent and his attorney,
Peter Ingelson, returned to Moline
today and announced that the case
had been transferred from the i'm
migration department to the fed
eral court. LeCot's attorney views
the transfer with favor, declaring
that his client will now have all
the court protection granted a cit
izen. The treaty between Belgium
and the United States was one Of
the arguments cited for taking the
case to the federal court.
LeCot denies all charges held
against him by immigration officials
regarding his alleged draft evasion.
He admits he served out sentence
for forgery in Belgium some years
ago. LeCot states he claimed
exemption for industrial and family
reasons and not because he was
disloyal to the United States.

HOLD YOUTH ON
SORDID CHARGE

Joe Hodges, Is years old, an en-
ploye of the Russell Bros. Carni-
val company, now showing in Mo-
line, was arrested today and held
to the grand jury on charge OF
committing crime against nature
He was sent to Jail, being unable
to furnish $4,000 bond. Hodges
pleaded guilty to enticing two boys
aged and II respectively, into q
cornfield yesterday afternoon for
immoral purposes. He was captur-
ed and conducted to police head
quarters by Charles Shepard, col
ored, and Russ Mueller, two boys
also in the carnival's employee.
Hodges told Magistrate Gustaf-
son that his home was in Vim
cennes, Ind, and that he had been
with the carnival about month.
He was discharged by the company
after his employer learned OF the
offense. Police believe the boy is
moral degenerate.
The grand jury does not meet un-
til September and Moline author
tiles are at a loss what to do with
the boy. The crime to which he
pleaded guilty carries with it q
penitentiary sentence. It was sug-
gested that he be sent to the stare
j reformitory but Magistrate Gustaf-
son said Hodges would have to be
placed in solitary confinement to
| protect the other boys.
During the hearing NJ. ]. McEn-
Try, assistant states attorney, who
appeared against Hodges, denounc-
ed the presence Of carnivals in
Moline and was especially bitter
against the employment of boys by
travelling shows. He declared par
ents of the boys owed it to the ma
ton to save them for better pur.
poses than carnival hands.
