J. S. M'KIBBEN ACTIVE

J. S McKibben, who will compete as pilot of the St. Louis Balloon No. ,, has not been idle since his arrival in Bir- n1ingham several days ago. He has been overhauling his equipment and stated yesterday that everything is in the best of condition and all that he now needs i3 q competent aide Mir. McKibben makes his own balloons each year. In fact, his machine which he has entered in the races Saturday is a product of his own skill. Ii is a 66S-pound bag of So, GOO cubic inch capacity.
 Mr. Nick ibben states that he once made balloon of S0000 cubic inch ca pacity, which weighed only 276 pounds, which is something like zoo or 800 pounds lighter than the average balloon. A light machine enables pilot to cover more ground, as there will be less resistance to the air currents, which are the sole means by which the big bags are pro. peffed.
 Pilot McEibben has some interesting tales to tell of his experiences as an fair pilot. He relates that last year he came down in Georgian bay, Canada, after a flight of many gruelling hours. getting his start from St. Louis. It was in these races that Captain Damon and Lieuten- ant Verheyden, army contestants, were killed.
 MT. McKibben was an army instructor for two years, making something like 15o flights during his career as an air pilotf He is an old head at, the business and should do well in the races here.
 Lieut., Ralph Upson, holder of the in- ternational trophy arrived in town yes terday. He represents the Goodyear Rub Der Company, and Is thought to have a regulation S0,oo0 cubic inch balloon en- tered As vet, there is an air of mystery about the Goodyear machine.

To Regain a Healthy,
 Girlish Complexion

If you would have a clear, fresh, girlish complexion, one ounce of ordinary mer- colized wax will aid you in this direction more than shelves full of cosmetics. It produces a natural beauty. This wax, pro- curable at any drugstore, completely ab- sorbs a bad complexion, revealing the healthy young skin underneath Its work is done so gradually, day by day, that in- is caused. The wax is applied at night, like cold cream, and removed in the morning with soap and water.
 Another valuable rejuvenating treat ment-this for wrinkles--is to bathe your face in solution of powdered saxolite, one ounce. dissolved in half pint of witch hazel. This has remarkable action in smoothing out the lines and 'frming up" the loose tissue.-Adv.

 However, hopes are held out that the direction of the wind will change so as to carry the big bags northward or west ward. In either of these directions the balloons would be able to travel their longest distance before striking water. Any distance covered over water does not count in the race so the balloonists are anxious for the wind to be blowing any direction but due south when the races begin
 More evidences that the tropical storm which has been threatening to arrive in Birmingham the past day or so, is on it's way turned up yesterday, when the skies became darkened with clouds and the upper afr currents freshened into a strong steady wind. However, the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, heading southwest, while the cables bring the good news that the hurricane spent itself before it reached the coast and that it has blown over.
