GIRLS WITH BAD
COMPLEX!ONS ARE
PROMISED SURPRISE
Like a leaf from fiction
comes a story of facts
which will delight
every woman

Judging by the many voluntary ex-
pressions of satisfaction girls and women
all over this country making about
the Beauty Creations sold under the Black
and White label, these truly wonderful
creations are doing more real good to
correct bad compilations and to satisfy
women in their desire to keep their APP
pearance fresh and cheerful than nything
yet discovered.
A great many women who have tried
different kinds OF treatments for such
distressing face imperfections as black
heads, rough and discolored skin, are
finding Black and White Cleansing Cream
so unusual and much more satisfying
that its sale, together with other Black
and White Beauty Creations, has passed
the eight million packages a year mark in
only little more than four years time.
This proves the contention which au-
thorities on skin and beauty have main
tanned for years, that it is possible to re-
gain and keep that clear and pleasing com
plexion of youth if only the proper combi-
nation of cleansing and identifying ele-
ments could be produced to overcome the
bad effects which exposure, irritation and
the of questionable cosmetics do to
the most delicate and important part of
the body.
Since black and White Cleansing Cream
has worked such almost miraculous
changes in clearing and identifying the
compilations of many thousands of
women and girls. it seems that the long
sought for method of correcting bad COM
plexions has been found at last
Important: After putting the skin in a
healthy condition by using Black and
White Cleansing Cream, do not make the
mistake of using just any powder and
cream. The makers of Black and White
have provided Peroxide Cream and Face
Powder which you can use safely to en-
nance the beauty of the skin without
CHANGING any further trouble or having
that "pasty" or made up appearance.

Homes of c. Masonry Keep Pace With Growth of City

Masonry has grown up with Wash
ington. From a mere handful OF the
craftsmen who were numbered among
the first lodge established in George
town back In April, 1889. the growth
of the fraternity has been reflected
in it's ever-fncreasins membership
which at the present time has passed
the a0, 900 mark.
The housing problem of the grow
ing organization has been foremost
since its inception. Temple after
temple has been erected, only to give
way in succeeding years to homes
adequate to meet the resultant needs
Despite the seemingly immense ac-
commodations provided by the mag
nificent central temple standing on
the corner of 18th street and New
York avenue northwest and the nu-
merous smaller temples scattered in
various sections of the city and sub
urbs. ample facilities are still lacking
and Masonry is now looking for relief
to the proposed new home on Temple
Heights.
The march of improvements has
swept away a few of the earlier
homes of Masonic lodges in this juris-
the Grand Lodge found d succession
of homes. Yet there remains a re-
markable number-veritabl land
marks-which stand as mute wit
nesses to the progress of Freemasonry
in the District OF Columbia.
The earlier lodges of Georgetown
are known to have met in private
houses. but the first definite location
of Masonic lodge within the present
limits of the District is that of the

The newest addition to the chain
OF Masonic temples in this jurisdiction
is the building erected by the East
Gate Lodge. No. 81. at Rhode Island
and Mills avenues northeast. at cost
of approximately $4,000. 1t Is a three
story brick structure The front is
faced with tapestry brick and Indiana
limestone embellishments On the
ground floor are stores. A spacious
auditorium, fully. equipped to meet
the needs OF the community for a
public meeting hall, is on the second
lodgeroom, smoking room, locker
room, etc.
TIE corner stone of this temple was
laid September 1, 1922. with impress
give ceremonies. The gavel used b.
George Washington in laying the
corner stone of the United States
Capitol building tapped into place the
corner stone of the temple.
The history OF the new Masonic
Temple at 18th street and New York
