BEST WAY TO END
BAD COMPLEXION
Lasting Results Can Now
Be Had By Using Fa-
nous Black and White
Creations.

When girls and women realize they
have become victims of bad com
plexion they seem TO forget all reason
and try most anything they hear of
which promises relief. without finding
out the one sure and safe way to get rid
of blackheads, pimples blotches and
rough, unpleasant skin.
Thousands of these girls and women
have learned that simply giving their
complexion the care it ought to have
regularly by using Black and White
Cleansing Cream to clean out of the
pores every particle Of dust, grease and
other injurious things which might come
in contact with the skin during the day
when 1t is exposed to everything will
bring back and preserve that lovely
soft, smooth complexion of earlier years
Then, when the skin Is soothed after a
nights rest from tire previous days ex-
posture, first use a little Black and White
Peroxide Cream before you put on your
face powder. This will hold the powder
on your face so you won't have to keep
putting on more powder every few min
utes 10 keep your skin exquisite.

not intend to try for attitudes until
1e haG learned thoroughly 1.-THE
feel of the thing.
Control of the machine at high
altitude is described by Major Bane
as an unknown quantity and he is
now busiIy engaged in trying to
discover what it may be.
Altitude is the least important
thing" said Major Bane. This will
come in time We are not taking
any chances of wrecking the ma
chine, which represents a heavy
investment by the Government.
Anyhow, a crash might cause a
funeral for the pilot.
Two Years. To, Perfect.
However, / believe the machine
embodies practical principles and
that the helicopter fashioned after
the present model. will be doing
practical work within two years"
1t was explained that higher
flights so far have been prevented
by oscillation. due to irregular
winds near the surface of the
ground. But as altitude is gained
this influence will be overcome and
will be negligible at from fifty to
100 feet above the earth.
- I'VE have obtained valuable data
from the first. machine" said Major
Bane," land while we are confident
that the principle of vertically ris
ing planes is the correct one, there
probably will be some modification
in the general plan in the future"
He declined to reveal what changes
would be made in the second ma
chine. this information being close
ly guarded secret.
To operate the machine in any
given direction, control levers are
depressed or raised, causing the pro
pellers to exert a pulling power in
that direction, while maintaining the
upward pull at the same time. Nov
ing from place to place might be
described as being due to balance
Major Bane is the only man who
has flown the machine.
The development of horizontal
blades or propellers by DIR. De
Bothezat was based on his theory
that if an airplane propeller will
carry ship forward, multiple hori.
zontal blades will lift the machine
from the ground. The helicOpter is
the result.
