Popular Movie Star
 Astonished By Easy
 Solution of Mystery
"A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command"
 --Wordsworth.

The woman who is "easy on the eyes" has success waiting for her wherever she goes. Her beauty and charm can change an acquaintance into g friend; and, in the sunshine of her smile, friendship quickly rip ems into love.
 One secret" of the beautiful com plexion of most actresses, which iS not mystery any more, is the reg ular use of cleansing cream, such as that which bears the famous Black and White label.
 Miss Dot Farley, famous come dienne, appearing in Mack Sennett Comedies, Tn discussing cleansing cream, says; "This has been a great season for me. l have found soft, melty, inexpensive cleansing cream which seems to be doing more for my skin than any cream l have ever used. It is called Black and White Cleansing Cream, and it keeps my complexion clear, smooth and free from blackhcads and that muddy look"
 It is not surprising that very large proportion of the users of the famous Black and White Beauty Creations should be made up of peo- pie who formerly used other prep arations, when such wonderful things are accomplished by them.

BODY |S FOUND IN, RUINS OF CHURCH
Young ,Woman's Skull Frac- tured Before Fire, Officers
 Investigation Discloses

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Oct. 31.-Lying face down in the ruins of smell ne- gro church at the Four Mile post on Watermelon road, with evidences that the skull had been crushed behind and ribs broken before the fire, Dep- uty Sheriffs Foster King and w. l. Huff. accompanied by Coroner s. T. Harding, this morning found the body of a young woman so charred that they are unable to tell whether 1t is the body af white woman orr ne- gress. Every effort is being made to- day to solve the mystery, but officers have met with no success.
 The church, it is thought, burned at ? or 2:30 o'clock this morning. A passerby looked over the ruins thls morning and notified the coroner that he believed there was a body in the ruins Officers and the coroner inn mediately left this city to conduct an investigation. They returned to Tus- caloosa at noon with little evidence which will aid in solving the mystery
 Beside the body they found the steel endorsements of a suitcase, lying In such a manner as to indicate that 1t had been open at the time of the fire. There was a bar pin, so burned that. it's former value can not be determin ed. Outside the church the officers found scrap of silk which they be lieve is possibly a piece of the dead womans dress. The number of hair pins found are taken as possible in dication that the woman was white There are stays from corset, andy bits of charred silk which might havel matched the piece found outside theV church. The latter piece is ono of' broad plaid.
 As evidence that the woman was young, Dr. Hardin found that her wis dom teeth had not yet been cut But about the body there is little more to indicate age, color or station in life. The body will be held by Coroner Hardin for several days, while the sheriff's office makes every effort to establish the identity of the woman and a search is now being made in an efort to learn if any woman in this section is missing in order that the authorities may work on the mys- tery from another angle.
